He could sense that if he continued to follow the steps of the Spirit Transformation Technique, he would encounter something terrible.

It was as if some hidden abyss was about to devour him the moment his spiritual energy separated.

"Pure Land".

Shiranui Sho pronounced the word with unwavering certainty.

Most people in the ninja world believe that souls and the Pure Land are just legends.

However, there is indeed a separate space in the ninja world used to house souls.

"No wonder so many people have failed in their attempts to cultivate spiritual transformation techniques."

Shiranui Sou frowned slightly.

He could just sense that once his spiritual energy separated from his physical energy, his soul would enter a pre-set process.

In less than half a minute, when he opened his eyes again, he would probably be meeting the First Hokage.

This also allowed him to intuitively feel the difficulty of practicing the art of spiritualization.

It is impossible to learn this technique without separating spiritual energy.

But once separated, it will most likely be completely ruined.

Shiranui Sou rubbed her temples.

If all else fails, he'll have no choice but to seek outside help.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing past the window, interrupting his thoughts.

Shiranui Sho got up and pulled back the curtains, and a white snake flicking its tongue made his lips twitch.

It's obvious who did this.

Clearly, the snake was not hostile; it was simply conveying a message.

He opened the window, and the white snake opened its mouth wide, spitting out a scroll covered in mucus.

Shiranui Sho caught the scroll with a look of disgust and opened it.

The small scroll records a brief time and place.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Orochimaru's invitation to meet him suggests that he has discovered something.

……

Konoha, the southern outer area.

Shiranui Sho walked down the rows of stairs, and the dim, flickering lights came into view.

After passing through the narrow corridor and pushing open the door, a spacious laboratory came into view.

The tall, thin man turned around. His pale skin, which seemed to have never seen sunlight, looked somewhat sinister under the cold light, and he exuded a dangerous, snake-like aura.

Upon seeing Shiranui Xiao arrive, Orochimaru's snake eyes gleamed with excitement as he licked his lips.

"Does Lord Orochimaru also have a laboratory here?"

Shiranui Sou raised an eyebrow in surprise.

In hostile situations, he might call the opponent by their first name, Orochimaru.

Or they might humiliatingly denounce it as a basilisk.

However, when their relationship was friendly, Orochimaru was still his teacher's fellow disciple.

“A snake, of course, has more than one den.”

Orochimaru chuckled.

Then, his eyes filled with intense emotion, he stepped forward and said.

"Where did all that meat from last time come from?"

Shiranui Sho subconsciously took a step back.

The last time I saw such an intense gaze was when Jiraiya looked at the Onsen Women's Bath.

Ignoring Orochimaru's gaze, Shiranui Sho asked curiously, "What did you discover?"

"These fleshy creatures possess physical energy far exceeding that of ordinary organisms. Seeing is believing, rather than just hearing about it."

Orochimaru clapped his hands, and three slender figures emerged from the shadows.

The cold light illuminated it, revealing three long, dark green snakes.

The two arms were about the same thickness, while the third one was noticeably larger, about the size of a calf.

"The first rule is to feed them with regular pork."

"The second and third ones were fed small amounts of the meat of the unknown creature you gave me last time."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tsunade might mistakenly think that sea monster meat is a type of beef that is a specialty of a certain region, but he wouldn't.

According to his observation, this kind of meat does not belong to any known creature in this world.

"Then why is there such a significant difference in body shape between the second and third categories?" Shiranui Sou asked, frowning.

The second snake appeared to have no significant difference from the first snake, which was fed regular pork.

But even though both were fed sea monster meat, the third snake was much larger than the second.

"That's because the third snake is experiencing brutal fighting every day."

Orochimaru licked his lips, not keeping anyone in suspense.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the third snake does indeed have more wounds than the other two.

Shiranui Sou nodded thoughtfully.

This is indeed the same as his own experience.

Seaweed extract and F meat are effective in enhancing physical fitness, but simply eating them is not enough to efficiently absorb their energy.

To better absorb its energy, extensive training is essential.

The famous Navy Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp once said, "The more you train, the more meat you eat!"

Both are indispensable.

"Xiao Jun, you don't seem surprised by this result. Did you discover it a long time ago?"

Orochimaru keenly noticed Shiranui Sou's behavior and asked with great interest.

Shiranui Sou nodded slightly.

There is no need to hide this.

Rather, if he couldn't even discover this, he wouldn't have given the sea beast meat to Orochimaru.

He needs someone to help him better utilize the physical energy contained within the Sea King's body.

In the ninja world, Orochimaru is the only candidate for this position.

Just as Shimura Danzo entrusted the Wood Release experiment to Orochimaru with peace of mind.

Shiranui Sho also believed that Orochimaru could help her.

Of course, it would be more accurate to call it a "transaction" rather than a "help".

Shiranui Sho and Orochimaru exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.

Orochimaru decided to speak frankly.

"Xiao Jun, I need more of this kind of meat, or even this unknown creature itself."

"In return, I will help you make better use of the physical energy contained within these fleshy organs."

After discovering the special properties of the sea monster meat, he keenly discerned Shiranui Sou's intentions.

Sea animal meat can be described as a treasure trove of physical energy.

But uncovering it doesn't seem to be that easy.

Orochimaru was happy to be the one to offer help.

The physical energy contained in the flesh of sea monsters also played an important role in his various experiments.

“A living body won’t do, but a corpse will do,” Shiranui Sou said.

This was the result of his careful consideration.

On the one hand, if Orochimaru achieves reproduction through live sea beasts, then there is naturally no need to make a deal with him.

On the other hand, if a live marine animal were to cause a biological invasion, he would be in serious trouble.

"Well then, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips.

"Xiao Jun, when can I have the new batch of experimental materials?"

"let me see……"

Shiranui Sho stroked her chin.

He then realized that it had been quite a while since he had been to Haijielan Temple.

"Tomorrow."

He gave a clear answer.

Chapter 76 The Blue-Haired Girl

The sea is calm and tranquil, the water is still and the boats are still waiting.

Inside a room painted with black ink, a black light flickered.

After landing, the first thing Shiranui Sho saw was a low, soft bed and a dressing mirror placed against the wall.

My gaze shifted to the corner, where a dark brown wardrobe stood, with a full-length mirror beside it.

In front of the full-length mirror, her fair and smooth shoulders and back came into his view.

Caught off guard by a figure suddenly appearing behind her, Miss instinctively covered her chest with her left hand, creating a cleavage.

His right hand is used to activate the power of the Spiky Fruit, producing sharp spikes.

After seeing who it was, her expression softened, and she retracted her thorns.

"grown ups!"

She bowed her head respectfully in greeting.

Her previous experiences did not quickly earn her loyalty, but they did earn her complete awe.

The initial awe, after several days of fermentation, gradually gave rise to loyalty.

She's an adult, and she knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

She's been working at Baroque Works for so long, and she still doesn't know the BOSS's identity or name.

In contrast, the mysterious and unpredictable young man before them...

He possesses immense strength, capable of instantly killing Mr. 5, a user of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit.

It also possesses an unprecedentedly vicious ability: to steal the Devil Fruit powers of Devil Fruit users!

To pledge allegiance to him might be an opportunity!

"You continue, don't worry about me."

Shiranui Sho realized that her arrival seemed to be somewhat ill-timed, and coughed lightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss calmly turned around, revealing her fair and smooth back once again.

This is the room located at the back of Spider Cafe, and the person staying here is, of course, the cafe owner, Miss Two Fingers.

Shiranui Sho pushed open the door and walked out.

It was still very early, and the coffee shop had not officially opened yet; it was completely empty.
