Wu Shattered Star River

Entering the Heavenly Concealment Pavilion didn't require immortal stones, nor was there any identity verification. Jiang Han, a pseudo-immortal, simply walked in.

Upon entering the gate, a flash of white light occurred, and it felt like arriving in another world.

This was a massive underground plaza, filled with many immortals and shops. As far as the eye could see, it was densely packed with immortals, probably numbering over a thousand.

"Lord Jiang!"

Yin Ruoxi asked softly, "What do you need to buy? I've been here a few times; I can take you."

Jiang Han said, "I heard there's a beast blood pool here that can enhance the physical body?"

"There is!"

Yin Ruoxi nodded, "All Heavenly Concealment Pavilions have one; it's this way."

Yin Ruoxi led Jiang Han to the left. Jiang Han observed along the way, noticing that the shops inside were categorized, selling all sorts of things.

He even saw a shop displaying various beast skin scrolls, actually selling various immortal techniques.

After wandering around for half a circle, Yin Ruoxi led Jiang Han to a shop with the three large characters "Beast Blood Pool" written on it.

Jiang Han brought Yin Ruoxi inside. The shop wasn't large. Inside, a human elder greeted them with a smile, looking at Jiang Han and saying, "Welcome, esteemed guests. I am Liu Quan. Do you need to enter the beast blood pool for enhancement?"

Jiang Han nodded slightly and asked, "What are your fees here?"

The human elder stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "We have a total of seven pools here, with varying grades of beast blood and different enhancement effects."

"The lowest-grade pool costs ten immortal stones per day, the second-grade pool costs a hundred immortal stones per day, the third-grade costs a thousand, the fourth-grade ten thousand, the fifth-grade one hundred thousand, the sixth-grade one million, and the seventh-grade ten million per day."

Jiang Han silently clicked his tongue after listening. Wu Ji was right; the top-grade pool here indeed required ten million immortal stones per day.

Ten million immortal stones! How many ordinary immortal artifacts and techniques could that buy?

Jiang Han only had two hundred thousand immortal stones on him, which could only allow him to enter the fifth-grade pool for two days at most. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll enter the fifth-grade pool for one day first!"

He wanted to see how effective it was first. If the effect wasn't good, then these hundred thousand immortal stones would be wasted.

However, such a large force as the Heavenly Concealment Pavilion shouldn't be engaging in scams, right? Otherwise, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Liu Quan frowned slightly. He said, "Esteemed guest, why not try the third or fourth-grade pool first? The beast blood in the fifth-grade pool is very domineering. I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it for too long, which would be a waste."

"No need, just the fifth-grade pool!"

Jiang Han was confident in his physical strength. He turned his gaze to Yin Ruoxi and said, "Miss Yin, why don't you go back first? I need to cultivate inside for a day."

Yin Ruoxi seemed to want to build a good relationship with Jiang Han. She shook her head and said, "No need, I'll wander around the Heavenly Concealment Pavilion and wait for you. It's only a day."

Jiang Han ignored her. He took out one hundred thousand immortal stones, thought for a moment, and looked at Liu Quan, asking, "Shopkeeper Liu, after entering, can I absorb as much as I want? Can your pool continuously supply beast blood?"

Liu Quan grinned and said, "As long as you can absorb it, it's fine even if you absorb all the beast blood in the entire pool."

"However… the beast blood in the fifth-grade pool is the blood of the Blackscale Beast, which is extremely domineering. If your body can't withstand it, it's best not to forcibly absorb too much. Otherwise, the Heavenly Concealment Pavilion will not be responsible if your soul collapses due to intense pain."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up. He paid one hundred thousand immortal stones. Liu Quan asked Yin Ruoxi to sit and wait outside, then led Jiang Han into a corridor.

After entering the corridor, there were seven forks inside. Liu Quan led Jiang Han into the fifth fork.

