Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger-Chapter 290 - 288: Inner Emptiness

Dragon Clan frontline, a colossal river of time that could cover an entire world appeared.

Wangan emerged from the river of time, his aura exuding a sense of weakness.

"Resurrecting with only half of my origin, feels quite uncomfortable!" Wangan grabbed five Divine Origin Holy Pills and swallowed them.

This caused the surrounding Dragon Clan Second Realm powerhouses to stare in astonishment.

"A Holy Pill that can resurrect a Second Realm powerhouse! Could it be made by the noble Xu Saint Master?" The leading Dragon Clan Second Realm powerhouse exclaimed in amazement.

He knew only two things about the Human Clan’s trump cards; one was these two individuals whose strength far surpassed the average Second Realm powerhouse, and the other was that Alchemist with astonishing talent in the Alchemy Dao.

"I bought it from the Heavenly Mechanism Clan, one for 2300 Purple Coins." Wangan grinned and said.

At this moment, within the Human Clan Territory, Xu Feng’s physique seemed extremely weak.

Lying in a spring of Dao Origin within the Secret Realm, he was slowly recovering.

"Deadly, I never expected that two Second Realm Resurrection Pills would drain so much of my origin, especially in terms of karma." A weak Xu Feng frowned slightly.

After crafting two Second Realm Resurrection Pills, his entire origin and Immortal Spirit Qi were instantly depleted, causing him to faint in the Alchemy Realm for half an hour.

"This consumption, it’s equivalent to crafting tens of thousands of Divine Origin Holy Pills."

"My own realm is still too low," Xu Feng said, exhaling deeply.

The millstone-sized Golden Armored Spirit Turtle came beside Xu Feng, rubbing its head against Xu Feng’s cheek submerged in the hot spring.

"Master, next time we perform alchemy, let’s merge together and share our origin," the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle suggested.

"Merging..." Xu Feng hesitated.

In the path of beast mastery, there was a Divine Skill that allowed merging with a controlled beast, although it would cause some changes in form.

Before becoming an Alchemist, Xu Feng had secretly tried it, but after merging, the turtle shell and baldness were indeed unbearable to look at.

"We’ll talk about this later; I’ll call you if needed."

In the hot spring, two strikingly beautiful maids attended to Xu Feng, feeding him peeled Immortal Fruits.

"Xiao Jin, how have things been on your junior brother’s side lately?" Xu Feng asked leisurely.

"There are frequent conflicts, but under the protection of Human Clan powerhouses, there’s no real danger." Turtle son slowly began to eat a bunch of purple jade grapes he picked from the fruit tray.

"Master, I really want to advance to the next level quickly so that I can help you," Turtle son said.

During this time following Xu Ming in various battles, he also understood the difficulties his master and the Human Clan were facing.

"There’s no need to rush; growth takes time, and all strength requires time."

"Once you reach the Second Realm, your master will fear nothing," Xu Feng said, touching Turtle son’s head, his tone filled with emotion.

Just then, Xiao Junyi’s voice rang in Xu Feng’s ear.

"Xu Saint Master, what’s wrong?" Xiao Junyi asked urgently.

He had just received a message from Xiao Hei, reporting that Xu Saint Master’s aura appeared weak, likely due to damage to his origin.

"Crafting the Second Realm Resurrection Pill caused a significant backlash, and my origin was somewhat damaged; I need some time to recover," Xu Feng replied.

"Xu Saint Master, take good care of yourself. I’ll collect some objects to replenish your origin for you."

Not long after, Xiao Hei transported over a pile of Spirit Fruits borne by Innate Spiritual Root Fruit Trees.

Even the Spiritual Peach from the same Xuanhuang Peach Tree of Innate Spirit Root that Xu Feng had once eaten were sent over - three of them.

Looking at these three juicy peaches, Xu Feng suddenly recalled the promise he made to the Xuanhuang Peach Tree from the Moonlight Sacred Land.

