"What?
You've already found four of them? "
Jade In The Book was slightly surprised. She couldn't help but become absent-minded. Her apricot eyes were filled with sadness.
Qin Shi immediately tensed up. "Sister Yu, what's wrong?"
"I … I …!"
Jade In The Book choked with sobs. She didn't need to think to know that Qin Shi must have suffered a lot in order to obtain the Pale Flame Restoration Pill. The Pale Flame Restoration Pill was known as the first divine pill in the ancient times. Which of the spirit herbs needed to concoct it wasn't rare?
For Qin Shi to be able to find four stalks, one could imagine how much hardship he had gone through.
"Shi Tou … Thank you …!"
Qin Shi shook his head with a smile. "Let's not talk about these things between us, okay?"
Jade In The Book hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, a halo of light shone towards Qin Shi. She squinted her eyes and suddenly remembered something. She said in surprise, "Shi Tou, quickly absorb this Wushen Fruit. This Wushen Fruit will be of great help to you."
Qin Shi looked at the Wushen Fruit helplessly. Absorb?
How could he not want to absorb it?
The problem was that this Wushen Fruit seemed to have eaten gunpowder. It madly attacked him and didn't give him a chance to absorb it.
"Don't be impatient. It doesn't want to attack you. It just wants to hone you. You have to observe carefully. Every time it attacks you, it contains a very profound martial arts mystery. When you completely understand it, it will be time for you to conquer it."
"Huh?"
Qin Shi frowned. He looked at the Wushen Fruit suspiciously. Sure enough, the Wushen Fruit rushed towards him again. However, the temperature of the Void followed it. It changed from the original scorching heat to the bitter cold. He couldn't help but shiver.
As the crisis approached, Qin Shi was about to get up and dodge. However, he suddenly remembered what Jade In The Book had said. He forced himself to calm down and stay where he was.
His eyes were fixed on the Wushen Fruit.
A moment later, he opened his eyes abruptly, as if he had suddenly understood something.
Seeing his strange expression, Jade In The Book smiled with relief. "Have you finally found out?"
Qin Shi didn't reply, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. At this moment, the sky was filled with pure white snow, and every inch of the air was filled with a cold current. In this kind of coldness, Qin Shi thought that even a Domain Realm expert couldn't move freely, right?
However, the Wushen Fruit did it.
The reason why he was able to do this was not because he possessed great strength. It was just that his movements were extremely ingenious. He was actually able to follow the flow of the cold current. This originally difficult movement instantly became as easy as a fish in water.
"Can it be done like this?"
Qin Shi was shocked. Jade in the Book smiled and nodded, "Martial arts are born from the heavens. Those who obey the heavens control the heavens, and those who defy the heavens perish. However, the people of this world misunderstand that martial arts are the way to defy the heavens. This is called martial arts being limited. True martial arts should follow the Heavenly Dao."
Speaking of this, she clenched her jade-like hands. "You can have a try."
Qin Shi nodded solemnly. He was also attracted by this magical power. He closed his eyes slightly and closed his five senses. He began to feel the movements around him alone. The whistling wind and the cold current. At this moment, he seemed to be a part of this world.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. His body moved slightly, but as if he had the help of God, he lightly flashed away from where he was. The Wushen Fruit brushed past him, but it couldn't touch him at all.
"I dodged it?"
Qin Shi was overjoyed. Although he had dodged the attacks of the Wushen Fruit several times before, he had to consume a lot of strength every time, causing him to be exhausted. But this time, it was just the opposite. He felt that it was very easy.
Jade In The Book smiled with satisfaction. "It's worthy of being a stone."
Under the guidance of Jade In The Book, Qin Shi finally found the mystery of the Wushen Fruit. It turned out that the Wushen Fruit was not as rumored. After swallowing it, one could get the power of Martial God. The power of Martial God was not a kind of power, but a skill in martial arts.
Of course, this kind of skill was mysterious and penetrated the Way of Heaven.
After mastering the mystery, Qin Shi took a deep breath. The Wushen Fruit was no longer a threat to him, so the next step was to conquer it.
The look in his eyes changed. When the Wushen Fruit rushed at him again, he turned his body lightly and drew a circle on the spot. Then, when the Wushen Fruit passed through his black robe, his black eyes flashed, and he reached out his hand.
"You've chased me for so long. Now it's my turn, right?"
Qin Shi smiled slightly, and his eyes were full of coldness.
Qin Shi made two moves in a row, and each time, he missed by a little bit. However, that little bit seemed to be thousands of meters away, which made him annoyed. "It shouldn't be like this."
Suddenly, he stopped and closed his eyes once more.
"No, there's something missing."
He carefully recalled the whole process of the two times, trying to find the reason. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, which made him stare.
"I understand now!"
He shouted excitedly, and his whole aura changed. Jade In The Book looked at him, and said with a gratified smile, "You've really grown up."
