Demonic Beast Essence Blood

At this moment, Xiao Yang could not care less about the sweat on his body. He quickly stripped off his soaked clothes and eagerly stepped into the bathtub.

The water, which had still been somewhat warm, had long since turned cold after sitting for several hours.

However, the weather had been rather hot lately, so Xiao Yang did not mind.

The moment he entered the bathtub, he felt a wave of coolness.

When his entire body sank into the water, he immediately felt a prickling sensation.

The sensation was not unpleasant.

On the contrary, it made Xiao Yang feel tingly and numb.

Combined with the cool water,

Xiao Yang actually found it rather comfortable.

"Ah~"

He could clearly feel a stream of energy pouring into his body from every direction.

His muscles, which had been tired and sore, immediately felt relaxed.

Xiao Yang instinctively began absorbing the energy in the air and converting it into his own Dou Qi.

Very soon, he discovered something to his surprise.

He did not know whether it was because the Body Recovery Elixir had spread its energy throughout the water.

While soaking in the bathtub and absorbing Dou Qi, his recovery speed was slightly faster than before.

Although the difference was not great, there was indeed a change.

Soon, a few minutes passed, and Xiao Yang felt that his physical strength had recovered.

He stood up and dried the water from his body.

After changing into another set of clothes, he glanced at the bathtub.

The pale blue water inside had faded considerably once more.

However, it had not yet turned transparent.

This meant that the medicinal potency of the Spirit Liquid had not been completely used up this time.

He could use it once more later.

This immediately delighted Xiao Yang.

After carefully hiding the bathtub, along with the water inside, in his room, Xiao Yang then prepared to get something to eat before returning to cultivate.

Time returned to several hours earlier.

After separating from Xiao Yang, Xiao Yan went to the back mountain to cultivate.

Ever since his talent had disappeared, he often came here.

He arrived atop a rock, sat down cross-legged, and began, as usual, absorbing the surrounding energy and converting it into his own Dou Qi.

However, disappointment soon appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

Just like before, the Dou Qi he had converted disappeared for no reason when he tried to store it again!

"Damn it!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and slammed them onto the rock beneath him.

"Why is it like this again?!"

The wound on his hand, which had already stopped bleeding, began to bleed again.

Looking at the blood dripping onto the rock, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth.

"I do not want to suffer today's humiliation a second time!"

After saying that, he prepared to Continue cultivating.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Hehe, little fellow, it seems you need help."

After Xiao Yang finished eating at the Xiao Clan cafeteria, a thought suddenly occurred to him. Since obtaining medicinal materials for a Medicinal Bath could earn rewards, could obtaining Monster Beast Meat do the same?

With that thought, he immediately began trying.

Very soon, Xiao Yang successfully created a mission.

[Mission: Obtain one hundred jin of First-order Monster Beast Meat. Mission Reward: One portion of specially processed First-order Demonic Beast Essence Blood.]

Looking at the Mission Reward, Xiao Yang immediately smiled.

He ran straight toward the kitchen.

Very soon, he purchased one hundred jin of First-order Rock Pig Meat from the person in charge of the kitchen.

Monster Beast Meat was far less valuable than Magical Cores.

However, it was still not cheap.

For meat alone, the cheapest First-order Rock Pig Meat still cost one Gold Coin per jin.

One Gold Coin was not cheap.

After all, twenty Gold Coins were enough for a commoner family to live comfortably for an entire year.

This was enough to show just how expensive Monster Beast Meat was.

Even though this Monster Beast Meat was only First-order, it was still quite costly.

However, compared to the meat of ordinary livestock, consuming Monster Beast Meat over a long period truly had benefits.

Most First-order Monster Beasts did not possess Magical Cores.

Therefore, the energy within their bodies dispersed throughout their flesh after death.

If one consumed enough Monster Beast Meat, one's Physique would also become stronger.

After paying, Xiao Yang carried a huge slab of pork and ran toward his Small Courtyard.

The familiar voice of the system also sounded in his mind the instant he received the Rock Pig Meat.

[Mission: Obtain one hundred jin of First-order Monster Beast Meat. Mission Reward: One portion of specially processed First-order Demonic Beast Essence Blood. Completed. Claim reward?]

After returning to the Small Courtyard, he tossed the Rock Pig Meat directly onto the table.

"System, claim the reward!"

Xiao Yang said impatiently.

The next moment, information about this Demonic Beast Essence Blood appeared in his mind.

At the same time, a portion of Demonic Beast Essence Blood appeared in the System Space.

After examining the information in his mind, a trace of delight flashed across Xiao Yang's face.

This portion of First-order Demonic Beast Essence Blood had been refined from an entire Magical Beast through a special method.

All the Dou Qi contained within this First-order Magical Beast had been perfectly preserved in this portion of Demonic Beast Essence Blood.

Under normal circumstances, only a Dou Zhe could consume it directly.

However, because it had undergone special processing, even those at the Dou Qi stage could use a small amount of this First-order Demonic Beast Essence Blood.

Xiao Yang took out the Demonic Beast Essence Blood from the System Space and examined it.

Inside a specially made glass bottle was some dark red Essence Blood.

According to the system's information, before cultivating Dou Qi, he could pour out a tiny amount of Demonic Beast Essence Blood and apply it to his body.

This bottle of Demonic Beast Essence Blood could probably be used five times.

However, even though Xiao Yang could use it now,

in order to protect his fragile Meridians, he could only use it once every three days.

He did not use it immediately, instead storing it back in the System Space.

He planned to use it when he cultivated that night.

It was only afternoon, after all. Xiao Yang could still cultivate the Mountain Splitting Fist another hundred times.

[Mission: Practice the Mountain Splitting Fist 100 times. Mission Reward: Mountain Splitting Fist Proficiency +1.]

After creating the mission, Xiao Yang immediately began to Continue cultivating the Mountain Splitting Fist.

Very soon, more than four hours passed just like that.

After Xiao Yang claimed the Mission Reward, he returned to the bathtub, which still contained some remaining energy.

Very soon, as he absorbed all the remaining energy in the bathtub, the water inside became clear and transparent again.

Xiao Yang stood up, dried his body, and changed into his clothes.

He discovered that the remaining energy in the bathtub this time could not fully restore all his physical strength.

However, after eating some of the Monster Beast Meat he had purchased at noon, his physical strength had recovered to more than eighty percent.

In any case, he was not planning to immediately Continue cultivating the Mountain Splitting Fist, so it did not matter that his physical strength had not fully recovered.

By the light of the moon, Xiao Yang walked to the center of the Small Courtyard.

Then, he took out the Demonic Beast Essence Blood from the System Space.

Without any hesitation, he dripped some of the Demonic Beast Essence Blood from the specially made glass bottle onto his body.

The instant the Essence Blood touched his skin, Xiao Yang immediately felt a burning sensation.

He quickly spread the Demonic Beast Essence Blood across his body.

As the Demonic Beast Essence Blood spread, Xiao Yang felt that burning sensation all over his body.

It felt as though flames were scorching his entire body.

"Fuck!"

Xiao Yang could not help crying out in pain.

However, he still endured the pain, assumed his stance, and began cultivating Dou Qi.
