Chapter 626: 338 First Trial_2

She continually adjusted herself through repeated attacks, seeking a better way to retaliate, until she finally severed the tenth stalk on her fifty-first try! At that moment, the dense fog around her suddenly dissipated, retreating to about a meter away from her. Fang Yuxin looked down and saw the red viscous substances hanging on the green wall formed by Red Powder. The sticky substances were only small segments, exactly what she had chopped off from those red elongated bodies, which were still writhing in struggle despite being bound by Red Powder.

The sharp spikes of Red Powder fiercely pierced into the sticky substances, but the neurotoxin released from the spikes did nothing to them; they kept writhing relentlessly.

To Fang Yuxin’s surprise, Red Powder actually bloomed, extending its pistils to bite and absorb the red sticky bodies. She hesitated for a moment, then struck one of the sticky portions with True Yuan, which was brimming with vitality. As soon as it hit the sticky body, it suddenly dissolved into red mist and was absorbed by Red Powder.

Fang Yuxin was somewhat worried and couldn’t help but ask Red Powder, "Red Powder, how are you? Are you alright?"

Unexpectedly, Red Powder responded, "Not, liking it, really liking it."

Fang Yuxin was astonished. What exactly were these weird red sticky substances that were impervious to fire yet could be dissolved by her True Yuan and even absorbed by Red Powder? Moreover, from what Red Powder implied, these substances seemed beneficial to it.

Fang Yuxin suddenly thought that since Red Powder was a mutant plant, belonged to the wood element, and feared fire, these red sticky substances that were not afraid of flames might grant Red Powder the quality of fire resistance if absorbed. If so, absorbing these red sticky substances would indeed be greatly beneficial to Red Powder!

However, without giving it much more thought, a new attack began—this time, eleven stalks! But this time, Fang Yuxin was prepared. At the sound of the whooshing, she dispersed True Yuan as Spirit Fog around her body. Although light and seemingly unable to serve as defense, the speed of the red elongated bodies slowed down when they came close to the Spirit Fog.

This was exactly what Fang Yuxin needed! Although there were as many as eleven stalks, their reduced speed made them much easier to deal with! Fang Yuxin didn’t expend much effort and easily took care of them.

The severed parts fell and were tightly entangled by Red Powder’s vines, constantly absorbing them. Then, the new attacks began!

Twelve stalks, thirteen, fourteen...a hundred!

By the time the number of attacking stalks reached one hundred, the True Yuan in Fang Yuxin’s Dantian was nearly depleted, unable to sustain any longer. Initially, she only needed to set up a small amount of Spirit Fog to effectively slow the stalks, but gradually, as their numbers increased, she had to use more True Yuan to cut them down!

If not for the peculiar seed residing in her Dantian, forming a cyclone continuously absorbing surrounding Spiritual Energy, she wouldn’t have been able to hold out till now!

With her Dantian about to be exhausted, a flash of white light suddenly crossed her vision, and the next moment, she was back in the main hall. Then she discovered that, along with herself, everyone else had also emerged from the hall and was sitting on the Spirit Gathering Array, absorbing Crystal Cores to recover.

She glanced around, relieved to see her family was alright, then took out the Crystal Cores. The ones she had given to Fang Yuyang earlier were not entirely used up; the leftover Crystal Cores Fang Yuyang had returned to her, which were now perfectly handy.

Fang Yuxin closed her eyes and meditated. Gradually, she noticed that the peculiar seed in her Dantian seemed to be stirring. Perhaps triggered by the imminent depletion of her Dantian, the seed started to rotate within it, and as it spun, the cyclone around it grew bit by bit. Simultaneously, Fang Yuxin found her speed of absorbing Crystal Cores increased!

The cyclone swelled to twice its original size before stopping. At that point, the peculiar seed also ceased to rotate, remaining still, continually absorbing the True Yuan she was refining.

When Fang Yuxin emerged from cultivating, it was already 8 PM. She instinctively turned to check on the others and saw that Fang Jintang, Qu Qianhe, and Bai Qianqian were all present, but Fang Yuyang was no longer in the hall. Upon asking, she learned that after recovering, he had re-entered the trial land.

Fang Yuxin didn’t feel worried. The trial land was evidently exquisitely designed, automatically transferring them out once they could no longer endure, so Fang Yuyang would definitely be fine there. His active return to cultivation likely stemmed from his desire to achieve Foundation Establishment and advance his strength as quickly as possible.

At that moment, feeling hungry, she simply went to the Alchemy Room to cook. After stewing a pot of cordyceps chicken soup, roasting a whole lamb, preparing some light dishes, and steaming rice, she finished cooking just as Fang Yuyang emerged from the trial land. After meditating, he joined her for dinner, rested briefly, then re-entered the trial land.

Fang Yuxin did not wish for Fang Yuyang to overexert himself so. In her previous life, Fang Yuyang had protected her tirelessly, constantly alternating between cultivating and seeking various resources, hardly ever resting. Now that she had finally succeeded in altering their fate, she had hoped her family could lead a peaceful and happy life, yet unexpectedly, Fang Yuyang still turned into a cultivation fanatic.

What Fang Yuxin didn’t know was that Fang Yuyang was thinking—if he successfully established his foundation and his cultivation surpassed Bai Ye’s, he was determined to teach that bastard a harsh lesson!(To be continued.
