Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 529 The Seventh Blood Transfusion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Royal Star Palace!"

The moment the name was mentioned, their eyes were filled with longing.

Those who can enter the Imperial Star Palace are all martial artists of the Ninth Realm; it is a symbol of status, and which martial artist wouldn't want to enter it?

Only a little over a hundred people on the entire planet Earth are able to enter it.

Lin Qi remembered the name: a ninth-realm martial artist. He was still far from reaching that level.

However, he will definitely be able to get into it in the future.

During their casual conversation, the group unknowingly returned to the base, where dozens of large green screens were projected onto the wall at the entrance of the Black Dragon Base.

It includes rankings for each realm.

There were also real-time news notifications, and on the largest screen, videos of the fallen warriors were playing.

Lynch also saw the information on the screen.

[Number of warriors killed today: 165]

[Sixth-realm martial artists (2), Fifth-realm martial artists (8), Fourth-realm martial artists (16)...]

……

Lin Qi looked at the numbers; 165 martial artists had already sacrificed their lives so far today, and the number was still rising.

If a level 10 calamity beast were to descend, its numbers could increase tenfold!
Pei Hongfeng looked at the big screen and suddenly exclaimed:

"For some reason, the number of martial artists who have sacrificed their lives has actually decreased in the past three months compared to before!"

"It has decreased by almost 10%."

"The attacks of the calamity beasts have become even more ferocious, but the number of casualties is actually decreasing. How strange!"

He then glanced at Lin Qi, a vague guess forming in his mind.

But he quickly shook his head and rejected it.

Lin Qi was only a seventh-level martial artist, so his influence wasn't that great.

Dean Liu looked at Lin Qi and knew very well how terrifyingly efficient Lin Qi's hunting was; he was incredibly strong, practically a monster.

A moment later, everyone dispersed and went back to their apartments to rest.

"Buzz!"

The door to room 206 slid open silently!

Lin Qi entered and took off his armor, looking at the badly damaged black-gold armor, which was covered in cracks and claw marks.

Looking at the black and gold spear again, countless marks had appeared, and even the sharp spear tip had become dull.

Lin Qi shook his head. It seemed that the battle with the level eight calamity beast had caused severe wear and tear on his weapons.

The skin scales and bone spurs of an eighth-level calamity beast are exceptionally hard, and they are indeed easily worn down by prolonged impacts.

Lin Qi opened the War House APP. Now that the monster horde was over, he only had one day to rest.

Most of the calamity beast tides occur every two or three days, while in a few cases they occur once a day, or even several times a day.

So he clicked on the repair service to repair the Black Gold Armor and the Black Gold Gun.

All that was needed was 5000 merit points! Lin Qi then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

"Whoosh!!"

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the hot water washed away the oil and dirt from the skin.

"Xiao Chan, open the War House personal center!"

"Okay, master!"

Xiao Chan projected a green panel.

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel.

[Name: Lin Qi (Heilong Base)]

[Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Transformation]

[Merit Points: 100.1 million]

[Base Ranking: 50→20]

Overall Ranking: 180 → 60

……

Lin Qi smiled as he looked at his ranking. Before leaving home today, he was ranked 50th in the Black Dragon Base and 180th overall.

Now, after this battle, the base's ranking has improved by 30 places, bringing its overall ranking to 120th.

The number of merit points has exceeded 100 million!

Before leaving, he had 16 merit points, and within a day he had earned 84 merit points.

The 600,000 merit points came from the level 8 calamity beast, the Earth-Splitting Dragon!
He thought to himself: Hunting level 8 calamity beasts really earns a lot of merit points.

Although he had accumulated over a million merit points by hunting calamity beasts in three months.

However, the number of merit points earned in a single day successfully broke the record.

A moment later, Lin Qi put on a clean black martial arts uniform.

Open the room door, put the armor and black gold gun into a metal box, and hand it to the staff.

He sat down at the dining table, which was still laden with dishes, while Xiao Chan continued cooking in the kitchen.

Lin Qi also skillfully began to enjoy his meal.

Pick up a small piece of meat and put it in your mouth to chew. It is very chewy and remains firm even after cooking, just like beef tendon or free-range chicken from the countryside.

An ordinary martial artist would need incredible bite force to crush it.

And just then, Lin Qi easily chewed it up and swallowed it.

In a short while, my body began to heat up.

"As expected of a level nine calamity beast's meat, the essence within its flesh and blood is even more abundant!"

Lin Qi secretly marveled at how he was able to complete three blood transfusions in three months.

