Chapter 231: The Astonishing Effects of Hundred Spirit Blood

On the desolate island, Jiang Ning slowly opened the golden box in his hand.

The next moment, a voice whispered in his ear, and the familiar environment reappeared before him.

In the boundless sea of blood, as the illusion of floating corpses emerged, Jiang Ning's pupils constricted, and the burst of psychic energy instantly shattered the illusion before his eyes.

The events that had just occurred now seemed like a hallucination, and all he could hear was the lake breeze and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

"This is indeed a bit mysterious!" Jiang Ning muttered as he gazed at the divine statue immersed in the blood before him.

Then, his gaze fell upon the blood within the box.

Earlier, he had taken ten drops of Hundred Spirit Blood from the box and given them to Lin Qingyi, and now the amount of blood inside the box had visibly decreased by about one-tenth of its original volume.

At the same time, as the box opened, a rich fragrance wafted into Jiang Ning's nose, a scent that could not be described as any kind of fragrance he had smelled before.

Instead, it was a scent that came from his body's innate desires, a yearning from every cell within him.

It seemed that this blood had immense benefits for the human body, and his flesh could not help but feel a sense of greed.

Then, a drop of blood floated out of the box, and Jiang Ning immediately closed the lid of the golden box.

As the lid closed, the yearning from every cell in his body suddenly diminished.

Although the floating drop of blood still held an irresistible allure, it no longer made him feel like he was about to lose control.

"It should be fine!"

Gazing at the drop of blood floating before him, Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

As his words fell, Jiang Ning slightly opened his mouth, and the drop of Hundred Spirit Blood, emitting a tempting aura, suddenly shot into his mouth.

The moment the Hundred Spirit Blood entered his mouth, it was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, instantly disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, Jiang Ning felt an extreme sense of pleasure, a cheer from every cell in his body, a cheer that spread throughout his entire being.

This pleasure far surpassed any physical sensation he had ever experienced.

He felt as if he were floating in the clouds, his soul wandering beyond the heavens.

After a few breaths, the pleasure gradually subsided, and Jiang Ning regained his senses.

Then, he immediately focused his inner vision on his body and instantly felt a sense of satisfaction emanating from every cell within him.

The Hundred Spirit Blood had already dissipated within his body, leaving no trace.

However, Jiang Ning could sense that the Hundred Spirit Blood had brought about significant effects after entering his body.

His vital energy was rapidly surging.

After quietly experiencing the changes in his body for a moment, Jiang Ning finally opened his eyes.

"The Hundred Spirit Blood is truly astonishing. It doesn't require refining and starts taking effect as soon as it enters the body."

"Of course, this is the best auxiliary item for a Blood Exchange Master, so it's only natural that its effects are powerful!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, and after swallowing the blood, he clenched his fist, feeling a subtle enhancement in his physical body.

The increase in vital energy would bring about comprehensive changes to his physical body.

Even though he was still at the Copper Skin Stage, his current physical strength far surpassed the moment when he had reached the ninth level of mastery.

With his current physical strength, even an ordinary fine iron longsword would struggle to inflict significant damage on him, as he had tested this before.

Then, another drop of blood floated out of the slightly open box and instantly flew into Jiang Ning's mouth.

This time, he carefully observed for a moment.

He immediately noticed that the drop of Hundred Spirit Blood entering his mouth was like a drop of water falling onto parched sand.

In just an instant, it completely merged with his body.

Jiang Ning once again felt pleasure and cheers from every part of his body.

He closed his eyes, quietly experiencing this transformation.

After a moment, Jiang Ning opened his eyes and muttered, "The Hundred Spirit Blood doesn't just enhance vital energy; it seems to contain certain substances that can bring about a transformative effect on the blood within the body."

"Perhaps this is why it's the best auxiliary item for a Blood Exchange Master," Jiang Ning said, opening his eyes and speaking to himself.

At this moment, he also felt the emotions of every cell in his body, as if they were speaking to him.

It's not enough! I need more!

After a few breaths, Jiang Ning opened the lid of the golden box again, and a drop of Hundred Spirit Blood flew out once more, entering his mouth.

Then, another drop.

And another.

Twelve drops in a row, and he felt a sense of satisfaction spreading throughout his body.

Even when he opened the lid and smelled that scent, not a single cell within his body conveyed a sense of yearning or greed.

"It seems I'm full," Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He took another look at the open golden box.

The initial yearning was indeed gone.

"It seems I really am full!"

Then, he closed the box.

He once again sensed the changes within his body, and instantly felt his vital energy power surging like a gushing wellspring.

This growth rate far exceeded that of any natural treasures he had used before.

Clenching his fist, he instantly mobilized his vital energy power.

Boom!

