Chapter 124 Thanks, Old Ancestor Fengyuan!

“Thank you, Old Ancestor Fengyuan!”

Qiao Yu, without changing his expression, directly put the Styx Staff into his embrace.

Jia Fengyuan didn’t suspect anything. As a dead man, keeping the Styx Staff would only make it a burial item. It would be better to let a junior take it out.

“By the way, Old Ancestor Fengyuan, this junior has another matter to ask!” Qiao Yu said with cupped fists.

“Oh? Speak, if I can help, I definitely will.” Jia Fengyuan nodded.

“It’s like this, this junior was originally in his prime, but was harmed by a treacherous person, and his lifespan was lost. This time, he turned into a decrepit old man. I wonder if Old Ancestor Fengyuan has a solution?” Qiao Yu looked at Jia Fengyuan expectantly.

“Hmm? Could it be that the Hunyuan Longevity Restoration Art has been lost?” Jia Fengyuan was a little puzzled.

“It hasn't been lost, but that Hunyuan Longevity Restoration Art requires indiscriminate killing of innocents, which is harmful to the heavens, and this junior can't bring himself to do it." Qiao Yu explained.

"That's true." Jia Fengyuan shook his head. "Although the Hunyuan Longevity Restoration Art can indeed replenish lifespan, the side effects are indeed too severe."

“If a woman cultivates it, she will never be able to bear children in this lifetime; while if a man cultivates it, every time he uses the Hunyuan Longevity Restoration Art, it will shorten by an inch, until the penis retracts into the abdomen. It’s normal that you can’t accept it.”

After hearing Jia Fengyuan's words, Qiao Yu instantly widened his eyes.

"What?! Shorten by an inch every time?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you know?" Jia Fengyuan's eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

Qiao Yu was stunned. An inch is almost 3.33 centimeters. Even if he is exceptionally talented, it won't take him a few hundred times to lose it all.

In this way, wouldn't he have to go around like King Chariot Cao Feng to find the remains of Lama?

But when Rui Wei gave him the Hunyuan Longevity Restoration Art, she didn't tell him about this side effect!

Alright!

Rui Wei, you bitch, if you are unrighteous first, then don't blame me for being unfaithful! I'm determined to embezzle this Styx Staff!

Originally, Qiao Yu felt that it was a bit unethical to embezzle something from Huangquan Birasaka, but now the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace.

This Styx Staff will be considered Rui Wei's compensation for scheming against him.

An S-grade +9 equipment, Qiao Yu has never seen such a good thing in his life.

"If you don't want to cultivate the Hunyuan Longevity Restoration Art, there is indeed another way... but... it will be extremely painful!" Jia Fengyuan frowned and said.

"Oh? It's okay, a little bit of pain is completely trivial. Old Ancestor Fengyuan, tell me quickly what to do." Qiao Yu's eyes were full of light.

"Wash the marrow and rebuild the body." Jia Fengyuan narrowed his eyes and said each word carefully.

"Wash the marrow and rebuild the body?" Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, what you're cultivating should be one of the extremely powerful physiques in the underworld, the Youming Rakshasa Body, right?"

Jia Fengyuan's words shocked Qiao Yu's mind.

Since he started cultivating the Youming Rakshasa Body, it was the first time someone had recognized it.

"Don't be nervous, I'm also an owner of a special physique, but I don't have such good luck as you."

Jia Fengyuan's eyes were filled with envy for Qiao Yu.

"Speaking of which, this is also an opportunity for you."

"The cultivation of the Youming Rakshasa Body relies on absorbing the essence, energy, spirit, and soul of the dead and turning them into ghost energy. However, the people you kill are strong and weak, which leads to the fact that although your Youming Rakshasa Body has been completed, it still has flaws."

"Rebuilding the body, directly absorbing the purest ghost energy in this Styx, can allow you to reshape the Youming Rakshasa Body. Not only can your lifespan be restored, but even your combat power will be even higher!"

The more Qiao Yu listened, the brighter his eyes became.

"Old Ancestor, then what are we waiting for? I'm not afraid of pain, let's start quickly! Hurry, hurry, destroy me!"

"Then you have to be mentally prepared, it's estimated that it will be a little painful. Control your strength, don't resist me!"

Jia Fengyuan stretched out two fingers and, in Qiao Yu's expectant gaze, gently tapped them on his forehead.

In an instant, Qiao Yu felt an indescribable burning power rush into his body.

"Ooh..."

