Xia Qingyang tried his best to overcome the physiological instinct caused by the cold, but the moment the maid came to him with concern...
He felt the girl's body temperature and surging blood... His sanity almost collapsed.
This damn Demon Sect, damn Xia Jiang!
He cursed angrily in his heart, then gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and snorted: "Get out of here!"
The maid was startled and ran outside quickly.
She suddenly turned her head and looked over with some worry, as if she was very worried about the young man she was serving.
only……
The door behind her suddenly opened.
A man walked in from outside and pushed the maid into the room.
This was a young girl dressed in blood-colored brocade clothes. She looked at Xia Qingyang, who was trembling all over and trying to sit up on the couch, and said, "You are the new Xue Wu, right?"
"Quickly call sister to come and listen..."
Xia Qingyang felt that the coldest moment had passed. He took a deep breath and said tremblingly: "Sister."
The girl laughed "haha": "You are well-behaved, and you are much more sensible than the last Xuewu... As a reward, your sister Xueyu will help you overcome your psychological difficulties..."
"You have to pass the test of entering my Xuanyin blood pool and drinking human blood raw."
With that said, she grabbed the frightened maid and brought her beautiful neck to Xia Qingyang's mouth.
She said: "Come here, take a bite and you will be able to taste the sweet and delicious blood of the girl."
Xia Qingyang was able to restrain most of the negative effects caused by the cold at this time, but his whole body was still cold.
His mind raced for a moment, and then he showed a disgusted expression: "Sister Xueyi, don't you think this will make yourself dirty?"
Xueyi was surprised for a moment, and then said with great interest: "Then I can put it in a bowl for you?"
Xia Qingyang quickly added: "Putting it in a bowl is just for now. When I succeed in my practice in the future, I will have to look for a good vessel to hold blood..."
Xue Yu's eyes kept flashing, and she felt that she was being persuaded... She was a 'fairy', and every time she drank blood, she was covered in blood. Is this really ugly?
Previously, he was put off by the environment of Xuanyin Blood Pond, but now that he was reminded by Xia Qingyang, Xueyi suddenly felt that he should also pay attention to his personal image!
She was completely distracted by Xia Qingyang, and then she became a little absent-minded about the things here.
She looked around and couldn't find an empty bowl, so she said impatiently: "Just make do with it this time, hurry up, or I'll slit her neck for you?"
Xia Qingyang added: "Then please sister Xueyi, please cut her wrist open for me, and I'll just eat it on her wrist."
He didn't know how he could say such words with such a normal mind, but he did say it anyway.
Xueyu's eyes widened and he said: "Where do you come from so much nonsense? Do you still care about her when you come here?"
Xia Qingyang's heart tightened, and then she said submissively: "Sister Xueyi, little brother, it's just, it's just..."
Xueyu scolded fiercely: "Just what?!"
Xia Qingyang looked terrified and said, "I just want to taste it first. If I think it tastes bad, can I change it?"
Xueyi suddenly became happy again and asked, "What if you think it tastes good?"
Xia Qingyang looked at the maid who had turned pale with fright in embarrassment and said: "If it tastes good... I wonder if I can feed her well so that I can drink her blood often in the future."
Xue Yu was stagnant at that time, and said angrily: "Do you think you are drinking milk when you drink blood?"
Xia Qingyang lowered his head and said nothing, acting as a child of his age should when encountering scary things and said: "I'm just asking, if it doesn't work, forget it..."
Hearing this, Xue Yu impatiently pushed the maid away and said, "Okay, seeing that you have survived this cold poison attack, I will leave this woman for you to enjoy next time."
"What you kid says is really interesting...it even makes me a little excited."
Xue Qing muttered to herself, then opened the door and went out.
Xia Qingyang looked at the shivering maid, and wanted to say some words of comfort...but then he realized that the better he treated the maid here, the worse her fate would be.
So he waved his hands in annoyance and said: "What are you doing standing there? Go find a bowl and put a bowl of blood for me."
The maid trembled and went away. She quickly endured the pain and opened her wrist with a dagger, and started bleeding in front of Xia Qingyang...
Xia Qingyang looked at the blood that filled less than half of the bowl, then waved his hand and said: "That's enough, I just have a taste today, you can stop the bleeding yourself."
The maid's expression relaxed, she quickly covered her wrists and knelt down to say goodbye, then withdrew.
Xia Qingyang rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and wanted to just give up on himself.
But……
What can he do?
Looking at the small half bowl of human blood in front of him, he pinched his nose and tasted some...it was warm and had a special sweet taste...surprisingly not that fishy.
Should it be said that it is worthy of the blood of a girl?
But he still felt sick in his heart, feeling disgusted by what he had just done.
"If you want to survive here, you have to overcome this..." He frowned and endured, wanting to take another taste.
This time he didn't hold his nose anymore, he had to adapt to the new life...
Wait, it seems that there is no workaround?
Xia Qingyang felt that he really couldn't bear to do this, so he began to think about some alternatives...
But before that, he had to do something.
That is to deal with the cold poison caused by practicing "Taiyin Secret Scroll".
If he couldn't pass this level, then no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain, and he could only drink hot blood to suppress the cold poison.
His body was invaded by the cold poison just now, and his mind could not sink into the Hengtian Xuanhuang Ruler... Now he sinks his mind into it, hoping that the backup move he prepared in advance can help.
The first layer of Hengtian Xuanhuang Ruler: [Wind], blessing, sense, essence.
Looking at the highlighted word "wind" on the first floor, Xia Qingyang just wanted to go back in time and slap himself awake before making this choice.
In his current situation, choosing to increase his awareness of the wind is simply in vain, and choosing blessings will not satisfy his thirst.
The word "sense" is also a very useful ability in dealing with perception, but it is not helpful for his current predicament.
Only by choosing the word 'jing' to strengthen his own essence will be extremely helpful to his practice and current predicament... After all, the stronger the essence, the stronger his ability to withstand cold poison.
Now he has no choice but to turn his attention to the next floor.
The second layer of Hengtian Xuanhuang Ruler: rain, blessing, resistance, and energy.
The first choice is 'Rain', which increases your understanding of the way of 'Rain'... This is of no use to you now, so just skip it.
The second option is still Fu, as if it is a fixed option for every level? Still skip it.
The third option is 'resistance'. From a simple perception, it seems to enhance one's resistance to various internal and external forces... which is a bit interesting.
The fourth option is ‘Qi’, which is to enhance one’s own inner Qi… This is also a bit interesting.
By choosing 'Qi', Xia Qingyang estimated that it would be able to speed up his foundation building speed, and would even be helpful in the Qi refining period after foundation building.
But……
Xia Qingyang directly chose to 'resist'.
What he really wants to solve now is the problem of cold poison intrusion.
The word 'anti' was highlighted on the second level, and a warm air immediately spread from his chest and abdomen to his limbs.
Feeling his originally cold body slowly warming up... he knew that his choice was not wrong at least for the moment.
This gave him a little peace of mind, at least the difficulties he was currently facing could really be solved by relying on this 'Hengtian Xuanhuang Ruler'.
