The cultivation techniques of demonic cultivation often imply cruelty and bloodshed, but they also symbolize unparalleled power.
Blood Soul Body Refinent is no exception.
Once mastered, its speed, strength, and defensive power far exceed that of ordinary body refining techniques, and it even cos with a powerful skill: Blood Demon True Form.
"This Blood Soul Body Refinent is quite impressive!" Xu Ping nodded slightly after reading carefully, feeling secretly delighted.
Great power and not ti-consuming, this is exactly what he needs.
Of course, he naturally wouldn’t use the blood essence of cultivators to cultivate; the records of Blood Soul Body Refinent ntion that the blood essence of demon beasts can also replace that of cultivators.
The Immortal City naturally does not lack demon beast blood essence.
Xu Ping continued to read and found that the blood essence of a late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator could still be substituted with ordinary first-rank upper-grade demon beast blood essence.
However, the blood essence of Foundation Establishnt cultivators requires specific second-stage ape-type demon beasts to substitute.
"Ape-type second-stage demon beasts?"
Xu Ping felt a sense of difficulty; the blood essence of second-stage demon beasts is precious, and it requires specific ape-type demon beasts, making it even harder.
"Let’s keep looking, maybe we might actually find it. If we really can’t find it, then I’ll just buy another second-stage body refining technique in the Immortal City." Xu Ping comforted himself since he had plenty of ti and wasn’t in a rush.
...
Two days later, Xu Ping visited various shops, searching for second-stage ape-type blood essence but to no avail.
He could only ask the shopkeepers and managers to keep an eye out for him.
As for ordinary blood essence, he was too lazy to collect it; if he ultimately didn’t find the second-stage ape-type blood essence, all this essence would be wasted.
...
Ti passed, two months later.
Inside the cultivation room.
Xu Ping sat cross-legged on a cushion, surrounded by spiritual qi like a thin mist; his mind imrsed in a state of cultivation, seemingly united with heaven and earth.
At a certain mont!
Whoosh!
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into his body like a tide; anwhile, the spiritual power in his body spun faster and faster, and the spiritual pressure increased, making his ridians bear an imnse pressure, and even his body seed about to explode.
Internal and external pressure.
Xu Ping never imagined that breaking through to perfection in the Five Elents Skill would be so painful.
In fact, he didn’t know that it was fortunate he was a first-rank upper-grade Body Refining Cultivator; otherwise, he would have been burst to death by this terrifying spiritual pressure.
The first hurdle of Foundation Establishnt: Blood and Qi Crossing.
It’s a process of transforming and cleansing the body.
Only in this way can the strength of the body and the toughness of the ridians withstand the spiritual pressure of infusing the body.
However, the breakthrough to perfection in the Five Elents Skill let Xu Ping skip the first hurdle and go directly to the second—Mana Liquefaction.
This would undoubtedly exert trendous pressure on his body, ridians, and dantian.
In the midst of pain, Xu Ping had a sudden insight, his divine sense introspected, entering the sea of qi in his dantian.
With the aid of his divine sense, the initially violent mana beca much more docile, and the extrely dense mist-like mana was continuously compressed, compressed...
Drip! Drip!
The sound of water dripping was heard by Xu Ping after an unknown amount of ti.
The next mont, he introspected his own sea of qi in the dantian and saw a drop of liquid mana falling like raindrops.
One drop, two drops, three drops.
All the gaseous mana in his dantian had turned into three drops of liquid mana, at which point the external heaven and earth spiritual qi had ceased being absorbed, finally stopping slowly.
"Phew!"
Xu Ping exhaled a long breath, a surge of wild joy filling his heart, "Liquid mana... has ford!!"
He opened his eyes, and two brilliant beams erged, reaching a foot long before gradually dissipating.
He touched his own face and hands, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The mana liquefaction, which only Foundation Establishnt cultivators possess, he achieved at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation!
This utterly surpassed others’ knowledge!
"Huh? Six days have already passed outside?" Xu Ping keenly perceived the change in ti, and was startled.
He thought it had only been a few hours, but unexpectedly, six days had passed.
"No wonder there’s a saying about a hundred days for Foundation Establishnt, it might really take a hundred days for it." Xu Ping thought to himself.
"Gurgle... Gurgle..."
At this mont, Xu Ping’s stomach sounded a thunderous growl.
"So hungry!!"
He hadn’t practiced fasting yet, and after not eating or drinking for six days, his eyes turned red from hunger.
He quickly took out the remaining demon beast jerky and devoured it with large gulps of water.
It took eating dozens of pounds of demon beast at before he felt relieved.
"It seems when establishing Foundation in the future, I need to prepare so Fasting Pills." Xu Ping thought to himself, troubled.
The Foundation Establishnt ti will only be longer, although not life-threatening due to hunger, it wouldn’t be a joke if hunger caused Foundation Establishnt failure.
After eating and drinking his fill.
Xu Ping couldn’t wait to go to the training room to test the power of his liquid mana.
He stood in the room and took out the upper-grade Blood-Drinking Sword.
In the past, when he infused it with mana, he could wield the Blood-Drinking Sword smoothly, but it always felt strenuous as if lifting a heavy object.
But now, with a drop of liquid mana infused, it imdiately refined the Blood-Drinking Sword thoroughly.
Buzz buzz!
The Blood-Drinking Sword roared, suspended three feet off the ground, the air at the tip of the blade distorted and blurred, seemingly swallowing Sword Qi, exuding intense fluctuations.
"As expected, only the liquid mana of Foundation Establishnt cultivators is best suited to activate an upper-grade magic sword!"
Xu Ping mused upon seeing this.
Although he wanted to try the swordsmanship, he gave up.
The previous swordsmanship was strong enough; now with liquid mana activating the upper-grade magic sword, the attack power could surely reach the Foundation Establishnt level.
Even with the Array’s assistance, his small room couldn’t bear it.
"Let’s test the power of magic instead."
The power of magic would undoubtedly be much smaller, and observing it could determine precisely how much the liquid mana can amplify its power.
Xu Ping put away the Blood-Drinking Sword and initiated the magic technique.
"Heh!"
With a light shout, the liquid mana flowed, and a thunderbolt shot out from his palm.
Boom!!
With a loud bang, fragnts flew, and the training room shook violently. Even the Array enveloping the entire room began to quiver.
But ultimately, the Array remained stable.
"This..."
Xu Ping stared dumbfounded at the scene before him; the once solid training room was blasted into a large hole, the surroundings charred black.
He never imagined that using liquid mana to activate a first-rank magic technique would be so powerful, the attack power at least reaching the threshold of Foundation Establishnt.
It’s conceivable that if he used liquid mana to activate the Blood-Drinking Sword and then unleashed Sword Qi Thunder Sound, the attack power wouldn’t be inferior to so mid-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
After the initial shock, a wave of wild joy surged in Xu Ping’s heart.
This strength combined with the Array and other thods ans even second-stage middle-grade demon beasts are not impossible to contend with.
"I have both liquid mana and divine sense; although not as strong as a true Foundation Establishnt cultivator, I’m ultimately on the sa level."
...
....
In the following days, Xu Ping continued to adjust to his liquid mana.
The output was much stronger, making his actions sowhat uncontrolled.
He needs more practice.
