C16 Successive Breakthroughs

Hearing the words of the Cursed Spirit, Zhou Qing was completely speechless.

Seize a spirit vein of medium or above grade? Simple as that!

In a place with spirit veins, the spiritual energy was extremely condensed, and it was purer and richer than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was extremely beneficial to cultivators, so cultivating was twice the result with half the effort.

Furthermore, even the smallest of spirit veins would be enough for hundreds of cultivators to cultivate in at the same time, let alone the medium, large or even giant spirit veins.

The number of spirit veins naturally formed was limited. Even if the size of the Profound Heaven Continent was added together, the total number of spirit veins would not exceed two hundred. Moreover, most of them were controlled by the Mysterious Sky Sect, the Four Great Families, and the Hundred Immortal Sects.

There were very few ownerless spirit veins, so it was obvious how expensive they were!

However, when such a precious item was said by the Curse Spirit, it appeared to be as casual as trash. Thus, one could not blame Zhou Qing for having such a reaction.

Ignoring the spirit, Zhou Qing put aside the matter of planting the ancient Bodhi tree and started to examine the storage ring that he had learned from Lan Ning.

As the Second Young Master of the Lan family, Lan Ningwen's wealth definitely made most people jealous. Zhou Qing was naturally aware of this, and when he had held Lan Ningzhi hostage earlier, he had taken his storage ring.

"300 Spirit Opening Pills, 20 Soul Concentrating Pills, 9 healing pills, Qi Explosion Pills, one Superior Grade Magic Sword, one Superior Grade Magic Cloak, and one Demonic Armor …"

Zhou Qing examined it carefully, the joy on his face growing.

"Zhou …" Can you give me that pill? "

Just as Zhou Weiqing was counting his things, the Curse Spirit's surprised voice suddenly sounded out.

"What pill?"

Zhou Qing was puzzled. He did not know what the Cursed Spirit was talking about.

After searching carefully, he finally found a light golden pill the size of a longan fruit in a pile of items.

The Cursed Spirit said, "Spiritual Replenishing Pill … "This is it!"

Taking the golden pellet out from his storage ring, Zhou Qing carefully examined it. Upon hearing the three words "Spirit-Replenishing Pill", his gaze immediately turned cold.

What was a Spirit-Replenishing Pill? As the name implied, it was a medicinal pill used to repair the damage to the soul.

Only by reaching the Spirit Realm, combining the three souls with the spirit, and forming a lifeblood soul would one be qualified to swallow this pellet!

Zhou Qing had only seen this Spirit Replenishing Pill in the Zhou family's ancient records. If it weren't for the reminder from the spirit curse, he would not have recognized it.

"Although this Spirit-Replenishing Pill's refinement technique is average and its grade is not high, it can still be considered to be of some use to me."

Seeing that Zhou Qing was still deep in thought, the Curse Spirit spoke again.

Normal forging technique? Low grade?

Hearing the Curse Spirit's words, Zhou Qing's mouth twitched.

Pills that could heal physical injuries could be seen everywhere, but pills that could repair the soul were extremely rare and terrifying. Their value surpassed the former by a hundred times, and could be said to be priceless.

For such a precious medicinal pellet, the Curse Spirit actually disdained it?

"Little brat Zhou, are you questioning this sovereign's judgement?"

Sensing Zhou Qing's thoughts, the Curse Spirit immediately became dissatisfied: "What kind of pills have I not seen before? "Thinking back then …"

"Stop stop stop, I'll give it to you."

Zhou Qing hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt the Curse Spirit's boasting. He then placed the Spirit Replenishing Pill on his palm.

Soon, a misty ray of light shot out from the Stone Spirit Bone and rolled up the Spirit Recovery Pill before returning and disappearing.

Although Zhou Qing felt a bit pained, if it wasn't for the Curse Spirit, he would have been unable to continue his life and would not be able to continue cultivating, much less obtain so many good things.

Repaying kindness with kindness was a principle that Zhou Qing had always adhered to.

After finishing this, Zhou Qing's attention was suddenly attracted by a light golden lotus. He immediately raised his eyebrows and revealed a smile.

