Chapter 177: Chapter 162 Raising Turtles_1

Chamber fifty-six.

Gazing at the ice crystal spike, twice the length of his arm, and barrel upon barrel of thick, ice-blue fresh blood, Pang Jian nodded with satisfaction.

In just a moment, the chill of the chamber sank through to the bone.

To Pang Jian, it felt as if he was sitting on the altar used by the Cyclops and the Ice Demon to communicate with each other once more.

"Such rich and pure Extreme Cold Alien Power!"

Pang Jian marveled inwardly, shivering involuntarily, though his eyes gradually brightened.

"A seventh-grade Ferocious Beast!"

Knowing that the body of a ferocious or a spirit beast was treasure all over, he sensed the value of that single horn, which was why he had the Dark Giant Python quickly swallow it and bring it to his hands.

A seventh-grade ferocious beast had the combat power comparable to a cultivator in the Soul Wandering Realm.

In the Third Realm, the strengths of the sect leaders and Elders of the five major forces were mostly only at the Spirit Condensation Realm.

"This thing must be worth a fortune."

Pang Jian was elated.

Due to Luo Hongyan’s sudden disappearance, he was now short of money and could not afford rare spiritual materials, despite his interest.

If not for Han Ting at his side, today, he wouldn’t even have been able to afford a single bottle of Calming Pills.

That was why, after delivering the Sun Essence Stones, Gold Friday Stones, and Thunderstrike Wood the alien woman craved, he hadn’t continued to request various seedlings and blossoms from the Lower Realm.

Instead, through the Dark Giant Python, he directly swallowed the horn of a seventh-grade Ice Crystal Beast and many barrels of beast blood in one go!

——He needed these items to exchange for a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.

With a thought, he tossed the horn of the Ice Crystal Beast and five barrels of ice-blue-colored beast blood into his bracelet in one go.

The biting cold in chamber fifty-six also abruptly diminished.

Looking at what was left of the beast blood - barely half a barrel - he considered for a moment before lifting the blood containing tiny ice crystals and "glug glug" poured it into his stomach.

After swallowing more than half a barrel of beast blood, Pang Jian within chamber fifty-six was transformed into an ice sculpture.

Just as if he were at the altar beneath Ice-rock City.

The intensely frigid alien power, mixed with the vigorous vitality of blood and flesh, began to spread from his internal organs.

He silently operated his power, drawing upon the Extreme Cold Alien Power with the "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell."

In his Spiritual Sea, the strange ice pool began to expand rapidly!

The Extreme Cold Power from the fresh blood of the seventh-grade Ice Crystal Beast surged into Pang Jian’s dantian, through the function of the spell, causing an explosive increase in the Extreme Cold Power within the ice pool!

The freezing of his body was also slowly lifting.

Meanwhile.

The boundless vitality skilled through his limbs, into his internal organs and bones, but only a portion of it was being absorbed.

He could distinctly feel his physical body strengthening bit by bit due to the infusion of that overwhelming vitality of blood and flesh.

However, a bottleneck soon appeared.

The excess Life Vitality wandered within his body without further penetrating his bones and organs.

It seemed that, lacking a sophisticated Body Refining spell, he couldn’t utilize this vitality.

"Huff! Huff, huff!"

In the end, Life Vitality that Pang Jian’s body couldn’t consume was directly absorbed by the copper amulet on his chest.

On the other end.

The Mysterious Turtle, in a state between sleep and wakefulness within some unknown Fragment Land deep below, suddenly exhaled a long breath, excitedly intercepting the surplus of Pang Jian’s Blood and Flesh Essence Energy.

"It..."

Pang Jian, fully aware of the Mysterious Turtle’s peculiarity, had a flash of insight when this unexpected situation arose.

He immediately established a connection with the Mysterious Turtle and silently invoked the connection in his mind, placing the copper amulet in the palm of his hand.

A ring of bright light rippled out, revealing a spatial fluctuation, seemingly linked to another world.

He threw the barrels of seventh-grade Ice Crystal Beast blood he had obtained from Rebel Kid into the glowing passageway, sending them to the Mysterious Turtle.

"Crack!"

He heard the sound of the wooden barrels bursting apart and felt the ice-blue beast blood materialize in the mouth of the Mysterious Turtle out of thin air.

The Mysterious Turtle, which had consumed a vein of ore and should have entered a dormant state, suddenly became aroused, digesting the blood of the seventh-grade Ice Crystal Beast it had swallowed.

The beast blood Pang Jian couldn’t make use of transformed within the body of the Mysterious Turtle, revered as the Spirit of the Earth, into countless essences that it could merge with!

Pang Jian distinctly felt the "crack, crack" of rocks splitting from the depths where the Mysterious Turtle resided.

The rocks burst open under the pressure, as the body of the Mysterious Turtle swelled up astonishingly due to the absorption of the beast blood.

The Mysterious Turtle, through the blood of the seventh-grade Ice Crystal Beast, began to grow in a way beyond belief!

"The profound life vitality within the blood of a seventh-grade ferocious beast has such a significant effect on it," Pang Jian was astounded internally.

Through his connection with Rebel Kid, he knew that the seventh-grade Ice Crystal Beast had been slain by a woman with six pairs of pristine white wings, who originally intended to bestow the beast as a reward to Rebel Kid.

It seemed the incorrect judgments made earlier by the alien woman had caused Rebel Kid to waste away significantly.

Since Rebel Kid already had a new master capable of killing a seventh-grade Ice Crystal Beast on her own, Pang Jian knew it wouldn’t lack sustenance in the future.

In these circumstances, after he had given away various Spiritual Materials, it was only natural for him to take a portion of the beast blood from Rebel Kid.

"Eh!"

Suddenly, a rich surge of Extreme Cold Alien Power, along with the pure nature’s spiritual energy, erupted in his Spiritual Sea!