This time, Qin Shi didn't chase after the Wushen Fruit. Instead, he stayed in place and waited. Sure enough, the Wushen Fruit saw that Qin Shi wasn't going to attack. So, it hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and rushed at him again.
But at this moment, the corner of Qin Shi's mouth slightly rose, and his body suddenly moved. He fiercely welcomed the Wushen Fruit. His movement surprised the Wushen Fruit. It wanted to dodge, but it was obviously too late.
"Little guy, be obedient."
Qin Shi clenched his hand, and the Wushen Fruit was firmly suppressed under his palm. The power of the Wushen Fruit was like a dragon trapped in a cage, and it couldn't break free no matter how hard it struggled.
"Shi Tou, now!" Jade In The Book said softly.
Qin Shi nodded his head, and then immediately stared at the Wushen Fruit. He closed his eyes and spread his mind power. From his body, a shadow formed, like an illusionary crescent moon, and a lotus appeared under the Primordial Spirit.
"Did you succeed?"
Staring at Qin Shi, Jade In The Book breathed a sigh of relief. But at the same time, her delicate body began to fade, which startled Qin Shi and made him look up.
"Sister Yu, what's going on?"
"Little Shi Tou, I barely woke up with the help of the power of the Martial God Tree. Now that the Wushen Fruit is under your control, and the power of the Martial God is about to be passed on to you, I naturally have to go back to burning the book and sleep."
Suddenly understanding, Qin Shi shouted, "No, I don't want it. If that's the case, I don't want the power of the Martial God. Sister Yu, quickly take it back …"
"Shh!"
Jade In The Book suddenly put her hand on the corner of Qin Shi's mouth and smiled at him, "Silly Shi Tou, I can't take this power back. Besides, you need it now. The reason why I brought you here is that I don't trust you to take care of yourself when I'm asleep. Be good, I'm already very satisfied to see you."
"Sister Yu …!"
"Be obedient. You shouldn't stop here. You have a wider territory waiting for you, and you still need to recruit your harem. Besides, don't you already have the prescription of the Pale Flame Restoration Pill?
You will wake me up again, right? "
Suddenly, Qin Shi calmed down. He clenched his fists so hard that his nails dug into his palms. He nodded vigorously, "Yes, I will, I definitely will."
"That's enough."
Jade In The Book smiled contentedly, "But, Shi Tou, don't be anxious, and don't be impulsive. You said that you still need to take care of me, so you must first grow your wings. Promise me …!"
"I promise you."
After getting an affirmative answer, Jade In The Book slowly disappeared. Qin Shi looked at her helplessly and disappeared once again.
However, this time, he didn't cry, nor did he make a fuss, nor did he roar. He just silently bit his lips, and his eyes became firm.
Because he knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't change the situation. Only by becoming stronger could he change the current situation.
"Sister Yu, believe me, I will definitely wake you up. When that time comes, I want us to be together, and no one can separate us!"
Qin Shi took a deep breath with determination, and immediately moved his eyes to look at the Wushen Fruit below.
Now, the first thing he needed to do was to absorb the Wushen Fruit, so that he wouldn't let Jade In The Book down. Moreover, after absorbing the Wushen Fruit, he had more important things to do.
And that was to fight for the Mausoleum.
He needed to become stronger, and the best shortcut to become stronger was the Mausoleum of the Realm of the Gods, which only appeared once in a thousand years. Now, he had vaguely guessed the true master of the Mausoleum.
"Little fellow, help me!"
He muttered to himself, and then suddenly spread his arms. With a bang, in an instant, a vast force violently shattered the void. The Wushen Fruit immediately quietened down, and was firmly enveloped by his aura.
He slightly concentrated, and the Wushen Fruit was visibly assimilated into his body. After the previous confrontation, he had already comprehended the profound meaning of martial arts, so devouring the Wushen Fruit now was inevitable.
However, even so, he still felt somewhat shocked.
When all the power and inheritance within the Wushen Fruit flowed into his body, he trembled slightly. Only then did he suddenly realize how terrifying the power of a Martial God was.
In that instant, his view of the world seemed to have changed. Many profound meanings of martial arts that he could never have imagined in the past appeared in his mind, forming Sanskrit words that constantly revolved around him.
Every word, every sentence, was the essence.
"Is this what the Martial God left behind in his life?"
When the power of a Martial God completely assimilated into his sea of consciousness, Qin Shi slowly opened his eyes. His expression was slack, and an unusual power flowed out from his palm.
He gently waved his hand, and the martial arts that he had once exhausted his entire body every time he used them were now at his fingertips.
Furthermore, most importantly, the martial arts that had undergone the power of a Martial God had all undergone a qualitative leap and improvement. He could not help but reveal a faint smile.
However, this was not what he was most excited about, nor was he most impatient to see. What he was truly excited about was what would happen next. He waved his hand, and an ancient book rose from his hand.
When he stared at the ancient book, his entire body began to heat up.
