Zhang Ruochen said calmly: "Wei Longxing's strength is indeed very strong, but compared with the characters on the "Half Saint List", I'm afraid there is still a big gap."
The talented lady of the holy book once said that the characters on the "Half Saint List" all have the strength to compete with the saints.
Obviously, Wei Longxing is not that strong yet.
Wei Longxing's cultivation is indeed only half a step away from becoming a saint.
However, it was not easy for him to break through the last half step.
That's a big hurdle.
Many people paid the price with their lives in order to reach that level.
Wei Longxing's strength shocked everyone present. Even those arrogant candidates for the Son of God kept saying complimentary words, intending to please the future Son of God.
Zhang Ruochen and the other three did not go to the lake, but went straight down the mountain along the mountain path.
Returning to Dingqiu Cave Mansion, Jishui immediately activated the formation.
The light of the formation blocked the entrance to the cave, turning Dingqiu Cave into a completely enclosed space.
Zhang Ruochen noticed something was wrong and immediately asked: "What is uncle master doing? Could it be that you finally decided to practice together with nephew master?"
There was a chill on her body, and she said in a cold voice: "You still want to keep pretending? It's best to tell me honestly, how much are you hiding?"
Gu Linfeng did not attend the banquet of Her Majesty the Saint, which was quite abnormal. Later, he actually understood the "Blood God Diagram" and cultivated ten blood spiritual veins, becoming the second person in the Blood God Sect in thousands of years.
How could Jishui not be suspicious?
"How can my nephew dare to hide even a little bit in front of my uncle?"
Zhang Ruochen had an evil smile on his face, looking unscrupulous. He walked behind Jishui and stretched out his hands to hug her waist.
"Bang!"
A ball of blood energy condensed from Jishui's back and struck Zhang Ruochen in the heart, knocking him away.
Zhang Ruochen fell several feet away, but was not injured. He smiled and said, "Master is really reluctant to hurt me, and he did it so lightly."
"Really? If you dare to touch me again, I will chop off your hands and feet."
Jishui's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen. A jade-white hand pinched Zhang Ruochen's neck, warning Zhang Ruochen with action.
However, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid at all and did not believe that Jishui dared to kill him.
He stretched out a pair of big hands, pinched Jishui's slender jade hand, stroked it gently, and said with a smile: "Uncle Master's hands are really delicate and soft, but I don't know if the skin on other parts of Uncle Master's body is...
Is it so smooth?"
"You...are looking for death..."
Jishui took out his fingers, condensed them into palm prints, and printed them on Zhang Ruochen's chest.
This blow was definitely a cruel one, and Zhang Ruochen's whole body crackled. His body flew out like an arrow from a string, and hit the stone wall with a bang.
Ji Shui was so angry that she was shaking all over. If she hadn't been afraid of the punishment from Dharma King Haiming, she would have beaten Gu Linfeng to pieces with that blow just now.
After opening the formation in the cave, Jishui immediately flew out of Dingqiu's cave, not wanting to stay any longer.
"Uncle Master, when the day comes that I become the Son of God, I will definitely ask my Master to marry you to me. When the time comes, let's see how you can escape from my grasp."
In the cave, Gu Linfeng's proud laughter could be heard.
"Damn it, how can such a person understand the "Blood God Picture"?"
Jishui felt both unwilling and aggrieved.
Her cultivation level was far beyond Gu Linfeng's, but after being teased by Gu Linfeng, she didn't even dare to be cruel to him.
There was even a high possibility that she would have to devote herself to serving him in the future and would have no choice but to let him invade her. Thinking of this, Jishui felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
In the cave.
Zhang Ruochen stood up again, feeling a burning pain coming from his chest, and smiled to himself: "Sure enough, this is the only way to force her away."
The palm Jishui struck just now was indeed quite powerful. If it had been the previous Gu Linfeng, he would have been seriously injured.
However, Zhang Ruochen had the Five Elements Chaos Body and was able to bear it with only a slight pain.
Entering the world of picture scrolls, Zhang Ruochen immediately entered a state of trance and explored the blood spirit veins he had just cultivated.
In the past, there was only one blood spirit vein in his body, but now it has increased to ten.
The ten blood spirit veins connect the blood and the sea of qi, forming ten cycles of circulation, which can continuously transport the holy energy from the sea of qi, nourish the blood, and make the blood and qi in the body become more and more powerful.
"With ten blood spiritual veins, as long as I continue to refine high-grade blood, my physical body will become stronger and stronger, and eventually my physical body will become holy."
Comprehension of the "Blood God Picture" not only allowed Zhang Ruochen to cultivate ten blood spiritual veins, but also allowed him to know how to cultivate his physical body to the holy realm.
In the human body, not only the palms of both hands have seven major acupoints.
In addition, there are acupuncture points in the arms, feet, legs, waist, back, organs, head... there are acupuncture points in various tissues of the body.
Altogether, there are a total of one hundred and forty-four acupoints in the human body.
Only by opening up all the one hundred and forty-four acupoints, absorbing the power of the divine blood, and consecrating all the acupoints can the physical body be sanctified.
Today, Zhang Ruochen has only opened the six acupoints on his left hand and the six acupoints on his right hand, which is less than one-tenth of the acupoints on his body.
