Chapter 394: Blood Chi Smoke, The Grandmaster's Method!

Chapter 394: Blood Chi Smoke, The Grandmaster's Method!

Fourth Floor of the County Jail.

Jiang Ning looked at Long Xingyun.

Let's give it another try!

Success would be better, but even if it fails, it's still a fair exchange!

Since I took his family's opportunity, it's only right to help him.

After making his decision, Jiang Ning nodded.

"I'll save you to the end. I don't have any healing medicinal pills on me, so I'll help you with my blood!"

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Long Xingyun's expression showed a hint of emotion.

"Thank you, Senior!"

At this moment, Jiang Ning spoke.

"Catch this!"

Jiang Ning opened his mouth.

The longsword once again sliced open his palm, and the blood flew out.

Long Xingyun sucked in the blood from Jiang Ning's palm into his mouth.

After a moment, Jiang Ning had lost a few hundred milliliters of blood before he could control the wound and heal it.

Long Xingyun swallowed the last mouthful of blood, then closed his eyes and began to refine it.

After more than ten breaths, Long Xingyun opened his eyes.

"Is that enough?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Almost!" Long Xingyun nodded.

At this moment, the injuries on his body had completely healed.

The oppressive feeling of his aura was even more intense, and it was no less oppressive than Zhao Yulong's.

This was a life-level oppression.

Compared to the Fourth Rank, Grandmasters had a more evident transformation in terms of life.

Their lifespan also completely broke the upper limit of ordinary people.

They were undoubtedly a different level of existence.

At this moment, Jiang Ning also felt that although Long Xingyun had swallowed a few hundred milliliters of his blood, it still didn't leave any divine bloodline marks in his body, and there was no connection between them.

It seemed to have failed again!

It must be due to the uniqueness of the Grandmaster realm, or perhaps Long Xingyun's special characteristics.

Or maybe it was the uniqueness of the Zhenlong blood!

At the same time, Long Xingyun respectfully bowed again, "Thank you, Senior!"

"No need for that!" Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "You and I have made a fair exchange!"

Long Xingyun shook his head, "Regardless, Senior, you have saved my life! Not only did you save me, but you also saved my closest kin!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning understood what he meant.

Xiao Biechi's troubles had arrived.

Xiao Biechi had captured him before, and now he had also captured his daughter.

If Long Xingyun were to leave, Xiao Biechi would surely face a lot of trouble! But Jiang Ning didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Cause and effect!

It was someone else's fate, and he didn't want to interfere.

"Senior, if there's anything I can do for you in the future, please leave the Longxing pattern on the rooftop of Sanhua Tower. If I see it, I will appear on time!"

As Long Xingyun spoke, he waved his hand, and the mercury in the mercury pool transformed into a dragon shape as a demonstration!

"Good!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first!" Long Xingyun bowed.

"Go!" Jiang Ning said indifferently, feeling a bit curious at this moment.

How would Long Xingyun leave the fourth floor of the county jail?

The next moment, a crimson cloud of smoke emerged from Long Xingyun's body.

Blood Chi Smoke!!!

Jiang Ning's gaze intensified.

Blood Chi Smoke was a characteristic of Grandmasters.

It was an external manifestation of the transformation of blood after a blood exchange.

The more intense the blood-red smoke, the deeper and more frequent the blood exchange.

According to the records, there was once a powerful figure who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts, and his blood-red aura covered the entire city.

With one strike, the city walls were shattered, and all the soldiers on the walls perished.

Blood Chi Smoke possessed extremely strong corrosive and erosive powers.

It could melt gold and iron.

Before the blood chi runs out, ordinary martial artists wouldn't even dare to engage in battle, let alone get close.

It was difficult to even approach him.

Once within range, the oppressive force of the blood chi smoke alone was hard to resist.

Even a Fourth Rank martial artist with a divine body and jade bones who was enveloped by the blood chi smoke for too long would eventually have their flesh and blood melt away, revealing a crystal-like jade skeleton.

However, this was just one of the external means of a Grandmaster, not their true reliance or source of power.

The most formidable aspect of a Grandmaster was their physical body and their terrifying vitality.

Each time they underwent a blood exchange, it was like being reborn.

They would undergo a long-term transformation.

A comprehensive transformation and rebirth from the inside out.

At the same time, it also endowed Grandmasters with an incredibly powerful life force.

Just like Long Xingyun, his heart had long ceased to be a fatal injury.

Even if his heart were destroyed, it would regenerate.

Grandmasters possessed terrifying bodies with the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

Most of the eunuchs in the imperial palace dreamed of entering the Grandmaster realm and gaining the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

This way, their bodies would no longer be incomplete, and they could be true men.

The imperial family was even willing to grant these eunuchs freedom, and they might even bestow official positions upon them.

"Long Xingyun is indeed a Grandmaster!"

"And judging by the intensity of his Blood Chi Smoke, he's no ordinary Grandmaster!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

"Senior, I'll take my leave now!" Long Xingyun bowed and bid farewell.

"Go!" Jiang Ning nodded.

