As his hand touched the Blood Amber, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes and watched it turn into a blood mist, drilling into his body through the "hole."
The blood mist entered his heart. With a bang, the heart whose beating had weakened moments ago suddenly gave a thunderous jolt. A vast quantity of blood qi was generated, flowing into his limbs and bones.
An indescribably powerful vitality filled the deficit in his body. Xu Yuan could practically watch the "hole" in himself recover before his eyes.
The Blood Amber's effects went far beyond that. Just like that day, his blood qi and physique began rapidly growing stronger beneath the blood mist's effects, directly advancing toward the fourth level of body tempering.
At that moment, Xu Yuan withdrew his hand from the Blood Amber on the ground, now diminished by roughly a quarter. Rather than absorb it all and advance into the fourth level of body tempering, he rose to his feet again.
As usual, the black words began urging him on. Xu Yuan suppressed the irritation in his heart and looked once more at this cultivation method.
Damn it, isn't it just some lousy body-refining technique? I'll cultivate it, then!
Muttering under his breath, he sank his mind into those ugly characters. The powerful talent of the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo revealed itself once more. A cultivation method that ordinary people would find exceedingly difficult to comprehend, he could read through without expending much effort.
Control of blood qi, control of the physical body, essentials of visualization—at this moment, the text seemed to turn into scene after scene within Xu Yuan's mind. Those images flowed naturally through his thoughts, making it seem as though he had practiced the technique again and again.
The dim cave had no concept of time.
