The Xuanwu Qi was a treasure that could rapidly increase his cultivation, so of course, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t enjoy it alone, and had already thought about which people he would give it to.
The last bottle, he wanted to give to his Ninth Sister and Fourth Brother who were far away in the Yunwu County Country, he just didn’t know, would they be able to make it to the Eastern Domain Sacred City before the wedding?
With eight bottles of Xuanwu Qi, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Figure Scroll World.
In the Figure Scroll World, four days had passed, and only one night had passed in the outside world.
Right now, it was early morning, the sky had just opened up, and in the air, there was a faint coolness.
Zhang Ruochen found Kong Xuan and gave her six of the bottles of Xuanwu Qi, telling her to send them to Huang Yichen, Duanmu Xingling, Chang Qiqi, Si Xingkong, and Lei Jing respectively.
When she was leaving, Zhang Ruochen specifically instructed that she must hand over the Ruyi Treasure Vase, personally, to the hands of the five people.
Kong Xuan’s cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Extremity Realm, and was enough to stand alone, so Zhang Ruochen was still quite relieved to let her do her job.
After Kong Xuan left, Zhang Ruochen found Cold Snow, as well as the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit and the Devil Ape, and brought the one person and two beasts into the Scroll World.
Xiao Hei had imparted top level techniques to the Devouring Elephant Rabbit and Devil Ape, and now, the strength of the two beasts, was not what it used to be.
The Devouring Elephant Rabbit cultivated the Heaven Swallowing Skill, and the Devil Ape cultivated the Great Devil Ten Heavens.
The demonic aura and beastly might emanating from the two beasts were very powerful, and following behind Zhang Ruochen, they looked like two world-defying beasts that had come out of the Mangwu.
Especially the Devil Ape.
It was an ancient relic species, and after cultivating the Great Demon Great Heavens, the bloodline of the ancient Giant Spirit Demon Ape was completely stimulated.
Right now, its body was more than 60 metres tall, like a black mountain, and every time it took a step, it would emit a “booming” sound, causing the ground to shake non-stop.
As for the rabbit swallowing elephants, topped with a big round belly, revealing two snow-white and sharp rabbit teeth, but it looks quite funny.
However, the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit had swallowed Emperor Yi’s Demon Heart, plus the Heaven Swallowing Skill it cultivated was not weaker than the Great Demon Ten Heavens in the slightest.
Zhang Ruochen brought them to the bottom of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and instructed, “In the future, the two of you will follow Cold Snow and cultivate in the Tou Shu World, so don’t make any trouble.”
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen took out two bottles of Jiao Blood and handed them to the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit and Devil Ape.
In the Xuanwu Ruins Realm, Zhang Ruochen had killed many Red Cloud Python Jiao and collected a large amount of Jiao Blood, which was now the right time to take it out and help the two beasts enhance their cultivation.
With their increased strength, in the future, they would also be able to become a great help to Zhang Ruochen.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also took out a bottle of Xuanwu Qi that had been prepared long ago and handed it over to Han Xue, patting her little face and letting her go to the side to cultivate alone.
After arranging everything, Zhang Ruochen finally relaxed and began to raise his cultivation.
No matter what time of the day it was, one could not slack off on their cultivation, only by continuously improving their strength could they do more meaningful things.
The first step, of course, was to first refine the Nurturing Sacred Blood Soil and continue cultivating the Three Spirit Treasure Body.
At the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, Zhang Ruochen could only refine one catty and two taels of Nurturing Saint Blood Soil before his body reached saturation. Now, he had first impacted to the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Heavenly Extremity Realm and reached the First Transformation of the Fish Dragon.
Breaking through two realms in a row, he would definitely be able to refine more Nurturing Saint Blood Soil.
With his current cultivation level, would he be able to succeed in cultivating the Three Spirit Treasure Body in one fell swoop on this?
The Three Spirit Treasure Body was comparable to a Saint Body.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was incredibly eager to successfully cultivate it.
