I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1662 - 1661: Water Essence

"Sir, what should we do now?" Zha Muzhen asked.

"Heh heh!" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a mysterious smile.

With a thought, he controlled the Xuantian Jiao Sword in his hand to shrink, and in just a moment, the Xuantian Jiao Sword had reduced to the size of an embroidery needle, about three feet long.

Holding the shrunken Xuantian Jiao Sword, Zhang Xiaohao gently inserted it into the wall.

Cha!

A faint sound was heard, and the wall was silently pierced by the Xuantian Jiao Sword, revealing a small opening in front of Zhang Xiaohao and Zha Muzhen.

Retracting the Xuantian Jiao Sword, Zhang Xiaohao waited quietly for the lake water to flow over, but an awkward situation arose for him.

The opening was there, yet not a single drop of river water flowed out.

"Hmm? Why isn’t the lake water coming over?" Zhang Xiaohao looked puzzled.

"Sir, maybe the opening you pierced is too small. How about making it a bit bigger and trying again?" Zha Muzhen suggested thoughtfully.

Zhang Xiaohao pondered and found the suggestion reasonable.

He then controlled the Xuantian Jiao Sword in his hand to expand again and stabbed at the previous opening once more.

This time, the opening grew larger, about the size of an egg, yet still, the lake water did not come across.

"What’s going on? It’s still not flowing over!" Zhang Xiaohao frowned.

"Exactly! It’s already this big, yet the water from the opposite lake hasn’t come over? That’s unscientific!!!" Zha Muzhen was equally perplexed.

Not willing to accept this, Zhang Xiaohao put his head near the opening, thought about it, and decided to take a risk and try something.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, exerting a strong suction through the opening towards the liquid opposite; under the power of Zhang Xiaohao’s suction, the lake water silently shifted, and a ball of liquid was drawn into Zhang Xiaohao’s mouth.

This ball of river water had just entered his belly when it transformed into a raging spiritual power, rushing into his body with a force no less powerful than a top-grade Spirit Stone.

"So that’s how it is! I understand now; no wonder the Three-headed Monster Fish is stubbornly staying here and not leaving. This is the reason!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

"Sir, what’s going on exactly?" Zha Muzhen asked curiously.

"Heh heh!" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a mysterious smile.

Holding the Xuantian Jiao Sword again, he pierced another egg-sized opening on the nearby wall, then returned the Xuantian Jiao Sword into his arm.

"Go ahead, try inhaling yourself; I guarantee you’ll feel great!" Zhang Xiaohao playfully suggested.

"Ah! Sir, are you sure about this? This action looks too inelegant, almost like... well, you know." Zha Muzhen said awkwardly.

"Are you sure you don’t want to inhale? This is a rare opportunity, possibly a once-in-a-thousand-years chance for you! Think carefully about it; you might miss your last good opportunity." Zhang Xiaohao chuckled playfully.

"Sir, do we really need to inhale?" Zha Muzhen hesitated for a moment.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s enigmatic gaze, Zha Muzhen gritted his teeth and thought that since the sir had already inhaled, he could too; it wouldn’t be embarrassing!

Immediately, he approached the other opening, put his mouth to it, and inhaled a ball of liquid about the size of a baby’s fist into his mouth.

"Ah! This feels awesome!!!" Zha Muzhen exclaimed comfortably.

After digesting the spiritual power inside him, Zha Muzhen spoke enthusiastically.

"Sir, we’ve struck gold this time; one mouthful of lake water is equivalent to a top-grade Spirit Stone! This is truly a heavenly opportunity! And the spiritual power in the lake water is incredibly pure, without a trace of impurity. If we were to consume the entire lake, I think our cultivation level would soar multiple times!"

"Weren’t you the one saying you wouldn’t inhale, claiming the action was inelegant, embarrassing, almost like... well, you know!" Zhang Xiaohao teased playfully.

"Heh heh! It’s all thanks to your excellent guidance, sir." Zha Muzhen replied, discreetly flattering him.

"Get lost! But yes, the Yaksha Clan on the other side is getting closer; this good stuff shouldn’t be wasted at all! Hmm, let’s let them and the Monster Fish fight it out while we reap the benefits!" Zhang Xiaohao spoke with a glint of malice in his eyes.

"Sir, what should we do then?" Zha Muzhen asked.

"Light the fire within!" Zhang Xiaohao replied coldly.

He immediately began to operate the Three Pure Ones Scripture, sweeping his Divine Thought into the lake, purposefully tapping in front of the hole that the Yaksha Clan was trying to excavate on the opposite side, sending ripples into the depths of the lake.

The Three-headed Monster Fish resting on the lake bed felt the vibrations from the opposite wall and immediately moved its massive body, rushing toward the wall.

Moments later, the Three-headed Monster Fish swam to the opposite wall, and Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his Divine Thought.

Even without the tapping of Divine Thought, the loud digging sounds coming from the neighboring cave alerted the Three-headed Monster Fish.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

The Three-headed Monster Fish let out an angry roar, and its three heads suddenly rolled, forming a Water Dragon Vortex, holding back, accumulating energy in the dark, preparing to launch a fatal attack on the Yaksha Clan on the opposite side.

"Heh heh! Don’t just stand there; watch the show while absorbing the water spirit!" Zhang Xiaohao kicked him lightly.

He then leaned over to the opening, opened his mouth wide, and inhaled; a terrifying suction emerged, drawing the liquid from the other side toward him. Under Zhang Xiaohao’s suction, the liquid continuously rushed into his mouth.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao start to inhale, Zha Muzhen didn’t waste any more time and leaned over to his opening, using all his strength to inhale sharply.

As the two of them absorbed the water, the lake water quickly flowed into their bodies.

No matter how much Zha Muzhen absorbed, his speed was still too slow; compared to Zhang Xiaohao’s, it was ten times slower. Who said his Cultivation Technique wasn’t as good as Zhang Xiaohao’s Shennong Reincarnation Scripture?

Their absorption was merely a drop in the bucket for the vast lake, entirely insignificant; besides, the Three-headed Monster Fish’s entire focus was on the Yaksha Clan, without paying any attention to Zhang Xiaohao and Zha Muzhen.

Every mouthful of liquid was equivalent to a top-grade Spirit Stone, containing incredibly pure spiritual power.

As these abundant lake waters entered Zhang Xiaohao’s body, they were refined by the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture, transforming into the purest spiritual power rushing towards Zhang Xiaohao’s back.

In conditions invisible to the naked eye, even Zhang Xiaohao himself didn’t know that a blurry Reincarnation Roulette, about the size of a basketball, was rapidly absorbing the abundant spiritual power within Zhang Xiaohao...

On the other hand, Zha Muzhen, after absorbing so much Spiritual Liquid, was witnessing his cultivation level increase rapidly, like a rocket.
