Chapter 121: Blood Purifying Coral

Murong Lin slowly retracted his blade, leaving behind an inconspicuous wound at the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python’s weak point, from which not a single drop of blood oozed.

His expression remained largely unchanged as he surveyed the surroundings and began the process of cleaning up the scene.

By this point, the Bloody Poisonous Insect dwelling within his acupoint could no longer contain itself. It swiftly took flight, its wings flapping rapidly as it landed on the python’s back.

Murong Lin casually tossed Lu Feng Xian’s corpse to the Bloody Poisonous Insect, allowing it to absorb his blood to enhance its strength.

Though the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python’s eyes bore an indignant glare, his body gradually grew cold. Nonetheless, this did not deter the insect from draining its blood. The tiny creature quickly crawled into the python’s body.

After absorbing all of the blood essence, the insect moved on to Lu Feng Xian’s body to extract his strength and blood essence.

Finally, it concluded its absorption and the insect flew unsteadily back toward Murong Lin.

He received the insect with his hand, holding it still and observing its plump form. He sensed that the insect was preparing for imminent hibernation. With a surge of his spiritual powers, Murong Lin returned the insect to its Bloody Poisonous Insect Acupoint.

Murong Lin summoned the Blood Bat Locusts once more, directing the Sky Reaching realm locusts to devour the remaining corpses in the vicinity.

The vast swarm of Blood Bat Locusts worked quickly, sweeping the area clean. The ground was once again upturned, bearing no traces of the fierce battle that had taken place moments earlier.

Only then did Murong Lin shift his gaze toward the lake.

The reason for his ruthless act in killing the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python lay solely in the python’s fortuitous discovery.

In Sheng Yi’s memories, he had learned that the python had cultivated a ‘Blood Purifying Coral’ at the lake’s bottom.

The Blood Purifying Coral was a higher Sky grade spiritual medicine, and upon reaching a thousand years of age, it could evolve into the ‘Dragon Blood Purifying Coral’, ascending to the lower Barren grade.

Its primary function was to purify the blood of those who consumed it, eliminating impurities and infusing it with the aura of the great Dao.

The Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python would wait another seven years for the Blood Purifying Coral to reach a thousand years old and evolve, and upon consuming it, he could significantly enhance the strength of his dragonic bloodline. In just a few decades, he would ascend to the Abhijñā realm, relying solely on the power of his dragon blood.

Sheng Yi had overlooked this treasure due to the extended time it would take for the Blood Purifying Coral to mature, as well as his own limited strength that prevented him from venturing into the depths of the Demonic Beast Forest. Furthermore, there was virtually no possibility of successfully stealing the ‘Blood Purifying Coral’ from the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python.

Murong Lin approached the lakeside and, with a surge of his spiritual powers, swiftly submerged himself into the water, disappearing from view.

The lake’s waters were exceptionally clear, allowing fragments of sunlight to penetrate deep beneath its surface.

While these issues hadn’t posed immediate problems, ever since he began refining his own soul upon ascending to the Sky Reaching realm, he became acutely aware of the impurities within his body.

The instability of his earlier cultivation combined with the contamination caused by his excessive reliance on ‘Human Blood Pills’ had begun to hinder his progress at the Sky Reaching realm.

Initially, he had sought a solution in the system shop to address these problems, but the exorbitant price of the item made him feel like the shop was purposefully scamming him.

It was then that he recalled the legendary ‘Blood Purifying Coral’ hidden deep within the treacherous Demonic Beast Forest, causing a desire for this item to well up within him.

As the blood-like liquid from the Blood Purifying Coral completely fused with Murong Lin’s body, his body began to tremble gradually, and a hint of redness appeared beneath his skin.

Impurities and traces of blood began to ooze from his pores, and his aura gradually steadied, undergoing a transformation in the process.

Under the influence of this potent spiritual medicine, his once impure blood Qi began to purify. Even the Bloody Poisonous Insect dwelling within his acupoint underwent a purification process as its wings fluttered.

Soon, all the impurities expelled from Murong Lin’s body instantly fell to the ground, emitting a nauseating odour.

Murong Lin remained entirely unperturbed. Instead, he skillfully guided the ‘Evil of Lifelessness, Lawlessness, and Formlessness’ to merge with his blood, refining the energy from his Manifestation transformation and incorporating it into his own flesh.

His foundation gradually stabilised, expanding like a cup that could now hold more.

He promptly activated the《Lifelessness Law》, propelling his cultivation to advance.

With the formidable strength of his soul, his cultivation began to inch forward as his flesh underwent refinement, pushing his progress even further.
