From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 172: Innate Magical Power: Entering the Blood Movement
The Caobang ferry was in a mess.
After being taken care of by a group of Cao Gang disciples and the captain of the City Guard, the place was gradually cleared up.

However, it will take at least half a month to rebuild it and restore it to its original condition.

Jiang Chen also checked the things on Chen Kang and Bai Mingshou. Apart from hundreds of taels of demon essence stones, he did not find any other special items.

However, after entering the stage of perfect internal organ refining, the effect of the demon essence stone on Jiang Chen became less and less important.

I don’t know if it’s because he has taken too many knocks, or because his own energy and blood have reached a certain limit and it is difficult to continue to increase with the Demon Yuan Stone.

……

City Guards, courtyard.

Jiang Chen sat at the table, looking at the tiger demon's demon pill.

The demon pill was about the size of a quail egg, with seven red lines crisscrossing on it. Under the candlelight, it reflected a jade-like luster.

Since the demon essence stone is not very effective, I can only try the demon pill after the soul cleansing to see how effective it is.

Jiang Chen took out a bottle of soul cleansing liquid and soaked the red demon pill in it.

After a moment, wisps of turbid and dark demonic aura dissipated from the demon pill, leaving only pure red.

Jiang Chen took the demon pill out of the soul-cleansing liquid, wiped it slightly and cleaned it, then put it into his mouth. He did not swallow it but held it in his mouth.

It is naturally impossible to digest the seven-striped tiger demon's demon pill in one breath, and it needs to be transformed bit by bit.

Jiang Chen then activated the furnace blood moving method.

The internal organs in the body turn into furnaces of qi and blood, promoting the circulation of qi and blood in the body.

At the same time, he guided the demon pill in his mouth to dissolve little by little, and strands of red pill liquid like chalcedony flowed through the mouth into the stomach.

[Blood Moving: Getting Started (54/1000)]

After reaching the perfection of internal organ refining, the next step is to break through to the blood moving stage.

The minor, major and complete stages of “moving blood” correspond to “Qi and blood are like mercury”, “Essence is like jade” and “Transformation of Essence and blood” respectively.

If one wants to achieve minor success in blood moving, the goal is to improve the quality of Qi and blood, to the point where “Qi and blood are like mercury”.

The rich red elixir liquid spread throughout the internal organs and merged into the blood.

[Blood carrying experience +1]

……

Time passes slowly.

The demon pill in his mouth gradually became smaller as the pill liquid disappeared.

At this moment, some changes suddenly occurred on the panel, and a new line of text appeared.

[Talent·Flesh and Blood Mutation: 1/100]

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and looked at the line of text on the panel in surprise.

Mutation of flesh and blood?
Is this the tiger demon’s innate magical power?
Jiang Chen knew that when warriors took the demon pills after cleansing their souls to improve their cultivation, there was a chance that they would be able to obtain the innate magical powers of the demons.
But firstly, the probability is extremely small, and secondly, even if there is some gain, the effect will be weak compared to that of the monsters.

But he easily obtained this innate magical power from the Tiger Demon Pill.

A thought came to my mind.

The skin and flesh on the surface of the body moved slightly, and the strength increased slightly, as if the body could become larger or smaller.

But the effect is not obvious, I think it is because the experience value is only a little.

Jiang Chen suppressed his thoughts for the moment and continued to practice, with strands of red elixir flowing into his body.

……

About an hour later, Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

[Blood Moving: Getting Started (76/1000)]

In one hour, the total experience points increased by 22 points.

And under the panel.

[Talent·Flesh and Blood Mutation: 3/100]

The experience value of [Talent] increases to three points.

The extent to which one's own flesh and blood can change seems to have increased slightly.

Strength also increased slightly.

If this talent could be improved to perfection, it would probably be a huge boost to one's own strength.

Jiang Chen spat out the magic pill and poured it into his palm.

At this moment, the red tiger demon pill has shrunk a little, and it looks like it should be able to last for another twenty days or so.

His heart moved slightly.

If every demon pill could allow one to acquire the innate magical powers of a demon,
The accumulation of various talents will inevitably lead to an extremely terrifying enhancement of one's own strength.

Moreover, ordinary demon stones are of little help in improving one's cultivation.

High-level precious medicines are in the hands of the Dragon Elephant Sect, and most of them require merit in exchange.

Only the demon pill's improvement effect is pretty good...

demon……

Jiang Chen thought of Shen Baixuan's invitation to him to serve as a general in the Jinpeng Guard Army and fight against the demons in the Tiancang Demon Abyss.

And the Lord Nanyanhu who I learned about from the attendant of Hongxiang Tower today.

Some thoughts couldn't help but emerge in his mind.

Go to the border of the Demon Abyss and hunt down demons...

"I'll think about it later. First, I need to completely digest this Tiger Demon Pill..."