His vital energy surged, flowing like a mighty river, roaring like a mountain and a sea, with a formidable momentum.

"The changes are very obvious!" Jiang Ning's face lit up with joy, "This treasure is indeed worthy of being used by a Grandmaster!"

After half an incense stick's time.

Jiang Ning continued to sense the changes in his body for half an incense stick's time.

In just half an incense stick's time, he also felt that his vital energy power had increased by more than twenty percent compared to before.

This growth rate was extremely exaggerated in Jiang Ning's eyes.

It should be known that the strength of his vital energy had already reached the level of 'Vital Energy Like a River'.

This level was the total amount of vital energy that a sixth-rank Martial Dao, second step of Bone Forging, Mystic Bone Realm martial artist could possess.

The sixth-rank Bone Forging had a total of three steps, with each step being more challenging than the last, and the improvements brought by each step were also greater.

Every comprehensive transformation of the bones would lead to further metamorphosis of the tendons, flesh, and skin, which could also be called sublimation.

Therefore, the strength gap between each step for a sixth-rank martial artist was even greater than before reaching the sixth rank.

Furthermore, the gap between each level would also become increasingly larger from then on.

The second step of the Bone Forging Realm, the Mystic Bone Realm martial artist, had twice the amount of vital energy as the first step, 'Vital Energy Like a River'.

This showed just how terrifying the amount of vital energy at the 'Vital Energy Like a River' level was.

He had already reached the 'Vital Energy Like a River' level, and now with the absorption of twelve drops of Hundred Spirit Blood, in just half an incense stick's time, his total vital energy had increased by more than twenty percent.

Such a massive increase once again demonstrated the powerful effects of the Hundred Spirit Blood.

"It's indeed worthy of being a treasure needed to enter the Grandmaster realm!" Jiang Ning exclaimed in admiration.

Then, he glanced at his panel.

【Skill】:

Literary Proficiency (Four Times Limit Break 3/5000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses, Keen Mind, Exceptional Insight)



Five-Animal Fist (One Time Limit Break 787/2000) (Characteristics: Essence Stored in Five Viscera)



Gale Thunder Archery (Three Times Limit Break 49/4000) (Characteristics: Gale Thunder Breath, Heart's Arrow Technique, Gale Thunder Arrow)



Waterfire Essence Technique (Minor Accomplishment 54/500)



These four skills were all that remained in his eyes.

During the time his body digested the Hundred Spirit Blood, he didn't need to make any movements.

So Jiang Ning immediately focused on his panel.

Taking advantage of his body digesting the Hundred Spirit Blood, he could choose a skill to gain experience.

Today, he had absorbed the Hundred Spirit Blood, and its powerful effects were evident.

It was clear that tomorrow, he would definitely experience a surge in essence energy points.

The limit breaks in skills also provided the most noticeable increase in his strength.

Then, he finished looking through these four skills one by one.

Jiang Ning fell into deep thought.

Literary Proficiency had just completed four times limit break, and this skill's limit break had greatly improved him, causing his psychic energy to directly break through and form a hundred-meter psychic energy field around his body.

Such powerful effects made him extremely satisfied.

However, this skill wasn't easy to level up at the moment.

Read the correct version at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu.

He had already read all the books available.

Reading a book twice brought no additional benefits.

Moreover, randomly rearranging the text of books couldn't increase experience points, something he had tested before.

After some thought, he temporarily gave up on gaining experience for this skill.

His gaze then fell on the Five-Animal Fist, Gale Thunder Archery, and Waterfire Essence Technique.

After a moment of contemplation.

He decided to start leveling up the Waterfire Essence Technique later.

The Waterfire Essence Technique was a superior martial art.

It was his only superior martial art.

Based on his experience, limit breaking a superior martial art would undoubtedly bring more powerful effects.

Just like the Gale Thunder Archery, a superior martial art, which greatly enhanced his long-range combat abilities.

If it weren't for his current possession of the Peak Blade Technique that gathered essence, energy, and spirit into one, the three times limit break Gale Thunder Archery would be his most powerful long-range attack.

With his archery skills, he could normally fight across cultivation realms.

Especially with a suitable location, the three times limit break Gale Thunder Archery would allow him to kill any sixth-rank martial artist with seventh-rank Martial Dao strength.

This was the powerful effect of consecutively limit breaking intermediate martial arts.

That night, he shot an arrow that pierced through the sixth-rank Mystic Bone Realm martial artist from the Idolatry Sect.

If that sixth-rank Mystic Bone Realm martial artist wasn't a member of the Idolatry Sect, possessing the ability to transform into a monstrous form with an almost immortal body, that arrow would have killed him instantly.

Because for ordinary sixth-rank martial artists, their vital points were still vulnerable.

