C116

Inside the stone room, Cang Yun was sitting upright, with his five hearts facing the sky, looking at his nose and his heart, slowly adjusting his condition.

After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Cang Yun finally opened his eyes.

The depths of his deep eyes were like a deep pool of water from an ancient well. Not a single ripple could be seen on the surface of his eyes …

In the next moment, Cang Yun opened the medicine box in front of him, and instantly, a rich fragrance assaulted his nostrils. His fingers lightly twirled and retrieved all eight lotus seeds from the lotus seat into his palm.

Xiao Yan raised his long hand to his lips and a lotus seed slipped into his mouth.

Gulp!

As his throat rolled, he swallowed the lotus seed. A pure energy instantly spread throughout his body.

Because the lotus seed had already been cleansed by the power of yang flames, it no longer felt as hot as it did before. Instead, it felt like the morning sun, exuding a gentle warmth that was extremely pleasurable.

Strands of yang fire energy continued to seep out. Cang Yun used his source energy to carefully wrap around it, but he did not refine it. Instead, he slowly sent this power into a hidden meridian.

Looking inside, one would discover that at the end of this meridian channel, there was a node that was similar to a shackle. This node was the first Blood Meridian that one needed to open in order to cultivate a pure Yang body!

With a thought from Cang Yun, he controlled the yang energy and slowly poured it into the Blood Aperture.

Weng! *

Accompanied by a light cry, the blood aperture trembled for a moment. A drop of water suddenly fell onto the tranquil surface of the lake, forming a faint ripple. The power of the yang fire melted into it without any resistance.

Cang Yun's body warmed up slightly, but there was no ripple at all.

His finger curled slightly and two more lotus seeds entered his mouth. Then, they turned into pure Yang energy and entered his blood aperture through his meridians.

In an instant, the wind and clouds rose!

The rich yang energy constantly stirred within the blood cavities, causing ripples on the surface. In the depths, there seemed to be a mysterious energy taking shape, ready to break through the shackles of the blood cavities.

But that's not enough... Cang Yun could clearly feel that this new power was still very weak. It still needed an extremely huge amount of energy to break out of the shell!

Gulp!

Without the slightest hesitation, Cang Yun opened up his palm and swallowed all five remaining lotus seeds.

BOOM!

When the lotus seed entered his body, the blood cavities suddenly shook. An enormous amount of yang energy surged in like a sluicing flood.

Within the blood cavities, waves of shock wave rose up in waves. It was as if there was a thunderous roar that never ceased!

At the same time, an astonishing heat spread out from the blood hole, spreading to every inch of Cang Yun's body. His entire body was instantly roasted red, and a heart-wrenching pain arose involuntarily.

When the lotus seed was exhausted, Cang Yun could feel the new energy in the blood cavities growing. It was as if a newborn baby had grown into a childhood.

However, Cang Yun was not happy at all, because the greed that was clearly transmitted from the Blood Meridian made his heart palpitate. The Blood Meridian was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

In the past, Cang Yun had only used ten lotus seeds to wash the meridians in his entire body, and it had also successfully raised his cultivation by one level. But now, even though he had only opened the first aperture of the Pure Yang Body and used eight lotus seeds, there was not much of a reaction from it.

One hundred and eight blood orifices were more difficult to open than the other. At this moment, Cang Yun could not believe the days to come.

This was even more terrifying than burning money!

Suppressing the bitterness and helplessness in his heart, Cang Yun calmed himself down. He then picked up the fire lotus petal and started to chew with a painful expression.

The medicinal value of the fire lotus petal was extremely great. If it was used to refine pills, it would likely have the same effect as the lotus seed. However, in order to open the blood cavities, Cang Yun could only waste this natural resource.

As he chewed on the petal, a rich fragrance wafted out, but Cang Yun felt extremely bitter, because his mouth had wasted at least the fifth level of energy, if it were gold coins, it would have formed a mountain.

Cang Yun's heart was filled with grief and tears. The pain in his heart could completely compose a tragic history of blood and tears …

A few minutes later, he reluctantly swallowed the flower petal. However, the helplessness on his face did not decrease by even a bit. Instead, it became even more apparent.

Because... Not Enough...

Crack!

This time, Cang Yun could only pick up the remaining fire lotus roots and start nibbling on them. These fire lotus roots were truly bitter, like the fragrance of a flower petal.

After the root was finished, Cang Yun looked as though he was resigned to his fate … If that didn't work, he could only give up …

BOOM!

At this moment, the blood hole in his body shook for a moment. It was like a heavy hammer hitting the shackles of the blood hole from inside out.

Cang Yun's body trembled. He felt a heart-wrenching pain, causing his originally red face to suddenly turn white. He forced himself to sit down, and sweat began to pour out of his face like rain. Then, it was evaporated by the scorching heat, turning into smoke that filled his hideous face.

Dong, dong, dong!

Every time it sounded out, Cang Yun's face would turn paler by a bit, until it turned eight times. His face was already as pale as paper, and not a single trace of blood could be found within it.

Cang Yun grit his teeth and clenched his fists. His nails dug deep into his flesh and blood, but he was unaware. Compared to the pain in his body, this little bit of pain was insignificant …

He completely relied on his willpower to persevere, because he knew that the time for suffering to come was not far …

Dong!

Just as he finished his thought, the ninth echo rang out! The voice was like a thunderclap that lay dormant amidst the endless dark clouds. In an instant, it pierced through the darkness …

Puff!

Cang Yun could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, a smile appeared on his pale face.

"The first aperture …" "It opened …"

In an instant, a strand of pure and vast energy slowly gushed out from the blood hole in his body, spreading to his limbs and bones. As if the sun of spring was shining down, an indescribable feeling of comfort instantly spread throughout Cang Yun's entire body.

Cang Yun abruptly opened his eyes, and a bright light shone from the depths of his eyes. It was as if there was a sun embedded in his pupils, and as it opened and closed, it emitted a majestic aura that was both strong and powerful!

"Is this the pure Yang energy?"

At this moment, he seemed to have an inexhaustible strength. He had the feeling that even if a mountain was placed in front of him, he would still be able to destroy it with a single punch!

Of course, Cang Yun clearly knew that this was just an illusion brought about by the massive increase in strength, but he did not doubt that this wisp of pure Yang energy was too strong!
