“Slaughter?” Jiang Yuan pondered these two words. Although the spirit of the palace spoke of it casually, it would certainly be extremely difficult to actually do it.
"The Lord of War grew up amidst slaughter. You must know that the Battlefield of Fallen Gods spans a thousand years, and the Lord of War only took half a year from stepping onto the battlefield to condensing the Blood Spirit. This time is enough for him to rank among the top ten geniuses of the killing path! Moreover, this achievement was accomplished under the premise that the Lord of War possessed the Mind Cultivation Technique and controlled his inner demons. If it were the Lord of War in the future, he might not have even taken half a year!" The Palace Spirit couldn't help but show awe when mentioning the Lord of War, an expression that only a loyal worshipper would have.
"Even such a powerful War Lord needs half a year, so someone at my level would probably need hundreds of years!" Jiang Yuan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Although he didn't know what level a War Lord was, he was certain that they possessed top-tier strength on the battlefield, definitely not at the level of a newbie like him who had just entered the battlefield.
"No, no!"
The spirit of the temple smiled and waved its finger, saying, "The best level to condense a blood spirit is below the ninth rank. Only those who have not yet reached the spirit level can condense a pure blood spirit. Otherwise, the blood spirit will become an evil spirit due to spiritual pollution."
"That sounds very profound, but I'd like to know exactly how to do it!" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Then let me tell you about the Lord of War's past achievements. When he stepped onto the battlefield and obtained 99,999 divine blood powers, the Blood Spirit appeared!" The Palace Spirit was lost in distant memories. It was an era that belonged to countless geniuses. It goes without saying how difficult it was to carve out a illustrious reputation from it.
"You mean the Lord of War only managed to condense a Blood Spirit after slaying 100,000 divine bloods?" Jiang Yuan felt his head buzzing. What kind of hell trial was this? Let alone whether the entire Lord of War's tomb had enough strange beasts for him to kill, even killing 100,000 of them would take forever.
He had previously tested the drop rate of Divine Blood Power, which was even lower than that of Core. Even if it were calculated at 10% of the Core's drop rate, it would still require killing one million alien beasts to gather 100,000 Divine Blood Power, a number that was completely beyond human capability at the ninth rank.
"If it were you, you might need even more!" The spirit of the palace said mockingly. It explained, "Blood spirits need to be judged by killing intent. If the killing intent is not pure, even if you obtain 100,000 strands of divine blood power, it will be in vain!"
"So, the Lord of War gave me an impossible task?" Jiang Yuan pursed his lips, extremely resentful. He had seen the environment inside the Lord of War's tomb. In such a place, let alone a million strange beasts, there wouldn't even be enough to gather ten thousand.
"No, when you accepted the test of the tomb guardian, the beast legion sleeping in the tomb of the Lord of War had already fully awakened!" The spirit of the temple remained calm and continued, "Let me give you a heads-up, a portion of the six beast legions that the Yellow Emperor once tamed are sleeping in the tomb of the Lord of War!"
"Of course, the Blood Elf's assessment is very safe. The Tomb of the Warlord will not allow opponents above the Spirit level to appear, so you can rest assured about that!"
Dian Ling specially comforted Jiang Yuan.
"That's more like it. Otherwise, it would be safer for me to just die on the spot if I were to appear at the Void Spirit Realm!" Jiang Yuan was relieved to hear this. Since he had an opponent, and the opponent was not a strong one, he could use the Five Elements Rings to boost his battle record. As long as he had enough, there would be no problem.
"You're not thinking of infiltrating a flock of sheep and slaughtering everyone, are you?"
Dian Ling caught a glimpse of the subtle smile on Jiang Yuan's lips, and now waited for Jiang Yuan's answer with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?" Jiang Yuan asked back.
The spirit of the temple was taken aback, and could only say, "Permission is granted, but I still wish you good luck first!"
"You're so kind?" Jiang Yuan was surprised. He had gotten to know the spirit of the palace after spending some time with it. Although the spirit of the palace had been strictly following the rules left by the Lord of War, it still had its own emotions. In other words, apart from its duties, the spirit of the palace was no different from an ordinary person.
The spirit of the palace simply smiled and, without explanation, turned its gaze to Xu Yuan, "How about we take a gamble? Let's bet on whether he can find the elixir of immortality!"
"You're betting with me?" Jiang Yuan asked, looking somewhat puzzled.
“I bet he won’t find a trace of beast heart power!” The spirit of the palace stretched out its hand, and a yellow light appeared at its fingertips.
Jiang Yuan habitually gave his assessment, and the power of the beast's heart immediately appeared in the Heavenly Eye under a different name.
Beast Source, Quality: Perfect, can enhance the potential of the Beast race.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, and finally said, "I have nothing to gamble with, so forget it!"
This is the Temple Spirit's home turf. You could say the Temple Spirit can win however it wants, and there's no chance of betting against it.
"Yes, you can bet on taking me out!" the spirit said slowly.
"Aren't you afraid I won't be able to complete it?" Jiang Yuan was amused. It was indeed unexpected that the spirit of the palace would propose such a condition, which even he himself was unsure of.
"Just do your best!" The spirit hesitated slightly, but thousands of years of solitude made it choose to give it a shot.
"Since you've put it that way, it wouldn't be right for me not to take a gamble!" Jiang Yuan agreed, going along with Dian Ling's suggestion.
He wasn't at a disadvantage with this condition. If the spirit of the palace wanted to use his power to get out, that would be exactly what he wanted. After all, the spirit of the palace would also try to help him for his own freedom, which would be a win-win situation!
"Alright, let's wait and see!"
Both of their gazes fell on Xu Yuan. This elder of the Xu family seemed to have come prepared. He kept drawing incomprehensible runes in the air, and occasionally dripped a few drops of his own blood while drawing the runes.
Xu Yuan lingered in the center of the Qiankun Hall for half an hour. During this half hour, Jiang Yuan's Swift Thunder Infusion Technique had already reached the minor completion level. This could be considered the easiest time he had ever improved his proficiency.
Ninth-Order Swift Lightning Infusion (Minor Success), Quality: Perfect. It inscribes the power of lightning in the form of runes on the feet, thereby unleashing the speed of lightning.
Proficiency - Minor Success: 13/1000.
The Lightning Strike Technique, once it reaches the minor mastery stage, undergoes some changes. Firstly, the lightning patterns are more than ten times more complex than the beginner-level lightning patterns, and the difficulty of gathering lightning patterns has also increased.
Of course, the increased complexity and difficulty of the lightning patterns are not necessarily a bad thing, because the speed of the lightning enchantment has clearly increased to a higher level. However, due to the special nature of the lightning enchantment, he still cannot escape the Windwalking Step.
"Wait a minute, if I attach the lightning pattern to the Divine Wings, wouldn't I be unable to use Windwalk?"
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized something. He had found the Lightning Strike enchantment strange before, but his fixed mindset only led him to think of attaching lightning patterns to his feet to increase walking speed. Now, thinking about it, if the Lightning Strike enchantment could enhance his feet, why couldn't it enhance his Divine Wings!
The speed of Divine Wings is not slow, but he dares not use it for too long because of the high consumption. However, with the Lightning Strike enchantment, he can use Divine Wings as gliding wings. Not only will the speed not be reduced, but the consumption will also be greatly reduced.
"I've found the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality!"
