Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The primordial energy consumed by the flower snake is the fifth-grade, third-level [Mysterious Unity Energy].

It belongs to the Wood element and possesses spiritual energy.

Her cultivation level returned, causing Jiang Chuan's realm to directly advance to the third stage of Qi Refining.

Furthermore, he also gained access to several spells she had cultivated over a hundred years.

Jiang Chuan raised his hand, and a three-colored light bloomed from his fingertips.

Azure and silver intertwined and flowed, while a third ray of dark gold light flickered between them.

The three-colored light surged at his fingertips, emitting a strange fluctuation that slightly distorted the surrounding void.

Measuring the light of the sky.

This divine power has now been entirely transformed into his own methods.

He withdrew his finger, intending to continue to comprehend the deeper uses of this wondrous technique, when a thought he had never had before suddenly flashed through his mind.

In terms of spiritual practice, he was merely a latecomer to the path.

From the time he embarked on the path of immortality until now, it has been less than two and a half years.

During this period, he spent most of his time in the alchemy room, and very little time was actually spent on cultivation.

His current level of attainment is not due to superior talent in cultivation.

It's not about asceticism.

Instead, it's a shortcut through the Starry Sky Treasure Mirror, allowing you to share the cultivation level of your servants.

But the flower snake is different.

This person is a cultivation genius, one in a million.

To survive in the outer sect, a place that devours people without spitting out the bones, and even rise to the position of vice president of the Heyin Association, is not just due to a little bit of cunning and caution.

Her foundation in cultivation was so solid, and her understanding of the techniques so profound, that it was far beyond what Jiang Chuan, a half-baked practitioner, could match.

What if we let her improve the Blood God Transformation Technique?

That's not all...

He could easily gather all the servants to study this technique together and pool their wisdom!

As the saying goes, three cobblers can outwit one Zhuge Liang.

As long as there are enough people.

They always manage to find a solution.

At least.

It's also better than him racking his brains to figure it out by himself!

Jiang Chuan immediately raised his hand and imprinted a divine thought into the flower snake's sea of ​​consciousness.

The snake's body trembled, a look of confusion flashing in its alluring phoenix eyes, followed by deep shock: "This is a secret technique that can elevate the grade of one's primordial Qi!?"

Having cultivated for over a hundred years, she understands better than anyone what the grade of primordial Qi means.

The innate spiritual energy refined during the practice of breathing exercises directly determines a cultivator's potential for future foundation building.

She had already demonstrated exceptional talent by cultivating Qi to the fifth level of the Xuan Tong Qi.

After three subsequent refinements, the primordial Qi was elevated to the fourth rank, third stage.

It also depleted all the savings she had accumulated in Heyin.

And now, the secret technique bestowed by Jiang Chuan can actually forcibly improve the grade of the primordial Qi by sacrificing living beings with blood!

If this gets out, the entire Immortal Alliance will go crazy!

"This method is incomplete."

Jiang Chuan spoke calmly, frankly explaining the flaws of the Blood God Transformation Technique.

"What I want you to do is to use this secret technique as a foundation, combined with the Star Mirror's system of enslavement, to create a new method that can bypass the blood sacrifice process."

After listening, the agitation on Hua She's face gradually subsided. She pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Master, do you mean... to replace the bloodline with the mark of enslavement?"

"good."

A hint of approval flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

He was right about him.

As expected of a cultivation genius, Hua She grasped the core of the problem immediately after hearing only his basic ideas.

"If this method can be successfully improved, the master can use the low-grade spiritual energy consumed by the servants to achieve victory by sheer quantity and forcefully create a high-grade primordial energy."

The Flower Snake nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "Low-grade spiritual energy is readily available in the Myriad Immortals Mirror and is inexpensive. If this method can truly be implemented, let alone fourth-grade or third-grade spiritual energy, even the legendary second-grade and first-grade..."

She gasped for breath halfway through her sentence.

Jiang Chuan said, "From today onwards, you shall concentrate on studying this matter. I will find you some helpers later."

"Yes, Master!"

The flower snake immediately agreed.

The next two weeks.

Jiang Chuan mobilized all available resources under his command.

The Flower Snake is responsible for the deduction of the cultivation system.

She is at the third level of Qi Refining, and is also proficient in Wood Element Techniques. She has the most thorough understanding of the core theory of the Blood God Transformation Technique.

Yun Danzi was responsible for the pharmacological aspects of the collaboration.

Having immersed himself in alchemy for over a hundred years, he is intimately familiar with the mutual generation and restraint of spiritual materials and medicinal properties. The issue of matching spiritual energy properties involved in the Blood God Transformation Great Method can be precisely analyzed using alchemy theory.

