Chapter 174 Jade Marrow Celestial Elixir (Part 2)

Opposite him stood four people, three men and one woman.

Leading the group was a young man in a blue robe with a handsome face.

It was Yu Kongting.

Beside him stood the ethereal and otherworldly Lingxuzi, and his two disciples, Chengyue and Chengfeng.

"This turtle shell is really hard!"

Cheng Yue spoke up from the side.

She stood side by side with Chengfeng, their hands forming a hand seal, and a full moon seemed to hang above their heads.

But upon closer inspection, one will find that they are not the real moon, but two pale white longswords, their bodies gleaming with a hazy white light.

The light appeared soft, but it was actually composed of strands of extremely sharp sword energy, enough to cut through gold and iron.

However, the sharp light that fell on the two people opposite them was completely blocked by a halo of light emanating from the box, and could not stir up the slightest ripple.

"Alright, stop wasting your energy! Your combined attack technique is good, but it won't have much effect on this Koshchi Box."

Master Lingxu spoke calmly.

They stopped the two from doing that.

Cheng Yue and Cheng Feng practiced a combined attack technique, which combined the Moon Sword and Wind Sword, which were passed down from the Jade Cloud Cave Heaven.

When unleashed at full power, its destructive force is astonishing; if used unexpectedly, it can severely injure even a typical Blood Exchange Master.

But that's about it.

It's clearly not enough to deal with these two.

Upon hearing this...

Although Cheng Yue and Cheng Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, since their master had already spoken, they were still determined to accept the situation.

Neither of them hesitated much.

The hand gestures changed.

The moonlight overhead receded, transforming into two beams of sword light that returned to their sheaths behind them.

"What reason do we need to deal with you barbarians?"

Just then, Vance asked a question.

Yu Kongting gave a cold laugh.

The enormous white tiger aura phantom behind him materialized and became increasingly solid.

That tiger was unlike any other tiger; its fangs were like swords, and its back was covered with sword-like spikes. It was clearly an ancient saber-toothed tiger.

Accompanied by a silent roar.

A terrifying sword intent emanated from his body, but despite this, he did not make any move.

He looked at the palm-sized box that was suspended in mid-air, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Koshch's Magic Box.

Others may not know about this, but among the upper clans and hermits, it is a famous magical artifact.

It was extremely famous in the former Kingdom of Luo.

Although its function is not for defense and combat, but for sealing.

If it were before, it wouldn't have mattered.

After all, this box can only seal one thing, and its power will undoubtedly be greatly reduced during the sealing process.

But things are different now.

The contents of that document have now been released.

The box was empty.

This also means that another being can be sealed inside.

It makes no difference whether the object of the seal is a malevolent spirit, a secret martial artist, or a practitioner of ancient arts.

"Don't push your luck!!"

Vance's face darkened.

Cheng Yue and Cheng Feng's methods were secondary; he didn't take them seriously at all.

What truly made him wary was Yu Kongting, the supreme master of Yuan Dan, and the Taoist priest Lingxu behind him, who possessed an air of otherworldly elegance.

The former, as a supreme grandmaster of the Yuan Dan realm standing at the pinnacle of the extraordinary path of the secret martial artist, naturally possesses formidable combat power.

The latter, Daoist Lingxu, was also a third-realm being in the Old Arts system, at the level of holding a candle.

Their strength was almost equal to the two of them. One was a powerful physique and an unparalleled swordsman, while the other was an ancient arts practitioner at the third level of ancient arts. In fact, the former was even superior to the two of them.

The threat they posed was obvious, otherwise the two of them wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

While the Koshchi Box can seal living things, only its own people know about it, and activating it takes a lot of time, making it unsuitable for use in battle.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary.

He is currently unwilling to confront these guys from the Yu Kingdom head-on.

"Hand over the twelve zodiac animal artifacts, and this matter will be dropped!"

Lingxu naturally understood what Yu Kongting meant.

He also knew what the other party was thinking; if he didn't step in, Yu Kongting certainly wouldn't actually take action.

So I stopped waiting.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened his palm.

next second.

