Chapter 231: The Power of Hundred Spirit Blood

Chapter 231: The Power of Hundred Spirit Blood

On the deserted island.

Jiang Ning slowly opened the Golden Box in his hand.

The next moment.

"Worship me, eternal flesh."

"Offer me, ascending flesh."

"Serve me, undying flesh."

". . ."

The whispering voice that seemed to be by his ear sounded once again, and the familiar environment appeared before him once more.

In the boundless sea of blood, amidst the illusion of corpses floating and sinking, Jiang Ning's pupils constricted, and the psychic field that erupted instantly calmed down.

At this moment, everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion. All he could hear was the lake breeze blowing towards him and the echo of the waves crashing against the reefs.

"It's really a bit evil!" Jiang Ning muttered as he looked at the Divine Statue immersed in blood before him.

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

Earlier in the morning, he had taken out ten drops of Hundred Spirit Blood and given them to Lin Qingyi. Now, the 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 nostrils. This fragrance couldn't be described as any scent he had ever smelled before.

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

It seemed that this blood had immense benefits for the human body, and the flesh couldn't help but produce this greed.

Then, a drop of blood flew out from the box, and Jiang Ning quickly closed the lid of the Golden Box.

As the lid closed, he finally felt the craving from every cell within his body subside significantly.

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

"It should be fine!"

Looking at the floating drop of deep red blood before him, Jiang Ning muttered.

As his words fell.

Jiang Ning slightly opened his mouth, and the Hundred Spirit Blood floating in front of him, emitting a seductive aura, suddenly shot straight into his mouth.

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

At the same time.

Jiang Ning instantly felt an extreme sense of pleasure, a cheer from every cell within his body, resonating 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 spirit soaring beyond the heavens.

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

Then.

He immediately looked within his body and instantly felt as if every cell within him was conveying a sense of satisfaction.

The Hundred Spirit Blood had already disappeared without a trace within his body, leaving no trace of its presence.

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

His Vital Energy was rapidly surging.

After quietly observing his body's changes for a moment, Jiang Ning finally opened his eyes.

"The Hundred Spirit Blood is truly miraculous. It doesn't require refinement and takes effect as soon as it enters the body."

"Of course, this is the best auxiliary item for Blood Exchange Masters, so it's only natural that it would have such an effect!"

Jiang Ning muttered to himself, and after swallowing it, he clenched his fist and immediately felt that his flesh had received a subtle enhancement.

The increase in Vital Energy would bring about comprehensive changes to his flesh.

Even though he was still at the Bronze Skin Realm, his physical strength at this moment far surpassed the moment he had stepped into the Ninth Stage Mastery.

With his current physical strength, even a fine iron longsword would struggle to cause him any significant harm, as he had tested this earlier.

Then.

Another drop of blood flew out from the slightly opened Golden Box and instantly entered Jiang Ning's mouth.

This time, he carefully observed for a moment.

He immediately noticed that the drop of Hundred Spirit Blood entered his mouth like a drop of water, merging completely within the blink of an eye.

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

He closed his eyes, quietly savoring this transformation.

A moment later.

"The Hundred Spirit Blood seems to have more effects than just enhancing Vital Energy. It seems that some substances within it can bring about a transformative effect on the blood in the body."

"Perhaps, this is why this is the best auxiliary item for Blood Exchange Masters!" Jiang Ning opened his eyes and muttered.

At this moment.

He also felt the emotions transmitted from every cell within his body, as if they were saying.

It's not enough! I want more!

After a few breaths of contemplation.

Jiang Ning opened the lid of the Golden Box again, and another drop of Hundred Spirit Blood flew out, 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 any feelings of craving or greed.

"It's... full?" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He glanced at the open Golden Box once more.

The initial craving was indeed gone.

"It seems it's truly full!"

He once again sensed the changes within his body and instantly felt his vital energy 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.

Boom!

His vital energy surged, as vast as a mighty river, roaring like a mountain and howling like the sea, its momentum overwhelming.

"The change is very obvious!" Jiang Ning's expression brightened. "This treasure is indeed worthy of being used by Masters!"

