The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 316: Body Refining Rank Five, I Am Like a Dragon

"Ling'er, there's something else I want to discuss with you!"

"I hope Xinghuo can cultivate in my palace in the future. After all, the palace has the most suitable resources for the cultivation of the ancient Fire Clan bloodline."

After Palace Patriarch left, Palace Nanming said to Chen Ling with a serious expression.

Chen Ling couldn't help but feel helpless. Indeed, the Ancient Wilderness Tribe had the best techniques and resources for cultivating the ancient Fire Clan bloodline.

But after all, Xinghuo was his own flesh and blood. He wanted to treat all his children equally.

So that there would be no grievances in the future.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Father-in-law, the children are still young. Can we discuss this matter after Xinghuo grows up?"

With the current strength of the Chen family, they could naturally provide more than enough cultivation resources for Xinghuo.

Palace Nanming was about to speak, but Palace Mulan smiled and said, "Father, Xinghuo is the child of both the Chen family and the Palace family. It doesn't matter where he cultivates."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Palace Nanming frowned and glared at her, dissatisfied. "How can it be the same? The tribe has the blood of sacred beasts and abundant blood qi from Spirit Medicine. How can other places compare?"

Seeing Palace Nanming's serious expression, Chen Ling didn't say much.

Having experienced two complete lifetimes in the dream realm, he didn't take his children's issues as seriously as before.

Moreover, as his father-in-law said, the situation here would definitely be advantageous for Xinghuo's bloodline.

However, if the child stayed in the Ancient Wilderness Tribe, Lan'er would definitely have to stay as well, which would delay their progress.

"Ah, the Patriarch said that this matter is up to you, but he hopes that Xinghuo can inherit the Palace family's legacy in the future!"

Seeing that both of them were silent, Palace Nanming seemed to receive a transmission from the Palace Patriarch and shook his head.

"Father, when the child is older, I will bring him here to cultivate for a period of time."

Palace Mulan couldn't bear to see her father disappointed and comforted him with a smile.

Palace Nanming nodded. "First, try to obtain the blood of the sacred beast, and then we can discuss other matters."

"Alright, you've had a long journey. Go back and rest!"

Then the three of them left the stone house.

...

Chen Ling's family settled down in the residence where Palace Mulan used to live.

There were lush trees and a meandering stream around here, with delicate little carps of different colors playing in it.

"Husband, this is where I live. How is it? Beautiful, right?"

Entering the room, Palace Mulan introduced with a delighted expression.

Chen Ling smiled and nodded. The buildings in the tribe were not much different from those in Yudie City, except that the houses here didn't need to be distributed according to the concentration of spiritual veins.

"This is my cultivation room, and these are the medicinal herbs provided by the Patriarch to help you refine that drop of Flood Dragon blood."

Palace Mulan led Chen Ling to a cultivation room and handed him a small bone ring.

The room was extremely spacious, with a large bronze cauldron in the middle.

Chen Ling smiled as he took the bone ring. During this period of time, he had accumulated quite a bit of incense value, which was just enough to enhance the "War Dragon Immortal Thunder Body Refining Technique."

Next, Palace Mulan went to put the child to sleep.

Chen Ling simply cleaned up the cultivation room and set up a shielding array.

When making a breakthrough, unexpected situations might occur.

He didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble.

After finishing his work, he returned to the room. Palace Mulan and the child had already fallen asleep.

Chen Ling also went to bed.

...

In the sky, snow filled the sky, casting shadows on the ancient trees in the tribe, creating a magnificent scene.

The cultivation room was warm like spring.

Chen Ling waved his hand, and the virtual fire cauldron fell to the ground.

Then, with a thought, the Spirit Medicine in the bone ring fell into the virtual fire cauldron with a clatter.

"Thousand-Year Golden Blood Vine, Thousand-Year Bloodwood, Thousand-Year Blood Dragon Grass..."

