The Reason Taboos Were Called Taboos

"You do not know?"

Xue Chou looked at Lu Changzhi.

"I know, but only a little."

Lu Changzhi's Way:

"We stay away because the power wielded by those bald humans has a restraining effect on us."

"But is it because they are very strong that they Southern Region?"

Xue Chou withdrew his gaze and nodded:

"Yes."

After a pause, Xue Chou continued:

"That powerful figure from our clan back then probably didn't survive."

Lu Changzhi's heart skipped a beat:

"Since the Devil Master came from the Southern Region, there must be a way back there."

Xue Chou snorted coldly:

"It's easier said than done. The one from my clan is incredibly powerful, and even now, his Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty still holds sway over the Southern Region."

"If you're not strong enough, don't make these impossible plans. Continue to improve your strength, first destroy the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, then kill that damned Sword Immortal."

Lu Changzhi nodded and did not continue the discussion.

However, one thing is almost certain.

The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty should have a way to capture the Blood Devil.

"Once we've improved our strength, we can go and find out more."

Raising them yourself is slow, requires high investment, and yields low returns.

Waiting for the devil to come to his door is a highly efficient, low-input, and high-output strategy.

It's obvious which is better or worse at a glance.

Of course, all of this is based on having sufficient strength.

Having the capability is enough; this is called exploring new methods.

If you lack the strength, you're just trying to play with fire.

After chatting about other things, Lu Changzhi made an excuse to leave.

"Congratulations, host, you have completed the quest [Talk to Xue Chou and inquire about his origins], and have received: 800 experience points; Forbidden Secret Technique - Blood Refining Longevity Art *1."

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted.

There wasn't much experience to share.

However, this item reward sounds a bit complicated!

In the past, it was either cultivation techniques or martial arts skills.

The only time a secret technique reward appeared was when I took Qin Li as my disciple, and the reward was "Tiger Roars through Mountains and Forests," which was paired with the White Tiger Sacred Body.

This time, the word "taboo" was even added.

Adding those two words immediately elevates the overall weight of the product.

"As expected of a forbidden secret technique, even the name itself is extraordinary."

After glancing at the name, Lu Changzhi had a rough guess.

It should be a body-refining secret technique related to prolonging life.

With a thought, the information appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes:

[Blood Refining Longevity Art]: A forbidden secret art. An alternative method for seeking longevity, borrowing the strengths of other races to compensate for the limited lifespan of Human Race. It involves refining the essence and blood of others, and using the heart of Blood Devil Demon to extend lifespan, thus achieving immortality. According to the concept, as long as the essence and blood are exhausted, lifespan will not cease...

"Um?"

After reading it, Lu Changzhi frowned immediately.

No wonder it's taboo.

It is indeed a pursuit of immortality, but this blood refining process doesn't refine one's own blood; it refines someone else's.

Take a look at the detailed description of the secret technique.

The origin of this secret technique is mentioned in the text.

The "blood" in "blood refining" originally referred to the Blood Demon Clan.

Refine the Blood Demon Clan to extend your own lifespan.

The reason for this line of thinking is that the lifespan of Blood Devil is generally much longer than that of humans.

But this approach didn't work, so after a series of attempts, they used the Blood Devil Heart to refine the Human Race blood essence.

As long as there is a continuous supply of essence and blood to refine it, not only can lifespan be extended, but strength can also be increased accordingly.

However, Lu Changzhi noticed this.

The secret technique wasn't mentioned, but the system introduction did.

The level of the Blood Devil Heart will, in turn, affect the user.

Furthermore, once you begin, there is no turning back, and the required quality of essence and blood will only increase over time.

Furthermore, what is needed in one instance is definitely not just the essence and blood of one person.

A person's essence and blood, that's only a little bit.

The quality of one's essence and blood is related to one's aptitude, constitution, and age.

The younger the genius, the better.

Once a certain level is reached, the level of essence and blood cannot keep up.

The price of the secret technique will then be revealed.

"Most people might actually be attracted by the effect after seeing it."

Lu Changzhi shook his head.

They talk a good game but never actually perform; they only talk about how awesome they are, but at the cost of never mentioning anything else.

However, it cannot be denied that the word "immortality" does indeed have an extraordinary allure.

However, Lu Changzhi didn't feel much of a reaction.

He's still young; he has a long lifespan ahead of him.

If all else fails, there's always the Life Spirit Spring.

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi stored the secret technique back in the system's inventory.

The greatest benefit of this secret technique to me was probably that it made me realize there was a reason why it was called "forbidden".

Just then, the system voice sounded:

[Fifth Apprentice Recruitment Task Released]

[Mission Objective: Within three days, please accept Jin Fugui as your personal disciple.]

[Mission Restriction: Five Symbols Sect - Hidden Origin Peak - Jin Fugui.]

[Task Rewards: 20,000 Experience Points; Disciple Promotion Gift Pack *1.]

"Has the mission arrived?"

Lu Changzhi was startled.

This time, the purpose is clear.

Looking at the task limitations, Lu Changzhi sighed softly.

Name them by name and you will be rewarded with Jin Fugui.

"Now that the mission has begun, things should be nearly settled on Fugui's side as well."

At that moment, Lu Changzhi got up and walked towards Jin Fugui's residence.

Jin Fugui was still inside the house.

Lu Changzhi sensed that Jin Fugui was probably still cultivating at this moment.

After glancing at the "Fugui" attribute, Lu Changzhi's face revealed an expression of "I knew it."

Jin Fugui just met the requirements for taking on apprentices, and the system immediately issued him a task.

It seems that it will take some time before he finishes his cultivation.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi used his spiritual power to roll the Observing Chair over.

Since there's no rush, I'll just wait on the side.

"Fugui and status can probably be considered a mortal's path to immortality."

Thinking back to when I first met Jin Fugui.

In a daze, it felt like a very, very long time had passed.

Back then, Jin Fugui was a thin and pale waiter.

Realm? Aptitude?

To be honest, when I first met Jin Fugui, with the help of the system, the only thing I could see was his [talent].

Later, after coming to Hidden Origin Peak and getting to know him better, I realized that he was a good person in terms of character and conduct.

However, the reality is that, in terms of spiritual cultivation, these two things are far less important than having a high level of attainment and aptitude.

It can be said that when Jin Fugui first arrived, he had the lowest starting point in the entire Hidden Origin Peak.

Although Luo Ling'er's aptitude wasn't exceptional when we first met, she did possess a certain constitution, and after it was activated, she displayed extraordinary abilities.

In comparison, it's fair to say that Jin Fugui was just an ordinary person.

In contrast, in less than a year, unless one has seen it with their own eyes, who could connect the Jin Fugui of today with the Jin Fugui of the past?

Things are different now.

Such a comparison not only made Lu Changzhi sigh with emotion, but also made Lu Changzhi draw a conclusion.

Resources are really important.

Even ordinary people can grow if you flood them with water and increase the dosage.

If improvements are still limited...

Then let your master do his best, defy fate, and help him change his destiny!
