Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 26 Danger
As Shi Qingyun slowly approached the center step by step, he also felt something unusual.

Strands of golden substance, like twinkling stars, were pulled away from his body.

At this moment, Shi Qingyun was like a brush dipped in ink that fell into clear water. As he walked, more and more golden substance was forced to overflow from his body.

When the golden substances were first withdrawn from Shi Qingyun's body, he did not feel any discomfort.

I didn’t think this was a bad thing. After all, the divine essence I saw at the entrance just now was so rich and fragrant.

At this moment, all he could see was the pool of blood filled with the essence of life, and a golden light film appeared in his eyes.

But as Shi Qingyun got closer to the center, he felt his body become weaker and powerless, and a mysterious sense of crisis enveloped Shi Qingyun.

Shi Qingyun woke up instantly, and only then he realized that more and more golden substances were being extracted from his body. At this moment, he was a golden man shining with golden light.

Shi Qingyun was startled. Could it be that these things would confuse the senses? He quickly moved his qi and blood, and circulated a trace of yin and yang true meaning in his eyes, and the light film was shattered in an instant.

Was my eyes blinded by the colorful mist just now? I actually let my guard down in such a dangerous place.

Shi Qingyun had no other choice now and could only try his best to mobilize his qi and blood. The qi and blood were rushing in his blood vessels, but Shi Qingyun could feel a sense of stagnation.

He suddenly realized that the golden substances that were extracted were the essence of the divine light in his blood and qi! Shi Qingyun was furious. He was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

Shi Qingyun accelerated the circulation of qi and blood in his body, and all of a sudden, a transparent barrier that looked like gold and jade appeared in front of Shi Qingyun.

As soon as the barrier appeared, the amount of golden substance flowing out of Shi Qingyun's body gradually decreased.

The situation finally improved, but Shi Qingyun felt that his blood and energy were still being lost. He clearly felt that the divine essence in his blood and energy was becoming weaker.

Moreover, the direction of the extracted life essence was reflected in Shi Qingyun's eyes.

Beside Shi Qingyun, rivers composed of the essence of life were floating in the air and flowing past him. Shi Qingyun was standing in the middle of the golden river at the moment, but was unable to absorb even a bit of it.

This immediately dispelled Shi Qingyun's idea of moving forward by absorbing energy from the golden river.

Shi Qingyun could only grit his teeth and move forward. As time slowly passed, Shi Qingyun's blood, energy, and divine light were also lost, and the rune fragments flowing through the meridians in Shi Qingyun's body were also becoming dim.

Shi Qingyun's condition became extremely bad, and there was not much blood left on his face. His black and flowing hair also gradually became dry, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

The originally rosy face turned pale and colorless at this moment. The situation was extremely critical, as if Shi Qingyun would die in the next moment if he was not careful.

He quickly took out precious medicinal herbs from his storage bag to replenish his blood and energy, but as soon as those precious medicinal herbs were taken out, the energy in them was also drawn out.

Faced with such a situation, Shi Qingyun still took firm steps forward. Shi Qingyun understood that his best option at this moment was to turn around and leave. With the energy and blood he had left at this moment, he could barely perform the Eight Direction Steps to escape from here.

But Shi Qingyun didn't do that, because doing so might make his heart of Taoism dusty. He was thinking of retreating at the slightest danger. He was not sure if he would have the courage to face a similar situation next time. He could only keep moving forward. If he stopped, he might not have the courage and strength to move again.

In this underground cave, sunlight cannot shine. Only the green filamentous substances that remain in the cracks of the stone walls are emitting a faint glow, and the light emitted from them illuminates the darkness underground.

Shi Qingyun's footsteps were very heavy, and every step felt like stepping on Shi Qingyun's heartbeat.

In this quiet and empty space, one can clearly hear Shi Qingyun's heavy breathing and the sound of his footsteps hitting the ground.

The protective barrier in front of Shi Qingyun had already shrunk onto Shi Qingyun's body surface, tightly sticking to Shi Qingyun's flesh, and the light originally emitted from it also became dim.

The golden divine light that was extracted from Shi Qingyun was slowly stained with a hint of blood red.

From the beginning of extracting the qi, blood and divine light, he now began to extract the origin of life. Wisps of blood-red light floated out from Shi Qingyun's body like silk threads.

But now Shi Qingyun had no way to stop it. Since he had already made up his mind to move forward, he could not retreat.

Shi Qingyun's dry, cracked, bloodless lips were tightly closed together, and his dry yellow hair was stained with his sweat, hanging in clumps on his face.

However, his gaze was still as firm as at the beginning, and although his steps were not fast, they were still as firm as before.

In his hand was a piece of precious medicine that had changed color. When his hand loosened slightly, the grayish-white precious medicine turned from his fingertips into dust and fell to the ground.

The precious medicines he had looted and those he had found from the people in the Taikoo Divine Mountain had all been used up.

He was able to walk here thanks to the help of those spiritual objects and precious medicines, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago. Fortunately, Shi Qingyun could already sense the rich divine essence ahead.

He took out the storage bag from his waist and loosened the rope tied to it. Streams of blood-red liquid flowed out of it, and Shi Qingyun had no time to absorb them.

He could only open his mouth and swallow the blood-red liquid into his stomach. As soon as the liquid entered his throat, Shi Qingyun felt an extremely hot sensation.

It was as if what he swallowed into his mouth was not some precious liquid, but instead a piece of burning charcoal.

Wherever the liquid passed, Shi Qingyun's organs could be clearly seen, and waves of extremely painful hot sensations came over him.

Fortunately, the life energy released when the liquid entered the stomach made up for the life substances that were extracted from Shi Qingyun.

Shi Qingyun could only endure the pain and continue swallowing the blood-red liquid into his mouth.

He knew that as soon as he stopped, death would be waiting for him.
