Invincible!

Chapter 42 Blood Refining
"Uncle Jiu, the item has been found."

In the afternoon, the Zhou family members brought over a box.

Zhou Juechen opened the box.

Inside was an ancient book, a token of unknown material, and a map.

"Also, Ninth Uncle, I heard some news when I went out: last night, thieves broke into the Dingfeng Marquis's residence, causing dozens of deaths and injuries. The First Madam, Mo Caiying, also tragically died. It is said that she was humiliated before her death..."

This member of the Zhou family was reporting.

Zhou Juechen paused slightly as he opened the ancient book.

But he still replied, "I understand. Tell the family head that this matter has nothing to do with our Longquan Martial Arts School. If any negative news comes out, remember to clarify."

"Yes."

The Zhou family members agreed and left quickly.

Zhou Juechen continued to peruse the ancient book...

"Blood Refining Technique?"

He stared at it for a moment, his face showing surprise: "This is... the true version of the Blood Jade Technique? No, the Blood Jade Technique is a simplified version..."

After he finished reading the manual, his expression gradually became serious: "This is the real demonic art!"

This secret technique requires a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing before one can practice it.

After cultivation, the body's blood is not only essential for maintaining life, but also a kind of energy that can be refined and utilized.

Not only can it refine blood into strength, amplifying power like true qi, but it can also condense blood into arrows and refine blood into qi.

However, practicing this secret method greatly depletes one's vital energy and blood.

It's so severe that no amount of medicinal cuisine can compensate for it.

and so……

To replenish blood with blood, one must absorb blood!
The best way to improve quickly is to have the blood of a martial artist who has undergone a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing.

If not, then the only way to win is through sheer numbers.

"This shouldn't be called Blood Refining Technique, it should be called Blood Demon Technique!"

Zhou Juechen took a deep breath, intending to tear up the demonic manual and throw it into the furnace to burn immediately.

But as he was about to tear up the book, he couldn't help but glance at some of the words.

The process of refining qi and blood, and transforming qi and blood into essence blood, is essentially about controlling qi and blood.

Only by mastering the Qi and blood can one truly refine the essence and blood, thereby unleashing the power of true Qi, and even condensing blood into arrows and refining blood into aura.

“I don’t practice this secret technique, but it’s not impossible for me to use the process of refining essence and blood to help me quickly control my qi and blood.”

Zhou Juechen pondered to himself.

If one does not further cultivate this secret technique after mastering the Qi and blood, and does not rely on this secret technique in battle, then naturally there will be no loss of Qi and blood, and one will have to replenish blood with blood.

"The goodness or evil of a practice is not determined by the practice itself, but by the person who practices it."

As he pondered, he turned his gaze to the token and the map.

He carefully examined the token.

Despite his strength, he couldn't even scratch it.

Maps, huh...

It is quite exquisite.

He glanced at it a few times, but couldn't match it with any of the mountain and river courses in his memory.

He stood up, took the box, and headed towards the west courtyard.

In the courtyard, Li Xian was still circulating his qi and blood, practicing some kind of secret technique.

After he finished a round of cultivation, Zhou Juechen greeted him, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and opened the box: "Come, take a look."

Li Xian glanced at the Blood Refining Technique, and in just a moment, his eyes lit up: "What a great technique! This technique is of great use to us in controlling our Qi and blood, and even in refining the void into the true form."

"The technique is good, but..."

Zhou Juechen said, "To want to cultivate, yet need to replenish blood with blood... that's a heretical and evil path."

"Do not."

Li Xianyi immediately pointed out the key issue: "It's not due to evil or heretical practices, but rather the cultivators' own lack of strength or resources."

"Ok?"

Zhou Juechen was taken aback. "This secret technique consumes a great deal of qi and blood, which is beyond the capacity of ordinary people to withstand. But if someone is born with superhuman strength and extraordinary talent, and their qi and blood are two, three, or even four or five times that of the Blood Transformation and Marrow Cleansing Technique, wouldn't it be easy for them to cultivate this technique?"

Li Xiandao.

"Physical strength and vitality, two to three, four to five times greater than a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing?"

Zhou Juechen made a quick connection and thought, "Is that still human?"

