Chapter 163: Fountain of Living Fluid
In the following time, Tsunade explored and familiarized herself with her Hogyoku mode, while going to the Wet Bone Forest to practice the early stages of fairy arts.
But in addition to training, he would also use his spare time to treat some ninja patients with serious injuries, as well as help Shikagawa and Orochimaru with their experiments.
Although every day is busy and she has no time for drinking and gambling, she does not hate this kind of fulfillment at the moment.
Inside Orochimaru's experimental base.
Tsunade frowned slightly as she watched the pair of Sharingan wither like flowers because of failure, then shrivel up and lose all its power.
"Your idea is really too fantastical! Transplanting bloodline limits to others is still within the scope of medical ninjutsu.
But to turn a bloodline limit into a spiritual weapon, no one in the history of the ninja world has ever been able to do this, right?"
"It's precisely because no one has done it that I'm so obsessed, Tsunade!" Orochimaru, who was standing by, took the initiative to speak up when Lu Nie was silent. "This is opening up a new path! We have to be patient!"
"The Sharingan reserves have been depleted. Of the ten pairs of triple-magatama Sharingan provided by the Uchiha this time, only two pairs are left. Should Shisui notify the Fugaku clan leader to send the next batch of Sharingan over?"
Hongdou, who was helping out, raised her hand and reported.
"Notify them. Once the experiment begins, it cannot be stopped." Orochimaru answered without any burden. He didn't care where the Sharingan came from, but he certainly couldn't accept the experiment being stopped because of the interruption of the material.
Anyway, according to what Fugaku said, the Sharingan accumulated by the Uchiha is enough for them to consume for a long time.
"Now you look like the Orochimaru I knew!"
Looking at the calm face of Orochimaru, Tsunade nodded slightly. Orochimaru and Luna had already told her the source of the Sharingan used in the experiment, but this did not prevent her from having some resistance to this kind of research.
The experiment on the Sharingan reminded Tsunade of the experiment on Wood Release Bloodline, both of which came from parts of the dead.
The difference between the two is that the Sharingan experiment only consumes the power left by the deceased, and does not require the lives of clan members and villagers in the village like Wood Release.
If Orochimaru and Kagane did this, she would not be able to accept collaborating with them, even if it meant giving up the resurrection of her brother Nawaki and her lover.
"Let's suspend the experiment for now." Lu Ni called out to Hong Dou and gave an answer that surprised everyone present.
"Why?" Orochimaru was the first to express his doubts and dissatisfaction, "Is it because of your boring compassion?"
"Orochimaru!" Tsunade glared at Orochimaru. She had some appreciation for Luna who had a bottom line.
"It has nothing to do with that. It's just that continuing this experiment temporarily, apart from increasing the loss of materials, has little effect on success.
I need to re-examine the experimental process and make adjustments!" Lu Nie frowned and destroyed the Sharingan that had become useless due to failure, rubbing his brows.
"Make adjustments?" Orochimaru was stunned.
"I'm a little greedy!" Lu Nie examined his experiments over the past few days and said softly, "The success of Beng Yu has made us a little optimistic.
In fact, its appearance, apart from the technology and research itself, is more of a coincidence! If there had not been the Ninja World War, its appearance might have been full of twists and turns and unknowns.
We want to complete the concept of the spiritual weapon in one go, and there are too many hurdles to overcome. Therefore, I decided to cut off some branches, reduce the difficulty of research and experiments, and only retain the energy of blood power.
After this step is successful, we can consider replacing the cut branches. "
After hearing this, although Orochimaru still disagreed, he did not stop it. After all, this was an experiment led by Lu Nie.
Given their tacit understanding in research, they usually each do their own research. If they do research together, one will be the main one and the other will be the auxiliary.
Who is the main and auxiliary depends on who is leading the research project.
"Since you have made your decision, it's up to you." Orochimaru said, and left the laboratory.
Since the experiment has been suspended, before Lu Nie finishes sorting out the situation and restarts the experiment, he will have some relatively free time unless he needs it.
