Chapter 144: Spirit Moxibustion (1/2)

Now, the situation inside the coffin had changed drastically. There was no more water on the ground, and instead, a thin layer of dirt covered it.

Because of the increase in space, the Ghost Lantern Fish could no longer provide sufficient illumination.

Jiang Li placed a large amount of glowing plants here that enjoyed the yin attribute spiritual qi.

From the moss, flowers, and vines, the entire coffin space was covered in a dreamlike fluorescent light.

To increase the coffin space's ”vitality”, Jiang Li even threw in quite a number of animal corpses, using the effects of the Yin Burial Coffin to turn them into zombies.

Together with the corpses of the cultivators who had been thrown in the coffin, they were currently wandering aimlessly in the coffin space.

If one did not look carefully, this space really looked like a paradise.

The yin qi inside was so dense that it could kill someone in less than a second, and the dead body would turn into a zombie and join the big family here.

In such an environment, the few Ghost Lantern Fish were still living freely inside.

Last time, in order to capture the Dragon Tortoise, Jiang Li poured out all the Yin Corpse blood in the Yin Burial Coffin.

Later on, he wanted to put in some lake water and continue raising them.

However, after entering, he discovered that all of the Ghost Lantern Fish were floating in the air.

It was still moving about in a leisurely manner as it swam in the dense spiritual qi and yin qi.

Jiang Li was shocked at that time, thinking that they had become spirits.

Later on, he discovered that they could only swim in the water after arriving in the outside world. It was just that they could swim in places with sufficiently dense yin qi and spiritual qi.

To be able to use spiritual qi and yin qi to move about, these Ghost Lantern Fish were indeed worthy of being an ancient species. They were indeed a little magical.

Moreover, those ghosts that had advanced once and could easily slaughter mortals were unable to resist these Ghost Lantern Fish.

They could easily devour an evil spirit.

Even if Jiang Li used the Ghost Wood Art to capture ghosts, he could only restrain more than thirty at the same time.

However, these Ghost Lantern Fish ate them like candy. It was extremely easy to control them.

”I wonder what this ghost-eating fish tastes like when stewed.”

The Ghost Lantern Fish, which had been living comfortably recently and looked a little plump, seemed to have noticed Jiang Li's unfriendly gaze. They swayed their tails and swam farther away from him.

...

Two days later, in Elder He's courtyard, the main seat of the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

Jiang Li knocked twice before pushing the door open and entering.

Inside, Elder He had been waiting for a long time. Beside him sat a beautiful and elegant woman.

Jiang Li had seen that woman before. She was an elder from the neighboring Rejuvenation Hall.

”Master, Elder Yao.”

After Jiang Li greeted them, he entered the quiet room with the two elders as usual.

Without even needing to ask, Jiang Li had already guessed that Elder Yao had definitely come because of the blood essence.

”Do you know what this is?”

Elder He took the porcelain bottle from Jiang Li's hand, opened the bottle, sniffed it, and casually put it aside.

On the other hand, Elder Yao of the Rejuvenation Hall opened a cloth roll as soon as he entered. A row of long needles of varying length were revealed.

”I know this is blood essence, but I have no idea what it does.”

Elder He looked at Jiang Li with slight surprise. He never expected that Jiang Li would actually be able to recognize such a high-grade item.

”This blood essence has many uses. It can be used to refine pills, hatch spiritual eggs, and nourish the bloodline. The last option is especially valuable.”

The fact that it was expensive could be seen from the porcelain bottle containing the blood essence. The material was of a quality that Jiang Li had never seen before.

”Elevating the bloodline, could it be… I can use it for dragon blood?”

Jiang Li was stunned as he recalled this matter.

The existence of the Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo could allow Jiang Li to create a drop of dragon blood every hundred days.

At first, Jiang Li was excited for a period of time. However, later on, he realized that the duration of a hundred days was still too long for him.

Perhaps when he reached the Foundation Establishment realm, he would not even be able to produce a drop of this dragon blood. It would be better to go somewhere and obtain a few more buffs instead. After that, he gradually forgot about this matter.

However, he did not expect that although he was not anxious, Elder He had always taken his matters to heart and helped him obtain this bottle of blood essence during the rewards of the sect martial competition.

”Yes, you'll use it for dragon blood.”

”The bloodline of dragon descendants has gotten too thin now. It's too difficult for a Dragon Tortoise to possess dragon blood even if it's only a drop.”

As he spoke, Elder He suddenly approached Jiang Li, and then the flood dragon tattoo on his thick left arm slowly lit up.

Immediately, Jiang Li felt as if he had been targeted by a peerless ferocious beast, and his body involuntarily trembled.

As for his blood, it became abnormally excited. The flow speed increased and the temperature rose. Soon, the feeling of being suppressed was eliminated, and it even brought a certain degree of attribute enhancement to Jiang Li.

”This is?”

Jiang Li was slightly surprised. When had such a force been hidden within his body?

Although it was not very strong, in terms of quality, it seemed to be very high-end.

At the very least, there was no other power in Jiang Li's body that could be used to break through the pressure.

”This is the dragon blood.”

”There's no need to doubt it. There is indeed a bit of dragon blood in your body now. I noticed it a few days ago.”

Elder He did not wait for Jiang Li to ask further and directly spoke.

At the same time, he pointed at the flood dragon tattoo on his left arm.

There was more than one beast mark on Elder He's body. This flood dragon tattoo was only one of them.

”So Master, you also have dragon blood.”

Jiang Li was slightly surprised. He had originally thought that he was extremely special, but he understood how the other party had sensed this trace of dragon blood that even Jiang Li did not notice.

”What? Do you think you can surpass your master with a Dragon Tortoise?”

”When I, your master, was all-powerful, you were still nowhere to be found.”

Elder He specially lowered his voice. Several terrifying demonic beasts roared in his throat non-stop. In modern society, he would be considered a super vocalist.

”Yes, yes, yes. Master is mighty. I will definitely go to the Scripture Storage Pavilion to borrow Master's life biographies and study hard.”

Elder He smiled confidently after Jiang Li praised him. Elder Yao, who was still preparing by the side, rolled her eyes speechlessly in her heart when she heard this.

”Although you already have a bit of dragon blood, don't celebrate too soon. At that time, the bloodline of the Dragon Tortoise was thin. Although the dragon blood in your body was refined, the speed at which it was nurtured was too slow.”
