The upper part of the herb was a bunch of unremarkable grass with a blue-gray outline on the edge. The lower part was a tuber buried underground with some dried soil.

Its name was Septimus, and it wasn’t hard to tell from its name that it was a herb with a Yin nature.

The quality of herbs could also be divided into three grades. This Septimus was a third-grade high-level herb suitable for body tempering stage one. If the quality of the herb were too high, it would fall short.

Charles untied the silk bag from his waist and took out the 30 drops of blood essence he had collected. He also took the blood essence of the strange giant snowman and put it together with the herbs.

There were all kinds of strange treasures on the strange Yeti, and one of them was an alchemy cauldron. Charles guessed that it was collecting herbs to make some tonic.

Charles put the blood essence and herbs into the cauldron. The cauldron was used in the same way as the Grassman. He just had to inject energy into it. He didn’t know how much blood essence he needed to complete level one body tempering, so he put everything in.

Soon, the herbs were neutralized into the blood essence, and the red beads became brighter and glowed red. Then, the red light flew out of the small mouth of the medicine refining cauldron and, little by little, melted into Charles’s body from various parts.

Charles instantly felt a violent force reverberating in his body. He knew it had begun to absorb the energy in the blood essence, so he quickly adjusted his breathing and tried to calm his restlessness.

The blood essence was absorbed into Charles’s body little by little. There were more than ten drops, but it still didn’t stop.

This body-tempering process took Charles an incredibly long time.

Half an hour later, Charles’s body finally stopped absorbing the blood essence of demonic beasts, and there were only three drops of blood essence left in the cauldron.

In other words, he had absorbed thirty drops of demonic beast blood essence to reach the first layer of body refining tier!

“Could it be that my body has been strengthened by the system and is beyond ordinary people, so I need a large amount of blood essence?”

An average person would only need ten drops of blood essence to enter the first layer of the body refining tier. Moreover, it was the blood essence of a demonic beast of the first bloodline. Five or six drops would be enough if it were the blood essence of a demonic beast of the second bloodline.

Even a strong man who weighed more than 400 pounds would only need fifteen drops of blood essence of a one-bloodline demon beast or ten drops of blood essence of a two-bloodline demon beast at most.

As for Charles, he had absorbed 30 drops of blood essence of a two-Meridian demon beast at once. Such a massive amount of energy filled his body, and an ordinary person would have bled from all seven apertures.

Charles tried his best to calm his restless body. He felt that every part of his body was constantly absorbing pure energy. He didn’t know where to use the energy in his body. He just wanted to run out immediately and do dozens of laps around the monster forest!

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, system, what’s my self-disciplined mission today?!”

A lot of exercise or fighting could speed up the absorption and fusion of the blood. Charles certainly wouldn’t waste this energy.

[Ding! [Today’s self-disToday’sd mission: carry a 400-pound boulder and squaToday’stimes!] A thousand handstand push-ups! [ 6 minutes!]

Before the system’s voice had died away, Charles jumped to the rock wall where he had crashed into during the previous battle. He picked up a large rock as tall as a person and began to do a deep squat without stopping!

During the intense exercise, the energy from Charles’s blood essence that hadn’t been absorbed and was rampaging in his body was gradually absorbed.

“574,575,576,577······.”

In less than ten minutes, Charles absorbed about fifteen drops of blood essence energy.

After a thousand squats, Charles felt he had experienced a lot and was not tired.

He didn’t rest. Instead, he pushed his palms up and did a handstand push-up.

Handstand push-ups and ordinary push-ups were completely different concepts. The difficulty of the former was far more significant!

But even so, Charles finished it quickly and could immediately go for a backup.

Charles completed the self-disciplined task that would have taken a day to complete in less than an hour!

At the same time, he had finally absorbed all the energy from the thirty drops of blood essence. Every inch of his bones, bones, and muscles underwent earth-shaking changes.

Charles felt that he had more than doubled in strength. In addition to his extraordinary physique, he could barely defeat a two-star Grassman previously. He felt it would not be a problem to defeat a three-star Grassman.

This was already the combat strength of a first-tier second Meridian subdued beast!

Of course, it was an ordinary familiar, far inferior to the frost Dragon Whelp.

[Ding! [Congratulations, host. You have completed Today’s self-discipline task and are rewarded with 120 self-discipline ToToday’sDing! [Congratulations, host. You’ve completed five dToToday’slf-discipline. The system store has been unlocked!]

Charles opened the system store and saw that he had unlocked another item called “evolution stone,” which required 20 points of self-discipline.

[Evolution stone: A necessary material for a Dragon familiar to evolve from one bloodline to two bloodlines!]

Charles remembered that the familiars of the older students in the Academy seemed to have eaten more supplements when they advanced to the second Meridian.

In other words, only the familiars of the dragon clan would need this evolution stone when they were evolving to the second bloodline. This evolution stone could be imagined as priceless in the outside market.

Moreover, only the prominent families with Dragon Tamers could use them.

In this way, the price of 20 points was indeed not high.

Charles didn’t immediately exchange for the evolution stone. Instead, he exchanged all 120 points for the growth potion.

After all, the most important thing now was to level up quickly.

After drinking 120 bottles of [growth potion].

The frost Dragon Whelp burped, and its level rose from rank five to rank six.

Right now, he could defeat the snow Wolf King even without using his bloodline power.

However, its appetite was getting bigger and bigger—one hundred twenty bottles of growth potions. According to the market price of a few thousand dollars a bottle, the frost Dragon Whelp had consumed about 500000 to 600000 Alliance dollars in one meal.

As expected, only affluent families could afford to raise a Dragon. Even if a poor kid were talented enough to summon a Dragon, without the support of a large family, he would probably die in poverty before he could become a strong person.

In the face of his system, all treasures were cheap compared to self-discipline.

At the same time as the frost Dragon Whelp leveled up, Charles’s body received another enhancement. In total, he had been enhanced five times.

He then turned his gaze back to the pile of treasures from the strange snowman.

Especially those two spiritual weapons!
