I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"Holy Blood?"

Jiang He's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is it the essence blood of a Saint Realm expert?"

Wang Wu chuckled and said, "There might not even be a Saint Realm expert in the entire Eastern Region of Kunlun Realm. Where would you get Saint Realm essence blood? The drop of Saint Blood that Shen Caishen obtained should be the essence blood of a Half-Saint."

"Didn't our ancestors produce many powerful figures?"

Jiang He said, "Let alone the essence blood of a Saint Realm expert, it would be normal to leave behind even a few drops of the essence blood of a Great Saint, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes shone even brighter, and he asked, "Seniors, you were the first to enter Tianmen Pass. Were there any treasures inside back then? Also, only half of the West District has been unsealed. Are there any other treasures hidden in the remaining half?"

"If we forcefully break through the barrier and go in to loot everything... wouldn't we be rich?"

"Forehead……"

Wang Wu was both amused and exasperated, saying, "How could the restrictions of Tianmen Pass be broken so easily? Last time, the Heavenly Saint Half-Saint and the Crimson Blood Pavilion Master were able to break in because the restrictions in the West District had automatically broken a corner. Qin Jiuzhou and I obtained some treasures and deliberately lured them in."

"Here's what I'll do: I'll contact Shen Caishen for you and see if he's willing to sell his holy blood."

Shen Wanyun, the God of Wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty, is a master at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Holy blood was also of paramount importance to him.

This thing, like "demon beast blood essence," is the essence of a semi-saint's life. It contains enormous energy and even fragments of a semi-saint's insights. If one can refine it, one's cultivation will surely be greatly enhanced.

Jiang He had no hope of acquiring the Holy Blood.

Instead, she glanced at Wang Wu a few more times...

Wang Wu is a semi-saint.

If he could extract a few drops of "holy blood"...

amount……

Wang Wu could easily understand Jiang He's thoughts, and he was speechless... What was this guy thinking, actually wanting his "holy blood"?
After contacting Shen Caishen, he said, "Shen Caishen's drop of holy blood has not yet been refined, but he will be here soon... As for me, don't even think about it. Refining holy blood is detrimental to oneself. I have only recently entered the semi-saint realm and have just stabilized my realm. Moreover, once Qin Jiuzhou comes out of seclusion, he will attack the Heavenly Saint Sect. During this period, I need to conserve my energy."

"What are you saying, Senior Wang Wu?"

Jiang He said solemnly, "How could I possibly make a move on you, senior? If I did, would I still be a human being?"

Shen Caishen arrived quickly.

He was dressed in a designer suit, his hands were covered with storage rings, and he wore a limited edition diamond-encrusted watch on each wrist, exuding an air of wealth!

"Senior, you were looking for me?"

Shen Caishen was relatively reserved when facing Wang Wu.

But when he saw Jiang He and learned that Jiang He wanted to buy "Holy Blood", he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Jiang He should know what Holy Blood means to a martial artist like me who is at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm... It means that with this drop of Holy Blood, I can break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm."

"Currently, there are nine people at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in our Great Xia, and they are all working hard to become the sixth person in the Fish-Dragon Realm of Great Xia."

The Great Xia Dynasty currently has two semi-saints: Wang Wu and Gao Zhankui.

Strictly speaking, neither of these two people lived in this era. They were martial artists from the late Qing Dynasty who, through a fortuitous encounter, entered a secret grotto and achieved their current accomplishments.

of course.

To be able to become a renowned martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty, an era marked by a depletion of spiritual energy, a decline in martial arts, and the prevalence of foreign cannons and firearms, speaks volumes about his talent.

In addition, there are Qin Jiuzhou, Commander Ye, and Luo Yuanzhou.

These five are the strongest in the Great Xia Dynasty. Whoever can break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm will become the sixth Fish-Dragon Realm expert in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Jiang He said, "I can understand that. As the saying goes, even if a deal falls through, we can still be friendly. Actually, I just wanted to try my luck by asking Senior Wang Wu to call Senior Shen over."

Shen Wanyun laughed and said, "Then you've really hit the jackpot."

"Oh?"

Jiang He was taken aback.

Shen Wanyun said, "Actually, even if you hadn't come looking for me, I would have come looking for you... To be honest, the power contained within the Holy Blood is too immense. It would be very difficult and risky for me to refine even a single drop of the Holy Blood."

"But I heard...you have the Heavenly Wind Water Pearl?"

He looked at the river and said, "Although I am not a water-type extraordinary awakener, the true meaning of the martial arts I cultivate is the water intent... To break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, I need to cultivate the water intent to perfection, and go a step further to comprehend the way of water and cultivate the way of water. For me, the Heavenly Wind Water Pearl may be more suitable than the Holy Blood."

