Chapter 16: Akasu's Choice

After Akasu took the Fengshen Pill, his whole body gradually gained strength and began to try to move slowly. After about a stick of incense, Akasu felt that his strength had almost recovered, and he tried to swing his fist, although the strength and speed were a little worse than before, but the basic strength was still there. He tried his mana again, but the spell he had been thinking about was useless at all, and the mana accumulated in the sea of consciousness after more than ten years of meditation was empty. Now Akasu was annoyed, and he had to participate in the test of the Whip of Death, and he had to comprehend the prophecy that he didn't understand, and he had to ...... Countless things that require the use of mana come to mind one by one, and now there is no mana, is it possible that for a long time in the future, I will have to run on my legs to hunt and chase rabbits?

Frustrated to frustrated, Akasu quickly adjusted, instead of complaining, it is better to start meditating and accumulating mana now. Akasu walked out of the hut, found a clean stone plate, sat up, and began to meditate.

This was the first time Akasu had meditated in the Meditation Land, and he found that the energy around him was much richer than when he was in Snow Mountain City. He could clearly feel the power of wind, water, fire, light and other different energies infiltrating into his body. At the same time, I felt that the speed of energy accumulation was also surprisingly fast, and in the time of a cup of tea, Akasu knew that a lot of energy had gathered in the sea, which was one-tenth as much as before. What's even more amazing is that Akasu found that there was also a trace of energy infiltrating into his dantian, and after the energy infiltrated, a whirlpool was formed, and in the center of the vortex were two ability silk threads, one black and one white, countless times thinner than a hair, spinning. Akasu remembered that he had seen in a parchment scroll in the Temple of Time that the dantian had the ability to store. It is completely different from the system of the sea awareness magic practiced by the mages today, it is said that it was the era of gods and demons, a kind of exercise that was popular in this continent, the energy was stored in the dantian qi sea, and finally formed the danli spell, and there was also a more bizarre method to store the energy in the heart, and finally form the internal force of the blood sea. It is a pity that these exercises have either disappeared without a trace after the changes of time, or they are incomplete, and they cannot be practiced at all in this era. But why was his dantian suddenly able to store Dan power? Akasu couldn't figure it out, so he continued to meditate and cultivate with the attitude of being at peace when he came. Akasu believed that there would always be an answer to his body's problems, and when he went out, he would ask Master what was going on with him.

As time passed, Akasu found that the speed at which the energy entered his body was getting faster and faster, and in less than an hour, the energy gathered in the sea of consciousness was more than his peak state, and the energy was more refined. Could this be the creation of the place of meditation that Master said?

As the ability continued to enter, Akasu found that in the center of the energy vortex in his dantian, the two black and white silk threads had become a little thicker, and the energy convergence had been going on, even if he stopped meditating, the energy continued to flow in. The vortex formed by the black and white silk threads was like a black hole, endlessly absorbing the surrounding energy, but outsiders could not detect it, and the outside of the dantian seemed to form a formation, making the energy of Akasu's entire body look very vague and vague.

"How's your recovery, why don't you look like you have any mana," an old man's voice suddenly interrupted Akasu's musings.

"I can basically walk, but my mana hasn't recovered yet" Akasu didn't reveal the fact that his mana had recovered, considering his current situation.

"Well, don't worry too much, because of the blessing of the enchantment, the energy here is much purer than outside, as long as you cultivate here for a few days with peace of mind, you will always recover a little mana" The old man had no doubts Akasu's answer continued: "The patriarch wants to see you, if you can move around, let's go over now"

"Okay, let's go," Akasu followed the old man towards the mountain with the tall statue

Akasu looked up at the statue, because of the backlight, the afterglow of the sun was still dazzling, and it was impossible to see the face of the statue, but the silhouette of the statue should be that of a young girl. Akasu thought to himself, shouldn't the totem statue of the Wind Ape Tribe be an ape or something, how could it be a woman? Could it be that the female elder has the face of an ape. With Akasu's thoughts, the two of them had already entered a cave, which was dark and the wind blew past their ears from time to time, blowing the torches lit on both sides of the cave flickering and dimming.