As long as he succeeded, he would become even more powerful in the same realm.
“Refining one catty of Sacred Nurturing Blood Soil will save a year of hard cultivation. Even if it can’t be cultivated into the Three Spirit Treasure Body, it should still be able to enhance his cultivation for a few years.”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Nurturing Saint Blood Soil and began to refine it.
Half a month passed in an instant.
Zhang Ruochen refined seven jin of Nurturing Saint Blood Soil into his body, fusing it with his own sinews, bones, flesh and blood.
Together with the one jin and two taels of Nurturing Saint Blood Soil that he had previously refined, he had refined a total of eight jin and two taels, and was already quite close to the Three Spirit Treasure Body.
Zhang Ruochen exhaled a long breath, ”The body has reached saturation and can no longer absorb the Nurturing Saint Blood Soil. However, having refined seven jin of Nurturing Sacred Blood Soil, it is comparable to my seven years of hard cultivation, my cultivation has already reached the middle stage of the Fish Dragon First Transformation from the beginning stage of the Fish Dragon First Transformation.”
“If my cultivation, can reach the high stage of the Fish Dragon First Transformation, I will be able to refine more Nurturing Sacred Blood Soil, and I might be able to cultivate into the Three Spirit Treasure Body in one go.”
Zhang Ruochen had reached the Supreme Extreme Realm a total of four times, allowing him to battle high realms with low realms.
However, there were advantages and naturally disadvantages.
The disadvantage was that every realm he broke through was ten times, or even a hundred times, more difficult than other cultivators.
At the same realm, the resources consumed, he was also tens, even hundreds of times more than other cultivators.
Thus, refining seven jin of Nurturing Sacred Blood Soil only allowed him to reach the middle stage of the Fish Dragon First Transformation from the beginning stage of the Fish Dragon First Transformation.
Next, his goal was to impact the high stage of the Fish Dragon First Transformation.
If he were to follow a normal cultivation speed, he would need to spend ten years before he could break through to the high stage of the Fish Dragon First Transformation.
However, he possessed many top-notch cultivation resources, and once he took them, he would be able to save a great deal of cultivation time. For example: the Jiao Bead of the Wrecked Jiao King, Half-Saint Jiao Blood, Xuanwu Qi, and Xuanwu Sacred Blood.
Any of the four treasures could be considered priceless.
Among them, the Jiao Bead of the Wrecked Jiao King was the most precious, and Zhang Ruochen planned to take it in the future, when he impacted a higher realm.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen decided to take the Xuanwu Sacred Blood.
The Green Flame Xuanwu was an Eighth Order Savage Beast, comparable to a Saint King like existence, each drop of blood was like a top grade elixir, containing full of Saint Power and Blood Qi.
Zhang Ruochen poured the first drop of Xuanwu Sacred Blood out of the Ruyi Treasure Vase, and using his true qi, he held it in place and suspended it above the palm of his left hand.
The Xuanwu Sacred Blood, emitted an eye-catching red light, as if it was a crystal clear red gem.
“Wow!”
Swallowing the Xuanwu Sacred Blood, into his mouth, was like swallowing a mouthful of flame.
In an instant, Zhang Ruochen’s internal organs and meridians burned up, emitting a “popping” sound. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t suppress the powerful force contained in the Xuanwu Saint Blood, and a trace of flame poured out from his pores.
A breath later, with Zhang Ruochen’s body as the centre, within a radius of ten paces, the flames burned vigorously, turning it into a small fire domain.
Even with the Dragon Pearl protecting his body, Zhang Ruochen still felt incomparably uncomfortable, his entire body aching. The heart, lungs, liver and gallbladder, including every meridian, every blood vessel, and every bone, were all burning.
It seemed that the next moment, he was going to be burnt to ashes by the heat of the Xuanwu Sacred Blood.
Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth, endured the pain, and slowly moved his hands, bringing the palms of his hands together as he shouted, “Fifth layer of the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Sutra, Xuan Tire Flat Demon Heaven.”
