Chapter 800 - 81: The Relationship Between Qi Blood and the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique
Chapter 800: Chapter 81: The Relationship Between Qi Blood and the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique
One day!
Two days!
Three days!
In the bedroom.
Rich and intense Qi Blood energy burst forth from Lin Chen’s pores, filling the entire room.
In three days, Lin Chen had already consumed thirty Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits, and the richness of the Qi Blood in his body had reached a terrifying level.
Crack!
The sound of a meridian expanding suddenly resounded, and the acupoints throughout Lin Chen’s body, along with his skeleton, crackled at this moment.
At this moment, a faint hum emanated from Lin Chen’s internal organs!
The surging Qi Blood Power seemed to have broken through some invisible shackle, flowing more smoothly and vigorously within his body.
[Qi Blood: Level Five]
Seeing the Qi Blood level displayed on the panel, Lin Chen opened his eyes, able to feel the changes in his body. The increase in Qi Blood not only made his own blood energy more intense, but also allowed the Innate Power to flow more smoothly throughout his body, and even the Heart of Canglan was now beating more strongly than before, harboring a life force at its peak.
Qi Blood is not only the foundation of a Martial Artist but also the foundation of a person.
At this moment, when [Qi Blood] reached the same level as Divine Soul, Lin Chen could feel the power within him continuously growing.
"Thirty Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits, worth it."
Although it cost him thirty Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits to raise his Qi Blood from level four to level five, Lin Chen did not feel any regret.
Perhaps if he’d been more frugal and relied on the growth of his own Qi Blood, just over twenty Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits could have broken his Qi Blood to level five, but it would surely have delayed the timing by a year or even more.
And now with the Qi Blood keeping pace, whether to continue cultivating the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique or techniques related to the Divine Soul, there will be no worries.
"Can it rise even more?"
Lin Chen lightly asked himself, and as he asked this question, [Racing Against Time] surfaced once again.
[In the current situation, you can still choose to continue enhancing Qi Blood!]
"It can still increase?"
Upon seeing the words on the panel, Lin Chen did not rush to continue, but started contemplating.
By now, he had already figured out the function of [Racing Against Time].
Racing Against Time would provide a suitable path for himself in cultivation techniques, and also offer guidance on which part of his cultivation needed improvement.
Just like before he started consuming the Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits, his Qi Blood was evidently lower than his Divine Soul, so [Racing Against Time] provided a hint that he needed to quickly enhance his Qi Blood.
Now [Racing Against Time] suggested he could further enhance his Qi Blood, which meant that he could let his Qi Blood surpass his Divine Soul, but the cost would be the consumption of more Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits.
"If the sect hadn’t gone to war with the Eight Desolates Sect, I could have taken it slowly, but now that the two sects are at war, swiftly enhancing my strength is the only way, and the waste of resources is justified."
Soon, Lin Chen made the decision to continue increasing his Qi Blood.
Closing his eyes again, Lin Chen once more began to swallow and refine the Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits.
...
...
Thousand Mechanism Tavern.
"Shopkeeper, the gentleman in room 7 hasn’t come out for five days. He only gave five hundred Flame Coins, according to the rules..."
"Foolish!"
The shopkeeper of the Thousand Mechanism Tavern scolded the waiter: "You have no sense of insight. It’s obvious that this gentleman, staying in a private courtyard, does not wish to be disturbed during his cultivation. I estimate that this gentleman didn’t expect his cultivation to take so long, but if we disturb this gentleman’s cultivation now, can you bear the consequences?"
The Thousand Mechanism Tavern is backed by the Thousand Mechanism Sect, that’s correct, but disturbing an Innate Powerhouse in seclusion is no small matter.
Moreover, this gentleman is young, yet already in the Innate Realm, and he dares to stay at the Thousand Mechanism Tavern to break through. Surely he comes from a super sect, and such a powerhouse is not to be easily offended.
Besides, who dares to owe the Thousand Mechanism Sect money?
This gentleman, daring to enter seclusion in the Thousand Mechanism Tavern, surely carries enough Flame Coins, and will make up the difference after finishing his cultivation.
...
...
Seven days later.
The little beast that had been sleeping soundly on the bed had, at some unknown time, rolled to the edge of the bed. Its body, previously curled up, was now fully stretched out, lying on its back, exposing the furry belly.
In the next moment, the little beast rolled over and fell directly off the bed.
"Woof!"
The little beast on the ground opened its sleepy eyes, looking around curiously. Its eyes gleamed with curiosity.
Evidently, the little beast had never seen a human dwelling before.
It wasn’t until it saw Lin Chen meditating on the ground that the little beast suddenly remembered everything, baring its teeth immediately, standing upright, waving its front limbs, but with a body less than a foot tall, it posed no threat.
The little beast gestured with its front paws for a moment but did not dare come close to Lin Chen. When it noticed the Qi Blood seeping from Lin Chen’s pores, it sniffed, its beady eyes lighting up, rolling its body to three feet in front of Lin Chen, not daring to go any nearer.
