Chapter 359 Reason and Greed
Seeing Qingyang fighting more and more bravely, the three corpses controlled by the blood demon Gu on the opposite side were more and more damaged and were about to lose their fighting power, while he was being held tightly by a group of damn bees and was about to step into the abyss of failure. Tao Youcheng finally made up his mind and prepared to burn his boats.
He flashed to the side and jumped into the blood pool. He grabbed an immature snow lotus seed and threw it into his mouth to chew it. Then he took out the small rattle and raised it in the air and shook it quickly. The drumbeats were rapid and strange, echoing in the stone hall, and also made Qingyang's heart beat fast, and his blood was boiling.
With the rapid drumbeats, the three corpses controlled by the blood demon Gu on the opposite side of Qingyang suddenly stopped attacking, and then abandoned Qingyang without hesitation and went in the direction of Tao Youcheng. Even the three corpses on the ground that had been severely injured struggled to climb up.
Qingyang suppressed the surging blood in his body, watching them gradually gather around Tao Youcheng, his heart full of questions, what on earth is this guy going to do? Is he going to perform some secret method?
Tao Youcheng smiled grimly at Qingyang, ran the rattle in his hand into the air, controlled it with true qi, and continued to shake it quickly, and his two hands directly pressed against the back of one of the corpses. I don't know what Tao Youcheng did, the corpse began to shrink rapidly like snow meeting the sun.
Qingyang in the distance was horrified, because he clearly felt that the breath emitted by the corpse was slowly weakening, and the essence of the whole body was gathering in one place. In just a few breaths, the corpse shrank into a skeleton.
Soon, a transparent little bug floated out of the skeleton. If it weren't for the bloody smell and a lot of true qi on the little bug, Qingyang couldn't find it with his divine mind.
Seeing the transparent little bug, Tao Youcheng showed a hint of joy on his face, and swallowed the transparent little bug into his mouth. As the bug entered his stomach, Tao Youcheng's aura began to grow slowly. If his cultivation level before could only be regarded as the entry level of Qi Refining Level 7, now it is at least equivalent to the perfection of Qi Refining Level 7, and only one step away from Qi Refining Level 8.
Tao Youcheng did not stop, and threw the useless skeleton aside, and grabbed another corpse next to him, put his hands on his back, and continued the previous action. The corpses controlled by the blood demon Gu did not resist at all, as if it was natural for Tao Youcheng to take their cultivation.
Looking at the unpredictable changes in front of him, and watching Tao Youcheng improve his cultivation level with his own eyes, Qingyang's heart had already set off a huge wave. Could this be the method he used to improve his cultivation level from the third level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining in just half a year? How could there be such a magical technique in this world?
Although the skills left by the Blood Demon Sect are bloody, there are still many advantages. Apart from other things, the means of quickly improving cultivation are enviable. If I can master such a method, what foundation building stage and golden elixir stage will not be far away?
Moreover, in the blood pool next to it, there is a blood lotus root that is about to mature. There is no worry at all. Do I want to take the risk? Do I want to grab all these things and practice secretly with the Blood Demon Skill under an assumed name? If so, it won’t take long for my cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, and I will stand at the top of the entire cultivation world of Jiuzhou Continent.
However, Qingyang calmed down soon. How can it be so easy in this world? There are pros and cons. Let’s not talk about whether I will break with the entire cultivation world after doing these things, and become a rat crossing the street and everyone will shout and beat it. Whether I can escape the pursuit of many immortal gates, the sequelae of quickly improving cultivation alone are not something I can bear.
It doesn't mean that you are infallible with blood lotus seeds. Although blood lotus roots are magical, they are not a heaven-defying treasure. They can only play an auxiliary suppressive role in this situation. It is impossible that the troubles of quickly improving cultivation can be completely solved just by taking snow lotus seeds.
Cultivation is like building a house. If the foundation is not solid, no matter how well the house is built, it is like a castle in the air, and problems will arise sooner or later. Even if I have been taking pills for a long time and have not improved to the third level in five years, I feel that I need to slow down my cultivation and must come out to experience it. If I improve to the fourth or fifth level in half a year, I am kidding my future.
No matter what shortcut, it is not so easy to take. If it is a last resort, it can be used occasionally. If you rely entirely on shortcuts to improve your cultivation, you will destroy yourself sooner or later. What's more, this method is too bloody and is despised by cultivators. Qingyang also disdains to do such things.
After careful consideration, Qingyang's rationality overcame greed, and his envy turned into disgust for Tao Youcheng's blood magic that could quickly improve his cultivation. This kind of harmful thing should not exist in the world at all. If there is a chance, it must be completely destroyed.
At this time, Qingyang finally understood that Tao Youcheng was going to burn his boats. Instead of being held back by Qingyang, it would be better to improve his cultivation first, use the huge difference between the two, quickly get rid of Qingyang, and then find a way to ripen the remaining blood lotus roots.
Although the effect of immature snow lotus seeds is greatly reduced, there are still some effects. As long as the rapidly agitated true qi and soul in the body are temporarily suppressed, there will be plenty of time to slowly solve these problems in the future.
After just a short delay, Tao Youcheng over there had already undergone a huge change. He continuously absorbed the blood demon Gu from five corpses and turned their cultivation into his own. At this time, his cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, almost reaching the peak of the Qi Refining period.
Tao Youcheng himself had completely changed into another person. His whole body was bloated and swollen, like a balloon that had been blown up, and it had expanded several times. Perhaps because he had absorbed too much blood demon Gu at one time and had not been completely digested, the excess energy was running around in his body, like countless mice wreaking havoc in his body.
A normal breakthrough for a cultivator would produce unbearable pain, not to mention this method of improving cultivation that broke the routine? The pain was simply unbearable for a normal person. If it weren't for the suppression of a half-ripened blood lotus seed, even a god couldn't stand it.
Tao Youcheng stood there roaring and wailing, his whole face becoming hideous and distorted because of the pain. He was worthy of being a man who could do such a thing to cut himself off from the entire world of immortal cultivation. His endurance was indeed amazing. He endured the pain, but his hands did not hesitate at all and grabbed the last corpse. It seemed that he wanted to break through to the foundation-building stage in one breath.
