C422 The Creature at the Bottom of the Lake
When the red lake water entered his body, the purple blood in his blood vessels immediately erupted with a strong suction force, absorbing the red lake water that had just entered his body into his blood vessels.
Three seconds later, an extremely pure energy flowed out of his blood vessels. After the meridian absorbed it, it all entered the Dantian.
After Chu Zhongtian entered the Asura Secret Realm, he had used the red gas to purify nearly five percent of the spiritual power. With the help of this trace of pure energy, the spiritual Qi was purified by nearly one percent. The effect was about the same as absorbing the red gas for half an hour.
When the pure energy completely merged into the Dantian, Chu Zhongtian's face revealed a trace of joy.
If it wasn't for the strange environment and the fact that he didn't know how to leave the cave, he might have jumped up in joy.
A single drop of red lake water was able to purify nearly 1% of the spiritual power. The Blood Lake in front of him had a diameter of several thousand meters. The red lake water could help him purify the spiritual power tens of thousands of times.
Since Chu Zhongtian could not find the exit to the cave for the time being, he gave up the idea of finding the exit for the time being. He chose to use the endless lake water in front of him to try and purify all the spiritual power in the Dantian. After his strength increased, he would consider how to find the exit.
The energy produced by a single drop of the lake water could purify nearly 1% of Chu Zhongtian's spiritual power, which also meant that the energy contained in this drop of lake water was extremely huge. In order to avoid any accidents during the conversion process, he only swallowed a small mouthful at a time. About a dozen drops of lake water.
The energy produced after the dozens of drops of red lake water were purified by the purple blood directly caused the spiritual power in Chu Zhongtian's Dantian to drop by a large portion. Chu Zhongtian could feel the changes in the spiritual power within the Dantian. He was multitasking. He took out thousands of Seventh Grade Middle Rank Spirit Stone stones from his storage bag and placed them according to the simplified version. He used the red lake water to continue purifying the spiritual power. At the same time, he absorbed enough spiritual Qi to replenish the spiritual power that was constantly being consumed.
An hour later, the last dozen or so drops of red lake water were swallowed into Chu Zhongtian's stomach, and they were converted into energy that could purify the spiritual power. The last bit of spiritual power in his Dantian had completely turned into the purest spiritual power.
At the same time, as the spiritual power was completely purified, a strong aura rose from his body. It stirred up the surrounding soil, causing waves to form in the lake water.
Chu Zhongtian retracted the energy that was unintentionally released from his body after the spiritual power was purified, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
After his spiritual power was completely purified, his combat strength directly reached the Third Layer of the Qi Transforming Period. If he used the saber technique that contained his strength and his trump card skill, his true strength could reach the Third Layer Peak of the Qi Transforming Period.
No matter which stage the First Emperor's strength was at, Chu Zhongtian had the confidence to face him.
Originally, the increase in strength was a good thing for Chu Zhongtian, but after the spiritual power was purified, the sudden burst of energy almost made him break through to the Tenth Layer Great Perfection of the Body Refining Period. This made him worried for a long time.
After all, before entering the Asura Secret Realm, Jiao Enjun had repeatedly warned him not to break through to the tenth level of Body Refinement in the Asura Secret Realm.
Fortunately, with the help of his powerful mind state, he was able to completely suppress the violent spiritual power, so he didn't go against Jiao Enjun's warning and break through to the Tenth Layer Great Perfection of the Body Refining Period ahead of time.
Although the spiritual power in his Dantian had been completely purified by the energy from the blood lake, the number of spiritual power in his Dantian had been reduced by nearly half. However, because he had been absorbing the spiritual Qi to transform it into spiritual power, the total number of spiritual power in his Dantian remained at 80%.
Chu Zhongtian realized that the spiritual Qi in the simplified version of the Spirit Gathering Formation was enough to restore all of his spiritual power. He did not get up and leave. He sat cross-legged in the Spirit Gathering Formation and continued to absorb the spiritual Qi to recover the spiritual power he had consumed.
Chu Zhongtian, who was absorbing the spiritual Qi with all his strength, didn't notice that after all the spiritual power had been purified, the aura he unintentionally emitted stirred the lake water. Creatures that were swimming back and forth began to appear in the depths of the originally calm lake.
These creatures rose along with the waves, and gradually approached the surface of the lake.
Just as Chu Zhongtian was about to restore the spiritual power, a creature that was about ten centimeters long and looked somewhat like a carp but had an unusual appearance slowly emerged from the surface of the water.
Its red gem-like eyes stared intently at Chu Zhongtian, who was trying his best to restore the spiritual power.
It stared at Chu Zhongtian for more than thirty seconds before it suddenly left the lake water and turned into a red lightning, biting at him who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
When it was less than one meter away from Chu Zhongtian, a wave of energy restrained it.
Whether it was Chu Zhongtian using the red lake water to purify the spiritual power or absorbing the spiritual Qi to transform the spiritual power, he had at least half of his attention on the surroundings, constantly on guard.
Although he did not notice the changes at the bottom of the lake at first, he had already noticed the strange looking creature the moment it appeared on the surface of the lake. After that, he decisively reduced the absorption of the spiritual Qi and secretly activated the spiritual power.
It was also because he had made prior preparations that he was able to use the power of his Force to restrain the strange creature when it attacked.
Chu Zhongtian opened his eyes and carefully observed the strange creature in front of him.
Just from its appearance alone, this strange creature seemed to be a carp from before he transmigrated, but its head was somewhat like a mouse, especially when two rows of sharp teeth protruded from its mouth, making it appear very fierce.
Chu Zhongtian strengthened the restraining force. He did not use the Natal Spirit Blade, but instead took out an ordinary top grade Hundred Refined long sword from the storage ring's finger. He held the sword hilt in his hand and used the sharp tip of the sword to touch the strange creature. He discovered that there was no danger of corrosion on its body.
He used the power of his Force to slightly shorten it by 20 centimeters so that he could use the sword in his hand to perform a physiological examination on it.
He was previously an expert at barbecuing, and fish was also a type of food that he often used, so he knew very well how to deal with this strange creature in front of him.
He aimed the sharp tip of the sword at an inch below the fish's mouth and stabbed down with all his might.
Although the sword in his hand was already a top grade Hundred Refined Longsword, which was sharp enough to cut through iron as if it were mud, it was very slow when facing a strange creature's body.