"Leaving that aside for now, even without someone with exceptional talent, this technique can still be practiced."

Li Xiandao said, "In theory, conventional methods cannot replenish the energy consumed in cultivating this secret technique. Even Blood Spirit Powder won't work. But I remember there is Blood Nourishing Pill above Blood Spirit Powder? If the effect of Blood Nourishing Pill can be increased like that of Precious Jade Soup and Blood Spirit Powder, then taking such pills to cultivate this technique will be a piece of cake."

"Blood-Nourishing Pill..."

Zhou Juechen shook his head.

They couldn't even get Blood Spirit Powder, let alone the even more precious Blood Nourishing Pill.
However, after Li Xian said that, he came to his senses.

This secret technique doesn't necessarily have to be labeled as a demonic art.

even……

It might be a transitional method prepared by those transcendent forces for their core disciples, a process of blood purification and marrow cleansing leading to the attainment of true enlightenment.

"I've never been able to get the hang of controlling my qi and blood, and this technique came at just the right time."

As Li Xian spoke, he looked at Zhou Juechen and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Zhou Juechen then explained the origin of the cultivation technique.

After hearing this, Li Xian felt somewhat regretful.

However, once a person dies, their light goes out, so there's no point in saying more.

"Shall I take a look?"

"You take a look first."

Zhou Juechen said, "I'll take care of things here."

"Ah."

Li Xian responded and quickly focused his attention on the secret manual.

The more he looked at this secret technique, the more exquisite he found it.

If someone with abundant vital energy and exceptional talent were to practice this secret method, their progress from blood transfusion and marrow cleansing to mastering vital energy would be rapid and boundless.

Even without fully comprehending the unity of primordial chaos, one can rely on abundant qi and blood to forcibly sense the location of qi and blood, and then begin to cultivate truth through the illusion.

Even if one is not exceptionally gifted, as long as there is a sufficient supply of Blood Nourishing Pills, mastering this secret technique and then controlling one's Qi and Blood is not difficult.

"With insufficient resources and an inadequate background, one can only rely on hard training to comprehend the unity of primordial chaos, thereby reducing internal consumption through continuous self-generation until the essence and energy are perfected, and only then can one begin to control the qi and blood."

Just like fishing with a hook, it all depends on luck.

However, the Blood Refining Technique manipulates Qi and Blood in a way that is like directly catching fish in a net.

Although casting a large net is costly and consumes a lot of energy, the probability of catching fish is much higher than that of fishing.
"The Transcendent State can effectively unlock the limitations of my body, while the Heavenly Demon Body Disintegration Technique utilizes the Core Formation and the burning of Qi and Blood to push the body in its extreme state to an even higher limit. The combination of the two is tantamount to breaking the shackles of the physical body, thus giving me the foundation to possess a physique that is two or even three times stronger than that of the Blood Exchange and Marrow Cleansing Realm, further supplemented by the Blood Refining Technique..."

After briefly examining the ancient book, Li Xian had already made up his mind.

As for the token and map in the box...

Just kidding. Given the transportation conditions in ancient times, he might even get lost outside Lijiang City, let alone find the location marked on a map.

At that moment, Li Xian composed himself.

While recuperating his body, he also optimized the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and the Limitless State, and began refining his essence blood.

Since he lacked the Blood Nourishing Pill, he was extremely careful during the process of refining his essence blood.

If the refining process is slower, then so be it.

With his talent, if all goes well, he will be able to extract the first drop of essence blood sooner or later.

In this situation, he made gains and grew almost every day.

This was a sense of fulfillment he had never experienced before, when he had reached his limit on Earth and had to waste his time practicing fist techniques, sword techniques, and body techniques.

This sense of fulfillment made him so engrossed that he forgot all about home and even the time.

Six days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the seventh day, even though Zhou Juechen didn't want to disturb him, he still had to go to Li Xian, who was so engrossed in cultivation that he couldn't extricate himself.

“We have to go. Unless you want to wait for the next five-year cycle, otherwise… the Dragon Gate Tournament will officially begin in about twenty days. It’s 2,300 li from the Li River to the capital, and it will take about half a month to get there. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late.”
