Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

After an unknown amount of time, the intense energy fluctuations and beast roars outside Mofeng City gradually subsided, turning into silence.

Moments later, news spread throughout Mofeng City that several Foundation Establishment cultivators had joined forces to kill the second-tier Crimson Nether Lion and wipe out the surrounding demon beast army.

The size of the demonic beast army outside Mofeng City has now decreased, which greatly exhilarates everyone.

However, in contrast, many cultivators perished outside Mofeng City. Countless people were affected by the sudden appearance of the Crimson Nether Lion, causing some of their relatives and friends to be heartbroken.

Fortunately, Lin Zuibai was unharmed in this incident, only suffering some injuries, and now needs to go home to recuperate.

Fortunately, he collected a lot of monster corpses, which he could exchange for some rare and precious materials that would benefit his offspring, so it wasn't a complete loss.

After the sworn friends had gathered for a while, Xu Yun took his leave and returned to his cave dwelling.

"This time we really gained a lot."

Xu Yunduan sat on the futon and murmured to himself. After returning to Mofeng City, he took the monster corpses he had collected outside the city to exchange for battle merits, and reaped a rich reward.

In addition, he also preserved the remains of a first-grade high-quality Bloodflame Beast in excellent condition, with its essence blood still extremely pure, which even attracted some people to discuss with Xu Yun whether it could be sold.

Xu Yun naturally declined all offers. The corpse of this first-tier high-grade Bloodflame Beast was of great use to him, so how could he sell it?

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately took out the Bloodflame Beast's corpse and began to form hand seals to extract its essence blood.

Buzz!

In an instant, the skin on the Bloodflame Beast's corpse cracked, and drops of crystal-clear, smooth blood oozed out.

Xu Yun held the incantation firmly and carefully poured the essence blood into a jade bottle. He also released the remnant soul of Daoist Tianlin, who had just established his foundation, to dissipate the evil energy within, so that it could be better refined.

Time passed unnoticed, and the once plump corpse of the Bloodflame Beast shriveled up, becoming a pitiful sight, like skin and bones.

Xu Yun let out a long breath and looked at the jade bottle placed beside him. It was filled with the essence of the Bloodflame Beast, containing all its essence, making it extremely valuable.

"We've finally extracted the essence blood of the Bloodflame Beast. Next, we need to adjust our energy and spirit before starting to cultivate the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique."

Although Xu Yun already possessed a Foundation Establishment spiritual object capable of breaking through the Qi and Blood barrier, and with the support of the first level of his Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, he was quite confident that he could break through this barrier.

However, in Xu Yun's view, it would be best to increase the chances of success as much as possible, at least to have a 70-80% chance of a breakthrough.

That is why Xu Yun still values ​​this Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique so much. If he can break through to the second level, then breaking through the Qi and Blood barrier will be much easier for him.

"Phew... Let's begin."

A moment later, Xu Yun slowly opened his eyes. His essence, energy, and spirit had been nurtured to the extreme, and both his aura and condition had reached their peak. He immediately picked up the jade bottle placed beside him and opened it.

Buzz!

Xu Yun then directly applied the essence and blood inside evenly to his skin, leaving not a drop.

After doing all this, Xu Yun immediately held the incantation and began to circulate his energy and regulate his breathing, while refining the essence blood of the Bloodflame Beast on his skin.

In an instant, the essence of the Blood Flame Beast on his skin began to surge, and together with the surrounding spiritual energy, it began to be drawn into Xu Yun's body, constantly tempering and refining his physique.

Click, click—

His blood and qi were boiling, his muscles were expanding, and Xu Yun calmed his mind and focused his attention, continuously absorbing the essence of the Blood Flame Beast from his skin and refining it completely.

After being refined, this essence flowed into Xu Yun's limbs, bones, and internal organs, making them shine brightly.

At the same time, as Xu Yun was refining and absorbing this essence blood and circulating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, he felt a series of sharp pains within his body, as if a giant axe was about to split him in two.

Xu Yun frowned, forcibly suppressing the pain in his body, and focused all his energy on absorbing the essence of the Bloodflame Beast to transform his physical body.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the essence blood of the Bloodflame Beast on Xu Yun's skin seemed to ignite, rippling with layers of bloody light and frantically being drawn into his body.

From the outside, it looked as if Xu Yun was wrapped in a blood-red cocoon, or as if he was being scorched by blood-red flames.

Xu Yun had refined and absorbed the essence of the Bloodflame Beast for cultivation before, but this time was different from the past, making it somewhat difficult for him to bear.

Xu Yun immediately realized that this was probably a sign that the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique was about to break through!

Thinking of this, he immediately calmed his mind, ignoring the increasingly intense pain in his body, and focused on absorbing the essence and blood to temper his body.

His blood and qi surged wildly, as if they were about to tear apart his internal organs, limbs, and bones.

The bones collided violently, as if weapons were clashing, completely disregarding Xu Yun's body, and a series of tearing sensations came from within.

Pfft! Pfft!

Gradually, strands of blood flowed from Xu Yun's skin, and upon closer inspection, one could see that they contained many dark impurities.

This process lasted for a long time, until Xu Yun's body was covered in blood plasma, and the essence blood of the Bloodflame Beast on his skin faded and disappeared.

Clap!

The next moment, Xu Yun suddenly opened his eyes. Without exerting any force, his instinctive movement alone unleashed waves of energy.

These ripples of air directly washed away all the blood plasma covering Xu Yun's body, making his clothes clean again.

He clenched his fist and felt an unimaginable power within his body, and the speed at which his blood and qi surged was far greater than before.

Breakthrough in the second level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique!

"We've finally reached the second level, which is faster than I expected."

Xu Yun murmured to himself. He hadn't expected that he would break through by simply using the essence blood of a first-grade Bloodflame Beast to temper his physical body.

It's likely that among the apologies Shi Han had given him were several rare and precious herbs suitable for cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, which significantly accelerated Xu Yun's progress.

Thanks to this, Xu Yun directly broke through to the second level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique by relying on the essence blood of the Blood Flame Beast.

"Now, with my own foundation and the spiritual artifact I used to build up my foundation, I should have a 70-80% chance of breaking through the Qi and Blood barrier."

At this point, Xu Yun couldn't help but smile. Now, his probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage has exceeded that of many ordinary cultivators, and is basically no different from that of disciples of some major sects.

If he obtains just one more genuine Foundation Establishment Pill, his success rate in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage should increase significantly.

Buzz!

Just then, a sudden fluctuation came from outside the cave, causing Xu Yun to raise an eyebrow.

He took out his token and opened a crack in the formation, then grabbed a communication talisman in his palm.

Xu Yun poured his magic power into it, and soon a familiar voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please come to Tianhe Tower. I have something important to tell you."
