A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Over the next few days.

During the day, Chen Yang studied the "Golden Dragon Blood Refining Technique" in the Enlightenment Hall, and at night he returned to his dormitory to study various different movements with Liu Qingxia!

As for Liu Qingxia, her strength is increasing rapidly every day!

As jar after jar of Soul-Devouring Demon Liquid was poured into her stomach, it transformed into pure spiritual energy, frantically washing over her meridians, and her strength soared like a rocket!

However, the faster Liu Qingxia's strength improved, the stronger her needs became, to the point that even with Chen Yang's already excellent physique, he felt he couldn't keep up!

During this process, Liu Qingxia also vaguely sensed that something was wrong—although she was insatiable, she did not suffer from kidney deficiency. On the contrary, it was as if she had taken a top-grade tonic. Even the Vermilion Bird bloodline talent in her body was further stimulated!

This is really strange.

On the fifth day, Chen Yang sat in the Enlightenment Hall, snapped the book "Golden Dragon Blood Refining Technique" shut, and couldn't help but sigh in frustration!

Because at this point, he had already figured out the entire extremely complex technique!

Logically speaking, as long as one understands a general cultivation method thoroughly and practices it according to the method's route, one should have already entered the entry-level stage!

But the Golden Dragon Blood Refining Technique remained completely unresponsive!

Chen Yang vaguely understood: it seems that to learn this technique, one must have the blood of a golden dragon as a catalyst!

Although he had thoroughly mastered the entire cultivation technique, he was still unable to get started without the crucial Golden Dragon Blood, let alone make any further progress!

Five days wasted for nothing!

Chen Yang was extremely frustrated: Now it was impossible to find a demon beast like the Golden Dragon. Without the blood of the Golden Dragon, he could not enter the sect. Without entering the sect, he could not improve his strength to enter the Golden Body Realm. That meant that he really couldn't handle the beautiful and demanding Liu Qingxia!

I am currently in the prime of my youth.

Why must one end up like the poet described in the poem, gazing at the stream in vain and shedding tears?

Just then, a group of boys and girls in the distance were gossiping quietly:

"Did you hear that? The dean's pet beast ate two students again this morning!"

"I heard about it too! Those two boys are pretty good students in our college. Apparently, they were secretly dating, but they were too ashamed to hold hands openly on campus, so they went to the mountains to find a secluded spot to play games, and ended up being eaten for breakfast by that money python!"

"Tell me, how many students has this python eaten in the last two months? Why isn't the dean doing anything about it?"

"You wish! The dean dotes on his pet! I heard that this python is suffering from postpartum depression after laying eggs and giving birth to baby pythons, so the dean barely pays attention to it anymore. As long as it stays in the mountains and doesn't enter the campus, the dean pretends not to see it!"

"Our Dean Zhao is notoriously ruthless! The deaths of two students are nothing compared to the importance of his pet!"

"We must never go near the mountains again, it's too dangerous!"

"That's for sure! That golden python is at least equivalent to a cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm. If we students go in, we're just asking to be eaten alive!"

Upon hearing the students' discussion, Chen Yang first frowned slightly, then a thought suddenly struck him!

A money python? A golden dragon?

Both of these creatures have "gold" in their names and are both snakes; they might be related by blood!

Chen Yang's eyes lit up instantly. Unable to contain himself any longer, he strode towards the group of students who were discussing the matter and asked, "Where is the golden python you're talking about?"

The boy next to Chen Yang's face instantly contorted with hatred upon seeing him!

However, after Wang Duobao was scared out of his wits by Chen Yang's gaze last time, no student dared to openly provoke Chen Yang again!

Several girls actually had a good impression of Chen Yang – after all, Chen Yang had won over both of the school beauties, Liu Qingxia and Li Yalan, which made many boys in the school stop being obsessed with the school beauties and start to look at ordinary girls like them more seriously!

A girl spoke up, pointing to two hills in the distance, "Those are the two hills in our academy! The dean specially designated them to house his pets!"

"In the past, the dean's golden python was somewhat feared and didn't harm students much. But in the last two months, its temper has become increasingly volatile, and incidents of it injuring people have occurred frequently! Chen Yang, you've just entered the campus, so please don't go into those mountains and forests!"

Chen Yang quickly thanked him and then quietly left the Hall of Enlightenment!

Within the academy, the area around the two hills was desolate. Only after crossing a large expanse of wasteland could one officially enter the mountains!

Now that there are frequent incidents of pythons injuring people, even fewer students dare to go near them!

After looking around to make sure no one was there, Chen Yang immediately used the Shadowless Wind Step and rushed into the mountain in a flash!

At the same time, he unleashed his concealment and detection technique to its maximum to locate the money python!

These two mountains cover several hundred hectares, which is huge for ordinary people, but for cultivators in the Blood Exchange Realm, it's just like an amusement park!

Chen Yang quickly detected a powerful aura of a demonic beast emanating from the lake between the two mountains!

He approached silently, hid behind a boulder, and looked towards the lake!

Not long after, the surface of the lake churned, and then a golden python, more than 20 meters long and as thick as a water bucket, emerged from the lake!

