Chapter 126 Breaking Through
A month later.
After refining all the medicinal energy in her body, Luo Qingchen looked at the data within her body.
Cultivation progress: 2950/3000!
Gilded Blood: 10/1000!
The cultivation progress is down to the last 50 points, and the gilded blood has only 10 points left.
In the final stage, the progress of cultivation slows down more and more.
However, with each medicinal bath, the amount of gilded blood required increases.
He could clearly feel that the acupoints and meridians throughout his body seemed to have been expanded, and each time he circulated his internal energy to temper his body, he needed more and more energy.
This is of course a good thing.
This indicates that the energy storage devices within his body have begun to grow larger.
The gateway to the next level is already clearly visible.
Once he successfully overcomes this hurdle, the power he possesses will be vastly different from what he had before!
But to break through this barrier, more and more energy is obviously needed.
Yesterday he discovered that the remaining gilded blood in his body seemed to be insufficient, so he sent Shangguan Yunman out hunting last night.
It's almost dawn outside, and the other person still hasn't returned.
It has been more than three months since he arrived in the Monster Forest.
These past few days, he has continued to observe the Ten Soul Banner every day, dripping blood on it daily. Seeing that the color has not faded and there are no holes on the banner, he is somewhat relieved.
But we can't delay any longer.
He must make a breakthrough as soon as possible this month and go back to fix things.
"Whoosh!"
He got up and practiced his swordplay.
Now his swordsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite, and he is releasing his power with increasing ease.
His current strength is equivalent to the peak of the Spirit Nourishing Realm.
Therefore, the energy released from the knife is much stronger than before.
They practiced from dawn until noon.
They practiced from morning until night.
However, Shangguan Yunman, who went out hunting last night, still hasn't returned.
He sheathed his sword, closed his eyes, and activated the blood pact within his body.
Bright red bloodstains appeared on his body.
But I still can't sense the other party's location.
Clearly, the other party's current location is beyond his sensing and control range.
Having learned his lesson last time, he did not venture out of the cave easily this time.
I went back to bed and rested for an hour.
Seeing that the other party had not yet returned, he sat cross-legged and began to continue cultivating with the Spirit Nourishing Technique.
In the blink of an eye, another night has passed.
When dawn broke, the other person still hadn't returned.
He tried to activate the blood pact within his body again, but still couldn't sense the other party.
He didn't think about it anymore.
After tidying up, I left the cave, ready to personally search for monsters in the vicinity.
Based on his cultivation speed over this period, hunting two more magical beasts should be enough for him to break through.
But as soon as they entered the woods, a strong smell of blood suddenly wafted towards them.
The smell of human blood!
This time, instead of hiding nearby, he immediately turned around and prepared to flee towards the waterfall.
The waterfall has a deafening roar that drowns out all other sounds.
The flowing water could conceal his aura.
"Whoosh!"
He jumped directly into the pool.
Not long after it sank to the bottom of the water, a figure suddenly appeared on the surface and jumped down with a "splash".
When the other person sank to the bottom of the water and saw him, the two stared at each other in disbelief.
Shangguan Yunman's black dress was stained with blood. When she saw him, she froze for a moment, then immediately put her finger to her lips, signaling him not to move.
Just then, several figures appeared above the waterfall.
The figures looked around from above for a moment, then immediately darted towards the woods on the right.
The two remained hidden underwater, motionless.
About half an incense stick's time later, Shangguan Yunman was the first to surface and look around.
Seeing that there was nothing amiss, he gave him a hand gesture.
Luo Qingchen then surfaced.
Shangguan Yunman swam to the bottom of the waterfall, using the rushing water to wash away the bloodstains on her body, and said, "I stole their magical beast, that's why they chased me. They were all inner disciples of your Demon-Slaying Sect, and one elder as well."
Her voice was drowned out by the roar of the waterfall.
However, because Luo Qingchen was relatively close, she could still hear it.
Luo Qingchen asked, "Are you injured?"
Shangguan Yunman, tilting her fair neck back to wash away some bloodstains, looked at him upon hearing this and said, "Shouldn't you be concerned about whether I've hunted any magical beasts?"
Luo Qingchen asked, "Did you catch anything?"
Shangguan Yunman did not answer, but raised her hand and took off the hairpin from her head.
A cascade of jet-black hair suddenly cascaded down, falling into the rolling waves.
She gathered her long hair together, tilted her head, and swept it over her right shoulder, placing it on her chest. While washing it, she said, "Do you think I've already run away again?"
Luo Qingchen replied, "Yes."
Shangguan Yunman snorted coldly and said, "In order to help you hunt magical beasts, I went even deeper into the magical beast forest and almost died there."
Luo Qingchen said, "Thank you."
Shangguan Yunman glanced at him and snorted, "No sincerity at all."
