Chapter 466: Digesting the Spoils, Points Surge!

Chapter 466: Digesting the Spoils, Points Surge!

2025-04-06 Author: Jiang Shangjing

In the forest.

The red sun awakened the world.

The once silent forest was now brimming with vitality.

Occasionally, the chirping of birds and the growls of beasts echoed through the air.

After closing his panel, Jiang Ning couldn't help but think about Li Sishang from the previous day.

He knew that even if Xiao Qiushui could no longer threaten him, he was not truly safe.

Those who do not think long-term will inevitably have short-term troubles.

He did not want to find himself in a difficult situation in the near future due to insufficient strength.

Currently, he was relatively stable in Dongling City, but the environment was far from ideal.

In the Luo River, a Great Demon still wreaked havoc, and Ye Zhengqi's attempt to subdue it was unsuccessful.

DuXian Gate now had two Second Rank Grand Masters.

This meant that the sect's power in Guangning Prefecture would thoroughly surpass the official government's influence.

The future of Guangning Prefecture would only become more turbulent.

Dongling County, being within Guangning Prefecture and not far from DuXian Gate, would inevitably be impacted.

Furthermore, the recent dramatic changes in Bai Sha County and Shen Wenyuan's appointment to thoroughly eliminate the Worshiping Deity Sect added to the uncertainty.

The Worshiping Deity Sect was backed by a deity who was awakening, and if pushed to the limit, no one knew what might happen.

Previously, he thought that breaking through to the Third Rank and achieving the rank of a Divine Human Master would ensure his safety.

However, the more he learned and experienced, the more he realized it wasn't that simple.

Even with his current strength surpassing Xiao Qiushui, a Divine Human Master, he knew he could not rest easy.

Divine Human Masters vary in strength.

The weaker ones, like Xiao Qiushui, who had only undergone one blood replacement, had minimal physical transformation.

This is why he was able to suppress and kill her with his Breakthrough Unbreakable Golden Body after closing in on her.

But the stronger ones were different.

His strength far exceeded Xiao Qiushui's, and after four blood replacements, his physical strength was extraordinarily formidable.

This was evident from yesterday's battle.

Despite being hit by Li Sishang with such force that the ground split and the shockwaves were like an Earth Dragon turning over, Ye Zhengqi did not lose his ability to counterattack.

A single sword strike briefly restricted Li Sishang's movements, and he quickly left with Zhong Ling.

Such resilience was truly remarkable.

And Ye Zhengqi was only a Fourth Blood Replacement Master.

The highest could reach up to nine blood replacements.

Among the Divine Human Masters, there were also those like Li Sishang, a Second Rank Divine Realm Grand Master, who defeated Ye Zhengqi with ease.

Li Sishang, the Deputy Head of DuXian Gate, was merely a Second Rank Divine Realm Grand Master.

Not to mention those of the First Rank, who were even more formidable.

A simple calculation showed Jiang Ning that there were countless towering mountains in the world.

He had yet to reach the Third Rank and become a Master, which was not significant.

Then,

Jiang Ning gathered his scattered thoughts.

He knew that as long as he focused on his foundation and steadily improved, he would eventually become the highest mountain in the world.

The sun slowly rose higher.

A figure practiced boxing in the forest, sometimes moving like a tiger, sometimes like a bear, and sometimes like an ape.

This person was Jiang Ning.

He did not plan to return to Dongling City today.

It was too early.

Returning too soon and arriving before Zhao Yu Long would not benefit him.

So, he continued practicing boxing, gaining experience for Wu Qin Quan, while also refining his life force and strengthening his foundation, increasing his potential.

Additionally, he needed to practice boxing to refine his life force and help digest the treasures he obtained from the WaterMoon Sword Palace, especially the Hundred Spirit Blood, Thousand Spirit Blood, and a few vials of Ten-thousand Spirit Blood.

These were originally meant to be stored as the sect's resources.

After all, these were aids for reaching the Master rank, and a sect of the WaterMoon Sword Palace's level would naturally prepare such important resources.

Even if they were not intended for Xiao Qiushui, they were meant for the Sword Palace's Elders.

Any Master that such a sect produced would significantly enhance the sect's influence.

Now, these resources were in Jiang Ning's hands.

【Wu Qin Quan Experience +1】

After completing one round of boxing, Jiang Ning saw the notification and smiled.

He then took out a vial of Hundred Spirit Blood and swallowed it.

As the blood entered his body, he could feel his hungry body voraciously absorbing the energy within.

The energy consumed during the refinement of life force was rapidly replenished.

Then,

He continued practicing boxing.

【Wu Qin Quan Experience +1】

【Wu Qin Quan Experience +1】

【Wu Qin Quan Experience +1】

【...】

Before he knew it,

It was already noon.

