Chapter 571
“I would like to try . ” Jin Ying snorted coldly . She believed that with her ability, she would surely be able to absorb the two fist-sized Vital Qi clouds .
The storage ability of the body of a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial arts practitioner was no less than that of an immortal cultivator . Her physique was also extraordinary . It was unwise to estimate her ability simply be using common logic .
A golden light flashed past and Jin Ying’s silhouette appeared before the Vital Qi clouds . This time, she was rather cautious, worrying that there might be other unknown dangers popping up out of the blue .
However, she was obviously worrying too much . The Vital Qi clouds were close at hand . Nothing abnormal occurred .
The corner of Jin Ying’s mouth curled to form a smile . Without hesitation, she extended her hand and grabbed the Vital Qi cloud . The Vital Qi was like a material with shape and density . She caught a lump of it in her hand, as though she was grabbing a lump of cotton candy .
Yin Banshuang flew towards her, unwilling to let Jin Ying snatch all the Vital Qi . Just because Mo Wen didn’t care about it didn’t mean that she wasn’t still interested . This was the Vital Qi, a priceless treasure, the thing that the ancient martial art practitioners dreamt of, and yet would find it hard to get their hands on .
Mimicking Jin Ying’s moves, Yin Banshuang tore off a big chunk of the Vital Qi cloud . In an instant, the two of them had gathered two-thirds of the Vital Qi cloud . Seemingly still unsatisfied, they both made a grab at the remaining Vital Qi cloud . They each took a corner and grabbed the Vital Qi cloud in their hands .
Then something unexpected happened . The Vital Qi cloud, which they were clutching in their hands, suddenly scattered and disappeared . The next moment, all the Vital Qi reformed bit by bit, returning to its original position .
“What’s happening?” Jin Ying’s expression chilled . She couldn’t believe what had just happened and grabbed the Vital Qi cloud again . Once again, no matter how hard they tried, the two of them could not secure the Vital Qi cloud in their hands .
Yin Banshuang frowned . Ending her attempt to take the Vital Qi cloud she instead turned her gaze to Mo Wen . Both she and Jin Ying lacked understanding of the Vital Qi cloud . It seemed like Mo Wen was the only one who understood it .
“You need to invigorate your Qi and martial art method,” Mo Wen said calmly . “You must absorb the Vital Qi into your body and refine it . Absorb as much you can . However, don’t expect that you will be able to bring back the Vital Qi cloud . Neither of you has that ability . ”
He knew that they both believed they could collect the Vital Qi cloud and leave with it, even if they couldn’t absorb it . However, Mo Wen realized that this would be impossible for them . The Vital Qi was a mysterious energy among heaven and earth . It would only gather under special conditions . If this wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t be so precious and hard to find .

Even immortal cultivators with profound cultivation wouldn’t be able to bring back the Vital Qi without some special magical instruments or magical powers .
Jin Ying didn’t believe it . She took out a bunch of containers; however, all of them failed without exception . Once the Vital Qi was bottled, it dissipated back into the air . It couldn’t be stopped . Desperate, she even considered using her own body to store the Vital Qi . Luckily, she hadn’t lost her mind . If she attempted it, her body would most likely be crippled .
“Don’t be greedy . It might be that we really can’t take all the Vital Qi here,” Mo Wen said expressionlessly while treating his wound .
The ultimate treasure was right before one’s eyes, yet it was impossible to take it . This would naturally make one surly . He too wanted to bring all the Vital Qi back . However, he knew that it was impossible .
Yin Banshuang nodded . She could tell that Mo Wen wasn’t lying . Being able to absorb the Vital Qi was a rare skill . They were obviously too greedy for wanting to bring it home .
She stopped fighting with Jin Ying over the Vital Qi . Instead, she opened her mouth and sucked forcefully . A thread of Vital Qi flew instantly into her mouth . However, it only took a short while for Yin Banshuang to realize that she couldn’t absorb any more . If she continued to absorb the Vital Qi, she might actually explode!
A glint of incredulity welled up in her eyes . She couldn’t believe she could absorb so little . It was of so little use!
She was not content with the amount she had absorbed at all . She forced her mouth open and continued sucking . However, before she could even take a breath, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood . A mouthful of Vital Qi spilled out from her mouth . Her face turned as white as a sheet .
“This is not common Vital Qi . A mouthful of it is equivalent to a huge cloud of normal Vital Qi . You should be content,” Mo Wen said .
It was their fortune to encounter the top-quality Vital Qi . After today, all three of them would most likely undergo drastic changes akin to being reborn again .
Yin Banshuang said nothing . She knew that she couldn’t absorb any more Vital Qi . If she tried to, she would surely die .

