Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 130: Chapter 112: Following the Clues and Catching Them All (Two-in-One)_4

It seems to have reached some kind of limit.

The surrounding confidants all knelt and shouted in unison: ”Congratulations, my lord! May my lord be blessed with rewards! With this success, you will surely receive great rewards from the two Elders!”

Ning Qi laughed heartily and waved his hand: ”Someone, quickly send a message to invite the Fatty Elder!”

There was some anticipation in his eyes. ...

In the stronghold.

Ning Qi was alone.

Even with the Body Shifting and Bone Changing technique, there was still the possibility of saying too much and making mistakes.

He silently awaited the arrival of the Fatty Elder.

The blood pool reaching its limit is a normal procedure, and that Fatty Elder wouldn’t have any suspicions.

One day later.

A figure appeared above the stronghold, treading on air as they approached.

This figure had his hands behind his back, a fat head and big ears, fair skin, and a certain arrogance in his eyes. Ning Qi had already brought a group of subordinates waiting here, secretly observing the Fatty Elder, sensing his aura. ”Just an ordinary Celestial Human Realm, probably with strength on par with the Carefree Monarch.”

With thoughts turning in his mind, his actions did not slow. ”We have met the Fatty Elder!”

The Fatty Elder snorted lightly through his nose in response, his gaze stopping on Ning Qi, finally praising him: ”Lei, you’ve done well. If you keep it up, I will recommend you to become the Blood Rain Tower Master.”

Since its establishment, the position of Tower Master has always been vacant, making the four top assassins very envious.

Ning Qi feigned an appearance of being ecstatic yet striving to restrain himself: ”To serve the Elder is my duty; I dare not aspire for anything more!”

The Fatty Elder waved his hand casually: ”Take me to the blood pool.”

Ning Qi hurriedly led the way.

They entered the deepest part of the underground palace where the blood pool was located, while the others all respectfully withdrew. The door closed, leaving only Ning Qi and the Fatty Elder.

It was routine; others only knew to collect blood for the pool but did not know its purpose. Only core experts of the Primordial Core Realm knew of the Blood King Gu’s existence.

The Fatty Elder surveyed the blood pool in front of him, teeming with a dark and vibrant life force, his eyes burning with intense eagerness. ”Good! Well done! Much better than Zhao Dong and those useless ones!”

He did not hold back his praise.

Ning Qi hurriedly complimented in return.

Then.

He saw the Fatty Elder carefully take out a bamboo tube from his bosom. This bamboo tube was unique, looking like it was made of purple jade, seemingly having a nourishing effect.

The Fatty Elder muttered rapidly under his breath, speaking in a language that was not the Great Yan Official Language.

Ning Qi’s spirit was stirred, listening carefully to the variations in his syllables and paying attention to the fluctuations in his aura, gaining some understanding in his heart that this should be the Gu Manipulation Technique, which wasn’t difficult.

Then a Gu insect, entirely blood-red, lazily crawled out from the purple jade bamboo tube.

He saw it clearly.

The Gu insect was about the size of an adult’s thumb, as if made of blood-colored agate, with strange patterns on its back resembling eyes, and it had three pairs of transparent wings, though the last pair looked somewhat weak and small. ”Is this the Blood King Gu?”

As soon as the Blood King Gu appeared, the abundant life force it emitted made Ning Qi’s eyes light up.

He knew his speculation was correct; this was definitely an excellent substitute for a relic, even more effective than a relic.

At this moment.

The previously lazy Blood King Gu, once it emerged, seemed attracted by the dark life force within the blood pool, immediately becoming active.

With a shake of its wings, it had already landed in the blood pool.

Then it delved deeper.

Ning Qi could feel the previously dark life force in the blood pool weakening at a rate visible to the naked eye, being consumed by the Blood King Gu. Although he couldn’t see the Blood King Gu, Ning Qi could feel the burgeoning life force within it, even a power transforming in quality, which was the fluctuation of the Power of Heaven and Earth. ”This Blood King Gu seems to have a filtering and purifying role?”

Ning Qi vaguely already understood the use of this Blood King Gu.

If the Blood King Gu matured, it could probably serve as a supreme treasure that could help one break into the Celestial Human Realm.
