Chapter 104 Life Transformation
With each successful cycle, the newly generated verdant torrent of magical power grows stronger, and the sense of its surging power becomes increasingly clear.
At the same time, this vibrant magical power was constantly permeating and transforming his meridians, flesh, and even bones, making them more resilient, expansive, and better able to accommodate and transmit this unique life energy.
"This is the foundation of a top-tier cultivation technique..."
As Yang Changsheng looked inward at the vortex of magical power in his dantian, which was gradually changing from pale blue to emerald green and becoming increasingly pure, an indescribable shock and ecstasy welled up in his heart.
He could intuitively sense that the quality of the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture" was far superior to that of a common item like the "Mysterious Origin Technique".
Its magical power has nearly doubled in purity, with each strand containing a surging life force, flowing smoothly and endlessly.
Once you truly master it, the continuous transformation not only means a stronger explosive force and a faster recovery speed, but also represents a qualitative leap in your potential for future Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul Condensation!
What excited him most was the long lifespan characteristic, which could be combined with his own.
This was practically a heaven-defying foundation for changing his fate, tailor-made for a cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root like him!
As long as one cultivates steadily and endures the long years, one can rely on a lifespan far exceeding that of others of the same level.
He has every opportunity to reach a higher level and make up for his lack of talent.
However, this transformation is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.
Even with a continuous supply of precious mid-grade wood-attribute pills providing pure fuel, greatly accelerating the process, the essence of the cultivation technique was too profound, and the process of transforming the body was extremely complex.
Yang Changsheng estimated that it would take at least three to five years to completely transform all the magic power of the seventh level of Qi Refining and to initially stabilize the foundation of the newly formed "Azure Emperor Magic Power".
"Fortunately, the one thing I have plenty of is time. If it were other cultivators, they probably wouldn't even try to cultivate such a superior technique, thus affecting the optimal time for Foundation Establishment."
He calmed his mind, focused his attention on the depths of his Qi Sea, and guided the ever-growing torrent of azure magical power within his body, brimming with boundless vitality, to undergo a fundamental transformation.
All of my thoughts and energy were immersed in the resonance with the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture," feeling the essence of my own life being sublimated little by little.
……
Several hundred miles away from the safe zone of Qianxuefang City, in a secluded valley that was once filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a fierce battle between Qi Refining cultivators had just ended.
In the distance, towering ancient trees, some several dozen feet tall, were cut in half or uprooted. Scorched marks, crisscrossing magical spells, and huge claw marks covered the ground, leaving it in a state of utter devastation.
The intense stench of blood, mixed with the malevolent aura unique to demonic beasts, lingered in the air, sending chills down one's spine.
In the center of the battlefield, several corpses lay among rubble and broken branches, their deaths gruesome. They wore custom-made dark green first-grade high-quality magic robes, with a ferocious wolf head emblem embroidered on their chests.
This is the logo of the "Azure Wolf" demon-hunting team led by Liu Yanlong.
Blood soaked the ground beneath them, and broken magical artifacts, along with some beast pelts and spiritual herbs, were scattered everywhere.
They were clearly attacked and killed on their return journey. The battle was fierce, and their storage bags were destroyed.
A burly man, as tall as an iron tower and dressed in tight-fitting black leather armor, was squatting beside a corpse, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
He had a hideous scar on his face, running diagonally from his brow bone to the corner of his mouth, which added to his fierce appearance.
The spiritual pressure emanating from his body had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his murderous aura was overwhelming, clearly indicating that he was a ruthless character who killed without hesitation.
His rough fingers were twirling a piece of dark green cloth torn from a corpse, stained with dark red blood. The texture was exactly the same as the leather armor that Liu Yanlong often wore.
"Liu Yanlong..."
The burly man's voice was like sandpaper scraping, filled with overwhelming anger and greed.
He stared intently at the shards of fabric, as if he wanted to set them ablaze, and hissed in a low, cold voice:
"You ran away fast, damn it! The Mystic Spirit Fruit... and that thing... With your meager cultivation, you dare to greedily hoard it all? You really think you can rest easy once you've escaped back to that turtle shell in Qianxue Market?"
He raised his head, his scar contorted, and his hawk-like eyes flashed with a cruel and bloodthirsty light, fixed on the direction of Qianxuefang City, his gaze piercing through the dense forest.
"Never one of the prey that I, Blood Wolf Fan Tu, have set my sights on has ever survived! You may run away on the first day, but you can't hide on the fifteenth!"
The Mysterious Spirit Fruit is one of the main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. It is priceless and enough to drive any Qi Refining cultivator crazy.
What made him even more determined to obtain it was the mysterious and valuable item whose purpose was unknown, which Liu Yanlong's team had unexpectedly brought out from the depths of the guardian monster's nest when they discovered the Xuanling Fruit!
The fluctuations emanating from that thing caused a tremor deep within his soul. Its value far exceeded that of the Profound Spirit Fruit, and it might even be related to Foundation Establishment or Core Formation cultivators.
Behind Fan Tu, three figures flew in from afar, their magical power fluctuating violently.
One was tall and thin, carrying two swords on his back, with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake; the other was short and stocky, holding a giant axe with a demonic head, and with a face full of scars.
The last person was shrouded in a large black cloak, exuding a chilling aura, with several bulging leather bags hanging from his waist.
All three were at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and their bodies were also surrounded by murderous aura, clearly indicating that they were all seasoned and desperate criminals.
They stood silently behind Fan Tu, their gazes also fixed on the direction of Qianxue Market, their killing intent undisguised.
"Brother, the man surnamed Liu is seriously injured. He can't have gone far with the Xuanling Fruit and that treasure. He must be hiding in the market to heal his wounds and sell the stolen goods."
The tall, thin, snake-like cultivator said in a sinister tone.
"His entire squad, except for him, was wiped out here, leaving him as a lone commander, at his weakest point."
"Hmph, he thinks he's safe hiding in the market? Our Blood Wolf Gang isn't without connections in the market... Once we find his hideout, he'll be outnumbered eventually! Market rules? Heh heh, the dead can't talk."
The short, stocky monk replied in a deep, muffled voice, hefting the ghost-headed axe in his hand.
"When he finally escaped, he was tainted with my secret-recipe Soul-Tracking Incense. As long as he's still within the market, even if he burrows underground, I can dig him out! It just will take some time..."
The figure beneath the cloak emitted a hoarse laugh, as terrifying as an owl.
"Good! I'm going to have that Xuanling Fruit and the treasure! Send the order down to the market to keep a close eye on Liu Tinglong and the area around him! Once things have calmed down, I'll personally send him on his way!"
Fan Tu grinned cruelly, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
Although he was just a Qi Refining cultivator, he had a powerful figure behind him who had served him loyally for many years, and the energy he could mobilize was extraordinary.
A mere demon-hunting captain, instead of handing over the opportunity he obtained, wanted to devour it; he was simply courting death.
That being is not afraid of the newly risen Foundation Establishment Lu family at all. It involves an earth-shattering opportunity, and in order to prevent the news from leaking out, all relevant personnel can be killed.
