Shennong Sequence

Chapter 226: Flesh and Blood Parasite, Bloodthirsty Armor
A thousand meters below the terrain of Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl, in the divine spiritual realm stored in the stone egg next to the earth vein, Zhao Yun came to the edge of the blood field and stared at the blood-sucking vines.

Ever since the Blood-sucking Vine was promoted to Sequence 8, earth-shaking changes have taken place, but I was always on the run and didn't have much time to study it in detail.

Now that I need to stop for a day, it is a good time to study it.

Also, Zhao Yun was still at the edge of the blood field, practicing the Great Method of Bringing All Beasts Back to Their Hearts, and performing the final ritual on the eighteen blood dragon cicadas. Only after he was sure that the eighteen blood dragon cicadas had been completely tamed and controlled by him, and could communicate with his mind, did he slowly stop this mind-consuming process of taming the beasts.

Speaking of the Blood-sucking Vine, after it evolved to Sequence Eight, it brought about an all-round improvement!
The original vines were tough, and now they have made a qualitative leap. Their toughness and strength have reached a new level, and they can even change size freely!

And when faced with a strong external impact or predation, it can weave a tough blood net to hunt...

In addition, the blood-sucking vine's ability to control blood and flesh has also been greatly enhanced. In battle, it can even use the vines to accurately penetrate into the enemy's body and devour the enemy's flesh and blood, converting it into its own power...

In addition, the blood-sucking vine's ability to condense blood essence has also been comprehensively improved.

The condensed blood essence has reached the eighth level, containing more powerful and pure blood energy, and the ability to restore the vitality of the blood-sucking vine and the blood and flesh injuries has been further strengthened...

Similarly, the blood-sucking vine has also demonstrated powerful abilities in grafting plants.

However, according to the advice of Jing Da Si Nong, Zhao Yun decided to let the Blood-sucking Vine embark on a path of specialized cultivation.

Zhao Yun knew clearly that in the low-grade sequence, a wide range of abilities might play a certain role; but in the higher-level realm of cultivation, only specialization could bring out the most dazzling light!

As long as he acts cautiously and doesn't take risks rashly... Zhao Yun firmly believes that he will be able to steadily move towards a higher level of cultivation!
After all, the practice of the sequence method is to list conditions one by one, allowing latecomers to step up step by step and complete all the conditions, so that they can be promoted in sequence!
This now makes the way much clearer for those who are confused and struggling in the old practice system, such as comprehending the mysteries of Taoism, understanding the meaning of this and that, and the interpretations, annotations, nouns, metaphors in Taoist books and scriptures, etc.!
However, although the paths of the Sequence Method are clearly listed, the cultivation resources required are also a big problem...

But farmers know how to farm!
After accumulating for a certain period of time, wealth will not be a problem!

Therefore, from Jing Da Si Nong's explanation, Zhao Yun considered the long-term development and resolutely decided to let the blood-sucking vine focus on the field of blood! Instead of blindly integrating other complicated plant abilities such as the five elements, escape techniques, yin and yang, and heavenly secrets.

In addition, for abilities like Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and Yuan Ci, Zhao Yun already has a ritual spiritual plant: Yuan Ci Five Elements Pine as a replacement.

Then having too many duplicate attribute abilities will not only fail to bring out the Blood-sucking Vine's greater advantages in the way of blood, but may instead become a burden on the path to improving the way of blood.

What's more, every time Zhao Yun is promoted in the future, he will have various unique ritual spiritual plants to choose from.

Therefore, the most wise and effective practice strategy is to allow each ritual spirit plant to focus on its own unique ability.

Moreover, with the advancement of the sequence, the many hidden abilities of the precious-level Blood-sucking Vine are gradually released.

Of course, when the blood-sucking vine reaches the eighth level, its unique ability is:
Able to parasitize on Zhao Yun's body.

"When I got the Blood-sucking Vine before, Tushan Tianmiao and Master Sun said that the Blood-sucking Vine is an excellent ritual spiritual plant for 'protecting the Dao'!"

"When the blood-sucking vine was at the ninth level, it was only in its juvenile state, and its abilities were not fully unleashed. It could only take root in the ground and act as a fixed vine attack unit..."

"Now that my rank has been raised, I can now parasitize on my body. This ability of 'protecting the way' has just begun to show its true strength!"

The vines of the blood-sucking vine slowly rose from the ground like a nimble snake and wrapped around Zhao Yun's body.

And in a strange way, it gradually weaved into a full-body red blood-sucking vine armor on Zhao Yun's body.