The little beast mimicked Lin Chen’s posture, cross-legged on the ground, and as it inhaled, the rich Qi Blood spilling from Lin Chen’s pores flowed into its nostrils.
With just a whiff, the little beast’s eyes brightened, as if tasting a delicacy for the first time, even smacking its lips.
"This little beast is truly peculiar, absorbing Qi Blood in such a way."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lin Chen may not have opened his eyes, but he sensed every action of the little beast through his Divine Soul Perception. From the moment the little beast fell off the bed and woke up, he remained fully alert, ready to strike if the little beast dared to show any murderous intent towards him.
Unexpectedly, the small beast only stood aside for a long time, baring its teeth and claws, not daring to approach Lin Chen.
As for the beast absorbing the qi blood seeping from his pores, Lin Chen didn’t mind. As he absorbed more and more Dragon Blood Bodhi, his body was already filled to the brim with qi blood. The excess qi blood couldn’t be reabsorbed in time and would dissipate even if not absorbed by the beast.
After confirming that the beast posed no danger to him, Lin Chen continued absorbing the energy of the Dragon Blood Bodhi.
Up until now, he had swallowed ninety Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits.
If this number were to spread, even the celestial pride of those super sects would be envious.
A Dragon Blood Bodhi is incredibly valuable, and even celestial pride disciples of super sects couldn’t possibly consume so many Dragon Blood Bodhi.
One person and one beast silently absorbed the qi blood.
Late at night, the moonlight filtered through the window lattice, silently casting on Lin Chen’s rock-solid figure and on the small beast beside him.
At this moment, the small beast was less than half a foot away from Lin Chen.
...
The eighth day!
Feeling the qi blood surging like a torrent within himself and unable to absorb any more Dragon Blood Bodhi energy, Lin Chen finally stopped.
His qi blood had reached its current limit.
Bang!
At the moment when Lin Chen stopped circulating the Azure Wave Technique, the qi blood around him surged like a flood, causing the wooden planks of the room to crackle and the small beast closest to him to be pushed towards the wall by the qi blood aura instinctively released from Lin Chen’s body.
"Awwooo!"
The small beast, hitting the wall, opened its eyes with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Little guy, I’m done cultivating, it wasn’t intentional."
Lin Chen spread his hands, giving the small beast an apologetic look. This external burst of qi blood wasn’t intentional; it was the abrupt increase of qi blood causing it to overflow from his body automatically.
Hearing Lin Chen’s explanation, the small beast rolled its eyes a few times, and the dissatisfaction in its eyes finally faded away.
"Panel"
Lin Chen didn’t pay any more attention to the small beast, whispering in his heart.
[Host: Lin Chen]
[Realm: Innate Second Realm]
[Innate Technique: Azure Wave Technique] (Undamaged Level 5)
[Qi Blood: Level 6]
[Divine Soul: Level 5]
[Will: Level 5]
[Speed: Level 5]
[Defense: Level 5]
[Comprehension: Level 5]
Seeing the changes on the panel, a gleam flashed in Lin Chen’s eyes.
The qi blood reaching Level 6 was within his expectations, but he didn’t expect his speed and defense to have upgraded too.
"Could it be that qi blood also affects these two values?"
Lin Chen speculated, opening the door, and swiftly transformed into a rainbow, darting through the courtyard.
After three breaths, Lin Chen’s figure halted in the center of the courtyard, flames appearing on his body, and he struck out with his right palm.
Bang!
The rockery in the courtyard collapsed into powder.
"So that’s it."
Seeing his strike, a look of sudden realization appeared on Lin Chen’s face.
He now somewhat understood why the panel advised that speed and defense should not surpass qi blood by more than three levels.
The power of his Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique was influenced by qi blood. As qi blood increased, the power of the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique also enhanced. Other cultivation techniques likely functioned similarly, although they did not exhibit such a marked enhancement as the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique.
"Now that my qi blood surpasses the divine soul, the next step should be focused on enhancing the divine soul. After bringing my parents to the Canglan Domain, off to the Thousand Mechanism Sect I go."
The Thousand Mechanism Sect, as the Flame Dynasty’s expert in divine soul cultivation, is naturally a place Lin Chen intends to visit.
Not to mention, his Martial Soul Map, which evolved from his divine soul—The bright moon rises over the sea—may find answers only in the Thousand Mechanism Sect within the Flame Dynasty.
When reporting his cultivation status to the Supreme Elder, he specifically mentioned that his divine soul absorbed much martial path will, yet the Supreme Elder didn’t clarify it, indicating even the Supreme Elder was unaware of the Martial Soul Map’s existence.
The fact that his divine soul birthed both a martial soul and The bright moon rises over the sea Martial Soul Map might be unique to him. The path of future cultivation can only be explored by himself.
"Awoo."
As Lin Chen contemplated this, a sound emerged from inside the room, and turning, he noticed the small beast looking anxiously at him.
What kind of look is that?
Afraid I might run away?
Just as Lin Chen prepared to communicate with the small beast, he frowned, pulling out the Martial Arts Seal from his chest.
Sima Kong challenged him at Martial Arts Mountain.
