Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 188 - 149 Suitable as a Burial Accompaniment_2

Little Yi had devoured the soul breath and also conveniently sucked away the soul breath of those marine beasts that Wu Hen had electrocuted, eating until his belly was round and he was completely satisfied.

He curled up on Wu Hen’s shoulder like a weightless black little snake, occasionally nuzzling against Wu Hen with his head.

It was obvious that Little Yi was becoming increasingly content with his host.

"It would be great if we had some drinks," Wu Hen said.

"Have you ever tried Longevity Wine? Not to say it can make you immortal, but the taste is really not bad. It’s sold in some areas of Red Port, though it’s a bit expensive. But today, to celebrate Brother Hen’s return, I’ll splurge and buy a jar. Just wait for me here," Wang Rui said.

"Sure."

...

Although the island’s scenery was mediocre, the aroma of food wafted in the air, attracting various Spiritual Gulls. Realizing that Wu Hen had all kinds of seafood, they cautiously approached, hoping to pick up some scraps to taste.

Wu Hen was quite generous, tossing them some trimmings to let them experience human kindness.

Taking a big bite of the fatty, tender Golden Fin Meat, Wu Hen was reminded of the top-quality bluefin tuna he had tasted in the past. This taste was several times better than bluefin tuna—melting in the mouth without the need for any cooking or seasoning, flavorful but not greasy.

Most importantly, it not only gave Wu Hen an exquisite taste experience, but as soon as it reached his stomach, it immediately transformed into a soft warm energy that spread to every part of his body through his circulating blood.

It was as if the powerful strength of the Golden Fin had been extracted and bestowed upon Wu Hen’s masculine physique.

The absorption and evolution were very noticeable!

This filled Wu Hen’s heart with joy.

In the Scroll Realm, no matter how many mythical delicacies he tasted, his physique remained completely unchanged, even deteriorating, entirely supported by a powerful soul in a hollow shell.

Lacking vitality, there was not even the slightest possibility of evolution.

Now, this body crafted by Nuwa was different. When he had eaten Spiritual Meat Dried, there had been a clear shaping and increase in strength. Now, after just a few bites of the Golden Fin, it was as if his bones were being molded and flesh congealed, experiencing a cellular evolution from head to toe!

"I really might reach the Third Rank!"

Wu Hen was thrilled. With each bite of the Golden Fin Meat, he immediately settled down and began practicing the Natural Breathing Technique that Uncle Chongli Mountain had taught him.

The spiritual energy in this otherworldly place was quite rich, which had to do with the Red Tide that swept through periodically. Each surge of the Red Tide seemed to bring a tumultuous watering of spiritual energy to this otherwise vacant area. Although the energy wasn’t as clean and gentle as in the Scroll Realm and was mixed with a heavy fishy smell and impurities, a bit of breathing and filtering was enough to stabilize the energy he had just absorbed within his body.

"This Taste Spiritual Awakening really is wonderful. I don’t need to operate, practice, meditate, and all those other things that other cultivators do. I just need to eat and digest to improve my strength," Wu Hen was becoming more satisfied with Taste Spiritual Awakening. Your next chapter awaits on novelhall.Côm@@@@

For others to advance their physique, they need to temper their bone and train their muscles, leveraging various Life Liquids and gene powders, often encountering side effects that lead to bodily rejection.

I have none of these concerns. Taste Spiritual Awakening is as good as having a powerful absorption system and rejection system–just eat to grow stronger!

"Let’s test the effect."

Wu Hen was defeated by Little Yi’s blunt reasoning.

Alright, no need to practice Spear Skills then.

Since the spear had its own weapon art system, and it could practice on its own, Wu Hen would just serve as a vessel.

"Wu Hen, the wine is here!" Wang Rui rushed back excitedly.

"You’re quite slow, lad, if you were any later, you wouldn’t even get fish bones." Wu Hen smiled.

Wang Rui opened a jar of Longevity Wine, said to be a wine offered by the Longevity Sect to manage relations in Red Port, very favored by the Marquises of Red Port.

"Come on, brother, it’s been a long time since we drank together, bottoms up!" Wang Rui said.

Speaking of which, I have a question for you, how much does a cup of Imperial Jade Liquid Wine cost?" Wu Hen asked calmly.

"This..." Wang Rui’s expression suddenly stiffened, then he laughed and urged Wu Hen to drink.

Wu Hen, however, did not drink the wine and kept his gaze fixed on the person before him.

Wang Rui felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny, only managing to force a dry laugh.

"If a single hair on my good brother Wang Rui’s head is missing, I will exterminate your entire clan!" Wu Hen continued, his tone exuding a chill.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the Wang Rui before him suddenly retreated rapidly, his body displaying patches of clay, cracking widely like defective porcelain.

From his cheeks to his skin, then to his muscles...

In a short while, these patches of clay completely fell off the person, revealing another face and body.

Wu Hen had seen this man before.

It was Dao Master Yue Yongqing, with an exceptionally somber face, his eyes venomous like those of a snake.

Yue Yongqing had regained his true appearance, but confusion still flashed through his mind.

How exactly had he been uncovered by the other party!

Could it be that the poison he put in the Longevity Wine was detected by his sense of smell, that the other party was an Olfactory Awakener?

Or was it because he had not answered that question about how much Imperial Jade Liquid Wine costs a cup—who knew the price of that stuff? And he wasn’t someone unacquainted with living in Nuwa God End, if it were common knowledge, he would definitely be aware of it.

"I didn’t expect you to be able to shape-shift with mud, too suitable to be a burial object!" Wu Hen said disdainfully to Yue Yongqing.

"Insolence, this is the Eternal Soil transformation technique of our sect!"

"Turn into a dog; it suits your temperament," Wu Hen mocked.

"Shut up, you took advantage of the Laws of Nuwa God End to sever my arm, but today I will tear you limb from limb!" Yue Yongqing pointed at Wu Hen and declared.