It was a good opportunity to use this time to divert some of their energy to search for the Ten-fist Sword. If they could get the Ten-fist Sword, it would at least be of some help to their experiment, right?
Tsunade did not leave. She looked at Lu Ni who was still immersed in his own spiritual world while flipping through the experimental data. She hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to interrupt.
"Lu Nie, the Slug Sage wants to see you."
"Slug?" Lu Nie looked up blankly from the experimental data in his hand and looked at Tsunade standing in front of him, somewhat surprised.
"Yes. Of course, what the Slug Fairy meant was that it was up to you to go or not. She just wanted to express this idea and asked me to convey it."
Tsunade didn't know what Slug Sage was thinking, but that didn't stop her from making a promise for him at this moment: "Slug Sage has a somewhat indifferent personality. She doesn't care about people and things in the ninja world. You are the first one I know who asked her to take the initiative to mention and invite you.
Don't worry about any danger. The Slug Fairy is a very gentle being. You can think about it and decide whether to accept it or not."
"I'm fine." Lu Nie didn't think much about it. Among the three major spiritual holy places, slugs are indeed the most gentle.
At least the ninjas who have obtained the Wet Bone Forest Contract have learned that the slugs are not like the bad-tempered toads and the giant snakes that attack the summoners at any time, and they do not listen to the orders of the contractors.
He was also very curious about why the Slug Immortal wanted to see him.
Is it because of the broken jade?
Lu Nie thought of the Collapse Jade. Since the immortals in Longdi Cave were interested in it, it seemed reasonable for the Slug Immortal to be curious about it.
"Should I sign the contract for the Wet Bone Forest? Let me make it clear first, my contract for the Ryuchi Cave is still there." Lu Nie put down the experimental data in his hand and asked Tsunade.
"No, it's just a temporary contract as a coordinate." Tsunade was obviously prepared. She took out a scroll from her body and held it in her palm, while looking at Lu Nie and asked: "Are you planning to go with me now?"
"It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. The experiment has been suspended now and we all have some free time." Lu Nie nodded.
"Then come on. Since it's a temporary contract, you don't need to sign your name. Your blood is enough." Tsunade squatted down and opened the seal on the scroll in her hand, spreading it on the ground, revealing the spider-web-like runes on it.
Following Tsunade's instructions, Lu Nie bit his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and pressed it on the center of the scroll rune. After Lu Nie, Tsunade also bit her finger, quickly formed seals with both hands, and then pressed her blood-stained palms on the scroll to activate the summoning technique.
puff!puff!
Tsunade and Kaname disappeared in the laboratory in an instant. Shizune and Red Bean in the laboratory looked at each other in bewilderment at the two people who disappeared so quickly.
…Puff! Puff!
Two figures instantly appeared in an open space.
As far as the eye can see, there are huge towering trees all around, like swords piercing the sky. The trees are bare without a single leaf.
The tree trunk is like a white jade skeleton, with a metallic luster and looks extremely solid.
As soon as he arrived here, Lu Nie immediately felt a feeling that was different from the Ninja World. The environment here was filled with rich natural forces, but it was gentler and more suitable than that of Ryuchi Cave.
He closed his eyes and felt it carefully. The natural forces around him rushed into Lu Nie's body almost cheering. He took a breath and his whole body felt lighter.
Here, it seems that even the air has the power to relieve and heal people's illnesses and injuries. It's magical!
Although I have never experienced what the natural power of Myoboku Mountain is like, the natural power of the Wet Bone Forest is completely different from the natural power of Ryuchi Cave.
Is it because of the immortals in the holy land that the forces of nature are differentiated?
Lu Nie made a silent judgment in his heart.
"Let's go." Tsunade identified the direction and walked forward and patted Lu Ni's shoulder.
"Do you know the way?" Looking at Tsunade looking left and right as if confirming the direction, Lu Nie had a bad feeling in his heart.
There is no sun in the sky and the surrounding environment looks highly similar. It is easy to get lost in such an environment without coordinates and without knowing the way.
Tsunade's current appearance gave Lu Nie the strong feeling that she didn't know the way and was looking for the way.
