Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 42 Jade Bottle Fruit Juice
The monsters have been defeated, and it's time to look at the loot.

Zhao Yifu was quite excited.

After all, that shiny thing looks very extraordinary.

However, when Liang Zhongzhi opened his hands to reveal what was inside, he was a little confused.

This is a white jade wine jar, with spiritual charm flashing all over it. It is obviously an excellent spiritual object at first glance.

Liang Zhongzhi asked, "Jun Xin, do you know why this Immortal Lake got its name?"

Zhao Yifu pondered for a moment and said, "Legend has it that in ancient times, an immortal ascended to heaven here. The people around saw him ascend, so they renamed the lake Immortal Lake."

Liang Zhongzhi said, "You can remove the word 'legend'. There really was an immortal who ascended here. This is clearly recorded in our Danqing Sect's 'Chronicle of Major Events'."

"That immortal, known as True Man Bixu, attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven in this lake. He also left behind an immortal palace at the bottom of the lake for those destined to find him."

Zhao Yifu became excited after hearing this, as he felt that the plot sounded familiar.

He asked, "Have you found the Immortal Palace?"

Liang Zhongzhi smiled and said, "Why, do you want to try your luck?"

Zhao Yifu nodded repeatedly.

Liang Zhongzhi laughed heartily and said, "How could it be your turn to come here? A hundred years after that True Man Bixu ascended to heaven, a great battle took place here, expanding the Immortal Lake, which was originally only the size of a palm, to the size of the current eight hundred li of water."

"Think about it, is there anything left in that Immortal Palace?"

Zhao Yifu was shocked when he heard this, thinking that there must be nothing left.

Come to think of it, if it was really a good thing, someone would have already fought for it, so it was not his turn to try his luck.

Therefore, practicing cultivation is becoming more and more difficult, and opportunities are becoming fewer and fewer.

Liang Zhongzhi shook the jade cup in his hand and said, "But there are still many good things scattered in the lake, and occasionally they will be picked up by some lucky guys."

"The rat demon must have picked up or perhaps obtained this jade jar from a victim, but was restricted by the jar's restrictions and unable to access the nectar within. That's why he became so daring that he wanted to use a human blood sacrifice to break the restriction."

This great scholar Liang was still not satisfied. Seeing Zhao Yifu's confused look, he continued to explain in a gentle and polite manner: "Don't underestimate the blood sacrifice and think that it is a crude method."

"In fact, in ancient times, before humans began cultivating spiritual cultivation, blood sacrifice was the most popular method. This was because blood sacrifice was the easiest way for humans to master magical powers, and it could be said to be the foundation of ancient witchcraft."

"Today, the once respected tribal wizards have disappeared, but the blood sacrifice method is widely spread among various demons."

Zhao Yifu listened very carefully because these were all things that interested him.

Liang Zhongzhi was also a good teacher. Seeing that Zhao Yifu was listening attentively, he said more and explained various methods of removing restrictions. He then demonstrated with the jade bottle...

Well, I just untied the restriction on the jade jar.

My goodness, Zhao Yifu made people even more confused.

If he remembered correctly, this thing was the restriction that the rat demon had failed to break even after sacrificing dozens of lives and blood, right?

How come it was untied with just a few clicks when it fell into Liang Daru's hands?

His awe for Liang Zhongzhi was rekindled.

It turns out that this person is only weak when it comes to fighting, but he is very good at other things in his daily life.

Liang Zhongzhi looked at the untied jade cup in his hand, sniffed it and said with some disdain: "It's just fruit juice, I thought it was some kind of fine wine."

"You drink it."

Zhao Yifu quickly declined, "That's not good. Please drink it, sir."

Liang Zhongzhi said nonchalantly, "I have always drunk wine, not fruit juice, which is something only women and children drink. You are still a child, drink it."

Zhao Yifu scratched his head. Then he looked down at his own muscular body and wondered, "How can there be such a big child?"

But he was not stubborn. Even if the fruit juice that had been sealed by the jade jar for thousands of years had gone bad, he had to drink it up without saying a word... This must be a good thing!
This is a good thing that the rat demon is willing to sacrifice dozens of lives to get.

Without saying a word, he took the Yu Zun and drank it in two big gulps.

After finishing, he smacked his lips, feeling that something tasted a little off.

Why does it seem like I can’t taste anything?
Forget about the taste. The liquid just rolled in his throat and then disappeared without entering his stomach at all.

At this time, Liang Zhongzhi asked curiously: "How is it? What are the effects?"

Zhao Yifu was bewildered after hearing this and said, "It seems to have no effect?"

Liang Zhongzhi said with a smile: "How is that possible? Back then, that True Man Bixu was best at brewing wine and refining elixirs. His Immortal Mansion was full of treasures with different functions. You should experience it carefully."

Zhao Yifu quickly circulated his Qi... Then his expression changed and he said, "It seems that controlling the Qi has become easier."

"Also, my hearing seems to have improved a lot..."

"Not only that, my eyesight and sense of smell have also improved a lot."

The more he spoke, the more shocked he became. At this moment, in his senses, the lake water around the island gradually began to roar like waves.

In that room, the stench from the pleasure boat on the water was overwhelming him, making it unbearable.

He could also see very far away, and could even see the laborers on the dock on the opposite bank clearly.

Seeing that he was a little dazed, Liang Zhongzhi asked, "Anything else?"

Zhao Yifu seemed startled and asked, "Sir, why are you speaking so loudly?"

Liang Zhongzhi paused for a moment and said, "It seems to be the effect of the enhancement of the five senses and the soul, which is quite good."

Only then did Zhao Yifu understand what kind of benefits he had gained, but his head was like a mess at this time, and all kinds of information were amplified and transmitted to him, making him very disturbed.

Liang Zhongzhi continued, "Strengthening your five senses means you can receive more information, which requires a stronger soul to support it. So, the function of this cup of fruit juice is to strengthen your five senses as the main one and your soul as the auxiliary one."

Zhao Yifu was so uncomfortable that he had no time to answer.

Liang Zhongzhi smiled and shook his head: "Well, you are not used to it yet. When you get used to it, you will understand the wonderfulness."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, because blood and energy suddenly surged in Zhao Yifu's body and under his skin, and his strong body suddenly expanded by two sizes.

Liang Zhongzhi swallowed hard because he was stunned by the exaggerated chest muscles that suddenly popped up in front of him.

What a majestic body.

Zhao Yifu, on the other hand, was clearly relieved in this state. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, I think I'm adapting."

The accelerated surging blood and energy not only enhances his basic physical values, but also helps him dissolve the medicinal properties of the magical fruit juice in the jade jar.

Although he didn't have any special feelings, the increasingly controlled state of his blood and energy clearly reflected the strengthening of his spirit.

However, the disadvantage of this state is also obvious, that is, it is easy to get hungry.

He soon felt an unbearable hunger, and then his body returned to its normal size as if it had lost air.

"Sir, can we go back now?"

Liang Zhongzhi nodded slightly, but his gaze towards Zhao Yifu became complicated again.

He discovered that Zhao Yifu's talent as a martial artist seemed to surpass that of a normal cultivator, at least someone who could cultivate the magical power of Danqing...
