Chapter 2: Qi Cultivation Level Five
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After adjusting his state of mind, Zhang Chen stood up and walked outside, trying his best to act like the original owner of the body to avoid any trouble.
The outer sect disciples of the Blood God Sect all lived in caves. Looking around, the densely packed caves on the mountains were quite spectacular.
The entire sect was shrouded in a faint mist of blood, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
He met several disciples on the way, but they were all very indifferent, ignoring and being cautious around one another.
With the original owner’s memories, Zhang Chen arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall to collect demon blood.
There were many people in the hall, some of whom were here to collect demon blood, and some were here to receive sect missions.
Whether they were outer or inner sect disciples, they had to complete a sect mission every year.
Speaking of which, the original owner of the body had not yet completed this year’s mission.
But there was still time. The immediate priority was to break through the fifth level of Qi cultivation.
If he couldn’t do it within a month, he would be drained of blood and become food for the inner sect disciples.
Although anxious in his heart, Zhang Chen still conscientiously queued up at the back of the line and waited quietly.
As he watched the number of people in front of him dwindling, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but feel nervous.
What if the modifier doesn’t work? he thought.
An hour later, Zhang Chen returned to his residence with the demon blood he had received.
“Whether I can survive or not depends on whether the modifier really works!”
Zhang Chen opened the water pouch containing the demon blood, took a gulp, and immediately started to convert and absorb the spiritual energy within it by activating his cultivation technique.
Perhaps it was because he was trained in the Blood Nerve Technique, or perhaps it was because this body had already grown accustomed to the taste of blood.
Zhang Chen didn’t find the demon blood difficult to drink at all, and even found it to be very tasty.
According to the original owner’s memories, the ferocious aura in the demon blood would attack his consciousness at this time.
Only by consuming his consciousness to suppress the ferocity could he fully transform and absorb the demon blood.
Moreover, his consciousness would more or less be tainted with the fierce aura. Over time, he would be affected and become bloodthirsty, murderous, and insane.
However, this time, he did not feel any ferocious aura at all. His consciousness was not exhausted at all.
“The modifier really works!”
Zhang Chen was extremely excited. This meant that he could cultivate by swallowing and absorbing demon blood indefinitely. As long as he had enough demon blood, it would be easy for him to break through to the fifth level of Qi cultivation within a month.
Soon, the bottle of demon blood was completely transformed and absorbed.
Zhang Chen opened his eyes, feeling somewhat unsatisfied and said with a burning gaze, “Next, I need to obtain a large amount of demon blood.”
Besides the demon blood distributed by the sect, the only way to obtain it was to hunt and kill demon beasts outside, or to trade with others.
The original host’s strength was weak, and going out was very dangerous. In addition to demon beasts, he also had to beware of his fellow disciples. Therefore, trading with others was his only option.
Some inner sect disciples would hunt demon beasts for blood, but they wouldn’t use it to cultivate. Instead, they would sell it to outer sect disciples.
Outer sect disciples were poor and destitute, so why would inner sect disciples have their sights set on them?
Of course, it was the blood of the outer sect disciples!
Due to the special nature of the Blood Nerve Technique, the blood between cultivators could be perfectly absorbed without any ferocious aura.
The original owner had used his own blood to exchange for a pot of demon blood.
Inner sect disciples would not personally sell demon blood. Instead, they would find an outer sect disciple to be their spokesperson.
As this would harm the interests of the sect, it could only be done secretly.
Not long after, Zhang Chen came to a cave abode and shouted in a deep voice, “Is Senior Brother Chen here?”
The Senior Brother Chen that Zhang Chen mentioned was called Chen Kongming. He was one of the spokespersons who sold demon blood on behalf of the inner sect disciples.
Soon, a man at the sixth level of Qi cultivation walked out of the cave.
Seeing that it was Zhang Chen, Chen Kongming was a little surprised and asked, “Didn’t you come yesterday?”
