Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Originally, the True Dragon Blood Fiend within Li Ji’an’s body had completely merged with the True Dragon Essence Blood in recent years, and had been almost absorbed cleanly by the Essence Blood. Now, it floated on the surface.

If it weren’t for Li Ji’an’s deliberate control of the True Dragon Essence Blood, this bit of Blood Fiend would have been consumed cleanly in an instant.

After the matter was completed, Blood Kite collapsed in the Spirit Pool, like a water lily.

Blood Spirit Saintess watched Li Ji’an’s whole body covered in Blood Fiend, her face full of joy.

”Congratulations to Li Lang for the additional supplementation with Blood Fiend. With the nourishment of True Dragon Blood Fiend, I can finally be at ease and indulge with you.”

”So Xue’Er was always worried about my body not being able to withstand?” Li Ji’an said cooperatively.

Blood Spirit Saintess nodded, her face tender: ”Yes, I have been sharing my heart with Li Lang for three years, and have given my body and soul to you. Previously, I couldn’t bear to let you feel inferior, after all, not only am I an Upper Person Cultivator, but also practice Blood Evil Technique, with a robust physique incomparable to ordinary cultivators.”

”Xue’Er, you’re thoughtful.” Li Ji’an smiled, moved.

In terms of controlling blood and energy, he was meticulous to the extreme. The blood and energy displayed in the Middle Stage of Tier Three was completely fused into the True Dragon Essence Blood, concealing its divine nature. Unless he released his physical strength, even skin-to-skin contact wouldn’t detect a trace.

As for the body of Blood Spirit Saintess, he had long perceived it, yet compared to ordinary cultivators, it was much stronger, clearly unstudied in Body Refining, yet possessing a physique comparable to a Second Tier Body Cultivator.

”Blood Kite, this is the Celestial Essence Pill, it can quickly restore.” Blood Spirit Saintess beckoned to Blood Kite, simultaneously presenting her with a bottle of Pill Medicine.

”Thank you, Holy Mother.” Blood Kite staggered to rise, bowed in gratitude, then received the Pill Medicine.

”Rest and recover there.” Blood Spirit Saintess commanded.

”Understood!” Blood Kite slowly moved to a corner of the Spirit Pool, then sat down in the pool to swallow the Pill Medicine, adjusting her breath for recovery.

The Blood Spirit Saintess then undressed, slowly stepping into the Spirit Pool, eventually nestling into Li Ji’an’s embrace.

The two didn’t avoid Blood Kite nearby, embracing and whispering sweet nothings.

Until half an hour later, Blood Spirit Saintess suddenly... heightened, initiating with Li Ji’an—

At the same time, a sensation stirred inside Li Ji’an.

Because at this moment, the True Dragon Essence Blood within him unexpectedly showed a trace of yearning.

”This is...” Li Ji’an was inwardly bewildered, yet continued to cooperate with Blood Spirit Saintess.

Soon, the atmosphere reached its peak on the scene...

Finally,

A breakthrough successfully achieved after three years.

During this process, Li Ji’an remained fully vigilant against any changes in her counterpart.

The first half-hour proceeded normally.

Blood Spirit Saintess seemed genuinely expressive, her body equally sincere.

Until the arrival of transient pleasure, Blood Spirit Saintess suddenly... afterward.

Li Ji’an felt a powerful force...

Not only did it begin forcibly extracting from him, but seemed intent on absorbing his entire origin.

And just as Li Ji’an sensed something amiss, Blood Spirit Saintess was already prepared, holding her breath to prevent Li Ji’an’s counterattack.

”Li Lang, don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.” Blood Spirit Saintess remained gentle, softly stroking Li Ji’an’s cheek.

”Why? Why do you harm me?”

”Don’t blame me for being unkind; it’s because I love too deeply. Only by merging you and me into one can we last long.” Blood Spirit Saintess continued to confess.

Li Ji’an’s expression was of panic, but inwardly he grew increasingly calm.

As the mysterious suction within Blood Spirit Saintess erupted, the True Dragon Essence Blood in him sensed with even greater clarity.

To the strange suction within Blood Spirit Saintess, the True Dragon Essence Blood showed a budding desire to devour.

If Li Ji’an wasn’t controlling it at this moment, it might have already begun to retaliate.