The ice pool within his Spiritual Sea accumulated the Extreme Cold Alien Power at a rapid pace!

In the Fragment Land of unknown name, the Mysterious Turtle apparently only required a vast amount of Blood and Flesh Essence Energy; as for the Extreme Cold Alien Power carried within the beast blood, what it did not need, it immediately reciprocated to Pang Jian.

"You are very sensible."

Pang Jian nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, not a single drop of the Ice Crystal Beast’s blood remained in his hands, yet the size of the ice pool within his Spiritual Sea had doubled!

"Upon reaching the Innate Realm, the vast majority of cultivators no longer tirelessly pursue the body refining and strengthening. Expanding the Spiritual Sea to better harmonize with nature’s spiritual energy, then refining the Divine Sense, seems to be the choice of most cultivators."

"However, there are exceptions."

Pang Jian pondered in secret.

Qi Refinement, Meridians Channeling, and Marrow Cleaning are the three realms that a cultivator must lay a foundation in.

But once the Bone Severing Marrow Washing is successful and one ascends to the Innate Realm, cultivators no longer focus on the forging of the body.

Of course, sects like Blood Moon and similar factions still emphasize the benefits of a strong physique.

In such faction forces, there are secret techniques specifically for body refining that can continue to strengthen one’s body in the Innate Realm.

The Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell that Pang Jian practiced contained no records beyond the Innate Realm regarding methods to continue strengthening the physical body, clearly showing it as one of the mainstream spells in the current field of cultivation.

He felt that with his body refined by Phoenix Marrow and his heart containing leaves imbued with Life Vitality, he had an infinite potential to enhance his physique.

——He did not plan to give up refining his body.

"These few days, I need to find a Spirit Spell for Body Refining."

Thinking this way, he felt that he had been cooped up in his cave dwelling for a very long time, and Han Ting, who should have knocked on his door according to their agreement to help him heal and detoxify, had not shown up.

Having been cooped up for too long, Pang Jian thus pushed open the stone door and went outside to the stone corridor of the cave dwelling.

At this moment, the Bright Moon hung high, the stars were dazzling, and the night sky was resplendent with colors.

Looking up at the clear sky adorned with stars and moon, Pang Jian tried to utilize the Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell, also drawing upon strands of starlight and moonlight.

However, compared to cultivating inside the Copper Box, the efficiency was far too weak.

"Han Ting, you better not regret it."

Suddenly, from cave dwelling number fifty-seven next to him, came Zhang Bin’s voice.

When Pang Jian turned in astonishment, he saw Zhang Bin, who had climbed the mountain this morning, stepping out of the number fifty-seven cave dwelling with a darkened face.

"Regret? I will never regret because of you, Zhang Bin!"

Han Ting also stepped out of the cave dwelling, and upon seeing Pang Jian standing in the corridor, she gave a cold smile and said, "I really want Fang Xin to hear what you just said to me. Talking about how she threw herself at you and you reluctantly accepted because you couldn’t refuse, and that you don’t even like her at all."

"For your sake, Fang Xin even dared to attack me from behind; you sure have the nerve to say such things!"

"Pah!"

Han Ting, who was extremely disdainful of this man, spit right in front of him, her eyes filled with loathing: "Get lost, I’ll never let someone like you succeed!"

"Good, very good!"

Zhang Bin nodded vigorously, his eyes brimming with a murderous look, and said, "Then you take good care of yourself!"

After those words, he planned to leave the place that had insulted his pride.

"Zhang Bin!"

Han Ting called out sharply, stopping him in his tracks.

Immediately, she came over to Pang Jian’s side with a flirtatious manner and eagerly clung to his arm.

She even deliberately pressed her soft, tall peaks against Pang Jian’s elbow.

While Zhang Bin’s eyes almost shot fire, she then said smilingly, "What you can only yearn for but never get, I gave to him a few days ago. Pang Jian comes from a major family in the Upper Realm; your status is incomparable to his. I would rather be his concubine or even lie with him for nothing than to cheapen myself with a vile man like you!"

"Han Ting, you are really... cheap!"

Zhang Bin’s teeth ground together with a grating noise.

"Right, you said it perfectly, I am cheap with Pang Jian! I’m willing, can you control it?"

Han Ting laughed rather than being angry, smugly curling her mouth and pressed even closer to Pang Jian, "I like to be debased with him, I’m happy to sleep with him, I’m willing to serve him comfortably, and I would never let a disgusting dog like you touch even one of my toes!"

"Cheap woman, let’s see how you live after leaving the first peak of Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands!"

Leaving behind those words, Zhang Bin turned and left.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, he might break Cao’s rule in a fit of rage, thereby invoking Cao’s merciless execution.

"Let’s go, let’s enter the cave dwelling and love each other."

Han Ting dragged Pang Jian towards cave dwelling number fifty-six and then slammed the stone door shut.

Neighboring it, the stone door of cave dwelling number fifty-five, which was left open.

"Pang Jian, so Big Brother’s name is Pang Jian; I have served them brother and sister for so long, and they would not deign to tell me his real name. It seems women’s charms really are powerful..."

Gao Yuan sighed enviously.

Having long suspected that there was something going on between the two, when Han Ting yelled, he quietly opened the stone door and sneaked into his own cave to eavesdrop.

As expected, he heard what he had assumed had already happened; the hot gossip.

Han Ting, coveted by many Individual Cultivators in Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, had given her body to Pang Jian and unashamedly declared her willingness to debase herself with him...

"The Upper Realm, a scion of a major family; with such status, no wonder Han Ting is willing to throw herself at him."

Gao Yuan nodded lightly, thinking that he understood everything: "Han Ting is quite smart, knowing what ways to cling to the scions from major families."