A black talisman floated in his palm, its surface shimmering with dark golden light and emanating an indescribable aura of destruction.

I could feel the terrifying aura emanating from above.

Those present couldn't help but slightly change their expressions.

The aura emanating from it has surpassed the third realm of the old techniques and has almost reached the fourth realm of foundation condensation.

This talisman was drawn by at least a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator using ancient techniques.

"Twelve zodiac animal artifacts? I have no idea what you're talking about."

Vance refused outright.

He had already lost two of the zodiac-themed magical tools, and naturally he couldn't hand over the last one.

As they were talking.

He and Dara took a step back without making a sound, kicking aside a rock.

The intricate patterns carved beneath the surface are revealed.

"Since you are unwilling to hand it over, then I will have no choice but to take it myself."

Upon seeing this, Lingxu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

hum!

next moment.

He activated the talisman in his hand with all his might, and the talisman shone brightly, its light dazzling like the setting sun.

A thick, terrifying beam of light suddenly shot out, carrying a world-destroying force, and slammed straight toward the opposite side.

—BOOM! ! !

The beam of light exploded down, even penetrating directly through the mountain.

The snow-capped mountains outside trembled violently, as if an invisible wound had been torn open in the earth.

The entire mountain was groaning, as if an 8-magnitude earthquake had suddenly struck.

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, countless massive cracks appeared on the surface of the snow-capped mountain, and snow, carrying rocks, collapsed with a deafening roar, unleashing a white torrent that blotted out the sky.

Several people who were exploring the nearby mountains looked up and saw this scene. Their faces turned deathly pale and their pupils shrank to pinpoints.

"Run—!!"

Someone screamed in despair.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The overwhelming avalanche, like divine punishment descending upon the world, instantly engulfed them.

A deafening roar engulfed everything, leaving no time for screams, only a deathly silence of white.

Beyond the border of Iriyan, the pale earth stretches endlessly.

Buzz!

Just then.

A wave-like curtain of light tore through the void without warning.

Immediately afterwards, a figure fell heavily from the sky, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

The flying snow scattered, revealing the figure lying prone at the bottom of the pit.

It was none other than God the Father, Vance.

He slowly propped himself up, the spear in his hand, crackling with electricity, now dimmed.

His eyes were so gloomy they could almost drip water.

He first looked at the empty space beside him.

Then, he raised his head and looked up at the towering, lifeless tree that blotted out the sky in this space.

One of the gold leaves is suddenly dimming in an irreversible manner.

Until finally, it completely lost its luster.

"Dara is dead—"

Vance reached down and removed the dog-shaped magic tool from his face, revealing a face that was indescribably ferocious.

The Dog (戌) magical artifact has no offensive capabilities; it only has one ability: protection.

Unfortunately, this protective ability is most useful for the user; it is much less effective against others.

Although he had just put on the Dog-Eating Magic Tool in time and activated the remaining array, teleporting into the Otherworld of Iriyan.

But it was still too late.

Under the influence of that talisman's beam of light.

Dara died instantly, and Koshchi's Pandora's Box was lost.

"Yu Kingdom—Yu Family—Yuxia Grotto—I will make you pay the price you deserve!"

Vance looked at the few remaining golden leaves on the tree and murmured to himself.

a few days later.

In the Hu family's spacious reception room, light streamed obliquely through the carved window frames, casting long shadows on the furnishings.

The two sat on one side, while Hu Lin, the head of the Hu family, stood respectfully to the side, his expression revealing a hint of restraint.

One of the two was a boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The boy had a very faint scar on his face, almost imperceptible unless you looked closely.

He was holding a game console in his arms, his fingers flying across the buttons, his expression focused like that of a teenager deeply engrossed in an online game.

The other was a young woman with her hair tied high in a ponytail.

Her face was ordinary, and she wouldn't stand out in a crowd, but her eyes were a dark gold color, and under the light, they subtly shimmered with an unusual luster, making her look quite extraordinary.

If Hu Long were here, he would recognize this person as none other than the Ji family's Blood Exchange Master who fought against Bai Yao when the Hu family was attacked last time.