As for the others, although Cui Chenghua's cultivation level was not high, he had followed Hua She in the outer sect for so many years and had the widest network of connections among all sorts of people, so he was in charge of intelligence gathering.

He was responsible for errands and inquiries about any unorthodox materials needed to improve the techniques or any theories that needed to be verified.

Jiang Chuan himself took charge of overall coordination, receiving daily updates from all parties.

The breakthroughs achieved in different directions corroborate each other.

Cross-validation.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Flower Snake suddenly requested an audience. When she entered the alchemy room, she held a jade slip in both hands, and her foxy face showed a rare hint of nervousness.

"Master, I have not failed you!"

Jiang Chuan took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of undisguised surprise flashing deep in his pupils.

It became.

The improvement plan proposed by Hua She was far more ingenious than he had originally envisioned.

Not only did it completely replace the blood sacrifice step, it also perfectly preserved the idea of ​​stacking multiple streams of the same spiritual energy to upgrade their grade.

Jiang Chuan closed the jade slip, looked up at the flower snake, and said, "You have done a good job. From today onwards, you will take over Yun Danzi's alchemy room."

The snake shuddered, and for the first time, a look of genuine, unbridled joy appeared on its face.

Although Yun Danzi's alchemy room is only classified as a Class C alchemy room, it is still a genuine business of earth fire alchemists.

Jiang Chuan's decision to entrust this place to her management was not only an affirmation of her abilities, but also a direct grant of real authority to her.

"Thank you for the gift, Master!"

She kowtowed deeply.

Get up.

Jiang Chuan waved his hand, "Now is not the time to reward merits. Go and do something for me first."

The snake immediately suppressed its joy and sat up straight.

"Now that you are the vice president of the Heyin Association, you should have quite a few people under your command."

Jiang Chuan's gaze fell on her, his tone indifferent: "I need you to find a group of suitable cultivators from the Heyin Society. There are no restrictions on cultivation level; body tempering or qi absorption are both acceptable. The only requirement is that they must be practitioners of fire magic and have not yet absorbed qi."

The flower snake instantly understood his intention.

"Does the master intend to use these people as the first batch of experimental subjects for condensing primordial qi?"

"Not bad." Jiang Chuan nodded. "Theory alone is not enough; it also needs to be tested in practice. Go and do it now, the sooner the better. Remember, choose those with average qualifications who won't be held accountable even if they die. Don't attract anyone's attention."

The flower snake accepted the order and left.

Jiang Chuan, using Cui Chenghua's name and his connections with a few trusted confidants, summoned all of Cui's cronies.

These people were the most inconspicuous members of the outer sect.

His cultivation level is not high, and his aptitude is mediocre.

However, its advantage lies in its large quantity.

There were nearly thirty people in total.

The two groups combined numbered over fifty.

Jiang Chuan then scanned the Myriad Immortals Mirror.

The ninth grade, second level, Qi in the furnace.

This Qi is the fire spirit energy that naturally condenses from alchemy furnaces, smelting furnaces, and stoves. Because of its low grade and impure spirituality, almost no cultivators are willing to use it to absorb Qi, and over time it has become unwanted trash.

But precisely because of this, its price is outrageously low.

A single [Furnace Qi] only requires 600 contribution points.

Jiang Chuan swept away all the furnace qi for sale on the Wanxian Mirror.

Through Yun Danzi's channels, they also acquired a considerable amount of alchemy from various alchemy workshops on Yuanling Mountain.

It cost less than 30,000 contribution points in total.

Then they made a total of fifty dishes.

He then summoned all his disciples to a cave dwelling under the name of Flower Snake.

More than fifty disciples filled the cave.

Jiang Chuan stood in front of everyone.

Not a single word wasted.

The Starry Sky Mirror behind his head shone brightly, and warm starlight surged from the center of the mirror like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire cave.

Wherever the starlight passed, the unease or bewilderment on the faces of those disciples froze in an instant.

Their eyes went from confusion to emptiness, and then from that emptiness, a devout light shone again.

"Greetings, Master!"

More than fifty people knelt down in unison, their voices echoing through the cave.

Jiang Chuan waved his hand again, and the radiance of the Starry Sky Mirror enveloped the cave, the [Deceive Heaven] effect silently unfolding.

All deductive methods at the Foundation Establishment stage and below are unable to penetrate this barrier and perceive what is happening here.

He withdrew his gaze and channeled fifty streams of [Furnace Qi] into the bodies of those disciples one by one.