"It's worthy of being a Rank Six tribe. There are so many high-value Spirit Medicine. With the addition of the Rank Five Flood Dragon blood and the enhancement of the 'War Dragon Immortal Thunder Body Refining Technique,' it should be enough to break through to Body Refining Rank Five."

Chen Ling's divine sense swept through the Spirit Medicine in the cauldron, calmly taking stock.

These blood qi Spirit Medicine were worth millions of spirit stones, and they were not easy to find on the market.

To gather all of them would take a long time, even with the strength of Wanbao Tower.

Moreover, these Spirit Medicines cannot simply be pieced together.

They are formulas that have been passed down for countless years by ancient tribes and summarized.

It's the same principle as the formulas for high-level pill refining.

This is the biggest advantage of Body Refining compared to Law Cultivation.

With powerful Body Refining Spirit Medicines and high-level Demonic Beast blood, one can quickly improve their strength in a relatively short period of time.

Because of this, in the resource-rich wilderness, the development of barbaric cultivators far surpasses that of physical cultivators.

Of course, precious things like Rank Five Flood Dragon blood are hard to come by even in such a place.

The combat power of a Rank Five Flood Dragon is already comparable to a Soul Formation cultivator, making it extremely difficult to kill.

The higher the level of physical cultivation, the higher the level of the cultivation materials needed, and many Spirit Medicines are equally rare.

Moreover, the higher the level of these Body Refining Spirit Medicines or blood, the more difficult it is to refine and absorb them.

For example, this drop of Flood Dragon blood in Chen Ling's hand would be difficult for an ordinary Rank Four physical cultivator to refine and absorb in a year or two.

And during the refining process, there are also unpredictable risks.

But for Chen Ling, these are not a problem.

His current physique is the War Dragon Thunder Body, combined with the Spirit Flame, which is enough to quickly refine and absorb the Rank Five Flood Dragon blood.

Five days is more than enough for him.

Of course, the most important thing is that drop of Rank Five Flood Dragon blood. As long as he can fully absorb it, even if he cannot successfully enter Rank Five, it won't be far off.

In addition, gaining some insights is also extremely important.

From the discussion with Palace Ancestor last night, Chen Ling learned that there is a huge qualitative change between Rank Four and Rank Five, which is no less than the impact of a Nascent Soul cultivator on the Soul Formation Realm.

Whether he succeeds or not, he must make an attempt.

With another wave of his hand, a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand.

Feeling the abundant blood qi inside the bottle, a hint of excitement flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.

He wants to seize the opportunity and use this drop of Flood Dragon blood to become a Rank Five physical cultivator!

Although he had made many preparations before, they were all life-saving cards.

But once he enters Body Refining Rank Five, the situation will be completely different.

Now that the Chen family's strength has greatly improved and they have many allies, they still need to quickly increase their strength.

Therefore, it is necessary for Chen Ling to quickly improve his Body Refining cultivation base in order to have a means of self-preservation.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ling opened the porcelain bottle without hesitation. With a flash of light, a stream of blood-colored light shot into the virtual fire cauldron.

The Flood Dragon blood instantly burst into a dazzling blood-colored light, releasing a majestic aura.

Faintly accompanied by the sound of dragon roars.

It's awe-inspiring!

If one's cultivation base is insufficient, they might be directly stunned by this dragon roar.

Although it's only a drop, at this moment the entire virtual fire cauldron is filled with a rich blood qi.

Occasionally, it emits a muffled sound.

"It really deserves to be Rank Five Flood Dragon blood!"

Feeling the powerful blood qi contained in the blood, Chen Ling's face was filled with joy.

There was a faint urge in his heart, should he enter the secret realm?

If he could find a few bones and condense a few drops of blood, he would greatly benefit.

Gazing at the Spirit Medicines and blood in the cauldron, he put away his distractions and jumped into the virtual fire cauldron.

At the same time, his hand moved, and a blue fireball shot out.

Directly falling into the virtual fire cauldron, enveloping all the Spirit Medicines and blood.

