Practice begins with immortality

"It's like a pillow is given to you when you're sleepy." Wang Bai couldn't help but sigh. He had gone through untold hardships in Luoxia Mountains but still failed to find the heart of the foundation tree, but now he could get it easily in this world. It was really sad.

"With this tree heart, I can successfully cultivate the secret method of withering and flourishing spirit refining!" Previously, due to the lack of a foundation tree heart, Wang Bai could only rely on time to slowly hone his skills. But with only a little over a year, he still couldn't truly reach the threshold of entry. However, now that he has the tree heart, he believes that he will be able to cultivate this secret method soon.

Wang Bai then continued searching for other treasures in the treasury. Most of the items in the treasury came from foundation-building monsters, such as bones, claws, and fangs. Although these were precious materials, Wang Bai did not have a weapon refining inheritance, so these items were of limited use to him.

"Do you just want these two things? Brother Wang, won't you choose another one?" Hun Qiankun asked doubtfully.

Wang Bai thought for a moment and replied, "Soul Clan Master, the remaining items are of little use to me. I wonder if you can exchange the remaining item for a beast blood essence that can break through to the level of a general? I am willing to exchange it for something related to the alien."

"That's not necessary. I promised to give you three treasures, and I will never break my promise. I just don't know what kind of beast blood essence Brother Wang wants."

"What kind of beast blood origin can the Soul Clan Master provide?"

"Most of our clan uses the essence blood of the Fallen Soul Beast, while a smaller number use the more powerful Black Water Ape. Brother Wang should understand that the most important thing when refining beast blood essence is to avoid conflicts with other beasts. While the Fallen Soul Beast's essence blood is slightly weaker than the Black Water Ape's, it possesses a unique attribute and is highly inclusive. It can be combined with essence blood of any zodiac sign. I refine the essence blood of the Fallen Soul Beast," Hun Qiankun explained in detail, a serious look on his face. However, when he mentioned the Black Water Ape, a hint of unconcealed sadness flickered in his eyes. It turned out that his son, Hun Yuanjue, had refined the essence blood of the Black Water Ape. Although Hun Yuanjue had deliberately chosen to refine the essence blood of a metallic beast, which had no conflict with the water element, when breaking through to the King realm, the incompatibility between the two ultimately led to his breakthrough failure, a reversal of his Qi and blood, and ultimately his untimely death. Thinking of this, Hun Qiankun couldn't help but feel a surge of grief in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh, and continued to explain the key points to Wang Bai.

"Then please, Soul Clan Master, give me the blood essence of a general-level Soul-Falling Beast." Wang Bai didn't dwell on the strength of the Soul-Falling Beast and directly asked Hun Qiankun for the blood essence. To him, the strength of the Soul-Falling Beast wasn't important; the key lay in its stability and controllability. As long as it could function reliably, that was enough.

Afterwards, Wang Bai said goodbye to Hun Qiankun and followed his instructions to the lodgings Hun Qiankun had prepared for him. About half an hour later, a guard arrived with a jade bottle containing dark red blood essence. As Wang Bai had requested, this was the essence of the Soul-Falling Beast.

During his conversation with Sun Gu, Wang Bai had already gained some understanding of the Soul-Falling Beast. This beast resembled an ape, but had a single eye. Most were in the Qi Refining stage, while a few who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage possessed a special ability: they could emit a white light from their single eye that could shock the soul.

Wang Bai thought to himself, "All I have to do now is swallow this drop of blood essence and then practice the Beast Blood Body Refining Technique to refine it." He then pulled out the manual of cultivation techniques given to him by Hun Qiankun. He flipped through it casually and found that the basic principles of this manual were not much different from those he had previously obtained through soul searching. However, there were some differences in the details.

In reality, these tribes that have established a presence on the land typically possess a stable supply of their own essence and blood. Therefore, after years of practice and reflection, they have refined their techniques to better suit the essence and blood they refine. In this process, they have also incorporated key elements to further refine the essence and blood. This allows tribal members to more smoothly absorb and utilize the power within their essence and blood during cultivation.

Then Wang Bai swallowed the essence and blood directly and practiced his skills to refine it.
