Chapter 188 Dragon Blood Level
Fog and ice!
snow!
The image of the second senior sister swinging her sword kept replaying in Cao Ze's mind, and more and more inspirations emerged in his mind.

He finally understood that although heavy accumulation of snow can crush branches and even mountains and has great power, no matter how much snow there is, it is still just snow after all.

If this snow turns into ice, the power it can exert will be incomparable.

From quantitative change to qualitative change, this is the artistic conception of Xue Luo Dao!
In fact, he had some insights when he was fighting with Tang Hongying in Cape City. He had been trying to concentrate the power of thunder and imitate the effect of Ying Xu's sword energy.

Unfortunately, it was just a crude imitation after all. It was effective, but the effect was limited.

And only starting with the last thunder is ultimately only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

It was not until this moment that he understood.

With his eyes closed, Cao Ze raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning fell, one after another.

Boom!

Another half a quarter of an hour passed, and a bolt of lightning struck, emitting a terrifying sound pressure.

The originally silver-white lightning was now tainted with a bit of blue-purple. Originally, Cao Ze had tried hard to condense it, but it could only shrink it to a size of three inches. Now that he had just begun to comprehend the artistic conception of the Snow Falling Knife, the lightning had shrunk to the thickness of an arm.

The thunder is still the same thunder, but its power has changed tremendously.

When he opened his eyes, the world in Cao Ze's eyes had changed again.

"Not bad!"

Ling Shuang nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied in her heart.

Although her advice is simple and easy to understand.

But to be able to fully comprehend it after reading it once, this level of comprehension is not just good, it is simply astonishing.

"Your elder brother and I have long passed the stage of relying on external things. We have practiced all our lives, and only care about ourselves and the sword. This is my gift to you. If you have any questions about practice in the future, you can come to ask me or my elder brother."

Ling Shuang loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword and stepped back.

Qin Tianqiong stepped forward with a smile, "Junior sister, please don't talk nonsense. Although my cultivation does not rely on external objects, I still prepared a gift for my junior brother."

As he said this, he took out a puppet about an inch in size and handed it to Cao Ze, "This is my substitute puppet that I solidified my magical powers into. It can actively block any attack below the Dharmakaya realm for you."

"Of course, it can only be used once, but with Lao Liu's Shadowless Escape, even if it is in the hands of a top grandmaster, there is still a chance to escape."

Seeing this puppet, Ling Shuang snorted coldly and turned away.

Qin Tianqiong smiled and squinted his eyes comfortably, "Junior brother, if you have any confusion in your practice, you can also ask me."

After saying that, he also followed Ling Shuang and left.

Fifth Senior Sister Yun Danyao also nodded to Cao Ze and floated away.

"Junior brother, come on, let's go and choose a place for you to live!"

Seeing his senior brothers and sisters leaving, Qin Yaoguang pulled Cao Ze and walked towards the building complex impatiently.

"Yes, yes, little brother, let me tell you, I have a great place that you can't miss!"

Chen Tianyi also came over, and the two seemed very excited about Cao Ze's choice of residence.

At this time, Qin Yaoguang turned around and looked at Yun Yifeng with suspicion, "What are you still doing here?"

"Sixth Senior Brother is a formation master, so it's reasonable for him to help choose a place to live. How can you, a sword cultivator, choose a cave?"

"What's wrong with sword cultivators? Do you discriminate against them?"

Yun Yifeng raised his head and chest, "Although I am a sword cultivator, I am experienced and it is no problem for me to help my junior brother with some reference!"

……

In a newly built courtyard in the middle section of Qingming Peak, on the south-west side of the peak, Cao Ze sat cross-legged, playing with a drawing in his hand that looked like gold but not gold, and like paper but not paper. The drawing was depicted with intricate patterns and textures, and looked like a map.

However, Cao Ze found the maps of various places in Daqian collected in Qingming Peak and compared them one by one, but he did not find the corresponding place.

Is it a map of somewhere in the open sea?
Cao Ze heard on the way to Qingming Peak that when Daqian was founded, sea beasts were rampant throughout the entire Daqian territory. They would slaughter people and destroy islands at will, and people could be devoured by monsters at any time.

With the founding of Daqian, the founding Emperor Wu of Daqian dispatched thousands of elite troops to kill or drive away these sea beasts bit by bit. After decades of efforts, the land of Daqian was finally cleansed and the people of Daqian were able to live and work in peace.

However, in the open sea, monsters are still rampant.

It is naturally a deadly place for ordinary people, but it is a treasure land for martial artists with profound cultivation.

Whether it is the essence, blood, flesh, horns or claws of the monsters, they are all necessary materials and treasures for warriors to practice. And because it is sparsely populated, rare natural treasures can often be found in the open sea, so many warriors will take the initiative to explore the open sea.

This map was given to me by the eldest senior brother and was found in the storage magic weapon of the magic cultivator in the Dharmakaya realm. Since it could be solemnly collected by a master in the Dharmakaya realm, it must not be an ordinary place.

