Chapter 368: Being Targeted
Translator: jinzeffect
Three days later, Cloud Guest Residence.
In the guest room’s secret room, Li Fuchen gradually exhaled a breath of turbid air that was reeking with blood and opened his eyes.
“The Marrow Cleansing Elixir and Jade Water Elixir are indeed effective. They have dispelled 60% of the demonic beast essence blood’s impurities. After I consume all the Jade Water Elixirs, the impurities should be almost fully dispelled.”
For the past three days, Li Fuchen had used all of the Marrow Cleansing Elixir and one Jade Water Elixir.
The Marrow Cleansing Elixir could be used consecutively, but due to the slow effects of the Jade Water Elixir, Li Fuchen had only consumed one.
After dispelling 60% of the demonic beast essence blood impurities, Li Fuchen felt that his body was much more agile. It seemed like all the pores on his body were opened up and he was breathing in the fresh air.
But the evil intents of the Blood Corpse Elixir must also be eliminated. I wonder, what kind of elixir do I have to consume.” Li Fuchen frowned.
A regular person wouldn’t be able to understand something like the evil intent of the Blood Corpse Elixir. To be truthful, he didn’t know clearly about it too.
“I shall try and asked that Elder Huo first.”
On this day, Li Fuchen visited the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion again.”
“Young Hero Li.”
When seeing Li Fuchen, Elder Huo immediately rushed over.
“Elder Huo.” Li Fuchen cupped his fist.
“Young Hero Li, what elixir are you planning to buy this time?” Elder Huo had already treated Li Fuchen as a moneybag. Not even low-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists were as extravagant as Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen described, “Elixirs that can dispel evil qi.”
“It seems like Young Hero Li is infected by something impure.” Elder Huo didn’t appear to be at a loss and immediately responded.
Li Fuchen had slightly belittled Elder Huo. As one of the supervisors of the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion, Elder Huo had seen plenty of elixirs and plenty of martial artists. Some of them had made contact with things of evil and would be infected with evil qi. They would require special elixirs to dispel it. Of course, they could also ask experts to help with the dispelling, but they would need to be acquainted with the experts first.
“The Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion has them?” Li Fuchen was delighted.
Elder Huo spoke in an apologetic tone, “Such elixirs can only be refined by the Mystic Yang Master. The Mystic Yang Master would only refine a single elixir every year. It is a pity that this elixir has already been bought.”
“What grade is the elixir?” Li Fuchen asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElder Huo said, “Earth class low-tier Spirit Cleansing Elixir. Apart from the Spirit Cleansing Elixir’s effectiveness in dispelling evil qi, it can even improve the bone frame. If a martial artist below the 3-star bone frame is to consume it, they might be able to improve their bone frame by one or two stars.”
“Where is the Mystic Yang Master? I wish to see him.” Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with radiance.
But if the dispelling of the Blood Corpse Elixir’s evil intent or the improvement of the bone frame, he desired both extremely.
Herbs or elixirs that could improve the bone frame were too rare and one could only wish they were fortunate enough to encounter one.
“This…” Elder Huo hesitated. Disrupting an earth class Concoction Master was a major issue. He might just lose his position as a supervisor in the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion just because of this.
How could Li Fuchen not know what Elder Huo was thinking? He immediately took out 50 low-grade spirit stones and said, “Elder Huo, I know you are in a difficult position. But please do me a favor.”
Elder Huo struggled for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, “I will try. But I cannot guarantee if it succeeds or not.”
Elder Huo was just a Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist. 50 low-grade spirit stones were too big of a temptation for him. Even if he was dismissed from his position, he would just have to accept it.
After receiving the spirit stones, Elder Huo said, “The Mystic Yang Master lives at a certain place in the inner city. You can come over again one day later.”
“Sure.”
Li Fuchen wasn’t afraid that Elder Huo would take the spirit stones and not do anything. As a supervisor, if someone was to complain about him, he wouldn’t be able to keep this job either.
Furthermore, Li Fuchen could afford to lose these 50 low-grade spirit stones.
