Beast Venom Temple.
The figure lying at the bottom of the blood pool was motionless, resembling an ancient monster in slumber.
A middle-aged man stood beside the blood pool and observed the bottom of it. The man was approximately forty years old. He was thin and weak looking,his face was pale-white and his eyes were sunken. The scholar’s robe that he wore was wrinkled.
This seemingly haggard and sloppy middle-aged man had single-handedly established Beast Venom Temple. He was also the one who devised the blood catastrophe that struck Induction Ground. A lot of policies in God Nation today were planned by him.
He was the master of Beast Venom Temple, Nangong Wulian.
Nangong Wulian stared at the figure lying at the bottom of the blood pool. Without turning his head, he asked, ”How many times have you changed the blood water?”
One of his subordinates quickly replied, ”Six times. We have to keep on increasing the concentration of the blood water. Up till now, the concentration of the blood water has broken the all-time record, so much so that it has surpassed the concentration used for most of the blood fiends. Will it be too dangerous?”
The most important material in the blood water of the blood pool was blood core. Blood core was a material that was of a higher grade than a blood crystal. It could only be produced by using high-level blood fiends. The price of a blood core was not cheap in God Nation as well. For a blood pool like this, the number of blood cores used was astonishingly huge. And Beast Venom Temple was the only department that could spare no effort in carrying out such an operation.
Nangong Wulian’s eyes lit up with a demonic glow, as if he was admiring an exceptional treasure. Without turning his head, he replied, ”Continue to increase the concentration. Don’t underestimate his limit, he will be a legend in Beast Venom Temple.”
His voice seemed to contain an indescribable excitement and anticipation.
After a slight hesitation, the subordinate replied, ”It seems that he does not want to wake up.”
Nangong Wulian burst into laughter as his eyes filled with fervent joy, ”Don’t worry, he will wake up. I have already found the key to wake him up and I have spent a lot of effort finding it.”
All of his subordinates looked at each other with blank looks on their faces.
”Everyone has a weakness. If one loves money, then you give him money. If one values comradeship, then you will use comradeship to move him.”
A water coffin was carried over and placed beside the blood pool. Indistinctly, one could see a female figure lying in the water coffin.
”Even though I don’t know how to make grass-lotus puppets, my understanding towards human anatomy far surpassed Dai Gang’s,” Nangong Wulian muttered. He shifted his gaze from the water coffin to the blood pool and grinned, ”This is my present to you. As long as you are willing to open your eyes and start a new life, she will be yours.”
The blood pool remained tranquil, resembling a smooth mirror. The figure lying at the bottom had no reaction.
Nangong Wulian chuckled and turned around to leave.
After a few minutes, the peaceful blood pool suddenly tossed and turned frantically.
…..
An intense battle was a disaster for the ancient Ye Residence. Its old structures had received irreversible damage and the fragments of its old, moss-covered walls could be seen everywhere.
Upon sensing that Ai Hui had not completely lost the ability to retaliate, She Yu became energized and focused on fighting Old Ling. Gradually, she recovered from the difficult situation she was in previously.
Qing Feng’s awful voice could be heard incessantly, making one feel as if his or her head was going to explode.
The beams of green light from the lotus leaves on the ground became thicker and stronger. These beams of green light converged at the body of Ai Hui.
Faint flames were emitted from Ai Hui’s body. When the beams of green light made contact with the flames, they immediately turned into wisps of black smoke.
What kind of flame was this?
Qing Feng widened his eyes. He could not believe what he had just seen.
Since he was a grass-lotus puppet, he naturally did not have the system of five residences and eight palaces. However, his master was an exceptional genius. Using the technique of making elemental elixirs from dire beasts as a reference, his master produced a man-made elemental elixir for him. Possessing the man-made elemental elixir, Qing Feng could train like a dire beast. Furthermore, after his master made some modifications to him, his training efficiency was higher than the usual dire beasts’.
Elementalists had a wide variety of fighting styles and the system of five residences and eight palaces was just a framework. Everyone used the framework differently and uniquely. The training method and fighting style of a dire beast was much more simpler. A dire beast usually had a few killing moves and these killing moves complemented their natural instincts. Daily training would make their strength terrifyingly powerful.
Qing Feng, being a grass-lotus puppet, had a human head. His killing moves were extremely powerful. With three ultimate killing moves and a unique and unmatched grass-lotus body, he possessed the strength of a Master.
And [Nether Lotus Glow] was one of his three ultimate killing moves.
These lotus seeds were not the usual lotus seeds. They were the lotus seeds of the extremely rare nether lotuses. Reportedly, the nether lotuses only grew in the Yellow Springs of Netherworld. They were exceptionally precious. Of course, no one knew where the Yellow Springs was. In reality, nether lotuses grew on dead lands that were completely devoid of life and vitality. For example, a necropolis.
Dai Gang had obtained the nether lotus seeds in Qing Feng’s body by chance when he was roaming across Wilderness in the past.
The nether lotus seeds might have come from Dai Gang, but [Nether Lotus Glow] was created by Qing Feng himself. Even Dai Gang marvelled at this technique. After so many years, countless experts had been killed by this move.
From Qing Feng’s perspective, even though Chu Zhaoyang’s swordsmanship was rather good, his base level was only at Second Elemental Realm. The moment [Nether Lotus Glow] was unleashed, his hands would be tied and he would only wait to be captured.
As such, when Qing Feng saw his time-tested ultimate killing move facing resistance from Chu Zhaoyang, he was startled.
[Skyheart Flaming Lotus Lamp] was not a very well-known inheritance and not a lot of people practiced it. When Qing Feng saw the weak flames on Chu Zhaoyang’s body, he did not recognize them.
Luckily, he intensified the strength of [Nether Lotus Glow] and the flames on Chu Zhaoyang’s body became much weaker.
Qing Feng heaved a sigh of relief. This was the first time he’d encountered such a situation.
