Chapter 102: Chapter 92: Strong Blood Demon Pill (Subscription Requested)
Divine Sword Hall.
Although it was deep into the night.
Here, the lights were bright, and it was still very busy.
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was still dealing with affairs.
Besides the internal affairs of the sect, there were also the dispatching of the martial artists and the allocation of elixirs and weapon resources to support frontline battles, which all required his personal attention as the Sect Leader.
Now, the vast majority of Divine Sword Sect’s power had already been dispatched to the front lines.
The number remaining to guard the Divine Sword Sect was less than a third of the usual.
Among them, many had been withdrawn from the frontline for rest and healing.
Precisely because of the severe shortage of strength, many retired elders had been called back to duty.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside, and two Divine Sword Sect disciples supported a person into the Divine Sword Hall.
"Master, Great Granduncle Teacher has returned."
Lei Zhao anxiously called out.
"Granduncle Teacher, what has happened to you?"
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu first paused in surprise, then quickly got up and rushed over, holding up Xiao Wendao.
Xiao Wendao’s face was pale, with blood still on his body, clearly showing that he was seriously injured.
"I’m alright...."
He hurriedly waved his hand, sat down with the help of Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu, and just as he was about to speak, he started coughing violently.
After a while, he calmed down.
But blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Granduncle Teacher, what exactly happened?"
Feng Shaoyu quickly helped wipe the blood from Xiao Wendao’s mouth and then asked.
It was so late, why did Granduncle Teacher suddenly come back, and still, he was seriously injured.
At this time, shouldn’t Granduncle Teacher be at the front?
Could it be that there had been a significant defeat at the frontline?
"Yesterday’s battle, due to my oversight, I was caught alone and ambushed..."
Xiao Wendao briefly explained the situation.
"What about the frontline..."
Feng Shaoyu couldn’t help asking.
"For now, I don’t know, but... it shouldn’t be too serious, in terms of the number of Heavenly People, we are not at a disadvantage...."
Xiao Wendao shook his head and said.
The Luo Imperial Family probably knew about his unhealed old injury, which is why they specifically targeted him and set up an ambush.
Originally there were two Heavenly People ambushing him, and the reason only Chen Ao followed and pursued him later was probably that the other Luo Imperial Family’s Heavenly Person thought that he wouldn’t survive Chen Ao’s chase and therefore went to support other battlefronts.
Otherwise, if two Heavenly People were chasing him, he would surely not have been able to escape for so long.
"You immediately send a hawk message to the frontline about my situation... Oh right, Chen Ao of the Xuanming Sect has fallen."
Xiao Wendao suddenly remembered something and mentioned it at once.
"What?"
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was startled.
A Heavenly Person from the Xuanming Sect has fallen?
"Old Ghost Xiao, did you counter-kill that wretch Chen Ao?"
At that moment, an old female voice unexpectedly rang out.
Following that, a Heavenly Person from Baihua Palace walked in.
After nearly a year of recuperation, her injuries had somewhat healed.
"Yeah, it was just luck."
Xiao Wendao nodded and said: "If he hadn’t been overly confident, I would have been the one to die."
He didn’t divulge the real situation.
Because he did not want the matter of other Heavenly People moving around the Divine Sword Sect to get out.
In his view, this Heavenly Person seemed to be very friendly to the Divine Sword Sect.
The existence of this Heavenly Person was a kind of invisible protection for the Divine Sword Sect.
He was even less willing to reveal this Heavenly Person’s existence.
"Good, good, good, that old wretch Chen Ao has finally died, it’s a pity I could not avenge myself."
The Baihua Palace Heavenly Person revealed a smile.
Among those attacking the Baihua Palace were participants from the Xuanming Sect.
Chen Ao was one of the three Heavenly People who besieged and hunted her.
If she hadn’t just happened to meet Xiao Wendao who was returning from Jade Capital and the Heavenly Person of the Imperial Family, chances were she would have been more likely to die than to survive.
....
Dawn broke.
Chen Bell Platform.
Li Qian stretched lazily, watching the red sun slowly rising in the distance.
Caw!
A hawk’s cry.
Little Black flew back from afar.
Its claws were still holding a prey.
It flew to a nearby tree and started to eat its breakfast.
Li Qian involuntarily glanced at the nearby hourglass, which was almost empty.
This Little Black had really become more punctual.
He then grabbed the bell hammer and with a light exertion of force, struck the Chen Bell strongly.
Dong Dong....
Two clear bell sounds spread out.
Li Qian bathed in the bell sounds, drew the Sword Eighteen, and started to practice the Heartless Sword Technique.
Heaven and Earth Essence Qi swiftly gathered around him.
The Primordial Stone held between his palms was also releasing Primordial Qi, absorbed by the Perfect Level Pure Holy Body, and rapidly transformed into True Qi.
Once one round of practice was complete, Li Qian’s expression was normal, but he was immensely overjoyed on the inside.
It couldn’t be denied; the Perfect Level Pure Holy Body’s help in the advancement of cultivation was simply too significant.
With the current pace, it was estimated that in a little over three months, he would break through to the mid-stage of the True Pill Realm.
He jumped down from the bell tower and walked into a wooden hut beside him.
Inside, the space wasn’t small, with many cages placed around, housing mice, wild chickens, rabbits, birds... even dragonflies, wasps...
These creatures, without exception, were all significantly larger than normal.
Of course, these were the ones that had survived.
As for those that hadn’t survived, who knows how many there were.
Li Qian scraped off a little bit of elixir powder, mixed it with water, then with a wave of his hand, droplets of medicine water of various sizes, enveloped by his True Qi, fell into different containers.
These creatures immediately started licking and devouring the elixir.
His Spiritual Perception spread out, observing the reaction within each creature’s body after consuming the Demon Pill elixir.
