Chapter 115 Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi

"Unable to condense blood essence? Why is that?"

Lu Lin frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of confusion.

"Alas, it is a shame to say this," Prince Jing sighed softly, explaining, "Because among the 'Purple-Eyed Dragon Apes' raised by my Murong clan, there are no more of the second-tier ones. The last second-tier Purple-Eyed Dragon Apes died of old age three hundred years ago. Now, the strongest remaining one is only a top-tier first-tier one."

He paused, then continued in detail: "The Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi is unlike ordinary blood qi; its nature is more domineering and powerful, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary blood qi. The more powerful the blood qi, the higher the requirements for the 'enlightenment' subject."

"The ancient true spirit bloodline contained within the Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape is quite concentrated. A first-tier Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape simply cannot fully display its divine essence and bloodline power. Only by reaching the second tier can its divine essence be perfectly presented. Therefore, if a martial artist wants to condense this blood essence, the object of their 'enlightenment' must reach the second tier."

"Unable to condense Blood Qi?" Lu Lin frowned even more deeply. "So, this powerful martial art has been lost to the Murong royal family?"

"It's not entirely cut off." Prince Jing's tone carried a hint of pride. "In the past three hundred years, only my father, one hundred and twenty years ago, with astonishing talent, comprehended the 'God of the Dragon Ape' from a top-tier first-order Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape and successfully entered the Innate level. Apart from my father, no one else has ever mastered it."

Lu Lin's eyes lit up slightly.

Since someone was able to successfully 'comprehend' from a top-tier first-order purple-eyed dragon ape, given his talent, there's no reason why he couldn't succeed.

“Your Highness is overthinking it.” Lu Lin smiled. “I only want to observe the technique, to compare it with my own martial arts, and to experience the cultivation process. I have no intention of condensing my blood essence.”

“In that case, when we return to the Prince’s Palace, I will give you the complete martial arts manual of ‘Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique’ for you to study.” Prince Jing readily agreed.

Although this martial art is the Murong clan's most treasured skill, it is forbidden to be passed on to outsiders according to ancestral rules.

But this time, Lu Lin not only saved him and the Jingwang Mansion, but also the entire Murong Clan. With such a great favor, what is a martial arts manual?
If the family is wiped out, then there will truly be nothing left.

Prince Jing even felt that a martial arts manual alone was not enough to express his gratitude. After a slight pause, he continued, "If you need anything else, please feel free to ask, and I will do my best to help."

Seeing the other party's sincerity, Lu Lin felt that being too polite would only seem pretentious.

"I need blood crystals or qi and blood pills, the more the better!" Lu Lin said bluntly, emphasizing the words "the more the better".

"Very well! Once we return to the Prince's residence, I will immediately send men to search for the evidence with all their might," Prince Jing solemnly promised.

Afterwards, the group began to clean up the battlefield, carefully erasing any traces of human activity. They also attracted a group of demonic beasts to destroy the evidence and trample on and damage Lin Donghai's cave.

After confirming that everything was foolproof and no flaws had been left, he quietly left and returned to the capital.

The next morning, Prince Jing brought Murong Cheng to Lu Lin's residence and presented him with an ornate wooden box.

Lu Lin took the wooden box and opened it. Inside lay an ancient book with seven powerful characters on the cover: Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique.

Lu Lin's heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.

Although the trip had its share of twists and turns, it was ultimately a successful one.

“Senior, the complete cultivation method of the Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique is all here. However, it will take some time to collect Qi and Blood Pills and Blood Crystals,” Prince Jing explained.

"No problem, no problem." Lu Lin's eyes were burning with eagerness, looking every bit the martial arts fanatic. "Please do as you please, I'm going into seclusion to cultivate."

Prince Jing smiled knowingly, clasped his hands in farewell to Murong Cheng, and took his leave.

As soon as the two left, Lu Lin immediately went into the room, closed the door, and took out the "Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique" to study it carefully.

Soon after, he had memorized the entire technique. The Martial Arts Furnace also successfully incorporated this martial arts technique into its records.

"Infuse it into me!"

With a thought, cultivation time poured into the "Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique" like a tidal wave.

For him, the current body tempering stage is almost just a formality, requiring neither any pills nor much cultivation time.

Soon, Lu Lin raised the "Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique" to the tenth level, its ultimate level.

The next step is the crucial 'enlightenment' stage.

"To observe the Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape right after obtaining the cultivation technique would be too conspicuous. I should wait patiently for a while longer," Lu Lin thought to himself, deciding to suppress his eagerness for the time being.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Prince Jing visited Lu Lin again, accompanied by Murong Cheng and the two old men, one fat and one thin.

The two old men, one fat and one thin, each carried a large box.

"Senior, here are the blood crystals and qi-blood pills you requested. My abilities are limited; I could only manage to collect three hundred catties of blood crystals and two hundred qi-blood pills despite my best efforts," Prince Jing said, clasping his hands in a slightly apologetic tone.

These resources are incredibly valuable, but compared to the catastrophe, they are nothing.