”Xue’Er, what’s happening? What exactly do you want to do? Can you let me understand clearly?” Li Ji’an still wanted to understand the reason before making a move.

”I’ve never lied to Li Lang, and I won’t hide this.” Seeing Li Ji’an barely holding on, Blood Spirit Saintess smiled slightly.

Then she said warmly: ”Does Li Lang still remember the opportunity I once told you about?”

”Back then, I escaped from my tribe, accidentally discovered an ancient relic in an Earth Abyss, and found a drop of surviving Essence Blood. At that time, I couldn’t move, watched that drop climb onto me, and merge into my body.

Eventually, I realized it was Ancient Phoenix Essence Blood.

Ancient Phoenix, a True Spirit, only comparable to True Dragon.

It possesses the power of rebirth from Nirvana.

Although that drop of Essence Blood had been largely consumed by the ancient mighty, it still retained some divinity.

Therefore, I was reborn from the fire, regained my peak, and my talent was enhanced.

Only then was I noticed by Blood Spirit Sect, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.”

After hearing Blood Spirit Saintess’s words, Li Ji’an was astounded, not expecting her to have such an encounter.

”Phoenix Essence Blood!”

”Yes, truly Innate True Spirit Essence Blood!” Blood Spirit Saintess nodded proudly.

”Then...then why treat me this way?” Li Ji’an continued to probe.

Blood Spirit Saintess smiled faintly: ”Because the Phoenix Nirvana requires rebirth from the fire, and the Phoenix Essence Blood here has endured for millions of years, once squeezed by ancient cultivator masters, only borrowing from Li Lang can achieve Nirvana.”

”You mean you survived to the age of seven hundred through Upper Person Cultivation?”

”Hehe, Li Lang, you’re mistaken, I am not just seven hundred years old; I have already lived for over a thousand years.”

Without waiting for Li Ji’an to ask further, she initiated: ”A thousand years ago, I had already been reborn from the fire, but then my cultivation was insufficient, afraid others would notice something unusual, hence each rebirth involved changing appearances, until seven hundred years ago, I finally gained some ability to protect myself, and no longer hid.”

”A millennium lifespan!” Li Ji’an took a deep breath.

Beside him, Blood Kite widened her eyes.

Blood Spirit Saintess could openly reveal these in her presence, clearly not planning to let her leave alive.

Yet, upon hearing about Blood Spirit Saintess’s Phoenix Essence Blood, Blood Kite felt more confident, knowing the True Dragon Essence Blood within Li Ji’an.

Knowing Innate True Spirit, True Dragon was the pinnacle!

”Since that’s the case, why bother with this fakery?” Li Ji’an appeared desolate.

Blood Spirit Saintess shook her head slowly: ”Li Lang, you misunderstood me, Phoenix Nirvana requires mutual willingness for True Fire, truly I love you.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ji’an’s heart was already entirely enlightened.

Moreover, he was aware of Ning Sujin’s divination predicting a great omen.

”Phoenix Essence Blood? Wonder what gain it offers after being devoured by True Dragon Essence Blood?”

”Holy Mother, why treat me this way?” Just as Li Ji’an was preparing for the True Dragon Essence Blood to actively strike, Blood Kite suddenly restated.

Blood Spirit Saintess’s expression turned indifferent, not looking at her, merely saying: ”After the Phoenix Nirvana, Primordial Yin weakens; naturally, you need to replenish your Primordial Yin. Why? You aren’t willing? Being able to supplement the Phoenix Essence Blood should be an honor.”

Blood Kite’s face darkened, yet she forcibly held back from making further sound.

But inwardly, she couldn’t help but anticipate the moment when Li Ji’an could turn the tables.

”Li Lang, relax, I will treat you well.” Blood Spirit Saintess, no longer paying attention to Blood Kite, looked tenderly at Li Ji’an, then unfolded her power below.

Buzz~

Li Ji’an only felt a surge of suction explode; even the Dragon-locking Secret Technique couldn’t resist.

”Hmph!” Li Ji’an snorted lightly, no longer suppressing the True Dragon Essence Blood within him.

”Hmm? This is...” The next moment, the face of Blood Spirit Saintess changed dramatically...
