Chapter 147 Consumable Sacred Body
[They may have been disturbed, or they may have been controlled.]
White raccoons typically live deep underground and rarely leave their burrows.
[Only when a place of survival suffers a devastating blow would such a large-scale exodus occur.]
"You don't even come out to eat?"

That's right!
Because of its extreme fragility and delicious flesh, it is a popular food source for various demonic beasts and human cultivators.
[and--]
The chubby little bug paused deliberately, keeping everyone in suspense.

Nan Ran chuckled, her fingers twitching slightly as the scissors snipped twice.

Little Fatty Bug: !!!
[Look at you, always in such a rush!!]
It tried its best to get away from Nanran, but Nanran easily reached out and grabbed it with just two fingers.

It hates it!!
It hates every creature that can ignore the Heartworm's damage buff!!

Especially those who pinch people with their fingers!!

"And what?"

Nan Ran sneered, knowing that there was no need to be kind to this foul-mouthed worm who was asking for a beating.

He's the kind of person who'll take advantage of you!
[The white raccoon is a naturally pure spiritual being, possessing an innate advantage in perceiving and transforming spiritual energy; it is a natural vessel for spiritual enlightenment.]
"Ok?"

What Holy Communion?
Nan Ran's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the chubby little bug in disbelief.

This was the first time she had heard the words "pure spirit body" outside of the Beast Taming Sect.

[The Sacred Body of the Furnace Cauldron]
[The white raccoon isn't particularly strong in individual combat, but they are numerous and grow rapidly.]
[When they engage in coordinated teamwork, even large, high-level monsters would find it difficult to survive.]
[If tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of white raccoons attack simultaneously, even a single white raccoon can, with just one bite, instantly reduce a large, high-level demonic beast to a pile of bones.]
Most importantly, the white raccoon's teeth are extremely sharp.
Even the Crimson Vajra, ranked among the top ten defensive monsters and possessing extremely tough skin, could still be cut open by the White Weasel's teeth, instantly rendering it unable to fight.
Nan Ran was more concerned: "But why is the white raccoon said to be the furnace for the sacred body?"

Is it because it is a pure spirit?

Could it be that, besides being brain-dead, pure spirits have some other drawbacks that she doesn't know about?

[I just said that!]
[The white raccoon is a naturally born pure spirit, possessing an innate advantage in perceiving and transforming spiritual energy.]
[For example, it might take an ordinary demonic beast half a month to absorb and convert spiritual energy into its body and solidify it into cultivation.]
But white raccoons don't need this at all.
[The white raccoon absorbs and transforms spiritual energy as easily as eating and drinking.]
[Even high-level demonic beasts may need talent to comprehend spiritual energy, especially in the later stages when their cultivation reaches a bottleneck, requiring extremely high talent, or even the ability to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.]
[But white raccoons don't need it, or rather, pure spirits are naturally not required to.]
[They can cultivate without any bottlenecks.]
[Eating a meal, drinking a sip of water, or even just spacing out, spiritual energy enters the body on its own and automatically transforms into cultivation level.]
Therefore, it can be said that pure spirits are the darlings of Heaven, or it can be said that they are its discarded children.
Nan Ran felt uneasy thinking about her rapidly increasing cultivation level.

"A pawn abandoned by Heaven?"

[Yes! Pure spirits all have one drawback: their combat power is not strong.]
[Think about it, what's the difference between someone with exceptional cultivation but no combat ability, and a wealthy person with countless precious resources who can't even afford a security door?]
There really is no difference...

They are all the same; they will attract covetousness.

There are gentlemen in the world who do not take ill-gotten gains, but there are also many petty people.

"In that case, it really does seem like a pawn abandoned by Heaven..."

Nan Ran's lips twitched slightly; she didn't know whether to call herself unlucky or extremely unlucky.

[That's right, that's why humans like to use white raccoons as alchemical materials, throwing them into the alchemical furnace—they're excellent furnace bodies!]
Ok?
"Wait a minute?!"

Nan Ran seemed to be deep in thought: "So the 'furnace body' you're referring to is..."