Jiang Ning ceased his practice, slightly adjusting his state.

He then began to absorb the essence of the Great Sun.

The progress of the Inner Dan Cultivation Technique was crucial for him to achieve the rank of a Divine Human Master.

Upon returning, he would certainly prepare to advance to the Third Rank and achieve the status of a Divine Human Master.

This journey had truly made him realize the importance of the martial realm.

Especially at higher levels, the gap between each rank was extremely exaggerated.

Even a top-notch Divine Human Master like Ye Zhengqi was powerless against a newly ascended Second Rank Divine Realm Grand Master like Li Sishang.

And even within the same rank, the differences between sub-levels were significant.

No matter how much advantage one accumulated, it ultimately had to return to the martial path itself.

As beams of light descended from the heavens, they entered Jiang Ning's body like divine serpents through his nostrils.

His five organs were refined by the essence of the Great Sun, and the experience points of the Inner Dan Cultivation Technique began to slowly increase.

[Inner Dan Cultivation Technique Experience +1]



[Inner Dan Cultivation Technique Experience +1]



[Inner Dan Cultivation Technique Experience +1]



[...]



Until the last ray of light was absorbed by Jiang Ning.

He exhaled deeply, a wave of heat surging forth, and his eyes slowly opened, bright and dazzling.

[Skill]: Inner Dan Cultivation Technique (Advanced 8811/10000)



Another step closer to perfection!

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning smiled faintly.

He then closed the panel.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, he heard a loud rumble from his stomach.

He smiled wryly.

He reached out and patted his flat, empty abdomen, feeling the emptiness inside.

He realized that he hadn't eaten anything since the morning of the previous day.

Although for him now, going without food for ten or fifteen days wouldn't be an issue.

The energy stored in his body was sufficient to support his daily needs.

Not to mention, he had already consumed many treasures last night.

His body didn't lack energy; it just lacked something to fill his stomach.

After some thought, he shook his head.

"Forget it! If I'm hungry, I'm hungry! It doesn't matter anyway!"

Just thinking about the time and trouble it would take to find something to eat made him give up the idea.

In the following time, Jiang Ning continued to practice, consuming the nearly overflowing energy within his body, and also continued to ingest the Hundred Spirit Blood, Thousand Spirit Blood, and the dozen or so drops of Ten-thousand Spirit Blood he had obtained last night.

Until late at night, when the moon was high.

He took out a palm-sized jade box.

The label on the jade box read "Ten-thousand Spirit Blood."

This was the last and most precious item among the spirit blood he had collected.

According to the label on the jade box, it contained the so-called Ten-thousand Spirit Blood.

This was the necessary item for ordinary Second Stage Blood Replacement Masters to achieve the Third Stage Blood Replacement Master.

However, this path was only a last resort for those Masters.

Because once someone became a Master, no one would not want to achieve the realm of Heaven-Earth Unity and become a Divine Human Master.

Like Zhao Yu Long.

He was previously just an ordinary Master, and over the years, he had been seeking the realm of Heaven-Earth Unity with the foundation of a Master.

It was only with the help of the Golden Cicada that he achieved his long-held wish and successfully entered the ranks of Divine Human Masters.

Therefore, although the Ten-thousand Spirit Blood was precious, few Masters actually needed it.

Unless they had truly run out of options, were too old, and had spent decades without comprehending the realm of Heaven-Earth Unity.

If other paths were also unavailable, they would choose this path as a last resort.

Because each time the blood was replaced, the new blood would drive the transformation of the body, making life feel like it was renewed.

The level of life would also be elevated.

And the lifespan would be extended.

For anyone, the allure of extending one's life was irresistible.

Especially for those who had become strong.

No one wanted to watch their body age and eventually be extinguished like a candle.

Therefore, only when they truly could not advance further, comprehend the realm of Heaven-Earth Unity, and achieve the status of a Divine Human Master, would they choose to rely on the Thousand Spirit Blood and Ten-thousand Spirit Blood to complete the second and third stages of blood replacement, thus extending their lifespan.

In the next moment, Jiang Ning opened the jade box in his hand.

Unlike the Hundred Spirit Blood and Thousand Spirit Blood, the jade box containing the Ten-thousand Spirit Blood was similar to the ice jade boxes he had previously purchased from the Ten-thousand Treasures Pavilion.

As the jade box was opened, the suppressed cold instantly exploded.

Like a waterfall, it cascaded down from all sides of the jade box.

The temperature around him rapidly dropped.

As the ice fog dissipated, over a dozen drops of crimson, mercury-like blood beads flickered in the jade box.

The blood beads were now condensed and did not disperse, emitting a faint red glow under the cold moonlight.

"Thirteen drops in total!"

Jiang Ning glanced over and muttered, nodding in satisfaction.

Thirteen drops of Ten-thousand Spirit Blood didn't seem few to him.

