After an incense stick's time, as Chu Qinghe incorporated the "Steps to Immortality" into the wood carving using wood carving techniques, Chu Qinghe did not stop at all, but instead picked up a new piece of wood and began carving again.

This time, as the wood carving was nearing its end, Chu Qinghe paused slightly with his carving knife. After adjusting his breathing and circulating his internal energy, he made another cut.

This time, however, while carving wood, Chu Qinghe's eyes sometimes turned deep blue, sometimes blood red, and sometimes purple.

During the process, patches of ice flowers actually condensed around Chu Qinghe.

If someone were to get within a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of Chu Qinghe, they could even feel a bone-chilling cold emanating from his body.

After the new wood carving was completed, Chu Qinghe followed the same method as when he used the "Nameless Person Card" before, sending the power of heaven and earth in his body, as well as all of Di Shitian's power, into the Evil Emperor Relic after reversing the "Absorption Technique".

This process takes even longer than using the "Nameless Person Card".

After Chu Qinghe poured the last bit of his life essence into the Evil Emperor's Relic, there was less than a quarter of an hour left before the character card's time limit expired.

After putting the Evil Emperor's Relic away again, Chu Qinghe gently shook his head.

"Unfortunately, the phoenix blood contained in Di Shitian in this character card has completely fused with his true essence and flesh. It will take at least three days to extract this phoenix blood from his body. What a waste!"

This is different from the character cards Chu Qinghe used in the past.

This Emperor Shitian also possesses the energy of phoenix blood, and its content is even hundreds of times greater than that of Chu Qinghe and Dongfang Bubai.

Chu Qinghe used a character card, so naturally, like Di Shitian, he also had a large amount of phoenix blood in his body.

If the phoenix blood in Di Shitian's body could be extracted, it would be of great help to Chu Qinghe and the others.

But at this very moment, the phoenix blood within Chu Qinghe's body had already completely permeated every part of his body.

Even with Chu Qinghe's medical skills, it would be impossible to extract the phoenix blood from the body in a short period of time.

Of course, at this time, Chu Qinghe's blood also contained a portion of phoenix blood.

But it doesn't contain much.

That is, the amount of phoenix blood that Chu Qinghe had previously used to refine the Phoenix Blood Hundred Pattern Pill.

It's a bit unreasonable for Chu Qinghe to draw his own blood just for this little bit of Phoenix Blood.

After secretly regretting it, Chu Qinghe then took the initiative to deactivate the "Emperor Shitian Character Card".

A few breaths later, as Chu Qinghe's true essence re-emerged within his body, he slowly picked up the first wooden carving that had been carved on the table.

After Chu Qinghe infused his true essence into the wood carving, as the true essence returned to Chu Qinghe's brain, streams of information entered Chu Qinghe's brain along the way.

At the same time, a system notification sound appeared in front of Chu Qinghe.

[Ding! Mid-grade Dao-rank martial art detected – "Soaring to Immortality Steps". Do you wish to learn it?]

"As expected, it is a mid-grade Dao level."

Seeing the prompt from the system, Chu Qinghe narrowed his eyes and then directly chose to learn.

[Ding! It has been detected that the host has already mastered the Heavenly Rank Upper Grade "Soaring to Immortality Steps". The Dao Rank Middle Grade martial art "Soaring to Immortality Steps" has automatically changed to the "Proficient" level.]

Chu Qinghe was not surprised by the system notification.

After all, the "Steps to Immortality" he had learned before was only a high-grade Heaven-rank technique.

Now that the rank has been upgraded, it is only natural that it needs to relearn and master the skills.
