Chapter 336: 329

Huangfu Qing hadn’t expected that, knowing only that he needed the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng for Body Refinement, she was unaware of how fierce this supposed "physique" could be.

She had only imagined a scene where the two kissed and exchanged breath, jointly cultivating, such a beautiful picture, but it suddenly turned into a wild bear clumsily munching, nearly snapping off the corn.

They say it’s the Mystical Gate Ninth Layer... But as someone from Vermilion Bird who had seen a lot, she had never encountered such a Mystical Gate Ninth Layer.

Those explosive muscles, the overwhelmingly full Qi and blood, the Taishan-esque oppressive force, and aggression...

Huangfu Qing had already quietly used power beyond the regular Mystical Gate Ninth Layer to resist, yet he had caught her wrists with one hand and pinned them above her head.

The force from the same Mystical Gate Ninth Layer, yet it felt like an adult pressing down a child, leaving her utterly powerless and extremely weak.

You call this the Mystical Gate Ninth Layer?

Huangfu Qing realized that if she insisted on maintaining the persona of the "Winged Fire Snake" and didn’t use the power of Vermilion Bird, she would definitely not be a match for his strength.

Fortunately, this wasn’t a real fight; surely he wasn’t thinking of forcing himself on her?

She just needed to look at Zhao Changhe with a resentful gaze, and he’d awkwardly shrink away: "Uh, that, I didn’t mean it, this potion is a bit fierce, my strength accidentally exploded..."

Huangfu Qing with an expressionless face: "Aren’t you letting go yet? My wrist hurts."

Zhao Changhe inelegantly released her.

Huangfu Qing complained, "Where’s the other hand touching?"

Zhao Changhe reluctantly, just didn’t want to withdraw it.

"Really can’t do anything with you." Huangfu Qing knew his current state might not be intentional, that the potion’s effects were indeed too strong, and objective problems always needed to be dealt with...

She pursed her lips, subconsciously glancing around, pitch-black on all sides, even the Heart Inflammation Evil Fire was gone... Let alone the existence of a Xia Chichi.

In the pitch-dark room, her heart suddenly pounded, unreasonably feeling a sense of indulgent carefreeness.

He was already suffering so much...

Huangfu Qing suppressed her voice like a thief: "Is it okay to use your hands..."

Zhao Changhe dared not disagree, being honestly pushed aside, while Huangfu Qing leaned in to kiss his cheek, her delicate hand gently moving downward: "Don’t move, be good, big sister will take care of you."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

With the Heart Inflammation withdrawn, the Secret Realm was engulfed in darkness, yet through night-vision, one could see the young lady’s cheeks flush and her eyes misty.

Those very hands that were meant for killing were now tenderly soothing his fire. And as his hands remained under her clothes, she did not pull away.

This psychological experience alone was unparalleled, with no need to ask too much.

Nor could he ask for too much. It was already not easy for Huangfu Qing to do this; merely a few hours ago, she was still stubbornly saying there were no such feelings between them.

Was she now... fully confronting her own feelings?

It’s just a pity that confirming feelings and advancing bases still had a considerable distance, modern girls might take a long time of gentle persuasion from agreeing to be your girlfriend to coaxing them into bed, not to mention an ancient noble lady or even a leader, perhaps also with complications from the Sect.

How could it be so easy to abandon all and tenderly engage?

Right now, she still maintained the mindset of being the elder sister in control...

"What are you thinking about?" Huangfu Qing looked up into his eyes, with a playful smile: "Do you think big sister is serving you comfortably, or are you planning how to coax this unsensible woman into bed?"

Zhao Changhe, no longer the straightforward man of years past, had now realized what to do in such a situation.

He said nothing but gently embraced her, lowering his head to kiss her forehead.

The affection and encouragement conveyed were more effective than any words.

Huangfu Qing’s lips puckered slightly; initially somewhat fed up with the repetitive and dreary task, her mood was now uplifted, and she continued her efforts.

"I must be possessed..." She whispered into Zhao Changhe’s ear: "You can’t tell anyone about this when you leave; after all, it’s all because of this Heart Inflammation Evil Fire."

Zhao Changhe could only smirk, Who can I tell?

"Have you ever..." Huangfu Qing bit her lower lip, whispering in his ear: "Have you ever with Tang Wanju?"

I knew it... Zhao Changhe awkwardly said: "No... I haven’t."

"Not even like this?"

"I really didn’t..."

"She’s so aloof, she’s so great, so can I just randomly hug and kiss people, is that it?" Huangfu Qing gripped harder with her hand.

Zhao Changhe arched slightly, "No, no..."

Huangfu Qing’s eyes spun around mischievously, "How about I help you get her, would that be nice?"

Now she finally resembled the demoness she was supposed to be, yet not a single word here was a good response. The thunder was buried.

Zhao Changhe wasn’t stupid; he said with righteous indignation, "Not to mention there’s absolutely no such relationship between her and me, but with you by my side, how could I even think of other women?"

"Really?" Huangfu Qing knew he was saying one thing but felt another, yet she was somewhat satisfied with his response, and then playfully bit his ear, "What about... our Holy Daughter? Have you laid a hand on her?"

Zhao Changhe, "No... The violent woman is keeping a tight watch, sooner or later this old man... Ouch~"

Huangfu Qing, frustrated but unable to show her true feelings, could only pretend to be charming, "You’re still scolding the Venerable, didn’t she send me to be by your side..."