"I can't break through the seventh acupoint on my hands yet, but I can absorb the divine blood and sanctify the twelve acupoints on my hands."
Without thinking any more, Zhang Ruochen took out a drop of divine blood and started trying.
The meridians throughout the body began to circulate, absorbing the power of the divine blood.
In particular, the ten blood spirit veins operate at the fastest speed, continuously transporting the power of the divine blood to the Fengchi point on the right hand.
After completely refining a drop of divine blood, Fengchi Point shows no sign of sanctification.
Zhang Ruochen began to refine the second drop of divine blood, the third drop of divine blood...
Until Zhang Ruochen refined the seventh drop of divine blood, the Fengchi point on his right hand finally changed and condensed into a shining point of light, like a star.
Success!
"Sure enough, life is sanctified."
Zhang Ruochen was in a very excited mood.
He could clearly feel that his physical strength had increased and the blood in his body had become thicker.
Over the next half year, Zhang Ruochen began to frantically absorb divine blood, refine the blood, and sanctify the twelve acupoints on both palms.
When sanctifying the first acupoint, Zhang Ruochen only refined seven drops of divine blood.
However, when he sanctified the twelfth acupoint, he had to refine the nineteenth divine blood to succeed.
The twelve acupoints on both palms were completely sanctified, consuming a total of one hundred and fifty-six drops of divine blood.
If you want to sanctify your body, you will definitely consume a lot of divine blood.
That kind of consumption would be difficult for even a medieval family to bear. Zhang Ruochen seemed indifferent. As long as he could become a saint physically, no matter how much divine blood he consumed, it was worth it.
Now, there are six light spots in the palms of Zhang Ruochen's hands, which are dazzling and radiate an astonishing holy power.
"With my current hands, I can use the Seven-Aperture Blood Palm again. The power will be increased by at least 70%, making it more powerful than ordinary holy arts."
During this period of crazy cultivation, coupled with the consumption of the fourth-grade Saint Yuan Dan, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation level has broken through to the fourth-grade semi-saint.
If he had not cultivated ten blood spirit veins, Zhang Ruochen would not dare to imagine that he could cultivate so quickly.
"If I can open the seventh orifice of both palms and sanctify it, then the seven major orifices will be connected into one and form a small cycle. My palm power will become more powerful, just like holding seven stars in my hand.
.”
In order to open the seventh orifice, Zhang Ruochen must first find a holy-level elephant soul and refine it into his right arm.
However, the battle for the Son of God was approaching, and Zhang Ruochen had no time to search for the elephant soul, so he had to give up temporarily.
He is confident that with his current strength, it is no longer difficult to seize the position of the Son of God of the Blood God Sect.
"I have long wanted to teach you the secret method of physical sanctification, but I didn't expect that you actually figured it out first."
Xiao Hei stood not far away and sighed.
Half a month ago, Xiao Hei had returned to the Blood God Cult and told Zhang Ruochen good news and bad news.
The good news is that out of the four secret letters, three were recovered.
The bad news is that the secret letter sent to Kong Lanyou could not be recovered.
Everything was within the scope of Zhang Ruochen's expectations, so he was naturally quite calm.
He originally planned to go to Shengming Imperial City after the battle for the Son of God, and he should use his cousin's identity to see her in person.
"Do you know the cultivation method for physical body sanctification?" Zhang Ruochen was quite surprised.
Xiao Hei's big face almost raised to the sky, and he said with a rather disdainful look: "I know everything and know everything."
Zhang Ruochen smiled, not believing Xiao Hei's words at all, and ignored him, walked out of the picture scroll world, and returned to Ding Qiu Cave Mansion again.
Outside the cave.
When Jishui saw Zhang Ruochen again, he was quite frightened and said, "Has your cultivation level reached the fourth level of semi-saint?"
Zhang Ruochen imitated Xiao Hei's appearance just now, with his hands behind his back and his chin raised to the sky, looking rather disdainful, and said: "I have been practicing in seclusion for a month, and I have finally made some achievements."
Zhang Ruochen looked very much in need of a beating at this moment.
"In just over a month, you broke through from the second-order Semi-Saint to the third-order Semi-Saint, and then from the third-order Semi-Saint to the fourth-order Semi-Saint. How can your cultivation speed be so fast?"
Jishui's state of mind was greatly impacted and he could not calm down at all.
"If so, my uncle agrees to marry me, I will tell him the reason."
Zhang Ruochen grinned and stared straight at Jishui's graceful figure.
Ji Shui snorted coldly, and condensed two masses of blood mist with her hands. White ice spread from her feet to the front of Zhang Ruochen.
When Zhang Ruochen saw Jishui getting angry, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Asking my uncle to marry me is too much. So, let me change my request. How about... my uncle lets my nephew take a look at your face?"
In the end, Jishui did not take action and took back his blood energy.
"If you don't tell me, I can guess that it must be related to the "Blood God Picture"."
Jishui did not take off his bloody hood, nor did he reveal his true face. He just said calmly: "Master has already said that as long as you can seize the position of the Son of God today, you will not only be able to see my true face. Even, I will also be able to see my true face.
It will be yours. So, are you satisfied?"
The calmness in her body has a kind of sadness, which is a compromise with fate. She no longer resists and loses her vitality.
Without becoming a saint, you are just an ant after all, and can only be manipulated by others.
