Chapter 1901 Maximum power

　　Eight bee-sized bundles of light danced on Song Shuhang’s palm, twirling happily around his fingers.

　　Fairy Blue Phoenix had put a lot of thought into these “common” gifts, making sure that they would match each other well—the cultivation technique with the pills, and the gemstone fruit seeds with the little monster beasts.

　　All of these four things were things that Song Shuhang needed.

　　The only thing he was feeling rather regretful about was that there were no spirit stones.

　　Of course, Song Shuhang was still satisfied with the gifts that Fairy Blue Phoenix had prepared and given him.

　　“I like these treasures very much. It can even be said that each of them are things I’m in urgent need of.” Song Shuhang showed a sincere smile, and after thinking about it, he added, “Fairy Blue Phoenix, if the pandemic in the Beast Realm becomes too grave such that the medicinal liquid and the infection mitigation plan are no longer sufficient to handle it, then you can gather people together and call me. I’ll make a trip to the Beast Realm and try to cure as many of them as possible.”

　　The fat ball had cast a wide net over the Beast Realm, infecting a lot of people with the evil energy of the Netherworld. However, while this might be a headache for the Beast Realm, they were all treasures for Song Shuhang.

　　The evil energy of the Netherworld in the infected bodies came from the fat ball, so it was extremely pure. Extracting it through the lotus projection and transferring it into the Inner World to convert it into pure energy should allow the Inner World to level up.

　　More importantly, when each patient came for treatment, he could ask them to come with a medical fee. This was how Song Shuhang had collected most of the materials for his Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure.

　　“Really?” When Fairy Blue Phoenix heard his words, an elated expression emerged on her face. “In fact, those with severe symptoms have already been gathered together so that we may attend to them more easily. If Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song has the time… Why don’t you make a trip to the Beast Realm now? Or else, we can transfer those patients to a secure independent space for Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song to go to.”

　　The Beast Realm had been researching ways to purify the evil energy of the Netherworld recently-however, it had quickly become apparent to them that the evil energy that they were dealing with was different from before, and this was because the evil energy of the Netherworld that appeared in the Beast Realm had come straight from the fat ball. As such, the methods that the Beast Realm had previously used in dealing with the evil energy, such as magical techniques and medicinal pills, were much less effective this time around.

　　During this period, they had gathered together some of the more seriously infected patients into specific areas…

　　There were nearly 1,000 such camps in the territory of the Divine Phoenix Nation, which was where Fairy Blue Phoenix was situated.

　　“Now?” Song Shuhang scratched his head. He had been planning to head to the scholarly faction.

　　Su Clan’s Sixteen pondered for a moment, and then said, “Shuhang, why don’t you try to create a ‘transfer station’ in your Inner World, and let Fairy Blue Phoenix and those from the Beast Realm transfer the patients directly to your Inner World?”

　　Song Shuhang nodded, and said, “Good idea, let me try that.”

　　He sent his consciousness into the Inner World, and contacted the Inner World Assistant.

　　The Inner World Assistant immediately responded, “Good afternoon, Mr. Tyrannical Song. What are your orders today?”

　　Song Shuhang relayed Sixteen’s suggestion to the Inner World Assistant.

　　After considering the suggestion for a short while, the Inner World Assistant replied, “No problem, Mr. Tyrannical Song. Please wait a moment.”

　　After a few minutes, the Inner World Assistant and the virtuous lamia came to a consensus.

　　Afterward, the Virtuous Palace was extracted and placed in a corner of the Inner World to be used as a transit station.

　　The virtuous lamia did not care about her Virtuous Palace at all. In fact, she had not returned to her Virtuous Palace until now. For some reason, she kept on feeling like avoiding her own palace, but she did not know why.

　　The Inner World Assistant replied, “The structure is complete, Mr. Tyrannical Song. Next, you can open an entrance to the Virtuous Palace’s location. The defense mechanism of the Virtuous Palace will be activated, effectively preventing any of the patients from escaping the palace and damaging the Inner World.” Ever since the Inner World Assistant came to his Inner World, the place had become tidier and more organized by the day. In the past, when he was operating the Inner World, he would have to use his consciousness to control everything. Now, with one command, the Inner World Assistant could do what he wanted to be done perfectly.

　　This kind of “small world assistant” was a must-have treasure for every big shot who had their own private world!

　　Song Shuhang said, “You’ve done well.”

　　The Inner World Assistant replied, “For the service of the people.”

　　“…” Song Shuhang. What’s with that answer?

　　Song Shuhang’s consciousness exited the Inner World.

　　Fairy Blue Phoenix and the two girls behind her looked at him expectantly.

　　Song Shuhang nodded slightly, and said, “Fairy, let’s go look for a suitable place first. After that, I’ll give you some spatial coordinates, and you can transfer the patients in batches. How many of your patients are in urgent need of treatment?”

　　“The number is very large,” Fairy Blue Phoenix replied. “The ordinary methods of purifying the evil energy of the Netherworld have a very limited effect on the patients. Also, the number of patients is only increasing.” Song Shuhang said, “Then let’s start with those who are severely ill. You can transfer those patients who are about to fall and become demons first. At the same time, Fairy, you can distribute the medicinal liquid and the method over in the Beast Realm.”

