Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

Chapter 75 The Original Bloodline of Young Master Lu of the County City [Tiger Refining the Great Elixir] (5.2k)

"Miss, are you alright?!"

Uncle ran over and wrapped Fangyu, who had narrowly escaped death, in his arms, looking flustered and helpless.

The Jin siblings, still shaken, approached from a distance. Jin Cheng said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this tiger demon would attack Young Master Wang directly."

"Logically speaking, after using this essence blood, the tiger demon should have gone berserk on the spot."

"This doesn't make sense."

Meanwhile, Jinxiu looked at the flames still burning fiercely on Tiger Vanguard's severed neck, and then at Wang Qi standing beside the massive corpse.

The moonlight shone on the woman and the tiger, and for a moment her heart skipped a beat.

She recalled Wang Qi's behavior over the past few days.

That's what they mean by "knowing but not reporting" or "shooting from behind."

At this moment, they all became calm and composed.

"Young Master Wang, are you alright?"

She leaned forward and spoke, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Wang Qi simply nodded, "It's nothing."

He looked at the slaying knife in his hand, which was now broken into pieces, with only a small section remaining.

Fortunately, he remembered that the tiger demon was physically strong, and hastily used the Fire Serpent Technique.

Otherwise, this strike wouldn't have been enough to sever the tiger demon's head.

If the fact that the tiger demon was forcibly controlled by him were to fall into the eyes of these people, it would be difficult to explain.

The ferocity of this tiger demon was unprecedented.

The great demon outside the city

It's definitely much better than the sewer alley.

"Young Master Wang's strike was truly brilliant!"

Uncle exclaimed, "The secret techniques of my Fang family are unmatched in Yangliu County when it comes to killing power, but they pale in comparison to Young Master Wang's strike."

"It's because Miss Fang's temperament is a bit lacking. If her sword strike had been more accurate earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have needed to intervene."

Wang Qi was not entirely polite either.

Fangyu's sword strike truly amazed him.

This martial artist from a prominent family is truly not to be underestimated.

"This tiger demon is quite intelligent and speaks human language; it must be the leader of the demons around Millstone Town."

"With this demon dead, the surrounding demons have fallen into disarray, and it's unlikely that any more snake towns will appear in the near future."

Uncle breathed a sigh of relief.

They attributed the snake town incident that Wang Qi and Liang Nan's group had encountered to this tiger demon.

"However, this tiger demon is strange in many ways."

Jincheng was still explaining what had happened earlier.

"My medicine is infallible; there are hundreds of records in the clan that match it."

"But it's no longer effective against this tiger demon."

"That's strange, really strange."

Jin Cheng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Qi and Fang Yu, saying, "This matter was my fault. Young Master Wang and Yu'er can divide the tiger demon meat equally."

Jinxiu, who was standing to the side, was startled by what she heard, but then said nothing more.

Uncle didn't stand on ceremony with the Jin siblings and looked at Wang Qi, saying, "The injuries on this tiger demon are most likely inflicted by Young Master Wang, so let's make it 80/20."

"What does Young Master Wang think?"

"June 4th." Wang Qi took a step back. "If it weren't for Miss Fang's sword blocking my way, I might not have been able to kill the tiger demon so easily." He thought that after the ferocious tiger demon died, they would still argue about how to distribute it.

After all, this is a desolate wilderness, and people can be treacherous.

never thought,

Both of these families from Yangliu County seem to have decent character.

Then Wang Qi shouldn't be stingy.

"I'll take another 10% and give it to the two members of the Jin family."

"Thank you very much!" Jincheng said with a smile, cupping his hands in thanks.

The distribution was conducted peacefully and amicably.

The group immediately began to draw their knives.

The Jin siblings, true to their tiger-killing lineage, first skinned the animal, then cut the meat according to its grain.

Not only did he peel the skin cleanly, but he also cut the meat with practiced ease and natural skill.

Just as the group was rejoicing over the bountiful harvest.

And Wang Qi,

Suddenly looking at the center of the blood pool, he seemed to have just seen something throbbing there.

Before Wang Qi could go and check...

Two uninvited guests suddenly appeared.

They charged out from the side of Wang Qi and his men, ignoring them, and headed straight for the center of the blood pool.

Wang Qi looked over and was surprised to find that one of them had long, deep blue hair, which seemed out of place with the surrounding environment—no,

I don't fit in with them.

They bent down,

A round ball, about half the size of a fist, was pulled out of the pool of blood. It was as elastic as a fish egg.

"A Blood Seed Demon Core, that's quite a generous investment."

"We're so lucky to have found this here."

