First Lottery Draw! Modified Yi Jin Duan Gu

After killing that Wolf Demon, Xu Jie gained over a hundred years of usable lifespan.

However, his own lifespan didn't increase; it remained at one year.

Xu Jie didn't dwell on this. In his past life, he lived by the skin of his teeth, never knowing if he'd see tomorrow. If it weren't for the System consuming lifespan and stipulating increases in yearly increments, he would have only given himself one day of lifespan, using the rest to improve his martial arts.

Stance Cultivation... perfected.

"System, upgrade the Demon Breaking Saber Technique!"

[Demon Breaking Saber Technique (Peak): After ten more years of arduous saber practice, you have grasped the essence of the Demon Breaking Saber Technique.]

[Demon Breaking Saber Technique (Perfected): Time flies. After reaching the peak of the saber technique, you persisted in wielding your saber for another thirty years, finally cultivating the Demon Breaking Saber Technique to the perfected realm!]

Consuming forty-two years of usable lifespan, Xu Jie's saber technique reached the perfected realm.

Looking at the lottery progress [96/100], Xu Jie unhesitatingly poured all his remaining usable lifespan into perfecting Stance Cultivation.

The System had prompted him from the very beginning that usable lifespan could be used to improve martial arts realms without limit. Xu Jie currently had 79 years of usable lifespan remaining. He refused to believe that nearly eighty years of lifespan wouldn't bring any changes to the basic Stance Cultivation.

[Year 10: You still haven't given up on practicing and researching the basic Stance Cultivation. Unfortunately, this most basic martial art seems to have no further need for advancement...]

[Year 32: After your continuous attempts, you faintly feel your entire body's blood boiling. It seems only a single opportunity is needed for the basic Stance Cultivation to undergo some kind of transformation!]

[Year 59: Finally, the unremarkable basic Stance Cultivation, through your comprehension and improvements, has advanced into a completely new domain! You've comprehended the Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art!]

[You know this should be the limit of the basic Stance Cultivation, yet you still spend time modifying and fine-tuning this martial art. After another twenty years, you successfully created a complete and efficient new cultivation method!]

[Comprehended New Martial Art: Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art (Beginner)!]

[Lottery Progress [175/100]!]

Xu Jie didn't rush to draw the lottery immediately. He first circulated the Blood Burning Art, feeling the effects of this new cultivation method.

His blood boiled!

In an instant, Xu Jie felt a sense of weakness as if his entire blood supply was burning away. The food he had eaten earlier seemed to be digested in the blink of an eye, and he felt a faint sense of hunger. He quickly stopped circulating the art and thoughtfully took out a Blood Nourishing Pill from his pocket.

Burning blood!

Once again circulating the art, the Blood Nourishing Pill Xu Jie had consumed was instantly refined by the art, becoming nourishment for his burning blood.

One wasn't enough!

Xu Jie decisively swallowed the remaining three Blood Nourishing Pills whole, using their medicinal power to propel the Stance Cultivation's circulation. In a very short time, the medicinal power of the four Blood Nourishing Pills was completely absorbed and converted into a catalyst for Xu Jie to condense his blood.

[Martial Art: Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art (Beginner) → Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art (Minor Completion)!]

[Martial Dao Realm: Blood Moving Realm Layer 7 (First-Rank High-Stage) → Blood Moving Realm Layer 9 (First-Rank High-Stage)!]

The improvement speed is actually this rapid?

Xu Jie found it somewhat unbelievable. The improved version of the Blood Burning Art utilized the medicinal power of the pills almost one hundred percent and increased his realm at an astonishing speed. Looking at it this way, as long as he had enough pills, he could rapidly increase his strength with the Blood Burning Art. If he couldn't kill wantonly and plunder lifespan in the university, the improvement effect of the Advanced Stance Cultivation would be no less than the System's!

Excellent!

