As soon as he left the secret realm, Zhong Lingge felt obvious changes in his physical body.
The endurance of her bones and muscles was much worse, and she could feel the pressure while flying. When she tried to jump from a high altitude, a crisis warning appeared in her gut, preventing her from doing so.
She couldn't feel it at all in the secret realm. She only felt that her soul and sea of consciousness were surrounded by soul power, as if she were immersed in warm and comfortable spiritual spring water, and her whole body felt light and comfortable. The outside world is dominated by spiritual energy and air, and the pressure is much greater than that in the secret realm. The weakened physical body is naturally unable to bear it.
The low-level monks who flew out all landed on the ground due to pressure, in shock.
"What should I do? I have an arena competition to participate in next month. Wouldn't I be defeated as soon as I get on stage?"
"I have completed my foundation building and am about to condense the golden elixir. How can this physical body withstand the impact of advanced spiritual power? It's over, it's over."
"I have absorbed too much soul power, and my soul seems to be not well integrated with my body. I don't know if going to the Valley of Rejuvenation will cure it."
"I heard that the Valley of Rejuvenation has cooperated with the fortune-telling alliance of casual cultivators. Should we try to ask for help?"
Everyone was worried that the physical body would not be able to recover. The leader of the Xuanming Sect cleared his throat from high in the air and comforted everyone with a smile.
"Don't worry, the physical body can be restored by medicine and practice. Everyone should ask the body cultivator for advice on how to train the body. It can be as fast as a month or two, or as slow as half a year."
After hearing the words of Master Yuanying, a group of low-level monks felt relieved and stood up to salute and thank them.
Everyone in the Xuanming Sect did not stay long. The leader, Zhenren Yuzhou, left with his disciples, and the farewell was conducted in a friendly and calm manner.
Zhong Lingge raised his head and watched them fly away, thinking that compared to the unattainable real people from some clans, this real person from the Xuanming Sect was much gentler and kinder.
"Cousin, let's go back too." Wu Guiyi walked over, holding his weakened arm, with pity, helplessness and insignificance written all over his face. "I want to go back to practice. I'm almost exhausted from walking."
Zhong Lingge glanced at him sympathetically, nodded and said, "Let's go, I happen to have something to talk to the clan leader and elders about."
She no longer planned to hide her mother's situation. Initially, it was because she could not get the exact information about her mother, and she was afraid that telling her would only increase the worries of the Wu family.
During the time she lived in the Wu family, she realized that everyone in the Wu family had spent a lot of time and energy searching for her mother. Now that she had accurate information and heard the good news that her mother had promised that she would soon turn into a god, she should naturally give her to her. Shared by the Wu family.
Wu Guiyi was curious about what she wanted to tell the elders, but there were so many people here with mixed minds, and even sound transmission was not necessarily safe, so he suppressed his curiosity and did not ask.
After Zhong Lingge said goodbye to Lan Siyue, she hurriedly boarded the Wu family's spirit boat. On the way, she began to look through an old "Alchemy Sutra" brought out from the Jidao Sect, and found something suitable for low-level monks. The elixir for body refining began to be researched on how to restore it with today's medicinal materials.
The ancient "Alchemy Sutra" records all kinds of strange elixirs, but since 60 to 70% of the spiritual plants have disappeared, and the remaining 30 to 40% have mutated due to the thinness of the spiritual energy, every study must rely on knowledge of the sea. Only by improving the elixir mantra can the elixir be improved.
Zhong Lingge locked onto an elixir called the Beast Body Pill, which could make a human's modified body as powerful as a monster.
The first-level and second-level animal body pills only require twelve kinds of medicinal materials, each of which has a suitable substitute in the lower realm.
Zhong Lingge kept the elixirs improved by the mantra firmly in mind and practiced them over and over again in her mind. Every time she learned a new elixir or talisman, she would preview it in this way and form a habitual thinking before actual operation. , to reduce the possibility of errors.
By the time Lingzhou returned to Wu's house, she had memorized every process and the characteristics of each medicinal material. She just waited for the furnace to be opened to refine the elixir.
As soon as he got off the boat, Zhong Lingge followed the two elders and headed straight to the courtyard where the clan leader lived.
The elders of the Wu family never interfere with the younger ones' freedom of movement. The place where the patriarch and the elders live is not a restricted area, and they can escape at any time if they want to. They didn't ask Zhong Lingge what she was doing with them, and just let her enter the meeting hall together.
The clan leader and elders were already waiting. After listening to the two leader elders talking about the situation in the secret realm, they looked at Zhong Lingge, who had been sitting below and chewing the spirit fruit.
"Lingge, do you have something to say?"
After hearing the clan leader's roll call, Zhong Lingge put down most of the fruit he had eaten.
"Yes. I found my mother in the secret realm."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent, and a moment later a burst of exclamations broke out.
"really?!"
"Why is the third elder in the secret realm?!"
"Doesn't this indicate her physical body?"
"No way! The third elder has become a soul cultivator?"
"Just be quiet and let the spiritual songs speak!"
Zhong Lingge and other elders finished their surprise and told the whole story, including the mother's voice and reminders they had heard in the sect.
"At that time, I guessed that my mother was saying that ghost cultivators can exist in the world only if the upper and lower realms merge, so she has been promoting this matter over the years. Fortunately, those big clans are very committed to death, which has accelerated the process a lot. "
"No wonder she has never contacted her family. She was trapped in a secret realm. She must have spent a lot of money to communicate with the outside world."
The patriarch was in agitated mood and his tone was a little urgent.
"Then did she say in the secret realm that she could stay in the outside world for a long time after transforming into a god? Or could she only come out and stay for a short time occasionally?"
"I never said it before, but the Heavenly Way of the Lower Realm does not allow ghosts to cultivate their soul bodies. I think we can only meet him briefly."
Zhong Lingge has no regrets. She likes to focus on the positive side. As for those shortcomings, she will make up for them through continuous efforts.
The clan leader nodded, still with an unstoppable smile on his face: "It's good to finally have definite news. No matter how the third sister advances to become a god, she is the pride of the clan, just like the ninth sister."
Everyone in the Wu family unanimously agreed. They didn't care what path their clan members practiced or what they became, as long as they were still alive and well.
Zhong Lingge put aside his worries and decided to study the body-tempering elixir in seclusion for a period of time, and no longer went out or meditated in seclusion.
"Clan leader, can I use the alchemy room in the clan? I want to try refining the beast body elixir."
"You can use all the resources in the clan at your disposal. You can go wherever you want without asking for permission."
Everyone in the Wu family doesn't even have an identity token. Apart from the clan protection formation that prevents outsiders from entering, almost no formations are activated unless there are outsiders visiting.
Zhong Lingge is not an outsider. She can go anywhere at will from now on when she enters the house.
"Thank you, patriarch."
Zhong Lingge stood up and bowed, said goodbye and went straight to the alchemy academy of the clan.
Manager Wu Qi, who was guarding the alchemy courtyard with his nine-tailed cat in his arms every day. When he saw it was her, a deep smile appeared on his old face: "You are back? I made a batch of the healing elixir you mentioned last time. , the grade is not high enough, but the medicinal properties are indeed dozens of times better than the precious healing medicine!”
