Chapter 301 Hidden Dangers
Six months after Song Siyu left Qingya Mountain, Zhang Lingyu finally recovered from his physical and spiritual injuries, but instead of leaving seclusion, he went to find Yue Yi.
After experiencing a series of battles at the Spirit Puppet Sect, he gained new insights into cultivation, but also had some doubts.
When he was cultivating his Qi, he could consult people like Zhang Xinghao and Zhang Xingyao on cultivation. However, as he progressed through the Foundation Establishment stage and reached the later stages, he basically had to figure things out on his own. The family only had him to teach others, and no one else could guide him anymore.
On several occasions when we were alone, I took the opportunity to ask Master Xuanhao for advice, and he was never stingy with his knowledge.
Now that everything has calmed down and his cultivation level is gradually increasing, the matter of forming the core is within ten years. His heart is becoming increasingly uneasy, not only because of the insurmountable barrier that ordinary people cannot cross, but also because there are still things he does not understand in his cultivation.
He often envied those who had teachers to guide them, at least they could avoid some detours.
Fortunately, this situation was finally broken. Although he was almost possessed by Yue Yi, he was forced to spend at least several decades with him by a twist of fate.
He was a peak Golden Core cultivator in his previous life, so guiding him would be more than enough. It would be such a waste not to use a mountain of gold and silver right in front of him.
"Does the sect leader mean that the Blood Demon Mighty Body technique I used to cultivate actually has many hidden dangers?" Zhang Lingyu frowned in the secret room. He didn't expect that after asking some questions about cultivation, the other party would suddenly throw out such a surprising statement.
The cultivation method of "Blood Demon Mighty Body" requires soaking the entire body in the blood of demonic beasts. The higher the cultivation level and the stronger the bloodline, the better the effect of the demonic blood.
During cultivation, one must circulate the cultivation technique to integrate the essence of the demon blood into the flesh and bones, gradually strengthening the physical body.
Zhang Lingyu chose this body-refining technique because it had no hidden dangers and could quickly improve physical strength.
Although it was only a third-rank, it had provided him with a lot of help along the way, and it still provides him with considerable assistance now.
"But the cultivation method didn't mention any hidden dangers at the time. After all, it was just tempering the body with demon blood, not integrating demon blood into one's own bloodline. Besides, I would carefully check after each cultivation session and didn't find anything wrong."
"When you were cultivating, you were just a Qi Refining cultivator. How could you possibly see anything unusual about the cultivation technique?"
"Even if you're now in the late Foundation Establishment stage, you still can't sense anything. I was at the peak of the Golden Core stage in my previous life; didn't I see things more clearly than you?"
Yue Yi, who had been curled up inside the Soul-Nourishing Wood, emerged from it and sneered:
"You used this demon blood to temper your body. Although it was eventually expelled from your body, a portion of it remained in every inch of your flesh and bones. Because it was so well hidden, you couldn't detect it at the time."
"Every time you activate the Blood Demon's Mighty Body, these remaining demonic blood will be activated and secretly integrated into your bloodline. Under normal circumstances, you might notice it, but how can you control these things during a battle?"
"Fortunately, you haven't used it many times, and the amount of demon blood remaining in your body is pitifully small, plus its quality is poor. Otherwise, if this continued, you would definitely become a half-human, half-demon monster."
These problems are not visible from the outside. During the struggle for the physical body in the Spirit Puppet Hall, Yue Yi briefly gained control of the physical body over Zhang Lingyu. It was only because he was a Golden Core Peak cultivator in his previous life that he was able to discover this problem.
He laughed:
Don't believe me?
"You can examine it yourself. The system has matched you with a Xianxia novel category. Click to view details. With your early Golden Core cultivation, you should be able to find the remaining parts, but it will just take some patience and time."
After saying that, he fell silent.
Whether it was an exaggeration or not, Zhang Lingyu had to investigate it himself. He sat down cross-legged and his powerful divine sense swept over his limbs and bones. At first, he did not find anything unusual, but as he went deeper, he saw some residual demon blood attached to his flesh.
Because it was so thin, and because the Blood Demon's Mighty Body was activated multiple times, it was almost impossible to detect without close inspection...
His face was very pale. He spent another half hour thoroughly examining his body from head to toe, and found quite a few more things.
These are just remnants; countless others have already been absorbed into one's bloodline with each activation.
"Demonic techniques are still demonic techniques after all; even if they are of low grade, they cannot be easily ignored..."
The Blood Demon Mighty Body Technique was only at the third rank, and Zhang Lingyu thought he had already mastered it. Little did he know that the creation of each technique required countless efforts and time.
A cultivator capable of creating a third-grade cultivation technique must at least be a Golden Core cultivator.
No wonder Yue Yi said that he was just a Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivator and couldn't possibly know anything; he wasn't trying to belittle him.
The remaining demon blood has been dealt with, but how do we deal with the blood that has been integrated into our bloodline?
Now that we know the problem, we must start working on it. Any small problem could affect the subsequent Core Formation process.
He certainly didn't know it himself, and he didn't want to use the intelligence system, but there was a ready-made, knowledgeable person right in front of him.
Zhang Lingyu smiled wryly:
"Sect Master Yue is willing to reveal the secrets of heaven, and I am deeply grateful. However, since you have spoken, you must not want me to die in vain during the Core Formation process. Please, Sect Master, teach me the solution!"
"Don't worry, now that I've explained it, I naturally have a way."
Yue Yi didn't keep them in suspense. Right now, he was just a remnant soul, and he would have to rely on the other party for many things in the future. Not to mention the distant future, he was in a hurry to have the other party find him a good physical body.
Although there was a transaction between them, mutual wariness was inevitable. He only mentioned this small potential problem in order to get Zhang Lingyu to work for him more easily and lower his guard a little.
Another point is that Zhang Lingyu has a high probability of forming his core. If he does succeed, we can rely on him to rebuild the Spirit Puppet Sect and deal with subsequent troubles.
He only said:
"Once demon blood is fused into your bloodline, it is extremely difficult to separate. The fastest way is to replace your entire bloodline, but this method will damage your foundation. Furthermore, it requires extracting the bloodline of your closest relatives, so I guess you won't be using it."
"The second method is to temper your bloodline. Fortunately, you haven't used the Blood Demon's Mighty Body many times, so the human blood and demon blood haven't fused completely. At this time, you can use heavenly lightning in conjunction with a series of rare and precious materials to cleanse and separate them. It's just that it will hurt a bit."
"pain?"
Zhang Lingyu smiled. What does pain matter when it comes to the path to immortality? As long as it solves the problem, what hardship can't be endured by just gritting your teeth?
He bowed and said, "Please, senior, teach me the method of tempering!"