Zhang Ruochen used his powerful Martial Soul to control his body, following the route of the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture’s fifth layer of gongfu, and began to revolve the true qi in his body.
As the true qi operated faster and faster, the speed at which the thirty-six meridians absorbed the Xuanwu Sacred Blood also became faster and faster.
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen entered into cultivation with his whole heart, going to experience the arcane mysteries of the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture while running his gong methods and absorbing the Xuanwu Sacred Blood crazily.
He did not know how long had passed, but the pain in Zhang Ruochen’s body completely disappeared, and instead, a soothing sensation travelled to the thirty-six meridians in his body.
Only after completely absorbing the Xuanwu Sacred Blood did Zhang Ruochen reopen his eyes and let out a long breath.
The clothes on his body had already been burnt to ashes, by the earlier flames.
Zhang Ruochen looked at his skin and realised that on the surface of his skin, a layer of golden luster actually surfaced, seemingly with a golden pattern that flowed on his skin.
He was like a person cast in gold, sitting under a tree.
“Boom boom!”
Zhang Ruochen used his palm, on his chest, and struck two punches, which instantly made a sound of metal clashing, like iron hitting on top of a golden bell.
“What a powerful Xuanwu Sacred Blood, just one drop of it made me break through to the Fish Dragon Second Transformation.”
That’s right.
Zhang Ruochen had already reached the Fish Dragon Second Transformation.
Zhang Ruochen hadn’t even expected that a single drop of Xuanwu Sacred Blood would have such a terrifying power that it almost refined him to death.
Luckily, he hadn’t taken the Jiao Bead of the Wrecked Jiao King, otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would have been even more unable to withstand that power, and might have burst into flames in an instant.
After this incident, Zhang Ruochen had learnt a lesson.
However, Zhang Ruochen had finally survived, and had also broken through to the Fish Dragon Second Transformation, which was considered a blessing due to the disaster.
The second transformation of the Fish Dragon was called “Refining Skin into Gold”.
The so-called “Refining Skin into Gold” was like putting on a layer of golden armour on the cultivator’s entire body, and the defensive power was several levels higher than the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt.
In particular, the golden skin that Zhang Ruochen cultivated into was a fusion of the power of the Green Flame Xuanwu and the Golden Dragon, not only was the defence far superior to that of a cultivator of the same realm, but also his own power had increased by several times.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen had just broken through the realm and was still unable to control the wildly increasing power within his body as he wished, which was why his skin exuded a golden glow and was as hard as iron.
As long as he spent more time consolidating his realm, he would naturally be able to control the power within his body and reach the realm of being able to retract and release it freely.
Earlier, the process of refining the Xuanwu Sacred Blood seemed like only a short while had passed, but in reality, Zhang Ruochen had spent a total of half a year.
Together with the time spent on refining the Nurturing Sacred Blood Soil, Zhang Ruochen had already spent close to seven months in the Scroll World.
With this projection, around twenty days should have passed in the outside world.
However, when Zhang Ruochen had broken through the Fish Dragon Realm, he was able to self-serve his internal qi, refining heaven and earth’s spiritual qi as his own food, reaching the realm of grain-absorption. Therefore, he didn’t feel hungry, instead, his energy became even more vigorous.
Zhang Ruochen operated the fifth layer of the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture and cultivated for another half a month, finally consolidating his realm completely.
“Collect!”
The golden glow on the surface of Zhang Ruochen’s skin gradually became dimmer and finally disappeared completely.
His skin became just like a normal person’s, no longer as hard as iron, however, not only did the defence power not diminish, but instead, it was enhanced by a few points.
“With my current realm, it shouldn’t be difficult to successfully cultivate the Three Spirit Treasure Body. However, the wedding date is getting closer and closer, so I can’t close my mind to cultivate anymore, I must go to the Chen Family to place the bet first.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped continuing his cultivation and began to think about the bride price, what exactly should I take out as a bride price to show enough sincerity?
