    This is Chapter 191 - Senior Sister Zhou's True Qi Circulates Three Hundred Times. Li Xu begins his violent body tempering, and while eating meat, he gets a "bonus"—the remnant of a dragon carp's soul. This fish, in an attempt to avoid the heavenly tribulation, overdid it and ended up being chopped into eight pieces and stewed into soup. It's a classic example of a cultivation actor's acting disaster gone wrong! On the other hand, a "little peanut" quietly forms in Zhou Ruolan's dantian, while Zhang Zhisu's is empty. No wonder Senior Brother Zhou is "powerless"... Ahem, dual cultivation has risks; nutrition must be balanced! Let's see if this dragon carp can "rise from the dead" and be resurrected in the future! Chapter 192 - It turns out the dragon carp's soul wasn't possessing a body, but rather "stamping" the spirit embryo—this operation is equivalent to stamping a watermark on a child before birth, ensuring 100% plagiarism detection later!