　　His strength had improved a lot compared to when he had last gone to the Beast Realm. Moreover, the Inner World had also been upgraded once since then. As such, his efficiency at drawing and absorbing the evil energy of the Netherworld would be much faster this time.

　　After some thought, Song Shuhang asked, “By the way, will transferring the patients over cost a lot?”

　　Spatial teleportation was the ability of Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders. If one did not have the help of a Tribulation Transcender, it would be necessary to use a teleportation formation to move across space, and a teleportation formation was something that consumed a lot of spirit stones.

　　If it would take a lot of spirit stones, then Song Shuhang felt that he should go to the Beast Realm to save on spirit stones.

　　When a person was lacking spirit stones, they would naturally try to save as much as they could.

　　Fairy Blue Phoenix said, “We can open a temporary spatial passage between the Beast Realm and the Earth. With that, we can transfer patients rather stably, and the price will not be that high.”

　　Song Shuhang said, “Then, while I still have some time, we can try something else first. We can try transferring the patients directly to a palace I prepared.”

　　Song Shuhang, Sixteen, and Fairy Blue Phoenix rode the Divine Lobster’s Chariot to the suburbs of the Jiangnan area. They went to this sparsely populated area so as to avoid disturbing people.

　　Song Shuhang opened the Inner World, and opened an entrance to the Virtuous Palace.

　　Fairy Blue Phoenix contacted the members of Beast Realm’s Divine Phoenix Kingdom, and told them to construct a temporary spatial passage linked to the entrance of Song Shuhang’s Virtuous Palace.

　　The Beast Realm operated extremely quickly.

　　Half an hour later, the first batch of severely infected people was transferred over through this temporary spatial passage.

　　These infected people were of various races, and there were about 200 of them in total.

　　Affected by the evil energy of the Netherworld, their bodies were already showing signs of demonization. The Netherworld’s evil energy twirled around their bodies, and each patient’s eyes were red. Their sense of reasoning was also close to collapsing. In their ears, there was a hushed voice corrupting their minds.

　　were

　　The patients looked like they would fall and demonize at any moment now.

　　As soon as they appeared, they were scratching and tearing their own throats as they began to roar.

　　But before they could completely roar, a suction force was generated in the Virtuous Palace, and all the demons fell into the palace like dumplings.

　　After the first batch of patients was transferred, Song Shuhang closed the exit of the Inner World.

　　Song Shuhang said, “Sixteen, you stay here with Fairy Blue Phoenix and the others. I’ll go in first. I’ll be back shortly.”

　　Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded. “Okay, be careful.”

　　Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, in my world, I have complete control.”

　　After saying that, he entered the Inner World.

　　The defense of the Virtuous Palace was fully activated, firmly trapping the infected patients inside it.

　　Because the power of virtue had a certain restraining effect on the evil energy of the Netherworld, after being locked inside the Virtuous Palace, the infected patients became restless and kept on roaring.

　　Song Shuhang stepped on a black lotus, and arrived on top of the Virtuous Palace. He then raised his right hand, and summoned a giant lotus projection. “Maximum power.”

　　He wanted to test out how many of the infected patients he could cure at once.

　　With the urging of his thoughts, thousands of lotus roots emerged from the giant lotus projection and drilled into the Virtuous Palace. The lotus roots then penetrated into the bodies of the infected patients with great precision. It had already been a long time since the Inner World had last had a meal, so when it began absorbing, it did so avariciously, fattening itself up in one go.

　　After about 10 breaths of time…

　　As the evil energy of the Netherworld in the bodies of the patients was drawn out too quickly, the infected patients had been sucked dry like a mummy. They were dry and skinny, lying on the ground as they gasped for air.

　　Song Shuhang was taken aback, and his consciousness quickly swept over the over 200 infected patients.

　　Fortunately, although they were currently in a weakened state, they were all still alive.

　　Once they went back and ate some supplements, they should be able to return to their peak condition.

　　The roots of the lotus projection slowly receded from the infected. At the same time, the Inner World started operating quickly, transforming the large amounts of pure evil energy into its own energy.

　　After the evil energy was transformed, it was separated into four portions.

　　A portion of the pure energy was set aside for the evolution of the Inner World; another portion was turned into the spring water of the Living Spring; another portion was turned into spiritual energy that filled the Inner World; and the last portion was sent back to Song Shuhang

　　With the pure spiritual energy being fed back to him from the Inner World, the seven small Spirit Lakes in Song Shuhang’s body unceasingly expanded and strengthened themselves.

　　A refreshing feeling overcame his entire body. He felt as if he were drinking a cold beverage on a hot day as he felt comfortable all over.

　　Song Shuhang guessed, “At this rate, after absorbing dozens of batches of this equally pure evil energy of the Netherworld, perhaps my small Spirit Lakes can move on to Laketop Life Wheels?”

　　Meanwhile…

　　After being supplied with energy, new spring water unceasingly emerged from within the Living Spring

　　Rich spiritual energy, centered on the Living Spring, spread out across the entire Inner World.

　　The monster beasts called that were accompanying Song Shuhang cheered as they continuously conveyed their thoughts to him.

　　They hoped that Song Shuhang would allow them to plant the gemstone fruit seeds.
