199: Chapter 199 Come in with me

"Use Cultivation!"

Chen Hu thought silently to himself.

Immediately, one year of Cultivation appeared within Chen Hu's body.

A portion of the Cultivation appeared directly at the Triple Burner, transforming into invisible flames to perform tempering.

Very quickly, the Triple Burner was tempered to its limit.

And Chen Hu had also cultivated the Organ Refining Realm to Perfection.

Without Chen Hu needing to command it, the remaining Cultivation suddenly dispersed, falling into the blood throughout his entire body, automatically tempering his blood.

Approximately 180 days of Cultivation were consumed.

Chen Hu's entire blood supply had been tempered once.

However, the remaining True Qi suddenly stopped working.

It allowed the tempered blood to circulate throughout his entire body along his blood vessels.

As the blood circulated, wisps of blood Qi escaped from the blood, then were absorbed by his body and True Qi.

After his body absorbed the blood Qi, it gained a very obvious strengthening.

Similarly, after the True Qi absorbed this blood Qi, it also became stronger.

In the blink of an eye, the blood completed several cycles, and at the same time, it no longer exuded blood Qi.

And those remaining portions of Cultivation still had no movement.

At the same time, Chen Hu felt somewhat weak.

He had cultivated his Cultivation Technique to the highest level; after a moment of thought, he understood what was happening.

It was because his blood lacked nutrients and could not undergo a second tempering.

Therefore, he had to first replenish the nutrients for his blood.

Thus, Chen Hu took out an Origin Stone, held it in his palm, activated his Cultivation Technique, and brought the Origin Qi inside the Origin Stone into his body.

As the Origin Qi entered his body, the blood inside him automatically emitted a powerful suction force, drawing this Origin Qi into the blood.

Furthermore, it was conveying a message to Chen Hu — more.

Chen Hu did not dare to delay and continued to absorb the Origin Qi within the Origin Stone.

After absorbing the Origin Qi from three Origin Stones, the blood was finally satisfied.

Then, the blood began to circulate within his body again, continuing to release blood Qi.

After the blood circulation flowed several times, it stopped releasing blood Qi again.

Obviously, it was hungry again.

Chen Hu took out more Origin Stones again, brought the Origin Qi into his body, and let the blood absorb it.

Just like that, back and forth, after consuming a full 25 Origin Stones.

The remaining Cultivation finally moved.

It continued to temper his blood.

Very quickly, the remaining Cultivation was exhausted, but the second tempering of the blood was still not completed.

However, it was not far from completing the second tempering; with another ten days or half a month of Cultivation, it should be able to complete the tempering.

"No wonder there are so few in the Blood Refining Realm; it turns out the consumption of cultivation resources is just too great!"

Chen Hu said thoughtfully.

Take the treasury of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion as an example; there were over two million jin of exotic beast meat, tens of thousands of Spirit Medicines, and over ten thousand boxes of Medicinal Pills.

Yet there were only over 3,000 Origin Stones.

From this, one can see how precious and rare Origin Stones are.

Suddenly, Chen Hu had a thought.

He directly used a sound transmission gu to contact Hu Feilong: "Old Hu, have you ever heard of Origin Stones?"

Although his own Cultivation was much higher than Hu Feilong's, his knowledge might not necessarily compare to his.

After all, before obtaining the System, he was a member of a bottom-tier Gang.

Hu Feilong: "Replying to Brother Hu, I have heard a little, but I am not qualified to come into contact with things like Origin Stones."

Chen Hu asked again: "What is the price?"

Hu Feilong said: "There shouldn't be a price, because Origin Stones cannot appear on the market, as they are controlled by the Imperial Family. Even high-ranking civil and military officials and nobles cannot privately hoard Origin Stones; once discovered, it results in the confiscation of property and imprisonment."

"If one must set a price, it would be at least ten million taels of silver per piece!"

Hearing the price of ten million taels per piece, Chen Hu fell silent for a moment.

He had just absorbed 25 Origin Stones; calculating at ten million taels each, hadn't he just used 250 million taels of silver?