A fierce ghost howl came from Qiao Yu's body, piercing through metal and cracking rocks.

Then countless black shadows gushed out from Qiao Yu's body, all wanting to escape from Qiao Yu's body.

But they seemed to be bound by something, and could only linger around Qiao Yu.

"Huh? It doesn't seem very painful." Qiao Yu scratched his head in confusion.

"Calm your mind, it's just the beginning!" Jia Fengyuan shouted in a deep voice.

The next second, a black shadow broke away from Qiao Yu's body, Qiao Yu's pupils shrank instantly, he gritted his teeth, and veins burst out on his forehead.

The detachment of that black shadow was like pulling a bone out from inside his body, making him wish he were dead.

After a long while, Qiao Yu finally gasped for breath.

"Fortunately, fortunately... it seems like this level of pain is still acceptable... acceptable my ass!!!"

Qiao Yu roared out with red eyes. Just as he was about to say that he could still endure it, three black shadows rushed out of his body in a row.

That kind of pain was like someone alive pulling three bloody bones out of his body, almost causing him to faint.

What's even more terrifying is that this seems to be just the beginning.

Accompanying the extraction of one black shadow after another, every time one was extracted, Qiao Yu felt like someone was taking a bone from his body.

Those black shadows came one after another, not giving Qiao Yu the slightest chance to breathe. He was now in so much pain that he couldn't speak at all.

These were all the ghost energies that Qiao Yu had absorbed into his body before. Now that he needed to rebuild his body, it meant that he had to expel all these ghost energies from his body.

"Stay awake, don't faint! When the old body is abandoned, the new body will break ground!" Jia Fengyuan shouted in a deep voice.

Qiao Yu gritted his teeth and endured it desperately, while forcing his mind to stay clear, and more clearly feeling this pain.

He is now abandoning his physique, feeling pain, not being harmed.

Therefore, even the Undying Body couldn't help him.

The extraction of ghost energy lasted for five or six hours before it was completed.

Countless times in the middle, Qiao Yu wanted to give up, but when he thought of those who were still waiting for him, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

How could he fall in this place!

The feeling that Qiao Yu got in just five or six hours was even longer than five or six years.

When the ghost energy completely left Qiao Yu's body, his Youming Rakshasa Body instantly collapsed.

An indescribable feeling of weakness surged into his mind. Without the completed Youming Rakshasa Body, Qiao Yu's combat power was at least directly halved.

The current Qiao Yu has completely recovered his original physique. The current him is just a mortal body.

"The old body has been abandoned, the new body should be forged! Calm your mind, sense the ghost energy in this Styx, and absorb them into your body!"

Jia Fengyuan's shout was like a thunderbolt falling on Qiao Yu's mind, instantly waking up his head, which was a little dizzy from the pain.

Then Qiao Yu felt a new force pouring into his body. He understood that it was Jia Fengyuan who was doing his best to help him!

Qiao Yu didn't hesitate at all and immediately closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.

He activated the cultivation method of the Youming Rakshasa Body and began to sense the ghost energy in this Styx.

Compared to the ghost energy he obtained from killing enemies himself, the ghost energy of this Styx was purer and more refined!

After sensing Qiao Yu's call, these ghost energies gathered towards Qiao Yu's body as if they had found their direction.

A huge ghost energy, like a world-destroying ghost dragon, rushed straight down and crashed into Qiao Yu's body.

Qiao Yu groaned. Although it was also very uncomfortable for ghost energy to enter his body, compared to the pain of extracting ghost energy, it was completely insignificant.

For ten consecutive days, Qiao Yu sat cross-legged at the bottom of the Styx without moving. The pure ghost energy in the Styx kept pouring into his body.

Youming Rakshasa Body, Minor Accomplishment!

An indescribable sense of power came from within his body, causing Qiao Yu to be pleasantly surprised.

Qiao Yu vaguely had a feeling that the Youming Rakshasa Body after being rebuilt, even if it was only in the minor accomplishment realm, could almost directly catch up with the previous completed realm.

And Qiao Yu's appearance also recovered a lot, vaguely looking like middle age.

He didn't dare to slack off, closed his eyes and continued to absorb the ghost energy in the Styx.

This Styx didn't know how long it had existed, and the ghost energy inside seemed to be endless. No matter how much Qiao Yu absorbed, he couldn't see the end.

Another twenty days passed in this sitting position.

Qiao Yu had been missing for a whole month, and the outside world had already exploded.