Half a tea time later.

Jiang Ning continued to sense the changes within himself for half a tea time.

In just half a tea time, he also felt that his vital energy had increased by more than two-tenths compared to before.

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

It should be known that his current vital energy had reached the level of a river-like vital energy.

This level is the normal Sixth Rank Martial Artist, the second step of Bone Forging, and the Mystic Bone Stage, which is the total amount of vital energy that a Martial Artist can possess.

The Sixth Rank Bone Forging has a total of three steps, each step more challenging than the last, and the improvement brought by each step is also greater than the previous one.

Each comprehensive transformation of the bones will lead to further transformation of the sinews, flesh, and skin, which can also be called sublimation.

Therefore, the gap in strength between each step of the Sixth Rank Martial Artist is even greater than that of the previous Sixth Rank.

Furthermore, the gap between each level will become increasingly larger in the future.

The total amount of vital energy of the second step of Bone Forging and the Mystic Bone Stage is twice that of the first step of the River-like Vital Energy.

This shows how terrifying the River-like Vital Energy is in terms of total vital energy.

He had already reached the level of River-like Vital Energy, and now, with the help of twelve drops of Hundred Spirit Blood entering his body, in just half a tea time, his total vital energy increased by more than two-tenths.

Such a huge increase once again made Jiang Ning witness the powerful effect of Hundred Spirit Blood.

"It's indeed a treasure needed to enter the Master realm!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but praise it again.

Then, he glanced at his panel.

【Skills】:

Scholarly Skills (4th Limit Break 3/5000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses, Keen Mind, Superior Insight)



Five Beasts Fist (1st Limit Break 787/2000) (Characteristics: Essence Stored in Organs)



Gale Thunder Arrow Art (3rd Limit Break 49/4000) (Characteristics: Wind and Thunder Breath, Heart Arrow Technique, Wind and Thunder Arrow)



Water and Fire True Essence (Minor Accomplishment 54/500)



These four skills caught his eye.

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

So Jiang Ning immediately focused on his panel.

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

Today, he absorbed the Hundred Spirit Blood, relying on its powerful effect.

It can be imagined that he will definitely experience a surge in Essence Energy points tomorrow.

The limit breaks of skills also brought him the most obvious strength increase.

Then, he finished reading these four skills one by one.

Jiang Ning immediately fell into deep thought.

Scholarly Skills had just completed the fourth limit break, and this skill's limit break had greatly improved his strength, causing his spiritual power to directly break through to a hundred-meter spiritual field surrounding his body.

Such a powerful effect made him extremely satisfied.

However, this skill was not easy to level up at the moment.

Because he had already read most of the books he could access.

Reading a book twice would have no effect.

Moreover, randomly rearranging the texts would not 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 Beasts Fist, Gale Thunder Arrow Art, and Water and Fire True Essence, the three Martial Arts skills.

After a moment of contemplation.

He chose to start leveling up Water and Fire True Essence later.

Because Water and Fire True Essence is an advanced Martial Art.

Based on his previous experience, advancing in an advanced Martial Art would undoubtedly bring even more powerful effects.

Just like the Gale Thunder Arrow Art, the improvement from this intermediate Martial Art allowed his long-range combat abilities to greatly increase.

If he hadn't mastered the Blade Technique, a peak blade skill that gathers essence, energy, and spirit into a single blade, the long-range combat abilities brought by the third limit break of Gale Thunder Arrow Art would be his most powerful move.

With his arrow technique, he would be able to fight beyond his current realm.

Especially with a suitable venue, the third limit break of Gale Thunder Arrow Art would be enough for him to kill any Sixth Rank Martial Artist with his Seventh Rank Martial Dao strength.

This is the powerful effect brought about by the consecutive limit breaks of intermediate Martial Arts.

That night, he pierced through the Cult of Malevolent Gods with a single arrow.

If not for the fact that the Sixth Rank Mystic Bone Stage Martial Artist was a member of the Cult of Malevolent Gods, able to transform into a monstrous form with a powerful Sixth Rank, it would not have been so difficult.

Otherwise, that arrow would have been enough to kill the Sixth Rank Martial Artist, causing instant death.