"Shang Qiu, I've seen the patriarch, I've already brought the little hero who saved the Holy Maiden," the old man said as he saluted a white-haired man with his back to him

The white-haired man heard the old man's voice, turned around, and looked at Akasu carefully, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"You are the warrior who braved the fire and rescued the holy daughter of your clan," the white-haired man said with a smile

"Thank you Patriarch for the compliment, the warrior really didn't dare to be, I just happened to save a girl," Akasu replied

"You go down first to prepare the banquet, and tonight I will treat our benefactor of the Wind Spirit Department well," the white-haired man beckoned to the old man

Hearing the patriarch say that he would prepare a banquet to entertain himself, Akasu was much happier, thinking that he had finally had a full meal.

After watching the old man go down to arrange the banquet, the white-haired man smiled and beckoned to Akasu and said, "The little hero comes and sits, don't be restrained." Let me introduce myself first, my name is Tengger, I am the patriarch of the Wind Spirit Tribe, and I am also the father of the saint you saved. Whether as a patriarch or as a father, I should thank you very much" "What should I call you little hero?"

Akasu then understood why the white-haired man had been too kind to him, and it turned out that he was the girl's father.

Akasu walked over to a chair at the lower left end next to the white-haired man, sat down, and replied, "Patriarch is serious, my name is Akasu, and I am a priest of the Time Kingdom."

"Oh, so you're the one who comes up every once in a while?" said the white-haired man

"Oracle?" Akasu looked surprised

"I'm sure you don't know exactly who you are," the white-haired man said with a smile

"The Messenger of Time is what all the creatures of this world call for you who have descended. In this world, we call him the Vientiane Realm, and according to legend, it was created by a god of time in the era of gods and demons, and after the god of time left, his inheritor would come every once in a while and live here for a period of time. According to the records of the clan, hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the wind ape tribe was still in the majority of the clan, there were two divine envoys, one of them named Taisar and the other named Salman. I also went to the country of gods and demons with the elites of my clan to explore dangers, fought against the heavenly demons together, and formed a deep friendship. After they left, the follow-up Advent did not have much contact with the creatures of the world, and most of the time they spent their cultivation in the Longtan Enchantment," the white-haired man continued

"How long does the divine envoy plan to cultivate this time, if you don't dislike the simplicity of my Wind Spirit Department, just practice in my Wind Spirit Department, and you can use the pill spirit herb as you like, even if it is our reward for saving my daughter this time, it can be regarded as a continuation of our Wind Spirit Department for our former friendship" The white-haired man sincerely waited for Akasu's choice

"Patriarch, you must not use the title of divine envoy anymore, firstly, my master has not told me about the identity of the divine envoy, and secondly, I am really not used to you being called that, if you don't mind, just call me Asu, Master and my friends call me that," Akasu replied

"As for the invitation you said to practice here, I would like to thank you again for your kindness, but we cultivators should not be in the field of pills, strengthening ourselves is the right way to practice, if you have nothing else to do, I think I will return to the pond tomorrow to practice" Akasu stood up and saluted and replied

"Well, we respect your choice, please remember the friendship of the Wind Spirit Ministry to you," the white-haired man said sincerely, taking out a wooden box from his arms and handing it to Akasu.

"There are three condensing pills in this wooden box, which can quickly help you recover your mana, this time in order to exhaust your mana for the sake of my saintess. Please accept this condensation pill, don't shirk it," the white-haired man said as he looked at Akasu with affirmation

"Okay, thank you for the kindness of the patriarch" Akasu wanted to refuse, but seeing the sincerity of the man's eyes, he accepted the pill. I thought that my mana had been restored anyway, so this pill should be left as a souvenir.

The man saw that Akasu had accepted the pill, as if he had a matter on his mind, and was very happy, and shouted outside, "Come on, the feast is ready to begin, I want to not get drunk with the benefactor of our Wind Spirit Clan."
