Chapter 279: Chapter 193: Blood Burning_2

Li Yi immediately said, "Get to the point, how do we deal with it?"

"Don’t you have a long spear in your hand? Destroy its shell, annihilate its remnant thoughts, this matter is very familiar to you Earth Prisoners, there is no need for this old one to teach you much, but you must guard against this demon’s Primordial Spirit attack. Once you get close, you will be gravely injured, but if there are enough of you cultivators, I believe that the demon will be no match against so many, and in the end, it will surely die in resentment," the remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin said.

"That simple?" Li Yi was somewhat skeptical.

The remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin said, "It’s that simple. If there’s anything particularly difficult, it’s locating the demon’s trace among the hundreds of bodies. But tracking and searching for people is not my forte, so it all comes down to your luck. However, you’ll only have one chance to act – if it escapes, you won’t be able to kill the demon the next time."

"There’s no need for you to mention that. Its strength has grown to this extent in three months. If it had half a year, or a year, Earth would be its," Li Yi said.

The remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin then said, "The Martial Arts you learned last time are a bit lacking; your cultivation of Qi-Blood is too slow. If you are willing to give this old one a Resurrection Pill, I can teach you the Blood Burning Technique, which will make your Qi-Blood boil instantly, squeezing out your body’s potential and saving you the time it would take to accumulate Qi-Blood. Moreover, it can help you break through to the next realm in one fell swoop."

"You’re actually coveting my Resurrection Pill," Li Yi’s expression shifted.

"Although it’s not of great use to me, it can prolong this old one’s remnant thoughts for a while. Whether or not you want to make this deal is up to you," the remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin said.

Li Yi thought for a moment and then asked, "Does the Blood Burning Technique have any drawbacks?"

"Using it once works for three days, but after three days, your lifespan is shortened by ten years," the remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin said. "But you evil Earth Prisoners are naturally tough. Losing ten or eight years of life probably won’t matter much to you. Moreover, you have the Ghost Bamboo; a few sucks and the lifespan will come right back. This deal is very worthwhile for you."

"You really are an old fox. As soon as I feel drowsy, the pillow arrives. You know I’m pursuing a breakthrough in Martial Arts, so you propose this so-called Blood Burning Technique. You weren’t so proactive before," Li Yi said.

"It’s all about timing in business. If this old one had spoken earlier, how could you have taken such a simple Blood Burning Technique seriously? With your cultivation speed, accumulating Qi-Blood for a month would be enough to make a breakthrough," the remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin said.

At this moment, Li Yi began to hesitate.

He knew this Sword Coin had ill intentions; it had even attacked him before. Now, if he gave away a Resurrection Pill, who knows what mischief it might cause after regaining strength.

Yet, Li Yi did indeed need to make a breakthrough in Qi Cultivation.

Whether it was to deal with the immediate crisis or to confront Yang Yilong, strong power was indispensable.

But as it had said.

Timing is very important.

In a month, Li Yi could naturally accumulate enough Qi-Blood to open the acupoints and become a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist, but by then, that would be too late, and the breakthrough would no longer have any significant effect.

After weighing everything,

Li Yi immediately said, "Good, I’ll make this trade."

"Goods before payment... It’s not that this old one mistrusts you, but that I don’t trust the integrity of all you Earth Prisoners. You Earth Prisoners lie easily, not even batting an eyelid. One moment you might swear on your ancestors, and the next, you go back on your word, and this shameless spirit has been deeply ingrained since ancient times," the remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin immediately said.

"..."

"Fine, let’s do as you say, goods before payment. But how do I give you the Resurrection Pill when you don’t even have a body and can’t take medicine?" Li Yi said.

Although this remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin spoke poisonously, it wasn’t wrong; the integrity of Earth Prisoners was indeed questionable. Swearing was as common as defecating, stinking and utterly unreliable. Even Li Yi himself didn’t trust others’ words. Between people, there was only caution and calculation.

The remnant thoughts in the Sword Coin continued, "Just place the Sword Coin on top of the Resurrection Pill. Although this old one has no body, I can absorb the essence of the medicine with this wisp of remnant thought."

"Then wait a moment; I’ll go get the medicine," Li Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately got up, rummaged through the store room, and then took out a Resurrection Pill. Then, he placed the Sword Coin on top of the pill.

The bronze knife coin emitted a gleaming light at this moment.

The next moment.

