In the room where Locke and Ivan were, Bu quietly observed the two sitting cross-legged after catalyzing the medicinal power within them with energy. He watched the different degrees of change that occurred as the medicinal power took effect, but this observation did not last long. Bu suddenly looked up, his expression strange, a glimmer of surprise in his eyes, accompanied by a hint of joy.
"The Crimson Lotus Incarnation truly lives up to being refined by the Earth Spirit. I initially thought that its energy cultivation speed was far superior to mine and could never reach a terrifying level, nor could it possibly enhance my own cultivation speed. But now it seems that I underestimated this Avatar; it has actually opened my Nineteenth Acupoint."
With excitement bubbling inside him, Bu Xin entered the attribute panel to check the current energy value of the Crimson Lotus Incarnation.
Forty-three Energy Value—compared to the initial sixteen Energy Value, in just a few breaths, the Crimson Lotus Incarnation had increased by twenty-seven Energy Value. This was simply unbelievable. Even more astonishing was that the energy of the Crimson Lotus Incarnation had not only increased but also provided some back to him. Although the amount of energy returned was small, even this little bit would take Bu at least half a month to cultivate if he were to do it step by step.
"With the constraints of Acupoints and meridians removed, the Crimson Lotus Incarnation faces no bottlenecks in energy cultivation. At least before breaking through to Level 1 Demigod, there is no need to worry about bottlenecks as long as there is a large amount of energy available for absorption. It can grow to a terrifying level, and it will also allow my own energy to accumulate rapidly, opening up my Acupoints one by one. However, this is merely my speculation; whether it is truly so requires further experimentation."
Bu's gaze flickered uncertainly as he took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and thinking calmly.
At that moment, Red-Haired Bu picked up another piece of Third-Grade Azure Jade and began his energy cultivation again, seemingly to verify a certain hypothesis.
This time, the duration was even shorter. After seven or eight breaths, the Third-Grade Azure Jade crumbled into powder, and its energy was completely absorbed by Red-Haired Bu.
"Indeed, it wasn't that simple this second time. The Crimson Lotus Incarnation only increased by eleven Energy Value—more than half less than the first time—and it only returned two points of energy to me. This was still from Third-Grade Azure Jade; if it were First-Grade Azure Jade, the effect would likely be even worse. With such a money-losing item, it seems I won't be able to afford anything in the future."
He rubbed his nose and sighed while shaking his head.
He knew things wouldn't be that simple. If the Crimson Lotus Incarnation could indeed increase by over twenty points of Energy Value with each piece of Third-Grade Azure Jade absorbed, then it wouldn't take long before, as long as there was enough Azure Jade, the Crimson Lotus Incarnation could recover its peak strength. He would also benefit from this process; his energy cultivation speed could potentially double or even increase tenfold. If that were true, it would be too outrageous.
Next, over the course of several minutes, Red-Haired Bu absorbed all the Azure Jade obtained from Gaia cleanly. Among these Azure Jades were twelve pieces of First-Grade Azure Jade, five pieces of Second-Grade Azure Jade, and four pieces of Third-Grade Azure Jade.
After absorbing all this energy from the Azure Jades, the Energy Value of the Crimson Lotus Incarnation rose to seventy-nine points. Essentially, as he progressed further along, the amount of energy gained decreased significantly. Meanwhile, due to this perplexing energy feedback, signs of loosening began to appear in his twentieth Acupoint. At this moment, when he checked his energy value again, it had reached an impressive one hundred ninety-six points.
Bu noticed while keeping track that after fully absorbing the first piece of First-Grade Azure Jade, the Crimson Lotus Incarnation increased by three points of Energy Value. After completely absorbing the second piece, it only increased by one point. By the third instance, it took four pieces of First-Grade Azure Jade for the Crimson Lotus Incarnation to gain just one point of Energy Value. This disparity left Bu speechless.
"With so much Azure Jade available for me to cultivate and absorb for months at full capacity, I didn't expect that once it fell into the hands of Crimson Lotus Incarnation, it wouldn't even be enough to last half an hour."
Bu was both in pain and joy. With so much Azure Jade, if he absorbed it step by step, it would be enough to open seven or eight Acupoints, but the time required would be too long.
"Forget it, a moment of time is worth a thousand gold, and even if I spend all my wealth, I can still regain it. What I lack the most is time. Although this feels a bit extravagant, as long as I can quickly enhance my strength in the shortest time possible, spending more Azure Jade is worth it." Bu gritted his teeth and recalled the pile of Azure Jade that Lange had given him.
"Lange gave me quite a bit of Azure Jade, and they are all above fourth grade. I might as well go all out and use wealth to pave the way. Let's see what level my strength can reach after absorbing these Azure Jades."
Thinking of this, Bu was not one to hesitate. He immediately left Locke and the others to continue absorbing the medicinal power within themselves while he returned to his room to begin his cultivation.