Jiang He's eyes lit up: "I do have Heavenly Wind Water Pearls. I wonder how many Senior Shen would like?"

The Heavenly Wind Water Pearl greatly enhances one's own strength.

A single drop can enhance the physical strength of 100,000 jin (approximately 50,00

However, this thing can only enhance physical strength; the enhancement of the physical body is a side effect of the strength increase... He urgently needs to strengthen his physical body so that its endurance can keep up with his own explosive limits.

"The Heavenly Wind Water Pearl is a treasure born on the banks of the Weak Water River... but the Holy Blood is no less precious."

Shen Wanyun boasted about the value of the Holy Blood, then said, "Brother Jianghe, since you want the Holy Blood, then you name your price."

Jiang He chuckled and said, "As expected of the God of Wealth of Great Xia, you really know how to do business... Senior Shen, let's not beat around the bush, just tell me a number."

Shen Wanyun held up one finger.

Jiang He: "Understood."

He wanted to take an empty spring water bottle from his storage ring, but found that he had run out of bottles. So he found a bottle at Wang Wu's house, took out a gourd, poured out a bottle of Heavenly Wind Water Pearls, and handed it to Shen Wanyun.

"........."

Shen Wanyun opened his mouth, looking at the emerald green liquid in his hand and feeling the special "water essence" contained within it, and said, "No... I meant 100 drops, why did you give me a whole bottle?"

Jiang He: "I thought you meant one bottle. It's okay... 100 drops aren't enough for you to break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm. Consider the extras a gift from me."

Hey!
This is a treasure called Tianfeng Water Pearl.

Even obtaining a single drop is a matter of chance.

Where can you calculate the price by the bottle?

Shen Wanyun accepted the Heavenly Wind Water Pearl, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang He, and said, "I will remember this favor... but I can't take advantage of you for nothing. You just said that you want to use the power of the Holy Blood to strengthen your physical body?"

He took off the storage rings on his hands one by one, rummaged through this one and searched for that one, and finally found a clod of dirt in an inconspicuous storage ring.

As soon as the clod of earth was taken out, a yellowish-brown halo filled the surrounding area.

A series of earth-elemental Daoist auras emanated from it.

"This is……"

Wang Wu glanced at it and said, "The essence of yellow earth?"

Shen Wanyun nodded and said, "This piece of yellow earth essence was found in the lair of a Celestial Realm Great Demon I killed in Kunlun Ruins last year... I think it should be of some help to you, Jiang He."

The essence of loess?

I've heard of Jianghe.

This is one of the five elements, belonging to the earth element. Like the black water crystal essence of the water element, it is a treasure, and its value far exceeds that of a drop of holy blood.

Jiang He said, "This is too precious. One bottle of Heavenly Wind Water Pearls is not enough... Senior Shen, let me pour you another bottle of Heavenly Wind Water Pearls."

In short.

Both parties were happy with this deal.

Shen Wanyun cultivates the "Water Realm," so the essence of loess is of little use to him. Even if he sells it, he might not be able to get the resources he needs... At least for the Heavenly Wind Water Pearl, there is no other source besides rivers and lakes.

And rivers.

He has quite a few Heavenly Wind Water Pearls.

Two mineral water bottles were nothing to him.

After obtaining the Holy Blood and the Essence of Yellow Earth, Wang Wu instructed, "Jiang He, the power contained within the Holy Blood is too great for you. Although your physical body is strong, you must be careful when refining it and avoid injuring yourself."

Jiang He did not return to his dormitory.

Instead, he went directly to the cultivation chamber under the cover of night.

After paying the merits and entering the secret chamber, Jiang He retrieved the drop of "holy blood".

This drop of holy blood was sealed inside a piece of transparent crystal, crystal clear and possessing a captivating beauty.

Jiang He picked up the crystal, examined it for a few moments, and then gently squeezed it with his fingers.

Snapped!
The crystal shattered. A drop of bright red "holy blood" rolled out.

Jiang He opened his palm and caught the "holy blood." He found that this thing was quite different from ordinary blood. It felt like a drop of mercury rolling in his palm, and a huge aura of power emanated from it, filling the entire secret room with a faint holy might.

"Wow, it's so heavy!"

Feeling the weight of that drop of "holy blood," Jiang He was secretly amazed.

A drop of blood.

It probably weighs hundreds of thousands of kilograms!
of course.

This "weight" is not an actual weight, but rather a kind of oppression that the Holy Blood exerts on the rivers due to its overwhelming power.

