Me and countless me.

Chapter 530 Another Perfect Creature

Under the influence of Li Ke's true energy, the broken heart began to beat continuously, absorbing the surrounding wandering energy to strengthen itself and actively enhancing Murong Guang's body, allowing her to breathe again, digest the food in her body, and prolong her life.

This is the unique feature of Li Ke's Star River Martial Arts, and also the reason why his true energy is too powerful. However, if Murong Guang does not receive any treatment, she will still die.

Fortunately, she was not destined to die!
The next morning, Li Ke, who had been delayed on the road, was sitting cross-legged in front of the carriage. Xiao Yuanshan, who had lost his martial arts skills, was sitting by the carriage, waiting to see his son.

However, feeling the emptiness in his meridians, Xiao Yuanshan felt no hatred, but rather a sense of disorientation, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

So when he looked at the places he had passed through in the past, he couldn't help but thank Li Ke again.

"Thank you for your help, Duke. Ever since my wife died, and I went into hiding in Shaolin to seek revenge, I have felt like I am in the deepest hell every moment, burning with karmic fire, like a demon, and I have done so many stupid things!"

Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh. He didn't understand why, since he hadn't died, he hadn't taken his son Qiao Feng with him, but instead left him with Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, and then spent decades devising various ways to take revenge.

He even considered killing Qiao Feng's adoptive parents and his mentor not long ago, so that Qiao Feng could completely break with the Song Dynasty and then kill the Song people without any qualms.
She had observed her son, Qiao Feng, and found that he possessed a strong sense of justice and heroism. What could she possibly gain from doing those things, other than driving her son to his death?

But at the time, I felt that these things were justified, that I should do them. Only in this way could I let Qiao Feng know the hypocrisy of the people of the Central Plains, and let him know that as long as you kill your parents and master, and are from an enemy country, your previous reputation and friends will all stand against you and no longer regard you as a hero.

But at the time, I didn't think about whether I could still be called a righteous and heroic person if I actually did these things.

What else can one do besides destroy everything one's child cherishes?

After all, given his child's temperament, even if he told him directly that he was a Khitan, the other party would absolutely not slaughter the Khitan people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"To think that my illustrious reputation, Xiao Yuanshan, would be ruined by a schemer, and to make matters worse, I'm just not up to par... Alas..."

Xiao Yuanshan sighed helplessly, while Li Ke chuckled.

"Martial arts and internal energy have certain biases. Since martial arts can produce various effects and have various impacts on the body when they are in use, it is normal for them to affect a person's internal organs and change their personality. So if you learn Shaolin Temple kung fu but do not live according to the lifestyle of Shaolin Temple monks, problems will naturally arise."

It's strange in the original novel that Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo secretly learned martial arts in Shaolin Temple, and then they practiced themselves to become more and more like demons, and even suffered hidden injuries.

The sweeping monk said that this was because the two of them had learned Buddhist martial arts but had not used Buddhist scriptures to resolve the resentment in their hearts. However, Li Ke could see clearly that it was simply because the two of them had not mastered the martial arts they had secretly learned.

Eighty percent of the people who created Shaolin martial arts were monks. Monks' lifestyles are naturally different from those of ordinary people, and people with different bodies cannot be trained in the same way. This is especially true in a world with various internal energy cultivation methods.

The meridians and physical structure of a person who sits cross-legged in meditation and chanting scriptures for a long time are bound to be different from those of a person who frequently goes into battle.

The monks' lifestyle and mental cultivation methods can effectively address the issues with Shaolin martial arts, but Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan's internal energy cultivation and lifestyle are inevitably different from those of the Shaolin monks.

So it's like using a flathead screwdriver to tighten a Phillips head screw. It may work fine for a short time, but it will inevitably cause problems over time.

Xiao Yuanshan nodded. Although he had studied when he was young, he didn't understand much else. So, he could only rely on his own experience to deduce what Li Ke said, and found that it was indeed correct.

"So, young master thinks that my increasingly extreme personality is due to practicing Shaolin martial arts?"

Li Ke directly affirmed this.

"Yes, because Shaolin internal energy is relatively mild, when those high monks created martial arts, in order to pursue power, they had to create moves that could stimulate ferocity more than other moves, otherwise they would be interfered with by their own internal energy and become mediocre."

