Chapter 3956: Nine Tribulations Essence Blood

After refining the Taiyi Dao Token,

Shen Changqing tossed it into his storage ring and ignored it, focusing his attention on the three Rank 9 Innate Emperor Weapons.

Each of the three Rank 9 Innate Emperor Weapons

had a different function.

One was the Innate Lotus Platform, a defensive treasure; another was

the God-Slaying Spear, an offensive treasure; and

the third was the Sky-Crossing Boat, a speed treasure. Shen Changqing naturally refined all three. The Innate Lotus Platform, needless to say, was a defensive treasure. With sufficient power, even a half-saint below the Ninth Tribulation would find it difficult to break through its defenses. Even with Shen Changqing’s current cultivation level, he couldn’t unleash the full power of the Innate Lotus Platform, but it was still unparalleled in defense. Up to now, excluding the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell, Shen Changqing’s strongest defensive treasure was the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Diagram. However, the latter was only a Rank 4 Innate Emperor Weapon, far inferior to the Innate Lotus Platform. Having the Innate Lotus Platform, Shen Changqing naturally looked down on the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Diagram. However, he still needed to consider who to bestow such innate imperial weapons upon. Next were the God-Slaying Spear and the Sky-Crossing Boat. Although the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell was a supreme treasure combining defense and offense, the problem was that such magical treasures couldn’t be easily revealed; otherwise, even a saint would be tempted. Even though Shen Changqing now possessed the Dao Venerable Talisman, he wasn’t afraid of a saint. However, Dao Venerable Talismans were ultimately one-time use; once used, they were gone. Such trump cards could only exert their maximum effect before being used. Once used, they ceased to be trump cards. Therefore, the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell couldn’t be used casually. Now, with the innate lotus platform and the God-Slaying Spear, Shen Changqing’s strength would greatly increase. The remaining Sky-Crossing Boat was an even greater life-saving treasure. If he couldn’t win, at least he could escape. A ninth-grade innate imperial weapon, if fully activated, could even overtake a top-tier half-saint. It could be said that the three supreme treasures bestowed by Jiang Daoxuan completely compensated for all his shortcomings. Shen Changqing was naturally satisfied with this. … In the following days, Shen Changqing continued his seclusion as always, cultivating the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture. However, without the aid of elixirs, his progress was naturally slow. Therefore, Shen Changqing couldn’t help but think of the Jiang family, and then took out the Jiang family’s Dao Token, sending out a message. A moment later, the Jiang family’s Dao Token vibrated. Shen Changqing scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression immediately brightened. “Nine Tribulations Half-Saint Realm Chaotic Divine Elephant Essence Blood!” “The Jiang family’s foundation is indeed formidable—” He hadn’t expected the Jiang family to actually possess a Half-Saint Realm Chaotic Divine Elephant Essence Blood, and one at the Nine Tribulations level at that. If he could obtain this Chaotic Divine Elephant Essence Blood, Shen Changqing was confident he could advance the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture to the next level. At that time, let alone the second level , even breaking through to the third level would probably be no problem. One day later, Jiang Daoxuan returned to the Seven Profound Dao Sect. But this time, he didn’t come in his true form, but rather as an avatar. “The Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood that Fellow Daoist Shen needs is right here. It’s just a pity that this Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood has weakened considerably over the years. However, with Fellow Daoist Shen’s current cultivation level, it should be sufficient.” Jiang Daoxuan casually tossed out a gourd, which Shen Changqing caught. His divine sense entered the gourd, and he immediately felt a domineering and ancient aura shaking his divine soul and sea of consciousness. Shen Changqing felt his own blood, qi, and divine soul tremble. At the same time, he seemed to see a majestic phantom, its body comparable to a galaxy, emerge from his sea of consciousness. “A Nine Tribulations Half-Saint!” Shen Changqing felt this primordial and ancient aura and couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Just by observing the aura of the essence blood, he could understand how powerful this Chaos Divine Elephant was in its lifetime. “Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Jiang. But I wonder what the price is for this Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood?” “Haha, it’s just a mere Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood, nothing to mention. Speaking of which, I encountered a Chaos Divine Elephant causing trouble in ancient times and killed it without a second thought. Later, I collected its essence blood and left it aside. If it weren’t for your message, I wouldn’t have remembered it. It’s a pity that Half-Saint level Chaos Divine Elephants are rare; even the Jiang family’s treasury doesn’t have any extra essence blood. Otherwise, I could have given you more.” Jiang Daoxuan smiled faintly, completely disregarding the Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood. To other cultivators, the essence blood of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint level Chaos Divine Elephant was precious. But to an ancient Dao Venerable, it was insignificant. A Nine Tribulation Half-Saint was nothing more than an ant to him. How could Jiang Daoxuan care about the essence blood of such an ant? If he could establish a good relationship with the other party through this, it would be a good thing in his opinion. Seeing Jiang Daoxuan’s attitude, Shen Changqing’s face showed gratitude: “Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Jiang!” ” It’s alright, but this Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood is domineering. Although it has the effect of tempering the body, with your current cultivation level, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to use it.” Jiang Daoxuan reminded him. In his opinion, Shen Changqing’s blood and qi were abundant, obviously indicating that his physical body had reached a remarkable level. The other party wanted the Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood, most likely to temper his body. After all, the bodies of Chaos beasts are powerful, and the greatest use of the essence blood of such beings is to temper the cultivator’s body and strengthen his physique. Therefore, Jiang Daoxuan naturally had to give a serious reminder. Even if that ancestor was present, the other party was currently seriously injured and mostly asleep, so he might not be able to detect this. Shen Changqing smiled faintly: “Fellow Daoist Jiang, rest assured, I only need this Chaos Divine Elephant’s essence blood for alchemy. It just so happens that the body-refining technique I cultivate requires a pill called the Chaos Sacred Bone Pill as an aid.”

