I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1658 - 1657: Da Huang (Seventh Update)

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Xiaohao, along with the Saintess Ye, returned to the place where the Skull King was slain earlier.

"Sir, you’re back!" Upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao return safely, Water Blue Flower Fairy and the others immediately came forward to greet him.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"The Saintess Ye is you!!!" Ye Qingqing suddenly shouted in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief, and even more so with a sense of foreboding.

She hadn’t expected that the Saintess Ye would still be captured by Zhang Xiaohao. After all, the Saintess Ye was the Holy Daughter of the Yaksha clan, backed by a powerful force, and she mastered an escape technique that allowed her to vanish over thousands of feet in a single breath.

Yet, despite this, the Saintess Ye was still caught by Zhang Xiaohao.

"Sister Qingqing!" The Saintess Ye called out bitterly. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In the past, the two of them belonged to opposing factions within the Yaksha clan and did not get along. Unexpectedly, they met again in such a manner today.

Zhang Xiaohao gave them both an amused glance, then turned his gaze to Water Blue Flower Fairy and the others.

"How’s everyone’s cultivation going?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Reporting to the sir, under your assistance with the Ming Han Sky Crystal and Zha Muzhen’s Green Wood Buddha Skill, everyone’s physical strength has reached the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and Xian’er has even reached the Late-stage Foundation Establishment!" Water Blue Flower Fairy explained.

"As expected of the legendary treasures of nature! The results are indeed extraordinary! By the way, how do you all feel about the pressure in the air now? Does it still affect your ability to fight?" Zhang Xiaohao asked suddenly.

"Reporting to the sir, after our physical strength increased, the pressure has decreased to a tenth of what it was before. At least we can now exert the combat power of the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation!" Water Blue Flower Fairy thought for a moment and said.

"Good! Then, let’s move out!" Zhang Xiaohao declared.

"Yes, sir!" Water Blue Flower Fairy and the others nodded.

Zhang Xiaohao flipped his palm, retrieving the Three Dragon True Cauldron and the Sea Snake Three Spirit Fork.

Immediately, the group followed Zhang Xiaohao quickly onward.

This time, as they traveled, Zhang Xiaohao and his group’s pace was swift. With Water Blue Flower Fairy and the others’ physical strength now at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they could better endure the immense spiritual pressure in the air, greatly improving from before.

As time flew by, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhang Xiaohao and his group halted amidst a vast desert.

Endless yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see, with boundless desert all around and no sign of water. The scorching sun blazed fiercely, burning so intensely that it felt like it could turn a person to ash.

"Sir, it’s been nearly half a month now, and we’re still wandering in the desert. Could it be that we’ve fallen into a desert mirage?" Water Blue Flower Fairy voiced her inner doubt.

Half a month ago, after traveling continuously under Zhang Xiaohao’s lead, the group arrived at this desert, where they then plunged into it under his guidance.

Yet, over these half a month, not even a blade of grass, let alone water, had been seen.

"No, it won’t happen! With me around, whether it’s a mirage or an Illusion Realm, nothing can trap us! Furthermore, since stepping into this desert, I’ve sensed that the sunlight in the sky is filled with toxins. I’ve instructed you to use Spirit Stone essence to shield yourselves with Spiritual Power! Otherwise, under the poisonous sunlight, you’d have been burned to ash by now." Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.

"Ah! Sir, look quickly, there’s a water source and countless green grasses!" Suddenly, Water Blue Flower Fairy exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Xiaohao glanced over, activating the Three Pure Ones Scripture to observe ahead. Under its scrutiny, an expanse of desert lay before them, devoid of any water, grass, or even a trace of greenery.

"That’s a mirage! Stop looking, or you’ll become entranced." Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

"Hehe." Water Blue Flower Fairy replied with an awkward smile.

"Alright, stop standing around. After so many days of traveling, you must be hungry! Let’s prepare something to eat." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Yes, sir!" A group of Divinity Transformation Old Monsters responded respectfully.

They immediately set up camp, with some standing guard and others preparing food, while Zhang Xiaohao sat inside a tent.

"It’s time to cultivate the third layer of the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes flashed as he spoke to himself.

Since breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, he had been busy with various matters and hadn’t had time to focus on cultivating. Now, in this desert, it was an opportune moment to cultivate the third layer of the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture along with the Three Pure Ones Scripture.

With a thought, the information about the third layer of the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture appeared in his mind.

Following the recorded cultivation methods, Zhang Xiaohao studied them seriously, harboring a hint of anticipation in his heart. After mastering the first layer, it granted him the first transformation divine skill, and the second layer brought forth the divine skill of nature’s bounty. What divine skill would emerge after mastering the third layer?

The more Zhang Xiaohao thought about it, the more excited he became, eager to grasp the third layer of the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture in an instant.

Three days later.

Zhang Xiaohao fully comprehended the information of the third layer of the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture. Forming seals with his hands, he began cultivating according to its methods.

Initially, Zhang Xiaohao’s cultivation speed was somewhat slow, as he wasn’t yet well-versed. However, as time went on, he gradually became proficient with the operation principles of the third layer cultivation technique, his hand movements becoming increasingly skillful.

A surge occurred in the void, invisible and imperceptible to both the naked eye and Divine Thought. Innumerable strands of nature’s spiritual energy descended from the void, which Zhang Xiaohao absorbed and refined. These spiritual energies, hidden within the void, were drawn in dominantly by the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture.

As for the ancient battlefield, upon reaching this point, the spiritual energy in the air had completely disappeared, no longer existent.

Outside the tent.

"Hmm? Such dense spiritual energy, under its sweep, I feel the fatigue accumulated over these days has seemingly dissipated significantly!" Water Blue Flower Fairy exclaimed in astonishment.

"Indeed! Spiritual energy has long vanished here, yet there is such dense spiritual energy present. It’s truly wonderful!"

"Look! That surge of spiritual energy seems to be emanating from the sir’s tent. Could it be the sir?" Zha Muzhen pointed toward Zhang Xiaohao’s tent.

Their eyes lit up, filled with fervor as they looked toward Zhang Xiaohao’s tent.

"Starting now, split into two groups. One group will stand guard while the other seizes the opportunity to cultivate!" Water Blue Flower Fairy immediately ordered.
