Chapter 535 - 532: The 2nd Transformation: Transplantation
"How much longer until this wine is ready? Say something, kid!"
Seeing Mo Qi’s surprised expression, frozen in place, Elder Ku Mu asked again.
Mo Qi came back to his senses and looked at Elder Ku Mu with a strange expression.
’What the hell does this guy mean?’
’He’s the one who put a bounty on my life, and he’s also the one who destroyed the Array-breaking Killing Device.’
’Now he’s asking when the wine will be ready. What’s he up to?’
Although he was extremely puzzled, Mo Qi obediently held up three fingers.
"Three days?"
Elder Ku Mu frowned, his face twisting into a bitter grimace. He felt his mouth go dry and found it hard to control himself.
’It’s still going to take three days!’
’Doesn’t that mean I have to endure three more days of agony?’
Mo Qi shook his head and lowered one finger.
Elder Ku Mu was confused. "Two days?"
Mo Qi shook his head again and lowered another finger.
Staring at Mo Qi’s single remaining finger, Elder Ku Mu was completely bewildered.
’First three fingers, then two, and now one. What is this kid trying to say?’
’Is he trying to mess with me?’
At this thought, Elder Ku Mu started to get angry.
Just as he was about to teach Mo Qi a lesson, Mo Qi lowered his last finger.
"Alright, time’s up. The wine is ready!"
Elder Ku Mu: "???"
’What, was he just counting down? Three, two, one?’
’Couldn’t he have just said so?’
’Why did he have to be such a show-off?’
Elder Ku Mu grumbled inwardly, but his attention was soon drawn back to Mo Qi.
Mo Qi was using a large vat that contained a small pocket dimension for brewing the wine.
The wine was now ready. Mo Qi slapped the cover off the vat and channeled the power of heaven and earth, guiding the finished Purple Sky Wine out and pouring it into the space within the Chaos Scripture.
The clear, impurity-free wine flew past Elder Ku Mu, reflecting a rainbow-colored light like a crystal.
A rich, alluring aroma of wine wafted out, intoxicating to anyone who caught even a whiff.
Moreover, wherever the wine passed, it stirred the surrounding Spiritual Energy, forming fine tendrils of purple lightning that crackled and emitted heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
GULP!
Elder Ku Mu’s eyes were glued to the sight, and he swallowed hard, completely forgetting his composure.
Purple Sky Wine was a nectar brewed using Purple Sky Thunderbolt, one of the Immortal Tribulations, as a raw material, fermented with hundreds of Immortal Elixirs.
Drinking it could not only temper one’s physique and solidify their soul, but also provide an opportunity to comprehend the Purple Sky Thunderbolt, increasing the chances of surviving an Immortal Tribulation.
This might not have meant much to Elder Ku Mu. In fact, before he quit drinking, Purple Sky Wine wouldn’t have even been high-grade enough to catch his eye.
But now, on one hand, a dry spell of over fifty thousand years meant he couldn’t be picky. On the other hand, Mo Qi had used his Medicinal Cuisine techniques to brew the Purple Sky Wine, and had even incorporated the second of the Eight Transformations of Creation!
Although he hadn’t drunk it yet, Elder Ku Mu could sense that Mo Qi’s Purple Sky Wine was anything but ordinary!
As for how it was extraordinary, he would only know after drinking it.
The transfer of the wine lasted for a full quarter of an hour. There was so much of it that Mo Qi had to specifically open up a pond in the Chaos Scripture’s space just to hold it all.
By the time he was finished, the aroma of wine filled the air for a hundred miles in every direction.
The experts from the Northern United Army and the Demon Sect smelled the aroma, and their mouths began to water, making them desperately wish for a taste.
Elder Ku Mu was in an even worse state. He greedily inhaled the wine-scented air, so much so that he forgot to swallow, letting drool spill from the corner of his mouth, wetting his clothes and the ground.
Mo Qi separated a small glob of the Purple Sky Wine and drank it himself.
ZAP!
A flash of electricity, and Mo Qi felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. A sharp pain in his mouth was followed by an intense numbness.
The wine slid down his throat and into his stomach, like a ball of fire that was burning and spreading.
In an instant, his organs, meridians, and vessels were all enveloped in a scorching heat.
At first, this scorching heat was like being placed in a blazing fire, painful and agonizing.
But in less than a breath’s time, the pain and agony vanished completely, replaced by the refreshing sensation of his physical body being strengthened and his soul being elevated.
Not only that, a mysterious power merged into Mo Qi’s flesh and blood—subtle, yet powerful.
"Hoo..." Mo Qi opened his eyes, letting out a breath of wine-laced air.
"That feels amazing!"
He raised his hand, and with a thought, that subtle power burst forth. Dazzling arcs of lightning appeared between his five fingers.
"Huh? The Power of Thunder?" Mo Qi opened his hand, and the arcs of lightning instantly expanded, forming a Domain around him.
Immediately after, the Domain rapidly transformed, becoming a Thunder Realm.
"This..." Mo Qi was overjoyed.
’Is this the power of the second of the Eight Transformations of Creation?’
’No!’
’It’s not just the second transformation, it’s enhanced by the first one too!’
At that moment, Mo Qi suddenly had a flash of insight—an understanding of the second of the Eight Transformations of Creation.
’The second transformation’s ability allows me to fuse external energy into my Medicinal Cuisine. If others consume my Medicinal Cuisine, they have a chance to obtain this energy!’
Although he hadn’t experimented on others yet, Mo Qi already realized how powerful the second transformation was.
’If I could capture someone else’s Domain or Mental Realm and fuse it into Medicinal Cuisine, wouldn’t that mean I could directly grant a Domain or Mental Realm to Cultivators who haven’t comprehended one yet?!’
’This means that as long as I’m willing and have the right ingredients, there would be no more bottlenecks for the Purity Realm, Vajra Realm, or even the Void Realm. I could make anyone break through whenever I want.’
’As my Cultivation and strength gradually advance, I could single-handedly create experts at the Void, Divine Sea, and even the Immortal level!’
Even Mo Qi himself was frightened by this thought.
But on second thought, he couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
’Capturing a Domain, a Mental Realm, or other forms of energy isn’t that easy.’
’To help someone break through, the energy must be complete. If it’s flawed, it would actually harm them, leaving their Martial Dao foundation imperfect and making it impossible for their Cultivation to advance another inch.’
’In any case, the second transformation’s ability is as ridiculously overpowered as ever. It’s completely broken. Based on its effect, I’ll call it Transplantation.’
The Second of the Eight Transformations of Creation, Transplantation!
Retracting the Power of Thunder, Mo Qi was startled by Elder Ku Mu, who was standing beside him.
At that moment, Ku Mu’s head was tilted, staring at him. His mouth was slightly agape, and a thick string of drool hung from the corner of his lips all the way to the ground. He looked like a mindless idiot.
’Holy hell, what’s wrong with this old geezer?’ Mo Qi sent a voice transmission to the Pig Emperor.
The Pig Emperor looked at Ku Mu with disdain. "What else could be wrong? He’s just captivated by your Purple Sky Wine."
Mo Qi had a sudden realization. It all made perfect sense now. This also explained why Ku Mu had appeared and helped him.
