This is not like when Xu Binghu was body refining, where one drop filled an entire pot.
After pouring dozens of bottles of Beast Blood, he threw in the collected dicinal Herbs and Beast Bone.
Instantly, the Beast Blood boiled, and a green smoke rose from the pot, sounding like a beast lanting.
Xu Binghu touched the green smoke with his hand.
"Hiss!"
A burning sensation appeared on his hand, and upon closer inspection, a large patch of his arm was burned, and soon, the wound started to fester.
"This pot of Beast Blood is really fierce!" Xu Binghu said.
This made Lian Ji even more worried.
Xu Binghu handed a small bottle to Xu Ran and said, "Little Ran, this contains Snake Gall. Hold it in your mouth during body refining; it can improve your refining efficiency, but only the first ti will it work."
Xu Ran nodded and accepted the Snake Gall.
This matter was sothing Xu Ran had already known about two months ago.
Lian Ji wanted to say sothing, but before she could, Xu Ran jumped into the pot.
In an instant, the Beast Blood boiled, and the erging smoke outside made it impossible to see Xu Ran’s figure.
Inside the pot.
The mont Xu Ran entered, an endless Energy from the Demon Beast converged on him, and he absorbed it like a bottomless pit.
The Beast Blood absorbed into Xu Ran’s body started to form Demon Beasts at the ridian points, attacking towards Xu Ran’s heart, attempting to completely consu his mind, threatening to make him explode and perish.
But who was Xu Ran? With an Innate body and over two hundred sixty strands of Innate Qi within, if even the lowest Demon Beasts could take over his mind, it would be like saying tofu could kill soone by impact.
These energies of the Demon Beasts couldn’t even reach Xu Ran’s heart; ford at the ridians, they were instantly washed away by the Innate Qi throughout his body, like a flood breaching a dam, utterly unstoppable, and quickly all the energies were assimilated by the Innate Qi, unable to stir even a wave.
After Xu Ran devoured all of the Demon Beast Power completely.
Outside.
The green smoke that had been spreading all around instantly dissipated, and Xu Ran’s figure reappeared before Xu Binghu and Lian Ji.
"How long has it been? Ten breaths? And it’s over?" Xu Binghu wondered.
Following Xu Ran’s gaze.
They saw that the pot, once full of Beast Blood, was now nearly empty.
Seeing this scene, Xu Binghu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"What is going on?"
Xu Binghu had undergone the body refining process and knew how painful it was, how many hardships one had to endure to succeed.
When Xu Ran was about to undergo body refining, he couldn’t bear the thought of his son, not even a year old, having to go through such suffering.
Even if he could endure it in the end, it would leave an indelible shadow.
He had already thought of comforting words for afterward.
Unexpectedly, the refining process had barely started for ten breaths, and the entire pot of Beast Blood was already consud!
Xu Ran’s pot of Beast Blood contained the Heart Blood of the Demon Beast, all complete Heart Blood, not just a drop of diluted Blood.
It wasn’t just dozens of kinds of Demon Beast Blood, but also herbal substances to enhance the physique, and Demon Beasts ground into powder.
With all these materials added together, it wasn’t sothing ordinary people could endure.
Xu Binghu knew that even if he refined his body ten more tis, he couldn’t withstand such agony.
And now, his son, Xu Ran?
Was lying comfortably in the pot, like bathing in a hot spring, without any impact.
Lian Ji, hearing this, also ca forward to check, and seeing the inside completely devoid of Beast Blood, she too was dumbfounded.
Even though she hadn’t undergone body refining, she’d seen pigs run, as they say; she had been right by Xu Binghu’s side when he was refining his body.
The suffering endured was still vivid in her mind, and she hadn’t wanted Xu Ran to refine his body so early because the process was unbearably painful.
Yet now, Xu Ran was like enjoying a hot spring.
It took a while for the couple to react, and by that ti, the Beast Blood in the pot was completely gone.
"Quickly, pour in all the remaining Beast Bone powder, we can’t let Little Ran’s first body refining end just like that," Xu Binghu shouted.
