Dou Sheng Essence Blood
The Dou Qi Continent could perhaps be described as a cannibalistic continent.
After all, whether one eats humans or wild beasts, it can indeed lead to an increase in strength. Xiao Ming knew of many cultivation techniques that involved consuming the flesh and blood of others to enhance one's own Cultivation Method.
However, these Cultivation Method all have some drawbacks, such as shortening lifespan, causing one's personality to become bloodthirsty and cruel, and making it difficult to improve one's cultivation level after reaching a certain point.
However, for some people—no, for most people—these drawbacks are minor issues; the real problem is the lack of strength, after all, it's a world the Strong Rule.
Therefore, this kind of Cultivation Method is quite popular in the Dou Qi Continent.
One point to mention is that a small amount absorbed into the bloodstream actually doesn't have much of an impact on a person.
For example, even if all of Xiao Ming's Dou Sheng Capsule were combined, the Dou Sheng Marrow a Dou Sheng would only amount to a small clump.
In the Original Work, Xiao Yi Xian only absorbed a single drop of the Demon Saint Essence Blood.
The Cultivation Method can have an impact on people is because practicing such Cultivation Method requires consuming too much and too varied flesh and blood.
"Got it."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ming suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something that could devour other objects.
As Xiao Ming raised his hand, a pure white "flame" appeared to dance joyfully at the tip of his index finger, accompanied by ripples in the space around it.
This was the "spirit" that Xiao Ming hadn't used in a long time.
"Spirit" is very important to Xiao Ming.
Whether it's the massive amount of Dou Qi stored within, its ability to absorb Heavenly Flames, or its role in balancing Fused Heavenly Flames, it's all extremely useful.
In the past, Xiao Ming would even use it as a trump card when facing enemies. However, now that Xiao Ming more and more methods of fighting, he hasn't used it in a long time.
But without a doubt, it remains Xiao Ming's trump card. No one of Xiao Ming's equals can withstand a single blow from Ling and emerge unscathed.
Of course, Xiao Ming summoned it now not to use it against enemies, but to utilize its devouring function.
He can extract the pure energy from the Great Heavenly Venerable's blood, blend it into Ling Liquid, and then use it, which will be less unpleasant.
Yes, Xiao Ming still couldn't resist the temptation of increasing his strength and was still preparing to draw the Great Heavenly Venerable's blood.
He did as he pleased, suspending the spirit in the air and also suspending the Great Heavenly Venerable's corpse in mid-air. He opened his palm to it, and a suction force immediately emerged from Xiao Ming's palm.
Suddenly, wisps of pale golden light appeared on the Great Heavenly Venerable's imposing body. These wisps converged in Xiao Ming's palm and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a ball of golden liquid.
As soon as this liquid appeared, Xiao Ming sensed that the energy it contained was far greater than that of the Dou Sheng Marrow he had obtained before.
"This essence blood doesn't contain all of the Great Heavenly Venerable's Dou Qi, but it definitely contains a small portion. Absorbing it all and creating another Dou Sheng wouldn't be difficult."
Xiao Ming concluded that the Great Heavenly Venerable was Two Star Dou Sheng. The difference between each star in the Dou Sheng stage was enormous, not simply a matter of one plus one. Therefore, using a small amount of Dou Qi to create a One Star Dou Sheng was indeed not difficult.
The Great Heavenly Venerable was not affected by the loss of blood, after all, there was only so much essence blood.
Xiao Ming plans to refine it into Heaven Demon Puppet in the future, and perhaps it can even become a puppet at the level of Half-Saint.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ming put it into his storage Na Ring and began to purify its energy.
Ling swiftly stepped forward and plunged into the pool of blood.
Then the blood slowly decreased, and it was seen that it was being absorbed into the spirit's body. As the Dou Sheng Essence Blood entered the body, the spirit's body swelled up considerably, throbbing.
This is merely absorption, not refinement.
Seeing that there were no problems with the spirit, Xiao Ming then began purifying it.
