Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1675: Chapter 1677: Barren

Shi Yi was stunned, his entire body tense, as he looked at Lu Xiaobu in disbelief.

He thought of the most unlikely possibility.

Could it be...

Is this person from the Demon Realm?!

Exactly, exactly, someone who knows such detailed matters about the Ancient Ancestor, and that speed, that speed beyond the fastest in their original realm!

Yes! Yes!

That was a strength only available to one from the Demon Realm!

The one from the same world as the Ancient Ancestor who bestowed upon them strength and guided their direction!

”Master!”

Shi Yi immediately knelt on both knees, his head bowing to the ground, his voice trembling.

”Did you figure it out?”

Lu Xiaobu shrugged, not surprised at all.

He had said so much already, being guessed wasn’t that strange!

”Yes, esteemed master!”

Shi Yi’s body was trembling slightly.

Who knows if that was excitement, or fear.

Or perhaps both!

Everything in their original realm was almost given by the Ancient Ancestor, who was a person of the Demon Realm, so saying their realm was a vassal to the Demon Realm wasn’t entirely incorrect!

Therefore, he was afraid, a natural fear of a servant towards their master.

”Rise.” Lu Xiaobu raised his hand slightly.

”Thank you, master!”

Shi Yi shakily stood up.

It was hard to imagine, someone who previously challenged a dozen people alone and feared nothing, now trembling like this!

”Now tell me about your Cultivation Technique issues, and why only people from our world and yours have such powerful bodies?” Lu Xiaobu asked.

This always puzzled him, as he previously thought that people in this world did not focus on building physical strength.

But as he walked this path, he gradually understood.

It seemed it wasn’t their lack of training, but there was another reason.

”I’ve read accounts about this left by the Ancient Ancestor.” Shi Yi, no longer hesitating, spoke honestly: ”The Ancient Ancestor said it was because of deprivation.”

”Deprivation?!” Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched, what kind of reason is this?

”As far as we discovered, the Demon Realm and our original realm are the two places with the least Spiritual Energy. Our original realm is somewhat better with a little Spiritual Energy, but the Demon Realm does not autonomously generate any Spiritual Energy!”

”Because of deprivation, after creatures are born, their bodies can’t actively absorb Spiritual Energy to supply their body’s consumption, thus allowing the growth of physical strength to be faster, and breaking the shackles of physical strength easier!”

”However, in those places rich with Spiritual Energy, like this big world, Spiritual Energy is everywhere, and all creatures absorb it subtly after birth to supply the body’s consumption.”

”As a result, their physical strength maintains at a relatively low level, and breaking through shackles is nearly impossible!”

”Moreover, I heard that some cultivators who’ve been fasting for a long time, after a certain time, their body’s organs slowly deteriorate, forcing them to use True Yuan to maintain their bodies, or else they would deteriorate completely.”

Shi Yi shared everything he knew.

Lu Xiaobu listened and stroked his chin: ”Use and disuse, sounds reasonable!”

However, he then thought of something amusing: ”So, among those so-called powerful figures, some might have deteriorated organs? Like, maybe no stomach, or no behind? Heh heh!”

Shi Yi listened as Lu Xiaobu’s words astonishingly simplified his elaborate explanation into four words.

But hearing the latter part, he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth!

Master, your focus seems a bit skewed!

Though it does seem possible!

”Also, also!” Lu Xiaobu’s eyes gleamed: ”Besides those who fast, what about those who abstain for years? Could it be...”

”Gulp!”

Shi Yi swallowed hard, looking down at his own brethren, involuntarily shivering!

Oh dear! With that said, these cultivators are too harsh on themselves!

”Cough cough cough! Alright, let’s get back on track.” Lu Xiaobu cleared his throat: ”What about absorbing the blood Qi earlier?”

”Absorbing blood Qi?” Shi Yi was puzzled: ”No, there’s none.”

”You didn’t feel anything?” Lu Xiaobu frowned.

”No.” Shi Yi thought for a moment, confirming it.

Then he hesitated: ”Should I try?”

”Forget it! If you can’t remember, there’s no need to take risks!” Lu Xiaobu shook his head.

If he didn’t know the reason, he might have let Shi Yi try.

But now knowing their realm was like half of the Demon Realm, he felt a kinship with Shi Yi.

After all, he’s like half a hometown fellow!

Of course, he wouldn’t let him go to his death!

”So, master, where are we heading next?” Shi Yi asked, already placing himself in a servant’s position.

It’s not just because Lu Xiaobu is from the Demon Realm, but because he is their savior.

The combination made him serve willingly!

”No worries, you don’t have to follow me. Your brother is still not well, find a place to heal.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.

”But...”

Shi Yi was anxious.

But he couldn’t express it.

On one hand, there’s his brother, on the other, his benefactor, hard to part with either!

And at this moment.

”Brother! Brother! Brother!”

A shadow suddenly rushed over, extremely excited!

”Snap!”

Like a reflex, Shi Yi suddenly executed a whip leg.

”Bang!”

The shadow came quickly, retreated even faster.

Directly crashing into a tree!

”Huh?”

Shi Yi was taken aback, realizing what happened, he hurried over, shouting anxiously: ”Is your body healed that you ran over?”

”Pui! Pui!”

Shi Er spat out the dirt from his mouth, stood up excitedly: ”I’m healed, completely healed, the guy earlier gave me a pill and I was fine!”

”Who?” Shi Yi was puzzled.

”I.” Han Long shrugged and approached from not far away: ”I thought, we’re kind of in the same boat, so I helped out a bit.”

He helped for more than this reason, though he couldn’t say it outright.

”Oh, thank you!” Shi Yi said gratefully.

That’s settled, no more dilemma.

”No worries, no worries.”

Han Long waved his hand, his eyes secretly glanced at Lu Xiaobu—this shouldn’t have any flaw!

However, what he saw was Lu Xiaobu’s eyes filled with meaningful depth, suddenly his heart started racing!

No way! No way!

Has he guessed something again?!

Don’t, please don’t, otherwise, not just him, but his entire family is doomed!

He regretted it!

Regretted it! Why did he have nothing better to do than help!