We also owe it all to the flesh and blood of the calamity beast!
For the past two months, he has consumed large amounts of level-eight beast flesh and blood, and this month he even feels that level-eight flesh and blood are not enough.

He began consuming the flesh and blood of a level nine calamity beast, which contained astonishing essence.

Having expended a great deal of energy, Lin Qi felt a warm sensation in his stomach as he frantically digested the essence of flesh and blood.

Meanwhile, during the meal, Lynch began shopping.

Now that I already have 100 million merit points, there's no need to save them up. I might as well spend them to buy cultivation resources and advance my cultivation to the next level.

He opened the War House app.

They were the first to find the Blood Spirit Potion and immediately ordered two bottles, worth 20 merit points.

Although it's expensive, it brings him closer to his seventh blood transfusion!
A few days later, it was time for the battle he had agreed to with Gu Jian.

If we can perform the seventh blood exchange, defeating the opponent will be a sure thing.

"I still have 80 merit points left!"

Lin Qi looked at his merit points balance and continued browsing, his gaze falling on the level nine calamity beast's flesh and blood on the plate on the table!
He placed another order for 2000 kilograms, spending 20,000 merit points.

"My mental strength is now 9100, which is very close to the eighth realm!"

"I can purchase better resources to allow my mental strength to break through ahead of schedule."

"This will help me hone my skills!"

Lynch's mind raced, searching for better resources.

The page quickly refreshed, revealing a variety of potions and rare treasures—items that the Crimson Sky Clan never possessed.

Moreover, Lynch quickly found a potion.

[Item: Supreme Soul Water]

[Effect: An advanced version of Soul Water, possessing even more powerful effects.]

Merit Points (Teaching Points): 50000/tube

……

Lin Qi nodded secretly after seeing this. The effect of ordinary soul water was only 3000, while that of top-grade soul water was almost 16 times higher.

Soul Water can be phased out; he plans to take one vial of top-grade Soul Water every day from now on.

He could break through to the eighth realm with his mental strength more quickly, so he ordered five more bottles.

Worth 25 merit points, even ordinary eighth-realm martial artists wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.

Only Lin Qi dared to do it, because he believed in his own abilities.

He is now able to kill level eight calamity beasts, and his combat power will increase again if he undergoes seven blood exchanges.

Hunting level 8 monsters will also be much easier.

Then they started buying flesh and blood harmonizers in large quantities, which only cost 1000 merit points.

Lin Qi needs something better; he needs to buy a premium blending agent, which is 10 times more effective than a regular blending agent, and only costs 10000 merit points.

He placed another order for 10 bottles!
Another 10 merit points were spent.

[Merit Points: 43 million]

Now I only have 43 merit points left, half of which have been spent.

Lin Qi suddenly thought of his weapon again!
"Now that I have the combat power of the eighth realm, shouldn't my armor and weapons be upgraded as well?"

Generally speaking, most warriors at the seventh realm use seventh-tier armor and weapons.

Eighth-realm warriors use eighth-realm equipment and weapons.

Tier 8 armor and weapons can only be obtained by using merit points.

However, some people are just too rich; some are even suppliers of armor and weapons themselves.

It's not difficult to get an eighth-tier battle armor for your descendants!
Therefore, such geniuses are usually able to use eighth-tier armor and weapons directly when they are at the seventh-level martial artist.

The most typical examples are Xu Qin and Pei Yiqing.

Shen Heng's family was poor, so he wore seventh-tier battle armor and used a seventh-tier battle sword.

Pei Yiqing and Xu Qin both possessed eighth-tier armor and weapons.

Therefore, both of their defensive and combat abilities were enhanced.

Lin Qi's family was also poor, and he didn't have many merit points before.

But things are much better now. He can hunt level 8 calamity beasts, so he won't lack merit points in the future, and he'll also be able to buy level 8 equipment.

With that in mind, he began searching for eighth-tier weapons, since weapons were much cheaper than armor.

The armor is more expensive; he might not be able to afford it with his 45 merit points.

The page refreshed quickly.

[Equipment: Tier 8 Long Spear (Common)]

[Description: An eighth-tier weapon of ordinary quality, possessing destructive power that greatly amplifies a martial artist's internal energy!]

[Merit Points: 50 million]

……

Lin Qi was stunned when he saw the merit points.

Eighth-tier weapons are even divided into two qualities based on their quality: ordinary and enhanced.

But now he can't even afford the average quality ones.

He's still 7 merit points short, so he can't afford it at all.

"I don't have enough merit points yet!"

