Chapter 275: Chapter 272: Realm Enhancement (10th Update)

"He really is a spineless kid."

As Ye Xuan turned and fled, not even bothering to take the Ghost Martial Grass, a mocking smile appeared on Lv Yuanzhi’s face; his opponent’s courage was too small.

It was just a strange phenomenon that had frightened Ye Xuan to this extent.

He walked over to the Ghost Martial Grass, his palm sucked it out complete with the soil.

Having obtained the Ghost Martial Grass, the smile on Lv Yuanzhi’s face grew even thicker.

However, just then, a blurry shadow suddenly flitted before his eyes.

"Who?"

Lv Yuanzhi’s expression changed, and a hint of alertness emerged. But at that moment, a bloody scent suddenly wafted from behind him.

Feeling a chill wind on his back, Lv Yuanzhi quickly turned around and at that same moment, the bizarrely beautiful face of a woman appeared before his eyes. The woman suddenly opened her mouth wide and bit down on his neck.

With a scream, the scale armor on Lv Yuanzhi’s neck was directly penetrated, and fresh blood gushed out, which the woman greedily gulped down.

Thump Thump Thump!

Lv Yuanzhi struggled vigorously, his fists and palms connected, fiercely pounding on the woman’s abdomen. However, even as his blows deflated her body, it rapidly recovered under the swirling eerie black light, seemingly unaffected.

It didn’t take long for Lv Yuanzhi’s arms to droop, his body stiffened and rapidly withered away.

The genius of Evil Wind Cave Heaven, whom even Ye Xuan couldn’t kill, was instantly slain and fell dead on the spot!

Boom!

After draining Lv Yuanzhi dry, the woman flung the skin-and-bones corpse aside with a casual toss.

Licking the blood that stained her lips, the woman’s originally beautiful face looked utterly ferocious. With a sinister smile, she looked towards the spot where Ye Xuan had just left, her figure flashed, and she disappeared from the spot.

...

After leaving the mountainside, Ye Xuan sped along his way and operated the technique to conceal his aura, reducing the fluctuations of his presence to the lowest.

While hurrying down the mountain, he heard Lv Yuanzhi’s scream. The latter must have encountered something horrific, and his fate was likely grim.

Even the semi-serpent man Lv Yuanzhi met such a rapid misfortune; the strength of the Evil Demon that emerged from deep within Ghost Mountain was frighteningly formidable.

He needed to find a place to hide immediately, for if that creature found him, his end would likely be very tragic.

Ye Xuan found a hidden cave, carefully camouflaged it, and then sealed the entrance with rocks. This way, even if that Evil Demon were formidable, it would be nearly impossible to find him in a short time.

Sitting cross-legged inside the cave, Ye Xuan decided that he would not venture out easily again until he advanced to a Third Grade Martial Sect.

Taking out four stalks of Ghost Martial Grass and a Martial Arts Golden Core, Ye Xuan started to refine them one by one.

Ghost Martial Grass was a rare Heavenly Grade Spirit Grass, mixed with some stubborn Yin Ghost Qi that was hard to refine. However, for Ye Xuan, this wasn’t too difficult, his Dragon Essence True Qi could even refine stone into powder, let alone the mere Yin Ghost Qi.

Ye Xuan directly stuffed a stalk of Ghost Martial Grass into his mouth, chewed it into powder, swallowed it, and began to circulate his True Qi to refine it.

Once Ghost Martial Grass entered his stomach, it transformed into clusters of black medicinal energy, seeping into his blood and viscera, penetrating every part of Ye Xuan’s body.

However, the Yin Ghost Qi within it also tried to infiltrate his weakness and blend into Ye Xuan’s body. But Ye Xuan was well-prepared, carefully extracting the Yin Ghost Qi from the black medicinal energy during the refinement process and gathering it at one spot before expelling it from his body.

In just less than half a day, Ye Xuan fully refined the medicinal energy from the first stalk of Ghost Martial Grass and absorbed about one-fifth of the Netherworld Corpse King’s Martial Arts Golden Core.

