Marrow Cleansing Cultivation, Anomalies Ascend

He drew a deep breath, a faint glimmer of joy appearing in his eyes.

His hands began to move as he carefully took stock of the treasures.

Very quickly, he arrived at a rough count: 110 Baleful Intent-grade Essence Stones, 4,000 Curse-Grade Essence Stones, and 30 Fierce-grade Essence Stones.

This was an exceedingly abundant haul of resources, enough to raise him another level, more or less.

Without wasting any time, he immediately began.

One Essence Stone after another fell into his hands.

The Essence Stones trembled faintly, transforming into streams of pure essence under the Jade Tablet's power. They ultimately fused into his body and, as his cultivation technique circulated, turned into pure essence.

Strands of Dharma Power were woven one after another, soon reaching 365 strands when added to what he had accumulated previously.

Next, he began cultivating the Heaven and Earth Marrow Cleansing Curse.

Strands of Dharma Power began weaving themselves into a curse, which seeped little by little into his bone marrow.

The curse was like a web, enveloping the inside and outside of his entire spine.

An unusual force spread through the curse's web, madly scouring his spinal marrow.

Wave after wave of blazing heat spread from his spinal marrow throughout his body. Li Qing felt as though his entire body had been thrown into a furnace. The power radiating from his spinal marrow was interfering with his blood.

All of his blood seemed to undergo a complete rebirth, and this searing heat was one of its byproducts.

Intense pain battered his mind, seemingly intent on shattering his will and leaving him to despair and die amidst the agony.

At the same time, low murmurs filled the air.

It was impossible to make out what the whispers were saying, yet they pierced the heart like needlepoints.
