Blood Refined Ten Thousandfold, the Black-and-White Twin Tyrants

Two days later.

At the Heavenly Mist Sect.

Within the sect.

In Li Moqing's loft.

Boom!

The force radiating from Li Moqing suddenly changed. It surged outward like a raging wave, blasting everything in his loft to dust.

"Hmm?!" Li Moqing exclaimed in surprise. "Completing Blood Refinement made this much of a difference?"

Once cultivators reached the Fourth Stage of Qi Refinement, they could not only use Object-Assisted Flight but also refine the blood within their bodies.

The risk was immense, though, and most cultivators dared not try.

But who was Li Moqing? He feared no such thing. He had refined every drop of blood in his body, again and again!

Whoosh!

Li Moqing sensed the changes in his blood, and a faint smile touched his lips. "My blood is now ten thousand times stronger than an ordinary person's. I doubt anyone can match my perception."

"When I awaken Divine Sense, it'll surely far surpass that of cultivators at the same level!"

Cultivators awakened Divine Sense upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Layer, and how much blood they had refined determined its strength.

"Now that Blood Refinement is complete, it's time to break through to the fifth layer of Qi Refinement!"

He calmed his mind and took out the only two Low-Grade Source Stones he had left.

"Breaking through from the fourth layer to the fifth requires one Middle-Grade Source Stone. Will two Low-Grade Source Stones be enough?"

"If my needs have fallen by the same proportion as before, they should be. Besides, I have Sourceheart Tea to help me now."

"Ah, why worry about what might happen? I'll try breaking through first!"

With that thought, Li Moqing cast aside his doubts. He circulated his Source Power, liquefied the Source Stones in his hands, and absorbed them.

Whoosh!

At the same time, he drew in the dense Source Qi within the sect.

"Hmm? Even with Sourceheart Tea's help, one Low-Grade Source Stone still isn't enough to fill me up."

Li Moqing sensed the power from the Source Stone within him and murmured to himself.

"But that's all right. I'm only forty percent short. One more stone will do!"

With that, he liquefied and absorbed the last Source Stone.

Rushing, rushing!

The moment he absorbed it, the blood in his body roared like a surging torrent, growing hundreds of times stronger once more!

Boom!

In an instant, Li Moqing rose from the fourth layer of Qi Refinement to the fifth!

"Another instant breakthrough. Just what I'd expect of myself."

"Too bad I'm out of Source Stones, and I can't ask Elder Mo or Muxue for any. My next breakthrough will be difficult."

"Ah..."

Li Moqing frowned slightly and sighed.

In the Sect Discussion Hall.

"Sect Master, the three hundred Communication Talismans sold last time were snapped up instantly. Our sect received seven thousand two hundred Gold Yuan."

"All the Gold Yuan is in this bag. I've checked it, and there are no problems."

Mo Lingyuan reported to Li Moqing, then handed him a bulging cloth bag.

"Good. Thanks for the effort, Elder Mo."

Li Moqing accepted the bag with a smile and set it aside.

He could not be bothered to count it himself. Mo Lingyuan had already checked it.

"Of course." Mo Lingyuan changed the subject. "This time, I made an extra hundred Communication Talismans, so the sect can earn more Gold Yuan."

With his strength improved and Sourceheart Tea to aid him, he could make Communication Talismans much faster than before.

"I appreciate the thought, Elder Mo, but you needn't work so hard on them in the future. Focus on your cultivation."

Li Moqing's expression turned serious.

Only Zhang Xingfeng and Lü Liu still needed food and drink, so Gold Yuan grew less useful to the sect by the day. Li Moqing needed little of it himself.

He was merely preparing for the sect's long-term development. He could not let that delay Mo Lingyuan's cultivation.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Two days later.

At the Heavenly Mist Sect.

Within the sect.

In Dongfang Muxue's loft.

"The fifth layer of Qi Refinement! With Mother's Runic Formation no longer suppressing me, and with the sect's Cultivation Method, Source Qi, and Sourceheart Tea, my cultivation really has advanced a thousand miles in a day!"

Inside the loft, Dongfang Muxue beamed with joy.

"I must tell Master the good news!"

At the thought, Dongfang Muxue rushed out of the loft.

"Master, I..."

She had barely entered the Discussion Hall, before she could say she had reached the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, when Lü Liu spoke ahead of her.

"My lady... Senior Sister, I've entered Qi Refinement! I'm a real cultivator now!"

