255Chapter 254 He was diligent in his cultivation and studies leaving no room for leisure

I offer my blood to the heavens, I dedicate my blood to all living beings…

Upon activating the Reverse Meridian Blood Burst Technique, the first thing that catches the eye is a string of words filled with murderous intent, which immediately makes Yu Xian’s expression freeze.

Thinking back to the introductions of the cultivation techniques I used to read, they were all basically praising their own power.

The cultivator who created this technique was filled with intense killing intent!

It should be noted that although this technique does not involve killing living beings to collect their essence and blood to become stronger, but rather purely consumes one’s own blood, those who are ruthless to themselves are often even more ruthless to their enemies!

That cultivator must be ruthless and terrifying…

He wanted to offer his blood as a sacrifice to all living beings under heaven!

And offerings of respect can only be made to the dead!

He wants to kill all living beings!

Such a person has already gone beyond the scope of heretical cultivation.

This is a true demon!

Evil cultivators harm people mostly in order to become stronger and quickly improve their cultivation level.

While they were harming people, they all knew they were harming people and that their actions were wrong, but they had to do it in order to become stronger, ultimately extinguishing their conscience and humanity.

But the devil is different.

The devil harms people, but he doesn’t even realize that he is harming people!

Instead, they believe they are saving the world!

They believe they are absolutely right.

They have a compassionate heart, yet they slaughter living beings like cutting grass, for no reason other than the “justice,” “rescue,” and “mercy” in their hearts!

And after killing people, they will use lofty words like “helping” and “liberating” to describe it!

This is the most terrifying and unimaginable kind of evil.

Those evil cultivators who kill for their cultivation are, in the face of such a great demon, simply kind and good people.

A boundless demon, the enemy of all living beings.

Yu Xian’s gaze sharpened for a moment before he looked past the bloodthirsty opening and towards the subsequent cultivation techniques.

This technique is quite powerful, and it is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower.

The copy in Yu Xian’s hand is only the first volume, which can be cultivated to the Great Perfection of Core Formation.

With just the first volume, one can cultivate to the Great Perfection of Core Formation. If one possesses the middle or lower volumes, one might even reach the Nascent Soul stage!

This technique is already the second most powerful technique that Yu Xian has ever seen or heard of.

Xiao Duo’s nine-silkworm molting technique is probably slightly inferior.

Only his own Great Elixir Body Refining Technique, the strongest technique Yu Xian had ever heard of or seen, could reliably suppress it.

Although the Reverse Meridian Blood Burst Technique is powerful, its highest level can still be deduced.

However, the highest realm of the Great Elixir Body Tempering Technique was a level that Yu Xian could not even imagine or measure.

“I don’t know what the creatures of this world have done to offend you, to give you such a bloodthirsty heart. But since the world still exists, you are destined to fail and be killed by the stronger.”

After spending three hours reading through the technique, Yu Xian calmly muttered to himself, “But the technique you inherited is flawless. This technique is not evil; it is your life’s work, and I will not destroy it.”

After saying that, Yu Xian reached out and erased the murderous words at the beginning, leaving only the technique, and put it back into his storage bag.

Although he had not learned this technique, after reading the whole text, he roughly understood that this technique was both a method and a practice.

While cultivating one’s spiritual realm, it can also refine one’s physique and increase one’s essence and blood, making it quite powerful.

Unfortunately, what Chao Lang encountered was a proper, pure body-refining technique, the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique!

The Great Elixir Body Refining Technique was far superior to the Reverse Meridian Blood Explosion Technique. In addition, Yu Xian had also cultivated to the late stage of the Lesser Elixir Body Refining Technique, which is why he was beaten to death by Yu Xian.

“The body refined by the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique has extremely abundant essence and blood. Although it is not very compatible with the Blood Exquisite and Blood Burning Technique, the loss of essence and blood is within control under the Blood Suppression Technique.”

Yu Xian put away the Reverse Meridian Blood Explosion Technique and muttered to himself.

In terms of physical cultivation, the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique far surpasses the Reverse Meridian Blood Explosion Technique.

