After absorbing Dragon Blood, Nalan Sheng became a Two-Star Dou Shi with greatly increased physical strength and stamina. He traveled toward the Black-Corner Region and began searching remote mountains for the Life Devouring Pills and their recipe.

• Nalan Sheng used the Dragon Blood on his skin and refined it with the Jinglei Formula, raising his cultivation to Two-Star Dou Shi and his punching force to over forty-three thousand kilograms.
