Chapter 225 Blood Magic
If a cultivator from the Unloading Workshop needs to go out, he or she must go to Liao Gang to make a record, and they must go out in pairs.
Seeing that the cultivators in the unloading workshop didn't seem to like going out, Ji Rong and Shan Wuleng followed suit and stayed quietly in the workshop.
As Shan Wulai spent more time there, he not only became familiar with the little steward Zhu Tongzi who did odd jobs, but also with Hu Shiba, who lived next door and was also a tiger cultivator, and Tang Shiwu, a dragon cultivator.
The two eagle cultivators who had previously drunk with him and called him brother went mad due to excessive killing. It is said that they went mad because they did not cultivate blood magic.
The bear cultivator, after drinking too much wine, was killed by a passing cultivator who plucked out his core.
After these two incidents occurred, Liao Gang specifically brought them up again.
That day, Liao Gang kept Shan Wu and Ji Rong alone. He affectionately embraced them and gave each of them a jade tablet, saying, "You two have done a good job. I, the Pig Lord, have specially kept you here to bestow upon you a great fortune."
This blood technique was modified by Blood Phoenix Maiden, a disciple of the Golden Cauldron Goddess. Unlike other blood techniques, this one allows us to maintain a clear mind and ascend to the Saintly Realm as long as we continuously absorb blood energy.
Ji Rong nodded slightly to Shan Wuwei, then opened her mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and put on a grateful expression, saying, "Thank you very much, Chief Steward. No wonder I haven't been able to rest well lately. I suppose it's because my cultivation level is low and I've killed too many people, which has affected me."
Liao Gang nodded and said, "That's right. If we cultivators kill only for food and drink, then we have no qualms about it."
But now we are killing for others, and killing without replenishing the body is detrimental to the spirit.
"If you cultivate this blood magic, things will be different. We can suck a mouthful of essence blood while slaughtering living beings. Doing so will not only clear our minds but also accelerate our cultivation level."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately adopted a longing expression and said, "Thank you for thinking of us, Chief Steward. If we can cultivate this method, we will definitely thank you properly."
Then, Ji Rong took Shan Wu back to her own hut and began to read the jade tablets carefully.
However, Ji Rong's way of reading was different. As soon as she entered the room, she gave Shan Wu a wink.
Once Shan Wu erected an isolation barrier, Ji Rong transformed into a tree trunk and used the golden leaves to imprint the blood technique onto it. Afterward, a small fork appeared on the leaf vein where the "Refining Spirit Scripture" was recorded.
Ji Rong turned to look at Shan Wudao: "Uncle, I possess a profound blood technique called the 'Spirit Refining Scripture,' the ancestor of all blood techniques. It can transform blood into spiritual energy, and all things into spiritual energy. Would you like to learn it?"
Shan Wu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he quickly became dejected and said, "Don't bother. Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't understand."
Ji Rong laughed and said, "Try it, Uncle. If we keep killing like this, even if neither of us gets into trouble, Liao Gang will become suspicious. The blood technique that Liao Gang gave us has gone astray, and we must never learn it."
If you succeed this time, you can say that you were inspired by the blood technique and have mastered it.
It's okay if you don't learn it.
Shan Wu nodded obediently, relaxing his mind and letting Ji Rong's giant golden leaf envelop him and slap him hard on the top of his head. Then, another "Spirit Refining Scripture" appeared in Shan Wu's mind.
...All things possess a spirit, and all can become spirits...
Shan Wu lay prostrate on the ground, pondering deeply. Perhaps it was because Ji Rong had been reading to him for many days, and he had gained a lot of experience following Ji Rong, coupled with the environment of the unloading workshop as a source of inspiration.
Shan Wujing miraculously calmed down. He seemed to understand the principle of simplicity in the great way. He was able to gradually internalize the "Refining Spirit Scripture" in his mind. It was as if the door to knowledge had been opened for him, allowing this method to operate on its own within his body.
Seeing that Shan Wu was already in a meditative state, with vortexes of spiritual energy constantly swirling around him, Ji Rong simply maintained the tree trunk, covered Shan Wu with golden leaves, and went to sleep.
When Ji Rong woke up, he saw Shan Wu staring at him with bright, sparkling eyes. He said happily, "Nephew, I've become smarter! Haha, I've become smarter! I've learned it this time!"
However, Shan Wu used a long chain of spiritual energy to grab a ball of energy in the air and clumsily peeled the spiritual energy out of it.
Ji Rong was filled with joy upon seeing this.
Although Shan Wu was not very skilled at using the spiritual energy chain, he was able to successfully separate the spiritual energy, which clearly showed that he had learned it!
That makes things much easier!
Ji Rong was secretly pleased. Knowledge is wealth! If used properly, why should Liao Gang not fall at the feet of this top-tier blood technique?
Overjoyed, she immediately transformed back into a bird, stretched her neck, tilted her head back, and grinned, revealing her interlocking white teeth, laughing loudly.
Seeing Ji Rong so happy, Shan Wu became even more smug.
He flicked his tail, opened his blood-red mouth, and howled "Awooo!" at the rooftop.
After the bird and tiger finished roaring, Ji Rong asked Shan Wudao, "Uncle, did you go to work?"
Shan Wu shook his head: "I didn't go. If I leave, who will protect you?"
Ji Rong said solemnly, "So that's how it is. We've already cultivated such a good blood technique, so we should hurry up and get to work."
They immediately removed the cover and opened the door, where they saw Jiao Shiwu and Hu Shiba crouching furtively in the corner.
Ji Rong's eyes were slightly cold, but she spoke warmly, "Did you two come to have a drink with us? We're in a hurry to get to work."
Upon hearing this, Hu Shiba quickly ran away, leaving Jiao Shiwu staring blankly at Ji Rong and the other two. Ji Rong ignored him and used her wings to pull Shan Wu towards the slaughterhouse.
As soon as they entered, Ji Rong and Shan Wu were surrounded by everyone. Liao Gang squeezed through and led Ji Rong and Shan Wu to his neat and quiet room.
Liao Gang burned incense and poured tea with great ceremony. As soon as he sat down, he grinned with a mouthful of fangs and said, "What kind of divine technique have you two cultivated to make such a commotion and even have divine light flashing?"
After talking with Shan Wu, Ji Rong realized that she had slept for five days. During those five days, a huge vortex of spiritual energy surrounded the small room where Ji Rong and Shan Wu were, constantly surging into it.
The nearby cultivators all came to watch the spectacle, but after being reprimanded by Liao Gang, they reluctantly returned to their work.
As soon as Jiao Shiwu and Hu Shiba finished their work, they squatted in the corner to peek again. Although no one could see the real situation inside, the scene of golden light flowing in the room was deeply imprinted in the minds of all the cultivators.
Among these cultivators, Liao Gang was the most excited. He was appointed as the manager of the unloading workshop because of his quick wit, and he immediately figured out that Shan Wu and Ji Rong must be cultivating divine techniques.
When Ji Rong saw Liao Gang ask this question, she put on a happy face and said, "We started cultivating after we obtained the method that day, and before we knew it, we had lost track of time. I thought only two days had passed."
Shan Wu was genuinely happy, and he grinned sheepishly, saying, "This blood technique is indeed profound; I learned it in no time!"
