Chapter 5: The Perfect Blood Refinement Method — Taizu Long Fist**

Watching Zhao Ruchen enter the house to pack his belongings, thoughts flickered in Chu Mo’s mind.

“This tiger!” Chu Mo’s eyes were like lightning, sweeping across briefly, and he realized something. With a flip of his hand, the clothing on the tiger demon trembled, and a token instantly fell into his palm.

“Mobile Guerrilla of the Demon Camp?” Chu Mo’s heart slightly tightened; it was indeed a military general. A mobile guerrilla was a mid-level official in the Demon Camp, with a lower rank than a Military Advisor, and mainly assisted the Military Advisor in managing the Demon Camp’s affairs in the area.

“In other words, the Military Advisors in the area are also my enemies?” Chu Mo was horrified. “Although I have no family now… but since they’re enemies, there’s no reason to let them go! Before heading north, these demon officials and demon generals in the area should all be killed… no!”

“They should also be eradicated! Kill their whole families too…”

Thinking of this, Chu Mo’s killing intent surged. He first looked at his own power level, which had now reached the initial stage of the Innate Realm.

Hmm… a bit ridiculous!
Chu Mo’s mouth twitched. He remembered that he should have been at the first level of the Acquired Realm before? With a blink of an eye, he skipped over the ten levels of the Acquired Realm and upgraded to the Innate Realm!
But thinking about it, this was theoretically an achievement he had to work for eighty-nine years to accomplish! It suddenly felt very reasonable. And if he hadn’t advanced to the Innate Realm… he wouldn’t have been able to defeat that tiger!

He said sternly, “Time Door, give me points!”

This time, Chu Mo did not spend the full ninety years. Instead, he first used ten years to test the waters. After all, he had to be prepared. In case the Taizu Long Fist really didn’t have any room for improvement… wouldn’t it be a waste to spend ninety years if it was useless?
【In the first year, you began to re-practice the Taizu Fist! The intent of the fist that was gestating on your forehead became increasingly terrifying and awe-inspiring.

However, you gradually realized that the strengthening of the fist’s intent consumed an extreme amount of blood and spiritual power!】

【In the fifth year, the intensity of your Taizu Fist’s intent gradually increased by one-half. The progress was slow to the point of being almost terrifying! Because in the process of continuous improvement, you gradually discovered that there seemed to be a force in the heavens and earth, suppressing the growth of your fist intent.】

“Hmm?” Chu Mo glanced at the sky, thinking of one possibility after another. Especially thinking about how he had only grasped the fist intent before dying… perhaps this was not a coincidence?
“If the strength of Heroic Spirits is consistent with the existence of those from ancient times, and the Demon Qing Heroic Spirit is the weakest of all Heroic Spirits, and the Heroic Spirits from earlier dynasties are more powerful and terrifying… is it because the strength of cultivators in more modern times is weaker?”

He was originally puzzled. Logically speaking, human civilization should become more and more advanced with the passage of time! He was still wondering if it was because the demon race had taken over the world and deliberately suppressed the human race… now it seemed that it was not, or rather, not just the problem of the Demon Qing, but also a problem with the heavens and earth!
【In the tenth year, your Taizu Fist’s intent had difficulty rising to about twice its original strength. But you were no longer able to cultivate, your body was severely deficient, and you were so thin that only skin and bones remained. You had to sleep for fifteen hours a day just to barely muster the energy…】

Chu Mo felt the fist radiance on his brow, becoming more and more scorching and terrifying. He silently pulled up the Time Door’s evaluation, looking at the power level column…

“Innate Intermediate? Another small level increase in ten years… not bad!”

Chu Mo paced back and forth in place. The current trouble was that his qi and blood were insufficient and his spirit was declining. If he didn’t solve this problem… hmm? Why did it always feel like something was wrong?!
“This damn thing is purely cultivating offensive techniques and not cultivating methods to nurture life…” Chu Mo finally realized it belatedly, recalling the prompt from the first time he added points. Without a method for cultivating qi and nurturing life…

Chu Mo, for a moment, didn’t know what expression he should make. Logically, shouldn’t he first strengthen his body and only then gradually nurture the fist intent? Was his current problem that he had reversed the order of things? Now he had reached the limit of his body…

“But there’s no method… if there’s no method, there’s no method, at least I have to find a way to get some cultivation resources, should I ask Sixth Uncle directly? Wait… I have it!” Chu Mo suddenly had an idea.

He came to the tiger demon, reached out and pressed on its abdomen, clicking the word ‘extract’ that appeared on the Time Door in his mind.
◈◈◈

The next moment, the tiger demon’s body trembled violently, then gradually shrunk, until only a tiger pelt remained.

A blood-red seed appeared in his palm!
“…This is a Demon Seed?!” Chu Mo stared in astonishment. Although he had never seen it in reality, he had seen it on television in the main world… wasn’t the Demon Seed the essence of blood extracted from demons by a city-level chief surgeon after spending a day?!
“…Forget it, it’s useless to think about this now!”

Chu Mo swallowed the Demon Seed. To refine it normally, one needed to use a specific technique, that is, the Blood Refinement Method created and deduced by Heroic Spirits from various Demon Qing eras… Different Blood Refinement Methods refined different types of Demon Seeds, and the chances were also different…

The most reliable Blood Refinement Method at present should be the Demon Emperor Blood Refinement Method created by that Qianlong Heroic Spirit Awakened!
However, even if he obtained the highest level and the Blood Refinement Method that best suited the Demon Seed, the success rate would only be ninety percent at most!

Before his transmigration, because he hadn’t entered the university cultivation department, he wasn’t qualified to buy a Blood Refinement Method, so naturally he couldn’t refine it now… so Chu Mo chose to simply treat this thing as a resource to nourish his qi and blood…

This was also feasible, but it was too wasteful! It was equivalent to buying an ancient porcelain vase and smashing it for fun at home…

However, Chu Mo didn’t think that this era, where demons were everywhere, lacked Demon Seeds… Wasting it was wasting it!
Another ten years of lifespan were thrown on it.

【In the first year, you continuously used the Taizu Long Fist to refine the Demon Seed’s qi and blood within your body, and you felt your physique constantly strengthening!】

【In the second year, your physique was still strengthening…】

【In the fifth year, you had completely refined the Demon Seed’s qi and blood. You felt that your physique strength was more than three times its original, and your skin was extremely tough!
You realized something was wrong. This level of increase, this was clearly what happened when you successfully refined a Demon Seed! After all, you had already advanced to the Innate Realm by practicing the Taizu Long Fist for nearly ninety years! Your physique strength far surpassed that of ordinary people…

However, if the refinement had been successful in modern times, the characteristics of the demon would definitely appear on the surface, such as ears or a tail!
The fewer the characteristics, the more successful it was. But no matter how successful, it was impossible to have no characteristics at all… even the Demon Emperor Blood Refinement Method of that Qianlong Emperor couldn’t do this.

But there were no demon characteristics on your body… from beginning to end, you were exactly the same as a human!
This made you feel incredible!
Without using a Blood Refinement Method, you perfectly integrated the Demon Seed? Were you a special case?
But you quickly rejected this thought. After repeatedly thinking about it, you speculated that it might have been the Taizu Long Fist that played some role!】

“…” Chu Mo was silent; Chu Mo fell into thought; Chu Mo’s heart stirred up a stormy sea.

He suddenly realized something extremely terrifying.

“Taizu Long Fist… could it be the perfect Blood Refinement Method?!”
