Chapter 226: Chapter 148: Reshaping My Sister-in-Law’s Demon Pill (True)

You Su’s eyes widened, his breath caught.

Taisui was arguably his greatest secret, second only to the True Lord, a secret he had deliberately kept hidden from everyone except his junior sister.

But who would have thought this seemingly harmless little fish could see right through his secret with just one glance!

"Who exactly are you?" You Su’s voice was as cold as ice.

"I am the Water Deity," the little white fish calmly swam in a circle, "Taisui is a treasure even the Master of Flesh and Blood covets, yet you, boy, have obtained it. You’d better be careful. Just because humans might not discover it, doesn’t mean we can’t."

We... does that refer to malicious spirits?

"Why tell me these things?"

You Su frowned slightly; if the power of Taisui was so formidable, why was this small white fish not tempted and instead chose to remind him to protect himself?

"Hey, are you going to save her or not?"

The little white fish swam downward, and You Su then noticed Ji Xueruo’s distorted, unrecognizable face. The black blood vessels stood out starkly against her fair skin, and even though she was clearly unconscious, she still gritted her teeth, struggling to hold on to something.

Because of her similar appearance, You Su seemed to see Ji Lingruo in pain, which made him feel an excruciating heartache.

"But... even if I have the power of Taisui, how am I supposed to reform her Demon Pill?"

You Su recalled that his junior sister’s empty body had once again formed a Demon Pill, but that was a voluntary gift from Taisui, and he had no idea how Taisui had achieved it.

"Taisui has integrated into your body, can’t you just transfer something from yourself into her?" The little white fish swayed its translucent tail in the air, casually suggesting a way to save the girl.

But to You Su, the method sounded bizarre, inevitably reminding him of the time he practiced Dual Cultivation with his junior sister in the dark coffin... Was the power of Taisui transferred to his junior sister through his yang essence?

Though Miss Ji and his junior sister had the same face, she was ultimately not his junior sister... Moreover, she wasn’t just anyone, but his junior sister’s elder sister...

"If transferring something from me works, can I give her some of my blood to drink?"

The little white fish rolled its eyes at You Su: "No." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"What if I cut off a piece of my flesh for her to eat?"

The little white fish huffed twice: "You just possess the power of Taisui, but you’re not actually Taisui!"

"Then..."

"Stop! Although Taisui belongs to the category of flesh and blood malevolent spirits, it is particularly unique. If one must classify it, it doesn’t even belong to the three main categories. It’s merely because its most potent function is in the area of flesh and blood that it’s categorized as such. In reality, it doesn’t directly act on flesh and blood; it merges with your origin. Therefore, if you rely on your flesh and blood to heal her, she might have to drain every drop of your blood and eat all your flesh." The little white fish glanced at You Su and continued, "As for how you will share your origin with her, figure it out yourself."

Hearing this, You Su remained silent for a long time.

The concept of origin has different interpretations across various cultivation sects, with the most prevalent belief being that there is Profound Qi in the heavens and earth, and within the human body is Primordial Qi, which is the essence enabling survival and cultivation.

Primordial Qi is one, giving birth to the energies of yin and yang, and the combination of yin and yang energies forms the third state, which externalizes as humans. The process of one, two, and three continues in a cycle, giving birth to all things.

But mobilizing Primordial Qi is extremely challenging because it is the source of life, and the body’s natural mechanism is to protect its origin. The Immortal Seed touches upon Primordial Qi, hence why even Venerable practitioners of the Void Realm vastly expend their resources while casting it.

But You Su, who is in the Spirit Platform Realm, can’t perform such a mystical skill as the Immortal Seed. The road available to him seems to lead in only one direction...

Yang essence and yin essence are the tangible manifestations of the yin and yang energies within the human body, and thus, the external products of Primordial Qi.

But can he really do such a thing to Miss Ji?

This is more than a question of whether to sacrifice a woman’s purity to save someone; it’s a question of whether to break ethical taboos...

Seeing You Su’s silence, the little white fish became somewhat impatient:

"Hey, if she’s really not your little lover, then forget her; let’s go already, shall we? We have to escape, and it was no easy task for me to get out, yet here you are, bringing me back again, it’s infuriating."

"If I don’t save her, will she remain like this forever?"

"Once the Divine Blood enters the brain, it is impossible to defy, and she will completely become the thrall of the fake deity below, either as its food or as a vessel for its descent. So I advise you to leave her here to fend for herself, or risk bringing trouble upon others."

Divine Blood... is that what flows within those pitch-black blood vessels?

At this point, the Divine Blood had nearly reached Ji Xueruo’s temples, and the situation could not wait any longer.

You Su suddenly took a deep breath, calming all his thoughts, and asked solemnly:

"How do I cut the leg?"

The little white fish circled around him with interest and said:

"Looks like you are quite taken with her, that’s the spirit; you and I are of the same kind. In times when deities are prevalent, when you fancy a mother goddess, you would go straight up to mate, wouldn’t you? Who hesitates like you? If you keep hesitating, who knows how many cycles of eggs would have been laid by now."

You Su twitched his mouth; the ’god’ in the little white fish’s words was probably what the human race considered a powerful malevolent spirit. However, an evil being would not call itself evil; it would self-title as a god. He hadn’t considered that even malevolent spirits required mating.

"If I’m not mistaken, your collision with our ship wasn’t accidental; it was premeditated. You noticed that I possess the power of Taisui and discovered that using the Exorcism Order on me could conceal your aura, so the water deity below wouldn’t find you. You knew that merely fleeing wouldn’t get you far on your own. The reason you were willing to follow me back to the Jade Ring Pool was that you believed I could be of use to you to overthrow the fake deity below."
