Is that a Wisp?

"Or so I would like to do, but it is impossible for me to remove my Tribulation Lightning from your daughter."

Olave and Valindra were taken aback. Right after, both of their expressions turned dark.

"Are you saying that you are going to keep using it against us?"

Feifei saw that and couldn't help but laugh.

"Stop bullying them."

Krune looked at Feifei and laughed as well.

"Alright, alright. It is just a little revenge for what they have done to the wisps so far."

Olave and Valindra obviously got puzzled. It seemed like there was something wrong in this situation, but they couldn't understand what.

"I'm not lying. I really can't remove the Tribulation Lightning from your daughter's Soul. But it is not because I want to use it against you two. It is just that her Soul doesn't have it to start with. The little bit that I left inside the Purple Flame Life Dew Pill was only enough to play that little trick you saw in the past."

Olave and Valindra were taken aback.

"Are you telling me that she is fine, and you couldn't do anything against her to start with?"

Krune shook his head.

"Wrong! If I wanted, I could have left enough Lightning Power hidden in her Soul to destroy it. But I didn't, that's all."

Olave couldn't help but ask.

"Why?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders and said.

"She had nothing to do with our deal. I would never use an innocent for my own sake, either. So whether you had paid your favor to me or not, I would still not have done anything against her. It is that simple."

Valindra narrowed her eyes after hearing that.

"What proof do you have that can make us believe you?"

Krune shook his head.

"I don't have any. Unless you consider the time to be the proof itself. One day, she will reincarnate, and I'm sure Olave can feel the location of his mark once she appears in Dalin once more. She will cultivate under your protection and one day reaches the same level again. When that time comes, you will know that I told you the truth."

Olave patted Valindra's shoulder and spoke.

"We will hold onto your word."

Valindra knew that there was really no way to prove that Jolk was telling the truth. In the end, she sighed and nodded.

"Very well, I will believe it for now."

Krune nodded.

"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want from now on."

Both parties then exchanged a few more words and then bid their farewell. But just as Olave was about to leave, he asked something else.

"Oh, right! There is a friend of mine who would also love to use that Purple Flame Life Dew Pill of yours. As you probably can imagine, I'm not the only cultivator in existence who stopped a loved one from entering the Cycle of Sansara."

Krune was surprised by that. He pondered a bit and then threw a bottle with a pill inside to Olave.

"Take it. That's the Purple Flame Life Dew Pill."

Olave and Valindra were shocked to see that.

"This... Isn't this Pill the same one you crafted a few months back?"

Krune smiled.

"The one and the same."

Olave thought it to be impossible! The Pill was supposed to have lost its effect in at most an hour after it was concocted. Not to mention that every minute would make it lose a lot of its effects. Using the Life Dew Pill during the last minutes would make almost no change either.

"What is happening here? Does it mean that you could have created a Purple Flame Life Dew Pill that could be carried around from the very start?"

Krune nodded and shook his head at the same time.

"It is true that you can carry it around now, but the fact is that I didn't know that my Purple Flame could hold the pills' effect inside. As you know, that day when you were here with your Daughter's Soul, was the first time I had concocted a Life Dew Pill. So I was also taken by surprise when I found out this side effect of my Purple Flame."

Olave had to admit that it was true. He was here that day, after all.

"What do you want in exchange?"

Krune shook his head.

"Let's just say that I'm seeding some good karma. Hahaha!"

In fact, the one who asked Krune to do that was Feifei. Krune trusted Feifei's judgment, so he just followed her request.

Olave narrowed his eyes for a few seconds while thinking. In the end, he accepted the Pill.

"Thank you."

Krune nodded.

Suddenly, Space Laws started to gather around Olave's hand. Krune looked at that and couldn't help but think about that day when he first created the Purple Flame Life Dew Pills.

Sure enough, Olave thrust his arm forward, and once again, it seemed like it had disappeared. Krune knew what he was doing, and a smile appeared on his face.

'Just as Feifei said.'