Uncle stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to the two men, and said, "Gentlemen, may I ask—"

"The third son of the Lu family in Dushui County."

The man with long, deep blue hair spoke without turning his head.

"So you are Young Master Lu, my apologies for my rudeness!"

Uncle originally wanted to argue, but upon hearing the words "Lu family," he immediately lost his temper.

Those were the major families of the county town. They were the three giants of Yangliu County, two of whom were vassals of the Lu family. Their Fang family also had many connections with the Lu family, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that they had done a lot of work for the Lu family.

"Oh, you've heard of the Lu family."

"Looks like he has some status."

Only then did the young master Lu, with his long, azure-blue hair, turn around and look at the group.

"Which company are you from?"

Uncle quickly replied, "This is the eldest daughter of the Fang family head in Yangliu County."

"Oh~"

Young Master Lu understood. "The one who's currying favor with my second uncle, right?"

"Yes." Uncle lowered his head and spoke humbly.

"Since you're on our side, we won't kill you."

Young Master Lu spoke casually, with a smile on his face.

But it sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Did this smiling young master Lu have already been planning to kill them all along?

Uncle trembled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't make any rash moves.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Qi, who was standing to the side, listened as the young master Lu casually took their spoils and spared their lives.

A fire suddenly ignited in my heart.

They killed the tiger demon, but it was intercepted by Young Master Lu of Dushui County, who even demanded their gratitude.

"May I ask, Young Master Lu, what is that?"

Uncle asked, "As far as I know, only third-tier demons can condense a demon core. Although the demon core doesn't have a fixed location, it's always inside the demon's body. How did this demon core end up in the blood?"

"Ask less of what you shouldn't ask," the person accompanying Young Master Lu said coldly.

But Young Master Lu smiled and raised his hand, "They're all our own dogs, what's wrong with saying something?"

"It's good to tell you all this to broaden your horizons. If you ever find such a treasure in the future, remember to send it to the county town—I will reward you handsomely."

"The demon race values ​​the closeness of their bloodline to their ancestors. Each breakthrough in rank is a return to their ancestral roots, purifying their bloodline."

"The demon core formed by a third-tier demon is the essence of blood and essence refined through three purifications of its bloodline."

"Afterwards, by devouring all things and refining them, the speed of reversion to one's ancestral form will be even faster."

"But some powerful demons still feel that their cultivation is not fast enough, so they seek other methods to increase their cultivation speed."

"The unformed Blood Seed Demon Core in my hand is one of them."

"Use external materials to refine a demon core, then swallow it—and you will have two."

Wang Qi was also greatly surprised to hear this.

He had never heard of these remarks before.

"I always thought that the demon race crushed us because of their innate racial advantages."

"I thought that since we humans have cultivation methods, our cultivation speed would be much faster. Given time, we would catch up with the demon race."

Jin Cheng was shocked, feeling that his past beliefs were collapsing.

"So they also have this kind of spiritual practice."

"Then wouldn't we be—."

The man beside Young Master Lu spoke up, "Otherwise, why do you think our human race would cower in this remote corner, unable to venture even an inch beyond our borders?"

Jin Cheng gave a bitter laugh, "Since we have no advantage in race, and our cultivation methods are also roughly equal, in a battle between cultivators of the same realm, most human martial artists are no match for demons."

"How should we deal with this?"

"How to launch a counterattack?"

He harbored ambitions.

Just like Master Huang's tour of several border counties, where he conveyed the same ideas to the people of each county year after year.

They will eventually storm the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and reclaim their homeland.

Right now, we're just conserving our energy.

But looking at it now—

At least Jin Cheng doesn't know how to catch up with or surpass the Great Demon.

"Hehe." Young Master Lu chuckled lightly, "It's rare that you have this kind of thought."

"Don't be afraid."

All flesh and blood bodies in the world are nothing more than five kinds of insects.

"Win, scales, hair, feathers, shell."

"Humans are the victors, hairless and scaleless, neither bird nor beast, possessing limitless potential!"

Young Master Lu spoke loudly and confidently, "Our clan is now pursuing a new path, also focused on enhancing our bloodline and evolving supernatural powers."

"South of the river, under the rule of the Great Tang Dynasty, nine bloodline originators have already been born, and powerful clans have emerged from them."

"In terms of physical strength alone, they are no less powerful than great demons. Their innate divine abilities are comparable to those of dragons and phoenixes!"

Excitement began to gleam in Young Master Lu's eyes.

It seemed as if he was speaking to them, but in reality, he was addressing someone far away and unknown.

"Their bloodline was sublimated for the first time during the Blood Transformation Realm."

