As Zhang Ruochen's realm gets higher and higher, more Xuanwu Holy Blood needs to be refined if he wants to improve his cultivation level.
It took Zhang Ruochen half a year to refine three drops of Xuanwu Holy Blood to advance from the early stage of the fourth fish-dragon transformation to the peak of the fourth fish-dragon transformation.
It should be noted that in the third transformation of fish and dragon, he only refined a drop and reached the peak state.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen's whole body's meridians were filled with violent infuriating energy. Part of the infuriating energy, which was beyond his ability to bear, surged out of his pores and floated in the air, forming a three-foot-long Xuanwu shadow.
Refining the Xuanwu Holy Blood has indeed rapidly improved Zhang Ruochen's cultivation, reaching the peak of the fourth fish-dragon transformation in one fell swoop. However, the increased power has not yet fully matched Zhang Ruochen's own strength.
The newly added blood energy and true energy still contained the aura of Qinghuo Xuanwu, forming a repulsive force with Zhang Ruochen's true energy and blood energy.
Zhang Ruochen did not continue to refine the fourth drop of Xuanwu Holy Blood. He stretched out a palm, mobilized the true energy in his body, transported the powerful true energy to the meridians of his arm, and poured out from the palm of his hand.
Faintly, Zhang Ruochen felt that the meridians in his arms were tingling slightly, as his own infuriating energy and the newly added infuriating energy were colliding with each other.
As a result, Zhang Ruochen immediately withdrew part of his true energy and at the same time slowed down the current of true energy, and the tingling sensation in his arm meridians immediately disappeared.
"The cultivation level has reached the peak of the fourth fish-dragon transformation. Even if we continue to refine the Xuanwu Holy Blood, it is impossible to reach the fifth fish-dragon transformation immediately."
"From now on, I have to let my cultivation settle for a period of time, refine the blood energy and true energy in my body to be more rounded, integrate it with my own blood energy and true energy, and completely consolidate the realm before I can open up the second path.
Holy Vein, impact on the fifth transformation of fish and dragon."
Although he had broken through to the peak of the fourth fish-dragon transformation and his cultivation level had increased dramatically, Zhang Ruochen's utilization rate of his true energy was still very low. He could only exert 50% to 60% of his 100% power.
In other words, his current state is not yet stable, and he is not yet able to perfectly display the power of growth. In the fourth transformation of Fish-Dragon, he still has a lot of room for improvement.
Of course, even with his current strength, it has improved a lot compared to before.
Zhang Ruochen took back his true energy, stopped practicing, took out the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword, and started practicing sword skills.
"Swish."
He just raised the sword casually, and suddenly, dozens of sword-shaped sword auras appeared around him.
In an instant, the whole person's temperament became very noble and fierce, as if he had transformed into a sword master in white.
Parting his legs, Zhang Ruochen quickly swung his sword out, dragging out a long sword energy and turning it into a sword path more than twenty feet long, flying into the distance.
The powerful sword energy split the ground into two, leaving a deep crack in the ground.
"Heaven's heart guides the way."
"The heart of the sky is full moon."
…
Reaching the seventh level of Sword One, Zhang Ruochen's understanding of the way of swordsmanship was many times more thorough than before. A simple set of low-grade spiritual-level Tianxin sword techniques were used, and he actually revealed a set of low-grade ghost-level sword techniques.
power.
After wielding the last sword, Zhang Ruochen put away the ancient sword of Shen Yuan again.
"There are ten levels of Jianyi. It stands to reason that the further you go, the harder it will be to practice and the more time it will take. But with the guidance of three sword intent airflows, my cultivation speed in the sword is only as high as
Slowed down a little bit.”
"With my current cultivation speed, I can cultivate Jianyi to the tenth level of perfection in one year at most. If I go faster, it will only take eight months to successfully cultivate."
Not only did his understanding of Jianyi reach the seventh level, Zhang Ruochen discovered that the heart of the sword in the sea of qi had become crystal clear, like a crystal gem, emitting dazzling light.
According to Zhang Ruochen's judgment, this is the realm of swordsmanship, and it is about to break through to the high level of sword heart transparency.
The rapid progress in the realm of swordsmanship must be related to the three streams of sword energy.
Zhang Ruochen was quite satisfied with the results of this retreat.
Half a year has passed in the picture scroll world, and nearly twenty days have passed in the outside world. Zhang Ruochen calculated that today is the first day of March.
On the first day of every month, the ancient sacred mountain will be opened to the disciples of the Holy Tradition.
Whether it was because of curiosity about the ancient sacred mountain or to investigate the Heaven and Earth Altar, Zhang Ruochen had to go for it.
Zhang Ruochen left the picture scroll world and returned to Zixia Lingshan.
"Master Hei, don't add more heat, please, don't add more... don't... I'm almost cooked..."
Outside the room, the sound of Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji crying could be heard.
"Squeak!"
Zhang Ruochen opened the door and walked out, only to see two one-foot-tall triangular copper stoves placed in the courtyard. The copper stoves were filled with various herbs and animal blood, emitting a strong and pungent smell.
Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji were soaking in the boiling copper furnace, and the wailing sounds coming from the furnace were louder and louder than the last.
