Chapter 11: Body Training Method and Fierce Beast's Blood
TL: Etude
The most valuable part of the ferocious striped snake was its blood. As for its skin, although it was worth several thousand pieces of money, Ye Tian couldn't carry it alone, and skinning was very troublesome.
Mo Shaobei and his men would likely find this place quickly, so Ye Tian couldn't linger here for too long.
"The fierce striped snake was crawling in that direction before it died; could there be something there that could heal its injuries?" Ye Tian looked over and his eyes widened. "Is that...?"
His expression changed.
Not far away, a stalactite was hanging upside down from the top of the cave, and a droplet of liquid substance had dripped onto a stone groove, accumulating a small layer.
This liquid substance emitted a faint white light. Anyone could see that it was no ordinary thing.
"In novels, they often mention things like hundred-year-old stalactite, or thousand-year-old stone stalactite. Could this be it?" Ye Tian guessed.
However, he didn't know about such treasures, and was only guessing based on novels from his previous life.
Regardless of the case, this thing was certainly valuable.
And so, Ye Tian took out his last water bottle, poured out all the remaining water, came under the stalactite, and collected the remaining stalactite liquid into the water bottle.
The amount of stalactite liquid was not substantial, probably because the fierce striped snake had consumed much of it, so only a little more than half the water bottle was filled.
Looking at the stalactite and the slowly accumulating stalactite liquid, Ye Tian had a plan in mind.
"At this rate, there will be only one drop of stalactite liquid in a day. I can't wait, but I also can't let other students benefit from it. I must destroy it!" Ye Tian said with determination.
Then, he held his iron sword and chopped at the stalactite, quickly breaking it. He then concealed this place with some tricks.
"This place can produce stalactite liquid, so there might be even more precious treasures in the rock layer. But the rock layer is too hard; I can't break it open now. I'll come back to explore it later!" Ye Tian said with a sense of regret.
After erasing his traces and taking the fierce striped snake's eyes, Ye Tian left the cave.
Just ten minutes after Ye Tian's departure, a group of students followed the blood trail of the fierce striped snake and arrived there.
Upon reaching the cave, they were stunned.
"The fierce beast is dead!" a martial disciple exclaimed.
"Damn, someone got here before us and took the fierce beast's eyes. Those are worth 1000 points!" Mo Shaobei yelled angrily.
The other students were equally furious. They had worked for so long, each bearing injuries, and some students had even died. But now someone had beaten them to it.
"It's bad; the fierce beast's heart's blood has been taken as well, leaving only ordinary wild beast's blood!" another martial disciple yelled.
The fierce beast's blood and the striped snake's eyeballs, the two most valuable things, were both taken away. The entire body of the fierce beast, although worth some money, was of no concern to Mo Shaobei and his men. They simply turned and left.
However, the corpse of the ferocious beast was of considerable value to those ordinary martial artists, and they divided it among themselves.
In the small wild area, there were many caves, and Ye Tian quickly found another small cave, killed the fierce beast inside, and took over the cave.
By then, he had already obtained the eyeball of the ferocious spotted snake, worth 1000 points. With a day and a half left, he didn't need to hunt any more beasts, as he had securely claimed first place.
But he didn't want to waste time; he planned to cultivate here.
"How much can all this ferocious beast's blood enhance my strength?" Ye Tian looked forward with some anticipation.
He took a sip of the beast's blood and began to cultivate using his body strengthening technique.
Boom!
The blood of the ferocious beast transformed into a stream of energy, accompanying the movements of the body strengthening technique, refining Ye Tian's body and accelerating the increase in strength.
Quickly, eighteen movements were performed, and the energy of the ferocious beast's blood was almost exhausted.
Ye Tian carefully sensed the changes in his body and was immediately overjoyed.
"It’s almost four times the cultivation speed, and this is just the blood of a low-level ferocious beast. If it's the blood of a mid-level beast aiding in cultivation, wouldn't the effect be even more incredible? No wonder many people with mediocre talents become martial warriors or even elite warriors in their twenties or thirties; they must rely on a large amount of ferocious beast's blood!" Ye Tian guessed.
He took another sip of the beast's blood and continued to cultivate.
Being of medium cultivation talent, Ye Tian's absorption of the beast's blood was far superior to ordinary people. If it had been someone of primary cultivation talent, a 2-times increase in cultivation speed would have been good.
With the beast's blood, Ye Tian's growth rate far exceeded others.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
At this time, Ye Tian realized he had performed the body strengthening technique ten times, but it seemed...
"My body doesn't feel that tired; could it be that I can practice the body strengthening technique again?"
Thinking thus, he acted.
Ye Tian practiced the body strengthening technique again and found that he really had cultivated it easily once more, without causing any damage to his body.
"I understand now, the reason ordinary people can only practice the body strengthening technique ten times is due to the body's limited energy. Over-cultivation would be an overdraft on potential. But with the ferocious beast's blood, it's different. The blood replaces the body's energy, so I can practice the technique multiple times. Ten times is far from the limit; I might even be able to do it twenty or thirty times!" Ye Tian said excitedly.
Perhaps this secret was not a secret to the warriors, but no one revealed it to the martial disciples. Mainly because martial disciples had difficulty obtaining beast's blood, and the warriors themselves needed all they could get for their own cultivation. Naturally, they wouldn't make this secret public; otherwise, countless martial disciples would go mad.
Even in large clans, supplying martial disciples with large quantities of beast's blood was simply unrealistic.
"Hahaha, so much beast's blood is enough for me to cultivate for two days. Perhaps at the end of the trial, I can increase my strength to 400 jin." Ye Tian clenched his fist, thinking to himself.
He continued to cultivate!
Meanwhile, chaos ensued outside.
To gain more points, many martial disciples fought each other to seize each other's possessions, all to achieve better rankings. However, these martial disciples dared not kill, as the punishment would be severe, and no one knew if there were warriors hidden in the shadows.
Even so, the weaker martial disciples were unlucky, as their hard-earned materials were stolen one by one.
In the blink of an eye, the three-day trial was about to end.
At that time, one by one, the martial disciples emerged from the small wild area.
