Chapter 3965: Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng

Enlightenment!

It all comes down to comprehension and the ability to grasp that wisp of true meaning from the unseen Dao.

After all, no matter how much one comprehends, the ultimate result is always a clear understanding of its true meaning, only then can one truly be qualified to embark on this path.

Although,

the higher one’s cultivation level,

the deeper one’s understanding of the Dao,

and the easier it is to comprehend other divine abilities and Daos,

if the difference in cultivation level isn’t too great, then comprehension comes first.

With Gu Bai joining the sect, the second was Ji Yang.

The latter’s comprehension wasn’t top-tier among the disciples, but he possessed the legacy of his previous life and had the cultivation of a peak Immortal Emperor, so it was normal for him to want to comprehend the Chaos Blood Qi Technique.

The lecture

lasted a full half month. When the lecture ended, Shen Changqing looked at the many disciples who were comprehending the Dao and didn’t interrupt them.

A month later,

all the disciples gradually awakened.

Shen Changqing said, “I have already passed on the key to the Chaotic Blood Qi Technique to you all, but how far you can ultimately cultivate it depends on your individual fortune and destiny.

If there is nothing else, you may all disperse.”

“Disciples take their leave!”

The crowd bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

This lecture had been immensely beneficial to them.

In particular, the Chaotic Blood Qi Technique could directly enhance their strength.

Now that they had obtained this technique, they naturally wanted to return and carefully study and consolidate it.

Shen Changqing picked up his teacup and sipped, his expression remaining calm.

Passing on the Chaotic Blood Qi Technique gave his disciples another means to improve their strength, but how much it would manifest was uncertain. After all, the effectiveness of the Chaotic Blood Qi Technique was closely related to the cultivator’s own physical cultivation. A

strong physical body

meant a powerful Chaotic Blood Qi Technique,

and vice versa.

Although Shen Changqing had passed on many techniques, such as the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, and his disciples had all dabbled in body refinement, very few had truly achieved any success.

Take Gu Bai, for example. His physical body is currently only at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm. He still has a long way to go before truly reaching the Immortal Emperor realm.

Even so, Gu Bai’s physical cultivation is among the best of all the disciples.

After all, physical cultivation is difficult, and achieving anything is even more challenging.

…

A month later.

Ling Xuzi paid a visit.

Shen Changqing invited him into his Immortal Abode. “A top-tier ninth-order Immortal Root! The Seven Profound Dao Sect truly has an extraordinary foundation!”

Upon seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Ling Xuzi’s expression immediately changed to surprise.

A ninth-order Immortal Root!

Such existences are actually quite rare even within the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

After all, Immortal Roots are difficult to cultivate; nurturing one is no easy feat.

Therefore, upon seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Ling Xuzi couldn’t help but take a second look.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

A ninth-order Immortal Root is indeed good, but that’s all.

Although the Taiyi Immortal Sect has few Immortal Roots, it does possess ancient Immortal Roots that surpass the ninth order, comparable to those of a Half-Saint or even a Saint.

In comparison, the ancient Bodhi tree before him paled in comparison to such a being.

Shen Changqing casually poured tea, his expression indifferent: “Fellow Daoist, what brings you to the Seven Profound Dao Sect today?”

“I dare not presume to offer guidance. After the battle in the Profound Mystery Realm last time, I truthfully reported to the sect, and the sect leader was greatly pleased. Therefore, he presented a Rank 7 Half-Saint Heavenly Treasure as a token of his gratitude.” Ling Xuzi went straight to the point. As he spoke, he took out a brocade box and placed it on the stone table. With a gentle push, the box reached Shen Changqing.

The latter opened the box, and inside lay a ginseng-shaped Heavenly Treasure, its roots coiled like dragons, brimming with vital energy and flowing with the rhythm of the Dao.

“What a fine Heavenly Treasure! Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Heavenly Treasure in the box.

Although he had never seen such rare and precious materials before, the life essence contained within them alone was enough to demonstrate that this item was extraordinary.

Moreover,

it was a seventh-grade Half-Saint!

This level was already considered top-tier.

Ling Xuzi stroked his beard and smiled, “It’s best if you’re satisfied, fellow Daoist. This is the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng. It’s said that it’s tainted with the blood of top-tier Chaos Beasts and only formed after hundreds of millions of years.

If it has nine apertures, it’s a ninth-grade Half-Saint.

If it has seven apertures, it’s a seventh-grade Half-Saint.

The Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng has considerable effects. If one’s own essence and blood are damaged, consuming this ginseng can replenish it. Furthermore, this ginseng has another effect: enhancing a cultivator’s qi and blood to temper their physique. In the battle of the Xuanwei Realm, I observed that your physical body was incredibly strong, and your qi and blood were astonishing, comparable to a Chaos Beast. With this Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng, it will surely be like adding wings to a tiger, potentially allowing your strength to advance even further.”

“You’re very kind, fellow Daoist!”

Shen Changqing nodded slightly. He had to admit that this Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng was indeed what he needed.