He began to refine the Spirit Medicines and blood.

Sitting cross-legged in the virtual fire cauldron, Chen Ling opened the panel.

Incense Value: 3800

Spirit Root: Supreme Grade Spirit Root of Four Elements (Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth, 65/100)(+)

High Grade Pseudo Thunder Spirit Root (32/100)(+)

Realm: Gold Core Ninth Transformation (15/100)

Body Refining: Rank Four Late Stage (73/100)

"Zhanlong Immortal Thunder Body Refining Technique" (Great Completion: 5/100)(+)

······.

"3500 incense value should be enough for an upgrade... Let's begin!"

Chen Ling's heart stirred, and his divine sense swept across the panel, adding a point to the "+" after the "Zhanlong Immortal Thunder Body Refining Technique."

Boom!

A vast and scorching hot airflow surged into his body like a raging sea.

Suddenly, in his sea of consciousness, there seemed to be a flickering shadow of a Flood Dragon, and countless insights bloomed like fireworks.

And that majestic airflow released a vast blood qi power, rapidly circulating through his meridians.

Within the Qi Sea, the cyclone thunder radiance of the Zhanlong Thunder Body shone brightly.

Hum!

The sound of a dragon's roar soared into the sky.

The virtual fire cauldron boomed and vibrated.

At the same time, the Spirit Medicine and essence blood were tempered by the cold spirit crystal flame.

They quickly contracted and condensed into a red river-like stream, giving him a feeling of being amidst turbulent waves.

Within the blood-colored river, there was a rolling force, tempering his physical body.

Chen Ling immediately activated the Zhanlong Thunder Body to its fullest, mobilizing his entire body's flesh and blood to absorb the essence blood.

However, his expression sank. As soon as these majestic medicinal powers entered his body, they directly merged into the scorching hot airflow.

Like a blood qi Flood Dragon, it wildly rampaged through his meridians.

Even though Chen Ling was already at the Rank Four of Body Refining, the immense pain made him unable to bear it and almost scream out.

He exerted all his strength to control it, but a muffled low drink still escaped his mouth.

With the power of his flesh and blood, he still couldn't quickly refine this majestic blood qi.

As the blood-colored river continued to surge into his body.

The pressure on his entire body's flesh and blood suddenly increased, and the blood-colored Flood Dragon continued to grow, slightly distorting the meridians.

The immense medicinal power emitted by the integrated union of the Flood Dragon's essence blood and the medicinal power continuously impacted Chen Ling's body from the inside out.

Chen Ling's face twisted. Since condensing the Flame of All Spirits, he rarely experienced such intense pain.

At this moment, his entire body's muscles, and even his internal organs, were experiencing waves of tearing pain, causing his muscles to uncontrollably tremble.

Body cultivation involves absorbing medicinal power, operating the cultivation technique, guiding the essence blood to merge into the flesh and blood, slowly refining it, and ultimately turning it into one's own strength.

But due to the added points, this blood qi directly merged into the scorching hot airflow, forming an even more immense power.

Leaving him somewhat caught off guard.

However, Chen Ling was not anxious. He knew that as long as he endured this period of added points, with the scorching hot airflow merging into the Qi Sea.

The rest would be easy.

At this moment, what he needed to do was to stimulate the Zhanlong Thunder Body, withstand the impact of this scorching hot airflow in his body.

Prevent the meridians from being destroyed.

Fortunately, he possessed the Zhanlong Thunder Body, with his entire body's flesh and blood not only incredibly strong but also possessing rapid integration and recovery abilities.

Thick blood qi was rapidly absorbed into the skin and flesh, causing the blood dragon inside his body to stop growing rapidly.

The intense pain in his body also eased.

After dozens of breaths.

The scorching hot airflow gradually dissipated from within Chen Ling's body.

The intense pain in Chen Ling's body also instantly dissipated.

Although the blood-colored river in the virtual fire cauldron was still impacting his flesh and blood.