On the contrary, he felt that the harvest was quite good.

Because compared to Hundred Spirit Blood, the Ten-thousand Spirit Blood was far more precious and valuable.

According to market value, a drop of Ten-thousand Spirit Blood is worth ten gold pieces.

As for Ten-thousand Spirit Blood, due to its extreme rarity, it often does not have a fixed market price.

Therefore, it is usually sold through auctions.

Based on the records he had read in books,

the auction prices for it are typically around a hundred gold pieces per drop.

This price is shockingly high.

Converted into silver, it would be equivalent to ten thousand silver taels per drop.

The reason for this is twofold: firstly, it is extremely rare and hard to come by, leading to a high premium.

Secondly, it is a crucial component for the three blood replacements required for an ordinary Master.

If a Master completes three blood replacements,

not only will their strength greatly increase, but their physical body will also undergo a transformation, elevating their life force and extending their lifespan.

This combination of enhancing strength and increasing lifespan, along with its rarity, justifies its high premium.

Previously, Jiang Ning might have considered selling this item to acquire more beneficial Tian Cai Di Bao.

But now, he doesn't want to think too far ahead.

Focusing on the present and enhancing his own strength is the hard truth.

Ten-thousand Spirit Blood, not being a naturally grown treasure, has a low cost-effectiveness for increasing Source Energy Points.

However, the energy it contains is highly beneficial for his current physical body.

He needs not only Source Energy Points but also to strengthen his foundation and potential, aiming to complete more blood replacements in the future.

At this moment,

with the thirteen drops of Ten-thousand Spirit Blood shimmering with a faint, eerie red glow,

he could smell the sweet and slightly pungent odor in the air, causing his mouth to water and his body to feel an intense craving.

This state was akin to a person who has been starving for three days and nights suddenly seeing a delicious, fragrant fried chicken in front of them.

Every cell in his body was sending signals to his brain.

Jiang Ning then no longer suppressed his body's cravings.

With a single thought,

the thirteen drops of Ten-thousand Spirit Blood from the Ice Jade Box entered his mouth one by one.

As each drop of blood entered his body and was quickly absorbed, he felt waves of pleasure throughout his body.

In the next moment,

he felt his Life Force surge, and his body filled with a sense of fullness.

Clearly, this was a sign of over-supplementation.

However, he was not worried.

The Coreless Unbreakable Body had completed its breakthrough,

making his body no weaker than that of an ordinary Master, and the power within him was augmented by the Dragon-Elephant Force, far surpassing that of an ordinary Master.

Combined with his formidable defensive capabilities,

this fullness had little impact on him.

His physical body firmly locked in this energy, preventing any leakage.

Next,

His body moved like a tiger, a bear, an ape, a roc, and a deer.

The next day,

as the sky began to lighten and the horizon turned the color of fish belly,

Jiang Ning slowly stopped.

After practicing all night,

he could feel that his body had completely absorbed the energy from the Ten-thousand Spirit Blood, and the previous distending pain was gone.

Then,

he closed his eyes and carefully reflected on the insights gained from his prolonged practice.

After a long while,

the sky became even brighter, and he slowly opened his eyes.

A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

【Wu Qin Quan Experience Points +237】

Seeing this prompt, he smiled contentedly.

His gaze then swept over the panel.

【Techniques】: Wu Qin Quan + (Six Breakthroughs 7000/7000) (Characteristics: Five Organs Store Qi, Five Elements Spirit, Fist Master (First Breakthrough), Bear and Tiger Physique, Five Elements Body)



Wu Qin Quan had already maxed out its Experience Points, and he didn't know how much had overflowed.

But he could imagine it was a significant amount.

After all, over the past two days, he had been practicing without rest to refine the resources he had obtained from the WaterMoon Sword Palace.

The progress in Wu Qin Quan's Experience Points had been remarkably fast.

Next, his gaze focused on the plus sign behind the Wu Qin Quan entry.

The appearance of this plus sign indicated that his Source Energy Points had reached the requirement for Wu Qin Quan to break through.

His gaze then moved up to the Source Energy Points section.

【Source Energy】: 14877

"Excellent!"

Seeing the number displayed in the Source Energy section, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Spirit Blood comes from the bodies of living creatures.

Based on his previous tests, the same value of Spirit Blood could not compare to the growth in Source Energy Points from absorbing the essence of the heavens and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon from Tian Cai Di Bao.

Therefore, he was very satisfied with the amount of Source Energy Points he had gained.

"Indeed, a person cannot become wealthy without unexpected wealth!"

Reflecting on the past, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude.

He had only digested part of his harvest from the previous night,

and his Source Energy Points had already increased so much.

One could imagine how much more they would grow once he had fully digested everything!

His strength would undoubtedly reach a new level!