Regardless of their relative merits, the ultimate result of body-refining methods is always a strong physical body and powerful essence and blood, ultimately achieving a level where the physical body alone is invulnerable to all magical attacks.

Therefore, the powerful physical body and abundant essence and blood cultivated by the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique are naturally much stronger than that of the Reverse Meridian Blood Explosion Technique.

Therefore, Yu Xian’s deduction is correct.

Even though the cultivation methods are different, the physical body cultivated by the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique may not be very compatible with the Blood Jade, Blood Burning Technique, Blood Shield, and other spells that come with the Reverse Meridian Blood Burst Technique, but the effect will not be too different.

Because Yu Xian has enough powerful essence blood to forcibly activate it!

This is what they call, “It doesn’t matter if we don’t match, miracles happen when we exert great effort.”

Yu Xian made up his mind and placed the two spell scrolls, Blood Crystal and Blood Burning Technique, in front of him.

As for the Blood Shield Technique, he already has the Wood God Armor of the Vine Great Art, so he doesn’t need to learn other defensive techniques. Defensive techniques are not offensive techniques; it’s better to master one than to know everything.

As for everything else, Yu Xian picked and chose, deciding what to sell and what to use later, and then put away the empty storage bags.

Next up is the third storage bag.

It was also a reward given to him by the Haotian Sect for his trip to the Xuantian Secret Realm.

Having killed six people and earned the greatest merit, the reward in this storage bag must be quite substantial.

With a hint of anticipation, Yu Xian raised his hand and took the storage bag. With a thought, he reached inside.

The light flickered.

The first thing you see is a pile of mid-grade spirit stones, neatly stacked, totaling two thousand.

Then came two bottles of pills. Yu Xian could tell at a glance that they were two high-grade fourth-tier healing and cultivation medicines.

These two precious medicines might be good for other Foundation Establishment cultivators, but for Yu Xian, they were only so-so, because his vision was too broad.

It was another longsword-shaped magical artifact, surrounded by three-colored light, faintly transforming into a dragon.

This magic weapon is quite good, a low-grade fifth-tier weapon. Upon closer inspection, the words “Cloud Dragon” are engraved on the hilt, indicating that its power is much greater than that of the Azure Spirit Sword.

One of the contribution tokens had the number 200 on it, which seemed to represent 200 points of sect contribution.

A secret manual.

A spell scroll.

The Mysterious Heaven Blood Nourishing Method

Mysterious Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique

The exercise appears to be a method for nourishing the body; if I’m not mistaken, it should have been prepared by Fu Ning’an for Yu Xian.

After all, he knew that Yu Xian was a body cultivator, and that his physical essence had been severely depleted. If he did not replenish the deficiency in time, it would be difficult for him to condense his core in the future!

Back then, Zheng Huo’s statement that the stronger a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s physical body, the easier it would be to condense the core later was nothing but ignorant nonsense from someone who was like a frog in a well.

Now that Yu Xian has a broader perspective, he understands why body cultivators are so few in number. Body cultivators use their fists and feet to kill enemies and temper their physical bodies, which is actually harmful to their health and their very essence!

Many powerful cultivators, including those at the Golden Core and even Nascent Soul stages, told him that body cultivation was difficult, and with the depletion of the body’s essence, condensing the core was extremely challenging!

Therefore, this Xuan Tian Blood Nourishing Technique was used by Fu Ning’an to recuperate Yu Xian.

However, Fu Ning’an did not know that Yu Xian was not practicing those trashy body cultivation techniques, but rather the true inheritance of an ancient great master, the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique!

This body-refining technique, while making the physical body incredibly powerful, does not involve stimulating or overdrawing one’s own essence to enhance the physical body!

On the contrary, the stronger one’s physical body becomes, the more self-contained it becomes, absorbing spiritual energy without ever letting it out!

Therefore, it not only does not damage the origin, but also makes the origin even stronger!

However, this method is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the terrible pain is like being in hell, which most people really cannot withstand.

Therefore, after looking at the Xuan Tian Blood Nourishing Technique, Yu Xian smiled and said, “I no longer need the Blood Nourishing Technique, but I still have to accept the favor from the Fifth Elder.”