Xu Jie couldn't help but curve his lips upwards, becoming increasingly satisfied with his Life-Sacrifice System. As for cultivation resources, he had no worries! If his strength increased, why would he fear a lack of resources? If not, he'd just go and snatch them! Xu Jie had no psychological burden or moral pressure regarding snatching things, as he considered it only natural.

After experimenting with the effects of the Blood Burning Art, Xu Jie silently clicked on the System to perform a so-called lottery draw.

Lottery draw...

What good things would it give?

[Lottery Draw Commencing...]

Xu Jie's consciousness flickered. He seemed to have arrived in a chaotic starry sky. A giant disc appeared above his head, its pointer spinning rapidly before finally stopping at a certain area.

[Lottery Draw Successful! Acquired Improved Yi Jin Duan Gu Scripture!]

[Progress to Next Lottery Draw (75/500)!]

Yi Jin Scripture, Duan Gu Scripture?

If Xu Jie remembered correctly, these two cultivation methods originated from Wuxia worlds.

In his previous life, while Xu Jie frequented the lawless lands, Southeast Asia also had internet access.

Because of this, Xu Jie had read some novels and was quite familiar with the Yi Jin Duan Gu, two famous Buddhist martial arts from the wuxia world.

Simply put, these two martial arts were top-tier techniques in any wuxia setting!

Xu Jie truly hadn't expected that the System's so-called lottery function could even draw martial arts from another world.

The high-martial-arts, demon-modified version of Yi Jin Duan Gu was clearly a high-class martial art.

An ordinary person would definitely lament their fate, believing they shouldn't have invested so much lifespan into basic stance cultivation.

However, Xu Jie felt no regret whatsoever!

His personality had always been to use resources as they came, enjoy the present, and not worry about the future – he was a true fatalist.

He used it, so he used it. Why regret it?

If he ran out of money or resources, he'd just go steal more!

Besides...

[Martial Art: Yi Jin Duan Gu (Cannot be entered)]

Xu Jie discovered that the new martial art he'd drawn was completely uncultivable!

The reason was simple: he was only at the First-Rank, Blood Moving Realm. How could he possibly cultivate the clearly higher-tier Yi Jin Duan Gu?

Yi Jin Duan Gu, judging by its name, was a martial art only cultivable in the Pulse Opening Realm.

As far as Xu Jie knew, in this high-martial-arts world, the martial artist realms, from lowest to highest, were: First-Rank Blood Moving, Second-Rank Pulse Opening, Third-Rank Bone Forging, Fourth-Rank Body Tempering, Fifth-Rank Aperture Opening, Sixth-Rank Qi Condensing, Seventh-Rank Vajra, Eighth-Rank Dharma Aspect, Ninth-Rank Nirvana, and higher levels that completely transcended the mortal realm – Eternal Immortality.

Each of these ranks was further divided into twelve layers, categorized into four stages: low, medium, high, and peak.

Xu Jie was currently only a First-Rank High-Stage Blood Moving martial artist, and his path to cultivation was long and arduous.

In fact, at his current realm, he hadn't even touched the true essence of the Blood Moving Realm.

Blood Moving, Blood Moving – the so-called Blood Moving referred to the circulation of blood!

Only when martial artists cultivated to the peak stage of the Blood Moving Realm could they truly begin to move blood.

This was because before the First-Rank High-Stage, the martial artist's own blood was too unrefined to meet the standards for blood circulation.

If the memories of Xu Jie's previous self were accurate.

The Xu family siblings from Central Prefecture were both peak Blood Moving Realm martial artists.

Xu Shishi ranked twenty-seventh on the school's ranking board, while Xu Ming ranked ninth!

After arriving in this high-martial-arts world, the two people Xu Jie wanted to kill the most were these Xu siblings.

Therefore, he needed to prepare thoroughly before challenging the school's ranking board.

He wouldn't make a move unless he was certain. Once he decided to act, Xu Jie wouldn't give his enemies any chance to survive!
