Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 498 Dual Cultivation in the Furnace for the Great Elixir

The natural universe is a macrocosm, and the human body is a microcosm.

The collision between the vast universes is magnificent and awe-inspiring.

The collision between the microcosms of the human body is also passionate and overflowing with enthusiasm.

After obtaining her eighth spirit ring, Xiao Wu acquired two spirit skills. One of them, called Spatial Furnace, can use her internal organs as a furnace to refine all things in the world into elixirs.

At this moment, she was conducting a scientific experiment with Tang San in a peculiar way: the tempering and interaction of human body's cosmic blood, soul power, and spiritual power.

Through the close connection between the two human universes, Xiao Wu uses her eighth soul skill: Spatial Furnace, to temper and combine her essence, energy, and spirit through the exchange of information between the two.

The two were also immersed in it, feeling the joy of the collision of material entities between universes, the surging of the fusion of primordial spirits, and the warmth of the interaction of essence, energy, and spirit.

Their movements seemed to follow the great principles of nature and the universe: sometimes like an old man pushing a cart, growing stronger with time; sometimes like Guanyin sitting on a lotus, extraordinary and unique.

After the experiment ended, Xiao Wu asked in a serious tone, "Hoo~ Third Brother, how was it? My eighth soul skill was amazing, wasn't it?"

"That's really impressive."

Tang San nodded involuntarily, savoring the feeling from just now. He noticed that his essence, energy, and spirit were becoming more refined, and some of the scattered essence, energy, and spirit even gathered into a peculiar energy ball, perfectly unified, just like an indestructible true spirit.

However, Tang San could sense that the thing was completely different from the Undying True Spirit. The only similarity was that it carried a trace of the nature of immortality.

When this energy cluster came into contact with the primordial spirit, it actually merged into it on its own, constantly strengthening the primordial spirit and making it more condensed. The primordial spirit is the purest essence of life, and the "nutrients" it needs for growth can be high-quality energy, such as immortal spiritual energy or chaotic energy, but the most suitable is provided by one's own essence, energy, and spirit.

By condensing the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir, the Soul Power Core, and the Spiritual Spirit, and establishing the transformation and circulation between essence, Qi, and spirit, the physical body is not only nurtured as part of the universe, but also used to nourish the primordial spirit.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu's eighth soul skill has such an effect, helping him condense the essence of his spirit and energy into a great pill, thus aiding his cultivation.

However, Tang San estimated that the reason they could achieve such an effect was because the two had been cultivating their qi and blood together for a long time, and were extremely familiar with each other's essence, qi and spirit, even reaching the level of "sharing weal and woe".

"During the cultivation process, I interact with my essence, energy, and spirit, and my primordial spirit has also been enhanced. Perhaps I can also help Guangling and the others with their cultivation." Xiaowu described the effects of her soul skill. "In addition, I can use the spatial furnace formed by my internal organs to purify various medicines and minerals, condense their medicinal power, and gather them into pills. When I use this soul skill, I also feel as if I have inexhaustible energy."

"With this soul skill, my seventh soul skill, Soft Bone Dharma Form, should be able to last for about an hour even without your support, Blue Silver Emperor."

"The five internal organs are indeed the source of a person's energy."

Tang San felt that if he thoroughly studied this spatial furnace, he might be able to create a "blood and qi furnace" to further improve the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure technique. However, he was more concerned about Xiao Wu's other soul skill in her eighth soul ring.

"The other soul skill is—"

Xiao Wu satisfied Tang San's curiosity. After getting dressed, she released her spirit rings. Her crimson eighth spirit ring flashed, and a figure that looked almost exactly like Xiao Wu outlined itself in the air before slowly solidifying and transforming into Xiao Rou's appearance.

The only difference might be that the other person's long hair was casually draped over their back shoulders in a ponytail, instead of being styled into a scorpion braid like Xiao Wu's.

"Auntie, how are you feeling?" Tang San asked.

"Not bad." Xiao Rou sniffed and smelled a peculiar scent, but didn't ask any questions. She just looked at herself and said, "I've discovered that I can use all the soul skills that Xiao Wu knows, and I can also use the soft skills that I developed, such as the Eight-Stage Throw... I have to say something to you about this. You've completely forgotten the foundation of the Soft Bone Rabbit lineage."

Xiao Wu, lost in thought, suddenly blushed, coughed twice, and snorted, "What have you forgotten? I just used it where it was supposed to be used."

Tang San felt a little awkward and changed the subject, saying, "Ahem, Auntie, your current state is no different from that of a living person. How long can you exist without relying on Xiao Wu's soul power?"

Xiao Rou sensed the energy within her body and exclaimed in surprise, "In terms of cultivation alone, my strength has already reached its peak, and even surpassed it by quite a bit... If I didn't borrow Xiao Wu's soul power, I should be able to exist for about three years. If I borrow soul power, I can exist indefinitely."

"Xiao Wu, the quality of your soul power is ridiculously high!"

"Has the soul core been condensed?"

"It feels like it's condensed, but it seems a bit different from how I told you. You condensed three soul cores? No, you also condensed your blood and spiritual power into corresponding soul cores, and they seem to be able to transform into each other... It's a very peculiar way."

At this point, Xiaorou looked at Tang San—

Obviously, in Xiao Rou's mind, Xiao Wu simply doesn't have the mind to develop cultivation methods. The fact that the Soft Bone Rabbit lineage has the method of condensing soul cores is something that has been passed down from a much more distant era, before the Dragon Rabbits became extinct.

"Thank you so much for taking care of Xiao Wu all these years." Xiao Rou bowed sincerely to Tang San and thanked him, then suddenly said, "I have no way to repay you except by offering myself to you. I hope my son-in-law will not find it offensive..."

whoosh-

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Rou was pulled back into Xiao Wu's body in a huff, muttering, "I've always wanted to resurrect Mother, but once she was actually resurrected, she became so unpredictable... Third Brother, you can't believe a word she says!"

Tang San nodded blankly, then suddenly smiled and said, "After your aunt appeared, you became much more lively, showing the same cheerfulness you had in Notting City."

"Hmph!" Xiao Wu was in a pretty good mood, and she also realized how her personality was formed. Besides the protection of Da Ming and Er Ming, she was also influenced by her unreliable mother.

I'll have to teach Xiaorou a lesson in the future, so she doesn't make any embarrassing mistakes.

That night, besides Tang San, Guang Ling, Rong Rong, Huo Wu, and the two elves, Meng Meng and Niannian, all enjoyed the "wonderful use" of the spatial furnace.

However, for Tang San, pleasure could not cloud his judgment. While immersed in joy, he also experienced the exchange, transformation, and circulation of energy between himself and the women, comprehending the "Great Dao of the Furnace" within, and conducting the most rigorous, practical, and scientific research...
