Chapter 151: Chapter 111: Blood Absorption Chapter

"It’s actually a C-level skill!"

Liou Yuan slightly opened his mouth, his eyes scanned several times over the quality of the magic to confirm that he hadn’t seen wrong, and then his expression turned peculiar.

He had considered this possibility. With the foundation of the Jin Dynasty, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to produce a C-level magic.

However, when it was truly placed in his hands, Liou Yuan couldn’t help but marvel at the generosity of the Jin Dynasty.

"They sent this C-level magic just like that, making me feel somewhat flattered," Liou Yuan murmured to himself.

"I’ve again benefited from my brother’s influence."

Although his achievements were significant, he merely provided some intelligence.

He didn’t contribute to the killing of the Calamity-level Star Evil.

It was clear that the Jin Dynasty favored him entirely because of his brother, meaning he indirectly received his brother’s assistance.

Moreover, this C-level magic was specifically for body cultivation blood energy, as if it were tailor-made for Liou Yuan.

Yet Liou Yuan had only just broken through to the stage of revealing his blood energy, and he rarely disclosed the state of his body refining. How did the Jin Dynasty know this magic suited him?

"My body cultivation secret cannot be concealed before a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator. It must have been Mr. Sun who saw through my background and reported it up."

Liou Yuan quickly deduced the reason.

"Mr. Sun likely didn’t report my Evil Eyes issue."

"Otherwise, the magic in my hands would not be related to body cultivation. It must be related to spiritual eyes."

Of course, it’s also possible that it was reported, and the body cultivation skill was sent specifically to confuse Liou Yuan.

After all, at that time, Mr. Sun’s Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator made only a verbal promise, and there would be no risk in breaking it.

Liou Yuan couldn’t care less about Mr. Sun. As long as the issue of the Evil Eyes doesn’t spread in the Five Extremes Mountain, it’s fine. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

His attention was quickly drawn to the Blood Imperial Spell in his hands.

Carefully reading the three magics recorded in the Jade Scroll, each description made Liou Yuan’s heart soar.

"Now this is magic," Liou Yuan grew increasingly delighted as he read.

The spells he practiced now weren’t any above C-level.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t weigh the Talismanic Skill so heavily.

"Though I didn’t acquire the follow-up spells of the Talismanic Skill during the trip to Chouhuai City, having this Blood Imperial Spell as compensation is quite enough."

Before obtaining approval for a cave dwelling, the spiritual qi of Xiaopei Mountain was already insufficient for Liou Yuan.

He simply stopped practicing, holding onto the cherished crimson Jade Scroll, placing it against his brow.

"Let’s see if this C-level magic study path is difficult for a genius like me."

...

In Cave Dwelling No. 2, Ding Block.

On the walls of the cave, two round Luminous Pearls were embedded, their gentle glow illuminating the entire cave with a mystical tranquility.

In the center of the cave, a large bluestone bed stood firmly.

Near the entrance was a bronzed Pill Furnace, full of mottled rust, its body carved with bizarre runes, weathered by time.

Liou Yuan examined this bronze Pill Furnace on the first day he moved into the cave, finding it damaged and incapable of alchemy.

The disciples of Zhe’an Tower didn’t take it away, considering it a decorative piece to embellish the cave.

The floor was paved with even slabs of bluestone, each meticulously polished, the seams between stones seamlessly aligned.

On the surface of the bluestone were intricate array patterns.

This was the Spirit Gathering Array unique to Cave Dwelling No. 2, Ding Block.

It could automatically absorb star power at night and store it within the cave, available for the master’s use at any time.

Thanks to this Spirit Gathering Array, even though it was broad daylight without starlight, the cave was filled with rich star energy.

Liou Yuan, lying on the stone bed, needed no further guidance as the star energy rushed towards the two Star Acupoints in his body.

Liou Yuan didn’t know how long he had cultivated, but only when a new wisp of spiritual power gathered within his internal organs did he reluctantly withdraw from his cultivation state.

He spoke with a tone full of emotion:

"The spiritual qi of Xiaopei Mountain is already more than twice that of the outside, and this cave’s even more extravagant. In such an environment, star stones aren’t even necessary for cultivation."

"No wonder outer sect disciples flocked to the cave dwellings. Spending thirty-five merit points a year on this is worth it."

Today marked the seventh day since Liou Yuan moved into the cave dwelling.

Seven days of cultivation here equaled half a month at Xiaopei Mountain.

During these days, he hardly stepped outside, longing to fix his legs onto the stone bed, eager to soak in the accelerated cultivation supported by the cave.

But considering the next Star Rotation is approaching, if he selfishly drained all the star energy stored by the Spirit Gathering Array, next month’s Evil Star Shift would mean he couldn’t borrow the array’s power and would need star stones again.

The primary function of this Spirit Gathering Array was to store star energy, ensuring Five Extremes Mountain disciples could maintain regular cultivation during the Evil Star Shift.

Hence, he resisted the impulse to continue shutting himself off to allow the Spirit Gathering Array time to absorb and store more star energy.

"Maintaining the same cultivation frequency as in Xiaopei Mountain should suffice, nighttime cultivation without excessively consuming the array’s star energy by day."

"Cultivation isn’t something that can be rushed; it’s a steady process, after all."

With this thought, Liou Yuan moved from the stone bed to stretch his body, then sat by its edge, raising his hand from his wide sleeve.

With a bam! A crimson wave of blood energy burst from his body, enveloping him.

Under Liou Yuan’s control, the blood energy coiled around him converged on his raised arm like flowing water.

Reflecting in Liou Yuan’s eyes, his hand was enveloped in the boiling crimson aura, exuding a strange, intense force.

This was the culmination of Liou Yuan’s blood energy, its potency rivaling any magic he controlled.

Thud, thud, thud! As the blood energy boiled on his arm, the surrounding air resonated with a deep sonic boom.

Such power demanded respect from any ordinary Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer disciple.

Yet, Liou Yuan deemed it insufficient, taking a deep breath, intent on furthering his blood energy.

But the blood energy on his hand was compressed to its limit, refusing to flow further despite Liou Yuan’s efforts.

This persisted for the duration of a tea break, until Liou Yuan had to let go of trying to condense the blood energy, slowly dispersing it from his arm.

"The Blood Imperial Spell is truly difficult to practice!" Liou Yuan shook his head, a rueful smile upon his face.

What he had been practicing was the introductory Chapter of the Blood Imperial Spell, "Blood Absorption."

Since obtaining this magic, Liou Yuan had set aside time daily for its practice.

Undoubtedly, the cultivation of a C-level skill was harder than any spell Liou Yuan had previously practiced. He had yet to touch the threshold of the "Blood Absorption" Chapter.

According to the Blood Absorption Chapter, to glimpse its secrets, a cultivator must condense all blood energy onto the palm, forming a bloody glove, marking the beginning of insight.