"Transferring blood to create new life, refining it into primordial blood."

"Hahaha--""

"I, Lu Jun, will be number ten!"

Lu Jun laughed wildly, as if he were insane, and his laughter echoed throughout the snowy forest.

Holding the Blood Seed Demon Core in his hand, he strode away with the cold-faced man accompanying him.

Only the original place remains.

Wang Qi and the others were stunned.

"That young master Lu, he's probably a madman—" Jinxiu only dared to speak after the two young masters Lu had gone far away.

"That young master Lu is indeed a bit unconventional."

Uncle struggled to find a word.

"I remembered the rumors about this Young Master Lu."

"Rumor has it that in order to refine new blood, he once slaughtered an entire village and refined it."

"As a result, because he was a young master of the Lu family, he was only exiled for one year, which was offset by killing demons."

"However, in the army, his mad behavior actually earned his battalion numerous merits. Young Master Lu, by a stroke of luck, gained the appreciation of a certain garrison commander. His future is getting brighter and brighter."

"The man beside Young Master Lu just now had icy eyes and exuded murderous intent—now that I think about it, he must have been a soldier."

Wang Qi, who was equally shocked by Lu Jun's words, suddenly spoke up.

"A demon core can refine one's own bloodline?"

"Perhaps."

The two young men's eyes met, both extremely excited.

"The demon core is the essence of a great demon's blood and contains potent poison. It needs to be refined with powerful medicines. After consumption, it can generate essence blood and enhance strength."

It is indeed of great benefit to martial artists at the Blood Transformation Realm.

Uncle slowly spoke, "As for what Young Master Lu just said, I suggest that you two not believe it."

"As I said, this Young Master Lu is a bit unconventional."

The old man and the two young men had completely opposite ways of thinking.

Uncle even felt that the two young men had been influenced by those words.

indeed,

Young Master Lu's words were indeed moving, but he had heard similar things since childhood.

But those who said such things, apart from the now famous Master Huang of Dushui County, have all disappeared.

As for the area south of the river, is there really any so-called bloodline origin or the eight great clans?

Uncle himself didn't know either.

Unexpected changes,

The initial excitement of the group after killing the demon was somewhat dampened.

Wang Qi's capture of the thousand-pound tiger demon was a great success.

Heihe County, inside Xiashui Lane.

"What did you say you saw at the county magistrate's residence?" Lao Fei, dressed in a yellow robe, squatted at the shopkeeper's feet, looking like a doctor.

He was holding something that looked like a gua sha board, and he was scraping back and forth on the deformed area on his foot.

The skin was torn open, and black, foul-smelling fluid oozed out, with blood flowing continuously.

"Nothing...it's nothing."

Manager Ma gritted his teeth.

"I heard that, Manager Ma. You said the entire defense map of Heihe County is in his study?"

Lao Fei said with a smile, "As you know, that's what happened to our Fragrant Meat Cult after that night."

"We are surrounded by enemies on all sides."

"What if—what if something really happens to you? What will you do with your leg injury? What about your wife and children?"

"Do me a favor and get me a copy of that defense map."

"If anything happens, we can easily make a run for it, right?"

"Old Ma, think about your child. Doesn't he always talk about wanting to go to school in the county town?"

Manager Ma gritted his teeth, "You wouldn't be colluding with the demon race, would you?"

"absurd!"

Lao Fei suddenly flew into a rage, "We are human beings! We are members of the Fragrant Flesh Cult, dedicated to saving the world and its people! How could we do such a thing?!"

"I took the picture just to protect myself!"

Seeing Lao Fei's fury, Manager Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, I'll think of a way..."

"The defensive map may have been moved to a different location long ago; Lao Ji is still very cautious about this kind of thing."

"Just do your best."

Within Mopan Town.

Fangyu hired someone to procure some giant logs to make a simple coffin.

The plan was to seal Hong Yucheng and Ding Kai's heads and body parts inside, and upon returning to Heihe County, immediately have the镖行 (bodyguard agency) send them back to Yangliu County.

Wang Qi was unable to enter the town's house where he was staying because the thousand-pound tiger demon was too large.

They could only set up a simple camp in the snow and dissect the huge tiger demon corpse again.

Simultaneously,

He was still thinking about what that somewhat eccentric young master Lu had said.

"The demon core belongs to a third-tier great demon, while the tiger demon is only a second-tier one—so, is that blood-seed demon core being refined by the tiger demon for another great demon, or is it being guarded by the tiger demon?"

So, this tiger demon is just a minor boss.

If you go further north from Mopan Town, you'll probably encounter even more terrifying monsters of the third rank or higher.

