The Innate Body, advancing truly feels different.
Everything went very smoothly.
Whether in the power of True Qi or all aspects of the body, at the basic level, there hasn't been much enhancement.
Compared to the peak of True Liquid, at most there's only about a 10% increase.
But from now on, through the method of vibrating Qi and blood, one can release stronger power, with destructive force at least doubling.
After Blood Shock, a martial artist's destructive power accelerates until reaching Grandmaster, not inferior to any race.
The cost of vibrating Qi and blood is also great; overuse can cause rupturing of meridians and blood vessels.
"When I go back, I'll need to buy a large amount of Blood Melting Pill, Solid Vein Pill, and Iron Wall Pill, collectively known as the Shock Blood Three Pills."
"If I get a hundred of each, it will cost six billion."
"No wonder Innate Martial Artists are so strong, and can earn so much money, yet most of them don't look that wealthy."
"The higher you go, the more resources you need."
"Theoretically, without taking enough Solid Vein Pill and Iron Wall Pill, I can't casually perform Blood Shock because it would damage the meridians and blood vessels."
"However, with various Powerful Body enhancements, previous medicinal enhancements, and the current Radiant Juice and Ancient Tree Fossil, they also provide strengthening."
"Most crucially, the vitality of the body is strong enough, even if the meridians and blood vessels are injured, they can be quickly repaired, not to mention having a large amount of insect juice and Mammoth Lake water."
Zhou Leng rummaged through the Magic Spirit Bag and found the Shock Blood Three Pills.
But along the way, he killed many demons; some demons reinforced themselves with Blue Star Elixirs, while others gained by killing other Innates.
The Blood Melting Pill was the most plentiful, 12 pills. It's a bestseller across the Ten Realms because it enhances blood power, something most races urgently need.
The Iron Wall Pill came next, 8 pills. All races need it to reinforce blood vessels, including Demon Spirit Masters, as a life-extending drug.
The Solid Vein Pill was the least, 3 pills. Only martial artists need it; other races find it useless, and some demons even eat it directly as a snack.
Zhou Leng first consumed the Blood Melting Pill.
A pill entered his belly and its medicinal power entered the bloodstream.
The once peaceful blood ignited.
The blood flowed quietly, but now the entire body felt like it was flowing with fire, burning the vessels.
Zhou Leng took a deep breath, letting his heart pump the blood faster.
Unconsciously, he recalled a few sentences from the second part of the "Star Gazing Technique".
He hadn't noted it before, brushing it off as just an ordinary blood transport technique.
Now, as he felt the blood flow, it gradually became clear.
Those short nine words weren't just for blood transport, but were also an advanced technique for absorbing blood-type medicines.
In his mind, those nine Divine Texts emerged.
The Divine Texts rotated slowly.
His breathing slowly changed, and his heartbeat followed suit.
Carefully listening, the heartbeat seemed to turn into a percussion instrument, like a xylophone, crisp and melodious, occasionally transforming into the sound of bell and drum, grand and vast.
The heart's sound transports blood.
With the constant beating of the heart, the rhythm of the blood circulation changed as well.
The process of absorbing the medicinal power of the blood was also unique.
Originally mildly warm blood, its heat rose sharply, eventually seeming to boil.
Boiling Blood for Refining Medicine.
Though the Blood Melting Pill's medicinal power is strong, ordinary martial artists can only absorb about 30%, with most lost during absorption, seized by other tissues, or discharged after idle circulation.
People of Dragon Country have the medicinal supplement national divine technique, absorbing about 40%.
Those with unusual talents can absorb 60-70%.
Through heart's sound blood transport and boiling blood refining medicine, the absorption rate reached 90%.
Paired with the medicinal supplement divine technique, the absorption rate was infinitely close to 99%.
Zhou Leng continuously absorbed the medicinal power.
As the blood cooled, he carefully perceived it.
The aura of red, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood had significantly changed.
Ordinary people's blood is quite typical.
A martial artist's blood is stronger but without fundamental change.
After a Blood Shocking Innate absorbs a Blood Melting Pill, the blood seemed to gain life.
After heart's sound blood transport, the blood felt similar to True Qi and could already be controlled.
Zhou Leng's consciousness entered a blood vessel in his right hand,
Platelets, fibrin, and blood cells gathered into a clot, and within seconds, the vessel was blocked.
Upon giving another command, the clot slowly dispersed and ten seconds later, the vessel was fully restored.
The Blood Shocking Innate can control blood to some extent, but such control is indeed rare.
Manipulating Qi into the blood.
A wondrous feeling welled up in his heart.
Compared with before, now the Qi blood felt lighter, and the Qi accommodated in the blood was much more.
The total amount of Qi accommodated in the plasma and blood cells increased by a whole 50% compared to before.
After familiarizing himself with the new changes, Zhou Leng then took the Iron Wall Pill and Solid Vein Pill, both having very noticeable effects.
Especially when taking the Iron Wall Pill, it could even stimulate the blood of Original Demon and Ancient God's Blessing and such power, the actual effect of blood vessel enhancement was ten times the normal medicinal effect.
Previously, because of insufficient realm and strength, the body finally welcomed explosive growth.
Subsequently, trying "Blood Shock".
Zhou Leng closed his eyes tightly, his vessels filled with True Qi, causing all the blood vessels in his body to bulge.
Under the skin, blood vessels protruded, like one by one, blue earthworms.
Circulating Star Gazing True Qi.
True Qi within the Dantian rushed into every blood vessel in the arms at a speed much faster than usual.
In that instant, the total amount of True Qi within the arm's vessels reached twice the usual.
All blood vessels shuddered, then a punch was thrown out.
Qi blood surged, all compressed into the right fist.
The skin and flesh of the right fist suddenly expanded, increasing by a full circle.