At this point, he cracked his whip to make the carriage run faster before speaking.

"Therefore, Shaolin monks who mainly cultivate martial arts and external skills, if their internal strength is not outstanding, will inevitably be hot-tempered and have a stubborn personality. Conversely, Shaolin monks with profound internal strength are generally kind and weak-willed. Although they may not be kind, their personality is definitely weak. Of course, this is just one opinion. After all, people are different. Some people's personalities cannot be affected even by internal strength, but since you were so eager for revenge, you naturally fell for it."

Li Ke comforted Xiao Yuanshan. Normally, he wouldn't waste words with such a guy, but after all, Xiao Yuanshan was Qiao Feng's father. He wanted Qiao Feng to be his general, so he naturally had to be polite to the father. Moreover, Xiao Yuanshan had some old acquaintances in Liao, and he could make good use of him to recruit Liao soldiers when he raised an army in the future.

Just as he was thinking this, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"How come I can feel my true energy here?"

Looking at the grove of trees by the roadside, Li Ke vaguely sensed his true energy pulsating near the roadside, so he immediately realized that Murong Bo had come again.

Li Ke immediately felt that Murong Bo was courting death, because he had changed his route at the last minute to capture him, but Murong Bo had chosen his own death, so he would not be polite.

"I'm just looking for trouble with you, and here you are! Come out, Murong Bo! Let me see who you've found to give you the confidence to appear before me again!"

He shouted loudly, but there was no response. All he could hear was a gradually fading breathing sound and the smell of blood.

So he immediately got up and leaped into the depths of the forest, where he found the dying Murong Guang amidst a pile of fallen leaves!
At this moment, Murong Guang's eyes were full of blood, and her breath was gradually becoming extremely weak. When Li Ke landed and checked her, he found that her body was cold, her face was swollen, her mouth and nose were full of blood, and there was pus and blood coming out of her eye sockets!

Clearly, Murong Guang was on the verge of death at this moment. Even if she were in a modern hospital, it wouldn't make much difference, because her brain was already showing severe inflammation and ischemia, and she could no longer control her body's various systems!

His internal energy was merely sustaining Murong Guang's last vestiges of life, keeping her alive only. Given the current state of affairs in this world, even if Li Ke used his internal energy to save her, he would only end up with a mentally challenged person. "What's going on? There are no signs of a fight on her body, yet she's showing signs of the Five Signs of Decay, as if all her vital energy has been drained away… Don't tell me I'm about to see the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Looking at Murong Guang's face, which resembled a demon, Li Ke wanted him to die there. However, feeling the warmth and kindness he felt, Li Ke picked up Murong Guang and sped towards the carriage!

The moment he stepped into the carriage, Li Ke reached out his hand to A Zi.

"Azi! Bring me the mask and the Divine Wood Cauldron! I need it to save someone! Don't worry, I won't let her eat you."

Yes, now there is only one way to keep Murong Guang alive and well: use the iron mask and the Divine Wood Cauldron cultivated by Ding Chunqiu to turn Murong Guang into an immortal, and then have Li Ke perform the procedure, using his own true energy and life essence as a catalyst to temporarily create an internal energy that will allow Murong Guang to return to human form from his immortal state!
The moment Li Ke placed Murong Guang on the carriage, he had already figured out this mental cultivation method, so now all that was left were A Zi's Divine Wood King Cauldron and the mask.

"what?"

Azi was stunned when she heard this. Although she was worried that the half-dead guy would eat her and try to poison the woman after being resurrected by the iron mask, Azhu glared at her and made Azi obediently take out the iron mask and the Divine Wood King Cauldron from her bag.

Li Ke took the Divine Wood King Cauldron and the Iron Mask, his fingers flashing with multicolored sword light. Amid the gasps of the women, he suddenly slashed his wrist, splattering blood onto the Iron Mask!
The instant his blood splattered onto the iron mask, the eyes of the mask suddenly shone brightly, and sharp teeth abruptly sprouted from the corners of its mouth! A sharp blade also naturally popped out from inside the mask.

Seeing that everything was over, Li Ke immediately pressed the mask onto Murong Guang's face!
The substance inside the mask was instantly injected into Murong Guang's brain, rapidly transforming her body. The strange substance began to spread throughout her body, turning her into something else entirely.

