Chapter 1073: An Insatiable Seed!

At this very moment, Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru's worldviews were in complete disarray!

Since when could a collapse of Immortal Yuan in the Dantian be treated?

Since when could a single Pill solve a problem that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be helpless against?

Yet right now, this scene was unfolding before their eyes.

After Xu Que swallowed a green "Pill," he fell into a state of Closed-door Cultivation; his entire person resembled a solid rock, silent and motionless, while even that wild and turbulent Immortal Yuan aura within his Dantian was slowly dissipating.

"This... how is it possible?"

"A single Pill solved it?"

Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru stared at each other in utter shock, their faces filled with horror, rendered speechless.

If such a world-shaking matter were leaked, even Zhenyuan Daoist would probably laugh at them for bragging!

"Second Miss, wh... what should we do now? We're about to arrive at Li Qiu City, and we have no idea when this lad will finish!" Xiao Ru suddenly thought of the crucial issue and hurriedly asked.

Feng Lanwu glanced at Xu Que, who sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes tightly closed, hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "Let's bypass Li Qiu City and delay a bit longer!"

"Ah? But we don't have much time left; at most... at most only three months remain!" Xiao Ru immediately exclaimed in alarm.

"Then... let's give him three months!" Feng Lanwu shifted her gaze slightly, looking toward the front of the Flying Boat, and replied in a low voice.

If they returned empty-handed, let alone three months, even three years would be useless; therefore, this time, she had to go all in!

Meanwhile, Xu Que himself had fallen into a wondrous state.

It was as if he had returned to the womb, his whole body surrounded and embraced by a gentle force, intimate and warm, exceedingly peaceful and quiet.

All his Divine Soul and aura converged entirely within his body, gradually gathering toward the Dantian!

In the very center of his vast and boundless Dantian, a Green Lotus Seed emitted a faint halo, hovering in the middle, while the wild, turbulent, and chaotic Five Elements Immortal Origin surrounding it surged crazily into the Green Lotus Seed!

This situation was like throwing a sponge into the sea, frantically absorbing seawater; the terrifying part was that this sponge's water-absorbing capacity seemed endless, ceaselessly devouring everything, showing a trend of draining dry this ocean-like expanse of Immortal Yuan!

Xu Que remained completely unaware, still trapped in that half-asleep, dream-like state!

He had never been so quiet before; his body seemed to return to primal simplicity, with only his outer shell remaining unchanged, while internally he was gradually regressing—his meridians, bone structure, blood, and all else slowly reverting to an infantile state, then growing from an infant into an adult again, cycling continuously through Reincarnation!

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Time trickled away bit by bit until, after Forty-Nine Days reached Perfect Stage, Xu Que's eyelids finally trembled slightly.

His Divine Soul gradually awakened; the Green Lotus Seed in his Dantian also cracked open with a fissure so fine it was nearly imperceptible, yet the originally ocean-vast Five Elements Immortal Origin had by now been absorbed completely clean, and even that Thunder Attribute Immortal Origin drawn from the Heavenly Tribulation had vanished without a trace!

The enormous and boundless Dantian Mansion was now utterly empty, resembling a deep Void or a cosmic Black Hole, sending chills down one's spine!

"Phew!"

Xu Que turned his consciousness inward to inspect, clearly seeing all this, yet instead felt a thorough sense of relief in his heart!

Although all Immortal Yuan Power was gone, Xu Que had never lacked medicines to replenish Immortal Yuan; he believed that by casually exchanging a few bottles of Pills from the System, he could quickly cultivate it back again—the key point was that his Dantian had now been repaired, and there was no longer any danger to his life!

This also meant that his strength would soon return to its peak!

"Chaos Green Lotus Seed, truly interesting!" Xu Que smiled slightly, cast a glance at the seed emitting a faint green halo, then swiftly withdrew his Divine Soul from the Dantian!

Whoosh!

The next moment, Xu Que, who had been sitting cross-legged inside the Flying Boat without moving for over a month, finally opened his eyes!

But at this time, the Flying Boat was utterly silent; Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru were both staying in their respective Rooms, their auras extremely steady, seemingly in the midst of cultivation.