"Although you could borrow it from someone, there's no need!"

Lin Qi shook his head. Although he could borrow merit points from someone.

For example, Teacher Mu Hong often hunts level 8 monsters, so he must have a lot of merit points.

But there's no need, because he'll be able to earn it back quickly.

It just requires a bit more effort. He suddenly thought of Gu Jian again; he still had a duel with him.

The stakes for the challenge are 100 million merit points, a huge sum of money that can be used to purchase amazing rare and precious materials.

"With 100 million merit points, plus another 45 merit points, I can even directly buy an eighth-tier battle armor and a spear."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

In that case, we would have no choice but to defeat Gu Jian.

It must be said that they are all very kind people. It would be even better if they could challenge a genius of the eighth realm after I defeated them.

……

Half an hour later, Lin Qi finished his dinner and felt warm all over.

His breath was filled with a large amount of source energy. He entered the martial arts room, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

"Breathe~blow~"

Adjust your breathing, clear your mind of distractions, visualize the Golden Emperor in your conscious space, and circulate the energy.

In a short while, a large amount of source energy continuously flowed into his body.

Cells begin to absorb energy, and the body's organs begin to absorb the essence of blood and flesh.

The white heat and golden light merged and condensed in the air to form the shape of a giant tiger.

The tired body began to recover quickly, and the physical body began to transform.

The heart beats rapidly, like an engine starting up, pumping blood to every part of the body.

A large amount of impurities are absorbed into the blood during the flushing process and then expelled by the internal organs.

Many bruises from the battles were washed away, and broken parts began to repair themselves.

Lynch waited quietly for his body to recover.

……

This time, Lin Qi practiced for three hours straight.

The absorption of source energy and the cultivation of blood exchange are carried out simultaneously.

"call!!"

Lin Qi's chest heaved as he exhaled a breath of stale air from his internal organs, expelling the old and taking in the new.

A strong gust of wind formed in the martial arts room, causing the curtains to flutter.

Lin Qi felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He stood up, and a continuous stream of power surged forth.

He has fully recovered.

[You fought a grueling day, expending enormous energy. By consuming a large amount of flesh and blood from a level-nine calamity beast, your physical body has recovered, your strength has increased, and your health has increased by 50.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 8350 → 8400]

……

Lin Qi exhaled. He had already consumed the flesh and blood of a level nine calamity beast, and this was after a day of intense fighting.

The Qi and Blood value only increased by 50.
Once the seventh blood transfusion was completed, he had a premonition that the next two transfusions would be extremely difficult.

However, he is already fast enough, there is no need to be greedy.

With that thought in mind, he took down the Tiger Demon Spear from the wall and began to swing it.

He still needs to deepen his understanding of the killing move he just mastered today.

……

11 month 18 day,
The day after the arrival of the Level 10 Calamity Beast at Tianfu Base in Sichuan Province.

News reports continue to update the battlefield situation, with more casualties reported.

At the same time, they began to mourn the sacrifice of the Ninth Realm warrior, King Pan Yue, and began to introduce his life story.

Meanwhile, Tianfu Base is still dealing with the remaining monster horde.

Meanwhile, the Overlord had already returned to the Black Dragon Base with the Blade Emperor and the Northern River Sword King.

Compared to Tianfu Base, Heilong Base needs stronger guards even more.

It's starting to snow in Bac Giang Province!

The entire base and battlefield were covered in a blanket of snow, and the temperature in the air continued to drop.

The work of transporting the calamity beasts has become more difficult, but it also ensures that the beasts' flesh and blood do not spoil.

Room 206, the personal martial arts room
"Lin Qi, junior brother, quickly look at the exchange list!"

"The Awakening Potion has actually appeared!"

Lin Qi put away his spear and drank his energy drink. He had just finished his cultivation when his senior brother, Liang Tai, called him.

On the large green screen projected onto the screen, Liang Tai appeared extremely excited.

Lin Qi also showed curiosity, opened the exchange list, and found that the exchange list had changed, with the blood of the Calamity Flame Dragon, which was ranked first, dropping to second place.

The first place winner will be replaced with a different medicine.

[Item: Awakening Potion]

[Effect: A potion made from Awakening Fruit increases the probability of ordinary martial artists awakening special abilities by 5%]

[Merit Points: 20 million]

……

Lin Qi was also surprised when he saw it.

There really is an awakening potion.

Awakening Fruits can increase the probability of awakening, but they are extremely rare; you might not even get one a year.

But now things are different; medicine has actually appeared.

The emergence of a "drug" means that mass production is possible.