"This is …" Thousand Soul Buddha Lotus! "

According to the records of the "Profound Sky Spiritual Medicine Record": Thousand Soul Buddha Lotus, bitter taste, sweet, warm, non-toxic. It was a special medicine that could only grow in extremely dirty places. It had the miraculous ability to dissolve filth and cleanse the soul.

The Thousand Soul Buddha Lotus was one of the necessary spiritual medicines to break the seal on Song Zixuan!

Zhou Qing had originally planned to search for the spirit medicine he needed to unseal it. However, he was forced to come out early this time. He thought that he would not be able to obtain one for the time being, but he never thought that Lan Ning would actually find one here.

It was really like looking at the dead end of a mountain, like seeing a flower in the dark and then finding a village!

During this trip to the Ten Thousand Devil Cave, Zhou Qing could be said to have reaped a great harvest, and his wealth had skyrocketed.

Putting aside unexpected pleasures such as the Spirit-Replenishing Pill and the Thousand Soul Buddha Lotus, the Blood Bodhi Fruit and the True Blood Lotus would make countless people's eyes go red with envy if one were to simply bring them up.

Needless to say, he had even pulled out the entire ancient Bodhi tree …

On the bow of the ship, Zhou Qing was sitting cross-legged. Blood was surging out from his body, jumping around like a divine flame. In this black mist that was shrouding the entire water surface, it seemed especially clear.

Blood Bodhi was truly worthy of being one of the top 10 most precious treasures of the Mysterious Sky Spirit Grass. After taking it for a moment, Zhou Qing felt the blood within his body begin to boil.

With both of his kidneys slightly heating up, Zhou Qing could clearly feel that his almost depleted Qi of Xiantian had once again recovered.

Under the effects of the renal water, the essence, qi, and blood were all stored in the mingmen.

During this process, the remaining medicinal power would fuse into his spleen and stomach, transforming into even more exquisite 'Essence Qi'. It would leave his midbrain, lose it to his heart and lungs, and with the help of the natural clear Qi, it would link up with his heart and veins, and under the effect of the Heart Qi, it would transform into fresh blood, which would flow along his entire body.

The bones were dried, the veins were dried, the muscles were strong, the skin and flesh were walls, the five grains entered the stomach, the meridians were clear, and the blood and Qi flowed through the body.

Creatures were one and the same. Veins, blood, flesh, bones, internal organs, and so on were all closely interconnected, and each of them had a connection with the other.

Zhou Qing's three dantian regions were all destroyed and his life force was gone. His innate energy was also almost depleted and his lifespan was less than half a year.

But now, under the effects of Blood Bodhi, the innate refined energy was regenerated, transforming into blood essence and bone marrow. This would make up for the blood and vitality of his body that had been depleted.

Innate vital energy was essential for living beings. If one did not replenish their innate vital energy, even if they took medicines to replenish their vital energy and blood, it would not be able to treat their illness.

As the saying goes, 'nothing can't be supplemented', that was what it meant.

When the medicinal properties of Blood Bodhi were fully unleashed and he could feel the surging life force within his body, a pleasantly surprised smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face.

He could clearly feel that his lifespan had increased to ten years!

His lifespan of a few months was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment. But now, this urgent problem had been solved!

After resting for a moment, Zhou Qing did not hesitate and directly took out the True Blood Lotus from the Fated Stone Space.

Since his lifespan had been extended, the next mission was to consume the True Blood Lotus and repair his damaged meridians!

The moment the True Blood Lotus appeared in his hands, the water within a few meters of the small boat seemed to have been boiled away. Many fish spirits and water ghosts in the voodoo water surrounded the small boat, swimming around it. It seemed like they wanted to pounce on it but did not dare to approach it due to the Soul Repelling Incense.

A spiritual herb like the True Blood Lotus had an unimaginable attraction to demons!

Without being disturbed by the big fish in the water, Zhou Qing picked up the True Blood Lotus and ate it like he was chewing on a radish. The blood-red liquid flowed down the corner of his mouth, making the essence of the fish even more frenzied!

As soon as the Blood Lotus entered his stomach, it turned into boiling medicine that attacked his limbs and bones.

