The sun and the moon pass by, time flies, and twenty years pass by in an instant.
Deep in the Dead Sea Cave, Lu Kun slowly opened his eyes.
He took a look at his skin and bones, which looked the same as twenty years ago, and sighed with regret.
An incomparable surge of blood surged out from his bones, and his withered body became plump as if dew had appeared after a long drought.
The dry internal organs gradually expanded, showing a bloody color full of vitality.
The lavender tendons attached to the bones also derived muscle fibers. Moistened by the dark golden blood, they built sharp and angular muscle lines.
In a dozen breaths, Lu Kun regained his burly and strong body.
There was helplessness in his eyes.
"I have already perfected the method of concentrating flesh and blood, but why do I keep getting stuck at 90%?"
"Only 90% of the visceral essence can be condensed into essence and blood by me, and then transferred into the bones. And the tendons of the skeletal muscles of the whole body can only be integrated into the bone treasure by 90% under the smelting of essence and blood."
"No matter what method I use, I can't concentrate the last 10% into my bones. What's the reason?"
After pondering for a moment, Lu Kun raised his hands again and squeezed his fists slightly. The air between his palms seemed to be squeezed by a terrifying force, turning into powerful energy that spread out and hit the surrounding walls, making a rumbling sound.
The sound stirred up waves of demonic energy.
"My physical strength has increased a lot. I have at least 350,000 kilograms of strength. My cultivation speed is faster than I imagined. After forty years of cultivation, the material of the bone treasure has increased by a full 40%, which is close to the mature stage."
The difference is only 10%."
When he thought of this, he did not show any joy, but instead frowned.
"Not long ago, thunder attribute mana accidentally resonated with blood magic power, and the two actually had a tendency to merge. Although under my control, the power of annihilation produced was not much different, but as the resonance becomes more frequent,
appear, the trend of integration will become bigger and bigger.”
"As the material of the bone treasure approaches the mature stage of the magic weapon, the effectiveness of the power of annihilation also begins to decrease. The effects of the recent blood demon bone refining techniques have been reduced by almost half."
Lu Kun couldn't help but have a headache: "These should be the conditions caused by the nine-star constitution."
"The nine-star physique allowed me to refine the blood magic power in the middle stage of pill formation in one breath, which is equivalent to the magic power of the physical body. The annihilation power produced by the two is extremely powerful, which is why the bone treasure has improved so quickly in the past forty years."
"With good there must be bad."
"Because the blood magic power and the physical mana power are in the same realm and have coexisted for a long time, they naturally resonate. If the blood magic power is in the early stage of pill formation and the magic power is in a strong state, the two will only fight to the end."
"I have to stop this trend from happening, otherwise the power of annihilation will be greatly weakened."
"Without the power of annihilation, relying solely on mana nourishment, even if the bone treasure is only half a percent away from its maturity, the time it takes is staggering."
He looked out of the cave, counted with his fingers and said:
"It has been more than 20 years since I returned to the Blood Refining Sect. With Zhang Yiyang's top-notch qualifications and his peak cultivation level in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, there should be no problem."
"The True Demonic Thunder Control Technique that I exchanged back then mentioned that after the magic of thunder is formed into a pill, it will have more powerful supernatural powers. I just happened to look up the pill formation technique and deduced it backwards. Maybe it can hinder the power of thunder.
Resonance with blood magic."
“Let’s study the bottleneck of blood and flesh concentration after we enter the later stage of Bone Treasure.”
After thinking about it, Lu Kun simply packed up and left the Dead Sea Demon Cave.
…
Three months later, the Blood Refining Sect.
Lu Kun transformed into Zhang Yiyang, first went to the mission hall, handed in a few random missions, and then came to the Blood Refining Sect's Scripture Cave.
"Hey, is that you Zhang Yiyang?"
As soon as he entered the entrance of the Sutra Cave, a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged behind the teleportation circle opened his eyes and made a sound of surprise.
Lu Kun raised his head and looked up, with a look of surprise on his face. This middle-aged man who looked tall and thick was none other than Lei Batian, who had crossed paths with him several times.
