Hua Xichen Comes Calling!

Peng Zhan came to challenge us this time in order to show the world the terrifying Power of Qi and Blood after he reached the Fifth Rank.

It must be said that Peng Zhan achieved his goal... Everyone saw what true external manifestation of Power of Qi and Blood looked like from Chu Xinghe's phantom!

Although Peng Zhan lost this battle, it gave all Body Cultivation in the world a new hope.

Chu Xinghe was worried... Chu Xinghe was annoyed... Chu Xinghe was helpless...

It's hard to say whether it's Peng Zhan's fault or my own...

If I had been just two days slower in my meticulous planning... if I had been two days slower in developing the Power of Qi and Blood hidden within my Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones, wouldn't I have been destined to lose this round?

If you, Peng Zhan, had arrived two days earlier, you would have won for sure!

What the heck? You're saying Peng Zhan only wants to challenge, and absolutely refuses to take the millions of Blood Spirit Stones?

Whether Peng Zhan lives or dies is another matter, but if he really wins, does he still think he can refuse my millions of spirit stones? No way!

Compared to Peng Zhan's wins or losses, the most discussed topic in the world now is Chu Xinghe's Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones.

During the Millennial Grand Sacrifice, Chu Xinghe received divine power from the sages, undergoing a complete physical Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones. However, to be honest, the improvement brought about by this Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones has not been particularly noticeable to Chu Xinghe.

However, with the opening of the path of Body Cultivation, the Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones body has made all cultivators in the world understand why the Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones is called the number one divine body!

Previously, those with Spirit Power talent could pursue the path of cultivation, while those Spirit Power would be mediocre. However, as Chu Xinghe gradually opened up the path of Body Cultivation, even an ordinary person without any Spirit Power talent can now slowly improve themselves through the path of Body Cultivation.

In other words, regardless of your talent or lack thereof, there is at least one path that is relatively suitable for you.

However, Body Cultivation and Spirit Cultivation are two extremes. If you choose Spirit Cultivation, you will no longer be able to activate the Power of Qi and Blood and blood in your body. Similarly, if you choose Body Cultivation, you will not be able to use Spirit Power after activating the Power of Qi and Blood.

But the Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones body broke this limitation, as if it had made a distinction between the physical body and Spirit Power.

Chu Xinghe can not only control the Spirit Power in the outside world, but also activate his own Power of Qi and Blood. Moreover, his Power of Qi and Blood is not ordinary Power of Qi and Blood, but Power of Qi and Blood after being fused with the Phoenix Fire.

In other words, Chu Xinghe's Power of Qi and Blood possesses the attribute of Phoenix flames.

As the Phoenix Fire continues to improve, each upgrade will also bring about a qualitative change in Fan Phoenix Fire Chu Xinghe's Power of Qi and Blood.

People used to say Chu Xinghe was a well-rounded warrior... but now, it's hard to say how many sides he has... even his last weakness in Body Cultivation has been inadvertently overcome by Chu Xinghe...

Although the outside world does not know what level Chu Xinghe's Body Cultivation has reached, just by looking at the almost tangible Power of Qi and Blood that Chu Xinghe's phantom erupts, one can imagine just how terrifying Chu Xinghe's Body Cultivation is!

No one expected that in just a few months since Chu Xinghe his intention to embark on the path of Body Cultivation, he would actually start a completely new path of Body Cultivation.

In light of the current situation, Chu Xinghe said, "Stay calm!"

This game may seem like a disadvantage, but we actually have an absolute advantage!

Even if Body Cultivation reaches the Fifth Rank and allows them to unlock the Power of Qi and Blood, so what?

It's important to understand that Visualization Method can only condense the Power of Qi and Blood within your body; they cannot directly create Power of Qi and Blood within your body!

In this world, I, Chu Xinghe, am the only one who has undergone Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones, and only I, Chu Xinghe, can rely on the Phoenix Fire to directly reach the maximum level of Body Cultivation.

As for other Body Cultivation, although they seem to have opened the path, they are actually only at the entry level.

The Power of Qi and Blood originates from within yourself. Visualization Method can help you continuously condense the Power of Qi and Blood in your body, but it is merely a Visualization Method for Power of Qi and Blood; it does not produce Power of Qi and Blood.

There are only two ways to generate the Power of Qi and Blood.

The first type is that during the process of continuous Body Tempering and Body Refining, the body will naturally generate a very small amount of Power of Qi and Blood.

The reason for using the word "extremely small amount" is because Chu Xinghe is meticulous. Even if you cultivate the Great Freedom Visualization Art, the total Power of Qi and Blood you generate in your lifetime will not allow you to exceed the Fifth Rank!

As for the second method of generating Power of Qi and Blood, it's rather simple and direct...

Strive for resources!

Although spirit stones contain Spiritual Qi, after this Spiritual Qi is forcibly injected into the body of Body Cultivation cultivator through Body Cultivation, a portion of it will generate Power of Qi and Blood, while the vast majority of it will be naturally wasted!

So, even though Body Cultivation cultivators now have a way to unlock their Power of Qi and Blood, so what?

Will they still keep giving me resources?

Moreover, as they improve, the resources they need to consume also increase!

The higher the level, the more energy is consumed... So tell me, is the advantage still on my side, Chu Xinghe's side?

Tell me, am I, Chu Xinghe, in a completely advantageous position?

Everything was just as Chu Xinghe had imagined. With the activation of their Power of Qi and Blood, although their junior brothers and sisters had not yet reached the level of releasing their Qi and Blood power at the Fifth Rank, the amount of Blood Spirit Stone Stones they needed to consume every day was increasing rapidly as their Power of Qi and Blood continued to condense!

