C29 (1/2)

After cleaning up the battlefield, Wang Liang and the others prepared to return to White Ridge City. Zhou Qing thought for a moment and still refused their invitation.

After bidding farewell to the three of them, Zhou Qing also quickly left.

The thirty-six drops of demon essence blood had already been collected. He wanted to quickly refine his strange acupoints and attempt to break through.

At the same time, in a stone room within the Heavy Sword Sect.

A tall, middle-aged man dressed in a black robe. His long hair was scattered about, and his eyes were bloodshot.

On the stone table in front of him was a shattered piece of Spirit Communication Jade.

”Who killed my Ping'er?”

Bang.

The middle-aged man roared angrily as a violent aura of peak Spirit Condensation Stage swept out from his body. His palm descended, bringing with it a fierce Spiritual Energy. The stone table in front of him instantly exploded and shattered into pieces.

The head of the Heavy Sword Sect, Gu Canghai!

Behind Gu Canghai, there was a middle-aged beautiful woman who was crying. It was the Sect Leader's wife, Hua Ling.

”I, Gu Canghai swear that even if I have to sacrifice my life for the Yellow Springs, I will capture you alive and torture you to death!”

Gu Canghai suddenly stood up and left the stone room after saying those words with a sinister expression.

In the vast expanse of Ancient Forest, Zhou Qing's figure flashed as he flew. Moments later, a short mountain covered with trees appeared in his line of sight.

His face lit up. He walked two steps along the short mountain and saw a dilapidated cave.

He looked around and did not find anything wrong. Zhou Qing thought for a moment and folded some more leaves. He then entered the cave and sealed the entrance with leaves.

Sitting cross-legged, Zhou Qing waved his hand, and a jade box the size of an arm appeared on the ground in front of him.

This item was specially made by him in White Ridge City. There were thirty-six small boxes inside, and each one of them contained a type of demon essence blood.

After dropping the blood into the jade box, Zhou Qing immediately closed his eyes and started to recover his spirit energy.

Half a day passed by in a flash.

As night fell, Zhou Qing finally opened his eyes. A bright light shone as a powerful aura emanated from his body.

After resting and reorganizing, his spirit, energy, and divine had reached their peak state, and the spirit energy he had used in the previous battle had been completely restored.

”You can begin.”

Zhou Qing muttered to himself. After reciting the methods of tempering the strange acupoints and the Soul Concentrating Pills recorded in the Ten Thousand Spirit Curse, he began to circulate his spirit energy.

Within his body, all 361 vortexes of spiritual energy started spinning at the same time, bursting out with a terrifying suction force, and started devouring the spiritual energy in the surroundings.

At the same time, the crashing sounds of a large river could be heard from within Zhou Qing's body. All of the Spiritual Energy in his body was circulating through his meridians.

Gulp.

Zhou Qing gulped down the first drop of demon essence blood.

Blood essence was formed by the gathering of life essence. It contained boundless power, and the Demon's blood essence was even more so.

The Spirit Opening Realm cultivators used demonic blood to refine their muscles and bones, but they only dripped it into the water and then bathed it in their bodies. No one dared to directly swallow it, and if there was an accident, their body would explode and they would die.

However, Zhou Qing directly drank it all!

Boom!

The instant the demon blood essence entered his body, a huge amount of life essence exploded forth. Zhou Qing's face instantly turned red, the veins on his forehead bulging, and a swelling feeling spread throughout his body.

The demon essence blood and the spiritual energy in his body quickly fused together, crazily surging through his meridians. After circulating three times, under Zhou Qing's control, he began to temper the forty-eight unique acupoints in his body!

Pain, a needle-like pain!

At the moment when the Qi point was being washed away by the spiritual energy that contained the demonic blood essence, Zhou Qing's body suddenly trembled, and beads of sweat instantly dripped down.

Gritting his teeth, although he was in incomparable pain, Zhou Qing did not stop. He continued to control his spiritual power to wash away the strange acupoints again and again.

At the same time, he could feel that his forty-eight acupoints had become tougher with the refinement of the demonic blood essence.

Buzz.

The Fate Stone and spirit bone trembled, emitting a faint light. Zhou Qing raised his brow, and then a deep sense of joy immediately appeared on his face.

In order to cultivate in the Soul Condensation stage, one needed to open eight extraordinary meridians and condense the seven spirits that were stored inside the flesh and blood, waiting for the seven souls to form before they could give birth to their Spiritual Awareness.

Zhou Qing's eight meridians had long since been opened, but his upper dantian and soul were both crippled. Thus, his Spiritual Sense had completely collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

But at this moment, he could feel that as the mysterious acupoints were continuously refined, a speck of dust suddenly appeared where his dantian had been. A faint fluctuation came from the dust.

It was Spiritual Sense!

The Soul Condensation Realm cultivation method of the [Allspirit Curse] was completely different from the [Immortal Cultivation Ceremony]. It didn't cultivate the seven souls, but instead cultivated 48 unique acupoints to condense the soul pill.

Cultivators who cultivated the ”Great Ceremony of Cultivation” could only condense seven souls, and only when they reached the Spirit Realm could they open up three dantians, manifest three souls, and then merge with the seven souls in order to condense a life and soul. This required a lot of time.

But Zhou Qing was different.

A soul pill was equivalent to the birth of his life and soul!

Cultivating the [Incantation of Ten Thousand Spirits] meant that in the Soul Condensation Realm, every acupoint that was opened would become stronger and stronger, and a lifeblood soul would be born within it.

Once he broke through to the Spirit Realm, his spirit pill would shatter and his spirit soul would be released!

Zhou Qing knew very well that the speck of dust in his upper dantian was the pill he had formed. However, it was still too small at this moment, so he needed to continue refining his mysterious acupoint to increase it.

As he pondered, the power of the demon essence blood gradually weakened until it was completely used up. Zhou Qing didn't hesitate and directly swallowed the second drop of demon essence blood!

Boom!