Feifei had told him through a Divine Sense Message to pass over the Purple Flame Life Dew Pill. If he did that, probably something good would happen.

Around twenty minutes later, Olave pulled his arm back. On his hand, Krune could see a total of the drops of Life Dew! Olave immediately passed it to Krune and said.

"I will make sure to tell my friend about it."

Olave and Valindra turned around and left Krune's house straight away.

Krune knew that he couldn't waste time, so he immediately rushed inside his Alchemist room. The concoction went without any issues, and three new Purple Flame Life Dew Pills came out. Krune looked at that and couldn't help but feel excited. All three of them had the same trait. They didn't lose any life energy at all!

Feifei, who was observing everything, couldn't help but smile.

"Fortunately, I wasn't wrong."

Krune nodded.

"Thanks to your Divination, that is."

Surprisingly, Feifei shook her head.

"I didn't use my Divination Abilities. Because Olave's cultivation is too high, I wouldn't work to start with. It was nothing more than something that I felt on the spot."

Krune was surprised by that.

"Like... instinct?"

Feifei couldn't help but nod.

"Yes! That would be a very fitting word for it. Divination and Instinct aren't too different from each other, so the new Heavenly Fragment might have something to do with it. Or maybe it was just luck too. Of course, I can't possibly compare myself with Rarol. That Krakat Cougar is just too overpowered. In his case, even the cultivation level makes no difference."

Krune smiled and then passed a bottle with one Pill to Feifei.

"Whether it was something like Rarol or just luck, the fact is that we got three Purple Flame Life Dew Pills. These little guys can become a lifesaver in the future. I will also give one Pill to Tiane and Ruik, just in case. The last one, I will keep with me."

Feifei nodded and put the Pill in her Spatial Ring.

Krune smiled and gave her a kiss.

"I'm going back to the Blacksmith Organization Branch in the Wisp World 9. Do you need anything?"

Feifei pondered a bit and nodded. The high rate of Spiritual Energy absorption from her baby is really starting to worry her, after all.

"Well, to be honest..."

When Krune heard everything, he was startled.

"How can that be?! Isn't it way too hungry?"

Krune pondered a bit and decided to go ask Cinty about it.

The couple soon arrived at Cinty's place and went to see her in her cultivation room.

When Cinty saw the two of them, she returned to her human form and smiled.

"I got the message, it seems like the trade went well."

Krune nodded.

"Yes, but we can talk about it later. There is something else we need to talk to you."

Krune looked at Feifei, and she explained everything to Cinty.

Cinty, of course, was also surprised by that development.

She couldn't help but look at Krune.

"Why everything about you is always this damn confusing?"

Krune's mouth twitched.

"It is not like I'm trying to make things complicated, you know? They simply... happen!"

Cinty ignored him and then took a look at Feifei's baby. Cinty didn't notice anything wrong before because she was only checking the baby's growth. But this time, she paid attention to the Spiritual Energy entering its body.

"Impressive! Tell me how many spirit stones you used already."

Feifei pondered a bit and then said.

"The first two months, I was able to feed the baby without any Spirit Stones. But from five weeks ago, I had to use Spirit Stones to be able to keep up with him. So far, I guess I used around 400 Rank 5 Spirit Stones."

Cinty nodded.

"It seems like not be using much at the moment. But if I'm not wrong, the rate is still increasing, right?"

Feifei nodded.

"So much Spiritual Energy... It is as if..."

Krune just had to hear until that part to understand where Cinty was coming from.

"As if the baby is advancing in cultivation!"

Feifei then thought about something and immediately opened her communicator. She quickly entered a specific contact ID and called it over.

"Tiane, can you come to Cinty's house? If possible, bring Ruik as well."

Tiane and Ruik quickly arrived there. Feifei then went straight to the point.

"Is your Egg absorbing more and more Spiritual Energy as it grows?"

Tiane didn't know what was happening, but it seemed important, so she told the truth.

"Yes. But I can still provide enough of it without using Spirit Stones."

Krune, Cinty, and Feifei nodded.

