Chapter 1095 Even Elders Go Crazy
When Lu Li saw the look in the elders' eyes, he was first taken aback, and then realized that even the elders knew about his situation.

"Ahem... Li'er."

The Third Elder cleared his throat and then said, "I heard that you sparred with Jiao Jiao yesterday, and even used that forbidden power during the battle. However, everyone also discovered that your power is beneficial to the cultivation of Secret Blood Warriors, is that right?"

Seeing the intense gazes of his fellow disciples and even the elders staring at him, Lu Li knew exactly what was going on, so he could only nod reluctantly.

"Um... Third Elder, I wish to help my fellow disciples, but I am truly powerless to do so at the moment..."

Lu Li made his point clear, which made the eyes of the senior brothers and sisters present even brighter. This was mainly because Lu Li had understood from his experience last night that those high-level Secret Blood Warriors could really drain him dry.

He didn't want to experience the marrow-draining, bone-sucking sensation like that of Senior Sister Baisha a second time.

If even Senior Sister Baisha is like this, Lu Li feels that he would be drained dry if it were the elders who are also at the peak of the True Self Realm.

Most importantly, the demon within him was not cooperating at all in this matter, and strongly resisted being absorbed by the Blood Warriors.

"Um... Li'er misunderstood."

The Third Elder was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this. It is said that the older one gets, the more shrewd one becomes. He had countless experiences and was certainly not a fool. Of course, he could see that Lu Li's words were blocking their way of speaking. However, after he and the other elders present learned about this matter, they were indeed somewhat tempted.

"Li'er, don't be nervous, we didn't mean that."

At this moment, a female elder who had been standing next to the Third Elder spoke up. Although she was of a very high seniority, unlike the Third Elder and the other elders who looked like old men, she still looked very young, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face.

Clearly, male and female cultivators have different priorities. Since both can live forever, maintaining a youthful appearance is naturally easy. However, the male elders of Martial God Mountain seem to prefer to look older to reflect the status of the older generation.

The female elders are more concerned about their appearance, so they naturally won't deliberately try to make themselves look older.

Even if she looks young and is wearing the latest trendy clothes on the Divine Martial Continent, her age can be seen from her eyes alone, because they are filled with a heavy sense of age, clearly indicating that she has experienced too many vicissitudes.

"This disciple is foolish and ignorant. May I ask who this senior is?"

Lu Li asked respectfully.

"This is the Second Elder, who is in charge of the Soul Refining Tower. If Li'er wants to cultivate soul intent in the future, she will naturally have to deal with the Second Elder."

The Third Elder explained from the side.

The Second Elder nodded and continued, "Comparatively speaking, Li'er, your cultivation level is still too low. Even if the substance produced on your body is extraordinary, it is still a drop in the ocean for us. Therefore, we have no other intentions but just want to borrow some of that substance so that we can take it back for research."

Seeing the dignified appearance and earnest words of the female elder, Lu Li knew that she was not there to drain him dry, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it's just a small amount of material for research, then of course that's fine."

Lu Li said, his face slightly pale.

The other elders were overjoyed upon hearing this and crowded forward, looking at Lu Li with great enthusiasm.

"I am the Fourth Elder of Martial God Mountain, in charge of the Martial Pavilion. If Li'er needs any cultivation techniques in the future, he may come to the Martial Pavilion to choose one."

"As the Fifth Elder of Martial God Mountain, I am in charge of procurement. If Li'er needs something that Martial God Mountain does not have, you can tell me in the future, and I will keep an eye out for it when I go out."

"..."

The elders chatted amongst themselves, and to Lu Li's surprise, all the elders present were top-ranking inner elders of Martial God Mountain. According to what Senior Sister Bai Sha had said in their conversation last night, Martial God Mountain had at least 10 experts at the peak of the True Self Realm.

In other words, the elders standing in front of him were all comparable to the peak of the ninth level of the spatial realm, which made Lu Li feel a little unreal.

The main reason was that when these people stood in front of him, he couldn't sense their power at all, because they had all cultivated to the point of internalizing their divine energy. If they didn't release their aura, they would look like ordinary people from a distance.

Lu Li was also glad that these elders didn't want to drain his energy like Senior Sister Bai Sha did, otherwise he wouldn't just be drained into a dried-up body, but might be drained into dust.

