This poison might be difficult for other cultivators to neutralize, but to Wei Ruyan, it was an invaluable tonic. Absorbing it into her body, the young lady's eyes shone with excitement.
"The black aura is able to raise your cultivation?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Wei Ruyan nodded in response.
"As expected of the Innate Poison Body …" Zhang Xuan remarked.
Her unique constitution was truly formidable.
Others would lose control of their lives after coming into contact with the poison aura, but this fellow was actually able to raise her cultivation … Even Zhang Xuan was impressed.
It didn't take long for Wei Ruyan to finish absorbing the black aura. She placed the Bodhi Fruit into a unique jade box before walking over to the second Bodhi Fruit. She drove her full strength once more, and yet another surge of black aura gushed out. This time, the young lady's face paled.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"The poison aura is too strong. There's a limit to my rate of absorption," Wei Ruyan replied.
Even though she possessed the Innate Poison Body, there was still a limit to her rate of absorption. If she absorbed too much of the poison aura, her body would explode. The aura of the second Bodhi Fruit was even denser and purer than the first, such that even she found it hard to withstand it.
It took a long while before Wei Ruyan managed to suppress the raging poison within her body. Heaving a sigh of relief, she turned her attention to the third Bodhi Fruit.
Tzzzzz!
This time, the poison aura was even more concentrated than before. Under the assault of the poison aura, Wei Ruyan's body trembled uncontrollably, and her face turned paler and paler. Just as she was about to reach her limit, she suddenly felt a palm pressing against her back. "Make use of the poison aura to push for a breakthrough!"
Zhang Xuan's voice sounded.
"Yes!"
Knowing that her teacher was here to help her, Wei Ruyan didn't say a word. Instead, she focused her attention and channeled the poison aura into her body.
The poison aura released by plucking the Bodhi Fruit not only enhanced one's strength but also one's Soul Depth. Zhang Xuan used his Heaven's Path zhenqi to clear the bottlenecks within the young lady's body so that her zhenqi could flow more smoothly.
Just as he had expected, the poisonous gas grew stronger with each fruit he plucked. When he reached the sixth fruit, the poisonous gas permeated the air, seemingly capable of corroding even space itself.
Zhang Xuan's entire body rumbled with power as he constantly adjusted the flow of true energy within Wei Ruyan's body, allowing her power to flow more smoothly. After an unknown period of time, Wei Ruyan's meridians began to creak. Creak! Just like Zhao Ya, his cultivation and zhenqi cultivation had also reached Sempiternal realm consummation.
"Thank you, teacher …"
After stabilizing the surging power in her body, Wei Ruyan bowed and cupped her fists, her face filled with excitement.
If not for his teacher's help, at the very least, more than half of the poison aura would have been wasted. More importantly, his body might not have been able to withstand it, and he might have sustained severe injuries.
But now, not only was his cultivation completely healed, his cultivation had even reached Sempiternal realm consummation. With such strength and the domineering Innate Poison Aura that he possessed, it was likely that he would be invincible among those beneath Ancient Sage.
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he turned his gaze back to the eight young men who were currently fighting with Luo Qiqi.
If not for his presence, if Wei Ruyan were to pluck the Bodhi Fruits freely, the poison aura would have grown stronger and stronger, resulting in irreparable damage. Such damage was not something that a single Bodhi Fruit could make up for!
Those fellows actually allowed her to do all this without taking any precautions. Their intentions were truly unforgivable!
Peng peng peng!
At this moment, the battle between the two sides had finally come to an end. With the Dimension Silencer, Luo Qiqi's fighting prowess was unparalleled. Even with the combined might of the eight of them, they were still no match for her. In the end, all of them sustained severe injuries, and their faces were pale.
The fact that they were qualified to enter the Hundred Schools of Philosophers to search for the Bodhi Fruit showed that their standing in the Hundred Schools of Philosophers was not low.
Despite their outstanding standing and talent, they were still pummeled so badly. No matter who it was, they would feel indignant.
"Zhang Xuan and Wei Ruyan, the Hundred Schools of Philosophers have great use for these Bodhi Fruits. I hope that you can hand them over to us …"
The young man leading the group spat through gritted teeth.
"Break their limbs and toss them out!"
Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, those who dared to scheme against his students had to be punished accordingly.
"Got it!"
Jin Yuan Ding leaped forward and charged toward the eight of them.
It did not take long for him to sever their limbs and toss them out of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers Hall.
When they were at their peak, there was no way they would have feared Jin Yuan Ding. However, after being injured by Luo Qiqi, they were no longer able to retaliate.
"Teacher, I'll give these Bodhi Fruits to you. You can deal with them!"
Wei Ruyan said as she passed the Bodhi Fruits over to Zhang Xuan.
"Un." Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before taking out a Bodhi Fruit and passing it over to Luo Qiqi. "It's all thanks to you that we were able to obtain so many Bodhi Fruits. Take this one first, but don't rush into using it. I have a Soul Depth cultivation technique here. If you cultivate under this Bodhi Tree, your Soul Depth will swiftly rise to 29.9. After that, you can consume the Bodhi Fruit and push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!"
"Yes, teacher!" Wei Ruyan nodded.
With a tap of his finger, Zhang Xuan imparted the Soul Depth cultivation technique to Luo Qiqi.
"Zhao Ya, this is for you!"
Zhang Xuan took out another Bodhi Fruit and imparted the Soul Depth cultivation technique to Luo Qiqi as well.
Due to their unique constitutions, they were able to advance swiftly. However, it was inevitable that there would be some differences in their Soul Depth.
"Qiqi, this is for you …"
After making arrangements for the two students, Zhang Xuan took out another Bodhi Fruit and passed it over to Luo Qiqi.
Luo Qiqi had entered the Hundred Schools of Philosophers Hall earlier than them. Given her strength, she should have gotten a share of these Bodhi Fruits as well.
"Thank you!"
Luo Qiqi took the Bodhi Fruit and looked at Zhang Xuan with a complicated look in her eyes. "Zhang Shi …"
Seemingly knowing what she was going to say, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "I have once imparted you pill forging to you, and there is a deep bond between us. Emotions can't be controlled, but etiquette can't be disregarded. You should understand that it's impossible for anything to happen between us. What happened previously was just a misunderstanding, and I have already cleared it up with your Luo Clan. I also have someone that I like, so I hope that you can forgive me! "
Since he could not give her happiness, he might as well reject her decisively.
He didn't want to drag things out, and he didn't want to delay the other party's life either.
"I …"
Luo Qiqi's body swayed weakly.
By the side, Zhao Ya's face also darkened.
A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father!
A student could not have anything to do with their teacher, or else it would be considered a breach of etiquette.
As much as she wanted to pursue happiness, she couldn't disregard etiquette.
"Alright, to a cultivator, the most important thing is to grow stronger. You are still young, and you have a higher goal in life that you can pursue. You will surely meet someone more suitable than me in the future!"
Seeing the look on Luo Qiqi's face, Zhang Xuan smiled.
It was not that he was heartless, but if he didn't like her, there was nothing he could do about it.
"You all should cultivate here and raise your Soul Depth as soon as possible. I'll see if I can find Yuan Tao …"
Knowing that he needed to give them sufficient time, Zhang Xuan waved his hand. Just as he was about to finish his words, a telepathic message suddenly sounded in his mind. "Master, I can dig this tree out. Do you want to bring it along?"
"You want to dig it out?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"As the crux of a dimension, it's just a tree. Of course, I can take it away!" the koi fish replied proudly.