In addition, Zhao Yun also felt that some aerial roots at the roots of the blood-sucking vine pierced his skin and connected with some nerves under the skin!
Therefore, this blood-sucking vine armor is not just a simple layer of protection, but also helps Zhao Yun perceive the outside world, and connects the blood-sucking vine's ability to adapt to the external environment and evolve to Zhao Yun's body...

At the same time, the blood essence bred in the core of the blood-sucking vine is also embedded in Zhao Yun's back, providing blood energy to the blood-sucking vine and Zhao Yun's body at all times!
At least until the blood essence is completely consumed, Zhao Yun's body will never feel tired!
This allows one to gradually adapt to any harsh environment and provide close protection and survival capabilities, which is the most precious!
Moreover, this is just an external manifestation of the blood-sucking vine's parasitic ability.

What's more, the blood-sucking vine can extend its vines, which can change size as desired, from any part of the human body, such as the top of the head, neck, palms, arms, back, abdomen, crotch, feet, etc., to do work or attack.

Provide Zhao Yun with all-round melee protection!
Become Zhao Yun's most reliable guardian and right-hand man on the battlefield.

Greatly improve Zhao Yun's survivability and combat strength.

In addition, even if encountered a difficult and fierce battle, the Blood-sucking Vine can directly devour the enemy's flesh and blood, quickly condense blood essence, or repair Zhao Yun's injuries, delay the battle time, and kill the enemy first!

Alternatively, the blood essence could provide a constant source of power for the blood-sucking vine's own actions, allowing it to always maintain strong vitality and deterrence in battle...

Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, with the help of the blood-sucking vine, it is possible to see the sun rise tomorrow!
This set of life-saving abilities is one of the core factors that makes the Blood-sucking Vine rated as a rare treasure.

Of course, the Blood-sucking Vine has many potential abilities, but due to the current grade limit, it has not yet been revealed and is temporarily dormant...

This requires Zhao Yun to lead the simultaneous advancement of the ritual spirit plants when he is promoted again in the future, so that these hidden powerful abilities can be awakened and released one by one.

Zhao Yun carefully sensed the blood-sucking vines parasitic on the outside of his body and was very satisfied with the effect it had on him!

In addition, Zhao Yun’s strongest defense currently is the space shield of the divine spiritual realm!

The second strongest defense is the Polu armor of the sixth-rank General Po Lu, which was awarded by the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty.

Although this set of armor is a standard magic weapon, it is hard in texture and has extremely strong defensive capabilities!

At least, it would be very difficult for practitioners below Sequence Six to break it without using attack capabilities above Sequence Six!
Of course, since the Armor of Breaking the Enemy's Armor was a magic weapon, Zhao Yun was unable to fully refine it when he reached Sequence Nine.

Now that he has been promoted to Sequence Eight, his magic power has undergone a qualitative improvement, and he has a certain ability to refine it.

But there was not enough time for Zhao Yun to refine the Po Lu Armor, so naturally he could not unleash the full power of the Po Lu Armor.

So suppose that when Zhao Yun faces a powerful attack, even if the Armor of Breaking the Lu itself is extremely strong and can defend, the impact and shock caused by the attack will not be able to be effectively cushioned because the armor has not been refined and its power cannot be unleashed.

Therefore, Zhao Yun would still be hurt. But now, the blood-sucking vines can parasitize the blood-sucking armor to defend the whole body, just filling the gap between the armor and the flesh without time to refine, acting as a buffer!

"Alas, the Blood-sucking Armor transformed from the Blood-sucking Vine arrived just in time, but the Captive-Breaking Armor still needs to be carefully refined before it can truly unleash its powerful power."

"In addition, my 100 flame Taoist soldiers also need time and energy to refine. Only in this way can the military formation they carry be fully displayed."

“And once the flame Taoist army formation is activated, it can at least crush the cultivators of Sequence 6, and can even slightly hinder the cultivators of Sequence !
This is a powerful killer weapon that can be used repeatedly..."

"For example, the powerful one-time fifth-grade lightning bead and the jade talisman obtained from the mountain god of Yangui Lingshan that can exert the fifth-grade mountain god power three times should be able to be used for a longer time..." "Alas, there are still too many things to do after this sequence is promoted..."

Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh softly.

Then, he unfolded the blood-sucking armor gathered on the surface of his body!

Prepare to test the attack capabilities of the blood-sucking vine after being parasitized.

In addition, Zhao Yun's mental power touched the spirituality of the blood-sucking vine rooted at the edge of the mental power puddle in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He used his spiritual power to slowly wrap the spirit of the blood-sucking vine, and mobilized the power of his clone of the beast seal, so that Zhao Yun and the spirit of the blood-sucking vine could become one in mind.