Hu Lin stood to one side, looking slightly restrained, his hands unconsciously clasped in front of him.

"My lord, this is what happened. On that day, a powerful figure descended upon this place, and everyone who approached that spot died."

As for the rest, we have absolutely no way of knowing.

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on Hu Lin's face.

Upon hearing this, the woman, Ji Xiguang, did not answer immediately.

She flipped through a stack of documents, scanning each line with a glimpse of light, her expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

A moment later, she turned to the last page of the document and casually placed it on the table beside her.

She gazed intently at Hu Lin, her dark golden pupils seemingly able to pierce through his heart.

"Then you guys are quite lucky."

Her voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"The cities that were attacked earlier, along with the clan members guarding them, suffered heavy casualties, with most of them not escaping unscathed, and some even being completely wiped out."

But when it came to your Hu family, nothing happened; only some ordinary people and a few members of the family died.

As he spoke, a trace of the aura belonging to a Blood Transformation Master quietly spread out, like a mountain pressing down, enveloping Hu Lin.

Hu Lin's facial muscles stiffened slightly, and then he arched his back even further.

He forced a smile.

"No, no, it's probably because that thing was wary of its superior's protection that it didn't continue its attack."

"Flattery and sycophancy."

At this moment, the boy who had been playing the game turned his gaze away from the game console, glanced at Hu Lin beside him, and sneered disdainfully.

Hu Lin's fawning smile remained unchanged, though a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he did not utter a word in rebuttal.

"I'm just telling the truth. If it weren't for the protection of my superiors, my Hu family might have been wiped out last time."

He added in a low voice.

"You should also be aware of how dangerous that thing is."

Ji Xiguang withdrew her aura, her tone returning to its usual calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Any discoveries must be reported immediately."

"Please rest assured, sir, we will report any discoveries immediately!"

Hu Lin bowed and responded, his attitude extremely respectful.

Subsequently, escorted by Hu Lin, the group arrived at the entrance of the Hu family's main courtyard.

The car was already prepared and parked below the steps.

Ji Xiguang and the boy got into the car one after the other, and the car door closed with a dull thud.

Under Hu Lin's watchful gaze, the car slowly started, drove out of the courtyard gate, and gradually disappeared along the road.

Only when the car turned a corner in the distance and completely disappeared from sight did Hu Lin's fawning smile, which had lasted for so long, gradually fade away.

He stood in front of the gate, a gentle breeze blowing, swirling a few fallen leaves past his feet.

A look of seriousness appeared in his eyes. His gaze unconsciously swept over a certain area around him before he turned around and stepped into the depths of the Hu family compound.

"Third Aunt, are we just leaving like this?"

On the bus, young Ji Chang put down his game console, turned to look at Ji Xiguang to the side, and asked with a hint of confusion.

"You didn't actually believe that guy's nonsense, did you? I've read the intelligence on the Hu family. Something's really wrong with them; they're clearly hiding something from us."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiguang, who was leaning back in her chair deep in thought, slowly turned her head.

She glanced at Ji Chang expressionlessly, then reached out and accurately pinched the boy's ear, twisting it hard.

"Ji Chang, how many times have I told you? Don't call me Third Aunt in public."

"Hiss—Third Aunt, no, no, Third Sister! I was wrong!"

Ji Chang felt a sharp pain in his ear, his face contorted in pain, and he quickly begged for mercy.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his earlobe loosen, and the hand was withdrawn.

He rubbed his ears in pain, wincing, but dared not utter a word of anger.

"If there's a next time, the outcome won't be so simple."

Ji Xiguang said calmly, as he turned to look at the street scene flashing past the car window.

She is actually over sixty years old.

Among ordinary people, he would be considered an old man.

There's nothing wrong with calling her "auntie".

However, because she was a master of blood transfusion, her appearance did not change much.

The lifespan of a master blood transfusion expert is as high as three hundred years. By this standard, she is at most equivalent to an ordinary person in their twenties, in the prime of their youth.

"knew----"

Ji Chang muttered softly, his face twitching slightly.