The wound pierced through his heart, an injury that even a deity would struggle to save.

At most, they could only hold on for a few more breaths than an ordinary person, and they had no ability to struggle or fight back.

At that time, the Sixth Rank Mystic Bone Realm martial artist relied on the Idolatry Sect's special ability to transform into a monstrous form, gaining an immortal body and surviving.

Jiang Ning was well aware of the terrifying nature of this monstrous state, having witnessed it firsthand through Shi Xiaoyuan's experience.

Once transformed, their battle prowess would increase several times over in a short period.

Not only would their flesh and blood become nearly infinite, but their body would also have no vital points.

Even their speed, strength, and explosive power would be greatly enhanced.

Whenever they transformed, their strength would increase by more than just one level.

Therefore, when such a state was slashed by a blade aura, it also revealed the hints brought about by Limit Breaking.

After five Limit Breaks, even an ordinary Firewood Chopping Blade Technique would become so powerful.

Hence, Jiang Ning had reason to believe that Waterfire Essence Technique, as a superior martial art, would have even more noticeable effects.

"I hope tomorrow's Essence Energy points can allow me to be a little extravagant!" Jiang Ning glanced at the Essence Energy points on his panel and muttered to himself.

Essence Energy: 241.31

Sitting cross-legged in the cold wind, Jiang Ning's Waterfire Essence Technique suddenly went out of control.

According to Feng Jiuge's previous explanation, Waterfire Essence Technique originated from an ancient era martial art known as the Water and Fire Canon.

Feng Jiuge also mentioned that if the Ninefold Essence and Ninefold Fire were combined, one could master a superior martial art, which was the Waterfire Essence Technique.

If one could deduce the profound meaning of the Water and Fire Canon from the Waterfire Essence Technique, they would grasp a true intention that directly pointed to the Grandmaster level.

"True intention?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself as he thought about this.

He had never heard of the term "true intention" before.

He only learned of this concept from Feng Jiuge.

"If I continue to break the limits of Waterfire Essence Technique, will I be able to grasp the true intention she spoke of?"

Clearing his mind of distractions, Jiang Ning began to drive the two extreme forces of water and fire within his body.

Water and fire were incompatible, but these forces representing two extremes were unusually harmonious within him, forming a vortex and spinning like a millstone.

With each rotation, Jiang Ning could feel the vital energy power constantly being consumed.

At the same time, the Waterfire Essence Technique's power was gradually growing stronger.

Waterfire Essence Technique Experience +2

Waterfire Essence Technique Experience +3

Waterfire Essence Technique Experience +2

As the Waterfire Essence Technique grew stronger, Jiang Ning seemed to gain some insight, and his mind occasionally flashed with inspiration.

At the same time, the prompts in front of him also changed.

They were no longer the previous prompts that only increased experience by one point.

Instead, they became random fluctuations of two or three points, and the frequency of three-point experience gain was not less than that of two-point gains.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.

Martial Arts: Waterfire Essence Technique (Minor Accomplishment 89/500)



Jiang Ning glanced at the panel and frowned.

"It's a bit slow," he sighed softly.

He remembered that more than an hour ago, the Waterfire Essence Technique had already accumulated 54 experience points.

Now, it had only reached 89 points, which meant that in over an hour, this technique had gained less than 40 experience points.

Jiang Ning shook his head.

Then, he sensed his body again.

The vital energy brought by the Hundred Spirit Blood surged and erupted, but it had already calmed down.

The next moment, Jiang Ning began to mobilize the vital energy throughout his body.

A thunderous rumbling sound filled the air.

The vital energy surged like a mighty river, its momentum powerful, and it echoed within his body with a resounding roar.

"The vital energy has increased by more than fifty percent!" Jiang Ning's face lit up with a hint of joy.

Although the fifty percent increase seemed like only three percent more than the previous twenty percent, Jiang Ning did not feel the slightest disappointment.

On the contrary, he was exceptionally delighted.

After his recent epiphany, he had already realized that after consuming the Hundred Spirit Blood, the growth of vital energy was like a volcanic eruption.

At the beginning, the eruption was most intense.

As time went on, the force gradually weakened.

Therefore, he was not disappointed by the fifty percent increase; instead, he was thrilled.

The vital energy's growth by fifty percent in a short time was more than enough to make up for at least half a month of his usual arduous cultivation.

It had taken him less than half a year to reach this point, and every moment was precious.

Especially in the current situation, with He Jin's death, this time was even more valuable.

The powerful effects of the Hundred Spirit Blood allowed him to make up for half a month of arduous cultivation in less than two hours.

This made him feel very satisfied.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he opened the Golden Box again and consumed the Hundred Spirit Blood.