Even a second-tier tiger demon is this difficult to deal with.

If he were to face the third-tier opponent behind him, it would be impossible for him to defeat them without his own strength.

Bladder.

An irregular 'blood clot' suddenly fell from the tiger demon's flesh and blood, from the edge of Wang Qi's blade.

He quickly picked it up and carefully wiped away the bloodstains with snow.

This "blood clot" was crescent-shaped and emitted an unusual glow.

It's somewhat similar to the Blood Seed Demon Core that Young Master Lu picked up from the Blood Pool.

Half a demon core?!

Wang Qi's eyes lit up.

see through!

He did not hesitate at all.

A purple light slowly appeared before my eyes.

[The Incomplete Tiger-Refined Elixir: A powerful tonic pill refined by a tiger demon. After consumption, it refines the bloodline, enhances qi and blood, strengthens bones, and grants the body of a fierce tiger with boundless strength.]

Refine your bloodline!

Upon seeing these four words, Wang Qi felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

If even the mad Lu Gongzi became the tenth bloodline primordial body, why can't I, with my innate advantages, become one?

Why can't we do it?

Wang Qi is now eager to enter the Blood Transformation Realm.

Having completed the blood transfusion, he has achieved a sublimation.

Wang Qi thought,

He was about to swallow the Tiger Refining Pill in his hand.

He brought the dan to his lips, then suddenly stopped.

Wang Qi brought out the pot he had brought from home.

see through!

[A large, exquisite wok: Food cooked in this wok will have a wonderful aroma.]

pity···.

Wang Qi looked at the large pot, which had simply been transformed into a refined one, with a slight sense of disappointment.

Although one's ability to see through inanimate objects like metal may not affect others, it can affect oneself.

Just like his own peach wood sword.

So Wang Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and wondered if he could turn his big pot into a peach wood pot or something.

The food cooked then will be as if it's been enchanted, possessing exorcising properties.

That would be much more convenient.

"We still need to find the right materials."

Wang Qi made a note of this matter.

Undeterred, he started adding various seasonings to the pot and then brought out the raw materials for his Five-Color Foundation-Building Soup, creating a chaotic stew.

see through!

【Five-Colored Foundation-Building Soup: ————·】

Having used up all three of his chances for the day, Wang Qi felt slightly dizzy.

But that's about it.

He estimated that if he practiced for another ten days or so, he could increase the number of times he could see through things each day to four.

Thinking about it this way,

Wang Qi threw the Tiger Refining Pill into the pot.

His eyes were fixed on it, ready to retrieve the Tiger Refining Pill as soon as it showed any signs of melting.

He wanted to see what effect adding another layer of breaking would have.

Unfortunately,

The contents of the pot were no longer discernible.

Soon,

A unique aroma wafted into my nose from the pot.

I waited a while longer.

The aroma is stronger.

Wang Qi then waited until there was no change in the pot.

He then fished the Tiger Refining Pill out of it and swallowed it whole.

The tiger-refined elixir melts upon entering the mouth.

It transformed into a warm current that surged into the limbs and bones.

Click click click...

In a flash,

His entire body was renowned for its strength and vigor, and he made a series of loud noises.

His blood and qi seemed to boil, and his pupils instantly transformed into vertical pupils resembling those of a cat or tiger.

"Roar~"

Wang Qi let out a low growl.

Like a roaring tiger, the sound seemed to startle even the white snow beneath our feet.

"What a potent drug!"

Wang Qi muttered to himself.

It's unclear whether this 'purple quality' Tiger Refining Pill was inherently so powerful, or whether it was further enhanced after being refined in my Five-Colored Foundation Building Soup.

Wang Qi's heart was filled with restlessness and boundless madness.

He walked to a giant tree not far away, as thick as four people could hug, and suddenly swung his fist.

Boom boom boom!

His punches were powerful and heavy.

Almost double what it was before!

A punch landed.

The giant tree shattered, creating a large crater, and the entire tree began to sway precariously.

The second punch!

The giant tree crashed down, falling towards Wang Qi's side.

Two fists,

Smashing down a giant tree that was as thick as four people could hug.

In other words—.

Could I really kill an ordinary strongman with just two punches, bare-handed?!

He recalled what the tiger demon had done in the forest earlier.

That seems to be true...

"Though the area outside the city is dangerous, it's also truly full of amazing adventures!"

Wang Qi let out a long howl at the empty forest.

Especially for him, the area outside the city was like adding wings to a tiger.

Let's cook some tiger demon meat and continue practicing while we eat!

Wang Qi walked back and continued his cultivation.
