Chapter 2213: Testing
"That person indeed bears a striking resemblance to our ancestor."
"However, I’m certain he shouldn’t be our ancestor."
Black Spirit’s eyes glittered.
"What do you plan to do?"
Si’er asked.
Black Spirit said:
"Even though he’s not our ancestor, I still intend to treat him with the honor due to our ancestor."
"Moreover, I plan to give him the Earth Flame Pill, hoping he can protect my She People."
Upon hearing this, Si’er’s face changed.
"What?"
"Aunt, you want to give this person the Earth Flame Pill?"
"That’s absolutely impossible."
"The Earth Flame Pill is your hope for the future."
"Once you lose the Earth Flame Pill, you’ll lose your hope for further advancement."
"That’s absolutely impossible."
"If you’re truly worried, I can invite my master over."
"My master’s cultivation ranks in the top ten across the surrounding sea territories."
"What qualities does this person possess to compare with my master?"
Si’er vehemently refused.
Black Spirit hesitated for a moment.
"Your master’s cultivation is indeed very high, but he may not be willing to get involved in our affairs here."
"Moreover, the person’s cultivation is unknown."
"If he’s slightly lower than your master, offending him may not be too troublesome."
"But if his cultivation is higher than your master’s, then we would be offending someone even more terrifying."
"By then, even if the Lan Witch Clan doesn’t exterminate us, this person might."
Upon hearing this, Si’er’s brows furrowed.
Black Spirit’s words were indeed reasonable.
She pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly brightened.
"Aunt, why not let me test him."
"Test?"
"How to test?"
"Si’er, you must not act recklessly!"
Black Spirit quickly stopped her.
Si’er smiled and said:
"Aunt, don’t worry, Si’er has a way."
"By then, I definitely won’t offend him."
"I’ll accompany you when you deliver the Earth Flame Pill."
Seeing Si’er so confident, Black Spirit thought for a moment and agreed.
"Very well."
"But you must pay attention to your actions."
Si’er smiled and said:
"Aunt, rest assured, I know."
...
On the other side.
Two days passed swiftly.
During these two days, Zhou Yu refined some medicinal power.
However, his body remained dry.
The previously refined medicinal power surprisingly had no effect whatsoever.
Just then, Zhou Yu suddenly realized something.
His complexion changed.
He saw a mini version of the Demon Blade appear in his Dantian.
Wasn’t this mini version the Plane Treasure?
How could it appear in the Dantian?
Zhou Yu, startled, immediately projected his Divine Sense into the Four Directions Realm.
Only to find the Demon Blade in the Four Directions Realm had already disappeared.
Zhou Yu’s complexion changed dramatically.
He suddenly realized what might have happened.
Could it be, the Demon Blade actually ran from the Four Directions Realm to the Dantian by itself?
No, after executing the second strike that day, when Zhou Yu was almost drained and escaped barely alive, he had immediately returned the Demon Blade to the Four Directions Realm.
However, being preoccupied with escaping, he hadn’t noticed that the Demon Blade hadn’t returned to the Four Directions Realm but had appeared in his Dantian instead.
And continuously absorbing the True Yuan inside his body.
No wonder all the pill medicine he took for restoring True Yuan didn’t work these past days.
This matter was simply inconceivable.
Now, Zhou Yu wanted to expel the Demon Blade from his Dantian, but he was devoid of Primordial Power and couldn’t control the Demon Blade at all.
He tried several methods in succession.
None were effective.
In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to accept reality.
It seemed, to understand the Demon Blade’s situation, he would have to wait until his cultivation was completely restored.
Yet now, he faced a huge problem: all Spirit Pills he consumed were immediately converted into Primordial Power and immediately devoured by the Demon Blade.
His body couldn’t retain a bit of True Yuan, how could he recover?
Zhou Yu was speechless to the extreme.
However, he still discovered some loopholes to exploit.
That instant when the Spiritual Medicine converting into True Yuan was consumed by the Demon Blade, there was actually a short process.
Even though the process was brief, Zhou Yu could utilize this to control the True Yuan and open the Four Directions Realm.
Having thought about this, Zhou Yu immediately consumed another Spiritual Medicine.
He then vigorously refined the medicine, and once it converted into Primordial Power, Zhou Yu at once controlled this power and opened the Four Directions Realm.
In the next moment.
A purple Demon Beast emerged before him.
This purple Demon Beast was indeed the Purple Tiger.
Success!
Zhou Yu revealed an expression of excitement.
Given his present internal state, meant he lacked self-defense capabilities.
Moreover, after much consideration, Zhou Yu sensed the issue with the She People wasn’t as simple.
Hence, for safety, he released the Purple Tiger.
If truly something unexpected happened, having the Purple Tiger beside him meant immense safety.
After the Purple Tiger emerged, Zhou Yu instructed it to transform into the size of a kitten, completely concealing its aura.
The Purple Tiger obediently transformed into kitten size, then lazily settled next to Zhou Yu and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu continued refining medicinal power.
Though he couldn’t restore the True Yuan inside his body.
But a favorable update was his Brahma Heaven Demon Qi could be replenished.
The healing blood Qi Spiritual Medicine consumed in the past few days restored a small portion of his Brahma Heaven Demon Qi within.
Though only a minuscule portion.
However, as long as it’s recoverable, there is hope.
In the future, even if Zhou Yu’s True Yuan remains un-recovered temporarily, should the Brahma Heaven Demon Qi fully replenish, he could effortlessly kill ordinary Void Refinement Realm experts relying solely on Body Power.
Upon discovering this, Zhou Yu shifted his recovery focus to Brahma Heaven Demon Qi.
Yet another two days went by.
Suddenly, two breaths rapidly approached.
Zhou Yu softly opened his eyes, glancing over.
He saw that the one coming was Black Spirit.
But next to Black Spirit, there was an additional little girl.
Black Spirit, together with Si’er, upon reaching Zhou Yu, respectfully said:
"Great Ancestor, Black Spirit has arrived."
"By my side is my niece, Si’er."
"She’s just returned from her training outside."
At this time, Si’er curiously examined Zhou Yu, with eyes wondering about something.
Zhou Yu merely lightly glanced at Si’er, then nodded indifferently.
"Understood."
Subsequently, Black Spirit further said:
"Great Ancestor, I’ve brought the Earth Flame Pill, please inspect it."
Having said this, Black Spirit withdrew a Jade Box from the Storage Ring and placed it on her palm.
In the next moment, the Jade Box directly flew into Zhou Yu’s hand.
Next, Zhou Yu opened the Jade Box and began inspecting it.
Meanwhile, the silent Si’er standing beside Black Spirit seemed to quietly produce a Jade Talisman only faintly luminous, then stealthily cast a spell.
In the next moment, that Spirit Talisman melded into the void, flying toward Zhou Yu...
