Chapter 33: White Qi from the Reverse Spring, Infant Head and Dragon Heart

Phew~puff~puff~
Three sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh rang out almost simultaneously.

The first sound.

It came from a long duck beak, which pierced the kappa's arm like a sharp blade and penetrated one-third of its chest.

Second sound.

The kappa's sharp claws had already sunk into the duck's neck. It was only a fraction away from completely killing the annoying duck.

however.

The third sound that pierced through flesh and blood made everything stop.

A fish-butchering knife cut through the flesh on the kappa's chest and pierced its heart from the back.

"Woo~~~"

The kappa's ugly face was full of surprise.

He slowly lowered his head and met a pair of fierce and resolute duck eyes.

Then, the once strong body could no longer exert any strength and fell softly into the mud.

Won!

Song Lin and Sun Er lay exhausted in the mud, slowly stretched out their wings and arms, and put them together in the dark mud. They couldn't see each other, but they were touched silently in their hearts.

This battle.

It is a miracle created by two disabled people!

‘Wow~’

The fish-killing knife on Kappa's heart suddenly and mysteriously disintegrated.

【The tenth day of the sixth lunar month.】

[You and the fisherman fought a fierce battle against the Kappa at Baiping Ferry, and killed it with a combined attack, thus eliminating a future threat to the people of Minjiang.]

【After this battle. 】

[You have become even more tacitly connected, and your sword resonance technique is even stronger than before! This is a killer move that will give any enemy a headache, and even if you have seen it once, you will still be unable to defend against it.]

[After a short rest, you dived back into the riverbed and entered a magical world.]

[Clumps of transparent soil look like floating islands in the clearer water. Soil is called 'Taisui' and water is called 'Qingling'. In the chapter 'Spiritual Food' of the Taoshilu, it is written: 'Taisui soil nourishes the bones and muscles, while Qingling water moisturizes the blood. Both contain a trace of the essence of water'. ]

[Long-term practice in this environment may help you to comprehend the power of the Qilin more quickly.]

[You and the fisherman were overjoyed when you saw this. You took out the bag you had brought with you and filled it with a lot of Tai Sui soil and Qingling water. Finally, at the bottom of the world made of Qingling water, you made another unexpected discovery.]

[A never-ending vortex continuously absorbs the water vapor of the Minjiang River, as if it leads to a mysterious world. Beside the vortex, there is a strange skeleton left.]

[As soon as you stepped into the vicinity of the vortex, your bird-watching fate was activated, and your heart suddenly became alarmed, and you subconsciously stepped away. Sun Er didn't understand why, so he pointed to the skeleton next to the vortex, indicating that his previous "Tao Shi Lu" was obtained here. ]

[Just as he was about to step forward, the vortex suddenly spit out a sharp white edge, tearing open a vacuum several meters long in the surrounding clear water, which slowly closed after a long time. After a while, another one appeared... There was no pattern at all.]

[You stood there for a long time, and finally didn't dare to move forward. I don't know how much luck Sun Er had to spend to obtain the Tao Shi Lu before! ]

[Soon after you left.]

[The reverse spring at the bottom of the river suddenly burst out with countless white rays, tearing the surrounding space of dozens of meters into pieces, leaving only the incomplete skeleton.]

【On the Baiping Ferry. 】

[Two figures emerged from the water. Looking at the birds flying across the sky, you suddenly had an idea and dived into the water again. After a while, you pulled up a dwarf-like corpse.]

[Kappa Corpse. Your inspiration finally helped you not miss the biggest gain of this trip...]

"The biggest gain from this trip?"

Song Lin expressed his surprise.

Could it be that there is some magical thing hidden in the body of this kappa?
Yes! It can grow so fast, in addition to its own extraordinary talent, there must be other magical things in its body.

[You and Sun Er return to the hut by the Minjiang River, put down your things, and hunt a two-meter-long bighead carp king in the river. Then stew it with Tai Sui soil and Qingling water for an hour.]

[Eat the fish meat and drink the dried fish soup. You are a little nervous and silently feel the changes in your body. This pot of fish soup, which you got with so much difficulty, is your last hope...]

[A gentle airflow suddenly rises from your abdomen and spreads to your limbs. You open your eyes immediately and look at Sun Er, whose face is filled with joy. Your heart finally settles down.]

[It works! The combination of these three nourishing and qi-replenishing wonders is really effective in treating your injuries.]

[After the surprise is over, you hold the fish-cutting knife in your mouth and start to dissect the Kappa's body. The fisherman is watching from the side, confused, so he simply cooks another pot of fish soup and continues to practice the Gluttony Hundred Qi Diagram.]

[Limbs, head, heart, liver, lungs, intestines...soon the hut was filled with blood, and pieces of body parts were lying on the ground.]

[You did not find anything unusual on the Kappa's body.]

[You were unwilling to give up, so you cut the body into pieces again. Finally, in the ventricle of the kappa's heart, you found a mysterious object wrapped in it.]

[A small heart within a heart, shaped like a curled-up dragon, with a strange head like a baby, and a mouth as wide as a finger full of fangs. Next to the baby's head, there is a small bulge, as if a second head is about to grow.]

【Infant Head Dragon Heart】

[This thing is the heart of the heart, one in a million, and those who possess this heart are all alien species among Kappa. ]

[Once it is given time to grow a second infant head, the Kappa's strength will increase tenfold. If the nine infants gather together... Fortunately, you succeeded. You did not give this giant monster in the river a chance to grow.]

[But a broken baby dragon heart is enough to help your physique break through the limit. ]

"Infant-headed dragon heart! Such terrifying growth potential!"

Song Lin took a deep breath, his eyes flickering, "This heart within the heart can help me break through the limits of my physique? But...how do I use it?"

Looking at the strange heart that was still beating after leaving the body, Song Lin hesitated.

I wanted to swallow it immediately, but I was afraid of wasting this opportunity.

"Eating... is it really that simple? It would be great if the missing chapters on the strange and the spiritual in the gluttonous food record were still there."

"Forget it, let's make plans after I recover!"

【After this.】

[You and Sun Er feed on bighead carp every day, along with Tai Sui soil and Qing Ling water. The combination of the three will instantly boost the vitality within. Then, you will begin to practice the gluttonous eating 100 Qi diagram, keeping all the nutrients in your body.]

[July. After a month of continuous practice, the results are remarkable. Sun Er's tendons are reconnected, and you spread your wings and fly freely in the sky again.]

【August.】

[You practiced hard under Bai Pingdu, absorbed the power of the pure water, and successfully entered the Qilin Power stage. Your cultivation caught up with Sun Er's pace.]

【September.】

[You are still practicing, don't be impatient. With your current accumulation, it is far from enough to face Chen Guzhou in the Gangqi realm.]

【Qi and blood, thunder sound, and Gangqi. There is a distance between heaven and earth in between. You always remember the comment in the Fate of a Fool, 'One heart is sincere, and great accumulation leads to great success...'】

[Sun Er, who has a bright yellow fate, still has a lot of room for growth in the future. What he needs is time, one year, three years, five years, even ten years... He has the patience to make all the preparations.]

[You start thinking about how to use the baby head dragon heart. This thing has been placed for three months, but it still has no signs of withering. Instead, it swells slightly every day, like a heart beating. The baby head that was pierced by the fish knife even shows a slight sign of healing.]

[“This thing cannot be simply swallowed and used for your own benefit.” You are certain in your heart.]

【While hesitating. 】

[You suddenly realize that Sun Er's cultivation has not improved for a long time.]

[September 9th is Double Ninth Festival.]

[The fisherman's originally vigorous energy and blood began to decline...]