The right fist struck out, white Qi burst out, breaking through the air in front, with a subtle explosive sound.
After retracting his fist, the blood vessels beneath his skin gradually contracted.
The so-called Blood Shock technique involves rapidly gathering True Qi at the point of attack, delivering a destructive force far greater than before.
Part of the True Qi in this process protects the body, but continuous strikes still cause damage.
Feeling the blood vessels and flesh, there was no injury at all.
Zhou Leng employed the Blood Shock technique and began executing the Celestial Tide Palm.
As his palm unleashed waves, the whooshing sound of air being torn apart was incessant.
He performed over a hundred palms, each palm carrying the Blood Shock, and stopped when he felt tired, sensing his martial arts abilities.
"A hundred palms with Blood Shock is the limit for a Blood Shocking Innate. I wonder how my blood vessels and meridians are doing."
With these thoughts, Zhou Leng carefully observed his body.
"Hmm?"
The meridians were calm, the blood vessels smooth, showing no signs of injury.
Either the meridians and blood vessels were too strong, or there was damage that healed quickly.
Zhou Leng nodded slightly.
His past abilities were just ordinary, but now, there was finally something different.
The trip to the Tree-man World had not been in vain.
After some thought, he performed another hundred palms with Blood Shock and still felt nothing.
Three hundred, four hundred, five hundred palms...
It wasn't until he surpassed a thousand palms that he felt his meridians and blood vessels reach their limit.
In his martial arts perception, the inner walls of the blood vessels showed many tiny scratches, but they were healing rapidly.
"However, cultivation and actual combat are different."
"The force in cultivation is singular, while in actual combat, the whole body is impacted, doubling the damage from Blood Shock."
Nonetheless, doing five hundred palms with Blood Shock was already beyond the ordinary Bone Forger Innate.
The advantage of a Bone Forger Innate over a Blood Shocking Innate lies in the hardness of the bones, which transmit power quickly and strongly, making them harder to damage.
But in the face of the Giant Body and Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body, it's still not enough.
After taking a Nourishing Essence Pill, he meditated on the spot, waiting to replenish his True Qi before beginning a new level of cultivation.
With True Qi compressed thirteenfold, along with constant supplements, the total amount of True Qi in his body had surpassed that of a Bone Forger.
He could activate True Qi Perpetual Motion.
Zhou Leng stood silently, and with a thought, the Star Gazing Technique began to operate quickly.
When the Star Gazing True Qi filled all his meridians and blood vessels, he controlled his dantian, slowly reducing the flow of True Qi.
Once the flow of True Qi slowed to a tenth of its usual speed, he maintained it at that pace.
When it sped up, he pushed it back.
When it slowed down, he sped it up.
When still, he could easily maintain True Qi Perpetual Motion.
Soon, Zhou Leng was walking while maintaining True Qi Perpetual Motion.
This led to various situations, sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow, sometimes vibrating, sometimes unstable.
Zhou Leng's True Qi manipulation was extremely strong, and within half an hour, he completed the routine True Qi Perpetual Motion, achieving the first layer of True Qi Perpetual Motion.
The second layer involved maintaining True Qi Perpetual Motion during high-intensity movement.
This required a longer period of practice.
While maintaining the state of True Qi Perpetual Motion, Zhou Leng discussed the current situation regarding the Blood Hunt, Silver Lake Town, and the Elf Tribe with the Wild Elves.
The Blood Hunt was about to end, and by then, they would be teleported away, so preparation was necessary in advance.
Zhou Leng turned to Xiaoyong and said, "You might be teleported into the Elf prison."
Xiaoyong responded cheerfully with a chirp.
The elf who understood the giant insect language looked helpless, and the Wild Elf responsible for translating said, "He said he went in underground before, and from the dead prisoners inside, he obtained medicinal fruit, then left after eating it."
Zhou Leng said, "I underestimated you."
Xiaoyong rolled around happily.
Looking at Silver Lake Moon, Zhou Leng said, "As a Prophet and a Saint, I should have some privileges, right?"
Silver Lake Moon was stunned for a moment, then recalled that in ancient times, foreign prophets would be married into the tribe, blushing, she whispered, "We are willing."
Some female elves blushed as well, lowering their heads, feeling both confused and joyful, filled with contradictions.
To gain favor from a Saint was indeed equivalent to reaching the sky in a single bound within the Elf Tribe.
"Good, then give me all your high-energy shells, I need them to revive the Elf Tribe," said Zhou Leng.
The nearby elves were stunned, and the faces of Silver Lake Moon and other elves turned even redder. Hastily, they began searching in a fluster for star conches,
To the Wild Elves, star conches were merely a relatively precious decoration and ornament, comparable to ordinary human gemstones, with no inflated market value, their actual price wasn't high.
Before long, the elves produced a large number of star conches.
At this moment, the elves from large families were particularly generous, as they were not lacking in these items.
Ultimately, the total number of star conches in Zhou Leng's possession reached 5000.
The speed of cultivating the Undying Star Body would further accelerate.
Just as Zhou Leng was about to thank the elves, he heard the crisp sound of shells clattering against each other.
Turning his head, he saw a pile of star conches as tall as a person, stacked like a small mountain.
If not five thousand, then at least three thousand.
"Chirp chirp, chirp chirp..." Xiaoyong happily rolled around the small mountain of star conches.
"Are these for me?" Zhou Leng asked.
Xiaoyong nodded repeatedly.
"You've got quite the stash, haven't you?"
Xiaoyong burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
The elves covered their mouths, laughing.
Zhou Leng collected the shells, quickly counting them—over four thousand three hundred.
The total number of star conches was nearing ten thousand.
If the Blood Hunt weren't about to end, he would have sat down immediately on the pile of shells to cultivate.
