Chapter 74: Blood Pool nurtures the nether depths; it blooms once every ten thousand years

That man finished speaking.

Shi Hao pondered for a moment.

Precious holy medicine, got it!

What is the purpose of this training expedition?

One, increase strength, increase strength, or still increase strength.

Two, acquire resources, acquire resources, and damn it, still acquire resources!

Precious holy medicine, just right to pocket; later we'll turn in to the sect together with the treasures we obtained outside that they can't use, to stock the sect's treasury.

Thanks, brother.

After Shi Hao bowed his fists in thanks, he turned and walked back.

How is it? Senior brother.

What's the situation inside?

Lin Bai and the others waiting not far away saw Senior Brother Shi Hao approach, then came forward to ask.

That person said, this place is the forbidden zone of the secret realm; a holy medicine is nurtured in the blood pool, a blood‑colored netherflower that matures once every ten thousand years.

Shi Hao briefly told the three of them what he had learned.

Blood‑colored netherflower?

I recall seeing it in a book from my clan before.

Blood pool nurtures the nether depths; it blooms once every ten thousand years.

This is a high‑grade holy medicine; it can nurture the soul, and it can also be combined with weeping blood grass, demon spider tear, and heaven soul pearl to refine pills. The resulting pill is the Great Return Soul Sacred Pill, a high‑grade sacred pill that can heal the soul.

Su Yaoyao thought of something and then began to speak at length.

She said the place looks somewhat familiar; she had seen a detailed description in a book she read before.

However, the other ingredients for refining the Great Return Soul Sacred Pill recorded later are unknown.

In other words, only this netherflower knows the exact location.

High‑grade holy medicine? What are we waiting for? Let's hurry in, otherwise someone might snatch our holy medicine.

Lin Bai said hurriedly.

From his tone, it seemed the holy medicine was already in their grasp.

Danger?

Fear?

Others fear, I am greedy.

Others have golden cores, I am supreme.

We cultivators, what is there to regret in a single battle?

Shi Hao and the four briefly discussed, all agreed, then resolutely walked into the cave.

Only leaving Black Emperor's little black dog, disheveled in the wind.

Hmm… outside probably isn't safe either; better to follow along.

It could sense that these few people are not ordinary, especially the two young men and the woman in fiery red clothing.

It could sense that these few young people were not ordinary, especially the two youths and the woman dressed in a fiery red robe.

Wait! They just said there was a holy medicine that nurtures the soul?

Hey, wait, Emperor! I, the Emperor, will protect you.

Black Emperor hurriedly pushed off with its four legs and gave chase.

Upon entering the forbidden zone cave, the first feeling was gloomy cold and damp; the boiling blood‑red mist continued to stream out from within.

Upon entering the forbidden land's cave, the first sensation was the cold and dampness; the boiling blood‑red mist continued to stream out from inside.

From deep in the cave, squeaking sounds occasionally came.

Shi Hao estimated it should be the demon bats that man mentioned.

He didn't know the strength of those demon bats, nor could he plan early.

They carefully felt their way in.

Behind them, Black Emperor kept close without letting up.

Damn, what kind of ghostly place is this?

If its cultivation were still intact, it would surely obliterate this ghostly place with a single palm.

It was both damp and cold; even its fur coat couldn't withstand it.

Wait a moment, there's something ahead.

Shi Hao called a halt to the group.

His Divine Sense in the Void‑Clearing Realm clearly sensed a group of unknown creatures approaching from ahead.

Lin Bai and the others immediately stopped their steps, cautiously staring ahead.

The atmosphere instantly grew solemn; several people held their breath, daring not to make a sound.

In an instant, the previously dark cave ahead suddenly brightened.

Only see the cave walls covered with countless demon bats, and many demon bats flew toward them from ahead.

They saw countless demon bats hanging on the cave walls, and many more demon bats flew toward them from ahead.

The four instantly entered combat mode.

Old rule, quick battle, quick decision!

After Shi Hao finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed forward.

Shi Hao finished speaking, then took the lead and rushed forward.

The Supreme Reincarnation Law operated at full power, surging spiritual energy frenziedly gathered, the released mighty aura making him seem like a war god.

One force breaks myriad methods; sweep away the vanguard!

He could exert his full strength relying only on his fists, without any treasure's aid.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Hiss! Squeak!"

He punched out punch after punch, countless demon bats were instantly killed.

The demon bats' hissing cries echoed through the cave.

The mighty aura of the Void Aperture Realm overturned many demon bats.

By now he was incomparable to before, having reached the Void Aperture Realm, his terrifying aura fully released.

The step from Nascent Soul to Void Aperture Realm is a hurdle; crossing it greatly increases strength, and one can open one's own exclusive Spirit Cave; the more Spirit Caves opened, the more spiritual energy stored.

The more spiritual energy, the longer you can endure in battle.

Thus the Spirit Cave is also where one's talent lies.

The more Spirit Caves you open, the stronger your talent.

Nine is the limit of Spirit Caves; Shi Hao happened to have opened exactly nine.

If this cave weren't strengthened by formations, he would have punched through it long ago!

The so-called: Qi Refining entry, Foundation Establishment forging path, Golden Core giving birth to core, Nascent Soul forging spirit, Void Aperture opening spirit, Spirit Caves uniting to reach Spirit Severing, Refining Spirit to Enter Truth, Shatter the Void, Transform Holy Source to step into Half-Saint, Draw Holy Source, instantly become a Saint.

If one wanted, just over a month ago I was still being chased by my family's guards; those guards were only at the Void Aperture Realm.

My good brother, I also have to thank you and my uncle's scheming; if not for you two, I wouldn't have had the chance to join the Qingyun Sect!

This is what they say: survive a great disaster, future blessings await!

Wait!

Shi Hao vented all his anger onto these blocking demon bats.

Each strike of the Supreme Reincarnation Fist goes all out; he has already crushed a large area of demon bats.

Lin Bai and the others beside him were also fighting happily.

"Haha, good, you demon beasts' scraps, come test my Qinglian Sword Technique"

"Qinglian Leads the Way!"

Lin Bai let out a loud shout; the first style of the Qinglian Sword Technique, Qinglian Asks the Way, was released.

A piercing sword qi sliced forth from the Qinglian Sword.

Sword qi crisscrossed, unstoppable!

Countless blue lotuses surged up from the ground, attacking those demon bats.
