Chapter 481 Errand

Chapter 481 Errand

After they found a suitable secluded spot, the group stopped so Wu Long could at least partially recuperate.

Hundreds and then thousands of talismans flew around them, creating a large formation which seemed to expand in layers.

"Eh? But isn't this going to burden you more if you control a formation while you restore your condition?"

One Core Disciple asked in puzzlement.

"Mm, this one is not so hard to maintain, plus the process will get conspicuous very soon"

He smiled as he sat down on a rock in lotus position, taking out porcelain bottles.

He took a few medicinal pills and circulated the Chaos Refining Body Tempering Art to heal himself, or rather, undo the damage while using that which hurt him to strengthen his body even more.

As always, he could not do so with the self-inflicted harm from the internally running lightning and straining his body, but the minor injuries from the fight began healing quite quickly.

Though the wound on his forearm would take a while to heal, possibly days if he did not spend an entire day actively meditating and only passively circulating the technique.

After all, it was a wound from an attack of an Essence Awakening Realm opponent, but the benefits it would give him were a lot sweeter as well. Especially against same types of damage so he would gain an advantage in the fight with Gu Zhen as a result.

He also took a few Spiritual Qi Replenishing Pills, though considering his massive reserves which were now severely depleted, the small amounts they could restore were minuscule in comparison.

He only really used them as a catalyst to start replenishing his Spiritual Qi rather than seeking an immediate increase.

The Core Disciples and Xue Bing soon understood what he meant since a massive vortex of Spiritual Qi started forming above him.

'Silver Tale Whale Heaven Swallowing Technique'

It was as if a giant maw opened up above him and a great suction started draining the surroundings of Spiritual Qi while the formations he spread earlier activated, concealing the unusual movement of Spiritual Qi while sucking in more from high up in the sky where it would not be as noticeable.

Silver Tale Whale was a Spiritual Beast Race with great ancestry. They were mostly a peaceful species, and neutral to any conflicts, though the fact they had a peaceful disposition did not mean they were weak.

This technique which they used to gather enough Spiritual Qi to cultivate was sometimes considered a hazard since they moved in large herds, and any area they passed was then drained of Spiritual Qi for some time, but it was rare that anyone dared to retaliate or try to drive them off with force.

Much like all of techniques of that race , this one was normally completely unusable without their bloodline, but Wu Long managed to adjust it for his use, though it would have been much stronger if he did have their bloodline.New novel chapters are published on novel(b)in(.)com

He also had experience doing it when he was researching his technique in the past, as he used blood of Demonic Beasts bearing a distant very diluted bloodline of Dragons, such as Flood Drakes and related kin species.

This, of course, was long before he got his first real Dragon bloodline, but he successfully purged any impurities after he was done with his experiments with no lingering effects.

There were even a few times he made mistakes and contaminated his Blood Essence, which altered his true bloodline, but even then he managed to find ways to handle it and revert the harm he had done, never stopping his research on this in case he ever made similar mistakes.

He opened his eyes about half an hour after he sat down to meditate, with the ladies around him expressing surprise and worry.

"Eh? That's it?"

"Wasn't it too short of a time after something like that? Even if you used such mysterious methods..."

"If you are worried about time to get back, we can always abandon more exploration an quickly return the old route..."

The Core Disciples expressed their concern as a light smile touched his lips.

"Thank you for your concern.

Haha, it is true that I am worried about time, but then again any short amount of time will be negligible in recuperating and we cannot afford a longer one.

So it is better to get going, at least my Spiritual Qi has restored quite a bit"

He told them reassuringly, and proceeded to lead the group on a return path through the new route.

The trip back continued with almost no differences as he made sure to conceal their presence and they carefully moved avoiding any confrontations with no merit to them.

However, as they were passing through a valley, he made a signal to slow down and when they moved closer they saw only a single Demonic Beast in the 8th tier sleeping in the distance.

"Hmm? Is there perhaps another hidden treasure nearby?"

One of the Core Disciples curiously asked since there did not appear to be anything unusual in the vicinity.

"Haha, no, this time it is my own little errand"

Wu Long chuckled, looking at the Demonic Beast with a glint in his eyes.