She looked for a clean spot and sat silently on the ground, starting to invigorate her Qi to refine the Vital Qi .
After trying countless methods, Jin Ying had given up at this point too . Just like Yin Banshuang, she tried to absorb the Vital Qi into her body . In the end, the Vital Qi that she absorbed was slightly more than that of Yin Banshuang . However, when compared to the Vital Qi cloud, what she absorbed was only a tiny fraction, most likely only one-thirtieth of it .
Jin Ying’s facial expression turned ugly . Everyone knew that the more Vital Qi one absorbed, the greater the benefits one reaped . Who would have thought that she too, could only absorb so little?
However, she was decisive . With Yin Banshuang as an example, she didn’t force herself to absorb more .
With a flash, she found a quiet place and started to refine the Vital Qi at full speed .
After two hours, the two of them were still refining the Vital Qi . At the same time, Mo Wen stood up, having finished treating his injuries . More than half of his injuries had been healed .
He glanced at the surroundings . Instead of looking for Vital Qi right away, he cast his eyes at the few metallic Puppet Monsters which were lying on the ground .
The Puppet Monsters had surely been something extraordinary once . The materials used were not basic either . Time was cruel and under its corrosion, the monsters had lost their initial qualities . But for Mo Wen, they were still hard-to-encounter treasures . Perhaps he could make use of them in the future .
He walked towards the metallic Puppet Monsters and stored all three of them in the Medicine spiritual ring . Fortunately, both Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying were absorbed in their practice of refining the Vital Qi now and didn’t notice his actions .
After he had collected the remains of the Puppet Monsters, only then did Mo Wen look at the Vital Qi cloud in the air . After Jin Ying and Yin Banshuang had absorbed it, the Vital Qi cloud had not even been reduced by one-tenth . It seemed as though it hadn’t undergone any changes .
“How unfortunate . ” Mo Wen sighed . With his ability, it was likely that he would not be able to absorb a significant amount either . So much Vital Qi, yet he could only stare at it unable to bring everything back .

With a flash of his silhouette, he appeared in front of the Vital Qi . Mo Wen took a deep breath, reciting the rhymed formula silently in his heart once . It wasn’t the rhymed formula of the Nine Yang Divine Technique or the Nine Yin Divine Technique; instead, it was the spiritual rhymed formula practiced by the immortal cultivators .
He had neglected the practice of spiritual rhymed formula for a long time . He hadn’t practiced it at all during his current life . However, he knew the technique . With the help of the spiritual rhymed formula, his ability to absorb the Vital Qi would surely be much stronger than that of common ancient martial art practitioners .
Mo Wen opened his mouth and a river of Vital Qi gushed into his mouth . He chugged down the Vital Qi in a much more assertive manner than Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying .
The Vital Qi cloud in mid-air was slowly reduced . It had been reduced by one-fifth by the time Mo Wen came to a halt .
Mo Wen pressed his lips tightly shut, his body shaking slightly . He had reached his maximum limit . He was so full that threads of Vital Qi were flowing out of his orifices, slowly dissipating into the air .
He took a deep breath . Two brilliant, golden suns suddenly rose in his eyes . With the help of his overbearing soul power, he once again suppressed all the Vital Qi . Then, he opened his mouth and sucked forcefully once again, absorbing another cloud of Vital Qi into his body .
The more Vital Qi was absorbed, the greater the benefit . This point was without a doubt .
However, Mo Wen was also at his limit . He could not absorb any more . He could only drop back to the ground and begin diligently refining the Vital Qi in his body .
The Vital Qi cloud in the air had now been reduced by a third . The amount that Mo Wen alone absorbed was several times more than that of Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying combined .
A long silence descended on the garden . The three of them sat on the ground unmoving . Two hours passed, then four hours went by . Time trickled by bit by bit . With the passing of time, the bodies of the three of them started to release a faint, colorful, spiritual glow . The spiritual glow enveloped them all . They gradually formed eggshells, cutting off the surrounding air .
Eventually, the largest, brightest egg suddenly began to crack slowly . It dissipated into spots of light and Mo Wen emerged from the colorful light spots .
His aura had undergone a tremendous change . Even from afar, the astonishing power from his body could be felt . It was as though he was born greater than others .
“As expected the top-quality Vital Qi has the ability to make someone be reborn . Right now, although my body cannot be considered a divine body, it certainly cannot be considered a mortal one . With such a body, my chances of becoming immortal will increase multifold . ”
The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth curled into a carefree smile . His eyes were sparkling and his clear gaze seemed as though it could penetrate through space, emanating an incomparable glow .
Within a few short hours, he had experienced a metamorphosis, his body going through changes as though he was reborn . If he practiced Cultivation with his current body, he would certainly not bump into obstacles as he had in his previous life . Unfortunately, he did not have spiritual roots . Even if he became immortal, he most likely would still be unable to travel too far on the Way of Immortals .
Right now, he already had some understanding of what the ancient martial art practitioners meant by becoming immortal . Most likely becoming immortal was not just a leap in realms, but also a turning point that could cause a normal ancient martial art practitioner to develop spiritual roots . That was why it was so difficult and why not many people, after centuries and even millennia, had successfully become immortal .
As Mo Wen knew, it was extremely difficult for a normal person to develop spiritual roots . The great powers in the Immortal Cultivation world most probably would also find it very difficult to do so . He had never understood what method in this world could be used to cause a normal ancient martial art practitioner to complete the process of becoming immortal . For Huatian Palace to have mastered such a method was truly no easy task .
Although he was still far from becoming immortal, this did not affect Mo Wen’s mood . Right now, he had already taken a huge step forward . He believed that his chances of becoming immortal were far superior to that of normal people .
Aside from this, his cultivation had also jumped two levels, reaching the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm . The richness of his current Inner Qi had already surpassed a normal beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner . Also, his body had been reborn . The strength of his body was no longer weaker than that of a normal Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner . It was even better .
Be it Inner Qi or the strength of his body, he was no weaker than a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner . Right now, even calling him a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was not an exaggeration .