Xiao Hei arranged two flame formations below the copper furnace. He continuously put fire-attributed spiritual crystals into the formations, making the flames gushing out of the formations become more and more powerful.
The two medicine furnaces made of bronze have burned red. This shows how terrifying the temperature in the furnace is.
The little black man stood up, clasping his paws behind his back, pacing around the two copper furnaces, snorting coldly: "After daily physical training, you must use medicinal blood to temper your body in order to maximize the results of your training. It's hard work.
Only through suffering can one become a master."
"Master Hei, I can't bear it anymore!"
From the furnace on the left, Mujiji's screams could be heard.
Xiao Hei's eyes widened and he said: "If you can't carry it, you have to carry it. You two are so blessed that you don't know how blessed you are. You must know that the medicinal blood in the copper furnace is used by the Dragon Clan to cultivate cubs. In addition to the Dragon Clan,
, I’m afraid only this emperor knows the formula.”
"Of course, some of the medicines and animal blood are too expensive and precious, so they were not included. Therefore, the medicine blood you use only has about 20 to 30% of the potency of the dragon medicine blood. With your fish-dragon first transformation
If your cultivation level can’t handle even 20 to 30% of the medicine’s power, wouldn’t it be a waste?”
"Using the dragon clan's secret medicinal blood to refine your body can not only refine the impurities in the body, but also strengthen your skin, blood, bones, and tendons. Not to mention the second transformation of a mere fish and dragon, even if you have to break through in a short time
The third transformation from fish to dragon is also possible."
Zhang Ruochen walked under the two copper furnaces and asked, "Is the medicinal blood you prepared for them really the medicinal blood used by the Dragon Clan to cultivate cubs?"
"certainly."
Xiao Hei knew that Zhang Ruochen had left the world of picture scrolls, so he was not surprised at all. He raised his head and said: "How can I be ordinary if I take action? The physique of the two of them is too poor. They must take strong medicine to truly grow.
stand up."
"Using dragon medicine blood to refine their bodies, even if they cannot reach the level of dragon cubs, can at least make their bodies several times stronger than other monks of the same realm. Of course, this is also tempering their will. If
If they can't even pass this level, no matter how much resources you give them, they won't be able to become strong."
About an hour later, the medicinal blood in the medicine furnace had dried up, and Xiao Hei finally released Xunhualiu and Mujiji from the furnace.
Both of them were covered in a thick layer of black blood and mud, as if they had turned into two human bodies.
"Don't pretend to be dead! Today is the opening day of the Ancient God Mountain. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next month." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji immediately broke through the black blood mud, and the dragon spirit tiger flew up fiercely, and then fell to the ground with two bangs.
Compared with twenty days ago, the two of them seemed to have been completely transformed. They exuded a powerful aura that only ferocious beasts could have, and a faint golden light appeared on the surface of their skin. They were no longer close to the second transformation of fish and dragon into the realm of "refining skin into gold".
Far.
"Master Hei's methods are really powerful. Although he can torture people to death every time he practices, as long as he uses medicinal blood to refine his body, the injuries on his body will be healed immediately, and his physical strength will obviously increase a lot." Mu.
Jiji said.
Although Mu Jiji is still quite fat, Zhang Ruochen can clearly see that he has lost a lot of weight compared to before.
Xun Hualiu looked at his arms, very excited, and said with a blushing face: "Master Hei is so awesome! This is to train me, Xun Hualiu, to become a peerless master. How can a mere Panglong be my opponent?"
Xun Hualiu picked up Xiao Hei, put her mouth to hers, and kissed him wildly.
With a loud bang, Xiao Hei swatted out with his claws and knocked Xunhua Liu ten feet away. He said contemptuously: "Stay away from me. With your current physique, you are still far away from being a peerless master."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled, and said: "You two, why don't you change your clothes quickly? It's time to go out!"
Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji put on the blue robes of the disciples of the Holy Tradition, and together with Zhang Ruochen, rushed towards the ancient sacred mountain.
The first day of every month is a very important day. Most of the saintly disciples who rarely show up in normal times will gather at the foot of the Ancient God Mountain, making the peaceful Ancient God Mountain become noisy and lively.
Zhang Ruochen came to the gate of the Ancient God Mountain and was slightly shocked by the sight before him. He was surrounded by saintly disciples wearing blue robes. They were a large area of black and white. They were the weakest in cultivation and the first to transform into fish and dragon.
You know, any disciple of the Holy Tradition is a first-class strong man outside.
With so many saint disciples gathered together, they only need to be crushed, and it is estimated that in less than an hour, a saint's sect can be turned into a dead ruin with no survivors.
Among the three, only Mujiji had visited the ancient sacred mountain before and had some understanding of the ancient sacred mountain.
Mujiji said: "Actually, on the first day of junior high school in the past, there were not so many people as today. The main reason is that the sword competition is about to be held, and almost all the disciples who are practicing outside have returned to the sect."
"There are also some secluded saint disciples who have also stopped practicing and started to walk around. First, they are adjusting themselves and want to reach the best condition before the sword competition. Second, they want to find out who their competitors are in advance.
