Chapter 91: Blood Lotus Forges a Saintly Body, Jian Xiong is Remembered
The Fire Dragon Sword pierced through, penetrating the female Flood Dragon’s head.
The female Flood Dragon still didn’t react.
“It seems it’s really dead!”
Zhou Chen was relieved. Even if it wasn’t dead before, it was now!
His previous arrow, shot from the female Flood Dragon’s mouth, should have hit its vital point, killing it with one shot.
Zhou Chen waved his hand, storing the two Blood Flood Dragons into the Wind and Moon Mirror.
Flood Dragons are treasures all over.
Worth a fortune.
After storing the two Blood Flood Dragons, Zhou Chen discovered a pile of bones at the bottom of the cold pool, along with many Tier 4 Divine Weapons.
“It seems quite a few martial artists have fallen here.”
Zhou Chen collected the Divine Weapons and also found many storage pouches, the smile in his eyes deepening.
He struck it rich!
After meticulously searching the bottom of the cold pool and confirming he hadn’t missed anything, Zhou Chen returned to the shore.
Seeing Zhou Chen emerge, Li Chang Hen’s full, towering chest trembled slightly, clearly relieved, obviously worried about him.
“Senior Sister, both Blood Flood Dragons are dead!”
Zhou Chen took out the two corpses and three lotus pods of Dragon Tree Blood Lotus, smiling, “We’ll split them equally!”
“You killed the Blood Flood Dragons and even saved me. I can’t accept a reward without contributing,” Li Chang Hen declined.
“How did you not contribute? If Senior Sister hadn’t attracted the Blood Flood Dragon’s attention, I wouldn’t have been able to kill both of them.”
Zhou Chen picked up a lotus pod and stuffed it into Li Chang Hen’s hand:
“This is fine, right? I had the biggest contribution, so I’ll just take a tiny bit more!”
“That’s settled, no refusing!” Zhou Chen said firmly.
Li Chang Hen looked at the lotus pod. She truly needed it. Thinking that Zhou Chen still had two lotus pods and two Blood Flood Dragons, she didn’t refuse anymore.
“Senior Sister, we’ve been working hard for two days, our stomachs must be growling. I’ll treat you to roasted dragon meat!”
Zhou Chen called out, skillfully taking out the grill and Blood Flood Dragon meat.
Crimson God Flame surged out, quickly roasting the meat.
As the Blood Flood Dragon meat cooked, it turned golden yellow, golden oil dripping down, a rich meaty aroma filling the air.
“Senior Sister, time to eat!”
Calling Li Chang Hen over, Zhou Chen took out wine. Just like he did with Jian Xiong in the cave before, they ate heartily and drank from large bowls.
As the saying goes, warmth breeds thoughts of… well, you know.
After eating and drinking their fill, especially with the Blood Flood Dragon meat having some side effects, the effects became apparent.
Zhou Chen seized the opportunity, embracing his Senior Sister and successfully getting on the (love) train.
Wonderful!
The next day.
Zhou Chen looked at Li Chang Hen, who was sleeping soundly in his embrace, feeling content and refreshed.
Suddenly.
Li Chang Hen opened her eyes, remembering what happened yesterday, feeling both ashamed and angry.
“You bastard!”
She pushed him forcefully and glared at Zhou Chen as he moved away, her face flushed with anger, “If there’s a next time, I’ll break your legs!”
After saying that, Li Chang Hen glared at Zhou Chen again and fled in panic.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stumbled.
Li Chang Hen clamped her legs together, paused for a moment, then quickly disappeared from Zhou Chen’s sight.
“Women, they always say one thing but mean another!”
Zhou Chen shook his head.
Last night, he clearly felt his Senior Sister’s suppressed longing and welcome.
Dismissing the lingering thoughts of passion, Zhou Chen looked at his personal panel.
His Romance Points had increased by another 20,000, reaching 90,000.
Additionally…
【Heaven-Supporting Sword: Sixth Level(270,000/320,000)】
“It increased by 110,000 points in these three days?”
Zhou Chen was a little surprised.
During these three days of dual cultivation with Li Chang Hen, Zhou Chen had chosen to focus on improving the Heaven-Supporting Sword, but he didn’t expect the effect to be so good.
“Senior Sister is amazing, the Blood Flood Dragon meat is amazing, and the Wind and Moon Secret Record…”
Looking at the remaining 90,000 Romance Points, Zhou Chen considered whether he should add 50,000 to it and raise the Heaven-Supporting Sword to the seventh level?
