Chapter 416: Underground Worm Path

Refine the origin blood?

Jiang Li saw an interesting term in appraisal.

There was definitely something wrong with this Origin Blood Ancient Leech.

“Leave quickly!”

Behind him, Guhei Zhuohou shouted and grabbed Jian Mo who had yet to react. He did not hesitate to mobilize his spiritual qi and jump on the black stalagmite to escape, rushing towards the center of the island.

This fellow would actually bring this younger sister along when fleeing and would even take the initiative to remind others, causing Jiang Li to be slightly surprised.

However, Jiang Li had no intention of fleeing with him.

Spiritual light spewed out from his right hand, turning into a wooden sword that landed in his hand. He casually slashed horizontally, instantly beheading the corpse of Guhei Daniu who was rushing over in a strange posture.

“20 times the expenditure of spiritual qi? How terrifying.”

With just a simple wooden sword, the energy consumed was enough to transform into a twenty-meter-tall wooden puppet in the outside world.

If it was an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, they would probably be squeezed dry after three tries.

Eh?

However, Daniu with his head sent flying did not fall to the ground.

A black tentacle formed from hundreds of Origin Blood Ancient Leeches spewed out of his neck and grabbed the flying head.

He actually pulled his head back and put it back on his neck. He stretched it a little and it was no different from before.

At this moment, more and more black maggots crawled out from under the rock ground.

Including the pair of siblings and all the other pirates, they had all lost their vitality and stopped struggling.

Then, more and more of the Origin Blood Ancient Leeches burrowed into their bodies, causing them to stand up again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! After their bodies were controlled by the black maggots, it seemed to have stimulated the potential of their bodies to the limit, causing the muscles of these mortals to swell explosively, and their arms swelled to the size of thighs. After that, they pounced towards Jiang Li together.

“What an interesting thing. It can unleash such power without using spiritual qi.”

A green-black sword light flashed, and all the controlled corpses were cut into more than twenty pieces. However, just like before, such an attack still could not kill them.

Under the pull of the black maggots, the shattered body stuck together again and continued to pounce towards Jiang Li. Under such circumstances where spiritual qi was lost at any time, it was indeed quite troublesome to face such an opponent that was not easy to kill. It was no wonder that Guhei Zhuohou had avoided them and fled without fighting.

“However, insects are insects.”

Jiang Li slapped the ground and used the spiritual qi of the Nine Nether Tree Realm that could be used once to summon vines that were roughly the size of chopsticks to tie up all these fellows.

“No matter what you are, you shouldn’t like this.”

Jiang Li’s aura changed. The power of the Nine Nether Asura had already transformed into a blood-colored chaotic energy.

A blood-colored ball of light slapped into one of the controlled corpses.

The corpse that was originally struggling instantly stopped.

In the next moment, as if they were fleeing for their lives, a large number of Origin Blood Ancient Leeches spewed out of his body, wanting to burrow into the ground and escape.

However, how could Jiang Li let them off?

He took out a crystal bottle.

His right hand was stuck to the bottom of the bottle. Immediately, a suction force emerged from the mouth of the bottle and absorbed the black maggots that fled.

Without a parasitic body, these maggots were quite weak and could not break through the binding of the crystal bottle. They could only crawl uselessly inside.

After that, Jiang Li used the same method again, and he forced out all the remaining corpses.

Soon, there were only broken limbs and remains on the ground. “As expected, the meaning of the existence of these maggots is to absorb the blood of the children of the Dragon Transformation Island’s Dragon Head.”

Jiang Li looked at the more than twenty crystal bottles on the ground.

Three of the worms in the crystal bottles were emitting a faint red light.

The worms in the three crystal bottles were forced out of Guhei Daniu and the twins.

Moreover, these red Origin Blood Ancient Leeches were even more active than the other black maggots.

From the looks of it, they wanted to return somewhere.

It just so happened that Jiang Li was free now, so he could completely send them on their way.

He rummaged through the coffin and found a compass. This was the equipment given to him by the sect when he was learning rune array formations.

Unfortunately, Jiang Li did not need to calculate the earth vein at all. He could just use his eyes to look.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

He closed his eyes again and silently tried to cultivate this Qi Condensation Technique.

Wasn’t the current environment where spiritual qi was lost the best environment to cultivate the Qi Condensation technique?

On the ground, Guhei Zhuohou, who had quickly crossed more than half a distance by consuming spiritual qi, finally could not endure it. His feet softened, and he fell to the ground with Jian Mo.