Hearing this, Lian Ji imdiately rushed back to the house, took out all the Beast Bone powder, poured it into the pot, and added water.
Before long, the Beast Blood boiled.
But, in the next second, the Beast Blood was again absorbed by Xu Ran.
"Husband, the Beast Blood is gone again," Lian Ji exclaid.
Originally, those Beast Bones were saved for his third body refining; in less than a second, they were all gone!
Xu Binghu, at this mont, was anxiously looking around.
The first body refining is extrely important; the future steps depend on it.
Suddenly, he thought of his weapon-like thigh bone, "Got it!"
Thus, Xu Binghu ran inside to grab the thigh bone.
"Husband, this is your hunting weapon. Are you sure you want to add it?" Lian Ji asked.
"As long as Little Ran succeeds this ti, there will be plenty of hunting weapons to choose from! A re Tiger Demon thigh bone is nothing!"
Having said that, Xu Binghu threw the entire thigh bone into the pot.
This thigh bone, though a Beast Bone, was unlike ordinary ones because, when Xu Binghu killed the Demon Beasts, their Blood had stained it, so it contained a significant amount of Demon Beast Power.
Sure enough.
When the thigh bone and water were added to the pot, the green smoke arose once more, and the bubbling boil sounded again.
This ti, the Beast Blood in the pot didn’t get absorbed instantly as initially but instead slowly rged into Xu Ran’s body.
Seeing this, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were finally relieved.
"Who would’ve thought, Little Ran’s absorption speed is so fast. If not for the two-month preparation, all accumulated assets wouldn’t be enough," Xu Binghu remarked with a sense of relief.
"If we run out, we run out; what’s important is Little Ran’s well-being," Lian Ji said.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
As Xu Ran’s Spirit Pet, the Peregrine Falcon Xiaobai, although not able to communicate barrier-free with its master, could still share the sa intent.
Simply put, the Peregrine Falcon could sense the state within Xu Ran’s body; though it couldn’t grasp every detail, it could perceive the general situation.
When the Beast Blood boiled and was rapidly absorbed, even it, like Xu Binghu and Lian Ji, was dumbfounded.
It knew its master had an extraordinary physique but hadn’t anticipated it being to such a degree.
Being a raptor and Demon Beast, it clearly understood the terrifying energy held in Heart Blood.
Even for itself, enduring so much Demon Beast Power at once could be overwhelming.
However, the raging Demon Beast Power entered the ridians like a mud ox plunging into the sea, leaving no trace.
Whether it was the second addition of bone powder or the third addition of the weapon-like thigh bone, it was all the sa.
Moreover, during the third ti, it was evident that it wasn’t the master unable to absorb more, but there was no effect anymore.
To prevent Xu Binghu and Lian Ji from adding more bone powder and wasting resources, it stopped absorbing.
"With the master’s singular physique, he will likely master the supre skills engraved on the cliffside paintings."
"In the future, we can take him to the cliff to learn the ultimate techniques."
...
At this ti, inside the pot.
Xu Ran was resting with closed eyes, and just as the Peregrine Falcon guessed, he no longer absorbed the Beast Bone Power as it could no longer provide any strength.
The previously poured out dozens of Heart Beast Blood bottles, along with Beast Bones and Herbs, contained energy already saturated to the point that to further enhance the Innate Divine Body, higher-tier Demon Beasts and herbs would be required; otherwise, no further effects would be gained.
"The Heart Beast Blood, Beast Bones, and Herb collected over two months increased my Innate Qi by forty strands, which equates to a month and a half of hard cultivation."
Xu Ran was quite satisfied with this result.
He originally planned to cultivate the Innate Qi to three hundred strands before the Poisonous Snake village massacre incident, and unexpectedly, he achieved it ahead of schedule.
"With my current strength, a simple gesture can yield a thousand pounds of power. If I condensed all three hundred strands of Innate Qi into my fists, the power could be even greater," Xu Ran speculated.
"Sadly, at this point, conducting a specific test remains exceedingly difficult."
The Great Wilderness Border Village is, after all, a remote part of the Origin Realm, surviving through hunting, making it challenging to precisely assess strength levels.
