Reinforcement Experiment

Mo Yunxuan nodded and said to Wang Yuan, "Uncle Wang, you can go down first. Have the Elite Vanguard gather here later."

"Yes, Master."

Wang Yuan nodded and walked out of the training ground.

After Wang Yuan left the training ground, Mo Yunxuan attempted to extract essence from the fierce beast.

[Essence extraction failed. Please ensure the devil beast is dead.]

Seeing the prompt on the system panel, Mo Yunxuan's mouth twitched.

This system is truly idiotic, not even providing a manual! There's no choice but to wait for the Elite Vanguard to arrive.

As for opening the cage himself and killing the fierce beast for its essence?

What a joke! Does anyone know who Mo Yunxuan is? The Duke of Wei of the Dagan Dynasty, commanding two hundred thousand Imperial City Imperial Guards.

He needs to personally kill a devil beast? What a joke!

Without waiting long, the Elite Vanguard members began to enter Training Ground No. 3 one after another.

As the training ground gate closed, those outside could no longer perceive what was happening inside without attracting attention.

Mo Yunxuan immediately spotted a familiar figure and waved at him.

"Li Tieniu, take your men and kill all the fierce beasts first."

Li Tieniu cupped his fists and accepted the order. The other Elite Vanguard officers didn't need his command;

they tacitly divided themselves into groups of ten and spread out to hunt the fierce beasts trapped in the small cages.

In less than five minutes, there were no longer any fierce beasts alive in the training ground.

Mo Yunxuan waded through the blood and used essence extraction on the Giant Strength Ant corpse in the cage.

A progress bar immediately appeared on the system panel.

As the progress bar advanced, cracks began to appear on the Giant Strength Ant's corpse.

When the progress bar was full, the Giant Strength Ant's corpse finally decomposed into a pile of powder, scattering on the ground.

[Level Three Blood Essence ×1]

Seeing the Blood Essence appear in the system, Mo Yunxuan wanted to retrieve it, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't.

When Li Tieniu approached, the system suddenly gave a prompt:

[Do you wish to use Level Three Blood Essence to strengthen this unit?]

Mo Yunxuan, who was on the verge of going crazy, raised an eyebrow. "Good heavens, so it can only be used directly!"

Idiotic system! Why not give a direct prompt? It made me try for so long.

However, despite his complaints, Mo Yunxuan still selected "Yes" on the system panel.

After Mo Yunxuan confirmed the use of Level Three Blood Essence on Li Tieniu, the Blood Essence in the system panel instantly vanished.

This scared him greatly, thinking the system had malfunctioned again. Unexpectedly, a burst of airflow suddenly erupted from Li Tieniu.

It blew Mo Yunxuan, who was caught off guard, back two steps before he could steady himself.

Then, a series of crackling sounds followed. Although he couldn't see the muscles beneath the armor, the muscles on Li Tieniu's face and hands seemed to come alive, writhing uncontrollably.

It made Mo Yunxuan's scalp tingle!

After all movement on Li Tieniu's body ceased, Mo Yunxuan opened his attribute panel:

[Name: Li Tieniu]

[Faction: Dagan Dynasty Wei State Duke Mansion]

[Cultivation: Mid Golden Core]

[Cultivation Method: Blood Battle Scripture]

Seeing Li Tieniu's realm easily advance by one tier, Mo Yunxuan's heart bloomed with joy.

But out of curiosity about the process of merging Blood Essence, he asked Li Tieniu, "Tieniu, how is it? How do you feel?"

Li Tieniu, who had just recovered from the sensation of his strength advancing, still had some confusion in his eyes.

He subconsciously replied, "Uh, it feels very comfortable. During the advancement process, my whole body felt comfortable, and my physique and cultivation naturally broke through to Mid Golden Core."

Mo Yunxuan hesitated for a moment and asked with some struggle, "Was there any pain in the middle?"

Mo Yunxuan stared intently at Li Tieniu. Apart from that time in the barracks, his gaze was never this serious.

In his previous life, although Mo Yunxuan was a grown man, his resistance to pain was pitifully low.

After transmigrating here, he hadn't encountered any situation that could genuinely make him feel pain, so he had naturally forgotten about it.

Having just witnessed the somewhat terrifying scene of Li Tieniu's advancement, the fear of pain instantly surged into his heart.

The key point was that merging Blood Essence to increase strength was simple, convenient, and had no side effects. It was infinitely better than sitting alone and cultivating.

Coupled with the numerous protagonists in similar situations, merging Blood Essence to increase strength would inevitably become his primary method of advancement in the future.

If I hadn't asked beforehand and prepared myself mentally, what if the pain was unbearable? Wouldn't I be rolling on the ground?

My dignified image as the Duke of Wei would be ruined then.

After Li Tieniu adjusted to his enhanced body, he said to Mo Yunxuan:

"Reporting to Duke, during the absorption of the Blood Essence, I was in a completely relaxed state, without the slightest feeling of pain."

Mo Yunxuan nodded with satisfaction upon hearing his answer, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

He then walked to the corpse of the Qingyan Turtle and began extracting Blood Essence again.

After the extraction was complete, the Qingyan Turtle's corpse, like the Giant Strength Ant's, turned into a pile of powder.

The panel still recorded:

[Level Three Blood Essence ×1]

This point gave Mo Yunxuan some speculation:

Does the level of Blood Essence only depend on the level of the Fierce Beast?

And is it unrelated to other factors?

With such doubts, Mo Yunxuan summoned another officer from the Elite Vanguard.

[Name: Chen Yuanshan]

[Faction: Dagan Dynasty Wei State Duke Mansion]

[Cultivation: Early Golden Core]

[Cultivation Method: Blood Battle Scripture]

He opened his Data Panel, which was identical to Li Tieniu's before his promotion.

Then, he infused the Qingyan Turtle's Blood Essence into Chen Yuanshan's body.

After another round of horrifying flesh and skin writhing, Chen Yuanshan's Data Panel changed to:

[Name: Chen Yuanshan]

[Faction: Dagan Dynasty Wei State Duke Mansion]

[Cultivation: Mid Golden Core]

[Cultivation Method: Blood Battle Scripture]

Looking at the change in cultivation on the panel, Mo Yunxuan's previous guess was confirmed.

Afterward, Mo Yunxuan didn't continue experimenting but quickly extracted the Blood Essence from the remaining corpses.

[Level Three Blood Essence ×598]

Looking at the amount of Blood Essence on the panel, Mo Yunxuan's sense of satisfaction doubled.

But looking at the Elite Vanguard officers present, Mo Yunxuan sighed inwardly, Alas, the Blood Essence I just stockpiled will be gone in the blink of an eye...

It can't be helped. For myself, for Meng Qianxue, for the entire Wei State Duke Mansion, what is a mere Blood Essence? If the old ones are gone, new ones will come.

I can stockpile more Blood Essence in the future!

While the impulse was still strong, Mo Yunxuan began his experimental journey again.

This time, he wanted to see if the same Level Three Blood Essence could help a Mid Golden Core cultivator advance to Late Golden Core.

So, Mo Yunxuan summoned Li Tieniu again and used one portion of Blood Essence on him.
