Chapter 3316: Steamed Inner Core
In the Sword Emperor clan, the Sword Emperor sat in his study. There were many jade slips placed out before him, not only detailing the entire process of the Peace region’s formation, but also various incidents reported up to him from the various towns and cities under his control.
Suddenly, Jian Chen’s message directly drifted into the Sword Emperor’s ear. When he learnt of Jian Chen’s request, the Sword Emperor immediately became slightly surprised.
Despite being puzzled, the Sword Emperor did not dare to reject Jian Chen’s request. He immediately placed down the jade slip in his hand and personally went off to handle the matter for Jian Chen.
As one of the nine existences that reigned over the Peace region, Sword Emperor city collected an extremely tremendous amount of information, far more than the Xia Merchant Union.
Very soon, the Sword Emperor personally delivered several dozen jade slips to Jian Chen.
Each jade slip recorded an extremely vast amount of information, detailing all sorts of things. Maybe they did not describe everything available in the Wood Spirits World, but they came close.
Jian Chen picked up these jade slips and began browsing through them. He was not interested in any information regarding the Wood Spirits. His true objective was finding a way to heal his physical injuries.
After all, his physical injuries were different. He had been injured by the laws of this world. These injuries would never appear on Wood Spirits. It only ever appeared on foreigners.
However, he had no plans on exposing his true identity just yet, as he was not certain whether the Wood Spirits would exclude him. Once they developed a thought like that, he would probably become a public enemy of this world immediately.
He did not fear that, but it would lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble. Some unexpected incidents might even occur.
After all, there was a sovereign god artifact in the Wood Spirits World. Jian Chen remained fearful about it.
As a result, he was ready to keep his identity hidden, but if he wanted to keep his identity hidden, then he obviously could not let others find out about his physical injuries.
Lifesoul Flowers healed the soul. It was impossible for others to detect the injuries to his soul.
However, his physical wounds were different.
He could hide his physical wounds from weaker people, but Infinite Primes would detect something fishy very soon if they paid close attention.
As a result, he could only rely on himself to find the item in this world that could eliminate the power of laws on his body.
“Ancestral sacred fruit. With the ancestral god artifact as a medium, it is condensed from the endless presence of life in the Wood Spirits World. Once ingested, not only does it lead to a drastic increase in strength, but it also becomes easier to comprehend the Laws of Wood and the Laws of Life. It possesses wondrous healing properties too, capable of treating all wounds.”
“Ancestral sacred springwater. It is also produced by the ancestral god artifact and possesses extremely powerful healing properties.”
……
…
Very soon, Jian Chen found several items with healing properties from the jade slips, but none of them were produced naturally. They were all created by the sovereign god artifact of the Wood Spirits.
And without any exception, all of these items were extremely rare, appearing once every several millennia. Even the three rulers did not possess them. They only existed in legends.
Jian Chen continued to browse through the jade slips and did not let any piece of information slip past his attention. He used three whole days to read through all the jade slips that the Sword Emperor had delivered over.
The information in the jade slips was indeed much more plentiful compared to what the Xia Merchant Union had provided him with. Through these jade slips, Jian Chen gained an extremely deep understanding about the entire Wood Spirits World. He truly knew it all.
From these jade slips alone, he learnt of several thousand items that could heal injuries. He gained some understanding regarding the various ancient techniques and wondrous secret techniques too.
“Ancestral imprints can also heal wounds, and their effects are only second to these sacred items produced by the sovereign god artifact. However, this ancestral imprint has been useless to my injuries.”
“Apart from that, none of the heavenly resources recorded in the jade slips are actually of any use to my body.” Jian Chens sighed gently. With his soul half-healed, he could already make some simple deductions.
As a result, whenever he read about a heavenly resource, he would use the description of the heavenly resource in the jade slip to make some simple deductions and learn about their effects.
However, it all ended up in failure. He could not find anything that was effective.
“Heavenly resources don’t work, so let’s try the spiritual beasts in this world. The spiritual beasts of this world also contain a tremendous amount of life force. The Wood Spirits frequently ingest their flesh or inner cores and even gather certain parts to refine pills.”
With that thought, Jian Chen immediately contacted Xia Jianming. Very soon, Xia Jianming organised a bountiful feast for Jian Chen. It had various kinds of delicious food made from spiritual beasts.
Immediately, the entire table wafted with a heavy aura of life.
These delicacies were not food that any regular person could enjoy.
However, when Jian Chen ingested them, he discovered that while these delicacies possessed healing properties, they were useless to his injuries.
“Master, there’s one more dish, but it needs three days before it’s done,” Xia Jianming said in a hurry once he saw how Jian Chen was dissatisfied. “The last dish is steamed inner core. However, because inner cores contain powerful energy, they’re extremely troublesome to prepare. Normally, they require five Godkings working together to prepare an Overgod spiritual beast’s inner core.”
“Steamed inner core?” Jian Chen was surprised when he heard that. In regular cuisines, there were many foods that were steamed, but this was the first time he had heard that inner cores could be steamed too.
Xia Jianming smiled awkwardly and said, “Actually, steam inner cores are rather similar to refining pills. They’ve all been infused with a large number of heavenly resources to pacify the violent energy in the inner cores, leaving it much more mild. It adds many other effects too.”
“The techniques used and the process of preparation is just a little different between the two.”
“Alright then. I’ll wait for three days.” Jian Chen nodded.
Very soon, the three days had elapsed, and the steamed inner core was served up on the table.
This was a dish made from an Overgod spiritual beast’s inner core. Many heavenly resources had been added into it, so it contained great energy. It was a food of great nourishment to Godhood experts.
Jian Chen swallowed the steamed inner core in a single gulp.
But very soon, he quivered, his eyes becoming extremely bright. When he ingested the inner core, he could clearly sense a slight response from the power of laws lingering in his body.
“It’s effective. The inner core of spiritual beasts is effective on my injuries!” Jian Chen immediately beamed with joy. He did not know whether it was because the inner core was steamed, or it was because of the inner core itself. However, he did know that this could eliminate the power of laws in his injuries.
“However, the inner cores of Overgods are far too low in quality. It can lead to a response, but it can’t let me heal. As a result, I need higher quality inner cores.”
“However, higher quality inner cores are also more difficult to prepare.” Jian Chen frowned. He said, “Xia Jianming, go and retrieve a Godking spiritual beast’s inner core for me.”
“Master, I have one on me right now!” With a flip of his hand, a thumb-sized inner core immediately appeared.
Jian Chen directly swallowed the inner core. When it reached his belly, a violet energy exploded. However, an inner core of such a level was still nothing to Jian Chen. It could not influence his Chaotic Body at all.
However, Jian Chen began to shake uncontrollably. The power of laws lingering in his body responded again.
And because he had ingested the inner core of a Godking spiritual beast this time, the response was much more intense compared to last time.
However, if he wanted to cleanse the power of laws, Godking inner cores were still nowhere near sufficient.
“They don’t need any preparation. Just the inner cores themselves can remove the power of laws from my body.” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up. He immediately found his future direction. “I need the inner cores of Primordial realm sacred beasts at the very least. Even Infinite Primes might not be enough. The best would be the inner cores of Chaotic Primes.”