If I can break through to the Dharmakaya realm in the future, maybe I can go to the outer sea to take a look.

Cao Ze made up his mind and didn't waste any more time studying it. He put the map away.

He had been at Qingming Peak for two months. This courtyard was built in less than a day with the help of his seventh senior sister, sixth senior brother, and fourth senior brother.

This is also one of the advantages of Qingming Peak. There are not many disciples in Qingming Peak, and Cao Ze is a direct disciple, so he can naturally choose any place to live.

Originally, Seventh Senior Sister wanted him to stay in the ordinary disciple area for a while and find a good place to serve as his own cave residence, but Cao Ze's cultivation movements were different from those of ordinary people after all, so he chose this remote place.

In the storage magic weapon of the demon cultivator in the Dharmakaya realm, besides the treasure map, there were also a large number of soul crystals.

Soul crystal is a treasure for Qi cultivators to improve their spiritual cultivation. Its function is the same as that of dragon blood to the dragon blood master. However, soul crystal is a treasure used by Qi cultivators in the Dharmakaya realm for cultivation. You can imagine how precious it is.

Of course, the Dharmakaya realm is called the Nascent Soul by Qi Refiners.

With the number of soul crystals in Cao Ze’s storage magic weapon, even a warrior in the Dharmakaya realm would be greedy.

Unfortunately, this soul crystal is different from the Soul Condensing Pill given by the Fifth Senior Sister. As a warrior, Cao Ze cannot absorb it directly. Only Qi Refiners can use it for cultivation through special methods. It is a pity.

However, the value of soul crystals is there, and Cao Ze can use them to exchange with Qi Refiners for the cultivation resources he needs.

Retract your thoughts and call out the panel.
【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Dragon Blood Ninth Level
Dan Ding Jue:
Yi Jiao (5846208/655360)

……

Jiu Jiao (967329/655360)

Snowfall Knife (meaning): Perfection
Hitting the sea: Perfection

Wind Shadow Step (Intention): Perfection

Heaven-turning Seal (meaning): Perfection

Thunder (meaning): perfection
Sea Covering Decision: Perfection
Love Point: 5298364】

It took more than two months to travel from Haijiao City to Qingming Peak. During those two months, due to insufficient resources, Cao Ze could only practice ordinary cultivation with Su Xiaozhi and Yue Lingke every day to accumulate love points.

But as Hong Xing also broke through to the Blood Refining Realm, the amount of love points that could be accumulated every day was close to 20,000. In those two months, she had accumulated nearly 135 love points.

After arriving at Qingming Peak, he had been refining the dragon that his Seventh Senior Sister had given him, which was equivalent to a ninth-level dragon-blood warrior. In two months, just through practicing the Dan Ding Jue, the points of the little fat dragon had increased by more than four million. At the same time, the panel had also converted the loss into more than two million love points.

Now there is only a small part of the dragon left, which should be able to provide him with a good points boost.

In addition, the four of them have been working hard in the past two months and have also accumulated more than one million love points, which is why there is such an exaggerated number today.

Cao Ze also felt emotional. It turned out that time is the key to success. If he were given enough time, he would definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

Unfortunately, after four months of training, his cultivation level still remained at the ninth level of Jiao Blood, which made Cao Ze wonder if he was stuck in the bottleneck of breaking through the Dragon Blood Realm.

But logically speaking, since he has the panel, he shouldn't have any bottlenecks.

Looking at the love points that had accumulated to a terrifying number, Cao Ze finally decided to try out the bold idea in his mind.

Although it was very safe in Qingming Peak, he had not been in a hurry to add points, but his cultivation had not yet broken through, and it was time to do something.

Now he has already maxed out other attributes, whether it is the various attributes of the Son of the Sea or the artistic conception of the Snow Falling Knife that he has just comprehended.

After the Son of the Sea's attributes were improved to perfection, a new profession was revealed again.

[Poseidon:
Call the wind and call the rain: (0/1 million)
Divine Thoughts: (0/1 million)
Divine punishment: (0/1 million)]

It was a daunting number. Cao Ze understood that every refresh of the career panel would bring about a qualitative change, and the points required would naturally double. This was not something he should consider now.

Since there is nothing else to add, then the choice without choice is the best choice.

"Dan Ding Jue, give me some more!"

boom!
As Cao Ze's mind moved, pure qi and blood suddenly emerged from his lower dantian.

These qi and blood forces seemed to be the result of Cao Ze's years of hard practice. They did not need to be refined at all and could be directly absorbed by the nine blood dragons in his lower dantian, making their bodies swell as if they were inflated.

To be exact, these Qi and blood powers were originally the result of Cao Ze's hard practice, but they were stored in the form of love points. They were originally composed of two parts, one was the loss of refining natural materials and treasures through the Alchemy Ding Jue, and the other was accumulated by Cao Ze's unremitting efforts.

There is naturally no hindrance to absorption at this time.

At this moment, an earth-shaking transformation was brewing in Cao Ze's lower dantian.

