Kapitel 255: Chapter 248: Duan Li's internal state!
Since he was the first one to ever beat the Clone, there ought to be some kind of a prize right?
"Well, now that you mentioned it, there is indeed a prize for you." the Clone thought for a while before it flipped its palm, revealing a golden talisman.
Oh?
Staring at the Golden Talisman, Duan Li soon came into a realization as his eyes widened.
"Could that be..."
"En! This is the Ethereal Golden Talisman. To put it plainly, this is like another me and its main ability is to copy its designated target!" the Clone said.
It then continued, "However, in terms of its copying ability, its far more inferior to me as its ego is still mechanical! You can have a try and see for yourself!"
The clone said those with a hint of pride in its tone, and this pride of his was not misplaced either.
After all, he had been around copying cultivators for countless of years. The resulting accumulation created this current ego of his, not to mention that he was specifically modified by the Grand Immortal himself to suit the needs of this trial!
If people were to not know any better, they might just think that he was a true human!
Duan Li pondered for a while before shaking his head.
"I'll try it later. Right now, I'm more interested in getting out of here. Quickly summon the Golden vortex for me so I can complete the stone pedestal. I'm a little bit concerned about how much time had passed in the outside world right now." Duan Li said decisively.
Hearing this, the Clone was visibly dejected. "You're leaving so soon? It has been a while since I had so much fun.. so, why don't you stay for a moment or two? Perhaps three?"
Duan Li's mouth twitched.
'I would also like to stay a little bit longer to see if I can plunder anything valuable here if possible, but unfortunately, I am almost at my limit!'
Majority of his meridians and Qi pathways had ruptured and his remaining strength is leaving him at every second as they spoke right now. With utmost difficulty, it already took him everything to not fall over and twitch like a roasted worm on the ground!
"How about this, I'll come over again next time! I am beginning to understand the connective layout of the Eternal maze already, and I should be able to return sometime in the near future!" Duan Li bullsh*tted his way through with a convincing look.
As expected, the Clone was elated when it heard this!
Cupping its chin, the Clone finally nodded after a moment, before a golden vortex appeared beside him.
Wengg!!
"Well, I'll be waiting then! I also know a thing or two about the current state of affairs of the outside world from the limited knowledge I copied off you.. it seems to be quite dire if I must say so. Thus, I shan't impose on you any longer!"
I've been waiting for cultivators to enter here for dozens, sometimes decades or even centuries long in between!
So what's a couple of years waiting even worth?
Besides, it'd be more interesting if he comes here again next time with an even stronger cultivation realm, I'd be a lot more stronger by then as well!
Completely oblivious to each other's thoughts, both Duan Li and the Clone seemed to come into an understanding with each other as they bid farewell.
Suuuu!!
...
Wengg!!
The moment Duan Li stepped out from the Golden vortex, he could no longer hold himself and spurted out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground.
Bam!
Suu!!
Di Rou immediately stepped out from Duan Li's shadow with a frantic expression on her face.
"Master, hold on!" she quickly tried to whip out several medicinal pills and elixirs from her spatial ring, but to her horror, she found that her spatial ring could not be used!
"Oh no.. what should I do.."
Being used to her master casually whipping out stuff from his spatial ring even with the restriction in place, she completely forgot that she doesn't have that special privilege as well!
Now that she thought about it, how in the world did her Master even do it?!
"Di Rou.. help me chug this elixir into my mouth so I could swallow them.." Duan Li said with a weak voice as a bottle of elixir popped out beside him.
"This scent.. such a strong presence..!!"
To her shock, the elixir that her Master just took out from his special ring was..
A grade 6.. no 7.. wait.. grade 8 elixir!
But she quickly noticed that the elixir was only a quarter full!
"Hurry.." Duan Li spoke out.
Awakened from her daze, she quickly casted away her miscellaneous thoughts and did as what her master instructed.
She helped Duan Li to sit in a cross-legged position as she chugged the entire contents of the elixir into his mouth.
Let's just hope that it works..
Gulu! Gulu! Gulu!
...
After a while, Duan Li's pale skin started to become rosy once more and his external wounds were closing as well.
This was a sign that the worse had already passed.
However, when Di Rou inspected her master's internal state, she shook her head.
"His meridians and Qi pathways.. they are all in shambles.."
At this rate, her master might not be able to cultivate anymore..
Without the proper form of meridians and Qi pathways, cultivator would not be able to cycle the spiritual Qi from their Dantian to the rest of the body.
In other words, the state that her master was in right now was no less than a mortal!
Huuu!!
Suddenly, Duan Li opened his eyes and turned his face towards this capable assistant of his, causing the latter to jitter a little bit.
After what seemed to be a deep scan from the other party onto her whole body, which made her a little bit embarrassed being stared at, Duan Li then nodded.
"Di Rou, I want you to help me cultivate a medicinal pill!"
"..." Di Rou.