Liang Tai said excitedly:

"Junior brother, did you know? The Awakening Potion doesn't have a 'sold out' label on it, which means..."

The quantity is greater than we imagined.

"Perhaps, our Xia Kingdom will produce a large number of SS-level geniuses."

Then Liang Tai, with an excited expression, said:

“Junior brother, you know that Wang Zhixuan, Junior Brother Li Qing, and I all have a chance to awaken.”

"As long as I can awaken, it's worth spending any amount of money. I've already bought it!"

Lin Qi finally understood why Liang Tai was so excited.

Originally, his limit was the seventh realm, but once he awakened, his talent transformed, and he became an SS-level genius, with his limit being an eighth-realm martial artist.

Senior Sister Wang Zhixuan and Senior Brother Li Qing are the same.

He could already foresee the storm that would rage across the entire Xia Kingdom, no, even across the entire Blue Star.

In the future, the number of high-level martial artists in the Xia Kingdom will experience an explosive surge.

It's a good thing for the whole planet Earth.

Lin Qi was also happy for Xia Guo. Lately, it had been bad news every day, but finally there was some good news.

After a while,

At the door of Room 206, the door opened silently, and Lin Qi took three metal boxes from the deliveryman.

At the same time, he moved the boxes of level-nine monster flesh and blood behind him into the ice storage.

"Xiao Chan, cook 1000 kilograms of flesh and blood!"

"Okay, master!"

After the staff left, Lin Qi spoke.

All the resource potions he ordered have arrived.

Lin Qi returned to the martial arts room with the metal boxes, opening them one by one to reveal the various potions inside:

Blood Elixir, Supreme Harmonizing Agent, Supreme Soul Water.

Lin Qi carefully placed the premium harmonizer and premium soul water, leaving only two bottles of blood spirit potion.

Lynch sat cross-legged in the martial arts room, where energy drinks were already prepared.

He can begin his seventh blood transfusion.

Tomorrow is the day of my duel with Gu Jian.

According to the rules of the duel, if no monster horde breaks out on that day, the duel will proceed as scheduled.

If there is a monster tide, the event will be automatically postponed for two days.

"Gulu~"

Lin Qi opened the Blood Spirit Potion and drank both bottles in one gulp.

He's taken too many bottles; the effect has diminished, so he can only rely on quantity to achieve results.

"Hoohoo!!"

Lynch took deep breaths, constantly adjusting his breathing, his aura changing, and his body began to heat up.

In a short while, his face turned red, and the temperature in the martial arts room rose rapidly.

Lin Qi closed his eyes and began circulating the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual."

He cultivated the Blood Exchange chapter, allowing his spiritual power to penetrate deep into his body and control the flow of the Dharma Water to its fullest extent.

It mobilizes the blood in the body, causing it to rush through the body rapidly, resulting in a tremor.

"Buzz!!"

The vibrations in his mouth were like the thunderous roar of a tiger or leopard, and his heart was pounding powerfully.

Blood is transported to every part of the body.

The Blood Elixir began to take effect, the body began to transform, and the blood flushed away impurities.

In the high temperature, Lynch's body began to sweat automatically, and then it was like a broken faucet.

The body frantically expels water, and blood, being a liquid, is also expelled.

The seventh blood transfusion has officially begun!

Lin Qi looked at the sweat that was being expelled; it only smelled sour and foul, but soon the simulated smell of blood filled the air, and this smell was like rust.

It was also accompanied by a fishy, ​​foul smell.

However, the flavor is much milder now compared to before.

Thick layers of blood and grime covered his body, and Lin Qi could clearly feel the effects of the continuous blood transfusions.

The blood in the body is decreasing, and with the removal of impurities, the body is constantly transforming.

Golden light emanated from every part of his body, and mysterious patterns gradually spread throughout every corner of his body.

The human body is extremely complex, like a treasure trove.

The human body holds too many secrets, even though Lin Qi has X-ray vision and can see every organ in the body.

But this is only the surface; the body is undergoing a transformation, developing towards an extraordinary path.

He even saw a large number of patterns that had been studied throughout the entire planet Earth, but no one had been able to figure them out.

All we know is that it is an extraordinary secret, the power of life and the source of evolution!

Lin Qi also felt dizzy and began frantically taking functional supplements to replenish his fluids.

A tingling sensation ran through my bones, especially as the bone marrow began to heat up. Old blood was expelled, and new blood was created, flowing throughout my entire body.

He had done the whole process many times.

With each blood transfusion, the body undergoes continuous transformation!