Jiang Chen pondered in his mind, and then continued to practice.

……

Day two.

The hall of the City Guard Department.

Rong Feiguang looked at Jiang Chen in front of him with a complicated expression.

He had just returned to the Jinpeng Guards and had been there for less than half a month when he was called back by Zhuo Jin to help Jiang Chen deal with the affairs of Hongxiang Building.

Naturally, he also learned that Jiang Chen single-handedly killed two warriors at the Blood Moving Realm from Hongxiang Tower, as well as a seven-patterned tiger demon.

"You really exceeded my expectations..."

Rong Feiguang's expression was quite complicated.

He is only at the minor level of Blood Moving now.
If he were to face two blood-moving warriors of the same level, it would be very difficult, not to mention a seven-patterned demon.

By comparing the two, it is easy to draw the conclusion that I am afraid I am no match for Jiang Chen now.

For a Viscera Refining Martial Artist to be able to achieve this level, what a terrifying talent and strength this must be...

"The matter of Hongxiang Building colluding with demons to sell human flesh has been reported to the main city. This matter will not be tolerated."

"The experts who came down from the main city have already wiped out the remaining forces of Hongxiang Tower in Weicheng. Even the Zhu family behind them has suffered some setbacks."

"However, you have made great contributions in discovering this matter and killing the demon, so the main city has awarded you another first-class merit."

Jiang Chen nodded. This was not surprising.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Does General Rong's request to let me go to Jinpengwei City first, which he said last time, still count?"

Rong Feiguang was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up and he nodded, "Of course it counts. Are you willing to go now?"

Jiang Chen's current strength is not inferior to that of the generals in the army. If he can go to the army to help, it will definitely be a great help!

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I plan to go to the Demon Abyss in a month."

Rong Feiguang smiled and said, "Okay, the Jinpeng Guards welcome you anytime!"

He thought for a moment and said, "I will be returning to the border of the Demon Abyss in two days. If you have anything else, you can tell me as well."

Jiang Chen thought about it and realized that there was indeed a problem. He had just arrived in Jinpengwei City not long ago and it was inconvenient to solve it without any connections.

"General Rong, I have not received any follow-up on the first-class merit I received and my application to go to the treasure pavilion in the main city. I wonder if it can be done faster."

"This matter..."

Rong Feiguang thought for a moment and said, "The efficiency of the main city has always been like this, but there is a solution. Please wait a few more days and I will find someone to help you solve this problem."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Thank you, General Rong."

Rong Feiguang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay. With your current growth rate, I may need your support in the future."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

……

Jinpengwei City, Lin Mansion.

When Lin Wanru heard the news brought back by the maid in front of her, a ripple could not help but appear in her calm eyes.

"It is almost impossible to break through to the Perfection of Inner Viscera Refining in such a short time, even with the Jade Pill I gave you!"

"What's more, Jiang Chen even killed two blood-moving warriors from Hongxiang Tower all by himself, and even a seven-patterned tiger demon under the command of Nanyan Tiger Lord!"

The maid also showed a trace of emotion on her face, "It's really incredible..."

Lin Wanru sat quietly on the armchair, thinking silently.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned to look at the maid beside her: "What is Lin Tiannan doing now?"

The maid was slightly stunned, and said with a hesitant look: "Master Lin is still recovering on the sickbed, but he keeps talking about revenge on Shen Baixuan, Rong Feiguang... and Jiang Chen..."

Lin Wanru's expression darkened.

"He is so stubborn. It was a mistake for dad to give birth to this idiot."

She raised her head and looked at the maid with an indifferent expression: "We can't let him bring disaster to my Lin family. Go and add the Corrosion Powder to the medicine he drank."

Qi-eroding Powder, a poison for warriors, is colorless and tasteless. Long-term use can completely corrupt a warrior's blood and meridians, causing their realm to plummet and they will never be able to recover...

A trace of surprise flashed in the maid's eyes: "Miss, he is after all..."

Lin Wanru's face was cold: "Go."

The maid quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Then he retreated hastily.

……

Ten days later.

[Blood Moving: Getting Started (274/1000)]

[Talent·Flesh and Blood Mutation: 31/100]

After gaining thirty experience points from "Flesh and Blood Mutation", he seemed to have initially mastered this innate magical power.

It can easily expand its body to ten feet in height, or compress it to half a foot in length.

At the same time, this ultimate control over one's own flesh and blood can even be refined to every cell, bursting out 100% or even more than 100% of the strength.

Even with Jiang Chen's current terrifying physical strength, he can still feel the clear increase in his own strength after the "flesh and blood mutation" occurred.

If you work hard to perfection, you will get a huge improvement.

