Chapter 173: Swallowing the Ice Spirit Essence Blood

"He's an old man! How could I possibly like him!"

Cang Xingling nearly bristled at these words.

"An old man?" Cang Xingyan was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Oh, you mean that Hehuan Young Master who gave you the Soul Returning Pill earlier, right?"

"Yes," Cang Xingling nodded.

"If it's him, I can help with this favor. I heard he was struck into an old man because he failed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation. Now that he has broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, I imagine he should have become young again."

"It's just..." Cang Xingyan looked troubled: "It took him a thousand years to cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage; my master probably won't look favorably upon his Spirit Root."

"Let's just send him over first and see. Whether he passes or not depends on him; at least we've done what we could," Cang Xingling shrugged.

"Why does he want to become an Inner Sect Disciple? Does he want to join Tianwai Island?"

Cang Xingyan asked.

"Sigh," Cang Xingling sighed, then told Cang Xingyan about the situation with the Lingerie-Sect.

After hearing this, Cang Xingyan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "It's impossible to pass the competition for the top spot at the initial Spirit Transformation Stage. And even if we take a step back and say he wins the top spot and asks the Island Master not to attack the Lingerie-Sect... this... what is the point of giving him a fake identity? The Island Master could still kick him out for faking his identity and reject his request."

"But this is the last resort. What, are we supposed to introduce a Supreme to him? Or should our Canghe Dynasty help the Lingerie-Sect for the sake of one Soul Returning Pill? And then get wiped out?"

Cang Xingling said helplessly.

"Fine, then notify him and tell him to come to Tianwai Island within three days."

Cang Xingyan nodded.

"Alright."

Cang Xingling also nodded, then stood up: "When are we leaving?"

"Once you finish preparing his fake identity, we will set off for Tianwai Island," Cang Xingyan said.

"Mm-hmm."

Cang Xingling nodded, then walked away quickly.

As she walked, she used the Communication Jade Tube to contact Jiang Xun.

She told Jiang Xun everything Cang Xingyan had said, then asked: "Have you really become young again?"

"Yes," Jiang Xun nodded, his mood not very high because of the Spirit Root issue.

He had a Mixed Spiritual Root, and Cang Xingyan's master would definitely not look favorably upon it.

If he wanted to change his Spirit Root, Jiang Xun only knew of one place...

The Tianwu Sect.

There was only one person who could help him...

Tu Nan.

Sigh.

Thinking of Tu Nan, Jiang Xun sighed again; how could he have the nerve to ask!

"That's great, I'm quite curious to see what you look like now that you're young. Then it's settled, see you at Tianwai Island in three days. I'll wait for you by the Teleportation Array," Cang Xingling said.

"Alright, I understand," Jiang Xun nodded, and then the two cut off the connection.

"If you want to reshape your Spirit Root, I actually have another way," just as Jiang Xun was feeling troubled, Si Yuyan spoke up.

"What way?" Jiang Xun asked immediately.

"Remember? You took several bottles of essence blood from my Storage Ring: Fire God Essence Blood, Cloud Saint Essence Blood, Myriad Ancestor Essence Blood, Ice Spirit Essence Blood, and Thunder God Essence Blood. If you can successfully swallow and fuse them, your Spirit Root will be completely cleansed and replaced by the Ancestral God Essence Blood."

"You should have said so earlier!" Jiang Xun's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Do you think it's simple? This can kill people," Si Yuyan said.

"I have so many Soul Returning Pills, do you think I'm afraid of death?" Jiang Xun laughed.

"This is different. The Ancestral God Essence Blood contains the power and will of the Ancestor God. To be precise, you won't just die; you will be possessed. Your body will be occupied by the Ancestor God, and your consciousness will be trapped forever. You could say you are immortal, or you could say you are eternally damned."

"You won't be able to die even if you want to, and you won't be able to live."