Xu Que couldn't be bothered to wake them; he directly summoned the System Mall Interface, exchanged for several bottles of Pills to restore Immortal Yuan, and swallowed them immediately.

The Pills melted upon entering his mouth; their medicinal properties instantly surged like a flood and fierce beasts, rushing wildly into all major Meridians and charging toward the Dantian!

However, for someone like Xu Que whose Dantian constitution differed from ordinary people, this amount of medicinal power was merely a drop in the bucket; nevertheless, adhering to the idea of replenishing as much as possible, Xu Que swallowed several bottles of Pills in one go!

"Boom!"

All the Pills melted, transforming into a massive surge of wild Spiritual Energy that rushed toward his interior like a raging tide, sweeping through his Dantian!

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Xu Que's face; this medicinal effect could at least help him instantly recover about a quarter of his Immortal Yuan Power, and combined with the System's recovery function plus continued medication, perhaps within Half an Hour, he could return to his peak strength!

But suddenly, the smile on Xu Que's face froze stiff!

The Immortal Origin formed from dozens of Pills had just surged into the Dantian, not even having settled down yet, when that Green Lotus Seed suddenly opened like a beast baring its bloody maw, frantically sweeping away that Immortal Origin and devouring it completely clean!

The huge Dantian Mansion turned empty once again in the blink of an eye!

"Damn it!"

Xu Que's eyes instantly widened, his mouth hanging open.

What the hell does this mean?

After so much effort to resolve the hidden danger, he had instead buried an even bigger giant Pit for himself?

Hell, no wonder he always felt something strange about his Dantian; turns out this fellow had become a rice-stealing rat?

Only now did Xu Que suddenly realize, because he had never seen his Dantian Mansion empty before; once the System's recovery function was activated, it would continuously replenish lost Immortal Yuan, but upon waking this time, he found nothing inside his Dantian Mansion and hadn't had time to react immediately.

Now he finally understood: the Immortal Yuan replenished by the System's recovery function had all been stolen by this Green Lotus Seed, and now it was even more audacious! It was blatantly stealing the Immortal Origin formed from Pills too!

"Damn it, System, help me take this Green Lotus Seed out; I can't afford to raise it!" Xu Que immediately sought help from the System.

The System responded directly: "Ding, after detection, this Green Lotus Seed has merged with the Host into one entity; it cannot be separated and cannot be removed!"

"What?" Xu Que was dumbfounded again.

Cannot be separated, cannot be removed?

Then what am I supposed to do? Keep raising it until it takes root and sprouts, or even becomes a Chaos Green Lotus?

Even with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, it wouldn't be enough!

"Host need not worry; the Green Lotus Seed is about to awaken. Please continue irrigating it with Immortal Yuan; after it is awakened, it will appropriately draw Immortal Yuan according to the Host's cultivation level without affecting the Host!" At this moment, the System's prompt sounded.

Only after hearing this did Xu Que's expression improve slightly; he nodded faintly. As long as this Green Lotus Seed wasn't an insatiable Bottomless Pit, it was barely acceptable!

"Forget it, forget it. Since I've already used up several dozen Pills, what's the harm in using a few dozen more!"

In the end, Xu Que exchanged with the system once again for Pills to restore Immortal Yuan Power and crudely dumped them all into his mouth.

However, the situation remained exactly as before: the moment the medicinal energy transformed into Immortal Yuan and flowed into his dantian, it was immediately sucked dry by the Green Lotus Seed.

"Damn, still not done? Fine, I refuse to believe I can't fill you up!"

Xu Que instantly became displeased. Since he had already fed it nearly a hundred Pills, what did it matter to feed it another hundred!

Immediately, he exchanged for over a hundred Pills and continuously stuffed them into his mouth, going head-to-head with that Green Lotus Seed!

But very soon...

"Still not working? Forget it. Since I've already used a total of two hundred Pills, what's the harm in using another two hundred!"

"Holy crap, even four hundred Pills aren't enough?"

"System, exchange five hundred Pills for me. I refuse to believe it! If this doesn't work, I'll livestream myself eating shit!"

"What the hell... bring me a jin of shit... tch, no, wrong, bring me another six hundred Pills!"

"Damn, bring another thousand!"
