Myriad-Poison Physique
Poison Slayer spent five days refining those five drops of essence blood, and his injuries eased somewhat. There was now another pill in his hand. He was still wondering whether he should use it.
It was a pill that could extend his lifespan, but it also concealed a vast amount of poison. Even as a poison cultivator, it could kill him. Ordinarily, no cultivator would choose to use such a thing. He hesitated now.
Lin Yu had not rested during those five days either. That essence blood was truly too powerful; for the moment, he could not refine it.
In an instant, a backlash struck. Blood trickled from Lin Yu's lips, then he spat out a mouthful of blood. If Poison Slayer had been here, he would have felt some pity, but there was no way around it now.
The eyes he had kept tightly shut these past few days opened at that moment. He could clearly sense the three drops of blood darting about inside his body, even trying to burst through his flesh in an instant. Even so, they were suppressed by an inexplicable force.
He took out the spiritual fluid and gulped down two mouthfuls. These five days had drained his body far too severely. Even now, he did not know how he could refine the three drops of essence blood within him.
When his master had left that day, he had only told him to refine the three drops of blood within a month. Looking at it now, even one month seemed a little too short.
He could clearly feel the resistance of those three drops of essence blood. If their true body were here, they would likely have directly burst through the great circulation of Lin Yu's meridians and returned to the main body.
But Poison Slayer was not here now. Lin Yu thought to himself, Master really knows how to give me a difficult problem. This is no small challenge. How exactly am I supposed to refine three drops of essence blood?
Over the next week, Lin Yu barely woke at all. At this time, quite a bit of blood qi suddenly appeared within his body, while the essence blood within him no longer showed its violent aura.
Lin Yu mobilized the scant spiritual power in his body and began truly refining the essence blood. In that instant, he felt several times more blood qi appear within him. Lin Yu let out a long breath and opened his eyes. Thirteen days had passed, and he had finally refined one drop of essence blood. The spiritual qi in his bloodline had also grown fuller by several degrees.
"Master, it has already been thirteen days. Where exactly did you go?" Even as Lin Yu completed the task his master had assigned, he could not help worrying about him.
When he found no sign of Poison Slayer, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began refining once more.
After the previous refinement, Lin Yu had already completely understood how to refine it. It should not take long before he could fully refine the remaining two drops of essence blood. This truly was not easy.
Lin Yu woke this time only to restore his spiritual power.
In the distance, Poison Slayer watched Lin Yu sitting cross-legged beside the ice house and shook his head. His disciple had already refined one drop of essence blood.
His talent was beyond reproach. Now Poison Slayer still had to find a way to heal his injuries; otherwise, he would have no way to stay by Lin Yu's side for longer.
For now, he could not appear before Lin Yu. If those two drops of essence blood erupted, they would be enough to take Lin Yu's life. All he could do was guard him from afar.
The Myriad-Poison Physique—by fusing the poison qi in his body with essence blood condensed from myriad poisons, Lin Yu would be able to evolve into the Myriad-Poison Physique. After enduring all this torment, Lin Yu's body was destined to become exceptionally strong.
On the twentieth day, blood seeped from the seven apertures of Lin Yu, who had already refined two drops of essence blood.
Poison Slayer noticed it, and his eyes flew open in that instant. He thought, Child, it is not that your master refuses to step in and help you. This is the final moment. This third drop of essence blood will be of tremendous help to you.
In an instant, the blood qi in Lin Yu's body directly restored his flesh. He could clearly sense two auras continuously changing form. At that moment, Lin Yu said nothing.
In that instant, Lin Yu rose directly to his feet and roared, "What kind of storm can a single drop of essence blood stir up? Why not merge with me? Refine!" The blood qi instantly seemed to become a pill furnace.
That drop of essence blood had nowhere left to run. It was thoroughly fused into Lin Yu's body.
Seeing this from afar, Poison Slayer swallowed hard. He truly had not expected his disciple to accomplish this. What kind of power was this? Even now, he had not fully figured it out.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu sat cross-legged again. The three drops of essence blood gathered together, and that blood qi instantly entered Lin Yu's great circulation. At this moment, his Poison Body had formed.
At that instant, thunder boomed through heaven and earth. Heaven and earth could not permit such a heaven-defying physique to exist within the Four Seas and Eight Wastes. Poison Slayer could no longer endure it. An iron sword appeared in his hand, and he cleaved down with a single strike, shouting, "Heavenly lightning tribulation, you should not have appeared here." Lin Yu also opened his eyes at that instant.
He could not believe that his master was actually powerful enough to dare contend with heaven.
He had thought that this heavenly tribulation would not amount to much.
Yet what he saw was his master splitting the heavenly tribulation apart with one sword strike.
"Master, was that a heavenly tribulation?" Though he had guessed as much, he still had some doubts and had to ask.
Poison Slayer nodded. It truly had been a heavenly tribulation. Here in the Four Seas and Eight Wastes, heavenly tribulations did not seem especially strong.
"It doesn't seem as formidable as the rumors say." Lin Yu was the very picture of one who stood and talked without feeling another's backache. Hearing that, Poison Slayer merely chuckled from the side.
"You have never seen the true Heavenly Realm. The Four Seas and Eight Wastes seem to be under some kind of restriction. This heavenly tribulation wishes to strangle a genius in the cradle." Poison Slayer said so much that Lin Yu seemed to grow a little proud. After all, he rarely heard Poison Slayer praise him.
"The heavenly tribulations here are nothing much. Once you enter other great regions, you will understand." Poison Slayer explained patiently as Lin Yu listened at the side. Then Poison Slayer asked, "How is the cultivation of your Myriad-Poison Physique progressing?" At that moment, a strand of spiritual power appeared in Lin Yu's hand. It was the mark of the Poison Body.
"I see. Not bad. Rest for two days. Two days from now, you will learn martial skills." Poison Slayer's words reached Lin Yu's ears, and Lin Yu nodded. He truly wanted to sleep properly for two days now.
Back when he was in the Lineage, he never even had a chance to slack off, much less sleep in. He increasingly felt that life outside was far better than life within the Lineage...