One day later, Li Fuchen visited the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion again.
“Young Hero Li, you are in luck. The Mystic Yang Master was in a good mood yesterday and is willing to refine a Spirit Cleansing Elixir for you. But the spirit cleansing elixir still lacks one stalk of Spirit Cleansing Herb and you will have to find it yourself. In addition to that, the refinement of the Spirit Cleansing Elixir is 500 low-grade spirit stones, no negotiations.”
“Sure.” Li Fuchen immediately agreed.
He was able to afford 500 low-grade spirit stones, but the Spirit Cleansing Herb was rather troublesome.
“Elder Huo, is the Spirit Cleansing Herb sold in the Raging Inferno City?” Li Fuchen inquired.
Elder Huo replied, “The spirit cleansing herb is an earth class low-tier herb. It is rarely sold anywhere. But in the nearby vicinity of Raging Inferno City is the Cloud Sun Mountains. There are traces of the Spirit Cleansing Herb over there. In the past, the Spirit Cleansing Herb has always been discovered there.”
“Cloud Sun Mountains huh?” Li Fuchen frowned.
Before coming, Li Fuchen had found out about the surrounding situation of the Raging Inferno City.
The Cloud Sun Mountains was a class 5 danger zone where class 5 demonic beasts resided. Even a Reincarnation Realm martial artist would face certain risks in there.
After leaving Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion, Li Fuchen didn’t depart for Cloud Sun Mountains immediately. He needed time to make preparations.
In the blink of the eye, one month had passed. Li Fuchen had already used up all the Jade Water Elixir.
“All the demonic beast essence blood impurities have been dispelled. I can continue using the demonic beast essence blood to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Body Forging Chapters.”
Using body refinement elixirs to cultivate was too wasteful on the spirit stones. Furthermore, mystic class high-tier body refinement elixirs were already useless for Li Fuchen. Only mystic class peak-tier body refinement elixirs were effective, but in comparison, demonic beast essence blood were might more worthwhile. With the same amount of value, demonic beast essence blood contained several times more body refinement power than elixirs.
Of course, not everyone could use demonic beast essence blood to temper their bodies. Only people like Li Fuchen who had particularly resilient willpower would be able to do it. Otherwise, they would certainly go crazy.
Back at the Black Sky Sect Ruins, Li Fuchen had killed the Iron River Sect’s Supreme Elder who was a 2nd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist and obtained a bottle of class 5 mid-tier demonic beast essence blood. After using up 10 drops of blood, there were still 90 drops of blood inside.
After retrieving the essence blood bottle, Li Fuchen dripped one drop of blood into his mouth.
Boom!
Like a volcano eruption, Li Fuchen’s qi and blood were boiling and a strand of dragon elephant power was gathering.
Two drops, five drops, ten drops…
Perhaps it was the strengthening of the physique, after consuming 90 drops of class 5 mid-tier demonic beast essence blood, the impurities in Li Fuchen’s body didn’t increase significantly. Of course, this was mainly due to the residue effects of the Jade Water Elixir in his body.
“An increase of 300 strands of dragon elephant power. This isn’t bad.”
90 drops of class 5 mid-tier demonic beast essence blood had produced 300 strands of dragon elephant power. Li Fuchen was very pleased as he wasn’t just recovering the dragon elephant power, but it was newly produced dragon elephant power. He could feel his body getting strengthened and his qi and blood were stronger.
“If this stalk of Golden Scale Grass is used to produce earth class low-tier elixirs, it might have a better effect. But I cannot afford to consider so much now.”
Li Fuchen took out a stalk of grass that had golden scales on it. This stalk of medicinal herb was also obtained from the Black Sky Sect Ruins.
After stuffing the Golden Scale Grass into his mouth, Li Fuchen started chewing it.
The Golden Scale Grass was extremely crunchy. After crushing it, a burning hot fluid flowed into the stomach, making the abdominal area very comfortable. Immediately after, a boundless medicinal effect permeated into the inner part of the body and started to temper Li Fuchen’s qi and blood.