Zhou Qingxin knew the efficacy of the lotus, so he quickly circulated the Allspirit Curse in order to remove the medicinal effects. At the same time, he used his spiritual power to neutralize the berserk medicinal effects.

Along with the circulation of the Qi Method, the medicinal strength of the Solidified Blood Lotus quickly melted and seeped into his eight extraordinary meridians, repairing the damaged meridians.

Zhou Qing's original meridians were extremely fragile, just like a piece of paper that had been moth-eaten. As long as the wind blew, it would break.

At this moment, under the effects of the True Blood Lotus, the surface of the damaged meridian channels was quickly covered with a layer of blood colored film.

Ego felt warm inside his body. The true blood lotus was so effective that it could not only heal Zhou Qing's meridians, but also nourish his internal organs.

Blood, meridians, bones, skin … Every part of his body was constantly undergoing transformations. Old skin was shedding, new skin was growing, and his damaged meridians were being repaired. Black blood was being discharged from his pores and was being washed over his body by the spirit energy.

After the true blood lotus's medicinal strength had been completely refined and fused into his meridians, Zhou Qing's originally broken meridians were finally restored!

If it was said that his meridians were previously riddled with holes, paper that had long decayed, then now it was the tough skin of a fiendish demon.

With his lifespan replenished and his meridians completely restored, Zhou Qing's heart felt incomparably carefree. He could not help but let out a long howl, and immediately began to circulate the Myriad Ghost Chapter.

He could finally cultivate freely!

Along with the circulation of the magic art, the turbid air that had been floating on the surface of the water started surging up crazily and merged into Zhou Qing's head.

To ordinary cultivators, this turbid air was simply the most terrifying poison. Even the slightest bit of it would be extremely troublesome.

However, Zhou Qing was different!

Once the turbid Qi entered his body, the Fate Stone and spirit bone immediately transformed and fused with the medicinal strength of the Blood Bodhi in his body, quickly transforming into pure and nourishing spiritual energy.

The spirit energy circulated within Zhou Qing's body and quickly extended outwards, flowing towards the meridians that he had not broken through.

However, a feeling of swelling filled the air. It felt as if there was a thin layer of barrier preventing the spiritual energy from breaking through.

Zhou Qing wasn't in a hurry. He continued to refine the spiritual energy, turning it into his own power.

The Qi flowed in his body and gathered together. Under Zhou Qing's control, it started to revolve violently, and fiercely pierced towards his meridians.

He couldn't help but grunt in pain.

He didn't hesitate and endured the pain as he continued circulating his spirit energy, rolling over and over, assaulting the acupoint barrier again and again.

Compared to the spirit bone being dug up and his Dantian being broken, what was this pain worth?

Puff!

Under Zhou Qing's relentless attacks, the barrier around the meridian point stopped resisting. Soon, the barrier was broken through by the Spiritual Qi and the entire meridian point exploded, forming a whirlpool of continuously rotating Spiritual Energy.

Three days quietly passed by.

On the third day, the medicinal efficacy of the Blood Solidification Lotus was finally exhausted. As for Zhou Qing, the Spiritual Qi Vortex in his body had already reached three hundred and fifty.

He was only half a step away from the peak of the Spirit Opening Realm!

Zhou Qing's hand clenched into a fist. He could feel his current strength. As he circulated his spiritual energy, it went smoothly without any obstruction.

It was obvious that his current physique was far superior to before.

Even so, Zhou Qing was still not satisfied.

The latter stage of the Spirit Opening Realm was still too weak. He planned to break through to the peak realm in one go!

Perceiving the changes in his body, Zhou Qing took out the twenty Soul Concentrating Pills he had obtained from Lan Ning from the Stone of Life Space.

The Spirit Opening Pill had already lost its effect on him. Only the Soul Concentrating Pill used by the Spirit Condensation Cultivator would be able to replenish his cultivation in time.

With the assistance of the Soul Concentrating Pill, Zhou Qing continued to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, another six days passed. Zhou Qing had already reached the final stage of his cultivation.

Following the circulation of the Ten Thousand Spirit Curse, the surrounding spiritual energy surged in like crazy and was absorbed into his body. After it gathered with his spiritual energy, it charged toward the last meridian point!
