123: life

"Is the reward more important, or is staying alive more important?"

"Both are important."

Chu Yuan was speechless: "You are quite greedy..."

Wang Ying shook her head: "You newcomers who have just arrived at the Outer Heaven Battlefield always have this mindset; you will get used to it later. There are not that many sure things. As long as the reward is big enough, it is worth taking the risk with a twenty percent chance of success!"

"Twenty percent chance? Doesn't that mean an eighty percent chance of failure?"

"Go, go, go..."

Blood light reappeared, and the nameless city below, after experiencing a brief commotion, once again turned into a dead zone!

Actually, after refining the first Three-Tailed Lizard city, Chu Yuan was already a bit stuffed;

It was strange to say, he could easily slaughter them, but they could stuff him to death... if he kept absorbing.

Driven by the life origin and Soul Origin of the Three-Tailed Lizard, Chu Yuan was about to achieve a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Middle Stage!

On the Flawless Golden Core, three patterns appeared, but they did not seem abrupt;

It was as if they had always been part of the Golden Core, just hidden before, and only now revealed...

Among them, the first two patterns had completely taken shape;

The third one was just one step away...

Wang Ying could often feel a breath from Chu Yuan that encompassed all things and was incomparably profound;

But that was not Chu Yuan's own aura, but the charm leaked when operating the Golden Core Great Dao Song... This also indicated that Chu Yuan could no longer maintain perfect control over his own body, so the matter of devouring and refining needed to be slowed down for a while...

He began to hoard blood pills and spirit nurturing pills;

In his spare time, Chu Yuan had pondered such a question.

His current main Cultivation Technique, the Golden Core Great Dao Song, whether it sounded or looked like it, belonged to that kind of grand and upright type;

But now he was mainly using evil methods like blood sacrifice to promote his Cultivation... Was it a bit incongruous?

However, there was no 'Heavenly Dao' sending lightning to strike him...

There was another question: at this speed, by the time he Cultivated to the Golden Core Late Stage, the Golden Core Great Dao Song would be finished;

Could other Cultivation Techniques, even those compiled by Ninth Realm powerhouses... compare to its strength?

Chu Yuan thought to himself, is there a possibility that the director who created the Martial God Scroll did not actually sacrifice himself?

But was hiding in some unknown place, concentrating on compiling Cultivation Techniques;

Waiting until he Cultivated to the Golden Core Late Stage, that person would suddenly appear before him with the complete version of the Martial God Scroll and insist on teaching it to him...

"Qi Deviation?" Wang Ying stretched out her fair, tender hand and waved it in front of his eyes, asking curiously;

"...I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

"Go ahead and ask."

"How old are you this year?" Although they hadn't spent much time together, they had been through a lot, so Chu Yuan didn't have many scruples when speaking;

"If my lifespan were the same as an ordinary person's, which is one hundred years, I should be only eighteen years old now."

"Heh, then I'm only three years old now..." Chu Yuan sneered, thinking to himself that three years old was even an overstatement...

Cultivators naturally have a sense of their own lifespan;

It was just that he was too young and there was no need to pay attention to this point... Anyway, he wouldn't be able to live it all out.

During the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had sensed that his lifespan should be between three hundred and five hundred years;

After stepping into the Golden Core Stage, his lifespan had skyrocketed tenfold! Starting at three thousand years!

It was a pity that he hadn't mastered any means like sacrificing lifespan in exchange for benefits, so he couldn't cash it out, which was a great pity...

He silently calculated the lifespan of a Divine Power Realm Martial Artist and said quietly: "You are already over one hundred and fifty years old?"

"So what?" Wang Ying didn't seem to care much about age, curling her lips and saying;

"It's nothing." Chu Yuan smiled: "I just feel like you don't look like it."

"Tch, what do you know..."

Chu Yuan felt that he might indeed have some stereotypes. In the web novels he had read in his previous life, female Cultivators who were hundreds or even thousands of years old could still look 'naive and cute';

Grandma Wang was just a bit lively... it didn't seem to matter;

Even if she might have held his great-grandfather when he was a child...

If it were really as he had thought, becoming mature, prudent, and taciturn with age, wouldn't all the strong people in the world have the same personality?

"Qi Deviation again?"

"No... do you want a couple of bites?"

"Ah? What couple of bites..." Before Wang Ying could finish her sentence, she sensed a massive amount of life origin surging in!

In an instant, it blocked her doubts back into her stomach...

...

The scenery of the Lianshan Secret Realm was really boring. Chu Yuan withdrew his gaze somewhat listlessly, looked at Wang Ying, who was Cultivating with her eyes closed next to him, and sighed;

It really delays things, a Breakthrough to the Sixth Realm is so troublesome...

Wang Ying had been stuck at the Fifth Realm for many years, only because her talent was a bit poor and her resources were insufficient, so she had never achieved a Breakthrough to the Sixth Realm.

The life origin and Soul essence of the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan filled in the last short board for her;

Therefore, the Breakthrough... was a matter of course.

It just took too much time...

The surface of Wang Ying's body was vibrating at a specific frequency, emitting a large amount of heat, and the surrounding temperature rose because of it.

Chu Yuan knew that changes were happening inside her body, but he didn't know what those changes were;

And it was impossible for him to use his Divine Sense to look.

But based on his own experience in Cultivation and his understanding of the Sixth Realm, it was nothing more than a tighter combination of energy and body within her!

Thereby achieving the scene of regrowing severed limbs and regenerating flesh and bones, greatly improving survival ability!

He seemed to have achieved this point when he achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, but he had never suffered any serious injuries, so he didn't know how efficient it was...

Not only that, he could even convert spiritual power into Divine Sense through his Golden Core!

But... this characteristic had never played any role;

There was no scenario where it was needed...

"Sixth Realm! I've achieved a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm!" Wang Ying finally finished her Cultivation, stood up, and was full of joy;

"Chu Yuan! Thank you!"

"...Thank the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan, it's all thanks to their help." Chu Yuan didn't feel it was anything;

The Three-Tailed Lizard Clan wasn't his own. Although he knew how to set up Formations, Wang Ying had also helped...

Besides, he couldn't take all the benefits for himself, right? The blood pills and spirit nurturing pills he had accumulated were already enough for a long time of consumption.

Chu Yuan had never been someone who liked to hog all the benefits...

"Hehe~" Wang Ying smiled, still happy by herself;

Chu Yuan asked curiously: "Since they knew we were coming to execute this kind of mission, why didn't anyone in our team learn blood sacrifice methods in advance?"

He didn't think it was because others weren't as smart as him, that he could think of things others couldn't... There must be some reason for it.
