Cultivating for Immorality: I Evolved Martial Arts into the Immortal Path – Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Blood Activating Powder

In the county town, there was a shop named “Anbao Hall”.

This was what the village Doctor Wang had told Chu Liang.

The Blood Activating Powder sold at Anbao Hall was very useful for martial artists tempering their Qi and blood.

It was a dark red medicinal powder, contained in small porcelain bottles, each with the words “Blood Activating Powder” written in black on red paper.

Chu Liang entered Anbao Hall and explained his purpose.

“Young Master, you want to buy Blood Activating Powder?” The doctor at Anbao Hall kindly advised, “This Blood Activating Powder, ordinary people can’t take too much of it, it will cause discomfort.”

“Don’t worry, Doctor.”

Chu Liang, with a calm expression, walked to the entrance of the shop and easily lifted a large stone.

Seeing this, the doctor immediately lost his concerns.

He opened a bottle of Blood Activating Powder, took some powder with a small spoon, poured it onto straw paper, and let Chu Liang sample it.

“Young Master, try it.”

“Alright!”

Chu Liang carefully smelled it, then took a little and tasted it.

The familiar taste of Blood Ginseng!

Clearly, the main ingredient of this Blood Activating Powder was also Blood Ginseng.

It felt similar to the “Qi and Blood Replenishing Powder” he had previously evolved from the “Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup”.

But the Qi and Blood Replenishing Powder required demon beast meat for further evolution, while this Blood Activating Powder could be evolved with ordinary flesh and blood.

Blood Activating Powder: Evolvable

Offering six catties of flesh and blood can evolve “Blood Activating Powder” into “Blood Replenishing Ointment”.

Blood Replenishing Ointment was a black, viscous paste, similar in appearance to black mud, with a bloody smell, also sold in Anbao Hall.

The doctor said its medicinal effect was much stronger than Blood Activating Powder, and the price was much higher.

Chu Liang inquired, and a single serving of Blood Replenishing Ointment actually cost ten taels of silver!

This was not taking medicine, it was clearly consuming silver!

The Blood Activating Powder was much cheaper, a small porcelain bottle only cost one tael of silver.

“Doctor, why is Blood Replenishing Ointment so much more expensive?” Chu Liang asked curiously.

“Many people have asked.” The doctor smiled and said, “Actually, I don’t quite understand either. We don’t have the recipe for Blood Replenishing Ointment in our county town. I buy this ointment from the prefectural city.”

“I see.”

“Yes.”

The doctor continued, “I asked the people in the prefectural city, and they said that this Blood Replenishing Ointment not only contains various precious medicines but also has added demon beast blood essence, which is very beneficial to martial artists.”

“So that’s how it is.”

“Young Master, do you want to buy some?”

“No, I can’t afford it.”

Chu Liang smiled and shook his head.

This Blood Replenishing Ointment was really too expensive, even in this county town, probably only the core disciples of those wealthy families could afford it.

Luckily, he had the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror!

Chu Liang bought twenty bottles of Blood Activating Powder in one go, put them all into the cloth bag on his back, and then left the shop.

“This medicine should be enough.”

The main purpose of this trip to the county town was to buy Blood Activating Powder.

Chu Liang thought for a moment and, instead of rushing back to the village, went to the south of the city market again and selected three puppies.

These three puppies, according to the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror, all required more than twenty catties of flesh and blood to evolve.

“I’ll buy some more meat.”

Chu Liang rented a donkey cart and bought a cart full of meat.

He drove the donkey cart, with the three hunting dogs, and embarked on the journey home.

Because he had stayed in the county town for too long, it was already nine o’clock in the evening when he returned to the village. The village was quiet, and many villagers had already fallen asleep.

Chu Liang drove the donkey cart into the yard and then began to use the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror.

“You three pups, come here!”

Chu Liang beckoned.

“Woof woof woof…”

Hearing this sound, the three puppies immediately wagged their tails.

They ran to Chu Liang’s legs, their eyes shining brightly, very enthusiastic, pawing at his pants, all yipping as if they regarded Chu Liang as the closest person in the world.

Chu Liang used the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror to evolve these three puppies one by one.

“From now on, you three are the dog kings of this village!”

Chu Liang patted the heads of the three puppies.

He tore off a piece of meat and casually threw it into a corner of the yard, letting the three puppies fight for it.

Then, Chu Liang took out the rat cage.

Two small, gray mice were sleeping soundly in the cage.

Treasure Seeking Rat: Incomplete bloodline: Evolvable

Chu Liang’s mind stirred, and he used the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror.

“Evolve!”

The Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror began to glow as usual.

To Chu Liang’s surprise, this time, the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror showed some changes.

After a few breaths, a faint ray of light suddenly floated out from the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror, directly out of Chu Liang’s mind, then split into two and drilled into the heads of the two small mice.

Chu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he received a new piece of information.

Treasure Seeking Rat has successfully acknowledged its master

“Acknowledged its master?”

This was the first time Chu Liang had seen the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror give different information. Previously, it had all been about evolution.

Chu Liang looked at the mice in the cage and felt a strange connection with these two little mice.

The two small mice had already woken up, their small eyes like black pearls, standing in the cage and looking at Chu Liang.

One person and two mice looked at each other for a moment.

The evolved mice were no different from before.

If one didn’t look carefully, one would definitely mistake them for ordinary brown rats.

“From today on, you will be called Rat One.” Chu Liang pointed to the fatter one, then pointed to the thinner one, “You will be Rat Two, remember?”

The two small mice blinked their eyes, as if they could understand his words, and nodded in unison.

The Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror prompted that the little mice could continue to evolve.

Treasure Seeking Rat: Evolvable

Offering thirty catties of ordinary demon beast flesh and blood can evolve the “Treasure Seeking Rat” into a “Brocade Hair Treasure Seeking Rat”.

In the next stage, the little mice would grow a small tuft of brocade hair on their chests, and their ability to detect and find treasures would be greatly enhanced.

Chu Liang was observing Rat One and Rat Two when he suddenly felt a special spiritual fluctuation. Although it was a bit blurry, he could still barely make out the meaning contained within it.

“You want to leave the cage?”

Chu Liang was really surprised. These little mice could actually communicate with him, albeit barely.

But he quickly understood. After all, these were demon beasts!

The Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror had completed their bloodlines, freeing them from the shackles of the mundane.

“You want to go out and explore?” Chu Liang asked.

In the cage, Rat One and Rat Two nodded in unison.

Chu Liang did not refuse and said directly, “Alright, I’ll open the cage for you. Be careful, don’t go too far.”

After receiving permission, the two small mice conveyed a wave of happy emotions.

Then, before Chu Liang could even open the cage for them, they stretched out their small paws and, with a crack, directly tore open the cage.

This cage couldn’t hold them at all!

Rat One and Rat Two ran out of the cage one after the other, their four paws moving rapidly, their speed incredibly fast, and they instantly disappeared into the darkness.

“They sure run fast!”

Chu Liang was secretly surprised. With this kind of speed, he didn’t have to worry about the safety of these two mice.

Next, he evolved all twenty bottles of Blood Activating Powder and obtained twenty portions of Blood Replenishing Ointment.

If converted into silver, these twenty portions of Blood Replenishing Ointment would require a full two hundred taels of silver!

“Let’s try the effect.”

Chu Liang bit off a small piece of Blood Replenishing Ointment, and a strong bloody smell instantly spread in his mouth.

He frowned involuntarily, endured the discomfort, and forced himself to swallow it.

The next moment, it felt like a ball of fire had ignited in his stomach!

“Such a strong medicinal effect!”