A mere Foundation Establishment ant dares to claim to have received a favor from a mid-Nascent Soul stage expert. If others heard this, they would surely laugh their heads off!

What does “receiving affection” mean? “Receiving affection” is something only peers should say.

As for you, you should be extremely grateful!

Yu Xian spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Even though the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator, someone he currently had to look up to, he believed deep down that they were equals.

Even if there is inequality now, there will be equality sooner or later.

Similarly, even though he is now a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he treats Qi Condensation disciples and even mortals equally.

Yu Xian would never put on airs in front of any Qi Condensation cultivator without a reason.

He is who he is, regardless of his cultivation level or level of attainment; he has never changed.

“Mysterious Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique”.

After putting everything else away, Yu Xian looked at the scroll of the Profound Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique, raised his hand, and opened it to read it.

As he looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

The Mysterious Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique—is this spell a bit too powerful?

Is this a spell that a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him is qualified to learn?

Furthermore, how could a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him possibly unleash such a powerful spell?

Now, recalling the way Fu Ning’an looked at him in the martial arts hall a few days ago, it seemed to carry a hint of amusement.

The Xuantian Sect’s Xuantian Secret Manual contains one of the spells, a true secret technique that cannot be learned without numerous direct disciples or by purchasing it with a huge amount of contribution points!

Mysterious Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique!

This method, when combined with the Xuan Tian Secret Manual, is extremely powerful. Even without the Xuan Tian Secret Manual to activate it, its killing power is still considerable!

Because this spell actually has different levels!

Aside from the Three Treasures Divine Thunder Technique, this was the second time Yu Xian had seen a spell that divided into different realms!

It seems that the founding ancestor of the Xuantian Sect was no less powerful than Zhang Sanbao.

Yu Xian slowly exhaled, put away the scroll, and muttered to himself, “Fifth Elder, I accept your kindness! Today I will begin learning the Profound Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique and dedicate myself to cultivation for the next two or three years. I will master all the spells and thoroughly solidify my Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.”

Everything was completely prepared, and everything that needed to be tidied up and organized was done.

Yu Xian needs to learn the new spells: Blood Crystal, Blood Burning Technique, and Mysterious Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique. It will take a lot of time to learn and master them.

The newly acquired magical treasures—the Hundred-Step Boots, the Spirit-Locking Ring, and the Cloud Dragon Sword—also require time to master.

In addition, there are many spiritual herbs that need to be refined into fourth-grade superior treasure pills to stabilize the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection realm.

This so-called two or three years of leisure is actually not leisurely at all.

With slow, deep breathing, Yu Xian formed a hand seal, and a pale purple light slowly appeared in his palm, transforming into a crescent-shaped stream of spiritual energy, as thin as a hair and less than an inch long.

Xuan Tian Spirit Slaying Technique, begin cultivation!

…

Time flies, and years are endless.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Nothing major happened within the Haotian Sect throughout the year.

But with inside information leaking out, almost everyone knows that something big is about to happen!

The sect needs to cultivate ten new Golden Core cultivators!

They will be selected from among the hundreds of Foundation Establishment disciples in the inner sect!

This is the Inner Sect Foundation Building Grand Competition!

It will be held in four years!

All Foundation Establishment disciples, or those in the late Foundation Establishment stage and those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, have only four years to prepare. During these four years, they must work hard to improve themselves and wait for the upcoming competition!

If we can break into the top ten, then the chance of condensing the core is definitely there!

Rumor has it that the four holy sons of the sect will not participate!

There are ten spots, and there are absolutely no pre-selected spots!

Of all the inner disciples of the Haotian Sect who have established their foundation, only those in the early stages of foundation establishment who have no other choice, lack the courage, or do not want to participate.

A large number of disciples at the mid-stage, late-stage, and peak stages of Foundation Establishment are all desperately cultivating and becoming stronger in preparation for the grand competition four years from now!

“rise!”

With a low shout, Yu Xian raised one hand, and a purple crescent moon appeared in his palm. It was three feet long and five inches wide, its light shimmering and its spiritual energy overwhelming!

After a full year, Yu Xian finally comprehended the second level of the Profound Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique, the Moon Slaying Realm.

