Some things were best not dwelt upon, Hu Ma realized after dealing with the green-clothed evil ghost. For a moment, he felt like he had ascended to another level, but once calm, the pressure crept back in. After all, I'm just a little shopkeeper in the Red Lantern Society!
With such heavy sighs, he drifted off to sleep. The exhaustion of many days finally caught up to him, and when he awakened, it was already past noon the next day.
Sitting up, he sensed a surge of energy within his body, a rolling vitality. With a subtle internal assessment, Hu Ma was slightly surprised to discover that his inner vitality had become significantly abundant.
I have a dead man's body, and I've only managed to refine life into half of it so far. Without Blood Food to nourish me, my qi and blood will seem insufficient.
These busy days left me no time to consume Blood Food, yet why do I feel...
He was both astonished and slightly delighted. Has my cultivation increased so much?
