Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 175 Blood Refinement of the Body (55 out of 10,000 chapters)

"By the time I learned of its existence, I had already been excluded from the core of the Qin family."

She sighed repeatedly: "So, I still don't know the details of this elixir."

"However, I suspect that this elixir is related to the demonic path."

"The devil's path?"

"That's right." Qin Xijun nodded: "In recent years, there have been many young people with low aptitude who have mysteriously disappeared or died prematurely."

"Last year, five children with spiritual roots were born after the family split up. This spring, only three remain."

"The clan elders said the other two died of illness."

"I want to find out the reason, but there are always people who try to stop me from investigating for various reasons."

"I suspect it may be related to that kind of elixir."

Song Yan frowned deeply after hearing what Qin Xijun said.

He is no longer the naive young man he once was.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if the situation is indeed as Qin Xijun guessed, in order to refine the pill that can improve cultivation aptitude, it would be necessary to "sacrifice" the lives of others.

Therefore, both the effects of the pill and the conditions required for its use are similar to those of the Transformation Blood Pill.

Perhaps it is a higher-level pill in terms of medicinal properties, specifically the Spirit Transformation Blood Pill.

"Colluding with the demonic path?"

This is no small matter.

"Can't we report this to the sect?"

"The problem now is that there isn't enough evidence, and..."

"The elder in charge of supervising such incidents in Dongyuan Sect is Yang Wenxuan."

"..."

I see……

Song Yan took a deep breath.

The Qin family is a quagmire.

He could hardly imagine the pressure and torment Qin Xijun endured while dealing with those former "relatives".

"This matter involves many factors and is not something that you and I can decide on our own."

Qin Xijun said, "Just remember to stay away from the Qin family."

Song Yan nodded.

He had absolutely no interest in factional infighting.

He didn't want to spend the time he would normally spend peacefully cultivating his swordsmanship on assessing situations and plotting schemes.

She was merely affected by the situation, and Granny Qin had already extricated herself from the mess that Qin's family had created.

The most important thing right now is to make myself stronger as quickly as possible.

His reliance is his cultivation and swordsmanship.

Since Yang Wenxuan attacked him without any scruples, it doesn't mean that he should have restrained his sharpness.

On the contrary, this only proves one point.

That means the strength and talent I've shown are far from enough.

We must forge ahead fearlessly, and show our sharpness to the fullest...

We must join Bamo Peak!

No need to give any elders face; they belong to the sect leader and directly obey the orders of Daoist Li Jun at Bamo Peak!
With that thought in mind, Song Yan decided not to linger any longer.

He bid farewell to Qin Xijun.

"There are still two and a half days left... there's still enough time."

He did not return to his cave immediately, but instead went to Lingyuanze Market first.

They purchased a batch of elixirs.

After experiencing some major events, people need rest, which is normal.

The way of both civil and military affairs is to alternate between tension and relaxation.

People may become somewhat lax in their mindset.

However, if one relaxes for too long, one often develops a tendency to procrastinate.

That is, let's wait until this period is over before talking about it.

Once these trivial matters are resolved, I will continue my cultivation in a serious manner.

In fact, there is no problem starting now; the only obstacle is one's mindset. Song Yan was like that before, always thinking of waiting until the decisive battle was over before starting body training.

But now, he has changed his mind.

Let's start now.

Return to the cave.

He took out a jade box from his Qiankun bag, which contained the precious blood of the Qilin obtained from the Hidden Qilin Cloud Cave.

To date, Song Yan has no idea what the difference is between the "essence blood" and "ordinary blood" inside a demon beast.

When asked, Xiaohe knew nothing.

However, it is probably similar in importance to the essence and blood of cultivators.

According to the description of that nameless body-tempering technique, mixing the Qilin's precious blood directly with water is also quite effective for body tempering.

If conditions permit, some elixirs can be used as a supplement.

On the one hand, the effect will be better; on the other hand, the rejection of the monster's blood will be mitigated by the medicinal liquid.

The medicinal herbs mentioned were neither too expensive nor too rare, and Song Yan had already purchased them all.

Divine sense, spiritual power, sword energy, and swordsmanship—these are all skills honed over a long period of time.

It's unrealistic to expect to make significant progress in these areas in a short period of time.

Body tempering is actually quite suitable.

He had been thinking about the necessity of physical strength training for a sword cultivator for a long time.

A more powerful body can undoubtedly withstand more sword energy.

Furthermore, there are many sword control techniques that Song Yan is temporarily unable to use, mainly because his meridians cannot withstand the corresponding intensity of sword energy flow.

Thinking of this, Song Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

They took out the purchased medicinal herbs one by one and arranged them neatly on the stone platform.

"Green forest grass, cloud branches..."

"Crimson Flame Fruit".

In the center of the training room, a bronze medicine cauldron, about half the height of a person, had already been prepared.

This item was an old item that Song Yan acquired when he was still in the outer sect. Although it is not a magic artifact, it is heavy and durable.

Originally used for boiling medicinal liquids, it may now be used for medicinal baths.

His gaze sharpened slightly, and he first took the cloud branch and gently broke it off.

The milky white branches oozed glistening sap, which dripped into the medicine cauldron.

Then, clear water was poured into the cauldron, and the remaining spiritual herbs and medicines were placed into it one by one, as instructed in the cultivation method.

Finally, he solemnly opened the jade box containing the precious blood of the Qilin.

As soon as it was opened, a scorching heat rushed out, and the blood in the box flowed slowly as if it were alive.

Without further hesitation, he poured the Qilin demon blood into the cauldron.

The medicinal liquid in the cauldron turned scarlet red instantly, as if it had been ignited, and the temperature in the entire training room rose rapidly.

Song Yan's sword energy condensed, and he cut his fingertip, letting a drop of his own blood drip into the medicine cauldron.

The "Blood Guidance" technique recorded in the body-refining cultivation method involves dripping one's own essence blood into it, which can slightly alleviate the rejection of the essence blood of demonic beasts.

Having prepared everything, he removed his Taoist robes and stepped into the medicine cauldron.

The moment the scalding medicinal liquid and demon blood touched his skin, all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly.

The pain of the demonic blood scorching his flesh far exceeded his expectations, as if thousands of red-hot steel needles were simultaneously piercing his pores.

"hiss--"

He clenched his teeth, forced himself to sit cross-legged, and let the medicine cover his chest.

According to the description of the technique, it is necessary to guide the flow of spiritual energy along specific meridian routes to stimulate blood circulation.

But at this moment, the excruciating pain makes even staying conscious extremely difficult.

Before even starting the body-refining exercise, his skin was already as red and shiny as a cooked shrimp, with fine beads of blood constantly seeping from his pores.

The golden-red liquid was seeping into my body through my pores, and wherever it passed, my meridians felt like they were being branded with a hot iron.

He struggled to maintain his breathing and began to slowly circulate the spiritual energy within his body according to the body-refining technique.

The entire training room was filled with a misty fog.

"call……"

The golden-red liquid soaked into his entire body, and with each breath he took, it began to slowly transform every inch of his flesh and blood.
