Chapter 133: Chapter 86: Upon Entering the Immortal Grade, One’s Blood Turns Wondrous, Bone Marrow and Teeth Are Replaced by the Essence of Immortals
Zhao Yufei leisurely sat in a rattan chair, her pretty face showing a hint of arrogance. She swayed twice and said, "So eager to know? You can’t rush these things!"
It was rare to see her husband, whose talent surpassed that of millions, so anxious. This Cold and Charming Daoist Nun was feeling triumphant.
However, seeing Lin Xuankong’s "unfriendly gaze" as he quickly approached her, Zhao Yufei suddenly thought of something. Her pretty face showed a hint of fear as she hurriedly spoke, "Actually, it’s about using Exorcism Equipment to refine Demon Qi! Each piece of Exorcism Equipment has countless profound Qi Blood Runes, which can accelerate the reduction of Demon Qi!"
"But this method requires constantly activating the Exorcism Equipment repeatedly. Although it can speed up the refining process by several times, the Qi Blood consumption will increase ten to twenty times!"
Upon hearing her, Lin Xuankong’s eyes lit up. Activating Exorcism Equipment to refine is indeed a clever method! As for the Qi Blood consumption, will it be significant? Even without considering the over four thousand pounds of Ghost Frog Flesh, nearly thirty thousand pounds of Tier Three Marsh Python Flesh, and over sixty thousand pounds of Tier Two Marsh Python Flesh, the amount of Qi Blood these could replenish is immeasurable! Besides, just in my own Life Plate, there are over ten thousand points of Perfect Qi Blood stored! With so many resources, how can I worry about Qi Blood consumption!
He immediately took out the Nine-Scaly Armor from the Ghost Frog Pouch and activated its white aura to envelop the Ghost Frog Demon Pearl.
In an instant, the white aura disappeared, and the Ghost Frog Demon Pearl trembled slightly.
Lin Xuankong didn’t hesitate and continued to activate the Nine-Scaly Armor, ceaselessly producing the white aura to refine it.
「Several hours later.」
During the fourth watch hour, Lin Xuankong’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. This refining method is indeed extremely fast! In just a few hours, it has already reduced about one-tenth of the stubborn Demon Qi within the Demon Pearl! If I had relied solely on myself without Exorcism Equipment, in those few hours, refining even one-fortieth of the Demon Qi would have been remarkable! However, the Qi Blood consumption is indeed significant. Over six hundred points of Perfect Level Qi Blood have been reduced, which equates to the total Qi Blood of more than ten Martial Cultivators... For this Demon Pearl, without dozens of Martial Cultivators helping to refine it, it would be impossible to sustain! But with the Demon Pearl in my possession, why would I need to find dozens of Martial Cultivators to help refine it? Even if I take it slow, it will take at most seven to eight days to finish refining and be able to use the Ghost Frog Demon Pearl! Indeed, knowledge is power! If not for Yu Fei’s reminder, I would probably still be using Qi Blood to refine! Lin Xuankong rubbed his slightly weary eyes. He looked at Zhao Yufei, who was already asleep on the exquisite wooden bed beside him, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
...
「In the blink of an eye, six days had passed.」
That morning, Lin Xuankong was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, focusing on cultivating the Yin Talisman Technique and using the Yin Talisman Divine Thunder to temper his head and bones. Suddenly, he felt a light illuminating the void within him, followed by a tingling sensation all over his bones.
Soon after, he felt a large amount of Perfect Level Qi Blood converging towards every bone in his body. After a duration equivalent to drinking several cups of tea, a full hundred points of Perfect Level Qi Blood had been consumed.
The next moment, the wooden bed beneath him creaked, seemingly unable to bear the weight. Lin Xuankong stood up, and his footsteps made a THUD sound, like a weight of two to three hundred pounds falling onto the wooden floor.
His face immediately showed joy. The weight of my bones has increased tremendously! This is clearly a sign of advancing into the Mid-grade of the Fourth Layer!
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his upper and lower jaws. He reached out to touch them, and the joy in his eyes became more apparent.
Originally, he was over sixty years old, and most of his teeth had fallen out; on the left side, only two or three remained.
Now, as he touched his mouth, he realized—All my teeth have grown back!
He quickly walked to the bedside and looked at his reflection in the water of the wooden basin.
In the morning light, he saw a full mouth of white, neat teeth. If not for my old face, these neat teeth alone would make me suspect I’ve turned into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth!
However, even with his aged appearance, this mouthful of white teeth, combined with his rosy complexion and full head of silver hair, considerably enhanced his immortal-like aura.
[Realm: Transcendence, Fourth Layer, Mid-grade]
[Yin Talisman Technique: Attained Minor Success 86/232]
[Eight Gates Celestial Eye: Fifth Layer 41/200]
[Perfect Qi Blood: 154,686/500,000]
[Poison Resistance: Ninth Grade of the Mortal Tier 776/800]
[Heart Thought: Mortal Tier Fifth Grade 19/40]
[Fierce Tiger Roar Bone Technique: Initial Glimpse 10/25]
[Blood Eating Technique: Initial Glimpse 14/25]
Through diligent and unceasing cultivation these past few days, his strength in all aspects was rapidly improving. Besides the advancement in his Realm and the Yin Talisman Technique, there were other gains.
Zhao Yufei, the Cold and Charming Daoist Nun, benefiting from the thirtyfold cultivation speed boost he provided, grew increasingly enthusiastic in her practice. Her proficiency in the Fifth Layer of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye reached forty-one points, benefits which Lin Xuankong naturally reaped effortlessly.
With the daily aid of one Nourishing Spirit Pill, his Heart Thought strength had approached the halfway mark of the Fifth Grade.
According to Zhao Yufei’s speculation, the Heart Thought strength of top figures in the hundreds of cities of Great Marsh Prefecture—such as the Yin Talisman Sect Leader, the Black Tiger Gang Leader, various Hall Masters, and Patriarch Feng—is only at the Sixth Grade. This means that after taking Nourishing Spirit Pills for about seven more days, my Heart Thought could reach their Grade. By then, I’ll naturally have the chance to use the Entering Illusion ability of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye on them... However, I estimate that individuals like the Elders and disciples of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, as well as figures like Prefect Liy and the Black Tiger Gang Leader who have access to Royal Family resources, might not be limited to only Sixth Grade Heart Thought. In any case, I shouldn’t underestimate the most powerful figures in Great Marsh Prefecture just because my own strength has increased!