Jiang Xun was stunned after hearing this. If that was the case, it was indeed quite dangerous. No wonder Si Yuyan had never used this essence blood herself.

"Dare to try?" Si Yuyan smiled.

Jiang Xun was stunned after hearing this; if that were the case, then it really was quite dangerous, no wonder Si Yuyan had never used this Essence Blood herself.

"Are you sick? You might not even be able to handle one, let alone all of them. Do you want them to fight inside your body?" Si Yuyan scolded him upon hearing this: "If you really want to do this, just choose one."

"After the essence blood you choose is successfully swallowed, all the Spirit Roots in your body will be washed away, leaving only the one you swallowed, and its power will definitely be the strongest."

Jiang Xun fell silent, lowering his head and covering his mouth in deep thought.

This really could kill him; even Soul Returning Pills wouldn't be of any use. He really had to consider this carefully!

But if he returned to the Tianwu Sect now, he definitely wouldn't be able to get out. Even Tu Nan wouldn't have a second chance to send Jiang Xun away, and if he left again, he would definitely miss his meeting with Cang Xingling in three days.

Now he could only rely on himself.

Jiang Xun took the bottles of essence blood out of the System Space and placed them on the table, watching the red, white, green, blue, and purple light they emitted, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

He basically only had the choice of one bottle of essence blood now; he was just struggling with which one to pick.

As for fire, Jiang Xun wasn't considering it for the time being. He had the Purgatory Fire Bead, and he could still use fire techniques after his Spirit Root was washed away. Jiang Xun didn't know what Cloud Saint or Myriad Ancestor were, and since he was already feeling unsure, he didn't dare touch those two.

That left the Ice Spirit and the Thunder God.

By the same logic, Jiang Xun still had many Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans in his system, so he could set aside the Thunder God Essence Blood for now. That left only the Ice Spirit Essence Blood.

"Do it!" Jiang Xun grabbed the Ice Spirit Essence Blood from the table, opened the bottle, and gulped it down in one go.

By the same logic, Jiang Xun still had many Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans in his system, so he could temporarily disregard this Thunder God Essence Blood, which left only the Ice Spirit Essence Blood.

Si Yuyan shouted in a hurry. She didn't know what Jiang Xun had been thinking, and she certainly didn't expect him to choose the most dangerous one, let alone that this kid would just drink it!

This was supposed to be absorbed using Spirit Power! What would happen if he just drank it?

Si Yuyan hurriedly shouted; she did not know what Jiang Xun had been thinking just now, nor did she expect that Jiang Xun would choose the most dangerous one, and even less did she expect that this kid would drink it directly!

This is supposed to be absorbed using Spirit Power! How could it be okay to drink it?

"What's wrong?" Hearing Si Yuyan's shout, Jiang Xun gulped and then asked.

The next moment, he felt his whole body tremble, his entire body chilled to the extreme, and he fell painfully from the rocking chair, kneeling on the ground with bloodshot pupils and a buzzing roar filling his ears.

Just a moment ago, his heart had been filled with the safety of the Lingerie-Sect, and knowing the danger of this essence blood, once he had chosen the Ice Spirit Essence Blood, he simply steeled his heart, emptied his mind, and decisively picked it up to drink.

He was afraid that if he hesitated for even a moment, he would give up this method of cleansing his Spirit Root.

"You could have at least discussed it with me! The Ice Spirit Essence Blood will freeze a person's body solid; you need to soak in extremely hot water and slowly absorb it bit by bit using Spirit Power. If you swallow it directly, your body won't be able to withstand it!" Si Yuyan shouted in Jiang Xun's consciousness.

But right now, Jiang Xun's entire head was dazed, and he couldn't hear a thing; he even felt his insides turning to ice, and he feared that in less than ten seconds, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture.

After sensing this change in his body, Jiang Xun directly picked up the Fire God Essence Blood on the table, opened the bottle, and swallowed it.

"Damn you!" Si Yuyan cursed loudly.
