Like all cultivators, he was particularly obsessed with the improvement of his
cultivation.
Cultivation is the foundation of all strength and also the key to prolonging life.
Becoming a powerful Beast Tamer requires a strong cultivation as support. To become a powerful Insect Master, even more formidable cultivation is needed. To command formidable weapons and armor, cultivation is equally necessary.
It can be said that if one wishes to become a strong person, without
cultivation, it is all an illusion.
Take Insect Masters for instance, Qin Niu is currently at the Ninefold mortal level and can control second or third-grade insects without a problem. But if he wants to control those more powerful insects, it is basically a fool’s dream.
If a pet’s level is too much higher than its master’s, it will surely turn on its
master.
Not to mention making them obedient.
“Master must never eat this, it’s extremely dangerous! The bodies of beasts are naturally stronger than humans, and their methods of cultivation are very crude. The various energies they absorb might be bearable for their bodies, but our human bodies cannot withstand it. Eating it can easily lead to ruptured meridians, shattered organs, and in the worst case, direct explosion and death.”
Xiao Qing hurriedly advised.
Qin Niu was actually just speaking hypothetically; how could he really recklessly consume the Beast Core?
“If the Beast Core is not for human consumption, can it only be used to nurture
beast pets?”
Qin Niu currently had two beast pets, one was Xiao Niu, and the other was a
little turtle.
To be exact, the little turtle was no longer a little one, but a Grade Three
Diamond Ink Turtle.
To use the Beast Core to nurture them was something Qin Niu truly hesitated
to do.
The ultimate goal of taming pets is to help their master become stronger.
Having cultivation resources, one must prioritize their master.
“Directly nurturing beast pets is one use. If we humans want to consume it, we can find an alchemist to refine the Beast Core, adding some herbs as supplementary ingredients to make the energy within the Beast Core milder. That way, it will be much safer to consume.”
“When I get to the city, 1 will ask at Miaodan Pavilion.
Qin Niu nodded after hearing this.
He found a box and carefully stored the Beast Core in it.
He continued to deal with the pork.
Gradually, he began to feel his body getting hotter, as if he had drunk over a dozen jugs of liquor.
“Master, why is your face red?”
Xiao Qing noticed the abnormality in her master.
“It might be because I drank the blood of this Pig King.” He felt his body filled with endless strength.
“Oh no, beast blood that could morph into demons should not be recklessly consumed. I’ve heard my grandfather say once that the blood of demonic beasts contains powerful demonic energy, and drinking it often can lead to mental instability, making one bloodthirsty and violent. You mustn’t drink it again next time.”
Xiao Qing stomped her feet in anxiety after hearing this.
It’s okay to drink a bit of regular beast blood, but too much demonic beast blood can cause serious problems.
“What should we do now?”
Qin Niu regretted his ignorance.
Now that he could earn money, once he entered the city, he must buy more
books related to cultivation to read.
The scariest thing for a person is ignorance.
The first time he drank the blood of an old wolf, he benefitted greatly and thought that drinking the Pig King’s blood would be even better.
He didn’t realize that demonic beast blood should not be consumed.
“Try to practice your technique; you should be able to neutralize and absorb the demonic energy inside your body. If it really doesn’t work, I’m afraid we will have to seek medical help in the city.”
Xiao Qing said, filled with worry.
Realizing the severity of the issue, Qin Niu went to the backyard and sat down cross-legged.
Fortunately, there was soft moonlight tonight.
Allowing him to practice the Everlasting Spring Technique.
Trying to rotate the Everlasting Spring Technique, he discovered that the cool energy absorbed into his body was continuously neutralizing the savage and furious demonic energy, eventually being absorbed by his body.
Through his relentless efforts, the violent demonic energy in his body was
decreasing.
His body also didn’t feel as uncomfortable.
By the next morning when the moonlight had faded, Qin Niu had successfully resolved some of the demonic energy. His cultivation had also grown tremendously, skyrocketing directly from the Ninefold mortal level to the Tenfold mortal level.
At this point, all the organs of his entire body were reinforced and nourished
by the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique.
He now possessed a prolonged breath, a strong and powerful heartbeat, astonishing digestive and absorption capabilities… The Tenfold mortal level also didn’t seem as amazing as he had imagined!
