Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

167: Blood Refined Ice Soul King Scorpion, Spirit Gu Born!Chen Changsheng said with a Face full of excitement, ”Besides its poison being superior to ordinary scorpions, the Ice Soul King Scorpion is also extremely fast. If we can’t catch it in one go, I’m afraid both of us will be frozen into ice sculptures by it.”

”Don’t worry, Dad, watch me!”

A hint of cold sweat also appeared on Chen Chuanjie’s Face because he had seen the speed of the Ice Soul King Scorpion before; if the strike missed, there might not be a second chance.

The speed of the Ice Soul King Scorpion had already surpassed the limit of the Qi Refinement Stage, almost comparable to a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. They could only strike a fatal blow while it was busy sucking blood.

”Hundred Step Flying Sword!”

Chen Chuanjie shouted lowly, and the netherworld sword in his hand pierced toward the Ice Soul King Scorpion like a bolt of lightning. This Hundred Step Flying Sword was originally a martial art he created when he was at the Innate stage. After stepping into the Qi Refinement Stage, Chen Chuanjie had never given up on researching it.

Over the years, the power of the Hundred Step Flying Sword might not be great, but it had become the fastest move in Chen Chuanjie’s repertoire!

Chen Chuanjie’s sword was so fast that it almost became an afterimage, but even so, the Ice Soul King Scorpion still managed to react.

In the blink of an eye, the Ice Soul King Scorpion darted forward, dodging Chuanjie’s lightning-fast sword by a hair’s breadth!

”It’s over!”

Seeing Chuanjie’s sword miss, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, his Face filled with regret.

He feared that the three of them, father and sons, would all die at the hands of the Ice Soul King Scorpion. With its speed, once it decided to start a slaughter, they would have no chance of escaping.

Just then, Chuanjie suddenly formed a sword seal with his fingers. The netherworld sword, which had already plunged into the ground, suddenly hovered back into mid-air.

”Dark Flood Dragon Swallows the Mountain, Third Sword, Tun Yue - Third Sword!”

Chen Chuanjie shouted lowly, exhausting all his Dharmic power to perform the third sword. This meant that if this strike didn’t work, he would have no more power left to act.

The netherworld sword transformed into a flood dragon, opening its large mouth toward the nearby Ice Soul King Scorpion and biting down.

The Ice Soul King Scorpion let out a silent hiss. At the moment it was swallowed into the dragon’s body, that emerald-green jade-like scorpion tail swiftly stung the dragon!

In an instant, the entire dragon froze inch by inch, completely sealed in ice, becoming an ice sculpture.

”Damn, what a freak! It can even freeze the dragon I condensed with Dharmic power into an ice sculpture!”

Seeing this, Chen Chuanjie couldn’t help but curse under his breath, then turned back to Chen Changsheng and said:

”Dad, this Ice Soul King Scorpion has been contained within the dragon body condensed by my Dharmic power. As long as the dragon statue doesn’t break, it won’t be able to get out. How should we capture it?”

Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but frown. This Ice Soul King Scorpion’s stinger broke through both magic and tools; it was truly a problem. Chen Changsheng really couldn’t find a way to capture it.

”It seems I can only use blood refining on it. If I can blood refine it, I can temporarily control it!”

Chen Changsheng said with a serious expression. In the Hundred Gu Manual, the methods for refining Gu insects are divided into three types.

The first type has the lowest risk: subdue the Gu insect with Gu techniques while it is young, feed it personally, and then establish a Bloodline connection with it. Once it grows up, it won’t easily betray its master, and the success rate is the highest.

The second type has medium risk: use powerful cultivation and mental intent to crush the Gu insect’s resistance, then use the Wild Sacrifice Method, using various sacrifices to make the Gu insect obey and complete the master-recognition process.

The third type has the highest risk, known as the Blood Refining Method. First, use a secret technique to refine Hearts Blood to entice the Gu insect to consume it, making it familiar with the master’s aura. Then, continuously feed the Gu insect with the secret technique and Essence Blood for seven days to establish a Bloodline connection, until blood becomes the medium to imprint a mental mark.

