Chapter 3047 Four-tenths
"Why does this sword, like those men who get scolded in brothels, soften after a couple of blows?"

Huo Qubing used his sword to cut two sections of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, but he felt that the sword was getting duller and duller with use, and eventually he couldn't even cut through the skin.

Touching the blade, Huo Qubing felt that the once hard sword had become limp.

Having frequented brothels, he quickly found the description, which made Zhang Xuezhou, who was about to swallow the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, feel discomfort in his throat.

"Master, are you hungry too?"

When Huo Qubing sheathed the crooked Chixiao sword, Zhang Xuezhou stopped studying the sword and instead focused on the messily cut Lingsi Jade Lotus Root.

After a quick rinse, Zhang Xuezhou began to swallow with a frown.

It was so delicious that even someone as undemanding as him would frown; the taste was beyond description.

Zhang Xuezhou did not respond to Huo Qubing, but instead continued to push the Bigu Technique into operation, attempting to use its powerful digestive ability to squeeze out all the benefits of the Ling Si Yu Ou.

Compared to the spirit silk lotus root he had consumed in the past, this old lotus root was not sticky, and Zhang Xuezhou did not need to drink a lot of water when consuming it.

In his perception, fine lotus root threads continuously pierced into various parts of his body, constantly pulling at the heavy, iron-like acupoints, as if trying to lift them up.

"Li Shaojun said that the spirit silk is a material for making shoes and can help people fly. It seems that the power of the lock-yang in my body was not diminished by the spirit silk and jade lotus root, but rather that the opposing factors were 'pulled' together, thus allowing my magic power and demon power to flow smoothly!"

The Ling Si Yu Lotus Root, which was consumed at the place where Suo Yang grew in Duan Hun Ridge, was very tender and fresh. Zhang Xuezhou's digestive ability was extremely fast, and he was able to free his body's magic power without even feeling anything.

At this moment, the old lotus root he had swallowed was extremely difficult to digest. Only when Zhang Xuezhou kept pushing it could he perceive the subtle details and roughly figure out why the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root was effective, and why the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root he had swallowed whole before had not worked.

If I'm not mistaken, this method of breaking the magical seal requires pulling out threads before it can take effect.

"Receding and pulling are two different things. If the power locked in my body completely disappears due to the union of yin and yang, the Ling Si Yu Ou might have a negative effect. Only by maintaining balance... There's so much Suo Yang. If the effect of Ling Si Yu Ou overflows, I'll just swallow more Suo Yang to balance it out."

Zhang Xuezhou pondered the balance within his body, but ultimately felt there was nothing to consider.

There was too little Ling Si Yu Ou and too much Suo Yang, which was a disproportionate amount. Zhang Xuezhou wasn't afraid of taking too much at all.

"Master, can eating lotus root make you fly?"

Only when Huo Qubing's voice came did Zhang Xuezhou stop sensing his body.

He looked at Huo Qubing's incredulous and horrified face, and then at the other's feet that were off the ground.

Before Zhang Xuezhou could even overdose on the Ling Si Yu Lotus Root, others who had overdosed had already appeared, and the consequences were already unfolding before their eyes.

Huo Qubing's body had no yang-locking power to pull him apart; the Ling Si Yu Ou had already performed its normal function.

"How did you manage to eat that?" Zhang Xuezhou asked, glancing at it.

"This lotus root is like a rotten piece of cloth, no matter how you chew it, you can't chew it properly. I just forced it down like you did!"

Huo Qubing looked at the lotus root covered with white fibers in his hand and felt that it was too old and unusable.

He would never have eaten if Zhang Xuezhou hadn't eaten it.

But after eating it, Huo Qubing felt that his body was undergoing changes that frightened him.

He longed to fly, but Huo Qubing also hoped that he could stand firmly on the ground.

Right now, he kept stretching his toes wildly, but no matter how much he kicked, he couldn't touch the ground. Huo Qubing dared to continue eating lotus root with Zhang Xuezhou.