He really couldn't understand why women were so concerned about age.

If it were him, he'd be more than happy if someone called him "Dad."

Of course, he would never dare to say those words again.

Because speaking out will only get you beaten.

He couldn't beat his third aunt, given her strength.

In terms of seniority, he was not as senior as the other party, and after thinking it over, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

The car quickly drove away from Yantai City.

At Ji Xiguang's command, it slowly came to a stop near the roadside.

As the engine shut off, the surroundings quieted down, with only the occasional chirping of birds in the distance.

Ji Xiguang turned her head and gave instructions to the person in the driver's seat.

"Xiaosong, take Ji Chang back first. I have some things to take care of."

In the driver's seat, a smartly dressed woman in her twenties wearing glasses nodded slightly and responded crisply.

"Yes."

"Third Sister."

"6

Ji Changgang, who was standing to the side, was about to call her Third Aunt, but when he noticed Ji Xiguang's gaze, he immediately changed his words and wisely changed his address.

Where are you going? Can I come with you?

"no."

Ji Xiguang waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"You're too weak, and you haven't awakened your dragon blood yet. If something really happens, I won't be able to help you."

After saying that, she opened the car door, and in a flash, she transformed into a black line invisible to the naked eye, heading into the distance.

Seeing this, Ji Chang reached out and grabbed the car door handle, wanting to get out of the car.

However, he felt the gaze of a bespectacled woman named Xiaosong standing next to him.

He could only refocus his attention on his game console.

He knew that if he persisted, the other party would definitely contact Ji Xiguang immediately.

In a dark, dark, and secluded room.

In the center, a beam of crimson-gold light flowed, making the four walls shine.

At first glance, it was clearly a human figure.

Its skin was as clear as glass, almost transparent, with exceptionally thick and twisted veins beneath it, and its golden bones, faintly glowing with precious light, were clearly visible.

Streams of crimson-gold blood gushed and flowed through his veins, like molten lava from the earth, dull and intense.

"call!"

Hu Long took a light breath.

In an instant, the air in the entire sealed room seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible giant mouth and suddenly emptied.

It transformed into a temporary vacuum zone.

next moment.

A white mist, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, burst forth from his mouth, condensing into a straight line. With a sharp whooshing sound, it crashed into the wall in the distance, causing the secret chamber to tremble slightly.

It was exhaled along with the breath.

The surging blood and qi around his body, along with the strange phenomenon, quickly subsided and he returned to normal.

A thought struck him, and his gaze fell on the semi-transparent light screen that appeared before him.

The panel has changed significantly compared to before.

However, the most obvious result is that after the fifteenth level of the Blood Transformation Chapter, the Heavenly Man's Free Heart Sutra, reached the Blood Transformation Perfection and merged with the Wild Bull Moving Mountain Record, it unsurprisingly gained another special characteristic.

"Jadeite Elixir!?"

From a third-person perspective, Hu Long felt the blood within his body; his bone marrow was like jade, and his blood was like pure gold.

Compared to the previous fraction of pale golden blood, the golden blood within it is now not only deeper in color, but also resembles agate—

The blood was almost split in half.

If we say that the characteristic of the skin-smoothing mirror is that the glass-like membrane is an impenetrable barrier.

Therefore, the Jade Marrow Heavenly Elixir of the Blood Exchange Realm is the Eternal Spring.

The importance of blood is self-evident; it is the key to sustaining life.

At this moment, the vitality in his blood was terrifyingly vigorous.

If an ordinary person were to ingest a drop of his blood, they would likely live a long and healthy life, provided they could digest the energy in the blood; otherwise, they would only be bursting to death.

According to his current lifespan estimation, he can live for at least three thousand years.

Besides.

He could clearly feel his body gradually strengthening, not yet reaching its limit.

The combination of the four characteristics is causing Hu Long's current life level to begin to change in a peculiar direction.

Hu Long had a premonition that if another of these characteristics were added, his body would likely undergo a more profound change.

suddenly.

Hu Long's gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at a certain spot, his eyes seemingly able to penetrate the walls and see the outside world.
