"Who would have thought that accumulating the Royal Family's Dragon Qi would have such an effect? It's quite a pleasant surprise," Yang Xiaoyou thought, even as a piercing pain shot through his arm.
At this moment, a sense of reflection surfaced in his heart.
In terms of willpower, he realized that the trials of life and death he had experienced now were far less than those in his memories.
The improvement in his strength was primarily due to his foresight and the experiences gained from two lifetimes.
Even in his previous life, during a similar situation when he catalyzed the regeneration of a severed limb, the pain had nearly driven him to the brink of collapse.
This time, he gritted his teeth and made this choice because the special circumstances in the Spirit Realm had increased his confidence. He estimated that the level of pain would make him cry.
However, when he actually put it into practice, Yang Xiaoyou discovered that due to the resonance and assimilation of the Royal Dragon Qi, there was a certain degree of relief from the pain. Although he needed to actively control it and could not completely block it out, it was still within his tolerable range.
To be honest, Yang Xiaoyou initially didn't quite understand how he had absorbed that almost natural force of Dragon Qi.
But the benefits brought by this Dragon Qi were indeed substantial.
If he could fully recover, combined with the royal treasures and the artifacts from the Daoist Association, his chances of success would increase significantly.
Yet just as Yang Xiaoyou focused on shaping his arm with willpower while daydreaming to lessen the pain, a chunk of concrete suddenly fell on his head, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Looking up, he was at a loss for words as he noticed an arched hole in the ceiling. Through the opening, he could see two identical heads peering down at him with completely different expressions.
One looked bewildered and slightly curious.
The other bore a nostalgic yet morbid expression.
This discovery made Yang Xiaoyou's mouth twitch involuntarily, and a sense of alertness arose within him. What did that fellow mean by bringing over his other persona?
Moreover, how could making a hole without him noticing be so exaggerated? Even if he was distracted, it seemed too much. And Feng Lin was outside; it appeared he hadn't noticed either.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Yang Xiaoyou felt an invisible force spreading from the opening above, enveloping the entire room.
The spiritual fluctuation was quite strange, somewhat reminiscent of his own mental domain.
However, in contrast to combat and aggression, this peculiar stance seemed to completely isolate the room from the outside world, as if the entire room had transformed into a separate space.
This was not merely a space within a mental state; it was a complete shroud that severed the existence of the real world. In terms of technical complexity and difficulty, it was even higher!
At the very least, Yang Xiaoyou knew that achieving this was challenging for him. Well, it also had something to do with the fact that this style didn't quite suit him.
He observed four floating jade pendants surrounding the two figures, slowly drifting down from above. Two identical yet eerily beautiful silhouettes exuded entirely different auras. The impact and shock they generated were incredibly strong!
The allure had multiplied!
Yang Xiaoyou leaned casually against the edge of a wooden tub and glanced at the two with indifference. "What? Do you think bringing this Fool here means I won't attack you? This Lin Girl is not just a burden; she can become an important combat force. Your clone seems to be lacking in strength as well."
"Hehe, last time I didn't want to meet you mainly because of those cumbersome physical weapons. You can't carry those around all the time. Besides, do you even have the strength left to resist anything now?"
With a snap of her fingers, the four jade pendants scattered like they were embedded into the void. The somewhat sickly Dream Butterfly spoke in an eerie tone.
Beside her, that Fool nodded in agreement, causing Yang Xiaoyou to frown. He couldn't understand why this fellow seemed so pleased with herself; it appeared they had some sort of united front.
This was rather troubling news!
"Don't think about creating any commotion to attract that witch inside. The barrier I've created doesn't merely encompass your mental domain; everything happening in this room—even complete Destruction—won't alert anyone outside. It's not as simple as just masking your presence."
Seemingly aware of Yang Xiaoyou's intentions, Dream Butterfly waved her long, delicate fingers dismissively, completely dispelling his original plan.
"Hmph! Just because I don't want to make a move now doesn't mean I lack the ability to do so; I simply don't want to waste this opportunity for healing! Don't play with fire." As her eyes narrowed, Yang Xiaoyou's tone gradually turned cold.
Previously, he would have welcomed an opportunity to confront Dream Butterfly directly and showcase his personal strength while avoiding weaknesses.
But given his current situation, he was equally reluctant to take such a significant risk.
"Ah, it's all over fifty years old in terms of potency. With this formula, I don't believe you have the ability to stop midway. By the way, do you feel that new surge of energy relieving your pain? Actually, it's just an illusion; it's merely because this force has just been absorbed and hasn't fully integrated yet, creating a kind of barrier to your perception. Moreover, Dragon Qi itself is quite a peculiar type of energy."
In the face of Yang Xiaoyou's threat, Dream Butterfly seemed completely unfazed, instead smiling charmingly.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but feel a slight tightening in his heart. Could it be that this fellow had tampered with the medicinal materials? No wonder they were all so aged!
After secretly checking his own sensations, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath. Just as Dream Butterfly had said, the thick potion was indeed activating his cells in an extremely intense manner!
In truth, such high potency wasn't even necessary. Whether it was the aged medicinal materials or Feng Lin's concoction, either one alone would be enough to make him start absorbing the effects actively and be unable to stop midway!
Now that both were combined, he found himself utterly unable to extricate himself.
At the same time, the Dragon Qi within him that hadn't been fully digested seemed to be stirred up as if provoked by Dream Butterfly's presence.
It surged directly toward his lower body, instantly giving Yang Xiaoyou a feeling of explosion. The originally eerie and stunning Dream Butterfly now appeared even more enchanting in his eyes.
"Well, I'm actually just afraid that if things go awry, we might end up playing ourselves to death together. So I'll leave a little something for myself first; consider it a gift for you," Dream Butterfly teased with a shrug. However, her smile took on a somewhat seductive quality as she patted beside her dazed host.
I managed to push out another chapter... I can't resist the urge to sleep now... Hope everyone had a good Children's Day!