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Lü Liu!"

Seeing Lü Liu's excitement, Dongfang Muxue could not bear to dampen her spirits. She held back her own elation and offered her congratulations.

"Hehe!" Lü Liu smiled innocently. "It's all thanks to the Sect Master. He gave me the chance for Spirit Awakening and Enlightenment and let me bathe in water from the Sacred Cleansing Waterfall. My Spiritual Wisdom has risen to three stars!"

"Oh? Junior Sister Lü Liu, you have Three-Star Spiritual Aptitude too?"

Zhang Xingfeng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!"

Lü Liu nodded happily.

"Hmm? Muxue, you've reached the fifth layer of Qi Refinement?" Mo Lingyuan changed the subject. "Have you refined your blood?"

"Sixty percent. After that, it became too dangerous. I didn't dare continue."

Dongfang Muxue answered with a frown.

"Sixty percent is excellent. I only refined forty percent back then."

Mo Lingyuan praised her, though a trace of regret showed on his face. "If I'd refined sixty percent—or even fifty—my Divine Sense would be much stronger now. Ah, what a pity!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng and Lü Liu silently resolved that when they reached the fourth layer of Qi Refinement, they would refine more of their blood, no matter how dangerous it was!

"Master, how much of your blood did you refine?"

Zhang Xingfeng put aside his thoughts and asked curiously.

"As for me..." Li Moqing paused, then answered as lightly as a passing cloud, "One hundred percent."

"One hundred percent?!"

Zhang Xingfeng and the others stared wide-eyed and cried out.

Hiss!

They all drew in a sharp breath. For an ordinary cultivator, refining even ten or twenty percent was fraught with danger. Most did not dare attempt it at all!

One hundred percent—how difficult must that have been?

"As expected of Master!"

Dongfang Muxue spoke from the heart.

"Indeed!"

Mo Lingyuan and the others nodded numbly.

Li Moqing kept his faint smile, his heart still as an ancient well.

How could Mo Lingyuan and the others know that Li Moqing had not only refined every drop of his blood, but had done so more than once?

Meanwhile, ten li from the Heavenly Mist Sect.

"Chen Guyu, where do you think you're going?"

Two white-haired elders pursued a young man in green, their voices vicious.

The young man was covered in wounds. Blood seeped out, staining his green robes red.

His face was pale. He was not only badly injured but utterly exhausted!

He slowed more and more, and his pursuers were almost upon him.

"You stole the sect's Cultivation Method and still think you can escape?"

The two white-haired elders closed in on Chen Guyu and shouted at him.

One wore white and was named Tian Guihu; the other wore black and was named Di Hualong.

Both were inner disciples of the Overlord Tiger Sect at the fifth layer of Qi Refinement. Known as the "Black-and-White Twin Tyrants," they had been sent to hunt down Chen Guyu.

"Heh. Stole the sect's Cultivation Method? That method belongs to my Chen Household!"

Chen Guyu turned around, gave a bitter laugh, and shot back.

He fixed Tian Guihu and Di Hualong with a stare full of hatred.

"Your Chen Household? Your family was wiped out long ago. It clearly belongs to our Overlord Tiger Sect!"

Di Hualong's voice was grim.

"Exactly. Hand over the Star Lodging Scripture of Enlightenment, and since you're a member of our sect, we might spare your life!"

Tian Guihu chimed in.

"Wiped out? Hah... hahaha..." Chen Guyu looked up at the sky and laughed bitterly. "Wasn't it you villains who wiped out my family?"

"Oh? You found out? No wonder you stole the Cultivation Method!"

Di Hualong sounded surprised, but brushed it off. "You can't blame us. Your family simply wasn't strong enough to keep a Top-Grade Yellow Tier Cultivation Method."

"Hand over the Star Lodging Scripture of Enlightenment!"

He edged closer to Chen Guyu, his voice threatening.

"In your dreams!"

Chen Guyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat out the words.

"Ah, we never should have spared him because he had Five-Star Spiritual Aptitude, much less brought him back to the sect!"

Tian Guihu's face was full of regret.

"Tell me about it. The sect raised him to the Qi Refinement Third Layer, yet he showed no gratitude and even stole its Cultivation Method!"

Di Hualong spoke mockingly, then his gaze sharpened. "A thankless wretch like him deserves to die. Kill him and take back the Star Lodging Scripture of Enlightenment!"

"Good!"

Tian Guihu nodded.