Jiang Chen finished his practice, walked out of the courtyard, and had breakfast in the hall of the City Guard. Then he set off for the main city and went to the treasure pavilion of the Dragon Elephant Gate where all kinds of treasures were stored.

Rong Feiguang naturally kept his promise to me.

Yesterday evening, Jiang Chen received a message from the main city, asking him to go to the main city's treasure pavilion today and choose treasures with two first-class merits.

……

In the main city of Longxiang County, in front of a huge pavilion more than ten feet high, a plaque with the words "Baoge" was hung on it.

Jiang Chen stepped into the entrance and walked in.

The interior of the pavilion was very empty, and a few servants could be vaguely seen moving around in the distance.

"What do you want, my Lord?"

A servant walked up to Jiang Chen, glanced at him and asked.

Jiang Chen said: "Come here to exchange your merits for treasures."

The attendant nodded, and then said, "Please follow me, sir."

Then he led Jiang Chen all the way to the stairs on the east side and went up to a spacious room on the second floor.

"Master, there is an adult who wants to exchange treasures."

"Ah."

Jiang Chen walked into the side room. At this moment, in front of the table in the middle, sat a middle-aged man with white hair and elegant demeanor.

"You are... Jiang Chen, right?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the files on the table, as if to confirm Jiang Chen's identity.

Jiang Chen nodded.

The middle-aged man continued to scan Jiang Chen's file, and suddenly stopped in front of a line of words.

"Hmm? Are you a warrior from Yanyang City?"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then said, "That's right."

The middle-aged man seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "Do you know Feng Jing?"

Feng Jing?

Isn’t this Old Man Feng’s name?

Come to think of it, I don't know what the current situation of Old Man Feng and Yanyang City is like...

This thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, and seeing that the middle-aged man in front of him looked normal, he nodded.

"Yes, he is my master."

“Oh…Is that so…”

The middle-aged man nodded with some emotion.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had known before that Old Man Feng had some dealings with the Dragon Elephant Sect, but he had never known the specifics.

Now it seems that the master of the treasure pavilion seems to know something.

"Does Pavilion Master know my master?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My last name is Chen, and my name is Chen Mingguang."

"Of course I know him. He passed the Dou Kui level forty years ago, and then in just ten years, he successfully entered the Neng Sui level. He made many contributions and also exchanged a lot of treasures from me."

"In my opinion, among the countless warriors from the Hundred Cities who have joined the Dragon Elephant Sect over the past thousand years, he is the only one who has the hope of entering the Transcendent Realm and becoming a true disciple."

"It's a pity... Twenty years ago, when the Tiancang Demon Abyss rioted, he was the commander of a small army and was severely injured by a nine-patterned demon in the Tiancang Demon Abyss. Not even a single cent of his cultivation remained..."

"Afterwards, he left Dragon Elephant Gate and disappeared."

……

After listening to this, Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully.

I didn’t expect that Old Man Feng had this experience.

It seems that after he left Longxiangmen, he traveled around and only returned to Yanyang City two years ago.

Chen Mingguang looked at Jiang Chen's expression and smiled.
"It seems that he didn't tell you about his own affairs. Well, he is a face-conscious person, so it is impossible for him to tell you this."

"However, he seems to have trained a good apprentice..."

Chen Mingguang lowered his head and looked at the files on the table.

"I have completed my internal organ training, killed a blood-moving warrior, and slew a seven-patterned monster, and have obtained two first-class merits."

"You are much more powerful than he was back then."

"Perhaps, you can now fulfill his wish of becoming a true disciple..."

Chen Mingguang raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Jiang Chen thought about it.

After being consumed over the past ten days, only less than half of the Tiger Demon Pill is left, which is definitely not enough to support his breakthrough to the Blood Moving Level.

The demon essence stone is no longer of much use, and the ordinary precious medicines distributed by the Dragon Elephant Sect are of average effect, and the quantity is too small.

Therefore, he also needed other precious medicines with stronger medicinal properties to support his practice.

If you can't find it, you can only wait until the Tiger Demon Pill is used up, and then go to the border of Tiancang Demon Abyss, hunt demons, and harvest demon pills for cultivation...

Jiang Chen said, "Now that I have reached the stage of perfect internal organ refining, I want to seek a precious medicine that can help me break through and move my blood."

Chen Mingguang nodded. Jiang Chen’s choice was not unexpected to him.

He thought for a while and replied, "Some days ago, some things were sent from Zhulong Territory."

Jiulongzhou is so large, it is impossible that there is only one sect, the Dragon Elephant Sect.

Thirteen thousand miles southeast of Longxiang County City is the sphere of influence of the Zhulong Sect.

However, compared to the Longxiang Sect, which has only been around for a few thousand years, the Zhulong Sect has existed for ten thousand years, and its territory is much larger than that of the Longxiang County.

Now that he has been in Longxiang County for several months, Jiang Chen has heard about this...

