99: Chapter 99 Expensive King-Level Cultivation Technique

"Heaven-Inquiring True Art": King Rank Mid-Grade Cultivation Technique, 9 layers in total.

First Layer: 500 million

Second Layer: 1.5 billion

Third Layer: 5 billion

...

Ninth Layer: 10 trillion

Chi Anlin: ...If I have to finish cultivating this, how long will it take?

This King Rank technique has no specific attribute; it can greatly increase cultivation speed and spiritual energy density, making it very suitable for his Ice Soul Battle Body.

His current Dantian is already twice the size of a cultivator in the same realm; after practicing this technique, it will expand significantly again.

He didn't have 500 million blood energy yet. Chi Anlin thought for a moment and looked at another body tempering technique.

"Nine Heavenly Thunder Refinements": King Rank Low-Grade, 9 layers in total.

First Layer: 100 million blood energy. Materials required: Heavenly Thunder True Branch (Heaven Rank Mid-Grade) or Heavenly Tribulation.

Second Layer: 500 million blood energy. Materials required: True Thunder Stone (Heaven Rank Peak-Grade)...

...

Overall, this technique relies on being electrocuted to improve one's physique. Chi Anlin felt that after he returned, he should find a power station to give it a try.

After exiting the Blood Energy Space, Chi Anlin sighed. This technique required too much blood energy; he still needed to accumulate more.

At the entrance of the cave, huge beast carcasses were being dragged over, vanishing into thin air in front of the Ant Queen.

Inside the Ant Queen's Small World, the digestion pool churned incessantly, enveloping the beast carcasses one by one.

Chi Anlin looked at the Ant Queen's small form and rubbed his chin. "There are still ways to improve Xiao Yi's world, for instance, by synthesizing it with something related to time."

Like a watch?

Chi Anlin pondered for a moment and opened the synthesis interface.

"Ding, insufficient synthesis permissions. Please upgrade the system and try again."

Chi Anlin was stunned; it actually worked.

Was this thing conceptual synthesis?

Many ideas surfaced in Chi Anlin's mind. This way, there would be many more things he could synthesize.

Could he synthesize a snake with antlers, then with tiger paws, eagle claws, and a horse's head? Could he actually create a dragon?

While he was thinking, Chi Anlin felt a peeping gaze. He looked over and saw Xiao Xing looking at him sheepishly, appearing somewhat expectant yet timid.

"What did you do this time?" Chi Anlin said suspiciously. Although hitting Xiao Xing was usually the right move when it looked like this, he couldn't help but ask.

This fellow had been wandering around since coming out instead of cultivating, yet its realm was actually catching up to the Ant Queen lately.

"Chi Big-Head, Little Mouse remembers you promised me a request!" Finally, as if making up its mind, Xiao Xing began gesturing with squeaks.

It seemed there really was such a thing. Chi Anlin recalled that back in the War God Tower, he had promised Xiao Xing a few female mice.

This wasn't difficult; he could just have the Ant Queen send some Ant Soldiers to catch a few.

"Tell me your request?"

Hearing Chi Anlin's words, Xiao Xing's eyes lit up. It hurriedly ran back into another cave and brought out a piece of paper.

On this paper, a small mouse was drawn with a white body but black limbs.

"White mouse, black stockings!"

Picking up the paper, Chi Anlin was a bit puzzled. Where did this fellow get paper?

Looking closely, there seemed to be some strange characters written on the paper.

Appraisal

[Name]: Blood Refining Method Remnant Page

[Quality]: King Rank Low-Grade

[Description]: A technique created by the Blood Devouring King. One can strengthen oneself by consuming the blood of powerful creatures.

Sensing something was wrong, Xiao Xing hurriedly prepared to flee, but was caught directly by Chi Anlin.

"Where did you get this thing?"

Following Xiao Xing's paw, Chi Anlin saw a pile of books in the corner.

These were all found by the Ant Queen earlier in the place where the Blood Devouring King was sealed, but the Ant Queen had a poor memory and forgot to tell Chi Anlin.

——————

[Name]: Polar Ice Cracked Blood Wolf

[Attribute]: Ice, Wind

[Level]: First Realm, Second Stage

[Potential]: Spirit Rank Peak-Grade

[Physique]: Ice Soul Battle Body

[Skills]:

[Ice Seal], [Gale Step], [Frost Claw], [Taijutsu], [Insight Eye], [New Moon]

[Laceration]: Passive. Claws carry a tearing effect that can destroy enemy defenses. The wounds created are difficult to heal, causing a continuous bleeding state. Simultaneously, the wolf claws can increase attack power by absorbing blood.

Xiao Yue's claws were successfully strengthened. For now, it didn't lack attack power.

After school started, Chi Anlin planned to join the Beast Taming Academy; after all, that was his original profession.

With the Heaven Rank breath concealing ring, he could start playing the pig to eat the tiger again.

Earlier in the corner, Chi Anlin had obtained many Earth Rank and even King Rank techniques; these were the treasures the Blood Devouring King carried with him.

Through questioning, Chi Anlin also learned that the Blood Devouring King died at the hands of an old man, and his space ring had been blown apart.

Fortunately for Chi Anlin, this fellow's heart was still there. Chi Anlin didn't plan to let the Blood Devouring King absorb it himself; the spiritual energy inside had become quite sparse due to the passage of time. Letting the Blood Devouring King absorb it wouldn't provide much of an upgrade, so it was better to use blood energy to synthesize it himself.

As for this heart, Chi Anlin prepared to take it back to school to complete his task.

King Rank cultivators weren't that exaggerated; at most, they wouldn't die from decapitation. Monarch Rank was more terrifying, able to regenerate from a drop of blood. Thus, with just a single heart, the Blood Devouring King could not achieve a revival.

Speaking of which, Teacher He, the Heaven Rank Expert who helped him before—her husband seemed to have died at the hands of the Blood Devouring King. He could also give Teacher He an account of things, letting her know that her great vengeance had been avenged.

As for killing the Blood Devouring King?... In a strict sense, the Blood Devouring King had already become his puppet and no longer had anything to do with the original Blood Devouring King.

Storing the heart into his space ring, Chi Anlin rode Xiao Yue out of the cave.

Currently, that beast egg had not hatched yet, and he didn't plan to wait indefinitely. If the hatched creature didn't meet his requirements, it would be a huge loss.

Since he had nothing to do right now while waiting for the Blood Devouring King and the Ice Spirit Gryphon to continue farming blood energy, he could go capture some demonic beasts for synthesis to enrich his options.

Those with better attributes could eventually be sold even if they couldn't become his tamed beasts.

Tossing Xiao Xing onto the ground to make the fellow get some exercise, Chi Anlin rode Xiao Yue and began searching for demonic beasts.

It was currently night. In the deep blue vault of heaven, countless bright stars twinkled. Chi Anlin passed through the dense forest and saw a boundless plain.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" As if sensing something, Xiao Xing's eyes lit up, and it hurriedly jumped out.

Not far ahead, a small khaki-colored mouse was holding a fruit and nibbling on it.

Chi Anlin and Xiao Yue stared speechlessly from under the bushes at the excited Xiao Xing. This fellow's lustful heart simply wouldn't die; seeing a mouse, it ran straight out without even fearing danger.

Soon, Xiao Xing reached the side of the small mouse and approached somewhat bashfully.