1850 strands, 1900 strands, 1950 strands.
The dragon elephant power in the deeper parts of Li Fuchen’s body was increasing again. This time, the speed and extent of increase was much faster than the class 5 mid-tier demonic beast essence blood.
Finally, when the dragon elephant power was reaching 2000 strands, the effects of the Golden Scale Grass had worn out.
“2000 strands of dragon elephant power. The current should be almost comparable to a 4th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist in terms of pure strength!”
For a Reincarnation Realm body refinement martial artist, the further the level, it hard it was to cultivate.
1500 strands of dragon elephant power was equivalent to a 3rd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist. Li Fuchen reckoned that he would need at least 2500 strands in order to be on par with a 4th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist. Of course, this was just an estimate. As for the exact level, Li Fuchen would only know after a test.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The Dragon Elephant Body Forging Chapters needs to be held off for now. After increasing so much strength, my cultivation level isn’t able to keep up. This is something I must abstain from during cultivation.
When the dragon elephant power reached 2000 strands, Li Fuchen could obviously feel that he couldn’t really utilize the dragon elephant power. This meant that his cultivation level couldn’t keep up. It was just like a child wielding a large saber who didn’t have enough strength and would need to grow up before using it.
“Battles are the best way to improve oneself. It is time to head to the Cloud Sun Mountains.”
Li Fuchen left the Cloud Guest Residence and before he left, he paid another month of deposit in advance.
“Leader, that kid is venturing out of the city.”
In a tavern not far away from the Cloud Guest Residence, there was an ordinary-looking grey-clothed man who would be hard to notice in a crowd. He opened the doors of a guest room and spoke with joy.
At the front of the living room table, there was a stalwart middle-aged man with sinister eyes who was seated.
“Finally venturing out of the city?” The sinister-looking man spoke with eyes that wanted to devour someone.
“When I return, I will definitely reward you.”
After drinking a mouthful of liquor that sinister man left swiftly.
“Leader is making a move for the first time after he advanced. This kid is truly unlucky!” The grey-clothed man walked to the table and poured a cup of liquor to drink.
They were the Hungry Wolf Group and were specialized in killing wealthy martial artists. But it was always the group leader that made the move because only the group leader was a Reincarnation Realm martial artist. Moreover, he wasn’t a 1st or 2nd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist., he was a 3rd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist.
Of course, if the group leader didn’t consume a Primary Ascension Elixir, he wouldn’t have advanced to the 3rd level of Reincarnation Realm.
After exiting Raging Inferno City, Li Fuchen headed straight for Cloud Sun Mountains.
But Li Fuchen frowned as there was a 3rd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist following him closely from behind.
“It seems like the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion leaked some information.” Li Fuchen thought to himself.
The Raging Inferno City was one of the top ten cities in the South Forest Region and definitely had crooks mixed within. There were also those that were specialized in hunting wealthy martial artists. If Li Fuchen didn’t guess wrongly, someone from Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion must have leaked his information. He didn’t know if Elder Huo was the mastermind.
Without reducing his speed, Li Fuchen traveled rapidly away from Raging Inferno City.
The vicinity of raging inferno city was definitely not a good place to battle.
“I bought a Primary Ascension Elixir for 3000 low-grade spirit stones. Just so happens that I can replenish some from you.” The sinister man laughed maliciously. It was obviously impossible for him to rely on himself to advance to the 3rd level of Reincarnation Realm. After he progressed to the Reincarnation Realm, he had hunted at least five Reincarnation Realm martial artists and dozens of Heaven Dipper Realm high-leveled or peak level martial artists. Doing so allowed him to obtain a large number of low-grade spirit stones to purchase the Primary Ascension Elixir.
Otherwise, with his innate potential, how was it possible for him to reach the 3rd level of Reincarnation Realm so quickly?
His path to advancement was the path of hunting.
Only by hunting would he be able to advance rapidly.
Unknowingly, the duo were already a few thousand miles away from Raging Inferno city.
“It is about time.”
The sinister man burst with speed and quickly caught up with Li Fuchen.
