Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 251 - 243: Cheating Style Enhancement
Chu Hao simply took out all the Dragon Tooth Rice, reasoning that if the other party really had any greedy intentions, he would have been buried as fertilizer in the soil long ago.
Xiaocao picked up the grains of Dragon Tooth Rice one by one and then divided them into two piles, one side piled up like a small mountain while the other was sparse, pitifully scant.
Her slender hand touched each grain of Dragon Tooth Rice, and a soft green light would flicker, as if scanning.
Chu Hao silently nodded, recognizing that the girl was very likely a descendent of the Gu Clan, with a Wood Attribute physique, naturally able to communicate with plants and even influence their growth.
In the end, Xiaocao picked out a total of 27 grains of Dragon Rice Tooth.
"The normal growth period for Dragon Tooth Rice is around a hundred years, but I can shorten it to one year," she said matter-of-factly.
Chu Hao couldn’t help but be astonished, what kind of terrifying ability was this?
In other words, things like Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng and Ten Thousand Year Snow Ganoderma, which would normally need one thousand or even ten thousand years to fully cultivate, could be completely grown by her in just ten or one hundred years. If the various Great Sects knew of her ability, they would fight tooth and nail to possess her.
To say the least, if one could have her, the overall strength of a Sect would at least increase by two whole tiers.
At this moment, Chu Hao no longer doubted that she could enhance his Cultivation of the Two Meridians within a month; some people are indeed destined to create miracles.
Ah, this girl was all right in every aspect, but what she did was somewhat frightening, actually burying live people in the ground as fertilizer. Yet she herself remained so pure, like a white lotus untouched by the slightest dust of the world.
Next, Chu Hao began his journey of enhancing his Cultivation.
Xiaocao did not lie; the process was truly unbearably painful.
"Eat this." The girl handed him a green object that resembled a snake gall but was the size of a fist, and moreover, this thing was still writhing as if it was full of worms about to burrow out.
Chu Hao considered himself to be very bold, but he really had no desire to eat this thing.
It was too horrifying.
But then he immediately thought of the increase in Cultivation... No matter what, without strength, he couldn’t accomplish anything.
He needed to at least become a High Tier Warrior to have the qualifications to confront the Yunliu Sect and liberate Fu Xue, Tang Xin, and the others from their clutches.
The sooner, the better.
He gritted his teeth and swallowed the "Green Ball" in one gulp. He didn’t dare to bite it and simply swallowed it whole, but even so, as the Green Ball passed through, it left an indescribable bitter taste that was so intense he almost vomited his bile.
"Don’t move!" Xiaocao warned.
Chu Hao could only maintain the cross-legged position as Xiaocao had instructed him to strictly follow every single word she said.
Before the bitter taste had subsided, he felt as if there was a fire burning in his stomach, an extremely high temperature assaulting him, as if he was about to be immediately consumed by flames.
"Circulate your skill, guide the Star Force to flow," Xiaocao immediately said.
Chu Hao activated the cellular furnace, the Minor Formless Mysterious Skill circulated, beginning to refine whatever it was within his body – the medicinal efficacy or whatever it may be.
Xiaocao had a stern expression as she took out three Golden Needles, each three inches long, somewhat awe-inspiring.
"No matter how uncomfortable it feels, you must endure it," she warned, and then she thrust the needles fiercely into Chu Hao’s back, swiftly delivering seventeen stabs, as quick as a dragonfly skimming the water.
Chu Hao almost roared out in pain. Although he had a Fire Attribute physique, it did nothing to lessen or mitigate the intense heat within his body. Xiaocao’s needles seemed to pierce only lightly, but it felt as if they had thoroughly punctured all his organs, causing excruciating pain.
He clamped his teeth together tightly, continuously circulating Star Force, and soon large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes in an instant.
Huff, huff, huff, the breath he exhaled through his nostrils was white and even carried sparks, showing that the fiery feeling inside him wasn’t an illusion but truly that intense.
If this continued, he might really be refined into a Human Pill.
Chu Hao now had to just trust Xiaocao, continuously circulating Star Force, and began to attack the Fourth Reverse Meridian.
To his surprise, this Reverse Meridian had become extremely pliable, and under the impact of his Star Force, it opened up significantly.
To put it in perspective, if his Reverse Meridian was as hard as a rock before, now it was like soft mud – hence making it much easier to excavate.
But this process was truly an ordeal of fire and ice.
On one hand, being able to rapidly open the Meridians was a joyous occurrence, but on the other, the physical pain was constant, ceaselessly tormenting his will, making him want to stop the process and curl up in agony.
This was a test of willpower.
Chu Hao stubbornly persevered, he couldn’t waste such an opportunity.
No matter what Xiaocao had fed him, if it could achieve such an effect, it must indeed be a priceless Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. If it were known outside, countless people would fight over it.
So, no matter how unbearable it was, he had to endure it.
After a day, Chu Hao was nearly drained, and when Xiaocao calmly said, "That’s enough for today," he immediately collapsed on the ground and fell asleep, uncaring about anything else.