“Right, there’s also the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul!”
Zhou Chen took out the spiritual herb he had found before. This was a supreme grade spiritual herb that had miraculous effects on bone marrow and blood refinement.
“Just the right time to test its effects!”
Zhou Chen swallowed it in a few bites and took out the Tier 4 Divine Weapon, Blazing Fire Sword, that he had picked up from the bottom of the Azure Water Cold Pool, and began practicing the Heaven-Supporting Sword.
As he practiced the body tempering postures of the Heaven-Supporting Sword, the medicinal effects of the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul took effect, making the blood in Zhou Chen’s entire body feel as if it were boiling.
Zhou Chen practiced the Heaven-Supporting Sword’s body tempering postures, refining his blood, absorbing the medicinal power. His whole body felt itchy and tingly, both pleasurable and uncomfortable.
After a stick of incense.
【Heaven-Supporting Sword: Sixth Level(285,010/320,000)】
“It increased quite a bit, but I’ve only refined a tiny bit of the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul’s medicinal power. To completely refine it, it’ll take at least half a month…”
Zhou Chen felt it was too long.
It’s like, after experiencing the speed of an airplane, riding a slow train is unbearable.
“I should be able to use points to refine it.”
Acting on his thought, Zhou Chen immediately said:
“Add points!”
As Zhou Chen’s thought fell, 10,000 Romance Points were consumed. It was as if he had diligently cultivated day and night for a week. The medicinal power of the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul was rapidly refined and integrated into his body.
The progress of the Heaven-Supporting Sword surged wildly.
Zhou Chen directly completed blood refinement, stepping into the seventh level of the Heaven-Supporting Sword’s body tempering, the Internal Organ Tempering stage, and even made significant progress within this stage.
【Heaven-Supporting Sword: Seventh Level(495,810/640,000)】
“Hiss! One Purple Frost Heavenly Soul is equivalent to nearly 550,000 Romance Points?”
Zhou Chen’s eyes widened in shock.
However, the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul was a Tier 2 supreme grade spiritual herb, a special body tempering herb with miraculous effects on body refinement. It was priceless in the outside world, so it was normal for it to have such an effect. The Purple Frost Heavenly Soul was equivalent to saving Romance Points on energy consumption, which happened to be the biggest expense.
“I still have the Tier 3 body tempering miracle herb, Dragon Tree Blood Lotus. Wouldn’t that be enough to forge the Heaven-Supporting Sword Physique?”
Excited, Zhou Chen immediately took out the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus.
Two lotus pods, each containing nine lotus seeds, a total of eighteen.
“I’ll eat half first.”
Zhou Chen ate nine lotus seeds.
“Add points!”
This time, it consumed 30,000 Romance Points. It was as if Zhou Chen had diligently cultivated for two and a half months. The nine lotus seeds were completely refined.
The inner energy of the Heaven-Supporting Sword within his body flowed through his five viscera and six bowels, intertwining into a net, forming a tight protection.
This net was tighter and stronger than the net formed by Zhou Chen’s cultivation of other martial arts.
If the net formed by ordinary high-level martial arts was like a cheap, mass-produced net, then the net formed by supreme grade high-level martial arts was like a high-quality net worth a thousand coins.
And the net formed by the unparalleled divine art, Heaven-Supporting Sword, was like a supreme, custom-made net worth hundreds of thousands.
“Is this the power of an unparalleled divine art…”
Zhou Chen sighed. Leaving aside other realms, just at the stage of completing Internal Organ Tempering, those who cultivated unparalleled divine arts could definitely easily crush those at the same realm.
Of course, the effects of nine Dragon Tree Blood Lotus seeds didn’t just allow Zhou Chen to complete Internal Organ Tempering. Most of the medicinal power integrated into his body, causing him to transform towards the Heaven-Supporting Sword Physique.
【Heaven-Supporting Sword: Eighth Level(1,008,580/1,280,000)】
“Just a little bit more!”
A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Chen’s eyes. He took out four more Dragon Tree Blood Lotus seeds.
“Add points!”
10,000 Romance Points were consumed, the four Dragon Tree Blood Lotus seeds were completely refined. Zhou Chen’s body trembled as an incomparably sharp aura emanated from him.
At this moment, Zhou Chen seemed to have transformed into a divine sword capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth. His body exuded a terrifying sharpness that was hard to look at directly.
The Heaven-Supporting Sword Physique was complete!