At most, he could lift a thousand pounds, his stamina while running could match that of a galloping horse, his eyes were sharp, his hearing keen, and his movements agile and swift.
Compared to ordinary people, these abilities were more than ten times
stronger.
But they were nowhere near the prowess of the exceptional warriors he had imagined.
Perhaps, the Tenfold mortal level is just the first step in the eyes of a true master.
According to his understanding, surpassing the tenfold of mortal strength would let a person undergo a complete transformation, as if reborn.
He was unclear about the specifics.
At this moment, the demonic power inside him was still rampaging, and a trace of irritability and ferocity rose in his heart.
This was unprecedented.
Pig King and the corpse of the giant wild pig had been taken care of by Xiao
Qing.
She must have been busy for most of the night; usually up early to clean and train, today she was still asleep.
Qin Niu did not wake her up.
Upon entering his own room, he lifted two floor tiles under the bed to reveal a
stone trough.
This was a pool he specifically used for nourishing his sword.
As expected, the Banyan Tree Blood in the stone trough had turned back into clear water.
The Treasured Sword’s absorption rate of the Banyan Tree Blood had become even more terrifying.
It must have reached the critical moment of transformation.
When he took it out, the sword’s body trembled and emitted a humming sound. The green patterns within the sword’s body were slowly converging, as if trying to form an ancient rune.
Qin Niu was able to slay the Pig King yesterday, all thanks to this sword. Otherwise, according to Xiao Qing, Qin Niu would not have been able to breach the Pig King’s defenses.
“Come, I’ll take you to the mountain to get blood!”
He took the Treasured Sword and a basket on his back and left the house.
Once in the mountains, the violent emotion in his mind grew a bit stronger.
Monster blood really shouldn’t be consumed recklessly.
It could easily turn a person into a killing maniac.
He needed to quickly find a way to eliminate all the demonic power within his body.
Ignoring the newly born Termites, he took Fourth and went directly to the Ancient Banyan Tree. After collecting the tree blood, he started to cultivate according to the old rules, sitting under the tree.
The speed of cultivation here was twenty times faster than outside, and the demonic power in his body was rapidly being neutralized, ultimately transforming into his cultivation strength.
As time trickled by, his cultivation became stronger and stronger, slowly reaching the peak of the tenfold mortal strength.
When the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique inside him reached its limit.
Boom!
He felt as if his body had exploded.
It hadn’t, in fact, but the Everlasting Spring Technique’s power that was originally confined within his organs was now like a flood breaking a dam, furiously surging into every part of his body that it could reach.
His muscles, bones, and skin were endowed with a much greater capacity.
Originally, the cultivation of the Everlasting Spring Technique progressed from the inside out.
First to strengthen the organs, and then break the confinement of the organs to fortify the body’s trunk and limbs.
The cultivation principle of the Medicine King Sutra was somewhat similar.
It is said that mainstream cultivation techniques can be divided into two major categories. One is External Cultivation, which first tempers muscles, bones, and skin, and then nurtures the organs. Like Iron Cloth Technique and Barbarian Bull Technique, these should all fall under this category.
Basically, all External Cultivation techniques are very powerful.
Especially in the early stages of training, the combat power is overwhelming. The other category is Inner Strength, progressing from the inside out. First to enhance the organs, and then to toughen the muscles, bones, and skin. The downside of this kind of technique is slow improvement, with early stages being weak. The advantage is that it can greatly extend life expectancy from an early stage.
And it can delay aging.
Inner Strength techniques are the choice of most people.
Because the lifespan of ordinary people is limited, sixty years old is already considered a long life.
Practicing External Cultivation might bring about some minor accomplishments, but by then one’s life may have come to an end. In the end, all glory and effort turn to dust.
At this moment, Qin Niu felt like a valve in his body had opened, allowing him to freely absorb the energy from outside into his body.
He could clearly feel his skin, muscles, and bones being strengthened.
The growth in strength was incomparable to before.
It seems that even with Life-Nurturing Techniques, as long as one’s cultivation is high enough, one could still fight.
Worried that his realm was not stable, he did not practice the Medicine King Sutra today.
Instead, he continued cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique, and the demonic power within him was completely neutralized bit by bit.
Its impact on his mind was noticeably weakening.
The ferocity in his heart was fading away bit by bit.
Next time, he would never dare to drink monster blood recklessly again..
