7 Chapter 7 – Forth Stage of Body Purification (1/2)
”Thank you Senior” replied Zhu Xuan respectfully. Then he asked, ”Senior, May I know your name?”
”My master named me Shen Long” replied calmly.
Zhu Xuan had a weird look on his face. He couldn't help but think, ”Who would name a light bulb after a dragon”. It was hard for him to not think like that.
He looked up and saw Will-o-wisp flaring with dark purple flame. He cursed himself for thinking like that knowing it can hear his thoughts. He was about to apologise, when it retorted at him, ”I only chose this form because it consumes minimum energy when I appear in this form.”
It didn't give him a chance to speak; it continued ”Okay, since you received all the rewards, it's time for you to leave. When the mission is assigned, I will inform you. Off you go.”
As soon as Will-o-wisp finished speaking, Zhu Xuan disappeared from the dimension. Will-o-wisp transferred into an old wan with white beard. He looked like a kind old man, but when you looked at his eyes, he had a sharp gaze that can pierce through your soul. He wondered, ”This kid is too straightforward with his emotions. Not sure whether that is a good thing or bad thing for him in this world.”
In the outside world, Zhu Xuan opened his eyes. He heaved a sigh of relief and cursed himself loudly ”Why can't I bloody control my thoughts. Thank goodness Senior Long didn't act on his anger, or else I wouldn't have know how I died.”
The snow tiger nearby opened its eyes, hearing the loud voice and transmitted a message to him ”Why are you shouting like an Idiot boy?”
”Nothing Senior. I just thought of something and my emotions got the better of me” replied Zhu Xuan. He calmed himself and started thinking, If I go through the forest with my current strength, I am confident I won't leave the forest alive.
I need to at least reach blood purification stage to travel through the forest safely, and I also need to learn the Body transformation technique before leaving for Qinglu city. He needed more time and a safe place to train. He looked at the snow tiger that is lazily lying down.
He asked the Snow tiger respectfully, ”Senior, will it be okay if I stay here for a while to cultivate?”
It opened its eyes, lifted its head and looked at him for a few moments, and then it transmitted a message with a single word ”Payment”
He understood what it meant, it was asking for his blood. He cursed it in his mind ”You are a big ass tiger demon beast, why are you acting like a shameless businessman”.
But he replied with respect with a smile on his face, ”Of course Senior, I will give the payment.”
He cut his palm again and let the blood out. The snow tiger collected the blood and started purifying the blood by fire.
Zhu Xuan tied the injury in his hand with a cloth, and walked to a nearby tree. He sat under it, closed his eyes and started to read the mantra in detail.
After reading the mantra in detail and understanding fully how need to let the elemental Qi inside his body through certain channel pathways, he started meditating and absorbing the Qi in his body.
He needs to use the elemental Qi and blood of demon beasts to purify his bones and drive out the impurities from his bones. He found from the memory, that cultivators use Demon blood pills created by alchemists with the blood of demon beast and accompanying herbs to pacify the strong effects of blood of demon beasts. Thankfully, he found some Demon blood pills, Healing pills, elemental resources, and some gold coins in the pouches of the dead people who came along with him.
