Chapter 128 Condensing the Frost Dragon Blood Qi

However, before officially starting to condense the 'Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood Qi', there is one important thing that must be done.

Exchange for sufficient training time.

His remaining cultivation time is 4,260 years and 2 months.

Two thousand years have passed since I exchanged for two "Martial Essences" before, and now I have two thousand two hundred and sixty years and two months left.

The Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi is no ordinary thing. It took two "Martial Yuan" to condense the "Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi" in the first place, and the quality of the "Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi" is obviously higher, so the required "Martial Yuan" must be more than two.

He worried that the current amount of time he had spent cultivating was insufficient to support this condensation.

With a thought, Lu Lin conjured several magical artifacts and three storage bags in his hands.

All of this stemmed from the three Foundation Establishment stage experts who were killed when escorting Xia Qianyu and the others to break through the encirclement.

A person's wealth in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment should be greater than that in the early stage.

Sure enough, when Lu Lin finished checking the items in the three storage bags, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Whether it's the quantity of mid-grade spirit stones or the various spiritual pills, materials, and magical artifacts, they far surpass the collections available in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

This time, Lu Lin held nothing back, exchanging all his mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade magic artifacts, and everything of value for cultivation time.

His cultivation time instantly increased by more than 6,000 years, and his total reserves broke through to more than 8,200 years!

"enough!"

Lu Lin felt reassured and no longer hesitated.

With a thought, two blazing streams of "martial energy" immediately merged into his head.

He decided to condense the "Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood Qi" that governs the entire situation into his skull and place it in the central nervous system so that he could mobilize all the blood qi in his body.

Immediately afterwards, a massive amount of cultivation time poured into the "Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood罡 Technique" like a bursting dam.

woohoo...

The next moment, his blood and qi seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, frantically converging towards his head, and were rapidly compressed and condensed around the two "martial essences".

His face flushed red instantly, his temples throbbed, and a sharp pain, as if his skull were about to split open, surged from within.

[Warning: Condensing blood essence from a skull carries extremely high risks. Ordinary martial artists would never dare to take such a risk, let alone condense such a powerful blood essence as the 'Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood Essence'. The slightest mistake will damage the very source of one's spirit, resulting in mental impairment at best, and utter insanity at worst. The only safest method is to proceed slowly and steadily, step by step!]

The furnace will automatically adjust the condensation mode, slowing down the infusion of Qi and blood, and instead allowing it to permeate in wisps. Your discomfort will be significantly reduced. Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. You have finally successfully condensed your first strand of 'Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood Qi'.

Two consecutive notifications appeared from the Martial Arts Furnace, and the excruciating pain in Lu Lin's head greatly subsided, allowing him to let out a long sigh of relief.

We were indeed a bit too hasty just now.

This cannot be entirely blamed on him. The first four times he condensed his blood essence, he successfully broke through the barrier by mobilizing his qi and blood in one go. He never expected that condensing it at the vital point of his head would be so dangerous.

Fortunately, the Martial Arts Furnace was able to sense the risk and adjust the process, thus averting disaster.

Continue refining.

As cultivation time passed, the Qi and blood flowed like a gentle stream into the brain, transforming into pure blood energy.

However, after decades of cultivation, the rate at which blood and qi flow into the brain decreases sharply again, and the condensation process almost comes to a standstill.

"As expected, two strands of martial energy are simply insufficient to support the condensation of the 'Mysterious Netherworld Frost Dragon Blood Qi.' Continue exchanging!"

With unwavering resolve, Lu Lin instantly evaporated another thousand years of cultivation time, transforming it into the third "Martial Essence," which merged into his brain and became one with the previous two.

Breakthrough, keep going!
However, after a period of time, the process of refining the process stalled again.

Three Martial Essences were still not enough!
Without hesitation, Lu Lin exchanged for the fourth "Martial Essence"!
This time, all obstacles seemed to melt away like ice and snow.

When the total cultivation time had reached one hundred and twenty years, a powerful and majestic dragon roar resounded from the depths of his skull!
A solidified blood aura, shaped like a dragon and as red as blood, meandered through the skull, emanating a powerful aura of extreme yin and cold.

Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi, complete!
What should have been a process that took several years was instead taken a full 120 years.

This shows how impossible it is for an ordinary martial artist to condense blood essence from the skull.

Roar……

After circling several times within the skull, the Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi flowed down from the cervical vertebrae into the spine, much like a king surveying his territory.

The "Sword Antelope Blood Qi" within the spine instantly became as docile and submissive as a lamb encountering a tiger.

Then, the Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi surged into his right arm, and the "Demon Ape Blood Qi" in his right arm also showed no resistance and submitted peacefully.

Then came the left arm, the right leg...

Wherever it passed, neither the "Flaming Crane Blood Qi" nor the "Purple-Eyed Dragon Ape Blood Qi" showed the slightest rejection; all of them submitted to it.

With a slight thought, Lu Lin felt five different types of blood energy around him respond instantly, surging towards his right hand.

The five types of blood essence within the hand bones, with the "Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood Essence" at its core, are perfectly intertwined and fused together, before erupting with a thunderous roar!
boom!
A wisp of fused blood energy, refined to its extreme, shot out and slammed into the mountain wall to the side.