Now that this Ice Soul King Scorpion has grown up, the first method is no longer feasible. As for the second, Chen Changsheng’s cultivation is only at the first level of Qi Refining, so it’s impossible to subdue a King Scorpion that can threaten the Foundation Establishment Stage. He can only choose the Blood Refining Method.

However, the Blood Refining Method has the highest risk and the lowest success rate. After all, only if the Gu insect is willing will it allow you to leave a mental imprint through the ritual using blood as a medium. Who is born willing to be a servant?

But Chen Changsheng had been pushed into a corner and could only give it a try!

Chen Changsheng walked up to the black dragon frozen into an ice sculpture. He could see a crystal-clear Ice Soul King Scorpion held in its mouth.

Chen Changsheng took a deep breath, circulated the blood and Qi in his body, gently bit his fingertip, and forced out a drop of Hearts Blood.

A single drop of Hearts Blood is worth ten years of a Cultivator’s effort. The moment Chen Changsheng forced out the Hearts Blood, he immediately felt his body become much weaker, and his Face suddenly turned pale.

”Blood Refining Secret Art!”

Chen Changsheng endured the discomfort, formed a hand seal, and sent streaks of Dharmic power into the Hearts Blood floating in mid-air until the blood turned from bright red to dark red.

”It’s done. Little cutie, you’d better give me some Face and eat this obediently!”

Chen Changsheng controlled the Hearts Blood to float toward the Ice Soul King Scorpion. One must know that as a Cultivator who practiced both Innate and Qi Refining, the Yang Qi in his blood was already vigorous, even stronger than the blood of the strange fish. His Hearts Blood was the essence of his entire body’s blood, and the Yang Qi it contained was more than a hundred times that of ordinary blood.

The Ice Soul King Scorpion was already very thirsty for things full of Yang Qi. Now that it saw Chen Changsheng’s Hearts Blood, it was like a traveler in the desert seeing water, and its reaction was quite intense!

It quickly pounced on Chen Changsheng’s Hearts Blood and sucked it desperately.

As that drop of Hearts Blood entered the Ice Soul King Scorpion’s body, Chen Changsheng felt a faint, flickering connection of consciousness.

”Want... want more...”

Chen Changsheng felt this intermittent consciousness and hurriedly responded:

”Follow me, and there will be plenty more for you later... plenty!”

”Okay... okay!”

Feeling the consciousness of agreement sent by the Ice Soul King Scorpion, Chen Changsheng was overjoyed. He hurriedly turned his head and shouted to Chuanjie:

”Chuanjie, withdraw your sword move! I think I’ve succeeded!”

Chen Chuanjie looked at Chen Changsheng with a serious expression and said somewhat hesitantly:

”Dad, are you sure? Once I withdraw the sword move, I won’t be able to control the Ice Soul King Scorpion anymore. If it starts a slaughter, then we...”

Chen Changsheng walked up to Chuanjie, patted his shoulder, sighed, and said:

”How long can this move of yours control it anyway? I believe that in a short while, the King Scorpion will break through the ice. We can only gamble everything! Trust your father!”

”Alright!”

Chen Chuanjie looked at Chen Changsheng, a flash of determination in his eyes. Then he formed a sword seal, and the black flood dragon frozen into an ice sculpture quietly disappeared.

In its place, there was only the netherworld sword hovering in mid-air, with the Ice Soul King Scorpion perched on the tip of the blade!

”It didn’t attack us proactively; the first step is a success!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the Ice Soul King Scorpion perched on the netherworld sword and let out a long breath. Then he gritted his teeth and walked toward the Ice Soul King Scorpion step by step.

”Little darling, don’t sting me. I’ll feed you Essence Blood rich in Yang Qi every day from now on.”

Chen Changsheng looked tense, creeping toward the Ice Soul King Scorpion. As he got closer, the Ice Soul King Scorpion turned around, its blue eyes staring at Chen Changsheng, waving its two pincers, while that emerald-green, jade-like tail seemed ready to strike!