He opened his mouth and tilted his head back.

Goo!
He swallowed the holy blood directly.

In an instant, a scalding sensation came from inside my mouth, as if I had swallowed a mouthful of lava!
As the holy blood was swallowed.

That scalding sensation exploded within me instantly.

boom!
Jiang He vaguely heard the sound of an explosion, followed by an extremely terrifying power that surged through his body.

puff!

Jiang He felt as if his internal organs, flesh, and fascia had been torn apart in an instant.

Blood spurted from his body.

His entire body was covered in blood.

"It's over."

"I'm gone!"

Such a thought flashed through Jiang He's mind, and then everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

"Ding!"

"Refine the Holy Blood, Strength +5 Dragon".

"Ding!"

"Refining the Sacred Source increases strength by 125000 kg."

"Ding!"

"........."

System notifications kept coming in, and the power of the Holy Source was fully activated. Under the influence of the "system," it continuously repaired Jiang He's injuries, while the power of that drop of Holy Blood kept erupting, destroying Jiang He's body.

His internal organs, fascia, bones, and flesh kept breaking and healing, only to break and heal again.

This went on and on, and after an unknown period of time, it finally stopped.

The river lay on the ground.

The newly grown flesh and skin were incredibly white and tender. The pain on his face gradually turned into comfort, and a smile even appeared on his lips.

He slept soundly until he woke up the next day.

The first thing I do when I wake up is to check my body.

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 20 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

[Strength: 2150 Dragon Power]

"My physical strength has increased by a full 150 Dragon Force!"

"A single drop of holy blood possesses such immense power?"

Jiang He was initially puzzled, but quickly realized what was going on...

Holy blood damages the physical body, but the Holy Source will definitely be activated. In addition, the effect of "Frost Tempering" continues, so it is reasonable that the dragon's strength increased by 150 in one night.

He clenched his fist.

I felt my whole body was filled with power.

The skin looks fair and tender, but it is actually incredibly hard.

Jiang He took out a low-grade Dao artifact battle sword, circulated his qi and blood, and used the power of 2150 dragon force to stab his wrist.

No pain.

There was no blood.

There wasn't even a red mark.

"2150 Dragon Power is roughly the strongest combat power of most peak Celestial Realm cultivators... which means that even if I stand here and don't move, and let Uncle Liu and Uncle Chen attack me, they will have a hard time hurting me."

Rivers and streams evoke the "law of force".

He slashed again.

It hurts a little.

And there was a red mark on my wrist.

"My current physical strength is 2150 dragon power, and the Law of Force is at 8% amplitude... It's almost 4000 dragon power, and it still can't break through my defense."

boom!
A surge of Qi and blood.

The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique is burning.

Jiang He slashed down, finally cutting through the wrist, but the blade stopped just as it was about to cut through the flesh and touch the bone.

"My current physical defense is such that only a full-force attack from a mid-to-late stage Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert would have a chance to break through it... But bones are harder than flesh and blood, so I estimate I can withstand an attack from a peak Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert."

"This is not entirely due to that drop of holy blood; the holy source should also play a role."

"If I refine the essence of yellow earth, my physical body should be strengthened by a lot... At that time, I might be able to withstand the attacks of the Fish-Dragon Realm. Even if my strength increases a bit, I can easily withstand it."

With a flick of his wrist, he took out the "essence of yellow earth".

This piece of loess is as big as an adult's fist.

Eat it in one bite...

I definitely couldn't eat it.

Jiang He put it to his lips and tried to bite it twice, but he couldn't bite it at all. He could only frown, put on his clothes, and leave the training room.

"How exactly should we refine the essence of the yellow earth?"

Jiang He lowered his head in thought and then found Wang Wu.

Wang Wu said, "That's simple. The essence of yellow earth is a supreme treasure of the earth element. Anyone who is an earth elemental awakener or cultivates the earth elemental realm can release their power and martial arts essence to refine the essence of yellow earth."

"........."

Jiang He said speechlessly, "If I had that ability, I would have refined it long ago."

"Right."

Wang Wu realized what was happening and asked, "So how do you usually refine those rare and precious materials?"

Jiang He: "Just eat it."

Wang Wu's pupils dilated in shock. He exclaimed, "You eat everything? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to digest it?"

Jiang He patted his belly smugly and said, "People's constitutions are different. My stomach is made of iron, and my digestive ability... um?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he realized what was happening, his face lighting up with joy, and exclaimed, "I have an idea!"

Wang Wu looked at Jiang He in confusion, only to see Jiang He flip his hand and take out a mid-grade holy weapon longsword, then stab it into his own stomach.
