Chapter 282: Pill Refinement Reform (1/2)
”Honorable High Priest, I learned from my communication with the Land of Sheep that the humans there are very superstitious about an ancient creature called Dragon.”
”Lord Raksha Black Wyrm's image is very similar to that of a dragon. I think that if we use him as a live sacrifice, we can definitely obtain the fanatical faith of those stupid humans. It will be very helpful to Lord Vemacitrin's plan to rule the Land of Sheep.”
The Land of Sheep was the insulting title of the Asura to the human world, indicating that humans would only be at their mercy like reared sheep.
Jiang Li controlled the yaksha clone to give such an explanation. It was reasonable and convincing. It was as if he was whole-heartedly serving Lord Vemacitrin.
The Evil Eye High Priest thought that it made sense. When its huge eyes looked at the black wyrm again, it was as if it was looking at a corpse.
”Lord High Priest, Lord, that yaksha is talking nonsense!”
”He's taking revenge on me. Yes! He must be taking revenge!”
”A few days ago, that yaksha secretly wanted to ask me for a Dragon Blood Egg. After I rejected him, he bore a grudge! It must be because of this!”
The huge black wyrm spoke in human language.
In the Asura World, high-level races and powerful individuals all had intelligence that was not inferior to or even surpassed that of humans. It was not difficult for them to master different languages.
The Raksha Black Wyrm put on a terrified expression as he tried his best to survive.
Unfortunately, no one cared about what he said.
”I've said it before. If he wants something, cooperate with him. Why did you reject him?”
The Evil Eye High Priest was unmoved. Humans were reasonable, while Asura only cared about benefits.
If the Fallen Blood Yaksha could bring him benefits, no one could shake his status.
”But… but that's my Dragon Blood Egg…”
”Damn it, it's all your fault, yaksha. I'm going to eat you! Die with me!”
The huge beast that was curled up on the ground for more than a hundred meters suddenly bounced up and stretched. With a speed that could be seen but the body could not react, it opened its mouth and pounced!
If he was bitten by this bite, not to mention the yaksha clone, even if Jiang Li's main body was here, it would be impossible for him to escape.
However, Jiang Li was not worried. There were people who could not bear to see him die.
Swoosh!
In that short instant, the huge wyrm beast that pounced over with shocking might suddenly stopped in front of the yaksha clone.
The air in front of him seemed to have suddenly turned into a solid amber, imprisoning every inch of the Raksha Black Wyrm.
Only two blood-red eyes were left, revealing an extremely terrified expression.
Jiang Li controlled his clone and turned to look at the Evil Eye High Priest.
In the eyeball that was larger than a house, it was emitting a dazzling purple light.
With a single glance, it froze the wyrm beast whose strength was at least at the Soul Formation realm. It seemed that the strength of this large eye was much more formidable than Jiang Li had imagined.
”What? Don't you want to sacrifice your life for Lord Vemacitrin?”
With a purple gaze, he stared at the wyrm beast and easily subdued it. He even used his mental strength to forcefully control the other party. After tying a few knots in the air, he threw it in front of the altar.
The dignified Raksha Black Wyrm was even more powerless than a loach in a pond.
”Remember, your lives, your wealth, and everything you own belong to Lord Vemacitrin. When he needs it, offering everything is your highest honor.”
Spiritual flames ignited and landed on the Raksha Black Wyrm, causing it to let out an extremely miserable scream.
This was a typical example of killing one to intimidate the rest. Although it was old-fashioned, it was useful. The group of powerful monsters who were still kneeling in front lowered their originally noble heads. They could only tremble and pray that it would not be their turn next.
”Yaksha, go and take charge of the live sacrifice. As my assistant, you can't have such limited strength.”
The Evil Eye High Priest handed the important mission to Jiang Li's yaksha clone again.
This was another huge benefit.
Jiang Li had no reason to be polite.
Under the envious gazes of the other monsters, the yaksha clone only stood on the altar.
”In the name of Lord Vemacitrin, let the live sacrifice begin!”
The blood of madness in the blood pool surged along the ravine. Under the power of the pure blood energy, a dazzling red light shot out from the altar and landed on the unlucky wyrm beast at the side.
The wyrm beast that was frozen by his mental power and could not move was lifted into the air by the red light of the altar.
Then, he let out mournful dragon roars.
The flesh, blood, and life essence were continuously extracted by the red light.
The flesh and blood of the huge, tough, and resistant wyrm beast disappeared piece by piece. Then, because of the exaggerated vitality of the wyrm beast, it grew and healed in just a few breaths.
This repeated over and over again, continuously stripping and growing, growing and stripping, looking strange and cruel.
This situation continued for a period of time, but the Raksha Black Wyrm was not a perpetual motion machine and did not have infinite energy to consume like Jiang Li.
When the losses reached a certain extent, the entire dragon body gradually shriveled and lost its luster.
The Raksha Black Wyrm equivalent to a human Soul Formation cultivator sacrificing the essence it could produce was a huge amount of energy.
A substance-like energy poured down like a waterfall and surged into the altar under the guidance of the red light.
Following the connection, it spread to a distant world.
The power was so strong that it widened the original blood sacrifice passageway. From the level that could only transmit energy, it turned into a small passageway that could pass through physical objects.
The most obvious manifestation of this was in the Great Mountain Alliance's encampment in the Yin Burial Coffin in the continent of the Nine Provinces.
A red light shot out from the mouth of the statue with a thousand hands on its back.
At first, the blood energy and chaotic power surged out, but later on, things like blood, flesh, and mud began to be squeezed out.
At this moment, the transmission channel was still too small. There was not even a decent piece of flesh and blood. It was all blurry flesh and mud. However, even so, it had already made a breakthrough.
Jiang Li summoned the sword cultivator clone, Tang Yan, and the Wood Dragon Rayquaza, asking them to stay under the red light and undergo the baptism of the flesh and blood essence of the Raksha Black Wyrm to receive and transform it into their own.
He did not want to directly come into contact with this extremely polluted energy, but he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity.
He controlled the Nine Nether clone to extend its roots and plunge them into the bodies of the sword cultivator clone and Rayquaza, absorbing the essence energy that had been refined by their bodies.
Then, on the inverted divine tree, a special blood-colored Earth Fruit slowly condensed.
Jiang Li plucked the fruit, and a slightly spicy smell immediately entered his nose.
This Nine Nether Wood was indeed a Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth. It could even turn the power of the Asura World into its own.
Jiang Li swallowed the fruit into his stomach. A warm current immediately spread throughout his entire body, causing his body to feel comfortable and extremely comfortable.
The Nine Nether Earth Fruit directly increased one's cultivation level, similar to the EXP Fruit in the game. It was unable to form a buff, which made Jiang Li rather dissatisfied.
However, there was also something that the Nine Nether Earth Fruit could not replace, and that was that its effect was to directly strengthen Jiang Li's main body, not an amplification effect.
At this moment, this blood-colored Nine Nether Earth Fruit had the same nature, but its function was to strengthen the body and vitality.
After eating a blood-colored Earth Fruit, Jiang Li clearly felt that his basic strength had increased greatly, and his cell vitality had increased greatly.
He opened the interface and saw that there was indeed a considerable increase in both Strength and Constitution. It was not the percentage increase, but the most basic number in the attribute interface.
These numbers represented Jiang Li's main body's foundation, and was not considered a buff.