Seeing the elders' enthusiasm, Lu Li dared not disrespect these important figures and quickly squeezed out a bit of his primordial power to materialize the dark matter.

"Oh? Is that so? Upon closer inspection, it indeed possesses a mysterious power."

"I sense that this item has an ominous aura, which explains why it is classified as a prohibited item."

"So that's it. It is this thing. I never thought that the thing recorded in the ancient books, besides polluting the world, would also be of great benefit to us Secret Blood Warriors."

"That's strange. This thing has certain properties that are both compatible and incompatible with my secret blood. Could it be that my secret blood was once contaminated?"

"I really need to go back and study this carefully..."

"..."

The elders gathered together, each using their great magical power to condense small bottles, and each took a little of the pitch-black substance that Lu Li had condensed, wanting to study it carefully.

From the conversation of these elders, Lu Li knew that the older generation clearly knew what was inside their bodies; they had either read about it in ancient books or heard about it.

As for being wary, there's nothing to fear. After all, it's been verified that this substance can be absorbed by the secret blood, and their cultivation is profound. For their size, this amount of dark matter is too little, and in terms of energy level, it's insignificant.

The elders were discussing among themselves in high spirits, while Lu Li took the opportunity to walk into the room and sit down in an empty seat.

The Valkyrie beside him glanced at him, noticing Lu Li's pale face, as if his body had been hollowed out, and asked, "How was last night?"

"Don't even mention it, Senior Sister Bai Sha was absolutely merciless. Her mouth was so powerful when she sucked, she really squeezed every last drop out of me."

Lu Li complained with a long face. Right now, he only considered the Valkyrie, who was also a space person, to be on his side. The other people from Martial God Mountain simply regarded him as a human medicine.

"Hmph... I see you're quite happy."

The Valkyrie scoffed, "You brought it on yourself." Lu Li, somewhat helpless, pointed to his face, "How can you tell I'm happy?"

The Valkyrie said he brought it on himself, and he couldn't really refute that, since he had recklessly used the power of the Demon God yesterday and had also made business deals with his fellow disciples.

But who could have imagined that Senior Sister Bai Sha would be so unreasonable? Once you enter her room, you really have no choice but to follow her lead.

"I gave you a piece of Secret Blood Crystal, and you eagerly delivered it to my door in the middle of the night. Who knows how you were cultivating with your senior sister last night?"

The Valkyrie said coldly, "As if everyone..."

She paused here, said no more, and turned her head away.

She just felt that Lu Li was truly shameless and unscrupulous. Listening to Lu Li's words just now, and combining them with her own experience, the methods of exchanging origins that she could think of were naturally limited.

Hearing Lu Li say things like "it's powerful when you suck it in" and "not a drop is left," she subconsciously assumed that Senior Sister Bai Sha was absorbing the dark substance in the same way she had that day. Then, thinking about how Lu Li had been pale and exhausted all night, she felt inexplicably annoyed.

"With what?"

Lu Li, however, was intrigued and couldn't help but ask.

"nothing."

The Valkyrie looked ahead. "Morning classes are about to begin."

She wanted to say that she still had some sense of propriety and had never overindulged in Lu Li's bed back then, but that matter had always been a disgrace to her, and she didn't want to mention it at all.

Moreover, just thinking about how they absorbed each other back then, even with her personality, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Li'er, you today..."

At this moment, the Third Elder went up on stage. He originally wanted to invite Lu Li to talk about his experience with the perfect body, but when he saw Lu Li's pale face, he gave up the idea. "...Just listen carefully from below."

"This disciple is eager to hear the elder's teachings."

Lu Li bowed and said that he would naturally save his energy if he could. Besides, just reading the jade slip might not be enough to understand all its true meaning. There was no harm in listening to the Third Elder explain it.

While listening to the lecture, Lu Li was also drawing out the Secret Blood Crystal. The Third Elder had long heard that Lu Li would absorb the Secret Blood Crystal to replenish his body's essence, so he did not reprimand him. After all, his eyesight could tell that Lu Li was really weak now.

And so a strange scene unfolded: the Third Elder was giving a lecture, while Lu Li was puffing away on a cigarette like a drug addict, and even the Valkyrie sitting next to Lu Li couldn't help but frown.

She subconsciously moved further away, clearly not wanting to inhale secondhand smoke, especially since she knew what the Blood Crystal was made of.

