Bloodthirsty Gu's Second Replenishment!

With sufficient resources now, he no longer had to worry about being drained dry by the Bloodthirsty Gu.

Zhou Feng could finally cultivate with all his strength.

He swallowed several Blood Pills at once, and his powerful stomach began to work.

The Blood Pills had barely reached his stomach before they were completely digested, turning into a vast amount of blood qi.

He had actually noticed this long ago.

Besides digesting food, the Gluttony passive ability—

could also digest medicinal pills faster and extract more of their potency.

The loss of medicinal potency was an entirely normal phenomenon.

After all, no one could completely absorb all the medicinal power within a pill.

Different constitutions naturally had different rates of utilizing medicinal potency.

But after gaining Gluttony, Zhou Feng felt as though his stomach had truly turned into an incinerator.

It could absorb nearly all medicinal potency without any loss.

It even returned additional blood qi. That was rather impressive.

When he had first obtained the Gluttony passive ability, he had looked down on it somewhat.

But now, it seemed that Gluttony was actually quite powerful!

The vast blood qi circulated along a fixed route, further tempering Zhou Feng's body.

As he used the blood qi to temper his body, he began practicing the Adamantine Great Strength Fist where he stood.

This was also a method of helping the blood qi circulate more effectively.

And so, he cultivated himself to the point of forgetting everything in the depths of the mountains.

When thirsty, he drank some spring water. When hungry, he ate dried meat.

Whenever his blood qi ran low, he simply devoured Blood Pills.

With Gluttony, he could eat Blood Pills as wildly as he pleased without getting indigestion.

By the end, he had actually eaten all the Blood Pills he had obtained from Zhao Jun.

"Has it only been a few days?"

Zhou Feng was somewhat astonished by how quickly cultivation resources were consumed.

Yet in turn, his progress had been remarkably fast.

His blood qi had now begun permeating his internal organs. The final three stages of the Body Tempering Realm involved tempering the viscera.

This was also the most difficult step, since a person's internal organs were simply too fragile.

One careless mistake could easily result in injury.

Moreover, Zhou Feng had no advanced method for tempering the viscera. He could only cultivate according to the crude method recorded in the Adamantine Great Strength Fist.

Thus, as soon as his Blood Pill supply failed to keep up, his cultivation speed would slow down.

Not to mention that every time he swallowed a Blood Pill, the Bloodthirsty Gu had to take its share.

And ever since the Bloodthirsty Gu had transformed and replenished him once before,

it had not replenished him even once since then.

It was the very embodiment of taking without giving.

But there was nothing he could do. Didn't he still have medicinal pills?

Although Zhou Feng did not understand the Origin Blood Pill, judging from its appearance and the Bloodthirsty Gu's reaction—

it should belong to the same category as Blood Pills, likely a medicine that increased blood qi.

So he picked up several Origin Blood Pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

If certain Inner Sect disciples had seen this, they would definitely have cried out, "What a wastrel!"

The Origin Blood Pill was not some Blood Pill that could be found everywhere.

It was a medicinal pill that could aid cultivation in the Qi Induction Realm. Even ordinary Inner Sect disciples would usually take only one at a time when cultivating.

And they could not take one every day. Although it was merely a medicine for tempering the body and increasing blood qi, not every Inner Sect disciple could afford it.

For Zhou Feng to swallow several at once, who knew how much medicinal potency would be wasted.

What an outrageous waste of heaven's gifts!

The moment several Origin Blood Pills entered his stomach, it rumbled like thunder, as though a machine were running at full power.

Rampaging blood qi began spreading wildly.

His skin seemed to be writhing!?

A closer look revealed that it was the countless blood vessels beneath his skin constantly expanding and contracting as they transported blood qi.

From afar, it looked as though countless insects were crawling beneath his skin.

The blood qi contained within several Origin Blood Pills exceeded Zhou Feng's expectations.

For the first time, he felt as though he were about to burst apart, but the sensation did not last long.

Once the Bloodthirsty Gu within him sensed such an abundance of blood qi, it was immediately overjoyed.

It sprang out and began absorbing it frantically.

The Bloodthirsty Gu absorbed it far faster than before.

No! It was more than ten times faster!

"This..."

The terrifying suction unleashed by the Bloodthirsty Gu nearly drained Zhou Feng dry in an instant.

A vast amount of blood qi flowed toward where the Bloodthirsty Gu resided.

But before long, wisps of even purer blood qi were replenished from the Bloodthirsty Gu's body.

Compared with the immense and chaotic blood qi from before, the blood qi replenished by the Bloodthirsty Gu was far purer.

Its effect on tempering the body was even more obvious.

As this blood qi circulated through his body, a tingling sensation spread through him.

Zhou Feng felt as though countless tiny insects were gnawing at his internal organs.

"It's tempering my internal organs? What a fast speed!"

He could feel with utmost clarity that this blood qi was tempering his internal organs.

And it was doing so more than ten times faster than before.

Is this the Bloodthirsty Gu's function?

Though it had continuously devoured immense amounts of Zhou Feng's blood qi before, it now played an extremely crucial role.

No wonder none of the Outer Sect disciples worried about whether they could break through to the ninth level of Body Tempering.

They only worried whether they could obtain enough Blood Pills.

So that was the reason!

As long as they had enough Blood Pills to feed the Bloodthirsty Gu and could persist until it replenished them—

breaking through to the ninth level of Body Tempering would be easy!

This Gu cultivation path was truly rather interesting!

It was equivalent to placing every cultivator on the same starting line. No matter one's talent, with sufficient resources, one could likewise cultivate to the ninth level of Body Tempering.

Of course, that was only within the Body Tempering Realm.

Zhou Feng did not know much about the cultivation realms beyond that.

Even so, it was incredibly impressive!

He truly did not know how this Bloodthirsty Gu had been refined—and how it could even be widely distributed. That was far too impressive!

Just as he was marveling at this, the Bloodthirsty Gu's replenishment began to weaken, because it was no longer absorbing vast amounts of blood qi.

Naturally, the Bloodthirsty Gu was unwilling to give away its own blood qi.

The moment Zhou Feng sensed the Bloodthirsty Gu's replenishment weakening—

he immediately swallowed all the remaining Origin Blood Pills in one gulp!

He intended to use this opportunity to break through to the ninth level of Body Tempering in one go, then attempt Qi Induction.

As long as he succeeded in Qi Induction, he could enter the Inner Sect. Entering the Inner Sect would also mark the true beginning of his cultivation path!

Along with the rumbling of his stomach, another vast amount of blood qi was replenished.

Once the Bloodthirsty Gu within Zhou Feng noticed this, it unceremoniously absorbed most of it, then replenished a small portion of purified blood qi.

Seizing the chance, he circulated that purified blood qi throughout his body.

The tempering effect of this purified blood qi was incomparably better than that of the chaotic blood qi.

In an instant, Zhou Feng broke through three stages in a row!

He leaped directly from the sixth level of Body Tempering to the ninth level!