After walking for a while, they entered a great hall, which contained a pool a hundred zhang in radius, filled with blackish-red blood. As soon as they entered, a thick, bloody aura permeated the air, making it suffocating.

There were three immortals cultivating in the pool. The pool was very large, so they didn't affect each other. Next to the pool, there was also an elder sitting cross-legged, probably an immortal from the Heavenly Concealment Pavilion, responsible for guarding this beast blood pool.

"This blood… is very domineering!"

Jiang Han sensed it for a moment and discovered that this blood was like a living thing. In the dimness, he could even see countless phantoms of strange beasts rolling and moving through the pool.

"Ah~"

Jiang Han had only just walked in when an Yan Clan immortal inside couldn't withstand it anymore.

His entire body's skin turned blood red, and a baleful aura soared into the sky. His body rolled around in the pool. After a moment, he soared into the sky and landed outside the pool.

"Ah…"

After coming out, he was still rolling on the ground, emitting painful sounds. His entire body's skin was as if burned by flames, a patch of crimson red. His eyes were filled with red light, and the muscles of his entire body continuously trembled.

Liu Quan smiled and explained to Jiang Han, "Esteemed guest, I'll emphasize once again that this Blackscale Blood is exceptionally domineering. Absorb as much as you can, but never force it. If you can't withstand it, fly up and rest for a while."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han's eyes brightened. Liu Quan looked at the elder guarding the beast blood pool. The latter took out an hourglass and placed it in front of him, starting to time Jiang Han.

Jiang Han didn't dare to waste time. He directly removed his long robe and walked towards the pool wearing a pair of shorts.

Liu Quan smiled and turned to walk outside.

Jiang Han's arrival wasn't noticed by the two immortals in the pool. They didn't even open their eyes, each sitting cross-legged inside absorbing.

Jiang Han didn't dare to be careless. He slowly walked into the pool from the stone steps next to it.

When his legs entered the pool, he immediately felt streams of scorching energy entering his body through the pores of his legs, quickly spreading throughout his body. His body instantly felt like it was on fire, a patch of crimson red.

"Ugh…"

Jiang Han felt the energy entering his body transforming into black phantoms of strange beasts, rampaging within his body. He felt that his meridians couldn't withstand it and were about to explode.

"So strong!"

Jiang Han's heart trembled. This Blackscale Beast's blood was indeed very domineering. Ordinary immortals would probably not be able to withstand soaking in it for even a joss stick's time.

Jiang Han could naturally withstand it. He quickly walked towards the bottom of the pool, directly immersing his entire body in the pool.

"Buzz~"

After his entire body was immersed in the pool, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron lit up, then rotated at high speed within his sea of consciousness.

The beast blood in the pool frantically surged towards his body, quickly entering the Heavenly Beast Cauldron.

"Hm?"

The elder guarding the beast blood pool suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping towards Jiang Han like a knife.

The other two immortals in the pool woke up in shock, all sweeping their gazes towards Jiang Han.

"Is this seeking death?"

The corner of one immortal's mouth revealed a mocking expression as he sneered, "The Blackscale Beast's blood is so domineering, yet he dares to absorb it like this? Is he not afraid of his body exploding?"

"Heh heh!"

The lone eye of another Desolate Clan immortal was filled with ridicule. He said, "The more enjoyable it is to absorb now, the more miserable it will be later…"

"Esteemed guest, I suggest you take it easy… Otherwise, the Heavenly Concealment Pavilion will not be responsible if something happens later!"

The elder guarding the beast blood pool reminded him. Seeing that Jiang Han didn't make any movements and was still frantically absorbing beast blood, a playful look appeared in his eyes.

He wanted to see how long Jiang Han could last and how miserable Jiang Han would be later.

He had seen many guests like Jiang Han, afraid of suffering losses, so they would absorb greedily as soon as they came in.

As a result, because they absorbed too much, they were in excruciating pain, and some immortals even had their souls collapse because they couldn't bear the intense pain…