It was enormous, with hard scales that had subtly evolved on its body, and patterns on its body that looked like copper coins—it was the Money Python!

Scattered along the lake shore were many skeletons, which looked like the remains of human cultivators. They should be the bones of the students who were swallowed by the Golden Python!

When Chen Yang saw the appearance of the golden python, he was overjoyed!

Although this thing is far inferior to a real golden dragon demon beast, it has definitely evolved a part of the golden dragon bloodline!

Using this snake's blood for cultivation would definitely be enough to get me started with the "Golden Dragon Blood Refining Technique"!

His detection technique circled the golden python, carefully sensing its surroundings, and he quickly confirmed that the python's strength had indeed reached the eighth level of the Golden Body Realm! In addition, it was a demon beast, with formidable combat power, thick skin and flesh, and astonishing strength, making its true combat power far exceed that of a human cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm!

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then instead of taking immediate action, he quietly retreated and left the mountainous area!

When he returned to the dormitory, Liu Qingxia was still meditating cross-legged, with more than ten jars of Soul Devouring Demon Liquid left beside her!

Seeing Chen Yang return early, Liu Qingxia asked curiously, "It's not even dark yet, why are you back already? Did you miss me? But doing that kind of thing in broad daylight makes me quite shy."

Chen Yang quickly waved his hands: "Stop, stop, stop! My wife, please let me go! I have something to do tonight!"

Liu Qingxia covered her mouth and laughed, casually asking, "What's up?"

Chen Yang recounted his plan to hunt the Golden Python and extract its blood for cultivation!

Liu Qingxia was stunned for a moment, then her expression instantly turned serious: "You said you're going to hunt down the Dean's pet monster, the Golden Coin Python? Chen Yang, you'd better be careful! Our Dean Zhao Jianping is a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Body Realm, or even at the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm. He's extremely powerful!"

"Moreover, he's from the Zhao family of the Prime Minister's residence, so he must possess top-tier treasures! If he discovers that you hunted his pet beast, we probably won't be able to stay in the capital, and we might even face death!"

Chen Yang lowered his head and kissed Liu Qingxia's forehead, reassuring her, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! You continue cultivating, and wait for me to come back!"

As night fell, Chen Yang once again stealthily slipped into the mountains!

He first carefully sensed the surroundings, making a round of the mountain area to confirm that Dean Zhao Jianping was not nearby. Only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief and quickly head towards the lake between the two mountains!

Chen Yang quickly discovered that the golden python in the lake was sleeping underwater!

He jumped lightly and landed on the lakeside, deliberately making footsteps!

Sure enough, the lake water churned violently the next moment, and the huge python suddenly emerged from the water, looking at Chen Yang with a hint of doubt in its eyes—it didn't expect that there would be students daring to come here so late at night!

Chen Yang glanced at the python and deliberately cursed, "Holy crap! What is that thing? What an ugly little snake!"

After saying that, Chen Yang quickly retreated!

The python was instantly enraged, and its body twisted and sprang forward with a "whoosh," chasing after Chen Yang!

Chen Yang ran several hundred meters until he was far enough away from the lake, then stopped dodging and suddenly waved his hand: "Whoosh!"

The Five Elements Universe Ring in his hand flew out instantly!

The golden python opened its blood-red maw, about to swallow Chen Yang whole, when in the next moment, the Five Elements Universe Ring emitted five-colored light and "hummed" as it directly encircled the seven-inch mark below the golden python's head!

"Buzz—"

The Five Elements Universe Ring rapidly contracted, instantly locking the Money Python tightly in place!

The python writhed and struggled in agony, trying to hiss but unable to make a sound, trying to flick its tongue but unable to open its mouth at all!

Its enormous body kept twisting and coiling, but the Five Elements Universe Ring was so powerful that the Money Python couldn't break free!

Chen Yang waved his hand towards the air, and the huge black iron griffin flew down with a "whoosh"!

The griffin spread its two enormous claws and suddenly grabbed the money python!

Chen Yang jumped onto the griffin's back. "Let's go!"

"boom!"

The griffin flapped its huge wings, carrying Chen Yang and the golden python swiftly into the night sky, flying over Wanxing Academy, and arriving directly in the desolate outskirts outside the capital!

After landing, the Black Iron Griffin was panting heavily on the side!

This python is indeed very heavy.

Without a word, Chen Yang drew his Thundercloud Sword and swiftly slashed down at the head of the Golden Python!

"Snap!"

Although the scales on the Golden Python's body were incredibly tough, it was now firmly locked by the Five Elements Universe Ring and was completely unable to resist!

A few minutes later, Chen Yang chopped off the snake's head!

Then, he gulped down a bellyful of the golden python's blood, and took out a wooden bucket to put all the remaining golden python blood into it!

Then, Chen Yang took off his clothes, soaked in the wooden tub, and began to circulate the "Golden Dragon Blood Refining Technique"!

Two hours later!

Chen Yang felt his blood boil!

"boom!"

With a loud bang in his bloodline, his strength broke through to the peak of the ninth level of the Blood Exchange Realm!

At that moment, Chen Yang's system panel also "dinged" and issued a notification:

[Ding! You have mastered the basics of the Golden Dragon Blood Refining Technique!]