The closer he got to the center of the island, the faster the spiritual qi dissipated.

The last spirit stone in his hand had already turned to dust. He had run so far just now.

He could sense that his Nascent Soul had already wrinkled and begun to wither.

The outcome of a Nascent Soul shattering was much worse than a Void Core cultivator. It was basically death.

“You have a good subordinate who’s actually willing to block those insects for us.”

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked behind and noticed that Jiang Li did not follow him, so he came up with a reason in his mind.

He could not help but look at his foreign sister in surprise.

It was hard to imagine how a “Nascent Soul cultivator” could do this for a mortal.

“Sir Li Jiang is not my subordinate. He’s my benefactor!”

Hearing Guhei Zhuohou’s words, Jian Mo could not help but tear up. Ever since she was young, besides her mother, only Jiang Li approved of her and treated her the best.

In the beginning, she saved “Sir Li Jiang” from the sea and used the black pearl to treat his injuries, moving this powerful cultivator.

As for “Sir Li Jiang”, he first risked his life to save her on the ship despite his serious injuries.

In order to help her and her mother, not only had they come to the Dragon Transformation Island where their injuries had yet to recover, but they had even used themselves to resist the danger.

They had only known each other for a few days, but she felt that the two sides had already risked their lives several times.

Sir Li Jiang’s kindness completely captured her wandering heart.

In the next half of her life, not to mention offering herself, even if she was a servant, Jian Mo would not hesitate at all.

“Don’t be stunned. He might not be dead yet. If you can pass the trial in time and become the young miss of the Dragon Transformation Island, you can bring people to save him.”

“Now, use these spikes to seal my acupuncture points as I said!”

While Jian Mo’s eyes were blurry, Guhei Zhuohou found a thorn at the side.

After removing the long thorn, he handed it to his sister.

“Sir Li Jiang! You must wait for me! I’ll definitely come back to save you!”

Wiping away her tears, Jian Mo, who had been strong since she was young, grabbed those thorns and aimed at the location that Zhuohou had told her. She ruthlessly stabbed them into the body of the young master.

“Gasp!! You missed it!”

After an unprofessional acupuncture session, Guhei Zhuohou continued to walk towards the center of the island with Jian Mo’s help.

The closer he got to the center, the faster the spiritual qi would flow. As time passed, Zhuohou would quickly lose all his strength and be on the verge of death.

He clearly knew that it was impossible for him to rely on his own strength to reach the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Guhei Zhuohou chose to bring Jian Mo along for this reason. Only mortals who were not affected here could bring him to the end.

Two hours, four hours, six hours. In an underground tunnel, there was a whistling wind. Somewhere in the tunnel, a figure was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was like an endless spiritual qi spring, spewing out a large amount of spiritual qi. The spiritual qi surged out too quickly. One could even see a ball of spiritual qi that was ten feet tall on his body.

As Jiang Li formed seals with his hand, the flames on his body sometimes spiraled, sometimes contracted, and sometimes spewed out even more exaggeratedly.

Ordinary cultivators would have died countless times if they spat out spiritual qi like this, but Jiang Li’s expression did not change at all from the beginning to the end. After a total of 108 seals, Jiang Li’s Dragon Pearl Golden Core suddenly shook, emitting a force that caused the surrounding spiritual qi to begin to gather and condense.

The spiritual qi around Jiang Li also began to contract and slowly withdrew into his body.

[Successfully used the Qi Condensation Technique. Added Status: Qi Condensation.]

(Qi Condensation: Condenses spiritual qi. Resists 80% of the Spirit Dispersion effect. The power of spiritual qi will be increased by 30%. Duration: 3 seconds] (- +)

Jiang Li’s face lit up. Success!

He had tried for six hours before successfully using the Qi Condensation Technique for the first time.

This Qi Condensation could only last for three seconds and was extremely unstable. If he was distracted or moved, he would immediately return to his original form. It was far from being completed.

However, to him, it was enough.

He pressed the plus button for another five seconds. This (Qi Condensation) status was fixed on his body.

He got up and felt it. Sure enough, although the spiritual qi in his body was still flowing out, the speed had slowed down greatly. It was only about 20% of its original speed.

It was impossible to completely prevent the spiritual qi from dissipating. If he could really do that, the ancient Immortal and Buddha mighty figures would not have disappeared without a trace. Jiang Li pushed forward, and the stone door emitted a heavy friction sound, revealing the passageway behind it.