"Refine it."

He said it calmly.

More than fifty disciples immediately sat down cross-legged.

The refining process of the Qi in the furnace is not complicated. This Qi is the most inferior fire spirit Qi, with mixed spirituality and almost no ability to resist on its own.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, streaks of dark red flame rose from the group, illuminating the entire cave like a furnace.

Jiang Chuan's gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on a thin young disciple.

This person's name is Zhu Yan.

He was one of the group of cronies that Ma Yuankui had introduced to him.

His qualifications are mediocre.

Even within the outer sect, very few people knew his name.

Jiang Chuan chose him as the first subject to be devoured precisely because of his ordinariness.

The more common.

The more valuable the experimental results are, the better.

"start."

Jiang Chuan gazed at him calmly.

Zhu Yan sat cross-legged in the center, surrounded by the other forty-nine people in a circle.

Hua She stood beside Jiang Chuan, holding a jade slip in her hands, recording every detail that occurred during the experiment.

The first person stepped forward.

He sat opposite Zhu Yan, his palms touching Zhu Yan's palms.

The improved Blood God Transformation Technique was running simultaneously in both of their bodies. Two dark red primordial energies met in their meridians and then began to devour each other in a strange way.

The man's body shrank visibly, and the dark red flames surging around him dimmed and died out little by little, as if the fuel had been drained.

A moment later, he turned into a withered shell, lying stiffly on the ground, lifeless.

The Qi emanating from Zhu Yan's body was slightly more intense in color than before.

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly.

the second.

The third.

the fifth.

The rate of consumption is increasing.

The Qi within Zhu Yan's body was undergoing a transformation at a visible speed, under the accumulation of one stream of the same spiritual energy after another.

The dark red flames, initially murky and mixed, gradually became pure and clear.

When the tenth person arrived.

The grade of that spiritual energy has jumped from the ninth grade, second level to the eighth grade, first level.

The snake's voice rang out at the right moment: "Master, the deduction in the first stage matches perfectly, without the slightest deviation."

"continue."

The eleventh person stepped forward.

This time, the process of absorption was noticeably slower than before.

After Zhu Yan's primordial energy reached the eighth rank, the refining time required for each wisp of spiritual energy of the same origin to be absorbed was longer than before.

However, the improvement after each absorption is also more obvious.

Rank 8, Level 1

Rank 8, Second Tier

Rank 7, Tier 3...

When the twentieth person fell, the flames around Zhu Yan had completely faded from their mottled dark red and transformed into a pure, almost transparent, bright red.

The spiritual energy was steadily at the seventh rank, first level, and the scorching heat it emitted caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.

The snake-like creature quickly took notes, a barely concealed excitement appearing on its foxy face: "Seventh Rank!"

"continue."

Jiang Chuan's voice remained calm.

The twenty-first person stepped forward.

Time slowly passed in the cave, swallowed up in a dull, oppressive atmosphere.

One by one, the disciples whose vital energy had been drained collapsed, their corpses piling up in the corner of the cave like a silent stack of firewood.

As the thirtieth person fell, Zhu Yan finally let out a muffled groan, and the flames around his body suddenly surged, with a bright red radiance condensing into a phantom flame above his head.

The illusory flames surged and boiled, and the high temperature they emitted burned fine cracks into the stone slabs on the ground.

Rank 6, Level 4.

The forty-ninth person fell.

At this moment, the flames surrounding Zhu Yan, after being devoured forty-nine times, finally solidified completely.

The flame burned quietly in his dantian, emanating a terrifying aura that made everyone present feel uneasy.

Rank 3, Tier 4!

Jiang Chuan nodded slowly: "That's fine."

He was not satisfied with the original Qi of the third and fourth grades.

After the Blood God Transformation Technique was refined and unified, the upper limit of the Qi in this furnace was locked, and it could no longer be improved in any way.

At the third rank and fourth level, he barely qualifies for Foundation Establishment.

But what he wants is not just foundation building.

but.

This established primordial energy is not entirely useless.

In the improved Blood God Transformation Technique, it can also be used as material to be devoured by a higher-level devouring entity.

"If I could refine a few more of the third-grade and fourth-level furnace qi, I could devour them all at once."

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes. "By then, a second-rank is within reach, and a first-rank might not be impossible!"

He raised his head.

His gaze swept over the pile of shriveled corpses in the corner of the cave.

"Clean it up thoroughly, leave no trace," he ordered, then got up and walked out of the cave. "Flower Snake, go and find me more candidates."
