Chapter Eleven: Su Ming's Fury

  Su Ming thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out the effect of Qing Chen San. In the memories he obtained, there was only the method of refining it, but no specific use.

  Until noon when the sun was scorching hot, Su Ming hesitated for a moment before leaving the place.

  All the way galloping, with little monkey back to his scattered place, little monkey did not stay here for too long, came back and ran out again.

  Outside, Su Ming stood against the mountain wind, half leaning on the wall, holding that cyan medicinal stone in his hand, deep in thought.

  "What's the use of this... taking it orally is ineffective, and applying it externally is also ineffective..." He furrowed his brow, the medicine he had finally managed to refine was now seemingly useless, making Su Ming feel like the past month had been a complete waste.

  He stared at the medicine stone and gritted his teeth suddenly.

  Forget it, everything still needs to be tried by oneself! I'll swallow this Qingchen San and experience it for myself!" Su Ming's personality had a decisive side, at this moment after making the decision, he didn't hesitate, and immediately put the Qingchen San in his hand into his mouth.

  The medicine melted in Su Ming's mouth, and a strong medicinal fragrance spread out, forming a hot flow that surged into his body, but it quickly dissipated, leaving no intense sensation.

  Su Ming was stunned there, hastily sat down to try to condense his blood vessels, but it was no different from usual, still having that kind of feeling as if the blood was not enough.

  He grasped his hair in frustration, full of regret, and this time he really felt that the past month had been completely wasted.

  "It can't be, there must be other uses!" Su Ming was disappointed but didn't give up. No matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out, and could only let out a long sigh, bitterly smiling to himself.

  After half a moment, the red shadow transformed from the little monkey flashed from the foot of the mountain and rushed over, soon approaching Su Ming. It jumped several times in front of him, threw a handful of wild fruit, and then left again.

  Su Ming sighed inwardly and picked up a wild fruit, continuing to ponder while eating.

  One, two, three...

  Unconsciously, Su Ming let out a satisfied burp, spat out the fruit pit, rubbed his belly, and thought again. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the remaining fruits, just as he was about to withdraw when he suddenly froze.

  "Full? Huh!!" Su Ming stared at the wild fruits with wide eyes, then immediately counted the fruit pits he spat out, a total of fifteen.

  He vaguely felt as if he had grasped something, his heart pounding with excitement.

  I have been fond of eating this wild fruit since I was a child, and Xiaohong often picks some for me over the years... but I don't like to eat too much each time. In the past, after eating eighteen or nineteen, I would feel half full...

  "Just now, I only ate fifteen, and I'm actually full! Is my appetite smaller? Or... is it related to something else?" Su Ming licked his lips, remembering that he had swallowed a Clear Dust Pill earlier.

  "Could it be that this Clear Dust Disperser is a medicinal stone that can replace food?" Su Ming's eyes gleamed with contemplation.

  "Or, to put it another way, this Qing dust can increase the... effect of things!!" Su Ming's heart was racing fast, and with a deep breath, he turned around and rushed into the small hole, quickly entering his own refining dust area.

  He remembered that there was still a small amount of Wulong tea left, which was quite precious and could not be obtained on rainy days, so he had been reluctant to drink the remaining bit.

  He quickly returned to the cave, took out the small bottle containing a few drops of Wulong saliva from his basket, opened it without hesitation and drank it in one gulp.

  As for Wulóng jiān, Su Míng was extremely familiar with it. These few drops entered his abdomen and immediately a faint coolness spread out, flowing through his entire body, gradually merging into his blood.

  Just then, the coolness that had condensed from the wok's steam suddenly increased by about 10%, a seemingly insignificant amount, but one that Su Ming felt extremely clearly.

  After Na Juan's coolness merged with her blood, it transformed into a boiling force that caused four blood lines to appear on her body when she circulated her blood vessels, emitting a bloody glow.

  After a long time, Su Ming opened his eyes, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, and his eyes showed excitement.

  "It's really like that! This Qing dust disperses, if taken alone, has no effect, but if it is taken with other things, it can increase its original efficacy. It seems simple, but in fact, it is extremely extraordinary!" Su Ming's spirit was greatly lifted, and this refining and dispersing technique gave him a great boost of motivation.

  "On the door to obtain the refining method, there were fifteen small holes, apparently requiring me to insert fifteen such medicinal stones. However, for now, I don't even have enough medicinal stones for myself...” Su Ming hesitated for a moment before deciding to hold back and speak slowly once more."

  He made up his mind and hastily rushed to the side of the deserted cauldron, continuing to scatter the remaining herbs.

  Apart from Quan San, he also let the little monkey go out to find herbs, collect a large number of those plants that his grandfather would take away each time in his memory, crush them into juice with the method of their tribe and drink it down, and then use Qing Chen San to assist. As a result, the speed of his cultivation increased immediately.

  Time flies, and two months have passed. In these two months, Su Ming has hardly gone out, and the Fire Cave has become his second home. Moreover, its existence is not easily detected, allowing Su Ming to cultivate here with peace of mind.

  In two months, he refined a lot of Qingchen San and took it with those medicinal juices that increased his blood energy. Gradually, the fifth bloodline condensed on his body.

