Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 232 The Fifth Level of the Dragon-Elephant Golden Body

"Why kill him? The Blood Soul Pill is still good." Chen Jia said with a little regret.

Zhong Lin picked up a jade bottle from the ashes at his feet. The bottle contained the so-called improved Blood Soul Pill. He scraped off a layer of powder with his fingernails and put it into his mouth.

"Golden Sand, Pinellia Tuber, Cinnamon Twig, Chanyi, Chuan Duanxu..."

Zhong Lin instantly named dozens of medicinal herbs, including herbal medicine and minerals.

He curled his lips and said, "It's not even a fourth-grade elixir. It just takes advantage of the blood evil energy. If I can't even deduce this little bit of a prescription, how can I be a fifth-grade alchemist?"

Chen Jia, who was in the soul-nourishing ring, was stunned for a moment. He shrank inside and didn't want to speak, having forgotten that Zhong Lin was a fifth-grade alchemist.

Zhong Lin shook his palm and the Blood Soul Pill shattered directly.

"This Blood Soul Pill is only useful for warriors below the Innate Realm. The blood evil energy contained in it is too little, and the Innate True Qi can easily refine it. It is just useless." Zhong Lin shook his head.

Although blood crystals are useful for cultivation, the blood crystals condensed by ordinary people contain too little blood and energy. If they are used for cultivation, it is estimated that tens of thousands of them will be consumed at a time. The blood crystals condensed by acquired warriors may have better effects, but not much better, and the gains do not outweigh the losses.

Chen Jia also figured out the key point and said, "If you put it that way, it's really not worth it."

Practicing once consumes tens of thousands of blood crystals, which means tens of thousands of lives. It is too troublesome, and there are not so many people in the Black Turtle Continent to consume.

Looking at the blood corpses that had been cleared out in the entire valley, Zhong Lin grabbed the air, and all the scattered blood crystals flew over out of thin air under the control of Ling Yuan.

"I'm only one step away from reaching the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body. I can use these blood crystals to break through."

With a shock of spiritual energy, these blood crystals were directly shattered and transformed into pure blood energy that enveloped Jiang Zhonglin. From a distance, it looked like a huge blood cocoon.

Zhong Lin sat cross-legged in the blood cocoon, activating the Dragon-Elephant Golden Body to absorb blood and energy.

The function of the Blood Soul Pill is to violently extract the Qi and blood from the human body and turn it into blood crystals. You must know that Qi and blood are the foundation of human beings. This is equivalent to refining pills with humans. The pills refined are most suitable for cultivation. After all, they all come from the same species and have the same origin.

The Dragon Elephant Golden Body has already reached its breakthrough limit after being induced by the poison beads over the past few days, and it is only a matter of time before it reaches the final step.

However, this kick is also the most critical point. If you don’t find the opportunity, you may not be able to break through for years or even decades.

The appearance of blood crystal is the opportunity. The rich blood energy in it is extremely effective in strengthening the body.

As blood and energy flowed into his body, Zhong Lin's body continued to expand and contract, expand and contract again. His internal bones, cells, and even deep genes were being reshaped, evolving towards a higher level.

Zhong Lin's exposed skin exuded a faint golden light. If you look closely, you will find that this golden light shines on every cell from the inside out, and a faint dragon-elephant sound echoes deep in his genes.

Zhong Lin's eyes were tightly closed, his body curled up into a ball, like a baby in its mother's placenta. The blood cocoon surrounding him was the mother's nourishment. As time passed, a faint trace of blood and residual residue seeped out of Zhong Lin's body and pores. These were the waste products hidden deep within his body, now slowly squeezed out by the beating of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body technique, just like a blacksmith tempering iron, removing impurities through repeated hammering.

The flesh and blood are purer and more condensed.

Zhong Lin suddenly had a feeling that all the muscles in his body could be as soft as a ball of cotton, or as hard as a piece of steel. His body's strength, explosiveness, and endurance increased again.

Zhong Lin was lying motionless in the blood cocoon, held like a baby, as if dead. His body was as red as a shrimp, but his breathing was long, and a faint golden light shone through his body.

Chen Jia's soul flew out of the soul-nourishing ring and looked down at the blood cocoon in front of him. A greedy look appeared in his eyes.

"Come on, come on."

Another hour passed, and Zhong Lin in the blood cocoon suddenly opened his eyes. He inserted his hands directly into the blood cocoon and tore it apart violently. With a clear sound, the blood cocoon was torn into a crack and shattered.

Zhong Lin stepped out, and the slightest movement of his body was filled with explosive power. His body looked as if his muscles would explode at any time, which was chilling.

You can imagine how much explosive power such a body contains.

Zhong Lin stood in place, his eyes slightly closed, and then circulated the qi and blood in his body, distributing them to every part of his body, rushing into his skin, tendons, and eardrums. He also felt that his body had shrunk a little, and his figure had become more perfect, solid and powerful.

Suddenly, Zhongli opened his eyes, clenched his right fist, and punched forward with the most basic bow stance.

Rumble!
In an instant, his skin began to tremble and vibrate at a high speed, making a buzzing sound like steel exploding. His pores bulged and his delicate skin looked like scales.

A huge sonic boom sounded, and a white air wave exploded on his fist, echoing throughout the valley and shaking the surrounding rocks.

The calm ground was directly lifted up by this air wave. When the dust settled, a huge gully a hundred meters long appeared on the originally flat ground.

Zhong Lin was also shocked by the scene in front of him and looked down at his fist. You know, that punch just now did not use any spiritual energy, but was only delivered with the strength of the physical body. Not only did it produce a sonic boom, but the violent air wave also exploded with such great power through the air.

Chen Jia emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Ring and proudly declared, "Dragon-Elephant Golden Body is a low-grade Earth-level martial art that focuses on the physical body. At the fifth level of cultivation, you possess a terrifying force of 160,000 kilograms simply through your physical body. Right now, you can battle Spirit Sea Realm warriors with just your physical strength. If you combine it with Spiritual Essence, Fist Intentions, and Sword Intentions, an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm warrior can easily defeat you."

A smile also appeared on Zhong Lin's face. After fighting against opponents of higher levels, he now had the qualifications to be the protagonist.

"I just wonder if a warrior at the Spirit Embryo Realm can give it a try?"

Snapped!
Chen Jia slapped Zhong Lin on the back of the head and scolded him angrily, "You're already getting cocky just from a few compliments! What do you think the Spirit Embryo Realm is? It can compete with the Spirit Sea Realm simply because there's no fundamental difference between this realm and the Spirit Origin Realm, except that the Spirit Origin is more abundant. Your physical strength at the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body can barely make up for the difference, but the Spirit Embryo Realm has already condensed its spiritual body. With a single move, it can manipulate the essence of heaven and earth. Using martial arts of the same nature can unleash several times its own strength. How can a mere Spirit Origin Realm warrior like you dare to challenge them? Are you courting death?"
