Chapter 3537: Self‑Recovery

"Hmm, I'll do my best! I don't even know how long this energy will last!" Ye Liuyun replied with Transmission Voice and then continued the refining.

While refining this golden energy, he felt that not only his flesh and skin were being reshaped, but his tendons, organs, and Meridians were also being made tougher. It showed that this energy could comprehensively boost his Physical Body's strength.

Impurities in the Physical Body were automatically expelled by this energy. When he looked inward, he could see his whole body becoming crystal clear and flawless.

Each little absorption of this energy made his whole body feel comfortable, with flesh, skin, tendons, and bones constantly strengthening, and the power within his Physical Body growing ever fuller. He felt no pain while refining this energy.

He even checked the Ten Thousand Gods Command and got no response, indicating that refining this energy was safe, at least there was no Divine Sense present.

After a few days, his flesh, skin, and bones reached saturation, leaving only the Meridians still absorbing the energy.

He likely had previously absorbed resources such as Golden Spirit Horn and Jade Divine Bone into his flesh and bones, giving him a foundation, so the improvement was rapid.

The Meridians, however, had never been specially cultivated; they were only reinforced during breakthroughs. Thus, enhancing the Meridians' toughness now required a larger amount of energy.

After another day, Ye Liuyun's absorption and refining automatically stopped; there was no longer any part of his body that needed the energy.

The golden large egg had shrunk considerably, now only about seventy percent of its original size.

"This effect is amazing!" Ye Liuyun felt the strength of his Physical Body and sensed an inexhaustible force and an invincible feeling.

Yet he restrained the urge to test it, deciding to use the time to keep boosting his strength with this energy, lest idle time lead to trouble.

So he immediately resumed absorbing the energy to enhance his Bloodline Power, and asked Yue Hong to help monitor the changes in his Bloodline Power.

"I suggest you cultivate a few drops of super strong refined blood. Your current Bloodline Power is already far stronger than an ordinary person's; there's no need to raise it overall, better to refine a few drops of super divine‑level refined blood."

"That way those refined blood drops can later automatically improve the quality of other blood!" Yue Hong advised Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, I'll follow your suggestion and refine them into refined blood!"

Ye Liuyun immediately used this energy, focusing on refining refined blood, using the quality of the previously absorbed super divine‑level refined blood as a reference.

Within a few days, he slowly refined ten drops of refined blood.

Continuous cultivation left him a bit fatigued, so he decided to move around a little. He paused his cultivation and got up to stretch.

The golden egg had been consumed by another ten percent.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind; he released a few of his tamed ferocious beasts to retrieve the herb garden guarded by the flower python. The beasts' wounds had healed, so they could collect the herbs without worry.

"Master, the herb garden is changing!"

But shortly after the beasts left, Ye Liuyun received their Transmission Voice.

He stayed by the golden egg, fearing an accident, and directly inspected it with his Golden Pupil.

Yet the moment he looked, he was startled: some herbs in the garden were rapidly withering, as if something had siphoned their energy.

"Collect them quickly!"

Ye Liuyun ordered the ferocious beasts to act immediately, lest more herbs be destroyed. The beasts promptly gathered the still‑fresh herbs into the Storage Ring.

He swept the area with his Golden Pupil but found no trace of any mischievous entity. Now he dared even less to leave the golden egg, fearing a trap.

He glanced unintentionally at the golden egg, wondering whether to store it away, but the sight gave him a sudden fright.

Because he discovered—

—that the golden egg's breathing became more pronounced, as if it were greedily inhaling energy.

"Could the golden egg be drying out?"

Ye Liuyun suddenly recalled Ye Ling's words: the golden egg can autonomously absorb energy.

He stared at the golden egg for a while but saw no obvious change.

After a while, the ferocious beasts returned, handing over all the harvestable herbs to Ye Liuyun.

"Stay outside the Formation, keep watch on the surroundings. If anyone approaches, kill them on sight!"

Ye Liuyun left them outside the Formation to act as sentries while he surveyed the area.

Not long after, they all noticed the surrounding trees beginning to wither, starting from the mountain's summit and spreading downward, clearly visible.

Ye Liuyun watched for a moment and saw the withered trees shift further down, with his position at the core of the withering.

This made him doubt the golden egg again; upon closer inspection, it indeed seemed to have grown slightly.

"Could this thing still recover on its own? The flower python wasn't waiting for its transformation but aiming to exploit its regenerative ability for long‑term cultivation?"

The more Ye Liuyun thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

He immediately recorded the golden egg's dimensions and size, then stopped cultivating and simply waited to see if it would enlarge.

After half a day, Ye Liuyun confirmed that the golden egg truly possessed self‑recovery ability, but it required a substantial amount of energy. One‑third of the mountain's vegetation had already withered, yet the golden egg had only grown a little.

"At this rate, it will drain all the mountain's plants, and even then it will recover less than ten percent of the energy," Ye Liuyun speculated, comparing the egg's growth speed to the vegetation's withering speed.

Suddenly, he produced a Primordial Power and placed it beside the golden egg.

Sure enough, the golden egg began voraciously absorbing the Primordial Power. Ye Liuyun clearly felt the Primordial Power's energy being drawn into the egg.

"This is a true cultivation treasure! Using it to cultivate is far faster than self‑cultivation!"

Elated, Ye Liuyun also tried other energies, even letting the Magic Crystal be absorbed by the golden egg. After absorption, it turned into pure golden energy.

Moreover, after acquiring these energies, the egg no longer drew energy from the mountain; Ye Liuyun guessed it prioritized absorbing what was offered first, and it could ingest any kind of energy.

"This is the real genius treasure! This time it wasn't in vain!" Ye Liuyun was so thrilled he nearly jumped up; with this golden egg, he and his companions would never lack cultivation resources again.

After calming down, he began studying the golden egg's energy‑absorption rate.