But Li Ke did not stop. He filled the Divine Wood King Cauldron with his own blood, then placed one palm on Murong Guang's heart, and with the other hand he activated the flames, adding blood with the true energy of the Star River Martial Scripture to change its properties, refining it into the purest life substance.

But just as he was about to use Murong Guang's heart, which was being repaired, to allow the other party to obtain the internal energy he had modified through the ripples, he couldn't help but frown, then let go of his hand, pushed away the obstruction, and then pressed it back onto Murong Guang's chest.

Azi glanced at her chest, then grabbed it like she was grabbing a bun. She then looked at her sister, rolled her eyes in exasperation, and muttered a speechless complaint.

"They were born to the same parents..."

But the instant she spoke, she saw Murong Guang's already voluptuous and beautiful body begin to change as if inflating a balloon, becoming even more voluptuous and alluring! She became even more beautiful!
Originally, Murong Guang's body wasn't perfect, but after being modified by this iron mask, her body can now be described as flawless!

Azi's eyes widened as if they were the perfect pie in the sky, as round as a perfect circle in theory. Holding her steamed bun in one hand and pointing at Murong Guang's chest with the other, she couldn't help but speak.

"Is this...is this reasonable?!"

She didn't know if it was reasonable or not, but suddenly a pair of brand new eyes appeared in Murong Guang's originally empty eyes, and then he opened them abruptly.

Almost instinctively, she ripped off her mask and bit into Li Ke's slashed arm, because she smelled something incredibly enticing! Something delicious!

At this moment, Murong Guang was as hungry as a ravenous wolf. He grabbed Li Ke's wrist and greedily sucked Li Ke's blood. The moment the blood entered his mouth, Murong Guang felt that there was nothing more enjoyable or delicious in the world, so he became even more greedy.

When the sunlight shone through the gaps in the carriage, her flesh and blood began to dissipate rapidly like spring snow. But when she was in a place without sunlight, countless buds of flesh began to grow, making up for the parts she had lost!

Li Ke did not stop Murong Guang, but continued to press on her chest and use his internal energy to adjust her breathing and her energy circulation.

Thus, thanks to the restoration of her body's nutrition and the internal energy specially provided by Li Ke, Murong Guang, who was immersed in Li Ke's blood, finally regained her senses. And the moment she realized that she was sucking human blood, she almost instinctively pushed away Li Ke's arm, looking in horror at her arm scorched by the sun and the rapidly healing granulation tissue!

But as she got closer to Azi, she felt that Azi smelled so good and attracted her so much that she wanted to cut Azi open, suck her blood, eat every hair and piece of flesh, and even gnaw on her bones!

"Have I...have I turned into a ghost?! Quick, Young Master Li, kill me! I don't want to eat you anymore!"

Upon realizing this, Murong Guang shed tears.

Upon hearing this, Li Ke handed over a potion made with his own blood.

"Just drink it and you'll feel better."

Murong Guang hesitated for a moment, but Li Ke simply smiled at her.

"Keep breathing as you are now, and trust me."

So, Murong Guang gritted his teeth, picked up the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and drank the potion that Li Ke had refined in one gulp!

The moment the potion entered her mouth, she felt a ray of sunlight wash over her entire body. The sunlight no longer burned her, but instead gave her a warm feeling. Moreover, her body was many times stronger than before!
Not only that! The moment she put down the Divine Wood King Cauldron and unconsciously pressed her hand against the sachet on her body, the seeds inside the sachet suddenly began to sprout, bursting open the sachet and growing countless branches and blossoms in the carriage!
Moreover, she seems to be able to understand the sounds of nature and animals around her!

Moreover, whether it was A'Zhu, A'Zi, Xiao Yuanshan, or Wang Yuyan, they all sensed a kind of intimidation from Murong Guang! A kind of intimidation that the other party's life was superior and more powerful than their own!
"This...this...have I become an immortal?!"

She was utterly astonished, while Azi quietly put away the iron mask and the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and looked at Murong Guang with amazement.

At this moment, the other person is exactly the woman of her dreams!

So she also wanted to use this mask to make herself both beautiful and powerful!

But she was reluctant to use Li Ke's blood, and she didn't understand what Li Ke had done, so she rolled her eyes and decided to find a few unlucky people to study in secret!