However, this impact did not have much effect on him.

Instead, his entire body felt extremely hungry, crazily absorbing the surrounding blood qi.

"It seems like my body has undergone a qualitative change."

Chen Ling murmured to himself.

He could feel that every drop of blood in his body had undergone a sublimation baptism, with each drop of blood shimmering with golden light and containing immense power.

Chen Ling's gaze flickered as he stimulated his physical body and continued to absorb the river of blood essence.

At this moment, there was still at least sixty percent of the majestic medicinal power inside the cauldron.

Originally, he thought that after integrating with the astonishing blood dragon just now, he should be able to reach Rank Five.

However, it was apparent that entering Rank Five still required an even more majestic blood essence.

Within his Qi Sea, the cyclone of the thunder dragon battle body seemed to have grown stronger, and the silhouette of the green thunder dragon became even more distinct.

The speed at which he absorbed the blood essence was more than twice as fast as before. As soon as the blood essence entered his body, it was instantly refined and transformed into vast energy that flowed into his Qi Sea through his meridians, injecting it into the cyclone of the flood dragon.

As the sound of dragon roars resounded, a virtual image of a green flood dragon continued to condense around Chen Ling.

"Boom!"

The surging medicinal power continuously poured in, transforming into the power of vast blood essence.

At the same time, as the blood essence flood dragon continued to grow stronger, his body also entered a mysterious state, able to sense the existence of the faint blood essence within the blood river surrounding him.

His body's strength, sensitivity, and toughness were all undergoing a leap.

"Crack! Crack!"

As his bones crackled, the golden light shining in his flesh gradually condensed on his bones, as if changing their state.

The blood essence flood dragon became more and more solid, completely enveloping Chen Ling's body with its vast blood essence.

Chen Ling felt in his heart, I am like a dragon, and the dragon is also me!

The sound of roaring dragons echoed, lightning flashed, and the blood essence surged.

The lightning and thunder constantly emerged, making the blood essence flood dragon appear even more solid.

Chen Ling also felt that he had entered a mysterious state, as if he were a thunderous flood dragon soaring through the nine heavens.

He exuded a tremendous power.

As the blood dragon swung its claws, it seemed capable of tearing apart the stars.

Chen Ling felt that this was the ultimate power of his physical body at this moment.

Body Refining Rank Five corresponded to the Soul Formation Realm of cultivators.

The main symbol of power for a Soul Formation cultivator was the control and use of the power of their own origin within their own domain.

Similarly, Rank Five body cultivators possessed a similar power, where their powerful physical bodies could refine the essence of their bloodline.

The immense aura that Chen Ling possessed at this moment came from the bloodline of the flood dragon and the battle dragon's thunderous body.

After a full day and night, the virtual image of the green flood dragon in the virtual fire cauldron finally dissipated.

Chen Ling flew out of the cauldron and landed on the cushion.

At this moment, his body had undergone a transformation akin to rebirth.

His skin exuded a crystal-like luster, shimmering with a mysterious aura, giving off an exceptionally majestic and solid feeling.

And this was just the surface.

The flesh, blood, bones, and meridians within his body had all undergone earth-shattering changes.

Within the blood in his meridians, the originally crimson blood faintly emitted a golden glow.

It contained astonishing pressure and was accompanied by a faint sound of thunder.

His bones seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

In his Qi Sea, the cyclone of the flood dragon shone with thunderous light.

"I finally reached Rank Five!"

Feeling the immense power of the blood essence within his body, Chen Ling felt extremely delighted.

He was now a genuine Rank Five body cultivator, possessing the power to confront the early stage of Soul Formation.

Although he hadn't experienced a heavenly tribulation, there was indeed the power of bloodline origin within his body.

With just his physical body alone, he already possessed the might of a Dao Weapon.

As long as he had sufficient essence blood, even if he forcefully resisted Du Qingyun's Heaven and Earth Sword from back then, he would emerge unscathed.
