The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 35 Leaving
Looking at the five khaki monster eggs in front of him, Xiao Jun sat cross-legged.

"Although I don't have much affection for the Xiao family, I do have some blood ties with my parents, and I'm grateful to Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan is truly devoted to the family's upbringing."

According to seniority, Xiao Zhan was Xiao Jun's uncle. No matter what, Xiao Zhan was at least fair. The five monster eggs before him were all earth-type, costing between 5,000 and 10,000 gold coins, which wasn't exactly cheap.

Xiao Jun stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, sending a stream of blood and fire descending upon the five monster eggs. He then unleashed his Dou Qi and blood and fire, enveloping them. The blood and fire rose, drawing out the life essence within them for refinement. After an hour, the blood and fire were drawn directly back into Xiao Jun's own Dantian.

A stream of extremely refined and rich vital energy surged from his dantian, instantly spreading and merging into every part of his body. He activated the essence-reinforcing technique, integrating this pure vital energy into his flesh and blood. Xiao Jun's entire body flushed red, his blood and energy rapidly increasing, his body temperature rising to a feverish level. This was the result of the rapid digestion of this vital energy.

After an incense stick of time, Xiao Jun's skin returned to normal and dissipated instantly. Xiao Jun felt that the essence of his body had become 10% thicker.

"Sure enough, swallowing is still the fastest way to improve. In the past, the essence-cultivating technique could only increase it bit by bit, but now I can directly swallow it to obtain the life essence to nourish my own essence. My aptitude has changed very quickly!"

If a person's essence is deficient, this energy, formed from the essence refined from life energy, will directly make up for the shortfall. However, if one's essence is abundant, this energy will slip away through the meridians, requiring specialized refinement. However, Xiao Jun used the technique of nourishing essence to transform this rich energy into his own nourishment.

After Xiao Jun drew away the blood flame, the five monster eggs completely turned into pale ashes.

However, in the process of absorbing the essence of the outside world and transforming it into the body's own origin, the body will also breed impurities. If you slowly sort out the impurities through meditation and breathing, it will be too troublesome.

At this moment, a cloud of mist emerged from his Dantian. This mist flowed along his body, extracting impurities wherever it passed. Finally, it dissolved into the mist and became his own nourishment, maintaining his purity.

This mist is Xiao Jun's transformation of his own essence into primordial water. If blood and fire are refined by the body's qi and blood, then primordial water is the condensed essence of the body's blood and flesh. This is also the basis for Xiao Jun's research on primordial water fighting techniques, to solve the harmful effects of the fire poison of blood and fire.

Blood flames refine Dou Qi, but they also produce dryness and fire poison. Yuan Shui, on the other hand, condenses the essence of blood and flesh into a watery substance that specifically washes away dryness and fire poison. The intersection of water and fire tempers Dou Qi and the essence of life, allowing cultivation to increase rapidly.

"It just so happens that I'm about to break through to the three-star fighter level. Let's make a breakthrough first!"

Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged, pinching his fingers to control the meridians throughout his body, and his soul drew in the surrounding Dou Qi, transforming it into streams of air and integrating it into his body. He saw the blood and fire in his Dantian burning along the meridians. As soon as the Dou Qi entered Xiao Jun's body, it was quickly refined into nourishment by the blood and fire and integrated into his Dantian.

Shadows of blood and fire appeared around him, emitting a bloody glow that made the surroundings appear a vibrant red, a scene of mystery and strangeness. The Dou Qi vortex within his Dantian rapidly absorbed a large amount of refined Dou Qi. The surrounding energy merged with Xiao Jun's body, pouring into his Dantian almost like an infusion.

Suddenly, a thick surge of Dou Qi spread from his Dantian, flowing into his limbs and bones, radiating a faint yellow glow all over his body. Sensing the Dou Qi vortex condensing once again, Xiao Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and all the blood and fire instantly returned to his Dantian.

"Yes, I have broken through. Fighter three stars."

Xiao Jun sensed the fire poison emanating from the blood and fire, and the cloud of mist within the Dou Qi vortex in his dantian emerged, flowing along his meridians throughout his body, beginning to cleanse him. The watery nature of the mist washed away the impurities and extinguished the fire poison.

Because Xiao Jun devoured a lot of plants and some monster eggs through blood and fire. In fact, blood and fire can also directly penetrate into living things and extract life energy, but blood and fire are still too weak. Tempering the life energy of living things is simply torture and very troublesome. Therefore, Xiao Jun directly kills living things and absorbs the life essence contained in their flesh and blood.

