Chapter 142: Chapter 115: Uncertain Later Years of the Martial Saint, Success of the Blood Jade Pill (Two-in-One Large Chapter)_4

The next day.

Ning Qi left without a sound.

The storytelling shack was still there, and only after several days of not seeing Ning Qi did some people realize he had already left, inevitably feeling a sense of regret and loss, now having one less companion to listen with. The blind old man sighed softly and continued recounting the stories of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint. ...

After leaving the small town, Ning Qi arrived at a city near True Martial Mountain.

He had previously sent word to Luo Wentian to have the auxiliary materials for refining the Blood Jade Pill prepared and delivered to this place.

By the time Ning Qi arrived, the auxiliary materials had already been delivered.

In the small courtyard.

Ning Qi laid out each precious herb and casually picked up an alchemy furnace. For him, alchemy didn’t require external assistance.

Only the main ingredient was left.

He took out two Purple Jade Bamboo Tubes from his bosom, opening one first. The Blood King Gu appeared, circling around Ning Qi. Even though Ning Qi controlled it with a special pitch, the Blood King Gu seemed to have a hint of frenzy.

Ning Qi had already noticed during this period that the Blood King Gu became more ferocious after maturing.

If he were to let the two Blood King Gu’s be together, they would probably go completely out of control.

Even so, the current Blood King Gu kept circling the other Purple Jade Bamboo Tube containing the Blood King Gu.

With a thought, Ning Qi solidified it in mid-air with Gang Qi.

Over this period, he had researched the method of using the Blood King Gu.

Its essence lay in the three pairs of wings, while its vigorous body was secondary. Ordinary people wouldn’t know how to use the Blood King Gu even if they acquired it.

Fortunately, this was not difficult for Ning Qi.

In the past month, he occasionally studied the Blood King Gu and comprehended special pitches he learned from the Fat and Skinny Elder, thus creating a method to extract the essence blood from within the Blood King Gu.

At this moment.

His Gang Qi vibrated at a special frequency, transmitting a special pitch only the Blood King Gu could hear into its mind.

In the next instant.

Strands of denser blood patterns emerged on the surface of the Blood King Gu, gathering towards the three pairs of wings.

As time passed.

The three pairs of wings had become akin to a work of art, their blood jade wings were breathtakingly beautiful, yet the most captivating was the incredibly dense energy essence.

And the Blood King Gu’s eyes had completely lost vitality.

Ning Qi casually plucked off the three pairs of wings, and with a tremor of Gang Qi, the remnant body of the Blood King Gu turned to ashes, dissipating between heaven and earth.

In Ning Qi’s eyes, there was a bit of anticipation.

He didn’t hesitate.

Start refining pills!

The Gang Qi turned into an incredibly fierce flame, yet it changed according to Ning Qi’s will. Each herb was refined, and the entire process of alchemy was as beautiful as a painting, though, unfortunately, no one could witness this scene.

A two-hour period later.

The pills were formed.

Ning Qi’s expression shifted, and Gang Qi enveloped the entire courtyard, preventing any disturbances from leaking out.

He opened the alchemy furnace, and a blood-colored radiance surged out, bursting with vigorous life energy. ”Six Blood Jade Pills.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Qi consumed one, then operated the Heaven and Earth Grinding Wheel Quenching Gang Technique to begin refining Gang Qi and cultivating.

Rumble!

A rumbling sound that only Ning Qi could hear echoed, and the Jade Liquid Sea shook, with streams of seawater pouring into the grinding wheel for quenching. However, after taking the Blood Jade Pill, the grinding wheel took on a blood-colored radiance, and the quenching efficiency greatly increased.

Ning Qi felt the efficiency of the quenching process was much faster than before, feeling joyful. ”Similar to the Golden Jade Pill, a single Blood Jade Pill can accelerate my cultivation for a month’s time, but with better effects.” ”At this pace... ten Blood Jade Pills would be enough for me to naturally reach the Primordial Core Realm.”

Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Refining one Blood King Gu yielded six Blood Jade Pills, leaving two extra.

At that time, whether to keep them as heritage for the True Martial Sect or for other uses would be up to him.

However, he did feel a bit emotional.

Indeed, he surpassed others in the same realm by too much. One Blood King Gu was enough for an ordinary Primordial Core Realm practitioner to advance to the Celestial Human Realm, but for him, two could barely allow him to break through to the Primordial Core Realm, and it merely accelerated the process rather than directly breaking through.

This was normal.

After all, Ning Qi, at the Jade Liquid Realm, already had strength far beyond an ordinary Celestial Being, so naturally, breaking through was difficult.

That said, even if there were pills that could directly help break through, Ning Qi wouldn’t consume them. He needed to ensure his foundations had no defects, so whether it was the Golden Jade Pill or the Blood Jade Pill, Ning Qi pushed for a direction that accelerated cultivation rather than directly breaking realms.

Ning Qi felt relaxed.

Following the same pattern.

He successfully refined the other Blood King Gu into six Blood Jade Pills as well.

In this way.

Even if the Southern Border Alliance had heaven-reaching methods, they could not trace the whereabouts of the Blood King Gu.

Currently.

The Southern Border Alliance hadn’t shown any signs of action, presumably because they hadn’t yet noticed that the Fat and Skinny Elders had lost contact.

But if they did react, they would ultimately suspect the Demon Sect.

That unique poisonous martial art could be traced with a little check. After all, Elder Wang had used it at True Martial Mountain before. Although Ning Qi deliberately erased his traces, he thought the Southern Border Alliance’s methods should be able to uncover the truth, or they wouldn’t deserve to be compared with the Demon Sect.

As for Zhuang Chen escaping to the True Martial Sect after Divine Sword Sect was destroyed.

This might cause suspicious towards the True Martial Sect.

But it might also make the Southern Border Alliance think that the Demon Sect was using someone else’s power to kill.

After all, on the surface, the True Martial Sect’s strength was far from enough to annihilate the Southern Border Alliance’s strongholds, even with True Man Tianjian included, it would still be challenging. The means and strength displayed by the Fat and Skinny Elders wouldn’t be weaker than Taoist Longshan and True Man Tianjian.

Ning Qi thought deeply.

After ensuring there were no omissions, he headed in the direction of True Martial Mountain.

For the first time being away from home for so long, he did feel a bit homesick.