"As we thought. They seem to be cultivating, although not consciously."

Feifei then sent a Divine Sense message to Tiane and Ruik explaining everything that they had been thinking.

The crow and snake, obviously, were shocked when they heard about it.

However, it was then that Krune thought about something.

"Right! How could we have forgotten?! If they are really cultivating, then they must have a dantian or a core!"

Hearing that, Ruik immediately sent his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense into Tiane's body. At the same time, Krune and Cinty did the same with Feifei. Sure enough, both sides found what they were looking for.

Ruik couldn't help but exclaim.

"Already in the 3rd Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm."

Krune and added his piece.

"4th Stage here."

They hadn't noticed it before because Feifei and Tiane's cultivations were obscuring the Egg and Baby's ones.

Still, Feifei couldn't help but comment.

"Isn't it way too low for the amount of Spiritual Energy absorbed until now?"

Cinty immediately shook her head.

"You must remember that they are doing it unconsciously, so there is no doubt that the majority of the energy is being wasted. It's simple as that. As for why they can already absorb Spiritual Energy... Could it be the Elemental Meridians?"

Feifei and Tiane nodded.

"We also thought about this possibility."

But that's where the problem resided.

"The Myriad Energies Technique is, after all, a technique. Can it really be passed down like bloodlines?"

Krune pondered a bit and reached a conclusion.

"Most likely. As for a reason, it is very simple. Do you remember that when we were creating the Pseudo Energy Meridians, we could destroy them and create new ones?"

Everyone in the room nodded. It was really possible to make it with the Pseudo Energy Meridians.

Krune then continued.

"At that point, the Myriad Energies Technique could really be considered only that, a technique. But after we created the real Energy Meridians, it became impossible to get rid of them. Think a little, whether you are cultivating or not, they are always there, they are part of your body! Let alone after they evolved into the Elemental Meridians."

Suddenly, Krune's eyes lit up.

"Right!"

First, Krune took a sword out of his spatial ring. He had been forging in the last three months, so he had quite a few pieces of equipment. After that, he summoned one of his Elemental Meridians and... attacked it!

Everyone was taken aback by that scene! Why would Krune attack his own Elemental Meridian?

"Arrrgh!"

Feifei immediately got worried.

"Are you okay?!"

Krune nodded with a pale face.

"I'm fine."

He then looked at everyone and said.

"I had to use a sword without any energy. Otherwise, my Elemental Meridians would definitely absorb it. If these guys can even absorb Tribulation lightning, I doubt that any Energy attack could cause anything to them."

Krune continued.

"Anyway, it proved my theory. That fact that I felt pain!"

Ruik was the first one to catch the clue.

"I see... If the Elemental Meridians were really just something you got because of a Technique, then there shouldn't be possible for you to feel pain."

Feifei couldn't help but comment, though.

"But there are lots of techniques that cause pain to the user."

Cinty's eyes lit up, and she also understood where Krune and Ruik were coming from.

"You are wrong, Feifei. The pain inflicted by those techniques were usually due to the misuse or because of a backlash. It is not like the techniques themselves are inflicting the pain. But the Elemental Meridians are different. What Krune felt was not the pain of a backlash of a misuse. What he felt was a nerve-like pain, the same type when you receive an injury."

Ruik decided to do the same thing as Krune. He summoned one of his Elemental Meridians and used Krune's sword to slash at it. Of course, just like Krune, he controlled his force.

"Ouch!"

Ruik confirmed that Krune was correct.

"Indeed, this is the same pain when I injured my normal meridians in the past. Before meeting Krune, I was already a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast. I also had a small territory with a Spirit Vein. Because of that, I had to fight a few times to protect it. In one of those battles, two of my body meridians got injured, so I know the pain very well. Fortunately, it wasn't anything serious, so they healed themselves with time."

Krune nodded.

"I guess we can proceed with this logic. The Elemental Meridians are not just a technique, but real Meridians that are part of each of our bodies. They are something that can be inherited... just like bloodlines!"
