LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 35
Chapter 38: It’s Not a Problem With the Technique?
When Liu Shunyi woke up again, he found himself in a desolate wasteland.
As he looked around, all he could see was endless yellow sand and an infinite desert.
Liu Shunyi gulped.
“Where the heck did that little brat send me? Is this really still in Qinglian Sect?!”
He was completely bewildered.
And to top it off, this place was completely devoid of spiritual energy.
“This old coot can’t be trying to literally starve me to death, can he?”
Liu Shunyi’s expression darkened.
At this moment, he took flight on his sword.
Why? Because right now, he was least afraid of running out of spiritual power.
On one hand, he had enemies to feed on.
Even if he couldn’t feed on enemies, he had countless Qi Recovery Pills in his storage bag.
What mattered most was to get out of this desert quickly.
Liu Shunyi flew frantically in one direction.
He was fully channeling all his cultivation, combined with the Burning Blood Divine Fist.
His speed was like a streak of blood-red lightning, disappearing from sight in an instant.
But sadly, the desert was just too vast.
Liu Shunyi flew for three whole days and nights.
Yet he still hadn’t escaped the desert.
However, Liu Shunyi’s initial anxiety had faded into calm.
Because he realized he wasn’t thirsty at all.
In fact, he didn’t need to drink water one bit.
Meanwhile, Shi Changxin’s name was continuously flickering in his mind.
Seeing this made Liu Shunyi chuckle.
“Ha, this is surprising!”
Actually, Liu Shunyi had another reason for not worrying.
Before entering, Ji Suying had given him a map.
This map contained an introduction to the desert.
It stated that within the Skyfire Secret Realm, there was a desert.
At the outskirts of the desert, there was no spiritual energy.
But that was because, at the center of the desert, there was a natural gathering formation for spiritual energy.
All the qi was concentrated together, which created this desert.
There were even rumors that if one could find the center of the desert, there would be endless spiritual stones and countless spirit herbs.
But the desert was just too big.
No disciple could survive in the desert.
Survival itself was a challenge, let alone making it to the center.
However, Liu Shunyi was different.
He had a cheat.
Even better, he didn’t need to upgrade his spiritual roots.
For a player with cheats, does the quality of spiritual roots matter?
Not at all!
If he could locate the center of the desert, his foundation establishment this time would be guaranteed.
With that thought in mind, Liu Shunyi looked at the map and headed toward the center of the desert.
Without worrying about spiritual power consumption.
He burned his blood again, even at the cost of burning his mana.
All just to reach the center of the desert quickly.
……
……
Meanwhile, Shi Changxin was chugging down water as if he’d never seen it before.
Not just water—he looked pale as a ghost.
He was practically white and a bit scary.
Shi Changxin munched on blood pills while drinking.
“This is happening again!”
He felt truly miserable right now.
The problem was, this just happened several times each month, and there was an indescribable nausea in his heart.
But now, it seemed to be even worse.
Not only was his blood inexplicably evaporating, his mana was rapidly depleting too.
“What the hell is going on?”
Shi Changxin was utterly baffled.
Meanwhile, a crow that had been observing Shi Changxin was scratching its head in confusion.
“I’ve never seen this situation before, but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not a problem with the Blood Demon Technique!”
Shi Changxin was a bit irritated.
“Then what do you think is happening to me? Don’t tell me I’ve been possessed!”
The crow pondered for a moment, then replied, “Is it possible you really are possessed?”
“Clunk~”
Shi Changxin, feeling weak, plopped down on the ground.
“Quit spouting nonsense! Can we just stabilize my condition for now? If you don’t come up with a plan, I might actually die from blood loss!”
The crow nodded, then pulled out a crimson stone.
“Absorb and refine this!”
Shi Changxin didn’t hesitate.
He quickly sat down to refine the bloodstone.
But then something even more terrifying happened.
The more Shi Changxin refined the bloodstone, the more his blood seemed to evaporate.
The key was that due to the extended operation of the Blood Demon Technique to replenish his blood, it had actually broken through.
But after the breakthrough, his blood vaporized even faster.
Shi Changxin stared wide-eyed at the crow.
“And you still want to insist it’s not an issue with your technique? My Blood Demon Technique broke through, and my blood is evaporating even faster!”
The crow was equally dumbfounded.
It hadn’t expected Shi Changxin to have such a talent in cultivating the Blood Demon Technique.
No wait, it was more accurate to call it a freak of nature.
Shi Changxin had only been training the Blood Demon Technique for less than a year, and he was already on the second level!
But why was his blood evaporating?
This left the crow just as lost.
“Hang on, let me think!”
It then handed Shi Changxin another bloodstone.
But at that moment, Shi Changxin’s lips were cracking.
“Forget thinking, just bring me a bucket of water!”
“Uh, okay!”
But then the next scene left the crow completely stunned.
Shi Changxin sat right down in a water vat.
And then the crow saw Shi Changxin refining the bloodstone while chugging down water like a man possessed.
“Why are you still so thirsty?”
Shi Changxin took a deep breath.
“I’ve lost so much blood; of course, I need more water!”
The crow nodded.
“Yeah, that makes sense!”
But it soon felt heartache.
Because at that moment, Shi Changxin’s Blood Demon Technique had instantly broken through to the third level.
The speed of absorbing the bloodstone skyrocketed.
But the rate at which his blood evaporated also quickened.
“What on earth is happening?”
The crow was left with a head full of question marks.
While Shi Changxin was so weak he could barely continue refining the bloodstone.
“Forget it, I’m tired. Let it all end!”
Shi Changxin gave up entirely.
He didn’t even want to drink water anymore; he just wanted to be done with everything.
The crow hurriedly helped refine the bloodstone.
Because Shi Changxin was genuinely a monster.
His speed in cultivating the Blood Demon Technique outpaced all.
So, the crow couldn’t let Shi Changxin die.
After thinking for a moment, the crow pulled out a golden stone.
“This is the blood of an ancient top demon; hopefully, this helps you!”
With that, the crow began refining the golden bloodstone.
In an instant, a massive surge of vitality rushed into Shi Changxin’s body.
And the once-half-dead Shi Changxin instantaneously regained his color.
Not just that, he felt his physical body becoming stronger.
Shi Changxin’s eyes went wide.
Then he hurriedly sat down.
At this moment, he was channeling the Blood Demon Technique to its fullest.
“Boom~”
In an instant, Shi Changxin’s Blood Demon Technique broke through again.
No, it actually broke through consecutively.
In the end, he forcibly advanced his Blood Demon Technique to its pinnacle.
Although his blood was still evaporating, it no longer mattered.
Because now, the more his blood evaporated, the better he felt!