Lu Lin was quite satisfied with this; the quantity far exceeded his expectations, even more than what Tuoba Feng had initially given him.

In comparison, Tuoba Feng seemed rather stingy.

Lu Lin was thinking that after returning to the Demon Sect, he would have to find a reason to get some more resources from Tuoba Feng, otherwise how could he be worthy of the strange thing in his heart?

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Lin bowed in thanks, accepting the generous gift without hesitation. He then changed the subject, "Your Highness, could you arrange for me to meet that Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape?"

"Saw the Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape? It's only been a month?" Prince Jing was somewhat stunned.

Lu Lin has only had the cultivation technique for a month, and he's already reached the 'Divine Enlightenment' stage? That's incredibly fast. Seeing the other person's confusion, Lu Lin smiled and explained, "I don't intend to 'Enlighten' and condense my Blood Qi; I just want to verify what I've learned before. I only briefly familiarized myself with the Body Tempering stage. However, a martial art can never be truly mastered without seeing the real Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape."

Prince Jing suddenly realized what was happening and did not suspect anything.

Given Lu Lin's martial arts level, a month is indeed enough for him to familiarize himself with the body tempering stage rather than cultivate step by step.

"To be honest, apart from the members of the Murong clan, outsiders are not allowed to enter the 'Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Garden.' After all, apart from a few individuals, no one knows that you, senior, have comprehended the 'Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique.' However, since you have requested it, I will do my best to make arrangements."

"However, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to disguise yourself as a disciple of the Murong clan," Prince Jing offered his solution.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness!" Lu Lin clasped his hands in thanks.

Three days later, Prince Jing invited a master of disguise to carefully dress up Lu Lin.

After some modifications, Lu Lin's appearance changed drastically, bearing a six or seven-point resemblance to Murong Cheng. Without careful examination, it would be difficult to spot the flaws.

Prince Jing then personally led Lu Lin, disguised as "Murong Cheng," to the Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Garden.

The Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Garden is located in the core area of ​​the Imperial Palace, and is not only protected by array formations, but also closely guarded by experts from the Imperial Palace.

However, under Prince Jing's leadership, they encountered almost no checks and entered the garden smoothly.

Roar! Roar! Roar!
As soon as we entered the park, we heard the roars of monkeys echoing from the dense forest. The voices were loud and wild.

“Senior, I will wait here. Please go and observe.” Prince Jing said respectfully.

"Thank you for your trouble!" Lu Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute, then slipped into the depths of the garden.

Prince Jing sat cross-legged, waiting quietly. However, less than an hour later, Lu Lin came out.

"Senior, how come you came out so quickly?" Prince Jing asked in surprise.

"I'm just observing; I don't intend to 'comprehend the divine.' Seeing the true form of the dragon ape is enough," Lu Lin explained with a smile.

Prince Jing nodded, asked no further questions, and quickly left with Lu Lin.

The shorter their stay in the park, the less suspicious they will be.

Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Lu Lin immediately entered his bedroom and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"We can condense the Blood Qi now!" Lu Lin's eyes revealed anticipation.

Upon entering the Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Garden, he certainly did more than just observe.

In fact, he has already successfully 'enlightened himself'.

He had long anticipated that, given his talent, if the current Yan Emperor could succeed, he would certainly succeed as well; it would just take him a little more time to cultivate.

In fact, the cultivation time required for this 'Enlightenment' was far greater than that for other cultivation methods, taking a full hundred years to successfully comprehend it.

I glanced at the training time displayed on the Martial Arts Furnace: 7,866 years and 2 months.

enough!
"Exchange for Martial Essence!"

With a thought, a thousand years of cultivation vanished, transforming into a 'Martial Essence'.

Lu Lin controlled the martial energy to flow into his right foot and fuse with the bones of his right foot.

Then, he devoted more time to cultivating the "Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi Technique".

His blood and qi surged into his right foot like ten thousand rivers flowing into the sea, merging with his martial energy and rapidly compressing and condensing.

"Oh no, we're going to fail!"

After a while, Lu Lin's expression changed.

He discovered that condensing his blood essence encountered tremendous resistance. A single 'Martial Essence' wasn't enough!

"Could it be that the stronger the blood essence, the more difficult it is to condense, and the more 'martial essence' is required?" Lu Lin's mind raced.

If that's the case, how did the current Yan Emperor manage to condense the second-tier Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape 120 years ago?

Perhaps the Murong clan still has 'Dragon Ape Blood Essence' in stock?

"Continue exchanging!"

Lu Lin's mind stirred again, and another thousand years of cultivation time disappeared, transforming into a second stream of martial energy that surged into his right foot, merging with the previous stream of martial energy.

With the support of two martial spirits, the condensation process became much smoother.

Soon after, Lu Lin's body trembled slightly, and his right leg emitted an astonishing blood-red light. A ferocious roar could be faintly heard, and a terrifying pressure emanated from it, which was even more domineering and powerful than the 'Demon Ape Blood Qi'.

Fortunately, Lu Lin used other blood essences to isolate this aura in time, otherwise it might have alarmed the entire palace.

The Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi is complete!