"Xiao Hei, what does the Xuanhuang Peach Tree in Moonlight Sacred Land currently lack?" Xu Feng asked leisurely.

"It lacks the Power of Life Origin, which is why the Xuanhuang Peach Tree has been stuck at the Intermediate Innate Spirit Root stage."

"If master wishes to resolve this good karma, crafting three Heavenly Wood Elixirs will suffice," Xiao Hei said.

"Alright, when I’ve recovered and am not busy, remind me."

"Unfortunately, my great endeavor to earn wealth has been obstructed before it even began."

Xu Feng, while being served Spirit Fruits by maids on either side, lay amidst soft and delicate comforts.

An hour after Wangang was resurrected, and soon after his recovery, he visited Xu Feng in Taichu Sacred Land.

Sensing Xu Feng’s still somewhat weak aura, Wangang scratched his head and said, "How about I go out and hunt a few Divine Beasts to replenish you?"

"Inner weakness, natural recovery is best!" Xu Feng waved his hand.

"Wangang seems to have recovered well; it appears the Resurrection Pill Recipe deduced worked as anticipated," Xu Feng assessed Wangang.

"Don’t call me senior, from now on just call me elder brother."

"Old Qing said that you, me, and Old Qing are peers now!"

"From now on, call me Brother Wang. If anyone disagrees, they can take it up with me," Wangang said resolutely, his gaze lovingly fixed on Xu Feng.

"Little brother Xu, this time not only did you save Old Qing, but you also fulfilled my original wish."

"No need for thanks, from now on, the treasure vault of Wangang Immortal Sect and my personal vault are open to you."

"Take whatever you like, it’d be my honor to have them emptied!" Wangang gratefully said.

"There’s no need for such gesture," Xu Feng quickly responded, waving his hands.

"Anyway, I have already given Xiao Hei the access rights; just take whatever you need."

As Wangang spoke, he gently lifted his hand, in the palm of which the Artifact Spirit of a shrunken Innate Spiritual Treasure Battleship appeared.

Surrounding the Artifact Spirit, a golden divine bird circled around.

"This is the Innate Spirit Boat from the Heavenly Divine Clan I destroyed, sadly another Innate Treasure slipped away."

"I know little brother has an Innate Spiritual Treasure Battleship, but one can never have too many."

"When you travel later on, feel free to alternate using them, they’re good for gifts too."

"There’s also something great I’ve prepared for little brother aboard the grand vessel," Wangang revealed with a knowing smile.

Captivated by this intriguing smile, Xu Feng couldn’t help but take the Innate Spirit Boat.

"There’s also a bunch of Acquired Spirit Treasure Level Spirit Swords I’ve collected on the battleship, little brother Xu can play around with sword arrays in his free time."

"The Sea Spirit Clan is causing some trouble by the coast, so I won’t disturb your rest," Wangang said as he stepped away and disappeared.

Xu Feng looked at the shrunken Innate Spiritual Treasure-level battleship in his hand, torn between laughter and tears.

At that moment, another figure appeared beside Xu Feng.

"Greetings, Saint Master."

"No need for formalities, if it weren’t for your Resurrection Pill allowing Wangang to break the seal, I might still be in the River of Time, amassing True Spirit."

"Saint Master Xu, on behalf of the Human Clan, I thank you." The Saint Master formally bowed to Xu Feng.

This made Xu Feng feel unexpectedly honored and flustered.

"Saint Master, I was merely fulfilling my duties; such reverence from you overwhelms me."

With the Saint Master’s bow, Xu Feng felt the entire fate of the Human Clan converging upon him.

"You are worthy of it."

A blue vial appeared in front of Xu Feng.

"This is the last bit of my reserved Hongmeng Qi, initially kept in case I needed it for restoration in the River of Time."

"Now it is unnecessary. Saint Master Xu, take it. You can make greater use of it."