The Resurrection Pill instantly shattered and turned into a pile of powder as if its medicinal essence had truly been absorbed.

"Breathing is not easy indeed. This old one has lived a legendary life, and yet now I face such a humble day. Since you have kept your promise, this old one will help you ignite your Qi-Blood..." a voice echoed in Li Yi’s mind, followed by flickering lights on the Sword Coin.

Streams of bronze light seemed to transform into steel needles piercing his body.

Li Yi felt severe pain in several parts of his body’s major acupoints, and then the Qi-Blood that had been silent in his body began to boil at this moment.

It was only a moment’s time, but his skin turned red, and a wave of heat spread out in all directions from him as the center.

Qi-Blood, seemingly endless, surged crazily out of his body.

Yet Li Yi’s robust physique visibly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, as time passed, the Qi-Blood emanating from Li Yi seemed to turn into a beacon of smoke rising from his Soul Entrance at the top of his head, as if reaching straight into the sky.

Li Yi, with the physique of an inspiration realm Cultivator, forcibly ignited his Qi-Blood, creating the phenomenon of Qi-Blood beacon smoke.

The heart, at this moment, was beating violently with powerful strength.

Each heartbeat propelled the circulation of his Qi-Blood.

Li Yi’s eyes snapped open, his vertical pupils turned red, resembling a Demon awakening, or a supreme Martial Artist descending upon the world, intimidating to all who beheld him.

"Your Qi-Blood will reach its peak at noon tomorrow, and then it will begin to weaken... Your body will consume a lot during this period, remember to eat and drink plenty, and here’s another free piece of news, the injury you sustained from that demon’s Primordial Spirit attack can be cured with your Resurrection Pill, hehehe, enjoy the Blood Burning Technique."

After Sword Coin finished his resentful message, he fell silent once again, and this time his voice was much louder, evidently recovering.

Li Yi did not speak at this moment, his current state was quite extraordinary, every gesture seemed to burst with Divine Power, and the Qi-Blood within him was so abundant, he felt it might explode out of him.

If not controlled, he felt he might lose control and wildly dance in the streets for three days and nights until collapsing unconscious.

"Qi-Blood enters the Soul Entrance, opening the nine acupoints, fortifying one’s Divine Power."

Li Yi took a deep breath at this moment, handling the boiling Qi-Blood, guiding it into the Heart Acupoint, Lung Acupoint, Kidney Acupoint, Liver Acupoint... only waiting to fill all nine major acupoints, then he could open them at once, becoming a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist.

It had to be admitted, this evil remnant did have some substance to it.

This so-called Blood Burning Technique was a perfect fit with Martial Arts.

With this method, the probability of Martial Artists from the Four Seas and Eight Continents breaking through to Qi Cultivation was almost a certainty, despite the cost of ten years of life span, which was trivial to Martial Artists; having reached Qi Cultivation, they could naturally extend their lives to eighty and regain what was lost.

In just a moment’s time, Li Yi’s Heart Acupoint was filled.

This meant that if he wished, he could now open his Heart Acupoint, becoming a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist.

But that would be a great loss.

With this Blood Burning Technique, he must save up until all nine major acupoints were filled, only then would his path of Qi Cultivation be complete.

The Blood Burning Technique continued for a while.

Li Yi was quickly consumed by a sense of hunger.

Normally, his blood nourishing would quickly lead to hunger but now using the Blood Burning Technique, his body felt as drained as if it had been sucked dry, desperately needing nutritional replenishment, or else he feared he might starve to death.

Luckily, he bought plenty of nutritional fluids, and Li Yi began to guzzle them voraciously.

In just a moment, he had already drunk ten bottles.

Only then did his body begin to feel somewhat full.

And after eating and drinking his fill, Li Yi found that the Qi-Blood inside his body was boiling again, even more intensely than before.

Indeed, as the residual voice had said, once the Blood Burning Technique was deployed, the Qi-Blood would grow stronger and stronger until noon the next day, when it would start to weaken; before that, anything you ate would become fuel for igniting the Qi-Blood, the more you ate, the more ferociously the fire burned.

Li Yi had to continue channeling this Qi-Blood, pouring it into the acupoints.

As the Qi-Blood rose and fell, his Martial Arts experience rapidly advanced at an unimaginable speed.

It seemed he could truly open all nine acupoints within a single day, reaching the Peak of Qi Cultivation.

If this were to spread across the Four Seas and Eight Continents, it would surely astonish countless people.