Similarly, the blood-red roots of the blood-sucking vine establish a wonderful neural connection with its own body.

Now, Zhao Yun’s mind is not only united with the Blood-sucking Vine, but his body is also united with it.

From spirit to flesh, let the refined blood-sucking vine be perfectly linked with his own body!
Then, the dancing vines quickly spread out on Zhao Yun's back, transforming into one blood-red tentacle after another that seemed to have life.

Then, Zhao Yun easily controlled the dancing vine tentacles.

After gently piercing the ground, it directly penetrated the soil layer about 10 meters deep!
Wherever it went, the soil rolled around.

Then, Zhao Yun condensed all the dancing vines into one, forming a huge blood diamond shape.

And when the blood diamond was formed, Zhao Yun clearly felt that his attack power had been significantly improved.

However, the increase in attack power is the result of many vines combined.

This will also cause the number of vines on Zhao Yun's blood-sucking armor to decrease, indirectly leading to a weakening of his defensive capabilities.

Moreover, since there are more than thirty vines growing on the blood-sucking vine, it is not an easy task for Zhao Yun to fully control it at once.

Zhao Yun needed to concentrate and control the movement of each vine.

A slight mistake will cause the whole rhythm to get out of control...

"No wonder, Jing Da Si Nong suggested to me that if I want to fully display the power of the blood-sucking vine, I need to learn a technique called 'Thousands of Threads and Tens of Thousands of Hands'. There are so many vines, and without the correct method to guide them, it is really difficult to control them for a while..."

Afterwards, Zhao Yun gathered back the dozens of vines that stretched out from behind him.

Additionally, these vines can be changed in size as desired.

Therefore, the various vines that were dancing wildly behind Zhao Yun before finally calmed down behind Zhao Yun and were perfectly gathered inside his clothes without leaving a trace.

"I used the yellow cloth's ability to trace its origins and one of the two beast seals condensed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Returning to Their Hearts method to completely refine the Blood-sucking Vine's spirit and body into my other self.

From the perspective of control, the blood-sucking vine is one with my thoughts, which greatly extends my combat and survival abilities."

“In addition, those blood-sucking vines that can attack from any angle of the body can cause more destructive damage than the magic I cast!
This is my advantage! ”

"Moreover, the grade of the blood-sucking vine and my cultivation sequence realm can be improved synchronously, which means that the blood-sucking vine still has a lot of room for growth..."

"In addition, although the Po Lu Baojia is a sixth-grade standard magic weapon, it is only at the sixth-grade level! In the future, it will not change... In comparison, the Blood-sucking Vine can grow with me, which is very important!"

Zhao Yun silently analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Armor of Breaking the Lu and the Armor of Bloodthirsty in his mind, and had a clearer understanding and plan for improving his own strength.

After Zhao Yun had tested the various abilities of the blood-sucking vine, he was ready to put it back into the half-acre blood field, allowing it to continue growing and accumulate more blood essence and energy so that it would be ready to fight for him at any time.

The blood-sucking vine suddenly vibrated slightly, and Zhao Yun, who was still in a state of spiritual unity with the blood-sucking vine, actually felt a mysterious call!

Zhao Yun seemed to hear a faint voice from beneath the earth, urgently calling out to the spirit of the blood-sucking vine.

At the same time, the 18 blood dragon cicadas in the blood field, through their spiritual feedback to Zhao Yun, also sensed that there was some kind of mysterious power under the earth calling them!

"Could it be that this whirring thing is the opportunity that Xin Ruyin sensed earlier?
Moreover, this opportunity extends from the depths of the earth... Is this opportunity meant for me?"

There was a gleam of curiosity in Zhao Yun's eyes.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun did not get rid of the parasitism of the blood-sucking vine. Instead, through the spirituality of the blood-sucking vine, he closely resonated with the mysterious thing deep in the earth, trying to make it closer to him.

In addition, Zhao Yun was also thinking about a question: Why can the blood-sucking vine and the blood dragon cicada sense the opportunities deep in the earth, but he can't?
Zhao Yun carefully sorted out the relationship between the two and found that the only thing in common between the Blood-sucking Vine and the Blood Dragon Cicada was that they both absorbed the dragon blood in the blood field next to them.

"Could it be that the opportunity deep in the earth has some mysterious connection with the dragon that once shed blood and directly created this blood field?"

"Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why this animal and this plant can sense a certain call from deep in the earth, but I feel nothing at all."