However, a large amount of essence in dead creatures dissipated directly, greatly reducing the vitality contained. Therefore, Xiao Jun preferred to devour plants and monster eggs.

'I need to make a plan for what I'm going to do next.'

"First, I need to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. There are a lot of spiritual herbs and some magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which can be devoured and transformed into my own nourishment."

'Secondly, I must research how to enhance the effectiveness of blood and fire. Blood and fire are still too weak and must be strengthened.'

In Xiao Jun's vision, the blood fire would become so powerful that a wave of his hand would create a blood-red curtain of flames, draining all life from an area. With a single wave of his hand, the life force of creatures like demon beasts would be instantly refined, transforming them into pale ash, their life essence becoming food.

But now, Xiao Jun would spend half an hour or even an hour swallowing a tree or a monster egg. It had no power and was completely worthless in actual combat. Of course, he also understood that the Blood and Fire Fighting Skill was only a nascent creation, still a new thing, but it had unlimited potential.

The only way to sublime the blood and fire now is to use Xiao Jun's own blood essence as fuel. Unfortunately, where does Xiao Jun have so much blood essence to use for the ritual? Even if Xiao Jun can quickly make up for the deficit by devouring it, the sublimation of the blood and fire is too slow.

"I can only wait and study the method of refining in the future. Right now, I still need to study some resources."

After thinking about it, Xiao Jun stood up and dusted himself off. He pushed open the door of the hut and came out to the outside world, breathing in the fresh air. Before he came to the field of spiritual herbs he had planted, all of them were tender sprouts.

Xiao Jun stepped forward, picked all the young shoots, and piled them together. With a flick of his finger, a stream of blood and fire fell. The young shoots of spiritual herbs were enveloped in the blood and fire, their life force drained away, and they quickly withered.

The essence of the spiritual herb was rich and easy to refine. In a matter of seconds, Xiao Jun had withdrawn his blood fire, and the tender sprouts of the spiritual herb had turned into pale ash. The blood fire returning to his dantian released a fairly good amount of essence, along with a dose of medicinal power.

But at this moment, the mist within the Dantian enveloped this essence, directly extracting the medicinal power within it and releasing a stream of pure essence. This was another wonderful use of the condensed essence of flesh and blood, allowing the medicinal power of the spiritual herbs to be directly extracted and integrated into the mist formed by the essence water.

Clouds and mist can refine impure qi, but in essence, medicinal power itself is also a kind of impure qi. It’s just that if used well, it can improve one’s own cultivation.

Using the primordial water mist to refine the medicinal properties contained within plants was actually a way to prevent himself from accidentally refining poisonous herbs, which would then enter his body and kill him. Furthermore, the extracted medicinal properties could also serve as material for Xiao Jun's research into life and medicine.

After devouring these tender sprouts of spiritual herbs as his own small nourishment, he left the secluded abode he had carefully arranged. In order to plan for his future and train himself, he also had another idea: to sublimate his blood and fire.

"I wonder if the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire can serve as a reference for my cultivation?"

Xiao Jun had never practiced the Burning Art, so naturally he couldn't refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire at the Douzhe realm. If an ordinary person wanted to refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, they would at least need to be at the Douhuang realm. Xiao Yan, because of the unique Burning Art, was able to refine the exotic fire at the Doushi realm.

However, Xiao Jun did not seek to refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, but rather to comprehend its firepower and sublimate his own blood fire. Of course, this was just a concept. Even if he could not obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Azure Lotus lotus, lotus seeds, and lotus roots were also an excellent treasure.

……

Walking out of the gate of Wutan City, Xiao Jun looked at the mountain ranges connected together. The mountains turned green, but were shrouded in clouds and mist, and did not seem to be far away.

In fact, the Warcraft Mountains are very far away, but the mountains are so majestic that they seem very close. This is the truth.

After Xiao Jun left the Xiao family, he bought some maps and supplies, and left Wutan City to go to the Warcraft Mountains. Of course, he only entered the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains, walked along the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains, and trained along some roads opened up by the Gama Empire, and finally crossed the mountains into the Tagor Desert.

Join the Desert Iron Mercenary Group to experience it, and then look for information about the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. Then Xiao Jun will choose to return to Canaan College when it is time for enrollment and join Canaan College for further study.

Although some people in the Xiao family initially disagreed with Xiao Jun leaving for training, Xiao Jun didn't bother to pay attention and simply ran away. Looking at the Warcraft Mountains in the distance, Xiao Jun smiled and walked away.