Wisps of blood energy began to emerge from the "spirit's" body. Xiao Ming observed it for a while and saw that there was nothing wrong.
He then took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron. He wanted to fully utilize the energy in the Dou Sheng Essence Blood, so he needed to extract some medicinal liquid.
Before him stood the Myriad Beast Cauldron, its body entirely crimson, with white flames burning fiercely within.
The blazing flames devoured and refined the high-grade medicinal herbs that Xiao Ming had thrown into them, turning them into extremely pure medicinal liquid.
With Xiao Ming's current control over his soul, there was virtually no possibility of failure in the refining process, and he quickly completed the refining of the required medicinal materials.
Finally, Xiao Ming took out the Dou Sheng Marrow Capsule and threw them all into the medicine cauldron. After being tested by the Heavenly Flames, they immediately turned into a viscous liquid.
With the heat carefully controlled, Xiao Ming chuckled, and the medicinal liquid in the cauldron gradually moved towards the golden liquid.
Although Xiao Ming's stuff, which wasn't even worthy of being called a pill, was no challenge for him.
But Xiao Ming was focused intently on the changes in the form and properties of the medicinal liquid inside the cauldron.
In the end, all the medicinal liquid and golden liquid in the cauldron had disappeared, leaving only a palm-sized ball of shimmering white liquid.
"The medicinal liquid and the Dou Sheng Capsule have successfully fused. With so many high-grade medicinal herbs, this gel alone should be enough to break through to the Advanced Ban Sheng."
The amount of medicinal herbs he just threw away was not small.
After a brief assessment, Xiao Ming maintained the fire at a certain temperature. After a long while, Xiao Ming opened his eyes again.
At this moment, the moon was bright and the stars were few. The bright moonlight shone through the branches of the trees and onto Xiao Ming's face, making him look like a god.
Xiao Ming glanced at the "spirit." The spirit's size hadn't shrunk much, but the Blood Mist was no longer emanating from it.
"The extraction has been completed."
With a thought, a pale white liquid with wisps of gold slowly flowed out, and under Xiao Ming's command, it rushed directly into the medicine cauldron, where the two liquids slowly merged.
The moonlight was bright, and birds and insects chirped.
Two hours.
At this moment, only a brick-sized ball of white gel remained in the medicine cauldron. Under the moonlight, upon close inspection, one could still see strands of gold within the gel.
Xiao Ming reached out, his five fingers curled into a claw shape, and a suction force burst forth from his palm, drawing out the gel from the medicine cauldron.
Looking at the soft, fluffy, gel-like substance in his palm, radiating pure energy fluctuations, Xiao Ming felt that the refining process was a great success.
However, since this is the first time trying it, we'll have to try it out to know the specific results.
This thing isn't really a pill; it has virtually no special medicinal effects. It's just something to replenish and increase energy, which means it can boost cultivation speed.
He took out a jade box, and a Vigor Qi emanated from his fingertip, as sharp as a blade. He cut off a piece of gel about the size of his little finger, and put the rest of the gel into the jade box to store it.
The gel in his hand was like jelly, emitting a faint fragrance that made him quite hungry. Xiao Ming put the gel directly into his mouth.
As the gel entered his mouth, Xiao Ming felt a warm current explode in his mouth, then enter his body and spread throughout his entire being. The pure energy quickly transformed into Dou Qi.
In order to quickly refine this energy, Xiao Ming summoned his spirit back into his body.
When the spirit entered the body, it didn't help refine the Dou Qi; instead, it expelled some pure Dou Qi.
"It was absorbed during the blood essence purification process just now."
Xiao Ming was speechless; he hadn't expected this to happen.
The two energies flowed directly through his body. Fortunately, these energies were from the same source and did not conflict, otherwise Xiao Ming would have been in serious trouble.
You won't die, but you'll be in pain for a little while.
With a sigh, Xiao Ming began to regulate and refine the energy within his body.
