Chapter 122 Nourishing Bones with Spiritual Roots

The vines inside these villagers' bodies can be seen as miraculous objects with powerful healing and restorative effects. No matter how damaged they are, they can heal in a very short time, and even the villagers who are inseparable from them will be resurrected.

This is the truth behind the villagers' resurrection; they lived in symbiosis with these vines and became one with them.

But it's still a long way from being "immortal".

Zhou Qing was quite clear that if these guys could truly cultivate immortality and possess the ability to live forever, they wouldn't still be holed up in a small mountain village.

not to mention.

The game's text descriptions also reveal this truth.

On the battlefield chessboard, Gu Qinghan's pieces are wreaking havoc, while the villager pieces on the other side, torn to pieces, are slowly coming together again.

He casually tapped on the village chief "Gu Changhe's" chess piece, and status lines appeared one by one: Pharmacist Spiritual Root, Status Control, Powerful Healing, Parasitic Coexistence.

The spiritual roots these guys are talking about are real, but they clearly have nothing to do with cultivating immortality.

He had cultivated for so long, and he had only ever heard of cultivators, never of immortal cultivators.

[Medicine Buddha's Spiritual Root: Before attaining enlightenment, Medicine Buddha made twelve great vows, the sixth of which was to have all his faculties complete.]

Free from illness and suffering, all beings lacking faculties and afflicted with physical ailments can be liberated by reciting the name of the Medicine Buddha. This plants the seed of spiritual enlightenment, granting immunity to all diseases and ensuring continuous life.

Every villager in Songziwan has such a status entry, and the level of the entry is not low, so it is not easily affected.

It looks very powerful.

Indeed, it is quite powerful.

If a normal person were to deal with these guys, it would be quite a challenge.

After all, every time a villager was killed and resurrected, Zhou Qing noticed that their chess piece panel would become stronger, either by increasing their maximum health or their basic attributes.

On Gu Qinghan's side, after a long battle, they were exhausted and their attributes were declining.

If the stalemate continues, ordinary cultivators will inevitably lose.

pity.

The villagers of Songziwan did not encounter a person.

With a light tap of her finger, Zhou Qing transferred all the fragments of spiritual roots shattered on the chessboard to Gu Qinghan. These vines were quickly digested by her, and Gu Qinghan's attributes subsequently surged.

"What kind of bullshit spiritual root is this? I wonder if we'll even be able to get full at this buffet."

Outside the boat dock at Songzi Bay.

Gu Changhe stared at the scene before him in disbelief.

When this beautiful woman opened her mouth, even though he had lived most of his life and seen many storms, his mind was in complete turmoil.

After a villager's spiritual root was mostly eaten away, the others immediately rushed to his rescue. After all, they were unsure of the consequences of having their spiritual root eaten or whether it would affect their path to immortality.

However, these few people were no match for the enemy when they rushed up.

Instead, Gu Qinghan chopped her into pieces in no time, and the spiritual roots inside her body were torn to pieces. Without her having to lift a finger, these spiritual roots flew out on their own, detached from her body, and flew towards Gu Qinghan's mouth.

But once the spiritual root planted in the body leaves...

Their flesh and blood, which were constantly healing and regenerating, would instantly lose their vitality, shrink and dry out, becoming like pieces of dried-out old cured meat.

This was the first time Gu Changhe had ever encountered a monster that could devour spiritual roots!

According to that Buddhist and Taoist monk, spiritual roots are the foundation of their livelihood, but for ordinary people, they are a deadly poison.

Anyone else who dares to consume the spiritual root will be killed instantly by its potent poison.

However, the person in front of them was not affected at all. In the blink of an eye, the spiritual roots in the bodies of several villagers had been almost completely devoured.

Gu Changhe dared not linger any longer.

Although he was stronger than these villagers, he wasn't much stronger. He only dared to attack these cultivators because of his immortality.

Now that the villagers who were killed showed no signs of coming back to life, he naturally knew he had run into a tough opponent.

If things are hopeless, it's best to leave first!

He glared at Gu Qinghan, then turned and ran into the boat dock. His hunched and thin body moved with surprising speed.

Gu Qinghan ignored him.

She chewed on the vines and roots, feeling her body desperately craving nutrients, like an insatiable sack that could never be filled, no matter how much she put in, could not fill the chasm of hunger.

at the same time.

This act of devouring spiritual roots brought back some memories from her childhood.

In her memory, a group of Gu family members were constantly searching for various spiritual objects and plants, which she then ate.

These things are strange and bitter, each one looks nauseating, and some even contain wriggling creatures that must be swallowed whole.

This is something Gu Qinghan has had to go through every day since he was a child.

The voices of the Gu family members in the video kept echoing in her ears.

"Han'er, you are the next generation's guardian of the grave. The rise and fall of our Gu family rests entirely on your shoulders."

"Your uncle lost half an arm trying to find this Jade Insect for you. Quickly take it and circulate your internal energy."

"Since the Lord of Coffin Mountain has abandoned us, the Gu family must find another way out. Even without relying on the gods, we can still survive."

One sound after another echoes in my memory.

Gu Qinghan looked at the little girl from his memories, from her initial struggle to her eventual acceptance and numbness—

In a short time.

She suddenly remembered that the reason she had been ingesting foreign objects since childhood was because of a piece of finger bone!

Inside her body was a finger bone that had always been hidden, treasured by the Crying Bone Society and the Gu family.

This tiny finger bone, located on her left rib, was deeply embedded in her heart. It had never moved since it was inserted into her body when she was a child, growing up alongside her heart.

"This is a method used by the Bone-Crying Society, called 'Nourishing Bones'."

She suddenly remembered that Chen Wenlong had also reached into his body's pouch and taken out a bone flute.

Those are the bones he nurtured with his body, and also the secret Taoist methods passed down within the Crying Bones Society.

Gu Qinghan did not touch the finger bone that was stuck in his heart.

Her intuition told her that this thing was probably very dangerous, and that using it could have unpredictable consequences.

My memory is still incomplete.

It's not too late to take it out and study it once we figure out its true purpose.

Gu Qinghan came to her senses and frowned as she looked at the dried and rotten flesh on the ground. The power from the gods had receded, and she had regained control of her body. Naturally, she could not let the village chief of Songzi Bay go.

Spiritual fruit, spiritual root.

There are many things in Songzi Bay that can solve her hunger problem and even help her body to improve further.

Gu Changhe knows a lot, so we should be able to get more information and resources from him. Maybe when we make further progress, we can recall more things and figure out the function of the finger bone on the heart.