The next day, he naturally continued the same process as yesterday, and the day after that was the same.
Chu Hao never asked about that green thing he was ingesting; he feared that once he knew what it was, he might never have the courage to swallow it again.
But the results were incredibly apparent, as just after five days, the fourth Reverse Meridian was abruptly opened.
Four Meridians.
Chu Hao was astonished. Within just five days, he had leapt from the Peak of the Three Meridians to Four Meridians—who would believe such a thing if he told them? Yet the girl who made this miracle possible remained nonchalant, as if she had not done anything remarkable.
On the sixth day, Chu Hao changed his position.
He lay on the bed, then downed a large heap of grey stuff, and just like with the green matter, he didn’t ask what it was.
Facing down, Xiaocao continued to prick his back with golden needles, one quickly following another.
Initially it was fiery heat, now it was icy cold!
Chu Hao felt as if he had been immersed in an ice cellar, the intense chill making his entire body shiver, and this was not an illusion, for tiny icicles were actually forming on his eyelashes.
Hissing and gritting his teeth, Chu Hao thought Xiaocao’s golden needles were truly soul-rending and excruciating, making him want to howl in agony.
Unable to help himself, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the foot of the bed, but now, with what strength he had, his iron grip turned the wood into splinters with a snap, the bed sinking down significantly.
"Don’t move!" Xiaocao said, sounding somewhat displeased.
Big sister, do you know how painful this is?
Chu Hao said in his mind, his hands reaching to the ground, digging deeply into the soil, gripping it as if it was his nemesis.
The fourth Reverse Meridian kept expanding at a stunning rate. During this process, his physique continued to improve rapidly, now able to ingest three grains of Dragon Tooth Rice daily, all of which he refined and absorbed.
In just one day, this Reverse Meridian expanded by twenty times. At this rate, ten days would be enough to reach the ultimate expansion of two hundred times; coupled with the previous five days, he would complete a minor realm of cultivation in just half a month.
Moreover, typically when using Star Force to stimulate Meridians for expansion, one could only cultivate for three hours each day, any longer would cause damage to the Meridians. However, with Xiaocao’s methods, the Meridians could expand for up to ten hours each day.
If this girl were to be recruited by any power, it was unfathomable how much this would strengthen that force.
Chu Hao always felt he was gifted, with a strong physique and a martial arts prodigy with the potential to become a War God, but compared with this girl, he felt rather worthless.
In terms of combat power, this girl was born with a strange poison that, if not controlled, would ensure any Martial Artist of the same tier would collapse if they approached within three meters of her. Furthermore, she could communicate with plants, commanding terrifying entities like Grey Vine to assist in battle. This made her even more fearsome, almost capable of facing a million enemies alone.
And as for value, Chu Hao could only craft eighth rank Treasure Artifacts. How could that compare to her ability to cultivate Spirit Grass?
There are plenty who can craft artifacts, yet regarding cultivating Spirit Grass, perhaps on the entire Sky Martial Star there’s only Xiaocao, with no second to be found.
Thirdly, she could help people increase their Cultivation in an almost cheating manner, driving one mad with envy.
Was there a second prodigy like her in the world?
Half a month later, Chu Hao reached the Peak of Four Meridians.
And his physical strength had grown even more terrifying, equivalent to the Late Period of Three Meridians.
Next was the assault on Five Meridians. Once he had activated the fifth Reverse Meridian, Xiaocao, just like before, used that green snake gallbladder-like thing to help Chu Hao open his Meridians, followed by the grey substance to speed up the Meridians’ expansion.
The whole process made Chu Hao feel as if he was living in hell, each day worse than death. His greatest wish now was that after falling asleep at night, he would never wake up the next day.
But regardless, a month still passed.
Five Meridians Peak!
And his physical strength had fully caught up, advancing side by side with his Star Force Cultivation.
Now, even if Chu Hao wanted to continue suffering, it wasn’t possible, because both the green stuff and the grey substance were entirely used up.
Chu Hao felt both joy in gaining a new lease on life and a bit of reluctance. If he could have continued, in just five days he would be at Six Meridians, and after another half a month at the Peak of Six Meridians, then Seven Meridians, Eight Meridians, or even Nine Meridians, Ten Meridians, and finally, in one breath reaching the status of Warrior.
Unfortunately, where in the world are such good things so easily obtained? His current luck was enough to make countless people envious for a lifetime.
After the hellish training ended, Chu Hao slept for an entire day and night. On the third day’s early morning, when he stepped out of his door, he saw Xiaocao was watering with a kettle again, but this time, what she was watering was a rice field.
Dragon Tooth Rice.
In just one month, those Dragon Rice Tooth seeds had sprouted, growing strong and tall, already half the height of a person.
Xiaocao had said she would only need one year to mature the Dragon Tooth Rice. Based on this progress, certainly, in another month it could bear rice ears, and after ten months grow to the size of corn.
"Come, I’ll take you to a place." Xiaocao put down her watering can. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