"The efficacy of this kind of elixir should be almost fully researched."
Li Qian stroked his chin, feeling quite certain.
There was more than one kind of elixir in the black iron ring, more than a dozen in fact.
So he still needed to continue the experiments.
Li Qian looked at the half-remaining dark green elixir in his hand, revealing a hint of a smile.
After such a long time, he had only used a little of this elixir.
It had to be said, the effect of this elixir was really strong.
He named this elixir Giant Blood Demon Pill.
There were roughly three more noticeable effects.
First was to enhance the creature’s blood and Qi strength, but the release efficiency of the blood and Qi was extremely high, and overdosing could put a huge burden on the body.
Second was to strengthen the creature’s body, enhancing the muscles, membranes, bones, blood, nerves, internal organs, and other functions significantly, without any signs of mutation.
Third was to allow a creature’s body to break through the limitations of its species’ size and induce bodily enlargement.
Such enlargement was not unlimited; the degree of enlargement was less for creatures originally of larger sizes.
For creatures like wasps and dragonflies... their size could increase by more than ten times.
While rabbits and pheasants could approximately have their size increased by two or three times.
It was unknown whether humans would also experience an increase in size after taking this?
If that was the case, then he definitely could not consume it.
For a regular person, it wouldn’t be normal to increase in size by a fraction, let alone double in size.
Li Qian did not wish to turn into a giant.
He felt that his current height and build were perfect.
Of course, it would be acceptable to be a bit taller.
Walking out of the wooden house, Li Qian held a cup in his hand filled with a bit of potion.
He whistled.
Xiao Hei, who had finished its breakfast and was grooming its feathers on the tree, quickly flew down, landing on Li Qian’s arm.
"Xiao Hei, open your mouth."
Li Qian said with a smile.
Xiao Hei eagerly opened its beak, and a bit of potion flew into its mouth.
Since it was Xiao Hei’s first time, Li Qian fed it a very small amount of potion to avoid putting too much strain on Xiao Hei’s body.
After consuming the potion, Xiao Hei quickly became restless and agitated.
Li Qian quickly utilized the Hawk Taming Skill to communicate with it and soothe its emotions.
Xiao Hei curled up in Li Qian’s arms, trembling violently.
Li Qian probed Xiao Hei’s condition with his Spiritual Perception.
There were no major abnormalities.
The blood and Qi surged rapidly, but did not exceed the body’s limit.
It took a while for Xiao Hei to return to normal, flying into the sky, staying out for a long time, until evening before returning.
Li Qian looked at Xiao Hei’s feathers, which had become even more glossy and dark.
He once again carefully examined Xiao Hei’s body.
"Eh, it seems like Xiao Hei’s body enhancement efficiency is a bit higher than other creatures."
Li Qian keenly noticed something different.
After all, he had a large amount of experimental data to compare with.
In the next few days, he continued to collect Xiao Hei’s body data.
He was basically certain that Xiao Hei’s body enhancement efficiency was much higher than that of other creatures, and... Xiao Hei’s degree of bodily enlargement was not very significant.
It was there, but nowhere near as obvious as those creatures.
"Could it be that Xiao Hei was not caged and always flying outside, which allowed the strengthening function of the blood and Qi to be utilized better, preventing the deposit of blood and Qi and avoiding forced enlargement?"
Li Qian had a sudden thought, immediately formulating a hypothesis.
In that case, the name Giant Blood Demon Pill did not seem quite accurate.
Then let’s change it to Strong Blood Demon Pill.
...
Xuan State, Yecheng.
This place had long become the main base of Luo Wangfu’s front line.
Inside a luxurious residence’s hall.
A group of more than ten people were gathered together, discussing matters.
Sitting in the seat of honor was Luo Tiange, the first battle general under Luo Wang’s command and a Heavenly Person.
Moreover, this Heavenly Person was not from a Martial Arts Sect or Martial Arts Family. He was an orphan adopted by Luo Wangfu and cultivated step by step.
He was even adopted as a righteous son by the previous Luo Wang of Luo Wangfu, bestowed with the Luo surname.
"Is there still no news from Elder Chen?"
Luo Tiange asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to General Luo, Supreme Elder has not contacted us at all."
An elderly man shook his head.
This man was the Supreme Elder of Xuanming Sect, possessing the strongest cultivation and power after the Supreme Elder. He was also the one who truly managed the affairs of Xuanming Sect most of the time.
After all, Supreme Elder Chen Ao, being a Heavenly Person, seldom managed affairs.
"It’s strange. Elder Chen chasing down that Xiao Wendao shouldn’t pose any problems, especially since he was seriously injured by both me and Elder Chen."
The speaker was an elder with a date-like complexion, in Daoist robes, holding a whisk in his hand.
This man was Master Yang Mei, a Heavenly Person from the Purple Cloud Sect.
The whisk in his hand was actually a very powerful Divine Refinement Weapon. The handle was forged with an unknown metal, and the whisk fibers were not made of horsehair or any such thing, but a type of extremely tenacious special material.
"The fact that he hasn’t returned for so long is indeed puzzling; could it be that Elder Chen has encountered some other matter that delayed him?"
Another Heavenly Person seated next to the commanding officer, Luo Tiange, said in a deep voice.
At that moment, a long trumpet call sounded from outside the hall, "Report, a secret message has arrived."
"Bring it here."
Luo Tiange said solemnly.
Quickly, a Martial Artist hurried in, presenting a bamboo tube sealed with a special lacquer pattern to Luo Tiange with great respect, then retreated.
Luo Tiange opened the bamboo tube and took out a piece of paper.
After reading it, his face turned grim.
"Xiao Wendao has returned to Divine Sword Sect..."
He said coldly.
Xiao Wendao had escaped back.
Then what about Chen Ao?
...
