Chapter 45: 【Demon Blood True Body, Burning Money Body Refining】 (Second update, seeking follow-up...)

After obtaining the "Demon Blood Body Refining Technique," Lu Chengtong immediately returned to the cave abode and seized the time to carry out the first stage of cultivation.

This body-refining technique is not profound; the content is nothing more than using spirit power guidance techniques and demon blood medicinal baths to increase physical fitness.

The 【Demon Blood True Body】 has only three levels of realm, combined with three types of medicinal bath formulas, corresponding to the Fetal Breath realm, Qi Refining realm, and Foundation Establishment realm levels respectively.

With three levels of perfection, the physical body strength is comparable to a top-grade Dharma artifact; it is impossible to break the defense with one strike unless one is at the Golden Core realm!

Lu Chengtong felt that he didn't need to practice to the third level of perfection; as long as he reached the middle stage of the third level, he could try to absorb the Golden Core Dao Fruit of the Huo Jiu Yao Wang.

In order to refine pills, he had many medicinal herbs in his hands, and the medicine required for the first level of cultivation was very ordinary.

After the medicinal soup was prepared, he first mastered the guidance technique, and then went to Huoyun Peak to purchase a bathtub specifically for medicinal baths.

Cultivators do not bathe.

After reaching the Qi Refining realm, one can use spirit Qi to clean oneself; ordinary Dharma robes have dust-avoidance effects, so naturally, one cannot use a bathtub anymore.

The only scenarios for use are secret medicine body refining or treatment.

The bathtub can automatically adjust the water temperature, condense water vapor, and detect spirit Qi concentration and the content of some common drugs.

Not many people use this kind of special Dharma artifact; it is only because the Ziyao Immortal Sect has a Jin Gang Peak specifically for body-refining disciples to practice, otherwise, one would have to go for private customization to get it.

Even so, its price is 20% to 30% more expensive than common types of Dharma artifacts.

But it is indeed worth the price.

Activate the bathtub, automatically gather water, use the spirit array to generate water; it is pure water, so there is no worry about any impurities.

Put in enough monster beast blood; this is the blood of a Qi Refining realm black bear.

Originally it was used to make talisman spirit ink; otherwise, he really didn't have other Qi Refining monster beast blood in his hands, and the lowest was also the monster beast blood of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

After the blood was mixed in, put in the medicinal soup, and it immediately turned purple-red, with a layer of flowing light, which is the embodiment of active spirit Qi.

Take off his clothes, sit in the bathtub, and start to operate the guidance technique.

The guidance technique was launched, directly causing the medicinal liquid to start boiling.

This was just the tempering of the first level.

Lu Chengtong was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator; after his physical body had been tempered by the promotion of his spirit cultivation strength, it was not something that a small cultivator who had just entered the Fetal Breath realm could compare to.

Therefore, the burning and numbness brought by the medicinal liquid had no effect on him, and he easily completed a practice.

The effect was very significant.

Because his physical fitness had already improved a lot, one practice brought him to the perfection of the first level of 【Demon Blood True Body】.

Feeling the surging Qi and blood, Lu Chengtong operated the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power; immediately, the Qi and blood were stable and perfectly fused.

The purple-black soup at this time turned into pitch black and also emitted a foul smell.

The bathtub cleaned automatically.

Fire roasting, wind blowing, water washing—a quarter of an hour later, the bathtub turned into clean pure water again.

Lu Chengtong also completed the medicinal soup needed for the second level of body refining, then put in three types of monster beast blood, sat in it, and started the second body refining.

This itself is a money-burning process.

The value of the soup medicine needed for the first level of cultivation is about one and a half spirit stones.

Don't think this is very cheap.

Ziyao Immortal Sect outer disciples get a subsidy of two spirit stones a month; this is just the first level, equivalent to the cultivation materials needed by Fetal Breath realm disciples.