Then he unbuttoned his clothes and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Luo Qingchen immediately went ashore, leaped over the waterfall, and walked to a place where he could not see the pool below, carefully observing the surrounding movements.
Not long after.
Shangguan Yunman's voice came from below: "You can come down now."
Luo Qingchen glanced around again before leaping down through the gap.
Shangguan Yunman had already taken a shower and changed into a clean black dress, but her long hair was still wet, draped diagonally over her high breasts, and her beautiful face still had a few drops of water on it, giving her a unique kind of beauty.
"I hunted five magical beasts in total. The cave is too small, so I'll give them to you here."
After saying that, she immediately took out those magical beasts from her storage bracelet.
"Whoosh!"
The five magical beasts were all enormous, almost filling the entire valley beside the waterfall.
"You stay here and suck blood, I'll go up and keep watch for you."
Shangguan Yunman glanced at him, twisted her slender waist, and leaped lightly onto the waterfall.
Luo Qingchen didn't dare waste any time and immediately stretched out her palm to start sucking blood.
"Whoosh!"
From the wounds of the five magical beasts, a stream of red and green blood flew out simultaneously, then converged into a thick column of blood that quickly burrowed into his palm.
Moments later, the five enormous magical beasts were all sucked dry and emaciated.
When Shangguan Yunman saw this scene from above, her pupils still revealed a shock no less than when she first saw this skill.
The corpses, of course, should not be wasted.
Luo Qingchen put all five corpses into her storage bag before looking up and saying, "You can come down now."
Shangguan Yunman's figure flashed, and she landed lightly in front of him, her big, watery eyes staring intently at him.
A familiar, delicate fragrance wafted into his nose.
"Let's go back to the cave."
Luo Qingchen turned and walked towards the cave, her gaze sweeping over the data within her body.
Inside his body, the amount of gilded blood had increased dramatically from 10/1000 to 230/1000!
It seems that these five magical beasts are all quite powerful.
This time, he'll definitely be able to break through the barrier!
Back in the cave, he immediately started a fire to brew medicine.
Shangguan Yunman walked to her bed in the corner and sat down. She silently watched him for a while, then lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.
She didn't stop for a moment for two days and two nights in order to hunt the monster.
They were either busy searching or engaged in fierce battles, and they even encountered several groups of cultivators, fighting them several times.
So at this point, they were exhausted and extremely tired.
While brewing the medicine, Luo Qingchen roasted some meat. Just as he was about to call her to eat, he turned around and saw that she was already asleep. He paused for a moment and then remained silent.
After decocting the medicine, we began the medicinal bath.
This time, he directly dripped 40 drops of gilded blood into the medicinal bath!
After the medicinal bath, I began my cultivation.
Five days later, he had completely refined the medicinal energy within his body.
The internal cultivation progress has increased from 2950/3000 to 2990/3000!
Then, he lit a fire again to boil the medicine and took one last medicinal bath.
This time, he added 40 drops of gilded blood to the medicinal bath.
The surging medicinal energy was quickly absorbed into his body and then flowed rapidly through his meridians and acupoints.
He began the final refinement and sprint.
At this moment, Shangguan Yunman, who hadn't spoken for many days, finally couldn't help but ask, "Others cultivate by going out and experiencing various life-and-death trials before they can break through. Are you sure you can break through by hiding in a cave and cultivating on your own?"
"Furthermore, your cultivation seems far too frivolous."
Luo Qingchen looked at her and said, "Don't worry, if I still can't break through in five days, I will let you leave immediately."
"Five days later?"
Shangguan Yunman paused, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "It hasn't even been two months yet."
Luo Qingchen sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly closed her eyes, and said, "You helped me hunt five magical beasts, so it's only right that I let you leave early. If I still can't break through in five days, then it's my fate."
Shangguan Yunman stared at him for a while longer, then snorted, "You seem very confident, but I don't believe you can break through in five days."
Luo Qingchen closed her eyes and asked, "What if I could break through?"
Shangguan Yunman snorted coldly, raising her chin slightly: "If you can break through, I will—"
"What will you do?"
"I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver!"
Shangguan Yunman said.
Luo Qingchen opened her eyes and looked at her: "Didn't you say you only had two thousand taels of silver on you?"
Shangguan Yunman said, "Yes, I only have two thousand taels of silver on me, but I have a lot more in my cave. If you really can break through in five days, hmph, I will give it to you when I get back."
After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Luo Qingchen closed her eyes again and said, "It seems you're still afraid I won't let you leave, so you're trying to fool me with 100,000 taels of silver. It's alright, we'll see in five days."
"I didn't, I—"
"Alright, I need to cultivate now, don't disturb me."
Having said that, he began to circulate his internal energy, refining the medicinal power flowing through his body.
Shangguan Yunman quieted down and looked at him with deep, melancholy eyes.
