After moving around a little and taking a few steps, Fang Ling still felt somewhat unaccustomed to his legs.
It was just like when he had first realized he had transmigrated but only had one and a half legs , an unfamiliar and awkward sensation.
However, now that both feet were firmly planted on the ground, the familiar feeling of having two legs surged back like a tide, and before long, he was moving with skill again.
This was also related to his footwork techniques.
Just as adapting to a scythe technique and then to an evolved long-handled battle scythe took time, his improved agility helped him adapt to the new legs faster.
He tried circulating his soul power and felt a sharp pain from his meridians. Fang Ling froze and frowned immediately.
"Teacher, there seems to be a small problem."
"What problem?" Dugu Bo, who was still in a good mood, immediately asked nervously upon hearing this.
His disciple's legs had just recovered and seemed to move freely. Other than being a bit pale, they looked normal , how could there be a problem?
Fang Ling said thoughtfully, "The meridians are too fragile. This new left calf and foot are probably only equivalent to the strength of a three-ring Soul Elder."
He suddenly realized that his situation was vastly different from Tang Hao's limb regeneration, or Tang San's.
Tang San's regenerations were always aided by the sacrifice of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Tang Hao's body recovery was illuminated by the Light of the Sea God, restoring the arm perfectly so that it was immediately as good as before.
Fang Ling, however, had none of these advantages.
His new limb had not undergone any soul power circulation during its recovery, nor had it been blessed by divine light.
Another major factor was the immortal herbs.
Fang Ling had consumed three immortal herbs directly related to strengthening the body!
These herbs had greatly enhanced his physique, but the new leg had not been nourished by their power.
Only the passage of time, as blood continually nourished it, could slowly transfer the residual effects of the immortal herbs to the new limb, equalizing their strength.
The lack of strength in the leg posed a huge hindrance, making his meridians extremely fragile.
"The meridians in the new leg are too fragile. Normal activity won't be affected, but it greatly slows the speed of soul power circulation."
It was like forcing the flow of a mighty river into a narrow stream , normally, it should overflow.
But within the meridians, where could the soul power overflow to?
It could only be forced through!
This caused tremendous pressure, swelling the meridians, which was the source of the sharp pain.
If he forced the soul power, the only result would be rupture.
Fang Ling's earlier joy faded a little.
"Teacher, my soul power circulation speed is now only about twenty percent of what it used to be."
The new leg had grown, but the compensatory meridians formed after the amputation had been severed along with the stump.
It was like a wooden barrel's capacity being limited by its shortest stave.
You couldn't just tilt it to rely on the stronger parts to hold more water.
Meditation would naturally pass through the new meridians , you couldn't simply ignore them.
"Hiss~ Can you take another immortal herb to strengthen it?" Dugu Bo sucked in a breath and instinctively glanced at the exotic plants surrounding them.
Fang Ling thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "I can't."
It wasn't possible to strengthen it with another immortal herb.
Even if there was a suitable one, his body had already reached its enhancement limit.
If he took another herb, the excess medicinal power that his body couldn't absorb would concentrate solely in the new leg.
What could naturally be balanced over time by his perfected Golden Body Lvmax trait would instead be disrupted by the medicinal energy.
That would hinder bodily integration, creating an obvious disparity in strength between parts of his body , an unsettling thought.
His body had immunity to ice and fire and strong resistance to all elements, but if this half of the left calf and foot didn't, wouldn't that be a major flaw?
The new leg would become a huge weakness.
"All we can do is wait, let time help me adapt. More training should help to some extent," Fang Ling said, finding no better solution.
He would have to leave it to time and his own abilities to resolve.
Once his physique-related traits fully integrated, there would be no hidden danger.
Dugu Bo had no better ideas either, and could only agree. "That's fine. Train more and let your body adjust slowly."
"Five immortal herbs are already a lot. Even if they are different types, the effects would diminish with more. Your cultivation is already far ahead of your peers , slowing down a little won't hurt your future."
"Oh, right!"
Fang Ling suddenly remembered something. He took out a flowerpot containing Ah Yin and returned the Ruyi Treasure Pouch.
Dugu Bo stared curiously at the trembling Blue Silver Grass with strands of golden silk running through it. "Blue Silver Grass? No… what is this?"
"Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Hao's wife," Fang Ling replied.
"The Blue Silver Grass clan becomes a King after ten thousand years, and an Emperor after a hundred thousand. This time, when I got the soul bone, I brought this along as well."
"What!" Dugu Bo was shocked and jumped up. "You're saying this little grass is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
Then he realized an even more incredible possibility. "Disciple, that means you have a hundred-thousand-year soul bone!"
Fang Ling smiled lightly, floated up, and circled Dugu Bo. "That's right , the Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year right leg bone, with two soul skills: self-recovery and flight, both with very low consumption."
"Two soul skills, a hundred-thousand-year soul bone…"
"And a hundred-thousand-year soul ring…" Dugu Bo recalled Tang Hao's blinding soul ring, then looked at the golden-silk Blue Silver Grass in Fang Ling's hand.
No wonder he was so cautious , this was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone!
And he even took Tang Hao's wife away. Anyone would go crazy over that.
"Eh?" Dugu Bo suddenly felt something was off. "What exactly happened?"
"It all starts with this Blue Silver Emperor," Fang Ling began, and told the story in detail.
Dugu Bo listened, his eyes flickering.
Piecing together earlier news, he finally understood why Tang Hao had suddenly clashed with Pope Qian Xun Ji years ago, leading to the downfall of the Clear Sky Sect and its forced retreat.
"I think there's something wrong here. Tang Hao wouldn't be unaware of this, and with his status, Spirit Hall would never stop monitoring him."
"There's no way to know," Fang Ling said, unconcerned about the authenticity of Tang Hao and Ah Yin's love.
Tang Hao had ignored their child for years, only showing renewed concern after Tang San awakened his twin martial souls , suspicious in itself.
"After sacrificing herself for Tang Hao, the Blue Silver Emperor left behind a seed, which grew into this new plant."
"She was kept in a stone chamber with little water or soil. Out of gratitude for the soul bone, I brought her back to plant here so she could grow faster."
"Go ahead and plant it," Dugu Bo agreed.
That hundred-thousand-year soul bone had given his disciple a new life and a promising future , indeed, a great kindness.
And Dugu Bo was a man who always repaid kindness.
Such a small matter, of course, he would agree.
"I also need you to help prepare a nutrient solution suitable for a neutral plant like her," Fang Ling said, lifting a large bowl from the ground.
Inside was fresh red blood and a large chunk of meat, kept especially for Ah Yin.
Although it was just a byproduct of another task, for a soul bone to receive this much care, Fang Ling had already done his utmost.
"So that's why you caught it in a bowl!" Dugu Bo suddenly realized and agreed. "Alright, I'll make it."
He went to select the right herbs for the nutrient solution, while Fang Ling used Weakness Detection Lv7 to observe the flow of energy here before settling Ah Yin at the shore where the Ice and Fire springs met.