The main ingredient of the Chaos Saint Bone Pill is the essence blood of this Chaos Divine Elephant.

While ordinary Chaos Divine Elephants are common, those at the semi-saint level are extremely rare.

To date, I have only found a few semi-saint level Chaos Divine Elephants. This time, I have received the Chaos Divine Elephant essence blood from you, fellow Daoist, which should be sufficient for my needs. “

I see…”

Jiang Daoxuan nodded slightly, understanding Shen Changqing’s intention.

Seeing that the other party was prepared, he didn’t say anything more, simply uttering a sentence before his figure completely dissipated.

Seeing the avatar depart, Shen Changqing’s gaze returned to the gourd in his hand.

This gourd appeared ordinary, but it was actually a Primordial Emperor Weapon.

However

, in comparison, its grade was naturally incomparable to a supreme treasure like the Primordial Lotus Platform.

If a comparison were made, it would be at most a second or third grade.

For a Dao Venerable Realm expert, a second or third grade Primordial Emperor Weapon was insignificant.

But for other cultivators, any Primordial Emperor Weapon was precious.

“This time, I’ve incurred another favor!” Shen Changqing shook his head slightly. There was

nothing

he could do about owing favors. He didn’t have much to offer that

person right now that would tempt them. The gift of a gourd of Chaos Divine Elephant essence blood was merely a way to establish a good relationship; whether there would be a real return was of little concern to the other party.

It was like Shen Changqing himself, casually leaving some opportunities in the world of Yanfu as a way to establish good relationships.

A return would be best, but no return was insignificant.

Now,

Jiang Daoxuan held the same view.

With this thought in mind, Shen Changqing began to refine the gourd, bringing it completely under his control. Refining

a third-grade innate imperial weapon was a piece of

cake for him .

Once the gourd was completely refined, Shen Changqing could truly see the power of the essence blood contained within it. This essence blood, though not abundant, gave the impression of a vast ocean.

The power contained in each drop was enough to crush galaxies.

Cultivators below the Half-Saint level, let alone bearing such essence blood, might not even be able to withstand the residual aura within it.

As

Jiang Daoxuan said,

this essence blood had existed for too long, and its power had diminished.

In truth, it was only roughly at the seventh or eighth tribulation level.

Even so, essence blood of this level was extraordinary.

“With this Chaos Divine Elephant essence blood, it would be more than enough to refine a seventh or eighth-grade Chaos Saint Bone Pill.

However… while we have the main ingredient, collecting all the other auxiliary ingredients won’t be easy.” “

Shen Changqing pondered.

A seventh-grade semi-saint pill requires more than just the main ingredient; the auxiliary ingredients are also extraordinary. Each of those top-tier natural treasures is extremely rare.

Even with the current resources of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, gathering enough for a single batch of Chaos Saint Bone Pills of this grade would be difficult. Even if they could gather them, how to refine them would be another problem.

To refine a seventh-grade Chaos Saint Bone Pill, one would need at least an eighth-rank, seventh-grade alchemy grandmaster. Even an eighth-rank, seventh-grade alchemy grandmaster might not be able to succeed. Failure would be a huge loss. To guarantee success, only an eighth-rank or even ninth-rank alchemy grandmaster could do it. But the problem is, let alone eighth or ninth-rank, even an eighth-rank, seventh-grade alchemy grandmaster is hard to find. Alchemy grandmasters of this level are all honored guests of top-tier forces.” Shen Changqing didn’t know if the Jiang family possessed such a resource. Even if they did, he couldn’t very well ask. Owing a favor was one thing, but owing it indefinitely was inappropriate. And there was something even more crucial: even if the Chaos Saint Bone Pills were successfully refined, Shen Changqing’s current physical cultivation level might not be sufficient to consume or refine them. If he couldn’t use them, then refining them was meaningless. After all, any cultivation resource is only truly useful if it can be converted; everything else is illusory. “Cultivation resources that can’t be used are as good as none. Seventh-grade Chaos Saint Bone Pills are too far off; for now, refining a batch of third-grade Chaos Saint Bone Pills will suffice. Once I break through to the third level of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, I’ll think of other methods!” Shen Changqing immediately made his decision. Thinking too much was useless; the most urgent task was to improve his strength. He could simply ignore some resources and deal with the rest later.