The sheer amount of energy consumed is terrifying, not to mention Chu Xinghe, even the disciples of the Civil Engineering Department would be moved to tears upon hearing it!

The Civil Engineering Department disciples exclaimed that if all the other departments had disciples who Body Cultivation with such dedication, then the Civil Engineering Department would definitely be getting a holiday!

As the Body Cultivation frantically consumed Blood Spirit Stones, the Misfortune Compass began to operate steadily once again, with wisps of power continuously flowing out from Misfortune Compass and into Chu Xinghe's body.

Cool!

Feeling the power emanating from the Misfortune Compass, Chu Xinghe burst into tears.

But this time, Chu Xinghe didn't let his excitement make him lose his head!

Instead, Chu Xinghe became cautious...

This Misfortune Compass has finally started spinning. This time, none of you will be able to backstab me... I've taken every precaution to absolutely not do anything strange, and I will absolutely not give anyone, including myself, the chance to backstab me!

What the heck? Ouyang Ming and Mu Bai from the Artifact Refining Palace have already developed a braised pork-flavored pill... This is too... something's not right!

This is really wrong!

A pill flavored like braised pork—do you think this pill might betray me?

Therefore, Chu Xinghe rushed to the Artifact Refining Palace and found Ouyang Ming, asking Ouyang Ming to stop developing the braised pork flavored pill!

"Senior Brother Xinghe, wasn't this something you arranged a few days ago?"

"Braised pork flavored pills aren't popular anymore. You can continue researching roasted lamb chop flavored pills!"

Ouyang Ming: "???"

Although Ouyang Ming found it a bit absurd that Senior Brother Xinghe changed the flavor of the pill from braised pork to roasted lamb chops without warning... since it was Senior Brother Xinghe's request, he would just continue the research and development.

However, Ouyang Ling chimed in, "Senior Brother Xinghe, when can we learn that giant elbow Visualization Method too? Senior Brother Xinghe knows that we have so much to do besides refining and imbuing weapons, so we have very little time for cultivation. That's why we really need it!"

"Wait until the Great Sage... wait? The Great Elbow Visualization Method?"

"Yeah, isn't it the big pork knuckle Visualization Method?"

"That's the Great Freedom Visualization Art! And a giant pork knuckle! Why don't you do the giant pork rib Visualization Method?! You say you need it for cultivation? I think you need it when you're researching giant pork knuckles!"

After arranging for Ouyang Ming to begin researching the Visualization Method of roasted lamb chops... no... the pills with the flavor of roasted lamb chops, Chu Xinghe made a special trip to the Spirit Crane Palace to see if Mu Bai had done anything strange.

Very good... Recently, Mu Bai has been very well-behaved. Apart from spending ten hours a day practicing with Mu Xiaoqi, he hasn't done anything strange.

When Chu Xinghe saw Mu Xiaoqi was crying and begging his Senior Brother Xinghe to send him to the mining disciples to work in the mines, or if that didn't work, to the Civil Engineering Department disciples... This Spirit Crane Palace is simply no place for a human being...

Looking at Mu Xiaoqi's miserable appearance, Chu Xinghe calmly said... Xiaoqi... No pain, no gain. Today you were beaten by Senior Brother Mu Bai so that you would be beaten by others less in the future. Sweat more today, bleed less in the Future!

After comforting Mu Xiaoqi, Chu Xinghe specifically instructed Mu Bai to make sure Xiaoqi studied hard and not give her any chance to slack off. As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect," and whether Xiaoqi can succeed depends on you, Xiaoqi Mu Bai!

There are 365 sunrises in a year, and I want to send you 365 blessings...

Feeling much better, Chu Xinghe hummed a little tune as he walked out.

But just as they reached the entrance of the Spirit Crane Palace, they were stopped by Senior Brother Shen Chun, who seemed to have popped out from some unexpected corner!

"Senior Brother Shen Chun? The Grand Elder requests your presence? Is it good news or bad news?"

"No... this time it wasn't the Grand Elder who invited us... it's a special guest from our Vast Heaven Holy Land who wants to see Junior Brother Xinghe!"

A special guest? Wants to see me?

It's important to understand that, given the current status of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, it's not like just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get a glimpse of Chu Xinghe...

Ordinary people simply don't have the right to see Chu Xinghe.

Even for the younger generation of prodigies like Zheng Yu, if they wanted to see Chu Xinghe, they would first send a formal invitation before they could come.

But this time it wasn't the disciples guarding the mountain who came to deliver the visiting card, but Senior Brother Shen Chun who appeared, which means that this person's identity must be extraordinary.

Senior Brother Shen Chun is under the Grand Elder's command. The fact that Senior Brother Shen Chun came to me to deliver a message means that the Grand Elder must have known about this matter in advance.

The Grand Elder wouldn't even pay attention to ordinary people.

Who is this person who didn't send a formal invitation... who came openly and honestly, yet still managed to get the Grand Elder's attention?

Is it Tantai Jing?

That's not right... Given Tantai Jing's shameless nature, he would always come to the Vast Heaven Holy Land openly and legitimately by sending a formal invitation if there's any disagreement...

Soon, Chu Xinghe finally learned the identity of the newcomer from Senior Brother Shen Chun!

He is... Hua Xichen!

Chu Xinghe understood Hua Xichen's purpose. He then looked at Senior Brother Shen Chun, who nodded slightly and said, "The Grand Elder means... Junior Brother, you should consider it yourself!"
