Chapter 325: Chapter 161: Outer Spiritual Power Test_2

Ling Menglu didn’t return until noon. Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong had already had their lunch.

"How did it go? Could you buy some? Sister Wang didn’t have much luck." As soon as he saw Ling Menglu, Long Dangdang asked impatiently. Even his usually calm demeanor was affected by the effect of the Blood Refining Golden Body. This was simply a path towards endless possibilities!

Ling Menglu grinned triumphantly, "Sister Wang didn’t have any, but your cousin does. Call me something sweet, and I’ll conjure it for you."

Without hesitation, Long Kongkong said, "Hello, the most beautiful, most sacred, and kindest cousin in the world."

Ling Menglu turned towards Long Dangdang, her delicate little chin slightly lifted, "And you?"

Long Dangdang’s mouth twitched upward, and he started to make his way towards Ling Menglu.

Watching him get closer, Ling Menglu blushed, "What are you doing?"

"Dear cousin, you are the only one my eyes see, because only you I can’t forget. Since I’ve met you, it seems that the only female left in the world in my sight is you."

"Oh my..." Long Kongkong watched, wide-eyed and flabbergasted at his older brother, smiling softly and even looking somewhat affectionate.

Ling Menglu’s face was even more flushed. She hadn’t expected Long Dangdang to say such things.

At this point, Long Dangdang had gotten close to her and said softly, "Cousin, is that flattering enough?"

"You, you... get away from me, I can’t breathe." Ling Menglu gently pushed him away, not quite able to meet his eyes.

Long Kongkong had a whole new perspective on his brother, "Bro, you are really something."

Long Dangdang just smiled faintly, "I just speak from the heart."

Unable to resist, Ling Menglu taunted, "Who’s the player here? Long Dangdang, you’ve surprised me. I thought you were serious, but you’re just like Long Kongkong, good at sweet talk."

Long Kongkong, flabbergasted, exclaimed, "What does this have to do with me? Don’t drop the blame on me, cousin."

Long Dangdang coughed slightly, his expression turning serious, "So cousin prefers seriousness? I can be that too. Let’s get to business. How is the magical beast blood?"

It wasn’t that he suddenly decided to let loose today, but rather he’d felt the change in his cousin’s attitude towards him yesterday. When Ling Menglu praised him publicly and supported his leadership, he felt it. He understands his cousin, she’s not the type to shirk from responsibilities out of laziness. Therefore, the only explanation for her support is simple: she hopes to see him grow in his position. Besides, he may not be of age yet, but who could spend all his time with such a beauty and not have any ulterior motives?

Ling Menglu gave Long Dangdang an icy glare before walking over to the living room table. She stretched out her right hand and, suspended over the table, from her storage ring flickered a multitude of light; various items began to appear on the table.

Porcelain jars, glass jars, crystal jars, metal jars, and even some unique-looking, bizarrely-textured and wooden jars. A total of twelve jars were laid out on the table.

"These were found in our family treasure vault, all filled with the blood of 4th or 5th Rank magical beasts. I told grandpa that we were going to attempt Blood Refining Golden Body, so he let me search in the treasure vault. His only reminder was not to easily cultivate outer spiritual power over a thousand using the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique. While it’s a powerful technique, its process and future implications are concerning."

Long Kongkong gazed in awe at the multitude of jars, "I guess this is what you call extravagant?"

Long Dangdang also admired them silently, the family was indeed one of the most prominent in the Holy City! They handed out magical beast blood like candy, an entire pile of it.

Ling Menglu explained, "I also asked dad. There isn’t much magical beast blood available for auction, they mostly sell equipment of various ranks. This is because not many people have a use for magical beast blood. Only magic remedy alchemists use them to refine magical remedies. But even then, they mostly use plant-based ingredients for refinement, so the demand for magical beast blood isn’t high. However, due to the difficulty in hunting magical beasts, the price of their blood has always been high."

Long Dangdang asked, "When will you try it, cousin? Do we have the blood of the earth fire lizard we used before? Kongkong and I both felt that this type of magical beast blood had great effects when we absorbed it, and there was no feeling of overbearingness."

"It’s really comfortable, especially comfortable. Cousin, you must try it," Long Kongkong promptly added.

Ling Menglu nodded and said, "I have brought a special bottle. Alright, I will give it a try first. These bottles have labels explaining the rank and name of the magical beasts they came from. You guys can study them first while I test it out. Give me the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique."

Long Dangdang handed her the Cultivation Technique, and Ling Menglu took a bottle of magical beast blood and started preparing to return to her dorm.

Long Dangdang quickly asked, "Cousin, do you need us to guard you while you cultivate?"

She rolled her eyes at him again and replied, "No need, I have Xiao Ming with me." The cultivation of Blood Refining Golden Body required soaking in water after undressing. How could one guard her? Moreover, she was already skilled at healing herself and had the protection of the Luminous Angel Spirit Furnace. Nothing dangerous could happen.

Standing there watching her leave, Long Kongkong nudged Long Dangdang, "Bro, have you finally figured it out?"

Long Dangdang smirked, "Why would I let good things go to waste? Our grandfather has warned us already. We don’t share any blood ties with our cousin. Isn’t this an implied encouragement?"

Long Kongkong, surprised, said, "Is that what he meant when he talked about his relationship with our mom?"

Long Dangdang shrugged, "Assume it that way. Come, let’s try too. Let’s see the effects of cultivating the Blood Refining Golden Body with these other types of blood."

As he spoke, he reached for the glass bottle on the far left.

The blood inside the bottle was dark red, but slightly shimmering with a diminutive metal lustre. There is a label on the bottle which reads, "Iron-Mane Lion, Level 5 Magical Beast." A level 5 magical beast is equivalent to a 4th Rank professionist. The rank is about the same as the blood from the earth fire lizard.

The iron-mane lion is a magical beast that is characterized by its iron-like hair and robust body. It’s mostly distinguished for its physical strength amongst lion-type magical beasts.

"Let’s try this out first. You or me?", Long Dangdang asked Long Kongkong.

"I will, I will. Such a comfy way of cultivation should be prioritized," Long Kongkong eagerly replied.

The cultivation with the earth fire lizard’s blood felt really satisfying. He could distinctly feel the prominent increase in his strength and physical condition. The outer spiritual power had reached nearly five hundred. This was nearly at the 4th Rank. Cultivating more might actually push him to the 4th Rank.

"Alright," said Long Dangdang, who definitely had no plans to fight with his younger brother. He refilled the bathtub with hot water and poured in the fair portion of the iron-mane lion’s blood.

"Add more, or it won’t be potent enough," Long Kongkong added cheekily while undressing. He observed no significant changes during the previous session and absorbed the earth fire lizard’s blood within ten minutes.

Long Dangdang followed his instructions, considering their cultivation process as an exploration. The potency of a Level 5 magical beast’s blood was limited. It wouldn’t hurt to add a bit more.

Long Kongkong strode over to the bathtub bare-naked. With a light tap of his toe on the floor, he was lifted, hovering in the air. Manipulating his spiritual power, he preserved the lightness of his body, then slowly descended into the bathtub, displaying his 4th Rank cultivation level, with a face full of smugness.

This time, he didn’t use his spiritual power to shield himself. He just let his body sink into the bathwater.

The warm water quickly blanketed his body, providing a comfortable and indescribable relaxation.

He heard Long Dangdang saying by his side, "Start cultivating."

"Gotcha," Long Kongkong answered, before triggering his spiritual power and starting the Blood Refining Golden Body practice. Soon, his pores began to open, and his blood started to boil.

The very next moment, a high-pitched, desperate shriek erupted, "Ah ——"