In the next instant, Jiang Ning saw Long Xingyun take a swift step forward and arrive at the corner of the fourth floor of the county jail.

The Blood Chi Smoke pressed forward oppressively.

The fine iron walls instantly began to corrode under its influence.

After a moment, Long Xingyun turned and glanced at Jiang Ning.

At this moment, Jiang Ning remained standing in his original spot, quietly observing him.

Long Xingyun couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

He had originally thought that with his unique bloodline and the powerful Blood Chi Smoke, he could quickly corrode the wall and make a graceful exit.

To his surprise, it took quite some time, and he still couldn't completely corrode the wall.

Seeing Jiang Ning's faint smile, Long Xingyun felt even more embarrassed.

But at this moment, he didn't dare to forcefully break through.

Firstly, Jiang Ning had arrived at the fourth floor of the county jail without making a sound, clearly not wanting to alert the jailguards.

Jiang Ning was his savior, and he was not so blind as to not see this.

Secondly, his current state was not ideal!

He wasn't afraid of facing Xiao Biechi, a Half-step Grandmaster, and even with his current condition, he could still kill Xiao Biechi.

But if any Grandmaster were to appear, he wouldn't have the confidence.

Most likely, he would end up back in prison, losing any chance of escaping his predicament.

After a while, Long Xingyun secretly gathered his strength, stimulating the blood energy throughout his body.

The Blood Chi Smoke intensified once more.

Some time passed.

Phew!

He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the wall, cast from fine iron, was completely corroded by his Blood Chi Smoke, revealing the dark brown soil behind it.

He turned back to look at Jiang Ning once more.

The next moment, he saw Jiang Ning vanish from his sight in an instant.

His pupils contracted violently.

Before Jiang Ning's arrival, he hadn't witnessed this with his own eyes.

Although he felt it was incredible, it didn't have a strong visual impact.

But now, under his gaze, Jiang Ning completely disappeared from his vision in an instant, without any signs or hints.

He couldn't discern any clues or indications.

What kind of ability was this??

Long Xingyun's heart stirred with great waves, unable to remain calm.

He was now a Grandmaster, and not one who had just entered the Fourth Rank.

Such strength was renowned throughout the world.

Yet at this moment, he couldn't comprehend how Jiang Ning had left.

At this instant, he felt the mist surrounding Jiang Ning thicken.

On the other side, using the Great Five Elements Water Escape Technique, Jiang Ning had returned to his own cell.

The stream of water was reabsorbed into the air by him.

As the water returned, the humidity in the air also rose.

What a pity!

Not making Long Xingyun his ShenYi Juanshu made my specially arranged entrance seem superfluous!

Jiang Ning slowly shook his head.

He had originally wanted to intimidate Long Xingyun.

Then, with his blood, he would help Long Xingyun restore his physical state, successfully imprinting the ShenYi Juanshu mark.

From then on, it would be like having an additional Grandmaster under his command.

But after two attempts, he still couldn't leave the ShenYi Juanshu mark in Long Xingyun's body, causing his plan to fail.

"I wonder why this is?" he muttered.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head, "Forget it, no more thinking!"

"Not a bad deal!" A flash of white light appeared in his hand, and the one-inch-long Longxing Pattern Jade Token appeared.

According to Long Xingyun, a drop of blood was enough to check if it met his requirements.

Is my Immortal Root exceptional enough?

He recalled Long Xingyun's words.

A question popped into his mind.

He wondered if his Immortal Root could be considered exceptional.

Ever since arriving in this world,

He had noticed the frequent mentions of Immortal Roots, clearly indicating their importance.

His ability to learn the superior Shangcheng Neidan Health Practice was also due to the advantage of possessing an Immortal Root.

Without an Immortal Root, one couldn't sense the Solar Essence, let alone comprehend the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.

The Lingbing Longsword and the Xumi Ring were also obtained because of his Immortal Root.

He also realized that his Immortal Root was not bad.

Although he didn't know how to classify it, based on past experiences, he could tell that if he were in ancient times, with the advantage of his Immortal Root, his talent would be considered quite exceptional.

I wonder if my Immortal Root meets the requirements of Zhenlong Hall?

Looking at the one-inch-long Longxing Pattern Jade Token in his hand,

He decided to give it a try!

The next moment, a drop of blood was forced out of his body, solidifying without dispersing, like a small pearl appearing on his fingertip.

Then, the drop of blood fell onto the jade token, and it was quickly absorbed.

It worked!

Jiang Ning's expression brightened as he witnessed this.

In less than a breath's time, the drop of blood on the jade token was completely absorbed by the Longxing Pattern Jade Token.

At this moment, he felt a mysterious connection between himself and the jade token.

Indeed!

My Immortal Root is exceptional!!

Jiang Ning nodded.

The feedback from the Longxing Pattern Jade Token allowed him to see that his Immortal Root was not bad.

At this moment, holding the Longxing Pattern Jade Token, he also felt a faint call from afar.

That should be the response from Zhenlong Hall!

Jiang Ning spoke to himself.

He could sense that the place calling out to him was very far away.

Much farther than the distance from Luoshui County to Dongling Prefecture.