As for the third level of Sun Slaying, it remains a long way off, and it will take several years, even more than a decade, to comprehend it.

“Just comprehending this method took a year; cultivation is truly a waste of time…”

It’s hard to judge the exact power of the Xuan Tian Spirit Slaying Technique, but it’s definitely no less powerful than the Fusion Thunder Technique, and it might even be stronger than the Great Five Elements Hand Seal.

“Just using this technique consumed one-fifth of my spiritual energy; it’s truly domineering…”

Yu Xian slightly flipped his hand, dissipating his spiritual energy, exhaled, and then raised his hand again to form a hand seal.

The next moment, a faint aura of blood emanated from his body.

Blood-suppressing therapy.

The circulation of blood is primarily based on essence blood, supplemented by ordinary blood, and it allows for the application of secret blood techniques.

After cultivating for twenty-three days, Yu Xian suddenly raised his hand and said slowly, “Blood Linglong.”

Suddenly, his blood and qi surged, and two drops of essence blood and dozens of drops of ordinary blood reversed course and gathered on his index finger, turning into a blood gem-like point of light!

“Hmm, it’s alright…”

With a muttered word to himself, Yu Xian dispersed his spiritual power, flicked his hand, and the blood-red gem-like point of light flew out, transforming into a drop of crystal-clear essence blood, which burned up halfway.

The Blood Crystal spell is not difficult to master; all you need is essence blood. The more essence blood you have, the more powerful the spell.

Therefore, the difficulty lies in how to condense more essence and blood.

This method, if it injures the enemy by a thousand, will also harm oneself by three hundred.

Yu Xian exhaled, but did not dispel the Blood Suppression Technique. He simply raised his hand and the Blood Burning Technique scroll fell into his palm.

Upon closer inspection, Yu Xian put away the scroll after a moment, but did not use it.

This spell is really difficult to cast; it would be a huge waste to cast it just for practice.

Burning blood, burning blood, naturally means burning essence blood!

There are many ways to burn essence and blood in body cultivation, the simplest of which is to forcefully activate it without using any magic.

This can temporarily grant a powerful physical body, with a surge in strength, speed, and defense, but the backlash is also immense; a single burning attack might cripple you.

Blood Burning under the guidance of magic is much safer; it all depends on the strength of the magic.

The Blood Burning Technique is considered a mid-to-high-level blood-burning technique for becoming stronger.

Under the control of the Blood Suppression Technique, and driven by this technique, one drop of essence blood, ten drops of ordinary blood, or even a hundred drops of essence blood, or half of the body’s ordinary blood can be burned!

The power and speed it gains will increase exponentially, making it extremely powerful!

Looking back now, I realize that my victory in killing that evil cultivator was due to the element of surprise and speed. Otherwise, if he had unleashed the Blood Burning Technique, the outcome would have been truly unpredictable!

Now that Yu Xian has obtained the Blood Burning Technique, combined with the Great Pill Body Refining Technique, it is quite a powerful trump card. If used secretly and suddenly, an ordinary cultivator would probably be killed with a single punch before they could even react!

As for giving it a try?

Having already learned it, there was no need to try it. Yu Xian also didn’t have time to waste his life essence, just to give it a try.

After dispelling the Blood Suppression Technique, Yu Xian slowly lost his blood and qi. He practiced breathing exercises for a while, then raised his hand and made a move.

A pill furnace suddenly flew out and landed in front of him.

More than a year has passed since I began practicing magic; now I must seize the time to refine pills.

After refining the pills he needed, consuming them and cultivating until his Foundation Establishment cultivation was completely stable, he would then venture into the deep mountains and forests to cultivate the Thunder Fusion Method, the Great Five Elements Hand Seal, the Mirror Image Shadow Body Technique, the Spirit Body Step, the Thousand Leaves Technique, and his own innate spell, the Vine Great Technique.

There’s just too much to do!

“Cultivators may seem carefree and leisurely, but in reality, they are never idle for a moment…”

Yu Xian muttered to himself, smiled calmly, and then waved his hand again, sending out all sorts of spiritual herbs and demon cores!

Preparing to refine elixirs.
