"Hmph, that’s right, they’ve all been refined, how could they betray? But this is a Demon Path technique, Jin’er better not learn it."
"Jin’er knows, it seems Master is also a Body Cultivator..."
"Oh? No wonder Chen Ye has a nice figure... ahem, I didn’t say anything."
"Alright... alright. Jin’er heard nothing."
In summary.
The two got along very well.
As for Chen Ye.
He stayed in the Quiet Chamber for several days, not stepping outside.
On the table, the crimson Jade Scroll acquired from Li Min’s Storage Bag emitted a strange blood light, flickering in Chen Ye’s eyes.
"Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated."
Chen Ye murmured.
He didn’t want to switch to the Demon Path; it was the confrontation with Li Min that made him wary of the means of the Emotion Crossing Sect.
The filth of the Blood Soul Banner, the eeriness of the blood-related Secret Technique, if not for his strong Divine Sense and special Cultivation Technique, he might have suffered greatly.
"’Blood Ignition, Shadow Transformation Escape’..."
Chen Ye probed into the Jade Scroll with his Divine Sense, selecting an escape technique and began deducing the route for energy circulation.
It was a profound Dharma Method.
Li Min had used this technique to avoid Yu Zang’s multiple assassination attempts.
And Chen Ye currently lacked escape techniques; had it not been for Wang Teng who endured the opponent’s attacks head-on, he might have been injured somewhat.
The principle of this Cultivation Technique is to ignite one tenth of the blood essence within the body, explosively releasing power beyond the physical limits, transforming into an invisible blood shadow, moving fast enough to easily evade a cultivator’s Divine Sense lock.
But the price was also severe.
Blood essence is the foundation of a cultivator, once burned, the light consequence is severe damage to Primordial Qi and a drop in Realm; the heavy consequence is total destruction, becoming a cripple.
"For most people, this is a desperate trump card."
Chen Ye squinted slightly, within him, the Life and Death Profound Light Sutra slowly circulated, black Spiritual Power flowing along his meridians,
"But for me... perhaps I can modify it."
Life and Death flow alternately.
Bloom, endlessly rejuvenating, creating infinite possibilities;
Wither, annihilating Vitality, all things perish.
"What if I use the abundant Vitality created by Bloom to replace the need to burn blood essence?"
It was a bold idea.
But Chen Ye first practiced the Evergreen Technique, then studied the Life and Death Profound Light Sutra, both techniques were involved in the path of Vitality.
Of course.
The most important thing is that both of Chen Ye’s Cultivation Techniques had broken limits, especially the Evergreen Technique, which had transformed twice!
Even back in the Qi Cultivation Stage, he could revive withered things.
"Rise!"
Chen Ye commanded in a low voice.
In an instant, the Spirit Sea in his body surged, countless strands of Spiritual Power rich in Vitality rushed through his meridians along the path of ’Blood Ignition, Shadow Transformation Escape’.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
The intense pain that should have come from burning blood was replaced by a warm flow.
The massive Vitality-infused Spiritual Power was compressed at specific acupoints, transforming into an extremely strong burst of power!
Swoosh!
Within the Quiet Chamber, lights and shadows flashed.
Chen Ye’s figure vanished into thin air!
No, not vanished.
He was just too fast!
Only a faint afterimage trailed in the small Quiet Chamber.
"Stop!"
Chen Ye halted, steady at the table’s side, not even lifting a page from the table with the wind.
"Success."
He looked at his hands, a glimmer of joy passed through his eyes.
The improved escape technique replaced the burning of blood essence with burning Vitality.
Although the burst power was slightly inferior to the original version, it far surpassed ordinary escape techniques!
The most important thing is,
it had become a conventional method, usable anytime, with no side effects!
If there’s any side effect, it’s just the high consumption—so high it strains Chen Ye’s major circulation to replenish the loss.
After all, condensing pure Vitality requires a vast amount of Spiritual Power.
But in view of its advantages, such a side effect is negligible.
"If I can’t win a fight in the future, no one will be able to catch up with me when I run."
Chen Ye felt great, stowing away the Jade Scroll.
Just as he was prepared to strike while the iron was hot and practice a bit more.
"Buzz—"
The communication talisman at his waist suddenly started vibrating.
Chen Ye picked it up and looked at it, his expression turning slightly curious.
It was Bai Susu.
The message was brief and hurried:
"Come to the west courtyard quickly, there’s an urgent matter."
"Urgent matter?"
Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.
These past days Bai Susu was busy socializing with his disciples, barely acknowledging him.
Why suddenly look for him at this time?
Could it be the injury resurfaced?
Or did she get upset with the disciples and want to vent on him?
Remembering the awkward dinner a few days ago, a smile naturally curved on Chen Ye’s lips.
"Oh well, let’s go see what this Golden Furred Ball is up to now."
