Chu Nan wanted to know from Feng Chen what the background of Feng Family Manor really was.
In response to Chu Nan's inquiry, Feng Chen said indifferently, "It's a long story~"
He didn't seem to want to say much about it and quickly led Chu Nan to the plaza at the center of Feng Family Manor.
At this moment, many martial artists of Feng Family Manor had gathered in the center of the plaza, both men and women, with cultivation between the Spirit Pill Realm and the Yang Wheel Realm.
This wasn't anything surprising, but Chu Nan noticed that regardless of gender, their physical strength was immense, like a burning furnace standing there.
They surrounded a giant bronze tripod five meters tall, with a hopeful expression on their faces.
Feng Chen then said, "My young friend, you're in luck, catching our Feng Family Manor's monthly Demon Blood Body Refining. Our manor master, as a gesture of hospitality, allows you to soak in the medicinal bath with our manor's disciples, refining your body with demon blood."
"As long as you absorb it properly, your injuries will heal faster."
"Thank you very much, senior." Chu Nan looked at the bronze tripod with a curious expression on his face.
Looking at the bronze tripod and the Demon Blood Body Refining, he felt a vague sense of familiarity.
Feng Chen then said, "Wait here, I'll go prepare the medicinal bath. I'll call you when it's your turn."
Saying that, Feng Chen quietly left, leaving Chu Nan standing there, drawing many curious glances.
"Yo~ An outsider, you came too."
A familiar voice came, and Chu Nan looked over to find it was Feng Ling, who had previously barged into the room.
Feng Ling scrutinized Chu Nan from head to toe and asked with interest, "I'm Feng Ling, the manor master's daughter. What's your name, outsider?"
"Chu Nan." Chu Nan looked at Feng Ling, feeling that she exuded a wild and lively aura, especially her eyes, which were incredibly pure and made one inexplicably want to get closer.
Feng Ling's curiosity grew stronger, and she asked excitedly, "Chu Nan, you came from the outside, you must know what it's like out there, right?"
"I was born here and have no idea what it's like outside of Feng Family Manor. The manor master forbids us from leaving these mountains, and we're not even allowed to interact with outsiders."
"Speaking of which, it's really strange why the manor master would bring you back."
Hearing Feng Ling's words, Chu Nan frowned slightly, not because Feng Ling had never left here, but because the manor master of Feng Family Manor forbade contact with outsiders yet was willing to bring him back.
There wasn't much relief to be found; when something seems out of the ordinary, there's usually something suspicious, so Chu Nan's heart welled with a sliver of caution.
Nonetheless, Chu Nan was willing to talk to Feng Ling about the outside world.
Just then, a bare-chested young man with a cold demeanor walked over, scrutinizing Chu Nan and said, "Sister Ling, the manor master said that there's no good person outside Feng Family Manor, and dangers abound."
The young man eyed Chu Nan with caution and said, "Be careful not to let a wolf in!"
Chu Nan frowned slightly, clearly feeling the hostility radiating from the young man, as if ready to pounce and devour him at any moment.
He knew that most people here were on guard against him, so Chu Nan said, "Rest assured, friend, I'm not the ungrateful type."
The young man sneered with disdain and said, "Two-faced, I, Feng Wu, won't believe you."
Hearing Feng Wu's words, Chu Nan shrugged helplessly.
Feng Ling pushed him away and said, "Feng Wu, if you keep this up, you'll scare away my guest."
Meanwhile, Feng Chen stood on the bronze tripod and shouted loudly, "Feng Wu, your Demon Blood Body Refining is starting!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wu prepared to leave, but before leaving, he warned Chu Nan again, "Outsider, I know what kind of people are outside Feng Family Manor. If you dare have any evil intentions, I'll be the first to show you no mercy!"
With that, Feng Wu clenched his fists tightly, making his bones crack, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Feng Ling apologetically said, "Chu Nan, Feng Wu is like this, but he's not a bad person."
"Don't worry, I understand." Chu Nan wasn't too bothered by Feng Wu's attitude, knowing that he too would be wary of outsiders.
Just then, Feng Wu leaped into the bronze tripod.
In an instant, waves of scorching heat rose from inside the bronze tripod.
Chu Nan focused his gaze and saw that the bronze tripod was filled with the fresh blood of demon beasts, with all sorts of strange herbs floating on the surface. What was even more astonishing was that the demon beast's blood boiled like boiling water.
Feng Wu was immersed in it, his body turning crimson in an instant, showing a pained expression, yet his aura continuously rose.
Dark tattoos coiled around his body, and as time passed, the tattoos grew heavier.
"What a bizarre cultivation method." Chu Nan couldn't help but comment as he witnessed this scene.
Feng Ling spoke at this time, "The method of Demon Blood Body Refining is a secret of Feng Family Manor, using the Demon God Cauldron to drive the Demon Blood Body Refining, integrating the power of demon beasts into the body to continually enhance physical strength."
"But after all, demon blood is demon blood, and over time it will backfire, so each cultivation session has a limit. Non-Feng Family Manor people can barely endure one incense stick's worth of time; our martial artists can generally hold for two."
"Though Feng Wu has a bad temper, his strength is the greatest among the younger generation!"
"He's just twenty years old, with cultivation reaching five levels of the Yang Wheel Realm, and an incredibly robust body. Just the other day, he tore apart a new entrant of the sixth level of the Yang Wheel Realm demon beast with his bare hands."
"He can endure ten incense sticks' worth or more, and martial artists who can last over ten incense sticks are able to briefly use the Demon Profound Transformation, their strength increasing by three parts!"
Feng Ling's tone revealed a hint of admiration for Feng Wu.
Chu Nan was startled internally and pondered, "Why does this so-called method of Demon Blood Body Refining feel like the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Scripture?"
Surveying his surroundings, Chu Nan grew more curious about Feng Family Manor, considering staying here temporarily to investigate further.
After a full fifteen incense sticks' worth of time, Feng Wu let out a roar and leaped out of the bronze tripod.
As his feet landed, they left deep footprints, and a burst of astonished exclamations arose.
"Fifteen incense sticks, Brother Wu has broken the limit again!"
"With Brother Wu, our Feng Family Manor will surely prosper in the future."
"I can only last five incense sticks; when will I be able to compare with Brother Wu~"
Praises echoed around, and Feng Wu coldly glanced in Chu Nan's direction, then stepped aside to clean the blood grime from his body.
"Next, Feng Mountain!"
"Feng Yue."
"Feng Ling..."
Feng Chen stood on the bronze tripod, calling out one name after another.
Chu Nan used his spiritual sense to observe and found these people to be the elites of the younger generation in Feng Family Manor, with the weakest, Feng Ling, having cultivation at the early ninth level of the Spirit Pill Realm.
After all the younger generations underwent the Demon Blood Body Refining method, Feng Chen looked at Chu Nan and said, "Next, Chu Nan!"