  Even the sixth bloodline is faintly visible, and it seems that if this continues, it won't take long to fully achieve.

  At this moment, the outside is already in winter, and the remaining mountains are covered with snowflakes. Only around the Black Flame Peak, the snow melted before it fell, but as a result, this place was shrouded in fog. From a distance, it looks very strange.

  If it were a foreigner who came here for the first time, they would certainly be very interested in this place. But as for Su Ming, he had grown up nearby since childhood and was already used to the strangeness of this peak.

  On this day, Su Ming's knees were bent, and the blood lines on his body were extremely dense. The five thin lines wrapped around his body seemed to have a life of their own, looking very astonishing.

  Blood light continued to scatter, Su Ming's body was covered in sweat, his body slightly trembling, but his expression was full of determination. This was his third attempt in half a month to condense the sixth blood line. Once this line condensed successfully, he could become a second-level Blood Condensation Warrior.

  Most importantly, he will be able to perform the first savage technique of his life, one that belongs to their tribe, called the Spirit Devouring Technique!

  This technique is not performed in mid-air, but rather requires the freshly dead bodies of some beasts. Through the convergence of its own brutal bloodline, it can sense the spirit of the deceased beast and extract it, temporarily increasing a part of its own abilities.

  After mastering the barbaric skills, one can be called a barbarian warrior, and will have obvious differences with other tribesmen, being several times stronger.

  After a long time, Su Ming's body shook and the blood light surrounding him gradually dissipated. The five blood lines on his skin also gradually faded away, condensing into the sixth blood line, failing once again.

  Su Ming took a deep breath, remained silent for a moment, then took out some medicinal liquid, mixed it with Qing Chen San and swallowed it again, starting another round of cultivation.

  Time passed day by day, and before one knew it, another month had gone by. The entire Wulon Mountain was already covered in a thick layer of snow, and even the Black Flame Peak was shrouded in an even thicker mist. Even the hot air seemed to be showing signs of dispersing.

  The coldest time of the year has arrived.

  But for Su Ming, at this moment, it was the most critical time. After his tireless efforts and with sufficient medicinal herbs and Qingchen San, Su Ming's cultivation speed in the Congealing Blood Realm was extremely fast. Now, the sixth blood line had already taken shape and was at a crucial moment just before condensing and emerging.

  The little monkey is also unwilling to go out in this winter, its whole body hair is fiery red, and it's too eye-catching on the white snow, so before winter arrives, it will calm down.

  At this moment, it crouched beside Su Ming, panting and staring at Su Ming with its eyes rolling around, but suddenly it turned its head sharply, its eyes revealing a fierce gaze, and its ears moved slightly.

  Faintly, some sounds came from outside...

  "Ugly teeth, you said the Tianyan grass grows here? We've been searching for half a day and haven't found it. Did you make a mistake?" It was a gloomy voice that fell into Xiao Hou's ears, making his body tremble.

  "It shouldn't be, I remember when I first saw it was just a sprout, so I hid it with a crude technique nearby. Now that I think about it, the days should have passed and it should be mature by now. You know, the people who come to collect herbs here are all ordinary clan members, they wouldn't be able to see through my crude technique." The person answering had a slightly sharp tone.

  "Then let's hurry up and find it, if this Tianyan grass really exists, maybe I can break through to the third layer quickly and enter the fourth layer realm. As for you, you should also be able to enter the third layer."

  "Don't be impatient, it should be here, I can still feel the aura of the magic... If you can reach the fourth layer, then you'll be able to enter the Black Mountain Hunting Team. I heard that this time's prey is personally set by Ah Gong himself... Whatever we get, it all belongs to us."

  The voices of the two people talking grew louder and closer, sounding as if they were just outside, making Little Monkey tense up with bated breath. It could vaguely sense the presence of the two people outside, who posed a great threat to it.

  It kept looking back at Su Ming, but Su Ming had his eyes tightly closed, his body slightly trembling, and the blood light on his body was getting brighter and brighter. The sixth blood line seemed to be completely solidified at any time.

  But just at this time!

  "Found it!! Huh? Look here, there's actually a hole, but unfortunately it's a bit small!"

  "Not bad, it's indeed the Tianyan grass! As for this cave... This used to be the land of the Huo Man, and there is a fiery heat around this cave. It should be empty inside. Since we've come, let's take a look too. A small cave entrance can't stop me." The two voices came over, and the content of their conversation made Little Monkey's face change greatly.

  With a sudden burst of anxiety, he gritted his teeth and turned back to give Su Ming a deep look before transforming into a red shadow that darted directly into the small hole at the exit, following which he flashed away in an instant.

  The outside world immediately transmitted sounds of shock and excitement.

  "Is it a fire monkey or just a young body, haha!!"

  "This is where it takes refuge from the cold, catch it and its blood is a great tonic for us, its fur can even be offered to Ah Gong!"

  With a shrill cry, the sound outside gradually faded away, but inside the cave, Su Ming's face was twisted and he was shaking violently.

  "You... looking for death..." Su Ming suddenly raised his head and let out a furious roar.