Moreover, if it weren't for Lu Chengtong already being a Foundation Establishment cultivator and his physical fitness having been improved, it would be absolutely impossible to reach perfection in one go.

At least it would take seven or eight times, combined with boxing and kicking techniques to beat the body to stabilize the blood Qi, before it could be achieved.

Moreover, this does not count the value of monster beast blood.

The value of the soup medicine needed for the second level is about four spirit stones, which is not much more expensive.

But the materials needed are many, and the materials in Lu Chengtong's hands are only enough for one medicinal bath.

This time, it took two hours, and then he entered the second level of "Demon Blood True Body"; at this time, his physical fitness was already comparable to a low-grade Dharma artifact, and ordinary swords could not break his skin!

When refining the body at the first level, he didn't feel anything.

The medicinal soup used at this second level was obviously more violent, and the distracting thoughts in the blood were very annoying.

Lu Chengtong had the 【Soul-Stealing and Soul-Seizing】 supernatural power, directly seizing them and completely extinguishing them.

Change clothes, calm Qi and blood, strike a punch at will, spirit Qi vibrates.

Not bad!

Without using spirit Qi, just this punch was enough to shatter stone.

This was just entering the second level of the realm.

Demon blood body refining, although a bit rough, was just right for Lu Chengtong.

He went to buy some more medicinal herbs and prepared the medicinal soup.

Others still need to stabilize their Qi and blood through practicing boxing techniques after a medicinal bath, but he doesn't need to; he only needs to operate the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power once, and his whole body is smooth, and his Qi and blood are peaceful.

Therefore, as long as the materials are sufficient, he can continuously carry out medicinal bath cultivation.

In three days, his body-refining cultivation reached the perfection of the second level of Demon Blood True Body.

To impact the third level, he needed to use a more advanced medicinal bath.

The value of one set of soup medicine for the third level directly increased to twenty-three spirit stones; counting the demon blood, one medicinal bath cost at least twenty-six or twenty-seven spirit stones or more.

Ordinary disciples really can't afford this money.

Unless there is support from the sect or the family, one cannot continue to practice without a means of making money that exceeds ordinary people.

On the path of immortal cultivation, wealth, companion, law, and land—missing any one of them will not work.

Different people need different things.

The third level of Demon Blood True Body, the medicinal liquid cultivation process takes six hours at a time.

During this period, one needs to endure the pain and numbness coming from the body, which is very uncomfortable; if the will is not firm, one might not be able to persist.

Lu Chengtong's will is also considered outstanding, and he has the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power to reconcile the body and the 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 supernatural power to enhance vitality, so his body-refining process is very smooth.

At noon on the fourth day, he entered the third level of Demon Blood True Body, only one step away from the middle stage of the third level he needed.

Body refining is harder to improve the further one goes.

Just at the third level of the realm, the improvement speed slowed down a lot.

At the end of the fifth day, when the Treasure Mirror recovered its divine soul power, his body-refining cultivation was only at the early stage of the third level.

Lu Chengtong decided to do something fierce.

He took out the Huo Jiu Yao Wang essence blood he had refined and poured it into the bathtub.

The blood entered the water, and the water boiled directly, with a layer of flame appearing on the surface.

He only had the Foundation Establishment body-refining soup medicine formula in his hand, which should be combined with Foundation Establishment monster beast blood; if he used Golden Core monster beast blood, on one hand, it would weaken the fusion characteristics and cause waste, and on the other hand, the residual thoughts and the changes to the body meridians could basically not be controlled by the soup medicine.

For others, there is a risk of going out of control.

But Lu Chengtong had the confidence to control it.

Before entering the bathtub, he first swallowed a drop of the Huo Jiu Yao Wang's essence blood.

In the medicinal soup, while guiding the medicinal liquid outside to temper the body, he launched the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power to fuse the essence blood.

The medicinal liquid seemed to come alive, reaching his head along his neck; he was like a lamp wick, burning. ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