Seeing Shen Changqing’s satisfaction, Ling Xuzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The sect had bestowed three Rank 7 Semi-Saint Heavenly Treasures upon him. While keeping two for himself was unlikely to leak out, there was still a chance of trouble.

Now that the other party was satisfied, that was for the best.

Of course,

Ling Xuzi had considered keeping all three.

After all, Rank 7 Semi-Saint Heavenly Treasures were extremely rare and incredibly tempting to ordinary Semi-Saints.

But after thinking it over,

Ling Xuzi realized

he didn’t have that many. Keeping all three would be too blatant. Besides, he had indeed survived the battle in the Xuanwei Realm thanks to the other party.

Ling Xuzi knew he wasn’t heartless, so he decided to keep two and leave the most suitable Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng for the other party.

Seeing that Shen Changqing had accepted the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng, Ling Xuzi then said, “The Taihua Holy Land has betrayed us this time, and the sect leader is furious and wants to annihilate the Taihua Holy Land.

I wonder if you have any thoughts on this matter?”

“I gained some insights from the battle in the Xuanwei Realm. I intend to go into seclusion for a while to see if I can make further progress.”

” I don’t have the energy to get involved in the affairs of the Taihua Holy Land for the time being.

Besides, with your sect’s strength, dealing with the Taihua Holy Land should be a piece of cake.”

Shen Changqing politely declined.

After all, this was Ling Xuzi’s private invitation, not a requirement of the Taiyi Dao Order, so he naturally refused.

The Taihua Holy Land’s resources were limited.

If the Seven Profound Dao Sects could monopolize it, that would be fine.

But with the Taiyi Immortal Sect added, how could the Seven Profound Dao Sects possibly get the lion’s share? Since that was the case,

Shen Changqing naturally didn’t want to get too involved.

Seeing the other party’s refusal, Ling Xuzi didn’t suspect anything.

Half a day later,

Ling Xuzi took his leave.

Shen Changqing watched the other party’s departing figure, his expression becoming indifferent again. Finally, he also went into seclusion to cultivate.

…

Inside the first level of space.

The brocade box containing the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng was opened, and a rich life essence surged out. Shen Changqing could feel his own blood and qi boiling with just one breath.

“Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng!”

Shen Changqing had already learned about the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng from the Xingdao Alliance, and what he said matched Ling Xuzi’s account.

Clearly, it was indeed a top-tier body-refining elixir. “

I just wonder how much this Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng will increase my strength!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes were subtle.

Actually, the best way to process the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng was to refine it into a corresponding pill.

If directly consuming rare and precious herbs only allowed them to reach their full potential, then refining them into pills offered the chance to achieve 100%, or even 150%, of their effectiveness.

It’s important to understand

that pill refining

is never just about using a single rare and precious herb.

Multiple herbs complement each other, maximizing their effects to a level beyond their limits.

This is why

most cultivators choose to refine rare and precious herbs into pills rather than directly consuming them—

because the former maximizes their effectiveness. However—

to refine a rare treasure like the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng into a pill, one would need at least a top-tier eighth-order Grandmaster of Alchemy to assist.

Furthermore,

the other required ingredients for a pill formula that utilizes the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng would also be extremely rare.

Rare treasures are hard to find,

especially those at the semi-saint level.

The Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng, reaching the seventh rank of semi-saint, is incredibly rare.

Finding even one is considered good; to gather enough for a whole batch of pills would take an unknown amount of time.

Shen Changqing didn’t want to wait,

nor was there any need to.

Gathering all the necessary ingredients was crucial.

Obtaining the assistance of a top-tier eighth-order Grandmaster of Alchemy was another crucial factor. Therefore,

Shen Changqing decided to avoid the hassle and directly consume the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng to enhance his strength.

However—

he didn’t rashly consume this seventh-rank semi-saint treasure. Instead, he broke off a wisp of the ginseng’s whiskers and swallowed it.

“Boom!”

The instant the ginseng root entered his stomach, a terrifying surge of life essence erupted, like a volcanic eruption or a raging ocean, its immense power completely engulfing his body.

At that moment, Shen Changqing focused his mind and held his breath ,

suppressing this turbulent power with all his might. He then drew upon the malevolent energy of heaven and earth, simultaneously mobilizing his own blood and qi to transform into a world-destroying millstone, slowly crushing and suppressing the life essence within the ginseng root.

This process was extremely slow.

As the life essence was gradually crushed, pure energy seeped into his blood and qi channels.

Benefiting from this, Shen Changqing could clearly feel his physical body and blood being tempered little by little, advancing towards a higher level. After

an unknown period of time, the life essence within the ginseng root was finally completely refined.

Shen Changqing opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.

“What a magnificent Seven-Aperture Blood Ginseng! Its effects are truly astonishing. The energy contained in a single wisp of ginseng root is even comparable to a Grade Three Chaos Saint Bone Pill!” “

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing looked at the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng in the brocade box, feeling as if he had found a priceless treasure.

If he could completely refine it, his strength would definitely be able to advance further. Even if he couldn’t break through to the fourth level of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, he wouldn’t be too far off.”
