Chapter 91: Chapter 89: Returning to the Origin Sacred Body_1
Fang Ren looked at her in a daze, not quite understanding her behavior.
"Weren't you going to the bathroom? Hurry up and go," Liu Qianqian called back with a smile.
Fang Ren quickly caught up and added, "This pill has no side effects on the average person's body."
"I already said I don't want to eat it. Just take it back already," Liu Qianqian said.
Fang Ren hesitated for a moment, then put the gold pill back in the small box and said, "If you don't want to take the pill, I have another way to heal your arm. Stretch out your arm to me."
"No need..."
Fang Ren gently grabbed her bandaged arm, reached into his pocket and pulled out Xiao Qianye, and hung it on Liu Qianqian's injured arm.
"Heal her," Fang Ren said softly as he patted Xiao Qianye's head.
"Hey ha."
The little guy clung to Liu Qianqian's arm and soon started to emit a red glow all over its body.
Seeing Xiao Qianye, Liu Qianqian's eyes showed surprise as she exclaimed, "What kind of pet is this? I've never seen it before."
Whoosh—
The red glow from Xiao Qianye instantly dissipated, and Liu Qianqian's face froze for a moment. She moved her arm around and then she became even more astonished: "My arm's healed?"
"Hey ha!"
Xiao Qianye hung on her arm, looking proud as it patted its chest with its round arms, as if asking for credit and reward.
"Wow, it's so spiritual."
Liu Qianqian picked it up from her arm and held it in her palm, instantly melting at the little guy's cute appearance.
"What exactly is this pet?" Liu Qianqian asked Fang Ren excitedly.
"Spirit Form," Fang Ren said casually.
"Spirit Form?" Liu Qianqian was even more astonished as she looked at the little guy, constantly touching its round face with her finger, "How can a Spirit Form be alive? And it seems to have consciousness."
"That I don't know."
"It couldn't be your Spirit Form, could it?"
"Hmm," Fang Ren nodded.
He wouldn't go to great lengths to hide his many secrets anymore, like the identity of Qing'an, or his talent for refining tools, including his current cultivation talent.
Having decided to forge ahead boldly, anyone who wanted to know everything about him, he was ready to reveal it full on, just fearing that the person wouldn't be able to handle it all.
He was determined to show the world that he was the lover of Xuan Nv, to let everyone think he, a toad, was coveting swan meat, to throw everything out there bit by bit and crush the cold looks and contempt of everyone.
"It must be very powerful, right?"
Liu Qianqian looked at Fang Ren. This time she wasn't too surprised; after all, in her eyes, Fang Ren's cultivation talent had already surpassed Xuan Nv's. It was completely normal for a Spiritual Root to produce a living Spirit Form.
However, a living Spirit Form with consciousness was something unprecedented in human history since the dawn of the Cultivation Era.
Fang Ren looked at Xiao Qianye, recalled everything he had seen in the Chaotic World, and couldn't help but smile slightly as he nodded, "Hmm, it's only a bit weaker than me."
"Hey ha hey ha!"
As soon as Fang Ren finished speaking, Xiao Qianye immediately became so agitated in Liu Qianqian's hands that it started bouncing around, waving its round arms as if it was about to hit someone.
"Protest invalid."
Fang Ren said this and flicked its little bottom with his finger.
The little guy became even more indignant, making noises and unbeknownst to what it was saying.
Liu Qianqian rubbed its bottom and said, "Don't hit it. It can feel pain."
"..."
Fang Ren glanced at her, and couldn't help thinking about how Bai Qi protected the little guy earlier. Did this little guy just naturally endear itself to girls?
By the time they reached the bathroom, Liu Qianqian had already returned Xiao Qianye to Fang Ren, and they each entered the men's and women's restrooms, respectively.
As soon as Fang Ren entered, the atmosphere inside the men's restroom was very tense, with two groups of boys in different school uniforms showing hostility even while using the bathroom.
As he walked in, everyone's gaze focused on him, and they started muttering around him, making it so uncomfortable for him that he couldn't use the urinal and had to enter a stall and close the door.
Not long after, Fang Ren came out of the bathroom feeling uncomfortable and washed his hands, before taking Xiao Qianye out of his pocket to wait for Liu Qianqian at the entrance.
Soon, Liu Qianqian emerged with a smiling face.
"Hey ha..."
Seeing Liu Qianqian, Xiao Qianye's big eyes stared straight at her belly, sitting motionless in Fang Ren's palm.
"What's with the little guy?"
Seeing Xiao Qianye staring straight at her, Liu Qianqian became curious and examined herself, finding nothing amiss.
"What are you looking at?" Fang Ren flicked its bottom again with his finger.
"Hey ha..."
Qianye pointed at Liu Qianqian's lower abdomen with its round ball-like arms, raised its head, and looked at Fang Ren with its two big eyes, seemingly trying to express something.
"What's wrong with you?" Fang Ren also glanced at Liu Qianqian's belly and saw no dirty stains on her clothes. He was quite puzzled by its actions.
Liu Qianqian watched it silently for a while before whispering, "Could it be talking about... the Spirit Embryo inside me?"