Chen Mingguang raised his head and said, "I have a Yunhe True Blood Pill from the Zhulong Domain. It should be helpful for you to break through the Blood Moving Level."

"...However, the value of this Cloud Crane True Blood Pill far exceeds the other ordinary treasures in the treasure pavilion, so I can't give it to you for one first-class merit...I need two first-class merits."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and thought for a moment.

Although Chen Mingguang in front of him seemed ordinary, he had been stationed in this treasure pavilion forty years ago and knew Old Man Feng. However, he still maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man.

His real strength must be ridiculously high, so he would not deceive a junior like himself who is only at the level of refining internal organs.

Since he said so, it means that the value of this Yunhe True Blood Pill is indeed extraordinary.

I guess under normal circumstances, this thing is not open to external exchange... Maybe it was because of Old Man Feng that he gave me this opportunity.

Jiang Chen pondered over it, and finally made up his mind. He cupped his hands and said, "It's all up to Pavilion Master."

"Ah."

Chen Mingguang nodded, then stood up and walked into the inner room of the wing.

After a moment, he came out again with a cloud-patterned wooden box in his hand, which he handed to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen opened the wooden box, and inside was a pure white pill that was glowing with light. There were cloud patterns on it, which was quite charming.

"Thank you, Master. I will take my leave now."

Chen Mingguang nodded: "Go ahead. When you return to Yanyang City in the future, remember to say hello to your master on my behalf."

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded and was about to leave the room, but he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked casually:

"By the way, Pavilion Master Chen, what was the name of the demon that severely injured my master?"

Chen Mingguang was slightly startled, looked up at Jiang Chen, and said:

"The Nine-Pattern Demon, Silver Hook Scorpion Lord, has been practicing for a thousand years. He is located eight thousand miles northeast of the Tiancang Demon Abyss, in the Tianhe Stream."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Thank you."

Then he turned and left the room, and left the treasure pavilion under the guidance of the servant standing outside the door.

Chen Mingguang looked at his departing back and smiled.

“As soon as you have completed your internal organs training, you want to target the Nine-Pattern Demon and avenge Feng Jing… You are quite arrogant.”

"I just hope I don't die in the Demonic Abyss..."

……

Leave the main city and return to Yunjiangfang in Jinpengwei City.

Jiang Chen did not take the Yunhe True Blood Pill directly, but continued to take the Tiger Demon's Demon Pill.

He planned to wait until he completely digested the tiger demon's demon pill before considering taking the Yunhe True Blood Pill to break through to the blood moving level.

Time passed slowly, and another ten days passed.

The panel slowly unfolds before my eyes.

[Blood Moving: Getting Started (510/1000)]

[Talent·Flesh and Blood Mutation: 60/100]

The experience point progress for [Moving Blood] is more than halfway through, and the innate magical power, flesh and blood mutation has also reached 60 experience points.

The power of this talent has gradually been revealed.

Jiang Chen can easily change into various faces and his body shape can also change freely. At the same time, his own strength has also increased by 50%.

Jiang Chen looked at the data on the panel.

The tiger demon's magic pill has been completely consumed.

The experience value of "Flesh and Blood Mutation" is just over half, and there is still forty points to be raised to perfection.

I think part of the reason is that the tiger demon's own innate magical power has not been improved to perfection and has flaws in itself.

If you want to continue to improve, you can only absorb the demon cores from other demons...

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then withdrew his thoughts and turned to look at the Yunhe True Blood Pill on the table.

"This is an expensive medicine worth two first-class merits. I hope it won't disappoint me..."

Jiang Chen pondered in his mind, then opened the wooden box, took out the Yunhe True Blood Pill from it, and put it into his mouth.

Strands of medicinal properties flowed down his throat and then quickly filled Jiang Chen's body!
What a powerful medicine!
Jiang Chen controlled the flow of the liquid medicine into his mouth and quickly activated the Furnace True Blood Method.
Use the medicinal properties to temper the blood all over the body, so that one's own Qi and blood will continue to condense and transform in the direction of "Qi and blood are like mercury".

On the panel, a line of clear text quickly popped up.

[Blood carrying experience +1]

……

An hour later.

Jiang Chen stopped taking the Yunhe True Blood Pill and spat it out.

The Yunhe True Blood Pill has shrunk a little, and it seems that it should be able to support a few more sessions of cultivation.

Open the panel.

[Blood Moving: Getting Started (612/1000)]

One practice can increase more than 100 experience points, and this effect is really worth the price.

At this rate, he would be able to successfully reach the minor level of blood transport before he had completely consumed all the Yunhe True Blood Pills!

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied and immediately stood up to stretch his body.

He looked up at the sky and went to the hall to eat.

……

After five days, he successfully broke through to the minor level of blood moving.