With that said, even if Zhao Changhe had other opinions on Vermilion Bird, he had to admit this one, and reluctantly said, "Unless she really acknowledged it, I even suspect she might stir up new troubles after we get out."

"It won’t happen," Huangfu Qing smiled slightly, "The Winged Fire Snake and the Room Fire Pig becoming a Taoist couple is something our Sect would be happy to see... perhaps there’s even a reason to make the Holy Daughter give up her thoughts..."

She was giving herself a good excuse to find a man; the idea of sending the Winged Fire Snake to Zhao Changhe’s side implied this all along, thus sparking their ambiguous atmosphere. Now, it was just a matter of following through...

I’m not Vermilion Bird; why can’t I, the Winged Fire Snake, be good with Room Fire Pig? It might even block the Holy Daughter’s heart.

But upon hearing this, Zhao Changhe opened his mouth and then closed it again.

It was over; this was face-jumping in front of Chichi. Would he die a terrible death when they got out?

Come to think of it, Chichi dares not throw a fit at Vermilion Bird, but if you get the dirty end of the stick from a Winged Fire Snake, what will you do? It doesn’t seem like you’re afraid at all...

At this moment, Huangfu Qing really hadn’t thought of this layer; in her habitual thinking, why would she fear Chichi? Seeing Zhao Changhe in a daze, she felt a sour twinge in her heart and said resentfully, "What’s taking so long, my hand’s getting tired. Hurry up and check inwardly, is there something wrong with this damn body?"

"..." Believe me, you’ll wish it could last longer in the future.

But Zhao Changhe was also a bit concerned that this body, constructed through drug ingestion, might have some issues, and he felt it would be wise to introspect and clarify before worrying about these topics. Immersing his mind, he observed inwardly.

Upon observation, the first thing he could confirm was that there were no issues. The Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng was a perfect fit for his cultivation, and the path suggested by the Heavenly Book was indeed correct.

Another confirmation was that what he previously thought of as the transformation of special constitutions and normal cultivation belonging to different systems, now seemed to be interconnected. It was an extension of regular cultivation.

External Skill is essentially an exercise of muscles and bones, a way to utilize the body more effectively. By the time one has cultivated to the Ninth Layer of Mystical Gate, theoretically, they have reached the peak in this aspect, and the next phase of cultivation moves toward a more mystical connection with the heavens and earth, understanding the laws. Does that mean the physical cultivation stagnates from there?

At least for the majority of the people on the Human List, it indeed stagnates.

Chi Li, Yue Hongling, Hu Lie, and even Vulture Hunting Teeth did not seem to possess any transcendental power to Zhao Changhe; at most, they only expanded the limit of their physical cultivation due to breakthroughs from the Secret Treasure, just stacking quantity without a qualitative change. Hence, the force unleashed by his half-baked Blood Shura Body allowed Zhao Changhe to survive a hit from Vulture Hunting Teeth without dying.

So these special, lost constitutions must be different developments and qualitative changes based on individual cultivation traits following the foundation set by the Ninth Layer of Mystical Gate.

His own Blood Evil Skill ultimately corresponds to this kind of Blood Shura Body. Xia Longyuan understood this at a glance and sent the "Blood Coagulation Red Fruit" necessary for constructing the Blood Shura Body. The "coagulating" was not about making the blood clot but stabilizing the turbulent blood caused by the intake of the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng, with the suppressive effect of the Blood Coagulation Red Fruit securing it—a monarch and ministers in harmony.

Without the foundation established by the Blood Coagulation Red Fruit, taking the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng might’ve ended in bodily explosion... Now he was just a bit more vigorous in certain areas; a young lady could resolve it, but if there weren’t any young ladies around, he would have handled it with his right hand...

With the basic foundation of the Blood Shura Body formed, he could clearly sense the direction of this physique as the very typical "infinite strength," so-called "Dragon Elephant Power," or "Shura Divine Power." There was almost no enhancement in agility, but there was a slight increase in resistance to blows.

Of course, there was another critically significant capability that had improved remarkably...

What is a dragon elephant, after all! Reeling back.

Speaking seriously, Zhao Changhe doubted whether his "Ninth Layer Mystical Gate," if simply comparing arm strength, might smother those like Heavenly Spirit Child who had broken through the Secret Treasure... except his movement skills and martial arts might not be up to par, so he might not win in a real fight, but that’s another story.

Laying the foundation was just the beginning; hence why it’s called "Blood Shura Body" and not "Herculean Body," there will undoubtedly be countless blood evil-related evolutions to follow. He’d see what the Heavenly Book suggested later, but for now, this Chapter was concluded. If he wasn’t looking for the Heavenly Book on his journey to Kunlun, he could consider it Perfect Merit.

It could be said that the seemingly unremarkable fruit given by Xia Longyuan was actually more important than the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng.

Realizing this, Zhao Changhe felt somewhat conflicted inside.

He did not endorse Xia Longyuan’s actions, but objectively, he had truly helped him... Xia Longyuan didn’t care for his objection and probably didn’t need his gratitude either; he was just doing what he found interesting.

Was he just a high-level player casually helping out a newbie, or giving a hand to his son-in-law? Or did he have other intentions?

Uh... Thinking of Xia Longyuan, then looking at the Imperial Concubine in his arms who was currently helping him draw out the power...

Zhao Changhe shuddered, finally reaching a breakthrough.

At least it proved his body was fine.