"After consuming a large amount of Star Body Pills, the capacity of my Dantian has greatly increased. If I hadn’t taken the Star Body Pills, the energy I have now would have been enough for my advancement."

Ye Xuan secretly lamented in his heart. Fifty Star Body Pills were not consumed in vain. They not only tempered his sinews and flesh and widened his meridians, but his Dantian had also expanded considerably. His body’s potential was unlocked, making advancement more challenging, but once completed, the increase in strength was notably substantial.

Without further thought, Ye Xuan continued to consume and refine the remaining three stalks of Ghost Martial Grass while simultaneously absorbing the Netherworld Corpse King’s Martial Arts Golden Core, managing both processes concurrently.

The medicinal energy from the three stalks of Ghost Martial Grass and a Fourth Grade peak Martial Sect’s Martial Arts Golden Core surged with immense power within Ye Xuan’s body. Even with his expanded meridians, absorbing such enormous energy was still somewhat insufficient.

Wisps of black Qi escaped from Ye Xuan’s pores and permeated the space of the entire cave.

These emanations of Yin Ghost Qi were expelled as impurities, unable to enter Ye Xuan’s body.

Each Circulation of the meridians added a substantial amount of True Qi in his Dantian. After three full days passed, Ye Xuan felt every cell and every inch of blood within him filled with True Qi, and he had reached the brink of becoming a Third Grade Martial Sect.

Whooosh!

Within the Dantian, True Qi churned violently and the colorful Martial Arts Golden Core floating in the center of the Dantian began to expand after all the medicinal power and energy were absorbed by the body.

This expansion process lasted for an hour, and the Martial Arts Golden Core vibrated intensely during this time, expanding further beyond its original size.

The True Qi within the Dantian was completely drawn into the Martial Arts Golden Core and then expelled out. After the Golden Core advanced, the uncomfortable feeling of expansion in Ye Xuan’s body swiftly vanished, replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort.

With the advancement of his realm, Ye Xuan could distinctly feel a significant increase in the power within his body, somewhat beyond his control.

Whether it was the Ghost Martial Grass or the Netherworld Corpse King’s Martial Arts Golden Core, neither was cultivated by Ye Xuan himself. Even though they had been refined into True Qi, handling them was not very intuitive. He needed to continuously use them to achieve complete integration.

With a slow exhale of white breath, Ye Xuan raised his hand, and a swift rush of True Qi gathered in his palm. At first, there was a flicker of blue light, followed by arcs of lightning, and finally, it shimmered with strands of golden brilliance, each as sharp as any blade, capable of cutting through metal and stone.

"Having reached Third Grade Martial Sect, I can cultivate a Middle Stage Heavenly Grade martial arts technique."

Currently, Ye Xuan primarily relied on two Miracle Scriptures from the Heavenly Martial Hall. These two techniques were very suitable for him and powerful. Moreover, under his ongoing innovation, they continued the legacy of their past glories.

Ye Xuan recalled various martial arts techniques in his mind. His memory was like a vast treasury of martial arts, filled with numerous techniques he had practiced and others he had not. However, the style of martial arts he pursued now was completely different from his previous life. Thus, his choice of martial arts wasn’t just based on power and level but on how well they matched his physical constitution.

Only those that suited him were the best. This saying applied not just to women but also to martial arts.

"Dragon Essence Palm."

After browsing through various martial arts for about forty minutes, Ye Xuan chose a palm technique martial arts.

Dragon Essence Palm, a Heavenly Grade technique acquired from the Dragon Clan in his young days. It comprised seven moves; the first three were Middle Stage Heavenly Grade, the middle three were High Stage Heavenly Grade, and the final one was Top Stage Heavenly Grade, ideal for the physically robust young dragons. Ye Xuan chose this technique partly for its great power and partly to strengthen his physique, also to prepare for his future journey to the Sky Demon Mountain.

Cultivating Dragon Essence Palm was extremely demanding. If a human wanted to practice it, they would need to consume numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance their physical strength.

The experts of the Demon Clan were all physically formidable and rich in essence. Although Ye Xuan’s physique was strong, it still fell short when compared to the Demon Clan’s experts.
