118: Chapter 118 It's definitely not poisoning.

However, Chun Xiaobai's face was twisted in frustration; he was so angry that he almost scratched bloody marks onto his face with his nails.

Because, after consuming 200,000 Spirit Stones, damn it, he was still stuck at the Blood Refining Seventh Layer!

"Forget it, I don't want to talk about it."

Chun Xiaobai finally understood now; his Physique and his Cultivation Technique had a long and arduous road ahead.

In the end, with tears in his eyes, he took out all his Spirit Medicine, grabbed a handful, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it mouthful after mouthful like an old ox grazing on grass.

Feeling that his stomach couldn't take any more, he sat cross-legged and fully focused on refining that massive medicinal power, guiding the Origin of the herbs to wash through his limbs and bones, attempting to forcibly open the divine vaults within his blood.

However, a surprising scene occurred.

Using his Divine Sense to look inside, he discovered that his blood was no longer bright red, but had turned a somewhat dark red, as if he had been poisoned.

But this was definitely not poisoning!

Because he could clearly feel that the excruciating pain of his Meridians tearing and twisting into knots while Cultivating was slowly diminishing!

This... is this his blood undergoing a metamorphosis?

Chun Xiaobai was greatly astonished. No longer caring about the cost, he continued to refine while stuffing those Tier 2 Spirit Medicine into his mouth by the handful, as if they were free.

The Origin contained within the Spirit Medicine could not be compared to Spirit Stones.

After he had consumed a full thousand stalks of Tier 2 Spirit Medicine, wisps of faint golden light actually began to emanate from his dark red blood!

That's right, his blood was slowly evolving from bright red toward gold!

"This, could this be opening the Bloodline divine vault?"

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Chun Xiaobai grinned and swallowed the remaining few hundred stalks of Tier 2 Spirit Medicine in one go.

When the medicinal power of the last stalk was completely absorbed, the barrier of his Blood Refining Seventh Layer Realm shattered with a roar!

Blood Refining Eighth Layer!

Both the toughness of his body and the power of the blood Qi within him had completed a metamorphosis at this moment.

Especially when looking inside, he could see that the blood flowing through every Meridian carried a trace of faint gold; although it was still very light, it was real.

He knew that he would probably have to wait until he reached the Blood Refining Realm Great Perfection before his blood could completely finish its metamorphosis.

His Blood Refining Realm was different from the ordinary Qi Refinement Stage; the Qi Refinement Stage could reach Foundation Establishment at the Ninth Layer Peak, but his Blood Refining Realm had a full twelve layers! Only after the Ninth Layer could one be considered to have entered the so-called "Perfection Period."

He must push through to the Perfection Period to have the capital to wrestle with those Core Disciple.

After all, they were solidly one full Realm higher than him!

Having made his decision, Chun Xiaobai immediately took action.

He stood up, took a huge wooden basin out of his storage ring, placed it on the ground with a "clatter," and then waved his hand to take out all his Medicinal Pill.

There were about three thousand bottles of Tier 1 Medicinal Pill in total, and over two hundred bottles of Tier 2 Medicinal Pill.

Anyway, his Physique was immune to all poisons, so he didn't care if they were for healing or Body Tempering, poison or antidote; he just unscrewed the caps and poured them into the wooden basin.

Clatter, clatter!

The empty pill bottles were tossed into the corner by him, and in just a quarter of an hour, they had piled up into a small mountain.

In the wooden basin, the various Medicinal Pill were mixed together, colorful and looking like a pot of hodgepodge.

He even found a wooden ladle, reached in to stir it, and muttered to himself: "This way it's even."

"More than three thousand bottles of Medicinal Pill, it's not too much to ask to let me raise another small Realm, right?"

However, looking at the "Medicinal Pill porridge" that was half a meter in diameter and filled a large basin, he was troubled again.

When would he finish eating this?

Not to mention whether there was enough time, Chun Xiaobai touched his stomach; he feared his stomach was about to suffer.

But thinking of the bulging Storage Pouch of those Core Disciple, he felt that if he didn't get his hands on those treasures, he would probably regret it for a lifetime after leaving Wanling Mountain.

After weighing it repeatedly, he gritted his teeth and decided to let his stomach suffer a little!

He picked up the wooden ladle, scooped up a full ladle of Medicinal Pill, and poured it into his mouth, not even bothering to chew.

Until his stomach was bulging and couldn't hold any more, he immediately sat cross-legged, circulated his Cultivation Technique, and fully absorbed and refined it.

Just like that, the Medicinal Pill in the wooden basin decreased layer by layer.

And the blood within his body, with the refining of the Medicinal Pill, became increasingly deep in gold color.

Fortunately, these three thousand-plus bottles of Medicinal Pill were not eaten in vain.

It forcefully pushed his Realm from the Blood Refining Eighth Layer Early Stage all the way to the Eighth Layer Perfection, just one final kick away from stepping into the Blood Refining Realm Late Stage!

However, at this moment, the usable resources were basically bottoming out, leaving only the last one hundred stalks of Tier 3 Spirit Medicine.

This was his last stash.

Originally, he wanted to save them as a trump card, but now he couldn't worry about that.

Chun Xiaobai, with a dark face, took out all one hundred stalks of Tier 3 Spirit Medicine and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.

Tier 3 Spirit Medicine was indeed worthy of being Tier 3 Spirit Medicine; one stalk consumed, and the medicinal power was even more massive than one hundred stalks of Tier 2 Spirit Medicine.

After eating ten stalks of Tier 3 Spirit Medicine, the gold in the blood within his Meridians deepened by another fraction.

Twenty stalks... fifty stalks...

When he swallowed the seventieth stalk of Tier 3 Spirit Medicine, he heard a crisp "crack," as if some invisible shackle within his body had been shattered in an instant!

A massive force surged out from within his body, shaking the entire Immortal Cave and causing dust to fall continuously. Even Fang Yuan and the other two, who were in seclusion next door, were given a big fright by this sudden commotion!

"Not bad, not bad!" Chun Xiaobai felt the surging power within his body, his mouth grinning from ear to ear.

"These resources didn't go to waste!"

He excitedly stretched out his palm, wanting to try the newly comprehended Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Palm.

But just as his palm was raised, he forcibly restrained himself.

Just kidding, with his current strength, a casual wave had tens of thousands of jin of force.

If he were to punch with full force, it would be at least one hundred thousand jin to start.

If this palm were to land solidly, he feared he might bury himself on the spot.

Crack! Crack!

He stretched, his joints emitting a series of crisp popping sounds like exploding beans, and an unprecedented feeling of comfort spread throughout his whole body.

He could feel that the blood within his body had been completely covered by a layer of faint gold.

"I wonder if this golden blood has any special effects; I must get some out to test when I have a chance."

Chun Xiaobai stroked his chin and pondered; if this stuff could be sold as medicinal material, whenever he had no money in the future, he could just draw some blood to trade for Spirit Stones.

Creating his own blood and selling it himself, wouldn't that form a perfect closed loop?

Would he ever need to worry about resource consumption in the future?

"Tsk tsk tsk, perfect!"

Chun Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction, then puffed out his chest, put his hands behind his back, and swaggered out of the Immortal Cave.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Fang Yuan, Xiao Zhang, and Bai Jiner with dark faces, standing at the entrance of the cave like three door gods.

"Yo, what's this? Welcoming This Great King out of seclusion?" Chun Xiaobai asked with a grin.