Among the Azure Jade that Lange had given him, there were over two hundred pieces of Fourth-Grade Azure Jade and forty-three pieces of Seven-Rank Azure Jade. Piled together, they were quite substantial. Bu did not recklessly use the Seven-Rank Azure Jade; instead, he took out two hundred pieces of Fourth-Grade Azure Jade, keeping one for his own energy cultivation and giving the rest to Crimson Lotus Incarnation.
"With so much Azure Jade of good quality, I refuse to believe I can't make progress."
Looking at the few remaining pieces of Azure Jade in his Storage Bracelet, Bu Xin felt pain while his tone became gritted with teeth. Watching Crimson Lotus Incarnation hold the Azure Jade in hand as its contained energy rapidly decreased made his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
"Damn it, this egg," he muttered under his breath. Bu decided to grab some Azure Jade and enter a state of cultivation, as it seemed that only this could alleviate the pain that was making his heart bleed and provide him with some comfort away from sight.
Time flowed like sand through fingers, passing swiftly. By the next morning, as the cold winter sunlight slowly seeped into the room, Bu gradually awakened from his cultivation state.
"Ha," he exhaled a breath of stale air and stretched lazily. A series of cracking sounds erupted from his joints. Although he hadn't slept all night and didn't feel exhausted, maintaining a seated position for such a long time was inevitably tedious.
After all, he had only been in Fran Continent for about a month. Having such strong adaptability and continuously pushing himself forward was already remarkable.
His gaze shifted to Crimson Lotus Incarnation, who stood silently by the window. The sunlight illuminated his red hair, giving off a dazzlingly enchanting aura. It seemed that he had spent the night standing there quietly, but Bu knew what Hong Lian had done during that time.
In less than two hours, Crimson Lotus Incarnation absorbed all one hundred ninety-nine pieces of Fourth-Grade Azure Jade cleanly. The energy contained within these Azure Jades merged into Hong Lian's body, gradually raising his Energy Value to four hundred eighty-five points. Through an energy feedback process that even Bu did not understand, his own energy increased by over fifty points, and he had opened up twenty-five Acupoints within himself.
When absorbing the ninth piece of Fourth-Grade Azure Jade, it seemed that the energy provided by each piece had stabilized. Afterward, for a full one hundred ninety pieces of Fourth-Grade Azure Jade, each piece could only provide an increase of two points in Energy Value for Crimson Lotus Incarnation.
For a total of one hundred ninety-nine Fourth-Grade Azure Jades, he obtained four hundred eighty-five points of Energy Value, equivalent to opening forty-eight Acupoints. In this state of the Crimson Lotus Incarnation, combined with terrifying attribute values, he could easily slay an Intermediate Level 4 powerhouse. Even the top-tier individuals among Intermediate Level 4 would not be his match.
"Ah, two hundred Fourth-Grade Azure Jades, and there's only this one left. If I were to spend some time slowly absorbing two hundred Azure Jades, it would be enough for me to cultivate to Intermediate Level 4. But right now, the cost-effectiveness is just too low."
Looking at the still translucent and warm Azure Jade in his hand, Bu Ku shook his head with a smile. He glanced at the Crimson Lotus Incarnation and gradually shifted his focus to the several Combat Skills he had learned last night.
The Crimson Lotus Incarnation retained a mark of his Mental Power within, allowing it to act instinctively without needing Bu Ku's deliberate control most of the time. This instinct came from Bu Ku himself and included the ability to think, reason, fight, and cultivate independently; it was essentially a clone of Bu Ku, not only identical in appearance but also in memory and personality.
Last night, after absorbing all the energy from the Azure Jade, Hong Lian (this will be its name from now on) ventured out to try out the newly learned Combat Skills. With its impressive Mental Power reaching eighty-one points, its comprehension of skills was exceptionally strong. After just a few attempts at using them, it completely mastered the application of three new skills.
Moreover, because Hong Lian shared memories with Bu Ku, this familiarity naturally existed in Bu Ku's mind as if he had experienced it himself.
"Unfortunately, Hong Lian is ultimately an Avatar; I am the master while it is the assistant. The roles cannot be reversed. Otherwise, I could simply hand over the Skill Book for it to learn. With its Mental Power, it could definitely master skills beyond the sixth level. Still, my own strength is too weak, greatly limiting Hong Lian's speed of improvement."
Reflecting on this regretful aspect, Bu Ku sighed and raised his hand to summon the Crimson Lotus Incarnation, which shrank down to palm size and was stored in his Storage Bracelet.
Today marked the second day after the Peak Showdown ended. Bu Ku planned to return to the Aldra Family today and take Wendy with him. Remembering the adorable appearance of the girl made him feel as if he could hear her melodious laughter ringing in his ears.
