Chapter 127 Longing and Waiting
After swallowing the last bite of vine, Tang Chuan suddenly felt dizzy.
His head was spinning, like he was starving. A wave of dizziness washed over him, and Tang Chuan swayed, almost falling off the bed.
Fortunately, the bed was big enough that he didn't fall to the ground.
Tang Chuan shook his head vigorously, then raised his hand to rub his aching temples: "Huff... huff..."
"My spiritual energy is being severely depleted."
"I was completely focused on detecting the characteristic fluctuations just now, my mind was on edge the whole time, and I used the first soul skill so many times in a row..."
Tang Chuan knew that this was a sign of spiritual exhaustion.
"But it's alright."
"It's just that my spiritual energy was a bit depleted, but it's easy to replenish."
Tang Chuan put away his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to calm his somewhat disordered heartbeat and breathing.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
Although his head was still a little dizzy, the vertigo had lessened considerably.
"I've been waiting with bated breath, it's all up to you now!"
Tang Chuan reopened his eyes and raised his hand again, the azure-blue vines with golden threads unfurling in his palm.
"A thousand threads reappear, a hundred flavors emerge."
Blue Silver Emperor Grass threads intertwined in the air to form a wine cup, and blood-red light flowed on the 100,000-year soul ring beneath it. A drop of dew, about the size of a soybean, appeared in the wine cup woven from Blue Silver Emperor Grass threads.
The water droplets were transparent, with a faint purplish tinge.
A faint, refreshing fragrance appeared, lingering around Tang Chuan's nose, invigorating him and making the surrounding air feel fresher.
"Try one drop first."
Tang Chuan murmured to himself, manipulating the blue-silver wine cup to his lips. With a slight lift, the "Longing for You" dew inside dripped into Tang Chuan's mouth.
The dewdrop entered his mouth, bringing a cool and sweet sensation.
Ah~
Tang Chuan groaned comfortably as a cool sensation rushed into his mind, instantly soothing his previously dizzy head.
A refreshing torrent spread through the sea of spirit.
Wherever it went, fatigue and dizziness vanished as quickly as ice and snow melting away, replaced by an indescribable sense of clarity and well-being.
"Hiss... That feels so good!"
"Truly worthy of being a divine medicinal herb!"
"No wonder it's the Immortal Herb that Tang San ate in the original novel; the effects are immediate. It's truly a good product!"
Tang Chuan repeatedly praised it, closing his eyes to carefully experience the medicinal effects of the "Longing for Autumn Dew".
The originally blurred boundaries of the sea of spirit expanded outward, becoming even wider and more vast.
His thoughts became clearer than ever before, and the mysterious feeling he had just captured when the Flame Pig Knuckle's characteristic fluctuations became even clearer in his mind.
Many previously overlooked details and inspirations also appeared in his mind, but they did not seem cluttered.
"This effect is amazing!"
Tang Chuan opened his eyes, his gaze bright and clear.
He tried to mobilize his spiritual energy and found that not only had the total amount recovered to its peak state, but it was even more than 30% stronger than before.
Although it didn't achieve the same spiritual breakthrough as Tang San in the original novel, where he consumed the "Looking Forward to the Autumn Water Dew" and went from "delicious" to "mustard seed," the effects were still remarkable.
"Just one drop."
Tang Chuan grinned, released his first soul skill, and once again wove a drop of "Longing for You" dew. He repeated the previous action, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.
"Again!"
"The original text only states that there is a limit to the amount of Immortal Herbs that can be consumed. The Dew of Longing for Autumn Water does not conflict with other Immortal Herbs, but it does not say that there is a limit to the amount of Dew of Longing for Autumn Water that can be consumed."
"Come on, let me see your limits, after waiting with bated breath!"
The second drop of the "Longing for Autumn Dew" entered his throat, and the cooling sensation was even clearer and more intense than when he took it for the first time.
The already stable boundaries of the Sea of Spirit expanded outward once again.
The speed of thought also increased to a new level. The scattered inspirations and details that previously flashed through his mind had now been sorted out and clearly connected.
That's not all.
Under the influence of the "longing gaze," Tang Chuan's spiritual strength underwent a qualitative leap.
The Purple Demon Eye, which had been cultivated intermittently over time, automatically activated, covering Tang Chuan's eyes with a purple-gold light.
Everything around him became exceptionally clear.
What appeared before him was a world full of layers and colors. Even in the transparent air, Tang Chuan could see faint dust particles.
Even the different particles of soul power in the air floated in Tang Chuan's eyes.
Everything was as clear and distinct as the lines on the palm of his hand.
"This is... the Mustard Seed Realm?"
A sudden realization dawned on Tang Chuan, who murmured to himself that his control over his spiritual power had undergone a dramatic transformation.
"Again!"
"I've been waiting with bated breath, let me see your limits!"
After a brief digestion, the Blue Silver Emperor Grass threads intertwined in the air once more, and another cup of "Longing for Autumn Dew" was condensed and dripped into Tang Chuan's mouth.
Once and again.
Until the third drop of the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water was taken, the already vast and boundless sea of the mind stopped expanding, and the growth became almost negligible.
"That's the limit?"
Undeterred, Tang Chuan continued to condense a drop of "Longing for Autumn Dew" and swallowed it.
This time, the effect was even more negligible; the sea of consciousness rippled briefly, but there were no further changes.
It was just a bit more stable than before.
Moreover, Tang Chuan couldn't be sure if this was just his imagination, but the feeling he got from the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water wasn't as intense as it had been the previous times.
"It really has reached its limit."
Tang Chuan clicked his tongue, not surprised at all: "It should be that drug resistance has developed, or my body can't digest so much Longing Dew in a short time."
"Try again in a while."
"If it still doesn't work well, then it's safe to say that drug resistance has developed."
Tang Chuan stroked his chin thoughtfully. After all, the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" was the essence of an Immortal Herb. Since it was a herb, it would definitely cause the body to develop drug resistance.
Tang Chuan felt that his guess was correct.
"After the second test of the God of Cookery is completed, I will have to ask the God of Cookery if he has any medicinal recipes to improve spiritual strength."
"Adding the 'Waiting for Autumn Dew' to the medicine will definitely enhance its efficacy."
"Moreover, after being made into medicinal cuisine, through the coordination of various main and auxiliary ingredients, it might be possible to solve the problem of drug resistance to the 'Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu'."
Tang Chuan kept this matter firmly in mind and planned to treat it as a serious matter.
Although the effects of continuously taking the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" diminish, this did not affect Tang Chuan's current spiritual state, which was at an unprecedented peak.
Radiant and full of energy.
"I feel like I could stay up for eight nights straight and not feel sleepy at all!"
Tang Chuan stretched his arms and moved his neck, his bones cracking as he felt incredibly good.
"Very good!"
"Very energetic!"
"Keep up the good work and keep going!"
Tang Chuan couldn't wait to verify the effects of his breakthrough in spiritual realm, so he released his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul once again.
This time, the changes were quite obvious.
Almost instantly, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul appeared in his hand, with the characteristic fluctuations of the Flame Pig Knuckle attached to it, changing the taste of the Blue Silver Emperor Vines.
Moreover, Tang Chuan could sense that if he wanted, he could change only a small section of the vine.