There's no rush!

He put away the Longxing Pattern Jade Token and stored it in the Xumi Ring.

He still had a long way to go before achieving the Heaven Human Grandmaster realm.

Refining Marrow to Frost, achieving perfection in marrow refinement, one can exchange blood.

What is meant by 'frost'?

It refers to the purity of the bone marrow, devoid of impurities, transforming into a pure color akin to frost and snow.

At this stage of marrow refinement, his progress had barely surpassed the two-and-a-half mark.

【Rank】: Fourth Grade Refiner (466/1999)



He glanced at his personal status panel and promptly closed it.

The next moment, a white light flashed in his hand.

A wine flask appeared in his grasp.

Having just aided Long Xingyun in restoring his condition, he had also lost a few hundred milliliters of blood.

He intended to use the wine, infused with Diliu Liquid, to aid his body in recovery.

As the flask opened, a potent aroma of alcohol instantly permeated the prison cell.

The strong scent of alcohol quickly masked the various odors within the cell.

Swish—

He gently shook the flask, causing the wine to ripple and the fragrance to intensify.

He peered into the flask once more.

The originally clear and crisp wine now had thousands of silver liquid threads floating within.

Underneath the swirling silver liquid, he even spotted two strands of golden threads.

"Quantity change truly leads to qualitative change!" At the sight of the wine in the flask, his expression brightened with joy.

The next moment, he raised the flask to his lips and took a gulp.

Gulp—

Gulp—

Gulp—

His throat pulsed repeatedly as three mouthfuls of wine entered his stomach.

Suddenly, his expression changed abruptly.

He immediately put away the flask and sat cross-legged.

In an instant, his body transformed into a forge, with his qi and blood surging, emitting an astonishing heat wave. His mind's eye also envisioned a forge.

Three mouthfuls of wine entered his stomach.

Suddenly, he felt an extreme cold energy erupting within his body.

In the face of this intense cold energy, his blood seemed to be freezing.

After a while, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

Huff—

He gently exhaled a breath.

The breath was frosty white, like an arrow.

Wherever this breath passed, the water molecules in the air instantly condensed into frost.

When the breath landed on the wall opposite him, the wall instantly froze over with a layer of frost.

"What terrifying cold energy!"

"That thing is good, but ordinary people won't be able to enjoy it!"

Looking at the frost on the wall, Jiang Ning was secretly astonished and filled with emotion.

Then, he continued his marrow refinement.

The three mouthfuls of wine infused with Diliu Liquid were sufficient for him.

He didn't want to drink the remaining wine now.

Quantity change leads to qualitative change.

He needed the qualitative change of Diliu Liquid.

That night, the prison was calm.

However, the outside world was turbulent.

Because Xiao Biechi was attacked before dawn and almost killed, but there was no trace of the assailant.

Second Floor of Junyu Prison.

"Open the door!" Xiao Biechi's face was grim as he coldly ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The jailguard beside him quickly found the key to the third floor of the county jail among a bunch of keys.

"Was there any movement last night?" Xiao Biechi asked.

"No! Absolutely not, sir!! Last night, Wang Jiutong and I were playing cards, and we didn't sleep all night. If there was any movement, we would have definitely heard it!" The jailguard quickly spoke up, even willing to admit to breaking the rules by playing cards last night to prove he wasn't slacking off.

"Hmm." Xiao Biechi nodded, his expression still as gloomy as water.

Several hours ago, he was ambushed by a masked man.

If not for his Divine Muscle and Jade Body cultivation and his mastery of a perfect-level Intermediate Knife Technique, he might have died on the spot.

Even with the timely rescue, he would have still met a tragic end.

After a brief exchange, he concluded that the attacker was a Grandmaster, superior to him.

This instantly made him think of Long Xingyun.

He immediately went to check on Long Xingyun's daughter, and the situation was as he had guessed.

Long Xingyun's daughter had been rescued, and the guards were all killed by a single palm strike.

The palm injury was identical to the one on his body.

When the palm struck, the palm print turned black-purple, and the force penetrated through the back, shattering all five organs.

This gave him a seven to eight certainty about his speculation.

The assailant was very likely Long Xingyun, imprisoned on the fourth floor of the county jail.

So, disregarding his injuries, he came to this place, intending to investigate the underground fourth-floor prison.

A moment later—

Boom—

The thick prison door to the third floor of the county jail was pushed open, instantly alerting Jiang Ning.

He immediately stopped cultivating.

Dispersing the Waterfire Grindstone, countless rays of light burst out from his pores.

Meal delivery?

A bit early, isn't it? Jiang Ning was surprised by the commotion above.

He hadn't slept the entire previous night, focusing on marrow refinement.

Thus, he had a certain grasp of the time.

Usually, breakfast was delivered at the end of the morning hours, the beginning of the hour of the snake.

Although he couldn't see the outside, his intuition told him it was at most the beginning of the morning hours, or even the hour of the rabbit.

The next moment, he saw Xiao Biechi's figure.

Xiao Biechi's aura was disturbed.

Xiao Biechi was injured? Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat.