"No need to know the way." Tsunade's face darkened when she heard what Lu Nie said, and she immediately took the lead and walked towards the giant tree closest to them.
The giant trees are very tall and large, with one tree being hundreds of meters high.
The distance between the giant trees seemed very close, but in fact, there was a distance between them. It was like a forest full of giants, and they were like ants who had strayed into it.
The two of them ran quickly for a distance before they arrived near the giant tree closest to them.
When I got closer to Lu Nie, I found that the giant tree was not bare, but there were slugs crawling around on the trunk, busy and hardworking.
It's just because these slugs are too small, and from a distance it looks like there is nothing on the tree trunk.
If you look closely, you will find some scattered traces of slug activities on the surrounding ground.
Here, slugs have become an important part of the ecological environment.
When Kane and Tsunade approached, one of the slugs fell directly from the tree trunk, arched its body and came to Tsunade's feet. It raised its head with its blue and white body and looked at Tsunade.
Tsunade squatted down, picked up the slug that was on the ground next to her, and placed it in the palm of her hand.
"Tsunade-sama!"
The slug's voice sounded soft and cute, and the two tentacles on its head swayed left and right in the air, as if expressing its inner joy.
"Take me to see the Slug Sage, I've brought Lu Nie here." Tsunade said to the slug in her hand.
"Is this Lord Lunie? Please wait a moment!"
The slug in Tsunade's hand turned its head and glanced at Kane who was standing next to Tsunade, and said softly.
"There are no other creatures in the Wet Bone Forest, only slugs. And these slugs are all offspring split from the Slug Immortal.
Strictly speaking, there is only one creature in the Wet Bone Forest! That is the Slug Immortal. But because of its special nature, each slug that is split off can also be regarded as a new independent life.
But the more slugs gather, the stronger their power and abilities become.
Here, if you want to go somewhere or find something, just ask any slug. They have features such as shared memory and shared vision. "
Tsunade explained for Lunai.
While Tsunade was explaining to Lu Nie, one slug after another fell from the tree trunks with a plop, as if they were summoned by something. Then they gathered into a river, merging together as they moved. Soon, a gigantic slug about twenty to thirty meters long appeared in front of Lu Nie and the others.
"Come up, Lady Tsunade, Lady Rakine! I will lead you to the temple deep in the Wet Bone Forest."
The big slug motioned for Kane and Tsunade to get on its back and spoke gently.
Its voice at this moment has a different feeling from the voice of the little slug just now. If the previous little slug was soft, cute and innocent, the tone of the big slug is also soft, but more of a mature and gentle one.
Lu Nie and Tsunade jumped onto the body of the big slug. The big slug immediately moved in one direction. On the way, many slugs that came along joined in, making the big slug's body even bigger.
In the end, it was like a blue and white mountain of flesh moving in a forest as barren as bones. The movement of the giant, the dead silence of the surroundings, and the air filled with vitality created a strange scene.
Although the slug does not appear to be moving very fast, it is actually surprisingly fast.
“That is the unique spring of living fluid in the Wet Bone Forest. It is a spring that can only be produced in an environment like the Wet Bone Forest that is full of vitality.
If you can bear it, you can go in and experience it. Its vigorous vitality will cause your body to shed and scab constantly. This process will be very uncomfortable for you, but if you can bear it, your physical fitness will have a great leap forward.
This kind of living fluid spring, big and small, is spread all over the Wet Bone Forest. Depending on the size, the increase in the human body is also different. But just like the best medicine, if the dosage exceeds the standard, it will become a burden on the body, or even poison.
The same is true for the Fountain of Living Fluid. The larger the Fountain of Living Fluid, the more vigorous the vitality and healing power it contains, to the point that it can corrode a person into bones.
Soaking in the spring of living fluid is also an important part of practicing the Wet Bone Forest Immortal Art! From small to large, step by step. It is difficult for people with weak constitutions and weak vitality to proceed to the last step.
The largest spring of living fluid is near the temple where the slug fairy lives, and it is also the final trial site."
