The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"Mid-grade Earth-rank Heavenly Gang Blood Qi Pill, one for each person, please take it."

Chi Miao scattered all the pills in his hand into the air, using his spiritual power to distribute them to everyone. Everyone caught them, a hint of curiosity flashing in their eyes.

"What is this?"

Chi Miao looked at You Ying: "The good stuff he gave us, especially now, the Heavenly Gang Blood Qi Pill can accelerate blood flow, increase the absorption rate of any medicinal bath by about 20%, and reduce side effects."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"That's so good?"

This stuff came at just the right time. It increases the absorption rate of the medicinal bath while reducing side effects, which will definitely double the benefits they get from the Bloodline Spring.

Jin Shengfei: "Looking at it this way, not all demons are bad."

Ying Wuhu shook his head: "He is a half-demon, with half-human blood flowing through his veins."

Youying was already inside the Bloodline Spring at this time. Although she heard these words clearly, she did not refute them.

Once everything was ready, everyone began to use their unique abilities to create a new layer of protection for themselves before choosing a Bloodline Spring and entering it.

Chi Miao chose the bloodline spring from which he had previously cooked the Soul-Devouring Serpent Young Master.

First, this stuff is genuinely disgusting, and most people wouldn't want it, but she has a strong mental fortitude. As long as she's told it can improve her strength, she won't mind even if it's corpse water; she can soak in it.

Secondly, the Soul-Devouring Serpents are beasts with decent bloodlines, and their entire bodies are treasures. Especially after being soaked in the Bloodline Spring, the young master of the Soul-Devouring Serpents is almost transforming into a dragon.

After the Jiao comes the Dragon, and the Jiao's body is even more precious.

It dies inside, and after boiling it a few more times, it can be refined, which will further enhance the effects of the Blood Spring. Just thinking about it is a luxury.

I want to soak, I love soaking, I soak every day.

The others had been soaking for quite some time, surrounded by agonizing screams.

After making some preparations, Chi Miao closed his eyes and immediately executed a perfect dive with a pre-dive maneuver.

Everyone: "Chi Miao, stop—!"

But it was too late for them to say it.

Chi Miao had already jumped into the Blood Vein Spring, creating splashes of water.

Everyone: "..."

"hiss--!!!"

Chi Miao let out a painful gasp, as if his whole body had been beaten by the Blood Spring, his muscles tensed up in pain, and his mind almost went blank.

pain!

Aside from the pain, Chi Miao could hardly feel anything else.

The pain felt like every pore on my body was being roughly ripped open, and lava of thousands of degrees was being poured in, trying to boil me from the outside in, causing excruciating pain.

Jin Shengfei: "I told you not to be so impulsive."

Chi Miao quickly adapted to the pain and felt herself getting better little by little.

"No wonder the Soul-Devouring Serpent smelled sweet shortly after it came in. If we hadn't made so many preparations beforehand, we probably would have ended up in the same situation as it."

"This incredible penetrating power... I can't even imagine putting some scallions, ginger, garlic, and seasonings in it and using it to make hot pot. How flavorful and fragrant it would be!"

Everyone couldn't help but criticize her after hearing this:

"Wow, isn't that pretty audacious of you?!"

Who's so nice to be thinking about hot pot when they're practically boiling over themselves?!

Clearly, Chi Miao was doing more than just thinking about it.

Her next move shocked everyone and they started cursing.

She channeled her spiritual power, lifted the body of the Soul-Devouring Serpent Master, and placed it in her hand.

Then... she quickly began to peel off the scales!

"What...what are you doing now?!"

Chi Miao: "I figured I was just idling around anyway, and my physical strength is enough to keep up and hold on. This Soul-Devouring Serpent is almost transforming into a dragon, and its whole body is full of treasures. I'll pluck all its scales and make armor for you guys."

As she spoke, she pulled even harder.

This scene startled everyone, especially the Black Moon Yama clan, who all gasped in shock.

"abnormal!!"

You're making it seem stupid that they're doing everything they can to resist the Bloodline Fountain!

They knew Chi Miao was strong, but they didn't expect his physical body to be so terrifying.

Besides Chi Miao, Jin Shengfei, Ying Wuhuo, and Jingming are also in relatively good condition.

Through Chi Miao's research, the Heavenly Flow Waterfall increased the physical strength of the Nine Swords Mountain disciples several times over, while Jingming came from the Golden Buddha Temple, which was known as having the best physical body in the world.

Having trained since childhood, his physical strength is probably unmatched even by Chi Miao.

Seeing that Chi Miao was making efforts, they also began to adapt as quickly as possible and started meditating.

Yu Wuxin gritted her teeth, her envious eyes almost red, and cried out in a complaining tone, "I need an awesome physical training tutorial! Why doesn't my Qin Sect have any body-training methods?!"

Chi Miao: "What else? Do you want a muscular man playing the zither?"

Yu Wuxin thought about that scene and choked up instantly.

I think I'll pass; aesthetics are more important.

Bow down to evil forces.

Apart from a few with strong physical bodies, almost everyone else devoted themselves wholeheartedly to resisting the erosion of the Bloodline Spring.

Currently, they haven't felt any significant improvement; they can only feel a burning sensation all over their bodies and their blood and qi flowing wildly.

At the same time, Chi Miao had already plucked all the scales off the Soul-Devouring Serpent. She also cut the serpent's body into pieces and put them all into the Blood Vein Spring.

Everyone: "?"

"You're really going to cook?"

Chi Miao licked her lips: "Otherwise what?"

Everyone: "...Awesome."

This is making the best use of resources.

They apologized for having felt that Chi Miao was cruel for a few moments in the past.

Chi Miao was too reserved with them, who were also human.

At least they didn't suffer the same fate as that snake colonel, dying a painful death only to be turned into the bottom of a pot.

When Chi Miao added the Soul-Devouring Serpent into the Bloodline Spring, the Bloodline Spring indeed became stronger, allowing Chi Miao to clearly feel that his physical body was rapidly becoming stronger.

Moreover, there was a faint golden hue covering her body.

Stone Buddha: "..."

"You actually dare to increase the intensity? You're really not afraid of death."

Perhaps it was this fearless nature that allowed her to grow into such a terrifying being.

Immediately, the stone Buddha chuckled again: "However... this is just the appetizer; the main event is about to begin."

The Bloodline Spring's effect on the soul doesn't begin at the start, but rather after those who bathe in the spring begin to feel their physical bodies strengthen.

That was the moment they truly began to absorb the essence of their bloodline.

It was also the indomitable will remaining in those once-dominant beasts within the Bloodline Spring that began to attack these creatures that were trying to absorb them.

"Awooo—!!"

"roar!!!!"

A roar like a tiger and a dragon nearly shattered everyone's eardrums.

Even Chi Miao quickly became serious, his eyes narrowing:

"It's coming!"

A soul attack from the ferocious beasts.

In an instant, the sounds of countless ferocious beasts assaulted their souls and wills, and everyone except Chi Miao let out painful cries.

"Damn! That was a terrifying attack, my consciousness is about to dissipate!!"

"The onslaught of ten thousand beasts... No wonder that Soul-Devouring Serpent couldn't withstand it! It had to divert its spiritual power into its divine consciousness, but... once diverted, this Bloodline Spring would erupt, instantly boiling us alive!!"

Only at this moment did they truly realize how terrifying this Blood Spring was.

Chi Miao didn't react because... the remnants of those ferocious beasts' wills were directly annihilated by her lightning-type Golden Core technique as soon as they entered her consciousness.

A golden light flashed in her eyes. She bit her finger, letting the blood drip into the pre-set array.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

"Soul Splitting Array, activate!"
