Chapter 91: Blood Spirit Technique
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
According to the cultivation technique, one had to first choose a demon beast and use a secret technique to refine its blood.
This demon beast could be chosen at will, but most people would choose the snake demon.
This was because the path of the blood snake’s evolution was clear. From snakes, pythons, boas, flood dragons, to the ultimate blood dragon.
In fact, the Blood Spirit Technique did not stipulate that only one demon beast could be refined. In theory, the spiritual essence of all beasts could be merged into the blood.
However, in order to avoid being influenced by the habits of too many demon beasts, only one was chosen for refinement.
The reason why Zhang Chen chose this cultivation technique was because when he saw it, an idea popped into his mind.
Could he use a secret technique to cultivate human blood and integrate its spiritual essence into the Blood God Son’s body, and give the Blood God Son intelligence?
Others didn’t dare to do this because they were afraid of the Blood God Son’s backlash. But Zhang Chen did not have such concerns.
Blood essence was still human blood!
Zhang Chen sat cross-legged and eagerly began to use the Blood Spirit Technique to refine his blood essence and extract the spirituality within it.
Meanwhile, Hong Longguang arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.
“Hong senior brother, is there something you need from me?” Shen Gengyuan asked with a bow.
“I’m here to demand justice for my seventh junior brother Zhang Chen. When he was just promoted, you assigned him the task of recapturing Shanyue kingdom. This was clearly a task that could not be completed by someone at the first level of foundation building. You deliberately sent him to his death!” Hong Longguang accused.
So he was here to settle scores!
The smile on Shen Gengyuan’s face disappeared, and he asked in a low voice,
“What does Senior Brother Hong want?”
Hong Longguang said in a deep voice, “Return the blood essence that was taken as punishment and compensate!”
“Senior Brother Hong, must you offend our Internal Affairs Hall for Zhang Chen?” Shen Gengyuan narrowed his eyes.
“My Seventh Junior Brother’s mission was arranged by you. I’m not targeting the Internal Affairs Hall, but you!” Hong Longguang sneered.
“What if I refuse to compensate?” Shen Gengyuan asked coldly.
“Then our Beast Garden will not provide demon blood to the Internal Affairs Hall. As the owner of the Beast Garden, I can do this. Can you?” Hong Longguang was aware that his time was limited and had no scruples.
Shen Gengyuan’s face darkened. He did not expect Hong Longguang to go to such lengths for Zhang Chen.
The cessation of the supply of demonic blood would have a huge impact. He had four senior brothers above him who would surely hold him accountable.
For a moment, both sides fell into silence, and the atmosphere became tense.
Three days later, Hong Longguang once again arrived at Zhang Chen’s cave. “Seventh Junior Brother, come out and meet me.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, what’s the matter?” Zhang Chen was a little puzzled. How come Hong Longguang was here to find him again in just a few days?
“I said that I would seek justice for you from the Internal Affairs Hall. After three days of negotiation, they want to compete with us.
“If we win, they will compensate you with double the blood essence. If they win, the matter will be dropped. What do you think?”
Zhang Chen didn’t expect things to develop like this. His original idea was to kill Shen Gengyuan privately.
However, it did not matter. It was time to show his fangs to his fellow disciples!
“Thank you, Senior Brother, for your hard work. Let’s compete with them.” Hong Longguang nodded. “Okay, I will personally take the field and make sure you win.”
This decision was not entirely for Zhang Chen. If he was injured during the competition, there was a reason to postpone the Core Formation.
What really made him want to build the formation was fear. There was no reason to delay before, but now there was a reason that came to him.
Not only could he do Zhang Chen a favor, but he could also live for a while longer. It was killing two birds with one stone.
“Thank you for your kindness, Eldest Senior Brother. This is my own business. I want to compete personally,” Zhang Chen refused.
“It’s good that you’re confident, Junior Brother.” Hong Longguang did not force him.
“Eldest Senior Brother, when will the competition take place?”
“The direct disciples’ gathering will be held in four months. At that time, it will be held under the witness of many direct disciples.”
After Hong Longguang left, Zhang Chen continued to practice the Blood Spirit Technique.
Time flew by, and a month passed.