Because for ordinary Sixth Rank Martial Artists, the vital points of the body are still vital points.

His heart was pierced through, a life-threatening injury that even immortals would struggle to save.

At most, they could only hold on for a few more breaths than an ordinary person, with no ability to struggle.

At that time, the Sixth Rank Mystic Bone Realm warrior relied on the special ability of the Worshipping God Sect, transforming into a monster form with the ability to advance towards an immortal body, and thus survived.

Jiang Ning was well aware of how terrifying such a monster state could be, having witnessed the example of Shi Xiaoyuan.

Once transformed, the battle prowess would increase several times over in a short period, not to mention the near-infinite flesh and blood, and the absence of any vital points on the body.

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

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

So, when such a state was killed by a single slash of his blade, it also indicated the power of breaking through limits in his technique.

Just a single ordinary Firewood Splitting Blade Technique, after breaking through limits five times, had become so powerful.

Therefore, Jiang Ning had reason to believe that the Water and Fire True Essence, as an advanced martial art, would have an even more significant effect.

"I hope tomorrow's Essence Energy Points can allow me to be extravagant!" Jiang Ning glanced at the Essence Energy Points on his panel, whispering to himself.

[Essence Energy]: 241.31

Sitting cross-legged in the cold wind, Jiang Ning's Water and Fire True Essence suddenly raged within him.

According to Feng Jiuge, the Water and Fire True Essence originated from an ancient period martial art called the Water Fire Canon.

Feng Jiuge had also mentioned that if the Nine-Fold Essence and the Nine-Fold Fire were combined, one could master an advanced martial art, which was the Water and Fire True Essence.

If one could deduce the essence of the Water Fire Canon from the Water and Fire True Essence, they could grasp a true intention that directly pointed to the Mastery Realm.

"True intention?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, pondering this term he had never heard before.

He had only heard this term from Feng Jiuge.

"I wonder if I can grasp the true intention she spoke of as I continue to break through limits with the Water and Fire True Essence?"

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

Water and fire were incompatible, but these two extreme forces were unusually harmonious within him, forming a vortex and spinning like a grinding wheel.

As it spun, Jiang Ning could feel his vital energy being continuously consumed.

At the same time, the Water and Fire True Essence was gradually strengthening.

[Water and Fire True Essence Experience +2]



[Water and Fire True Essence Experience +3]



[Water and Fire True Essence Experience +2]



[.]



As the Water and Fire True Essence continued to grow stronger, Jiang Ning seemed to gain some insight, with moments of enlightenment flashing through his mind.

At the same time, the prompts that occasionally appeared before him had changed.

They were no longer the same as before, adding only one point of experience each time.

Instead, they had become random fluctuations of two or three points, with the three-point experience value prompts appearing just as frequently as the two-point experience value prompts.

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

[Technique]: Water and Fire True Essence (Minor Accomplishment 89/500)



Jiang Ning glanced at the panel and frowned.

"A bit slow!" He sighed softly.

He remembered that more than an hour ago, the Water and Fire True Essence technique had already accumulated 54 experience points.

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

Jiang Ning shook his head.

Then, he sensed his body again.

The vital energy from the Hundred Spirit Blood had already calmed down after its explosive surge.

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

Boom!

The vital energy surged, like a mighty river, with an overwhelming momentum, emitting a rumbling sound within his body.

"The vital energy has increased by more than fifty percent!" A hint of joy appeared on Jiang Ning's face.

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

Instead, he was exceptionally delighted because, through his recent realization, he had discovered that after consuming the Hundred Spirit Blood, the growth of vital energy was like a volcanic eruption.

Initially, the eruption was at its strongest.

As time passed, the momentum weakened.

Therefore, the fifty percent increase did not disappoint him; instead, he felt extremely pleased.

The vital energy had increased by fifty percent in a short period, a growth that could make up for at least half a month of his usual hard cultivation.

It had taken him less than half a year to reach this point.

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

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

This made him very satisfied.

Taking advantage of the momentum, he opened the golden box again and consumed the Hundred Spirit Blood.