“I have a friend who’s interested. I’m wondering if Senior Brother Chen still has any more stock?” Zhang Chen asked softly.
Chen Kongming looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he nodded and said, “Come in with me.”
The two of them hurried into the cave abode like thieves.
The cave abode was filled with a pungent smell of blood, and wooden buckets and pots were scattered all over the place.
“As usual, a bowl of blood essence in exchange for a pot of demon blood. How much do you want?” Chen Kongming went straight to the point.
“Just one pot for now,” Zhang Chen did not dare to exchange too much at once for fear of arousing suspicion.
“Alright, let’s start with your blood.” Chen Kongming picked up a wooden bowl and handed it to him.
Without further ado, Zhang Chen’s palm began to bleed, filling the bowl with blood.
This bowl of blood was equivalent to a month of his cultivation.
The blood of the Blood God Sect disciples was rather special. Their bodies were filled with blood essence infused with the power of spells.
Cultivation advancement only increased the quantity of blood essence, not the quality. At the Golden Core stage, the quantity of blood essence in the body could even form a river of blood.
Refining a bucket of demon blood could increase one’s cultivation by half a year.
It seemed like a lucrative deal. But those below the seventh level of Qi cultivation could not cultivate so much demon blood at once.
Over time, the spiritual energy in the demon blood would dissipate, and the effects would weaken.
Not to mention the consumption of mental energy and the influence of the ferocious aura.
However, their blood could be quickly absorbed and transformed by other cultivators of the Blood Nerve Technique, which was why inner sect disciples used demon blood to exchange for blood essence.
Chen Kongming looked at the sticky blood essence in the bowl. After confirming that there was no mistake, he handed a wooden pot filled with demon blood to Zhang Chen.
“Here you go, the demon blood you wanted.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. I won’t disturb you any longer.” Zhang Chen didn’t intend to linger after receiving the demon blood.
“Take care, Junior Brother. Remember to visit me for business more often in the future.”
“Definitely, definitely.”
Back at his residence, Zhang Chen eagerly drank the demon blood in large gulps.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
As Zhang Chen drank the demon blood, he simultaneously operated his cultivation technique to refine it.
It wasn’t until late at night that he finished refining the entire pot of demon blood.
He didn’t feel any fatigue, but instead felt energized.
“At this rate, I will definitely break through to the fifth level of Qi cultivation within half a month.”
Feeling the surging blood spiritual power in his body, Zhang Chen was filled with motivation.
Many people had dreams of cultivating immortality, flying through the sky, and living forever. Zhang Chen was no exception.
Although he was a demonic cultivator, he believed that with the modifier, he could make it to the end and become an immortal.
There were many people selling demon blood in the outer sect. It shouldn’t be a problem for each of them to exchange for it a few times.
The next day, Zhang Chen went to exchange for demon blood again, but at a different place.
Time passed quickly and 10 days went by.
The cave abode was filled with blood mist that surged continuously, as if something was brewing.
Suddenly, the blood mist rapidly shrank and was completely absorbed by a figure sitting cross-legged.
“I have finally reached the fifth level of Qi cultivation, a few days earlier than expected.” Zhang Chen smiled.
Breaking through to the fifth level of Qi cultivation within the allotted time meant he didn’t have to worry about becoming a blood slave for three years.
Without any sense of urgency, Zhang Chen felt relaxed.
For the past 10 days, he went to exchange for demon blood every day, but he would only exchange at most twice at the same place, and he always chose a distant location.
For the next period of time, he planned to keep a low profile and only exchange for demon blood every few days.
“There’s still a little over half a month until the assessment of cultivation, so I’ll complete the sect mission first and then concentrate on cultivating.”
After making up his mind, Zhang Chen did not delay and immediately headed to the Internal Affairs Hall.
Although there were many people in the hall, most of them were there to collect demon blood and there were few who came to receive missions.
Since the two were separate, he didn’t have to wait in line for long.