"Hey ha hey ha!"
Qianye suddenly bounced up from Fang Ren's palm, the round head nodding incessantly at Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian smiled, "As expected of a Spirit Form, it can even sense the Spirit Embryo."
Fang Ren looked down at the little one, "If it's about the Spirit Embryo, why are you so surprised?"
As soon as Qianye heard his words, it became excited, waving its spherical arms wildly and making "hey ha hey ha" noises. Its small round face was a mix of seriousness, surprise, and frowning, unclear about what it wanted to convey.
"What's the little guy talking about?"
Liu Qianqian bent down to look at Qianye, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Hey ha hey ha!"
Qianye gestured a large ball with its hands, but seeing that the two people didn't understand, it began to write words in the palm of Fang Ren's hand with its ball-like arms.
Fang Ren felt a sense, and he could now accurately perceive the patterns of the words written by the little one, almost without any difference in recognition.
"Guī... Yuan?"
Fang Ren felt the little one write out two words, his brows tightly furrowed, unable to decipher the meaning.
Then, the little one wrote another two words in Fang Ren's hand.
"Sacred... Body?" Fang Ren was taken aback, "Sacred Body? What does that mean, is it referring to this type of constitution?"
"Hey ha!"
Qianye nodded.
"Talking about Sacred Body." Liu Qianqian laughed, "It's just a constitution for birthing children."
"Hey ha hey ha!"
Upon hearing her mention childbirth, Qianye immediately shook its head in panic, then began a series of gesticulations, chattering in a variety of expressions.
"What are you trying to say, making all this noise?" Fang Ren stretched out a finger and flicked Qianye's little bottom.
The two of them didn't linger there and turned back to return to the classroom, chatting all the way while watching Qianye show off its extensive knowledge.
By the time they reached the classroom, they still hadn't understood what it was trying to say. Before entering the classroom, Fang Ren put Qianye back into his trouser pocket, knowing that if the students in the class saw the little guy, it would probably end up being manhandled by a bunch of girls.
After the day's lessons, Liu Qianqian wanted to have dinner with Fang Ren, but as soon as the class ended, Fang Ren dashed out of the classroom, so she had to go to the canteen with Li Xinyue.
Fang Ren hadn't seen Jian Qi'er all day, and he had checked the list of students who had died on campus, which didn't include Jian Qi'er. He didn't know where she had gone.
After leaving the classroom, Fang Ren found an empty classroom on campus, drew the curtains of the classroom, and then took out two rank-five mystical pills he had brought in the morning.
"Hey ha hey ha!"
Qianye leaped out of his pocket and landed on a bench nearby, chirping and chattering again.
Fang Ren was just about to cultivate with the rank-five mystical pills, but seeing it behaving like that, he felt quite helpless and shook his head, "What's the matter with you?"
Qianye held onto one of his fingers and ran to the palm of his hand to write four words, still the same "Sacred Body" from earlier in the afternoon.
"Isn't it just the Spiritual Embryo Constitution?" Fang Ren said helplessly, "Don't tell me you want me to improve my cultivation level through dual cultivation with her? Let me tell you, if you keep thinking this way, I will really smack your bottom."
"Hey ha hey ha!"
Qianye shook its head vigorously with a serious expression and thumped the palm of his hand with its spherical arms, making a fresh burst of chirping sounds.
Seeing it deny his guess, Fang Ren became even more exasperated, "Then what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Hey ha hey ha!"
"You first carve whatever you want to say on the desk with a twig, I need to start cultivating."
Speaking, Fang Ren simply picked up a Gold Pill and popped it into his mouth, then sat cross-legged on the seat, with True Qi beginning its rotation within his body.
Qianye didn't heed his instruction to carve words; instead, it bounced to the top of his head in two or three moves, imitating him by sitting cross-legged and closing its eyes as if it was cultivating too.
This Gold Pill was known as the "Heavenly Spirit Pill," with extremely powerful effects during the cultivation process. Its main function was to bring the person who consumed it into a "Heavenly Spirit" state within one hour.
In this state, the flow of True Qi in the meridians was at the whim of the cultivator, highly in sync with the surrounding nature's spiritual energy, speeding up the cultivation rate by a hundredfold.
However, the pill's effects lasted only for an hour, and this kind of pill could only be used once every three months. Overuse could lead to chaos in the True Qi within the meridians, and even the Spiritual Root could no longer distinguish between the nature's spiritual energy and True Qi, ultimately destroying the Spiritual Root and resulting in death from the burning of all meridians.
Currently, there are only five masters in the world who can refine this pill, and one of them is Master Qing'an.
As the Heavenly Spirit Pill entered his body, all the meridian patterns on Fang Ren's body began to surface outside of his flesh, and the surrounding nature's spiritual energy gathered towards him at an invisible pace to the naked eye.
Soon, the color of the meridians inside his body changed from red to gray, directly connecting the native True Qi in the Spiritual Root with the surrounding nature's spiritual energy.
The speed of True Qi Rotation surged like a taking off jet, like streaks of light darting back and forth. Then came the agony brought by the pill.
But such pain was now negligible to him.