Zhou Chen circulated the Concealing One’s Tracks technique, the sharpness on his body gradually receding. He shook his head and sighed.
He had wanted to see if he could forge ahead and complete the ninth level of body tempering in one go, but as expected, he failed.
The Dragon Tree Blood Lotus was a treasure specifically for the physical body.
It had no effect on spirit refinement.
Zhou Chen clearly felt that after the energy of the four Dragon Tree Blood Lotus seeds forged the Heaven-Supporting Sword Physique, it integrated into his physical body and didn’t improve his cultivation of the ninth level of the Heaven-Supporting Sword’s body tempering.
【Heaven-Supporting Sword: Ninth Level(0/2,500,000)】
“Two million five hundred thousand…”
Zhou Chen estimated that it would take him at least half a year to accumulate that many Romance Points.
If he wanted to be faster, he could only find a spiritual herb with miraculous effects on spirit refinement!
“Two-pronged approach: accumulate Romance Points and find a spirit refinement herb!”
With a goal in mind, Zhou Chen immediately took action.
The Heavenly Cloud Secret Realm opened once every ten years. Inside, there were countless spiritual herbs, many of which couldn’t be found outside.
Zhou Chen searched frantically.
With the Heaven-Supporting Sword Physique complete, Zhou Chen felt like he had endless strength.
As he picked up a sword, he felt like he was a natural-born emperor of swords.
The sword seemed to come alive in his hand!
This was the feeling of the Heaven-Supporting Sword Physique, comparable to a Saint Physique.
This made Zhou Chen even more focused on this unparalleled divine art, his motivation soaring.
…
Meanwhile.
A young man in purple robes appeared at the place where the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower had grown.
A divine weapon hung at the young man’s waist, a signature smile played on his lips. He had an extraordinary aura, standing out from the crowd.
“Yin and Yang converging, a chance for creation, wondrous things naturally arise. This is a treasured land.”
The young man’s eyes lit up as he quickly moved forward. However, seeing the traces of the battle that had taken place here, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Someone got here first!”
He swept his sharp gaze across the area, murmuring:
“The battle was intense. It’s the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Heavenly Sword Technique. The only one in the Secret Realm with this level of strength is Jian Xiong!”
He continued forward, arriving at the place where the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower had grown.
Seeing the remaining traces of the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower, the young man in purple robes’ pupils constricted:
“It was actually the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower!”
His breathing quickened, his heart burning with desire.
Although the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower wasn’t high-level, it was a rare treasure with extraordinary effects, especially its ability to help people change their constitution and improve their talent and potential, making it a supreme grade herb.
It was basically impossible to find on the market because those who obtained it would generally use it themselves.
Even if it occasionally appeared at an auction, it would be fiercely sought after.
“If I obtain the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower, my Sword Bone can evolve into a Yin-Yang Sword Bone, my Spirit Physique can advance to a Saint Physique. Then I’ll have the capital to compete for the position of Prince of Zhennan. By then, let’s see who dares to call me the son of a concubine…”
The young man clenched his fists, his face flushed, as if he were high, his expression fanatical.
He was the illegitimate son of the Prince of Zhennan, named Chu Ying Xiong.
His mother was a maidservant in the Prince’s Residence. The Prince of Zhennan had taken a fancy to her one day and favored her in the garden, and by chance, got her pregnant. So she was taken in as a concubine.
But her status was still low.
Fortunately, he had good talent, possessing an innate Sword Physique.
But his brothers were not weak either. Some even had better talent than him, and they often bullied and suppressed him.
“The Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower contains a deadly poison. Unless it’s refined into a pill by an Alchemy Grandmaster, a man and a woman must consume it together and then engage in dual cultivation to activate its effects without being poisoned to death. Jian Xiong couldn’t have consumed it.”
Chu Ying Xiong was no stranger to information about Jian Xiong.
With Jian Xiong’s personality, she wouldn’t casually find a man to engage in dual cultivation on the spot.
The Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower must still be with Jian Xiong.
“Alchemy Grandmasters are highly respected individuals. It would be difficult for the Heavenly Sword Sect to invite one. The easiest method for Jian Xiong is to find someone to consume it with.”
“She, like me, has an innate Sword Bone. I can marry her and we can consume the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower together, advancing together…”
Chu Ying Xiong envisioned the future, his heart filled with longing,
“By then, with our two Saint Physiques and our swords combined, who in the world could rival us?”
He felt like he had reached the pinnacle of life!