Lu Li didn't care about other people's opinions. He inhaled deeply, and the extraction of the secret blood crystal didn't stop him from listening to the lecture. On the contrary, the power of the secret blood crystal entered his body, making him more energetic and improving his listening efficiency.

By the time class ended at noon, Lu Li's body had become stronger again, having replenished the deficiencies in his body through the Secret Blood Crystal.

At the same time, Lu Li also did some mental calculations. He realized that, given the intensity of Bai Sha's cultivation of his body, he would need a whole piece of Secret Blood Crystal to fully recover afterward.

The sizes of Secret Blood Crystals (small, medium, and large) are not differentiated in the same proportions as those of Inheritance Crystals. This is because the quality and size of Secret Blood Crystals refined by different elders vary, and the small, medium, and large sizes provided by the space are just a general guideline.

In fact, the two pieces of Secret Blood Crystal in Lu Li's hands were slightly different in size, with the one that Lu Xueqing gave him being a little larger.

However, considering all factors, one piece of Secret Blood Crystal is about the size of five pieces of Secret Blood Crystal, so he made a profit last night.

As for the Secret Blood Crystal, it's roughly equivalent to three small Secret Blood Crystals. Lu Li felt that unless he was being excessively drained, he could usually make up for his deficiencies with just one small Secret Blood Crystal.

Most of the senior brothers and sisters on Martial God Mountain are at a higher level than me. They usually use Secret Blood Crystals for cultivation. Only very young children use Secret Blood Crystals for minor cultivation.

Those children weren't Lu Li's target customers either. After all, they were still in the foundational stage and didn't need to be in such a hurry to purify his dark substance. Mainly, they didn't have much money.

After finishing with Senior Sister Baisha last night, she didn't hide anything from him and told him about her specific absorption experience.

Senior Sister Bai Sha said that if one only absorbs the power that he naturally exudes, it is actually just a temporary boost like a stimulant, which can make one's blood boil and power endless.

This situation was similar to his battle with Lu Jiaojiao during the day, and also when he fought alongside the Valkyrie before, where she only absorbed his power superficially, and the two of them gained extraordinary explosive power after exchanging blows.

However, to truly achieve long-term improvement, one must absorb the purer essence from Lu Li's body, just like yesterday, by extracting his marrow and bones.

Senior Sister Bai Sha said that after absorbing Lu Li's origin, her own martial arts secret blood did not increase much in quantity, but she felt that the purity of her martial arts secret blood had increased.

This purity refers to the purity of bloodline. According to Senior Sister Bai Sha, even among the true disciples on Martial God Mountain, although they are all innate secret blood martial artists, the upper limit of their bloodline varies.

Taking the elders as an example, some elders' bloodlines have been supporting them to the peak of the True Self Realm before their potential is exhausted. This means that they have reached the perfect state of the Martial Mystic Blood for themselves, and can regenerate their original source and refine it into Mystic Blood Crystals.

However, some elders, once they reach the mid-stage of the True Self Realm, find it difficult to improve further. Even if they achieve great success in martial arts secret bloodline, the power boost from their bloodline is not very high. Of course, this low level is in comparison to those elders who have their own peak strength after achieving great success.

Therefore, it can be concluded that even among innate bloodline warriors with a continuous supply of bloodline crystals throughout their cultivation careers, the upper limit of their bloodlines will differ.

Of course, even if they reach the limit of their strength through bloodline power, they can continue to improve their realm through cultivation techniques and other methods of cultivation. However, the reason why the Martial Mystic Bloodline is considered a well-known martial arts bloodline in the Divine Martial Continent is because this bloodline provides a very high boost to combat power.

Even among warriors of the same realm, those with purer bloodlines have an advantage in physical strength and offensive power.

Therefore, the level of bloodline can be accumulated through secret blood crystals and time, but the purity of bloodline is basically determined at birth.

However, Senior Sister Bai Sha said that after absorbing Lu Li's dark origin, she felt that the purity of her bloodline had improved, which was the surprising point and a benefit that could not be obtained by exchanging secret blood crystals.

Because she discovered this, Senior Sister Bai Sha said she would come to patronize Lu Li's business again in a couple of days, but Lu Li seriously refused, saying that Senior Sister must let him take a break first.
