Chapter 1088 - Chapter 1088 Chapter 1087 Seizing the Sacred Qi

Chapter 1088: Chapter 1087: Seizing the Sacred Qi Chapter 1088: Chapter 1087: Seizing the Sacred Qi A streak of black light shone from Fang Lin’s chest, which was the Kylin pattern branded on his chest, actually responding to the Kylin Demon Bone.

“Hmm?” Great Sage Equal to Heaven glanced at the black light on Fang Lin’s chest, pausing slightly, and then his expression turned to one of surprise.

“Unexpectedly, this youngster has such good fortune. Not only has he acquired Sacred Qi in his body, but even the Demon Bone has been nourished by Sacred Qi,” Great Sage Equal to Heaven said, his eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

As Great Sage Equal to Heaven had said, the Kylin Demon Bone within Fang Lin also began to absorb Sacred Qi.

This absorption, like a starving man desperate for food, frantically plundered the Sacred Qi, even affecting the Old Dried Corpse’s share, diverting away a part of it.

“Good fellow! This Kylin Demon Bone actually absorbs Sacred Qi as well. However, for you kid, it’s also an indirect absorption of Sacred Qi,” Old Dried Corpse exclaimed in surprise, having not anticipated this situation.

“Will there be any impact from the Demon Bone absorbing Sacred Qi?” Fang Lin asked.

Old Dried Corpse explained, “There shouldn’t be. The Kylin Demon Bone is extraordinary; for it, this Sacred Qi might be a major tonic, and its effects aren’t likely to be weaker than that of Kylin blood.”

Fang Lin, hearing this, felt somewhat relieved. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t absorb Sacred Qi himself; letting the Kylin Demon Bone absorb it was akin to him absorbing it as well.

Of course, when the Kylin Demon Bone absorbed Sacred Qi, it was the bone itself that improved, and Fang Lin still couldn’t utilize even a trace of Sacred Qi.

But as the Kylin Demon Bone grew stronger, it was equivalent to Fang Lin growing stronger, so he still benefited from it.

Of course, compared to the benefits of directly absorbing Sacred Qi, it wasn’t as significant, but since Fang Lin himself couldn’t absorb Sacred Qi, he had to settle for the next best thing. It’s certainly better than coming away empty-handed.

So now, both the Old Dried Corpse and the Kylin Demon Bone needed Sacred Qi, and at the moment, they both began to vie for the Sacred Qi entering Fang Lin’s body.

No sooner had the Sacred Qi entered Fang Lin’s body than these two fellows had divided it up completely, which also meant a significant reduction in pressure for Fang Lin, making him much more comfortable.

Fang Lin might have been comfortable, but He Jinfeng and the other six were not.

The reason was simple: they had found that the amount of Sacred Qi they could absorb had decreased yet again.

What they could now absorb of Sacred Qi was less than a third of what it was at the beginning; what had been a mighty river was now reduced to a trickle.

In contrast to Fang Lin, Sacred Qi was practically flooding into his body like it was free of charge–a spectacular sight to behold.

This disparity was a bit too large; the seven of them together probably didn’t absorb as much as Fang Lin did on his own.

“This is too much! No, it’s too much for a demon!” bellowed a man with exceptionally thick arms, his expression one of extreme frustration.

The man with the black face and the others were upset as well, wishing they could kick Fang Lin out right then and there. Unfortunately, they were all in the process of absorbing Sacred Qi and were unable to move, so they could only watch as Fang Lin snatched away what was originally theirs.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven, standing on the outside watching this scene, found it quite interesting. It was his first time seeing someone able to pilfer the Sacred Qi of others while cultivating under the Sacred Tree.

Although such behavior indeed seemed somewhat overbearing, there was no rule stating that one could not rob another’s Sacred Qi while cultivating under the Sacred Tree.

Fang Lin’s actions wouldn’t be stopped by Great Sage Equal to Heaven; in his opinion, if you have the capability, take as much as you want. If you don’t, you just have to endure being bullied.

For He Jinfeng and the others, it was a bitter pill to swallow. They had come under the Sacred Tree to cultivate, so how could they suddenly lose most of their Sacred Qi to someone else out of the blue?

“Fang Lin, don’t go too far!” the dark-faced man finally could not restrain himself and shouted at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin turned to glance at him, and then that was it, he continued to sit there with the relaxed demeanor of an old god.

The dark-faced man was so angry he felt like vomiting blood, and the few other young geniuses of the Demon Clan, each with an ugly expression, stared daggers at Fang Lin.

“Kid, this bone is really troublesome, it’s taken away more than half of the Sacred Qi, slowing down the regeneration of my flesh considerably,” complained the Old Dried Corpse.

Fang Lin said annoyed in his heart, “You’ve taken quite a bit yourself, and who knows how much Sacred Qi you need to regenerate your flesh?”

The Old Dried Corpse coughed dryly, “Not much, roughly absorbing it for ten days and a half should be enough, and any more would be superfluous.”

Fang Lin frowned, “Why would it be superfluous? Could it be that even with so much Sacred Qi, your flesh can’t be completely regenerated?”

The Old Dried Corpse sighed, “My flesh has suffered grave injuries, Sacred Qi can only restore part of it, but to completely regenerate, I must have the Nirvana Pill.”

Hearing this, Fang Lin became even more curious, “Then who caused this injury to you? You are a Demon Saint, so powerful, who could have hurt you like this?”

The Old Dried Corpse gave a bitter smile, “It must not be said.”

Without an answer from the Old Dried Corpse, Fang Lin did not ask further, but in his mind, the number of people capable of severely injuring the Old Dried Corpse, the Demon Saint, and suppressing his flesh for so many years, were very few, Fang Lin could count them on one hand.

His own father could be one, then there were Mo Shouhe and Hou Yi, all capable of such a feat. Other than these three, Fang Lin did not know of anyone else.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

He Jinfeng and the dark-faced man were in very bad moods, the Sacred Qi they could absorb had become pitifully low.

On the other hand, at Fang Lin’s side, the situation was quite magnificent, Sacred Qi surged in like a spring, continuously flowing into his body.

This discrepancy was such that even He Jinfeng, who generally had a good temperament, was finding it hard to endure.

It was simply too much, Sacred Qi wasn’t meant for him alone, why should he seize the Sacred Qi that belonged to others?

Nevertheless, they had no choice but to express their inner anger in words.

Naturally, Fang Lin would not care about how angry they were, moreover, it wasn’t Fang Lin who wanted to cause this situation, it was the Old Dried Corpse and the Kylin Demon Bone being too domineering, competing for the Sacred Qi, that had caused the current state of affairs.

One could say, Fang Lin was wronged.

Even after the Kylin Demon Bone had absorbed Sacred Qi for seven days, no particularly obvious changes occurred, at least Fang Lin could not sense any.

But according to what the Old Dried Corpse had said, the Kylin Demon Bone being nourished by the Sacred Qi would benefit no less than the Kylin blood had.

The reason no change could be seen now was because the Sacred Qi was only accumulating inside the Demon Bone and had yet to be truly refined by the Kylin Demon Bone.

After all, this was Sacred Qi, not a common force, and even the Kylin Demon Bone required a process of refinement to transform the Sacred Qi into the true power of the Demon Bone.

The Kylin Demon Bone was like a bottomless pit, seemingly no amount of Sacred Qi could fill it; even the Old Dried Corpse felt somewhat surprised, as the Kylin Demon Bone seemed to be absorbing a bit too much.