The cauldron that was thrown into the alchemy furnace?

It seems to be different from what she expected?

Nan Ran recalled the cultivation novels she had read in her previous life; the furnace/cauldron seemed to refer to—

Honey-infused sauce?

The chubby little bug blinked, and the way he looked at Nan Ran suddenly seemed like he was looking at a complete idiot.

[Huh? Otherwise what?]
Nan Ran: ... She rubbed her hands together like a fly, coughed twice, somewhat awkwardly and as if trying to cover her ears, and asked, "Isn't there any other meaning?"

[What other meanings could it have?]
Little Fatty didn't understand; he just felt that Nanran didn't seem very smart.

Nan Ran coughed twice: "It's nothing!"

Your understanding of a furnace and my understanding of a furnace seem to be different.
"From now on, you're not allowed to use such scary adjectives!"

But thinking about it, the materials and sacred body required for alchemy are quite frightening.

[Perhaps what we should be most concerned about now is how to escape from the pack of white raccoons?]
Seeing that the human and the insect were actually chatting, the Frostbeast couldn't help but remind the two carefree guys to be mindful of the occasion.

They're currently surrounded by the so-called White Raccoon Legion!
"Yes!"

Nan Ran patted the head of the Frostbeast's fawn, giving it a thumbs-up.

"But how can we escape?"

Nan Ran stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down at the swarms of white raccoons.

Little Fatty's words weren't really that exaggerated.

White raccoons can indeed be mobilized in numbers of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, at the same time...

At this point, the area below was completely dark, like a river of ink.

[What a pity, your blue glowworm queen pupa has already hatched.]
Little Fatty still couldn't help but grit his teeth when he mentioned the Blue Firefly.

The thought that Nan Ran had put it together with that guy, the Blue Firefly Queen, made him grit his teeth in hatred.

"White raccoon is afraid of blue firefly queen pupa?" Nan Ran blinked, somewhat incredulous.

The white raccoon that can devour a blood-red giant in an instant is actually afraid of tiny (not really) huge hornets?

[nature!]
The chubby little worm straightened its back proudly, seemingly feeling honored: [Those large, high-level demonic beasts, once caught in a swarm of white weasels, cannot escape and perish instantly, except because the white weasels have sharp teeth and are numerous.]
[This is also because the white raccoon is small in size, making it easy for it to squeeze into the nostrils of large monsters.]
[If just a few of them get in and take a couple of bites, the large monsters will naturally be distracted, giving the white weasels an opportunity to take advantage.]
[Otherwise, a few stomps from a large monster would kill or injure a large number of white weasels; they wouldn't be completely without chance of survival, at most their hope of survival would be slim.]
[Similarly, the blue glow bees born from the queen blue glow bee are small in size and have special combat abilities; they can also crawl into the nose and ears of the white raccoon.]
The white raccoon was naturally afraid.
[Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is a natural instinct]
Nan Ran seemed to be deep in thought: "...So, you're also petite, so you can also—"

No wonder he looked so proud just now!
The chubby little bug exclaimed in shock: "[How is that possible?! What are you thinking?! I can't fly, how can I possibly crawl into the nostrils and ears of a raging horde of white raccoons?]"
You'd get trampled to death if you went down there!

Besides—[I only have one, so even if I could restrain a white raccoon, it wouldn't make much difference.]
[Unless you're incredibly lucky and happen to get inside the White Raccoon King's brain,] the little fat worm muttered in a very low voice.

Nan Ran raised an eyebrow.

After a while, the white raccoon swarm that had been attacking the giant tree where Nan Ran was located, and even climbing up from time to time, was all swatted down by Nan Ran like whack-a-mole. Their corpses instantly turned into bones in the mouths of their kind and were trampled to pieces by their kind behind them. Suddenly, they all split up and avoided the big tree where Nan Ran was located.

"Captain, look!!"

Suddenly, someone pointed at the big tree where Nan Ran was hiding, and then pointed at the white raccoon horde with great surprise.

"These white raccoons all avoided that tree!!"