And the over 3,000 Origin Stones he had obtained from the treasury of Marquis Weiwu were worth over 30 billion.

"Fortunately, Marquis Weiwu does not know that I was the one who robbed his treasury. If he knew, he would probably run all the way to Linjiang Prefecture to kill me!" Chen Hu thought to himself.

He sensed his own Cultivation.

Chen Hu was very satisfied.

He hadn't expected to not only Breakthrough to the Blood Refining Realm.

But also directly reach the Middle Stage of Blood Refining.

After midnight tonight, when the second blood tempering is complete, he would be able to reach the Late Stage of Blood Refining.

"Awesome!"

Chen Hu wished he could shout out loud.

Chen Hu was not prepared to use the remaining three cards now.

He also did not intend to use the three Advanced draws and the 12 big gift packages now.

It wouldn't be too late to use them after activating the good luck card tonight.

Just at this moment.

Wang Quan used a sound transmission gu to send him a message.

Wang Quan: "Brother Hu, I just received news that the Yellow Heaven Sect made their move last night and directly captured a prefecture-level city!"

Chen Hu: "Alright, I know. Do your superiors have any new moves?"

Wang Quan: "Yes, the superiors have ordered me to continue sending people to Feilong Prefecture to join the Yellow Heaven Sect's rebel army. Previously, I had drawn members from the subordinate cities. If I continue to send people, this time I will have to use members from the Prefecture City."

Chen Hu thought for a moment: "Continue sending them; the more people sent, the more soldiers we can control!"

Wang Quan said: "Alright, I will select people and send them over right now!"

After cutting off contact.

Chen Hu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Great Yong Kingdom only has nine provinces, and now rebel armies have appeared in both Yunzhou and Lingzhou.

Then what is the situation in the other seven provinces?

Chen Hu estimated that the other six provinces might fall into chaos, but Central Province should not be chaotic.

After all, the Royal Capital is considered to be in the Central Province.

The most elite Imperial Guards are stationed within the Royal Capital. If there were an uprising in the Central Province, the Royal Capital could send an army to quell the rebellion.

Just at this moment.

A maid reported from outside that a Squad Leader from the Zhenwu Division had come to visit.

It was still the same Squad Leader who had delivered invitations for Luo Ningshuang twice.

This time.

He brought a letter for Chen Hu.

After giving the other party five taels of silver as a running fee.

Chen Hu opened the letter.

There was only one line of text on the letter paper: Come to the Jinhua Inn in the Inner City to see me.

The signature was Luo Ningshuang.

Putting away the letter, Chen Hu closed the office door, had General Zhao Zilong stand guard, and then directly used the Earth Escape Divine Ability to head toward the Inner City.

Very quickly.

He found the Jinhua Inn through his Spiritual Sense.

After emerging from the ground in a nearby deserted alley, Chen Hu strode toward the Jinhua Inn.

"Young Master Chen, please follow me."

When the innkeeper saw Chen Hu, he immediately greeted him warmly and then led him to a small courtyard behind the inn.

"Young Master Chen, you can go in by yourself; I will take my leave now!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Chen Hu nodded at him, then pushed the door open to enter the courtyard and casually latched the courtyard door.

Very quickly, Chen Hu saw Luo Ningshuang, who was sitting in the main hall wearing casual clothes.

"Ningshuang, what is the matter that you invited me here?"

Chen Hu sat down beside her with a relaxed demeanor.

"I just received orders from above to lead a team to Yunzhou!" Luo Ningshuang said with feigned calmness: "This mission is very dangerous, and I may not return. I don't want to owe you too much, so I plan to give myself to you!"

Luo Ningshuang's tone was still calm, but after finishing the last sentence, her ears were completely red.

Hearing this.

Chen Hu couldn't help but be stunned.

"What, are you not willing?" Seeing that Chen Hu did not speak, Luo Ningshuang's tone couldn't help but sink.

"Don't misunderstand, it's not that I'm not willing, it's just that the surprise came too suddenly!" Chen Hu quickly explained.

"Then come into the room with me!"

Luo Ningshuang stood up and walked toward the side room.