Zhang Chen looked at the agile blood-colored aura in his hand and smiled. “After a month, I’ve finally mastered the Blood Spirit Technique and extracted the spirituality from the blood essence!”
“Next, it’s time to merge this spirituality into the Blood God Son and test the hypothesis.”
After the Blood God gained intelligence, he could use spells, and his strength would at least increase tenfold.
With a thought from Zhang Chen, a Blood God Son flew out of his body.
Zhang Chen slapped his palm, injecting the spiritual energy in his hand into the Blood God Son’s body.
As soon as the spiritual energy entered the Blood God Son’s body, it melted into the blood and disappeared.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths…
Under Zhang Chen’s gaze, the Blood God Son began to change.
Originally lifeless and like a puppet, the Blood God Son seemed to become more lively.
Without facial features, the face that was as calm as a still lake began to fluctuate, slowly forming into the nose, eyes, and other facial features.
Without Zhang Chen’s command, the Blood God Son moved. He turned his head and observed his surroundings curiously.
“It really works!”
Zhang Chen’s face was full of excitement. With this, he didn’t have to scatter the Blood God Sons.
His main means of attack was the Blood God Son, so he had not given it intelligence, fearing that it would be lost outside.
If it encountered a direct disciple of the Blood God Sect, it would be like giving away several hundred units of blood.
Zhang Chen’s divine sense scanned over, trying to communicate with the Blood God Son.
The Blood God Son did indeed gain intelligence, but it was too weak, currently only at the level of a three-year-old child and unable to understand and use spells. It needed to continue to integrate spiritual energy to increase its intelligence.
“Come back!”
Zhang Chen retracted the Blood God Son and did not continue to extract the spiritual energy from the blood essence.
Instead, he extracted the spiritual energy from the demon blood and integrated it into his own blood for the competition in three months.
Like most people, he chose the spiritual energy of the snake demon.
As one of the managers of the Beast Garden, he could have any demon blood he wanted.
Yu Fangxiang was one of the five people Zhang Chen had brought back to the sect during the previous mission of searching for spiritual root disciples..
After joining the Blood God Sect, he understood how cruel it was and cultivated diligently.
Unfortunately, his aptitude was not good. After six years, he was only at the second level of Qi Refinement.
According to the Blood God Sect’s rules, if a disciple did not break through to the third level of Qi Refinement in six years, he would be stripped of his disciple status and demoted to a blood slave.
Seeing that it was almost the day of the sect assessment, Yu Fangxiang, who had nowhere to go, thought of Zhang Chen.
After asking around, Yu Fangxiang finally found Zhang Chen’s cave abode.
“Senior Brother Zhang, are you there?”
Zhang Chen stopped his cultivation and walked out of the cave, seeing that it was an outer disciple: “What’s the matter?”
Yu Fangxiang said excitedly, “Senior Brother Zhang, do you still remember me? Six years ago, it was you who brought me into the sect.”
Zhang Chen recalled that there was indeed such a person and asked plainly, “What’s the matter?”
Yu Fangxiang said respectfully, “My aptitude is poor, and I cannot pass this year’s sect examination. I would like to ask Senior Brother for some blood to help me pass the examination.”
Zhang Chen’s face was cold as he rejected him directly. “You can leave now.”
Yu Fangxiang was anxious. “Senior Brother, won’t you help me? I came to the sect with your help!”
“Half a year ago, I brought dozens of people back to the sect. Should I also give them blood to help them pass the examination? If I don’t bring you back to the Blood God Sect, there will be others who will.’
Zhang Chen’s tone was icy. Once he started, many others would follow suit.
“It was you who brought me to the Blood God Sect. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have died. You have to help me. You have to help me!” Yu Fangxiang shouted, unwilling to give up.
Zhang Chen’s gaze turned cold. He condensed his bloodthirsty aura and slapped out. “Scram!”
“Bang!”
Yu Fangxiang spat out blood and rolled down the mountain.
If not for the fact that he could not kill his fellow disciples in the sect, Zhang Chen’s palm could have directly killed Yu Fangxiang.
Yu Fangxiang, who had been seriously injured and rolled down the mountain, said with hatred in his eyes, “You will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death..
