Chapter 268: Chapter 135 Terrifying Taotie Lin Xuankong, Gathering at the Burial Grounds_2
If it weren’t for the fear of angering the Third Princess, and knowing that she couldn’t win, Qiing would have slapped Lin Xuankong to death by now!
While everyone was lost in thought, Lin Xuankong reached into his robes. Instantly, a gigantic, black-patterned serpent, over ten feet thick and more than three hundred feet long, suddenly materialized and landed on the ground. Soon after, this Tier Six Marsh Python raised its head, bringing it close to the airborne Lin Xuankong and Xiaoo Ying’Er.
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er was somewhat puzzled to see Lin Xuankong suddenly summon a Tier Six Marsh Python Demon. However, before she could ask, the surrounding air currents began to swirl violently. In the blink of an eye, a gale emerged, sweeping for several miles. Then, Xiaoo Ying’Er saw the colorful Poisonous Fog within a range of several miles in front of them get sucked into the mouth of the black-patterned serpent, like smoke drawn by a tornado!
In just three or four seconds, all the Poisonous Fog had gathered into the giant serpent’s mouth. The area several miles in front of them cleared up, and the black-patterned giant serpent disappeared in an instant.
Lin Xuankong said, "The Poisonous Fog around us has been cleared. We can travel quickly now!"
The next moment, the Tier Seven Corpse Scorpion beneath his feet was already carrying him and Xiaoo Ying’Er swiftly forward. Seeing this, Xiaoo Ying’Er quickly urged her Demon Sparrow to carry Hua Yanluo and the others, following closely behind.
When they reached an area several miles away where the Poisonous Fog was dense, Lin Xuankong summoned the giant serpent again to suck it in, and then they continued moving swiftly.
After this was repeated several times, Xiaoo Ying’Er couldn’t help but curl her lips. "Mr. Mu, this method of summoning the Marsh Python to absorb the Poisonous Fog is quite good!"
Lin Xuankong replied, "It’s the only way. Otherwise, slowly avoiding the Poisonous Fog would take us two days to reach the center of the Secret Realm!"
Xiaoo Ying’Er pondered for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly. "However, frequently summoning the Marsh Python consumes an extreme amount of True Qi! Even though you’re a Tier Six Cultivator, you can probably only sustain it a dozen times. After advancing tens of miles, you’ll likely need to stop and replenish your True Qi. Why not let us handle summoning the Marsh Python?"
Lin Xuankong shook his head. He took out a large pile of Demon Flesh from the Ghost Frog Pouch, placed it on the back of the Corpse Scorpion, and continuously used lightning to roast it until it was intensely fragrant. "With the large amount of Demon Flesh Ying’Er gave me, it’s enough for me to replenish my True Qi while we travel!"
After saying this, he picked up some Demon Flesh, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
Nearby, Hua Yanluo, Qiing, and the others couldn’t help but shake their heads slightly. Xiaoo Ying’Er furrowed her brows and said, "Using Demon Flesh to replenish True Qi requires digestion first, transforming it into Qi Blood. Then, the Sunflower Water Vein and Wood Vein are used to condense it into True Qi! Summoning the Marsh Python so frequently consumes a great deal of True Qi. Just roasting Demon Flesh won’t replenish it in time!"
Lin Xuankong heard this but only smiled without saying a word, continuing to eat the Demon Flesh.
After the time it takes for a cup of tea, Xiaoo Ying’Er, who had been frowning, began to show a hint of surprise in her bright eyes.
Along the way, Mr. Mu has summoned the Marsh Python dozens of times, yet he shows no signs of his True Qi running out? The most surprising thing is that Mr. Mu has already eaten at least a thousand pounds of Demon Flesh, and his stomach hasn’t bulged even a bit?
Hua Yanluo, on the nearby Demon Sparrow, also showed a look of astonishment. After frowning for a moment, she couldn’t help but speak: "I’ve heard there’s a Medium-sized Sect in Nanyuan Prefecture called the Profound Glutton Sect. Its Sect Master is a Tier Seven powerhouse! It’s said that among the many Secret Techniques of the Profound Glutton Sect, there’s a Supporting Cultivation Technique called the Blood Eating Secret Technique. This technique allows Martial Cultivators to greatly increase their food intake and quickly replenish Qi Blood and True Qi! With Mr. Mu’s huge appetite, could it be that he’s using the Blood Eating Technique?"
Lin Xuankong, who was continuously devouring Demon Flesh to replenish his True Qi, nodded and said, "Elder Hua is indeed knowledgeable. What I’m using is indeed the Blood Eating Secret Technique, but it wasn’t learned from the Profound Glutton Sect; I learned it from someone else."
The doubt in Hua Yanluo’s eyes became even more pronounced. "However, I’ve heard that the Blood Eating Secret Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even the Sect Master of the Profound Glutton Sect has only cultivated it to the Late Stage of the Realm of Integration, able to consume only a few hundred pounds of Demon Flesh at once! Yet you just ate at least a thousand pounds..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong merely shook his head slightly without explaining, continuing to devour the Demon Flesh.
Nearly an hour later, the onlookers watching Lin Xuankong eat Demon Flesh were all dumbfounded. Even Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er had her mouth slightly agape, her eyes filled with astonishment.
"Probably five thousand pounds already!" The maidservant Qiing couldn’t help but exclaim. "Mr. Mu’s appetite... My goodness, even the Taotie Demon of ancient legend would be like this!"
After saying this, she shook her head repeatedly. If the Third Princess really ends up with this guy, even with the abundant resources in the Princess’s Mansion, it wouldn’t be enough to support such eating! Third Princess, oh Third Princess, please don’t get involved with him! This guy is simply a bottomless pit, a real Taotie monster!
After her astonishment, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared in Xiaoo Ying’Er’s eyes.
I’m extremely sensitive to True Qi, but from the moment ’Mu Shiba’ started devouring Demon Flesh until now, I haven’t sensed even the slightest bit of True Qi leaking from him! This situation is very wrong! For a normal Martial Cultivator, forget consuming five thousand pounds of Demon Flesh; even consuming a hundred pounds would produce more Qi Blood and True Qi than their Dantian, Sunflower Water Vein, and Wood Vein could contain. Five thousand pounds of Demon Flesh... it’s absolutely impossible for a normal Martial Cultivator’s veins to hold that much!
