Chapter 576 - 528: The Seventh Blood Exchange
Chapter 576: Chapter 528: The Seventh Blood Exchange
[Qi and Blood Value: 8350 → 8400]
...
Lin Qi let out a breath. He was consuming Level 9 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood now, and this was after a full day of intense fighting.
Even so, his Qi and Blood Value had only increased by 50.
He had a feeling that once he completed the seventh Blood Exchange, the next two would be extremely difficult.
Still, his progress was already fast enough; there was no need to be greedy.
Thinking this, he took the Tiger Slaying Spear from the wall and began to swing it.
He still needed to deepen his understanding of the Killing Technique he had just comprehended today.
...
「November 18th.」
The second day since the Level 10 Calamity Beast descended upon Celestial Base in Sichuan Province.
The news continued to report on the battlefield situation, revealing that more Martial Artists had fallen.
At the same time, they began to mourn the fallen Ninth Realm Martial Artist, Panyue King, and started broadcasting stories from his life.
Meanwhile, Celestial Base was still dealing with the remaining Disaster Beast Tide.
The Overlord had already returned to Black Dragon Base, bringing the Sword Emperor and the North River Sword King with him.
Compared to Celestial Base, Black Dragon Base was in greater need of powerful experts to guard it.
It started to snow in North River Province!
The entire base and battlefield, as far as the eye could see, was a vast, white snowscape, and the air temperature was steadily dropping.
Transporting the Calamity Beasts became more difficult, but the cold also helped ensure that the Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood wouldn’t spoil.
「In Room 206’s private Martial Arts Room.」
"Lin Qi! Little Junior Brother, hurry and look at the exchange list!"
"The Awakening Potion actually appeared!"
Lin Qi put away his long spear and was drinking an energy drink. He had just finished his cultivation when his Eldest Senior Brother, Liang Tai, called him.
On the projected green screen, Liang Tai looked exceptionally excited.
Lin Qi grew curious as well. He opened the exchange list and found that it had changed; the blood of the Celestial Calamity Flame Dragon, which had been in first place, had dropped to second.
First place had been replaced by a potion.
[Item: Awakening Potion]
[Effect: A potion made using Awakening Fruit as a primary ingredient. Increases an Ordinary Martial Artist’s probability of awakening a Special Ability. Awakening probability: 5%]
[Merit Points: 200,000]
...
Lin Qi was astonished when he saw it.
’So there really is an Awakening Potion.’
Awakening Fruit could increase the probability of awakening, but it was so rare that you might not even find one in a whole year.
But now things were different—a potion had appeared.
’The appearance of a "potion" means it can be mass-produced.’
Liang Tai said excitedly,
"Little Junior Brother, did you know? The Awakening Potion doesn’t have the ’sold out’ tag behind it. This means the quantity is even greater than we imagined."
"Maybe our Xia Country will see the birth of a huge number of SS-level geniuses!"
Then, Liang Tai continued with an excited expression,
"Little Junior Brother, you know, me, Wang Zixuan, and Junior Brother Li Qing—we all have a chance to awaken."
"As long as we can awaken, it’s worth any amount of money. I’ve already bought it!"
Lin Qi finally understood why Liang Tai was so excited.
His original potential was capped at the Seventh Realm, but if he awakened, his Talent would transform. He would become an SS-level genius, and his potential would rise to that of an Eighth Realm Martial Artist.
It was the same for Senior Sister Wang Zixuan and Senior Brother Li Qing.
He could already imagine the storm this would stir up throughout Xia Country—no, throughout the entire Blue Star.
In the future, the number of High Realm Martial Artists in Xia Country would surge explosively.
This was a good thing for the entire Blue Star.
Lin Qi was also happy for Xia Country. Lately, it had been nothing but bad news; finally, there was something good.
「A moment later.」
At the door to Room 206, the gate slid open silently. Lin Qi accepted three metal boxes from a delivery guy.
At the same time, he had the boxes of Level 9 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood behind him moved into the freezer.
"Little Chan, cook 1,000 kilograms of flesh and blood!"
"Yes, Master!"
Lin Qi gave the command after the staff left.
The resource potions he had bought had all arrived.
Lin Qi took the metal boxes back to his Martial Arts Room and opened them one by one, revealing the various potions inside:
Blood Spirit Potions, a Top-Grade Harmonizing Potion, and Top-Grade Soul Water.
Lin Qi put the Top-Grade Harmonizing Potion and Top-Grade Soul Water away, leaving only the two bottles of Blood Spirit Potion.
Lin Qi sat down cross-legged. Inside the Martial Arts Room, the energy drinks were already prepared.
He could now begin his seventh Blood Exchange.
Tomorrow was the day of his arranged duel with Gu Jian.
According to the rules of the duel, if a Disaster Beast Tide didn’t break out on that day, the duel would proceed as scheduled.
If there was a Disaster Beast Tide, it would be automatically postponed for two days.
GULP~
Lin Qi opened the Blood Spirit Potions and drank both bottles in one go.
He had consumed too many bottles already, so the effect had weakened. He could only rely on quantity now.
HUFF... HUFF...
Lin Qi took deep breaths, constantly adjusting his rhythm. His aura shifted, and his body began to heat up.
In just a moment, his face was flushed red, and the temperature in the Martial Arts Room was rising rapidly.
With his eyes shut tight, Lin Qi began to circulate the Golden Emperor’s Secret Manual.
He performed the cultivation of its Blood Exchange Chapter, his Spiritual Power delving deep into his body as he pushed the Mastering Technique of Ten Thousand Rivers Stream to its absolute limit.
He mobilized the blood in his body, making it surge and flush through him, causing his body to tremble.
HUMMM!!
A vibration started in his mouth, like the thunderous roar of a tiger or leopard, and his heart beat with powerful thuds.
Blood was transported to every part of his body.
The Blood Spirit Potion began to take effect. His physical body started to transform as his blood washed away impurities.
In the high heat, Lin Qi’s body began to sweat automatically, and then it was like a broken faucet.
He uncontrollably expelled his body’s fluids. Blood, also a liquid, was expelled along with them.
The seventh Blood Exchange had officially begun!
Lin Qi looked at the sweat he was expelling. At first, it only had a sour stench, but soon the distinct smell of blood filled the air, a scent like rust.
It was also accompanied by a foul, fishy odor.
However, the smell was much fainter than before.
A thick layer of bloody grime covered his body. Lin Qi could clearly feel that as the Blood Exchange continued,
the amount of blood in his body was decreasing. Without the impurities, his physical body was also constantly transforming.
Wisps of Golden Light emerged from every part of his body, and profound patterns unknowingly spread to every corner of his being.
The human body is extremely complex, like a treasure trove.
It holds too many secrets. Even though Lin Qi possessed the X-ray Vision ability and could see every organ in his body,
that was only the surface. As his body transformed, it was heading down an extraordinary path.
He even saw a vast number of patterns. Researchers across the entire Blue Star had studied these patterns, but they had never made any headway.
They only knew that it was the secret to the Extraordinary, the source of life’s power and evolution!
Lin Qi felt a wave of dizziness and began to frantically drink the energy drinks to rehydrate.
A tingling numbness spread through his bones. His marrow, in particular, began to heat up. As the old blood was expelled, it produced new blood that flowed throughout his entire body.
He had already gone through this entire process many times.
With each Blood Exchange, his body was constantly transforming!