With a muffled thud, debris flew everywhere, and a fist-sized, bottomless hole instantly appeared in the hard rock wall, most of the rock inside turning to dust. Powerful! Incredibly powerful!

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Lin's eyes.

"At only the basic level of three patterns, it can perfectly control the other thirty-six patterns of perfect blood energy. Indeed, the key to controlling all the energy is not 'quantity,' but 'quality'!" Lu Lin realized.

This newly formed Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi has indeed only reached the most basic three-pattern level, barely stepping into the threshold of the Innate Realm.

"It cost me four streams of martial energy, a huge price to pay. But it was all worth it." A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Lin's face.

From then on, he no longer needed to rely on the Blood-Patterned Steel Sword as a fusion medium. With a thought, he could fuse various forces anytime and anywhere, as easily as using his own arm.

At the same time, various killing moves can be used at will, making the means of fighting the enemy suddenly more diverse.

Overjoyed, Lu Lin couldn't help but think of Mu Yetong again.

How did Mu Yetong manage to master the Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi, which is so difficult to cultivate?
He is indeed a genius, but to condense such blood essence, talent alone is far from enough; without the support of massive resources, it would all be in vain.

Where did he get those four Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Essences?

Unless... the Xuanming Cold Dragon deep in the Yanling Mountains takes the initiative to cooperate with him?
But is this possible?
Lu Lin had a feeling that this matter was probably far more complicated than it appeared on the surface!
He composed himself and glanced at the Martial Arts Furnace panel:

"Ten Kills of the Heavenly Dragon" is an innate killing move attached to the "Mysterious Dark Frost Dragon Blood罡 Technique".

This deadly move is not bound by fixed moves, but is an extremely complex fighting technique. Fists, palms, fingers, claws, legs, ramming, leaning... all can be transformed into deadly attacks. It was created specifically for life-or-death battles, and is unpredictable and infinitely powerful.

Lu Lin recalled the scene of sparring with Mu Yetong. The opponent's moves were indeed unpredictable, sometimes punching and sometimes clawing, and their power must have far exceeded other innate killing moves.

Without any hesitation, and with ample time to cultivate, Lu Lin directly channeled his cultivation time into the "Ten Kills of the Heavenly Flood Dragon".

As expected, the more powerful the killing move, the more difficult it is to cultivate.

Without extraordinary talent, one can only rely on years of honing and accumulating experience...

Time flies by during meditation.

In the end, Lu Lin spent a full three thousand years of cultivation time to finally bring the "Ten Kills of the Heavenly Flood Dragon" to its perfect state!

It takes three times longer than the "Dragon Ape World-Shaking Fist," not to mention other killing moves.

"How exactly did Mu Yetong cultivate?" Lu Lin clicked his tongue in amazement.

Mu Yetong's age is no more than three hundred years old, and judging from the level of his "Ten Kills of the Heavenly Dragon," he should have already reached the pinnacle.

It's true what they say, comparing yourself to others is infuriating!

Then, considering that the Martial Saint of three thousand years ago was able to create a complete method for forging the Golden Body of Martial Arts, such talent is truly astonishing and unparalleled.

"However, I don't need to belittle myself. I also have my own unique advantages. Who dares to say that having a cheat code isn't another kind of talent?" Lu Lin smiled slightly and quickly adjusted his mindset.

His gaze swept over the martial arts furnace again; there were still 3,140 years and two months left in his cultivation.

That's enough for now!
He stood up, familiarized himself with the new blood energy for a moment, and then with a flash, quietly returned to the mountain peak he had been on before, his sharp gaze fixed on the calm lake in the distance.

“Three powerful dragons are entrenched here, and other formidable monsters are likely lurking in the vicinity. If we act rashly, we could easily trigger an attack. With my current strength, it's not advisable to force our way in…” Lu Lin frowned slightly, calmly analyzing the situation.

Despite successfully condensing the "Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood Qi" and perfecting the "Heavenly Dragon Ten Kills", his overall combat strength has not improved significantly compared to before.

After all, the Xuanming Cold Dragon Blood Qi only has three patterns, which makes it difficult to fully unleash the true power of the "Ten Kills of the Heavenly Dragon".

To fully utilize this technique, one must ultimately rely on a profound foundation of "Mysterious Netherworld Cold Dragon Blood Qi".

If they were to fight here, the commotion would be too great, and if it attracted more demonic beasts, or even caught the attention of that old dragon high in the sky, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, with the opportunity right in front of him, how could he be willing to let it slip away?
"It would be better to inform Tuoba Feng of this information. It's better for the Martial Saint's legacy to fall into the hands of the Demonic Sect than into the hands of the other four sects." Lu Lin's mind raced as he quickly weighed the pros and cons.

If he were to inherit the legacy of the Demonic Sect, given his relationship with Luo Siqing, he would always have the opportunity to come into contact with or even acquire it in the future.

If it falls into the hands of another sect, then he will truly have no hope at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin no longer hesitated and decisively took out the sensing talisman, injecting a wisp of pure blood energy into it.

Soon, the sensing talisman transmitted a clear vibration feedback.

Not long after—

call out!call out!call out!
Several streaks of light of different colors pierced through the air, their powerful auras undisguised.

The leader was none other than Tuoba Feng!
He's here!
P.S., guys, please give me some monthly votes!