In the Dantian that was originally as calm as a mirror, a drop of mini dragon was quietly floating. It curled up into a ball and no longer looked like a dragon. Instead, it returned to its original state and turned into a fist-sized ball of blood again. It floated above the lower Dantian, emitting a faint blood-red light and fell into a deep sleep, like a star forgotten by time.

As the Qi and blood power in the lower Dantian continued to accumulate and sublimate, this drop of dragon blood began to slowly wriggle, like a sleeping creature struggling on the edge of awakening.

Gradually, the air around the little dragon's blood began to become distorted, and an invisible force emanated from it, causing the entire dantian to vibrate. There seemed to be something constantly surging and expanding inside the little dragon's blood. It was the power that was about to explode and a sign of a breakthrough.

I don't know how long it took, but the little dragon's blood suddenly burst out with dazzling blood light, and a powerful energy wave spread out in all directions with it as the center. In the light, the figure of the mini dragon gradually appeared, its scales gleaming with metallic luster, and its eyes closed, as if brewing the final transformation.

With the continuous infusion of qi and blood, the little dragon's body began to expand rapidly. Four bulges appeared on its abdomen, and then quickly turned into four dragon claws, slender and powerful.

The horns on the dragon head are also sharper.

At this moment, it is no longer a drop of static blood, but a real dragon full of vitality and power.

When the last bit of energy and blood was injected into the little dragon's body, its eyes suddenly opened and shot out two sharp rays of light.

At this moment, the entire Dantian was trembling, as if cheering for the birth of this real dragon. The mini dragon finally transformed into a real dragon. Its figure tumbled and jumped in the Dantian, releasing a powerful momentum. All the grass and trees on the west side of the south peak stopped shaking, as if they dared not move under this pressure.

Ouch!

A dragon roar echoed across the southern peak.

Fortunately, this place is sparsely populated and not many people noticed the movement here.

Qin Tianqiong, who was meditating in a thatched cottage on the east side of the peak, opened his eyes, looked towards the south side of the peak and smiled.

Junior brother was able to break through to the Dragon Blood Grandmaster level in such a short time. This talent is outstanding among all the fellow brothers.

However, he decided to find some time to give his junior brother some advice. The way of cultivation is not just about being faster. Only when the road ahead is steady and the foundation is solid can one go further and higher.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a dragon roar again.

Qin Tianqiong frowned.

He was very familiar with this kind of movement. His fellow junior brothers and sisters had broken through at least ninety times, if not a hundred times.

The dragon roar was indeed the sound that would only be produced by a master who had broken through to Dragon Blood.

But why did two sounds appear at once?
Could it be that the technique that my junior brother is practicing is special?

Or, when the junior brother broke through to the Dragon Blood Realm, he directly condensed two drops of dragon blood, skipped the first level of Dragon Blood, and broke through directly to the second level of Dragon Blood?

Qin Tianqiong's figure flashed and disappeared in the thatched cottage.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived above the courtyard where Cao Ze was.

"It is indeed the second level of Dragon Blood!"

Qin Tianqiong was amazed, and without looking any further, he returned to the thatched cottage again.

As for giving Cao Ze any advice, there is no need for that.

Being able to condense two drops of dragon blood just after breaking through to the Dragon Blood Grandmaster level is enough to show that the junior brother has a solid foundation and has accumulated a lot of experience. This kind of mentality is definitely not comparable to those so-called geniuses, so there is no need for him to remind him.

In the small courtyard, Cao Ze didn't know that the senior brother had come and left.

Looking at the panel, I was overjoyed.
【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Dragon Blood Level 2
Dan Ding Jue:
Yilong (600/600 (million))
Erlong (600/600 (million))...]

What made him happy was not that he had broken through directly to the second level of Dragon Blood.

What delighted him was what this breakthrough represented.

Generally speaking, for an ordinary warrior to break through from the master of dragon blood to the master of dragon blood, he needs to combine nine drops of dragon blood into one, causing a qualitative change through quantitative change, and condense dragon blood.

Then he condensed another drop of dragon blood, and when it reached the ninth level of dragon blood, he repeated the process, combining the nine drops of dragon blood into one, condensing a drop of divine blood, and breaking through to the Grand Master realm.

But after becoming a Grand Master, one can no longer condense more divine blood. Any Grand Master has only one drop of divine blood!

The difference between the first and ninth levels of Grandmaster is nothing but the accumulation of divine blood. The divine blood of a beginner Grandmaster may be only the size of a soybean, while the divine blood of a ninth level Grandmaster may be the size of a fist, and that's all. It will never be half a drop more.

But Cao Ze was different. He discovered that his dragon blood could grow infinitely.

In other words, if he breaks through to the Grand Master level in the future, will he be able to condense nine drops of divine blood?

He didn't even dare to imagine how horrible he would be when that time came!

You know, when you reach that level, even if it’s just half a point higher, it’s already infinitely higher. So, what if it’s nine times higher?