Lei Batian was already in the late stage of foundation building when Lu Kun entered the Blood Refining Sect. He and he carried out the mission of exterminating the Ouyang family, and later entered the Yiyuan Secret Realm together, and were one of the few surviving disciples.
Lu Kun laughed loudly and said: "Congratulations to Uncle Lei for achieving the Golden Elixir and entering the elixir-forming stage."
Lei Batian looked at Zhang Yiyang in front of him attentively, and found that his cultivation had reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation establishment, and it seemed that he could enter the late stage of foundation establishment at any time, and his expression changed slightly.
If he remembers correctly, Yi Yang started at the age of eighteen, became a Blood Demon at the age of twenty-four, and now reaches the peak of the foundation-building stage at the age of ninety. It is very likely that he will become a Blood Demon at the Core Formation stage in the future, and his future is limitless.
"It seems that Brother Zhang has been cultivating hard these years. His cultivation has progressed so fast. He is worthy of being a top-notch blood demon." Lei Batian's tone was very polite, and he did not show off to Zhang Yiyang because he had entered the pill formation stage.
Lu Kun shook the scar on his face and grinned: "Uncle Lei is so complimentary. Xu Zihang has higher qualifications than my nephew, and his current cultivation level must be much higher than mine."
Upon hearing this, Lei Batian shook his head and said: "Xu Zihang has been in seclusion since the end of the One Yuan Secret Realm. He has never appeared in the door. However, according to my estimation, he is at most in the late stage of foundation building, which is not much different from my brother."
Lu Kun was slightly stunned. He originally thought that he rarely appeared in public, only appearing once in twenty years, but he did not expect that Xu Zihang was more ruthless than him and had been in seclusion for more than forty years.
"By the way, Uncle Lei, my nephew is going to the second underground floor to refer to some exercises to see if they can help with breakthroughs in cultivation."
Lei Batian was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and directly activated the teleportation circle on the second level. The Blood Demon had a special identity, so he could naturally enter the level of the pill formation stage.
"Thank you, Uncle Lei." Lu Kun raised his hand and entered the second level through the teleportation array.
There are fewer bookshelves here than on the first floor, and he quickly found the True Demonic Thunder Control Technique.
Back then, in the Yiyuan Secret Realm, there was a strong man named Chen Hao in the late stage of pill formation who had the talent of thunder spirit root and practiced the True Demon Control Thunder Art. However, Lu Kun had no chance to fight with him and he was not very clear about this magic thunder.
The magic power of the alchemy stage of the exercise.
Now after a brief browse, he found that there was a secret technique for refining thunder magic power, which was of great help to him. If he reversed it, it might be able to hinder the resonance of his thunder magic power and blood magic power.
When Lu Kun saw that there was also a method for refining magic weapons, a bright light flashed in his mind.
"Why didn't I expect that after the blood magic power reaches the level of pill formation, it can completely refine the magic weapon."
"I deduced the miniature magic circle of the magic weapon in the true formula, combined with the high-level blood magic skill, I can refine a magic magic weapon that specifically restrains the magic power of thunder, and then refine it with blood magic power."
"Although I don't have a dantian and can't put the magic weapon into my body, the blood magic power can exert the power of the magic weapon."
"The blood magic power is greatly increased with the power of the magic weapon, and the conflict with the thunder attribute magic power is more intense. The power of annihilation may be further increased."
Thinking of this, Lu Kun took the jade slip and returned to the teleportation circle in the Scripture Cave. Under Lei Batian's strange eyes, he spent 12,000 contribution points to copy the true magic of controlling thunder.
This number of contribution points is an astronomical figure for other foundation-building disciples, but for a blood devil like Zhang Yiyang, it is not too exaggerated. After all, the basic reward of the One Yuan Secret Realm back then was 10,000 points.
After leaving the Scripture Cave, Lu Kun controlled the flying magic weapon while carefully pondering the true magic and thunder secrets in his mind, intending to prepare the refining of the magic weapon.
But not long after Lu Kun flew out of the Core Mountain Gate, a strange movement appeared in his soul. The Blood Refining Sect's Oath Stone restriction hidden deep in his soul suddenly dissipated completely, as if it had never appeared before.
.
Lu Kun stagnated in the air, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"What's going on? The restrictive power of the Oath Stone has been inexplicably lifted?"