"Then you're doomed. You'll turn into a kite and fly away with the wind. Young Master Wei won't be able to catch you!"

Zhang Xuezhou's threatening remark startled the child, and it actually made Huo Qubing's face turn pale. "You're lucky. I put some antidote with Old Zheng. He's not interested in researching it lately, so you should be able to balance your body after taking a couple of bites!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, signaling Huo Qubing not to eat indiscriminately; this was medicine for a patient, not ordinary food.

"Wind...I become a kite and fly..."

Upon learning that his body could return to normal, Huo Qubing went from being frightened to overjoyed, and began to run around the mansion with his feet off the ground.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't bother with the other party; he wasn't going to care about the piece or two that Huo Qubing had swallowed.

If Huo Qubing hadn't used the Crimson Sky Sword, it's unknown how long it would have taken him to recover his physical strength and magical powers.

Her gaze swept across the night sky; it was clear that Yi Shuo was once again detained in Changxin Palace due to her duties.

Although the residence is very close to the palace, with the Empress Dowager recently beaten and her health suffering from the drawbacks of her cultivation, it is unlikely that Yi Shuo will be able to escape from Changxin Palace.

If his body could break free from the drawbacks of the sealed magic, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his marriage to Yi Shuo would last longer.

He kept forcing pieces of spirit silk jade lotus root into his mouth—long ones, short ones, slices, semi-circles, and square ones—while his body began to activate his physical body techniques to adapt.

The magic power within his body was constantly being stretched and released, giving him freedom.

Zhang Xuezhou felt his magical power, which was only one or two percent of what he could vaguely use, was constantly recovering and increasing, while his demonic power was also constantly emerging.

"One section of the spirit lotus root recovered 20% of its magical power, two sections recovered 40%, and there's still one section that wasn't cut open!"

Compared to his magical power in the Divine Power Realm, Zhang Xuezhou's magical power in the Sovereign Realm increased by nearly tenfold, and this was accompanied by a near-synchronous increase in demonic power.

This involves not only the quantity of magical and demonic power, but also its quality.

In the past, a piece of spiritual lotus root could relieve physical ailments; now, a piece of old lotus root can relieve 20% of them.

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't entirely sure if this was due to differences in their cultivation levels, or if the lotus root from the Western Sect was somewhat special. After all, this time he had only swallowed lotus root fibers and threads, not the lotus root glue that had almost completely stuck to his mouth before.

But his magical and demonic powers have finally returned.

Having long been accustomed to using 20% ​​of his magical power, Zhang Xuezhou was even more at ease when using 40% of his magical power. The replenishment of demonic power made him almost indistinguishable from a normal cultivator of the Yin-Yang School.

"Once Xiao Huo can use the Crimson Sky Sword again, I'll cut off another section of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root. After consuming it, I'll likely have 60% of my power. If Yi Shuo heals me about twenty more times, I might achieve a balance in my body!"

Zhang Xuezhou was delighted to see the hope of gaining freedom of body and magic. This hope was so likely to come true that he truly felt free.

But the thought of the potential for his body to float and lack grip after his balance was broken made Zhang Xuezhou feel that his sexual pleasures were now limited; he couldn't get into bed without taking a couple of doses of Cistanche deserticola.

Moreover, there is a difference between the power of the Locking Yang being neutralized and being pulled apart. If he could achieve this, he would obviously prefer the former.

Regardless of what happened, the normal operation of the power brought Zhang Xuezhou a sense of relief.

He reached out and grabbed, and deep purple magic power instantly flowed over his body like water, constantly washing over him and causing his body's magic power to circulate continuously.

Even if this is only 40% of the mana he is using in the Solitary Realm, it is still stronger than him using all his mana in the Divine Power Realm.

The magic power not only provides the ability to cast spells, but also allows Zhang Xuezhou to continuously cultivate his magical arts.

He needs to restore not only his past magical techniques, but also to promote a second supernatural transformation.

If all the techniques are combined well, Zhang Xuezhou will not only be able to defeat Donghua, but also save his own life.
