Chapter 430: Devouring Blood Once Again
Her sapphire-blue eyes fixated on the compass in Su Jingzhen’s hand, revealing a hint of longing in her expression.
“Yes, he came specifically for me. The Heavenly Dragon Clan… I thought it would be a long time before you encountered them, but they’ve come seeking you so soon.”
Hearing Bai Suzhen’s words, Su Jingzhen’s confusion deepened.
“Suzhen, do you have a connection with them?” he couldn’t help but ask.
A flicker of memory seemed to surface in Bai Suzhen’s beautiful eyes.
“In a way, yes. The person who severely injured me last time by splitting me in two, had some ties to the Heavenly Dragon Clan.
That kid was only in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. The reason he was able to track me down was because he discovered some clues from the past.
His plan was simple: revive me and then make me his battle beast. But he underestimated the situation and paid for it with his life. He deserved it.”Before Su Jingzhen could respond, Bai Suzhen continued, “However, the Heavenly Dragon Clan possesses something I need.”
Her sapphire eyes locked onto Su Jingzhen’s, “That previous fool may have been naive, but he had talent and was likely an important figure within the Heavenly Dragon Clan.
Now that you’ve killed him, it’s likely they’ll hold a grudge.
On the other hand, this might give us a reason to collaborate—a long-term collaboration. Keep that Heavenly Mystery Compass safe. It will be useful in the future.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen asked a question he had long wanted to ask.
“Suzhen, what exactly is your origin? Given our current relationship, I think I deserve to know.”
A flash of white light enveloped Bai Suzhen again, and she returned to her form as a belt around Su Jingzhen’s waist.
However, her voice echoed once more, “Rather than prying into such trivial matters, you’d be better off practicing. Perhaps when the ten-day deadline arrives, you won’t lose so miserably.”
Su Jingzhen sighed in mild exasperation but didn’t press further. Instead, he heeded Bai Suzhen’s advice and began practicing the Python Scales Power in the room.
This time, he wasn’t merely going through the motions. With Bai Suzhen’s support, he found himself completely engrossed, training until dawn.
Initially, Su Jingzhen had only intended to put on a show for Bai Suzhen.
In this way, when he directly uses points to open the secret repository and reach the Flesh Body Nascent Embroy Realm after 9 days, Bai Suzhen will not be too surprised.
However, while he was practicing, he unexpectedly found an opportunity for a breakthrough.
When he finally finished his session, a sudden surge of blood energy coursed through his body.
The seven Secret Repositories within him underwent a significant transformation.
His cultivation naturally advanced from the eighth stage of the Flesh Body Golden Embryo to the ninth stage.
[Body Refinement Cultivation: Seven Secret Repositories Opened!
Flesh Body Level: Flesh Body Golden Embryo (Ninth Layer)
Next Secret Repository to Unlock: Yin Jiao Point (0/1000)]
[Remaining Points Available: 1,115]
Su Jingzhen was thrilled and quickly summoned the Body Refinement Cultivation submenu to confirm his progress.
“This environment is universally recognized as favoring qi refinement. Both body refinement and spirit refinement face considerable restrictions, yet it seems that these restrictions apply to everyone except you.”
At this moment, Bai Suzhen’s voice echoed in Su Jingzhen’s ears once more, tinged with surprise.
She knew well that it hadn’t been long since Su Jingzhen had reached the eighth stage of the Flesh Body Golden Embryo. Yet, after just a few days of casual practice, he had broken through to the ninth layer.
This rapid advancement was beyond what others could achieve even after months or years of hard work.
If this isn’t a Heaven-sent body cultivator, then what is?
While Bai Suzhen was shocked, Su Jingzhen merely chuckled.
“Just lucky, that’s all. But at least now you know I haven’t been wasting my time these past days.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen pushed open the door and stepped out.
After taking a quick shower, he returned to the stone bed, intending to take a short nap.
When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.
[Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 9, Luo Yuebai: 15, Dantai Xuening: 6]
[Remaining Points Available: 1,164]
The fixed points arrived as expected.
He now had more than enough points for the Yin Jiao Point.
Feeling it was time to strengthen himself further, Su Jingzhen took out the black jade bottle containing the two drops of North Sea Dragon Blood.
“Suzhen, perhaps with these two drops of North Sea Dragon blood, I could directly breakthrough to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.
Then you would be defeated.
And don’t forget, if I win, you have to agree to one of my requests.”
Su Jingzhen’s tone was rather serious when he said this.
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen once again transformed into her white python form.
Her azure eyes were filled with excitement.
“I’d rather lose, and hope you can reach the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage sooner.
But you only just broke through to the ninth layer of the Flesh Body Golden Embryo yesterday, and today you want to forcefully use the North Sea Dragon blood to break through.
Are you truly not worried about your foundation?”
Bai Suzhen might not have even realized it herself, but there was a hint of concern in her voice.
Su Jingzhen smiled, “Every time I break through, my foundation is incredibly solid, leaving no flaws.
This time, the blood of the North Sea dragon may have had a big impact on my body. Suzhen, you said that you could assist me when I swallowed it and help me swallow the violent intent. “
Hearing Su Jingzhen’s confident reply, Bai Suzhen excitedly said, “Since you’re so confident, I’m naturally ready at any time.
Is it now?”
“Now!”
Su Jingzhen’s tone was firm.
He had to admit that the black-clothed young man from the Heavenly Dragon race whom he met in the canyon yesterday had already brought him considerable pressure.
He had previously thought about taking things slow, hiding his strength as much as possible.
But now it seemed he had to quickly improve his strength.
Even with the system by his side, this world was still too dangerous.
Before he grew stronger, there were too many people who could easily take his life.
As Su Jingzhen’s words fell, he proactively removed his clothes.
Revealing his well-proportioned and muscular physique.
A flash of white light erupted, and Bai Suzhen transformed back into a waist belt, wrapping around his waist.
Su Jingzhen immediately felt a strange and cool sensation spreading throughout his body.
Without hesitation, he then poured a drop of North Sea Dragon blood from the jade bottle.
The crimson blood contained immense power.
Within it raged violent demonic energy.
The moment this drop of blood appeared in the room, Su Jingzhen felt as if he heard a dragon’s roar echoing through the air.
The room was bathed in a crimson glow.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jingzhen swallowed it without hesitation.
The dragon blood instantly transformed into a vast and violent energy, spreading throughout Su Jingzhen’s limbs and bones.
His skin immediately burst forth with countless tiny blood beads.
His brows furrowed instantly.
Pain contorted his face.
“So strong?”
Bai Suzhen couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, sensing the state of Su Jingzhen’s body.
Immediately, her strange and gentle power increased its input into Su Jingzhen’s body.
At the same time, the violent force wreaking havoc within him slowly gathered towards his waist.
Which was absorbed by Bai Suzhen.
Even though Su Jingzhen hadn’t opened the Yin Jiao acupoint, and was relying on the blood qi of his body as a counterforce, a balance was achieved within Su Jingzhen’s body.
The powerful blood qi contained within the North Sea Dragon blood continued to nourish and strengthen his flesh,
But it no longer caused damage to his meridians.
As Bai Suzhen exerted her power, the pain Su Jingzhen felt decreased drastically.
His heart was filled with excitement.
This was it! This was perfect!
