Great!
Qing Feng breathed a sigh of relief when Zhou Bao’s Flower of the Body was successfully gathered.
He actually wasn’t fully confident in helping Zhou Bao gathering the Three Flowers above the Head in ten days as he claimed, because it was something that entirely depended on Zhou Bao. If Zhou Bao was neither strong-willed nor blessed, it would be impossible to gather the Flower of the Body.
However, Qing Feng did not expect Zhou Bao to gather the Flower of the Body so quickly. He thought Zhou Bao would need at least two days. Only when it took Zhou Bao that long would he be able to remove the protozoa in his acupoints. Qing Feng clearly remembered what happened when he removed the protozoa. In those days, he only had three acupoints opened, and the quality of his Dharma power was far inferior to that of Zhou Bao. He had no idea that the Mysterious Icy Divine Light actually existed.
However, after witnessing the whole process of Zhou Bao gathering the Flower of the Body, he knew what was going on.
“The Heavenly Magic Eye really is fabulous!” Qing Feng whispered in admiration before he reached out his finger and dripped another drop of transparent liquid onto Zhou Bao’s Heavenly Magic Eye. As before, when the liquid instantly penetrated his Heavenly Magic Eye, it was obvious to Zhou Bao that the Heavenly Magic Eye had formed an uncanny correspondence with his body.
“Now practice your Heavenly Magic Eye once again. When you’re finished, it will be an indispensable part of your body!”
As Qing Feng said, Zhou Bao had never before experienced such a physical connection with his Heavenly Magic Eye and that even though he had refined it.
“Amazing, it’s amazing! It feels completely different!” said Zhou Bao with his eyes gently closed, feeling the power of his Heavenly Magic Eye within his body. “Thank you for your help!”
After that, Qing Feng did not help Zhou Bao, because it was a meticulous work. Only thanks to Zhou Bao’s special constitution, the work was accelerated by countless times.
If one didn’t have a Dharma Power-restoring Skill, the speed of Qi restoration in the Dantian would be slow and the amount of Dharma power would be small. That way, the compression process would be extremely slow, not to mention the apprehension of the pneuma during the process.
However, Zhou Bao did have a Dharma Power-restoring Skill. When he had received Qing Feng’s instructions, Zhou Bao forced the Dharma power inside his body into action. With sufficient Dharma powers and high running speed, a Dharma power storm formed in the center of his Dantian. The storm swirled like a tornado or an endless vortex, drawing Dharma powers from all over his body.
There was no pain in the process. Zhou Bao had been brave the entire time, sitting for three days and three nights. In that time, the Dharma power amassing in his Dantian became unmeasurable. And what might be the sapling of the Seven Wonderful Techniques had formed a solid ball entirely made of Dharma power at its tip. But Zhou Bao knew that it was not the time for a qualitative change.
The solid ball was also a Dharma power vortex, spinning at a rate of millions of revolutions per second, which was completely beyond the limit of the average person’s vision or even the Human Immortal’s vision. But it was not enough. It could only quantitively accumulate Dharma powers, but it could not lead to a qualitative change of the Dharma power.
Qing Feng could no longer stand by. In his view, Zhou Bao’s Flower of the Qi was long overdue.
“Well, it looks like he needs another drop. Damn it! Boy, why did you practice the Mysterious Icy Divine Light so perfectly?! Don’t you know that the higher the quality of the Dharma power, the more difficult it will be to break through in the future?! I can only do this much. The rest is up to you in the future!” As he complained, he once again dripped a drop of a transparent liquid on Zhou Bao like before.
The drop was so wonderful. It immediately penetrated into Zhou Bao’s body, and then it entered his Dantian and melted into his Mysterious Icy Divine Light without any hindrance.
Zhou Bao’s Mysterious Icy Divine Light was a supreme Dharma power without impurities. Heterogeneous energies or impurities that would be mixed in would be pushed out in a very short amount of time. However, the transparent liquid didn’t seem to be simple. As it melted into the Mysterious Icy Divine Light, the spinning, solid ball at the tip of the sapling suddenly became ten times faster.
Ten times… you know what that meant?
The speed of a million revolutions per second suddenly became ten million revolutions per second, causing Zhou Bao to shake and to be unable to maintain the balance of his Dharma power regeneration and attrition. In an instant, all his Dharma powers were drained. The vortex in the center of his Dantian, which had been spinning rapidly with Dharma powers as its source, suddenly lost its support, so it would not last for long, at least it could not maintain such a fast speed. Although Zhou Bao had the Dharma Power-restoring Skill, it took some time to restore the Qi, whereas the bloody spinning vortex in his Dantian seemed to not care about time.
Still, Zhou Bao got a benefit. After absorbing all of the Dharma powers inside Zhou Bao, the solid ball changed. Wisps of golden lights appeared in the center of the solid ball, and as the solid ball spun, the golden light got brighter and started to spread across the ball. Zhou Bao then felt that the Qi restoration speed of his inner Dharma powers had doubled and was still increasing as the golden lights expanded. When a golden lotus emerged in his Dantian, the Dharma powers that had been drained were fully filled up. Zhou Bao even felt a sense of fullness in his Dantian. The weirdest thing was that the sapling in his Dantian seemed to be stimulated and started shaking. It absorbed a little bit of Dharma power and grew a leaf. And then Zhou Bao felt a strange pneuma seeping from the leaf into the golden lotus.
The originally thumb-sized golden lotus began to inflate swiftly.
At the same time, it flew from Zhou Bao’s Dantian toward his head, just like the Flower of the Body did. And then it was opposite of the Flower of the Body.
It was the Flower of the Qi – one of the Three Flowers.
With the Flower of the Qi having formed, Zhou Bao found that the Dharma powers in his body were ceaselessly running like a river, and no matter how many Dharma powers were consumed, they could be replenished at once.
“Oh god, it’s the Flower of the Qi. It really is incredible! No wonder it is said that people who have gathered the Three Flowers above the Head have a strength totally incomparable to the one of ordinary Human Immortals. With just the Three Flowers, a Three-flowered Human Immortal can beat an ordinary one stupid!”
Qing Feng looked at the huge Flower of the Qi above Zhou Bao’s head with his mouth twitching. The size of Zhou Bao’s Flower of the Body and Flower of the Qi represented their completeness. Most Human Immortal’s Three Flowers started out at the size of a rice grain and were even less likely to release golden lights as his one did. Qing Feng was very depressed.
“There’s still the Flower of the Spirit! When you refine it, the gathering of your Three Flowers above the Head is successful!” Qing Feng said it in a dispirited tone. Watching Zhou Bao gather the Three Flowers really dented his confidence.
