Bone Marrow Fluid That Helps Raise One's Cultivation

Ye Zizai frowned slightly, then cupped his hands in salute and asked, "May I ask what insight you have, Senior?"

"That depends on your own resolve. Will you keep using the corpse puppet to improve your strength, or will you cut things off before it is too late?"

Lin Che gave Ye Zizai a meaningful glance before leaving with Li Muwan. As for whether Ye Zizai would follow his advice, that depended on Ye Zizai himself.

The cultivation world had always been rife with deceit and ruled by the law of the strong devouring the weak. If one wished to survive, one had to make a clean break when necessary. Otherwise, endless darkness would await.

Ye Zizai committed those words to heart and looked toward the main hall, where the corpse puppet currently was.

The corpse puppet had now reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage, while he himself was only at the middle Nascent Soul Stage. Unless he could break through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage in the future, it would be difficult for him to deal with the corpse puppet bound to him by contract.

Just like his junior brother Wu Yu back then, whose final fate had been to die at the hands of the corpse puppet he had once raised.

"Looks like... I need to speed up my cultivation."

Ye Zizai narrowed his eyes. If his future death was inevitable, he might as well kill the corpse puppet as soon as possible. That way, he would not have to fear being possessed in the future.

Besides, he could travel to a more remote second-tier cultivation country. With his Nascent Soul Stage strength, he would surely thrive there.

After leaving the Corpse Yin Sect, Li Muwan asked curiously, "Senior Brother, why did you tell Ye Zizai that his death was inevitable? Does Ye Zizai have some secret?"

"There is no secret." Lin Che held one hand behind his back and answered calmly, "I merely wanted to divert his attention. After all, Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji has caught the eye of Liu Qingyun, the vice hall master of the Corpse Yin Sect. If Liu Qingyun learns of this, he will definitely go to the Zhao Kingdom himself."

"At present, I am only at the Soul Formation Stage. I cannot possibly stand against a Peeping Nirvana Stage expert, and it could even result in the complete slaughter of the Zhao Kingdom's cultivation clans and sects."

After all, this had once been his home. If the Zhao Kingdom were destroyed because of him, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

Li Muwan nodded as though she understood, then linked her arm through Lin Che's and said, "Senior Brother, Wan'er has recently come infinitely close to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. When we have time, let us return to the Luo He Sect."

"Mm. Once you officially enter the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, I will take you back to Fire Ember Country."

"Mm-hmm~"

Upon returning to the Heng Yue Sect, Lin Che released Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji, whom he had rescued earlier.

"Hahaha! I, Leiji, have finally escaped! Damn Corpse Yin Sect! I, Leiji, will make you filthy wretches pay a painful price!"

Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji laughed wildly, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy in the air as though he wished to drain all the spiritual energy from the Zhao Kingdom.

"Leiji!"

Suddenly, Lin Che spoke. Though his voice was not loud, it struck Leiji's ears like a bolt from the blue, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

Leiji had not yet recovered his cultivation. He staggered two steps back, then bowed deeply to Lin Che with a pale face. "Leiji thanks Master for saving my life."

Lin Che nodded slightly and waved his sleeve. Several medicinal pills appeared before Leiji. "These are all pills for repairing your body. Take one each day, and you should recover thirty percent of your cultivation in half a month."

"Thank you, Master."

Leiji nodded heavily, put away the pills Lin Che had given him, then took out a special medicine bottle and handed it to Lin Che.

"Master, this is my own Bone Marrow Fluid. It contains even more essence than blood. You may use this Bone Marrow Fluid to cultivate, and your results will be twice as effective with half the effort."

"Bone Marrow Fluid..."

Lin Che naturally knew how precious the Bone Marrow Fluid within Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji was. If a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator used it, their cultivation would surely soar, and even breaking through to half-step Soul Transformation would be more than possible.

After all, once cultivators reached the perfected Nascent Soul Stage, they had to comprehend their own artistic conception in order to break through to Soul Transformation. Only after successfully comprehending it could they truly transform into a god.

Yet it was incomparably difficult for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to comprehend an artistic conception. Some could spend their entire lives without truly understanding one, ultimately having their souls scattered and forever losing any chance of rebirth.

"The energy in this Bone Marrow Fluid is much stronger than that of blood. Wan'er cannot use it yet. Once she reaches the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, I will let her soak her body in this blood."

Lin Che gladly accepted Leiji's Bone Marrow Fluid, then waved his sleeve and stored Leiji within his spatial storage. Whenever he wished, he could release him directly.

At that moment, Li Muwan slowly approached from nearby. One small hand tidied the silky hair by her ear, while a faint smile appeared on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

"Wan'er, this essence blood is for you. Dissolve it in Warm Water at dusk, then soak in it. You will be able to absorb its energy, and it should be enough to help you break through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Li Muwan accepted the medicine bottle Lin Che handed her. Since it contained the essence blood of Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji, she could only use one drop at a time, lest the excessively violent energy cause her body to explode.

"No need to thank me. If you feel any discomfort, do not force yourself to absorb Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji's blood. Your cultivation is still too shallow, and you cannot yet completely absorb this energy."

Li Muwan nodded obediently, took the medicine bottle Lin Che had given her, and returned to her room to bathe and absorb the energy.

A faint scent of sandalwood filled the room, while soft candlelight shone over her face, making her appear exceptionally gentle and lovely.

Li Muwan placed the medicine bottle Lin Che had given her on the wooden rack beside the bath barrel, then removed her clothes, revealing skin as smooth and delicate as jade.

Her skin was white as snow with a faint rosy tint, seemingly so tender it could break at a touch. Every inch of it radiated the vitality of youth.

Li Muwan gently stepped into the bath barrel. The warm water enveloped her body, bringing a wave of soothing warmth.

She dripped a single drop of essence blood from the medicine bottle into the water. Instantly, a faint red halo spread across the surface, as though countless tiny streams of energy were swimming within it.

"So this is Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji's blood. It truly is domineering. Its energy is far more abundant than that of any medicinal pill."

Li Muwan lightly bit her lower lip, feeling that energy slowly seep into her skin and flow through her meridians to every part of her body.

Nourished by the energy, her snow-white skin gradually took on a faint luster, as though countless tiny points of light were flickering beneath it.

Li Muwan's breathing became steady and deep. Guided by the essence blood, the spiritual energy within her gradually gathered in her Dantian, like a warm current slowly flowing through her body and bringing an unprecedented feeling of comfort.
