The dragon-catching hand shows its power, and the contents of the blood letter are shocking

After a day and a night of diligent Cultivation, Shen Fan's progress in Cultivating the Dragon Capturing Hand was astonishingly fast, achieving results comparable to months of hard training in the secular world.

One must know that this was the path of immortal Cultivation, by no means comparable to the secular world.

Therefore, this speed was understandable.

Although the Dragon Capturing Hand Cultivation Technique originated from the secular world, it had been improved and refined by cultivators.

Shen Fan completed the first half of its Cultivation in just one day, which showed his talent and effort.

The next morning, Shen Fan went out to Cultivate as usual.

The operation of the Heavenly Spirit Five Elements Art drew in the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

This was an indispensable daily Cultivation.

Although his talent was not good, being only a first-grade Five Elements mixed Spiritual Root, even though he now had the path of a Body Cultivator to follow, a Spell Cultivator was still the Righteous Path!

As dawn broke through the morning mist, the accumulated fire poison was gradually cleared today.

His Spiritual Root, as thin as a sheep's intestine, absorbed Spiritual Qi, making Shen Fan's Cultivation progress as slow as a tortoise.

"This won't do!" Shen Fan secretly worried in his heart.

When the morning sun rose from the east and the morning mist completely dissipated, Shen Fan ended his day's Cultivation.

He shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his expression.

"These past few days, I've been focused on Cultivating various Cultivation Techniques and Spells like the Nine Netherworld Corpse Refining Art, Blood Soul One Qi Skill, and Ice and Fire Two Extremes Body Tempering Art, but I've neglected my Righteous Path Cultivation. Now, my strength, which is stuck at the Qi Refining Stage Three, hasn't made any progress at all!"

"It seems I need to start improving my strength as soon as possible, starting tomorrow!" Shen Fan secretly made up his mind.

After all, Cultivation Techniques like the Blood Soul One Qi Skill and Nine Netherworld Corpse Refining Art were Demonic Techniques!

"These past few days, I've also accumulated quite a few gathering qi pills through the treasure gathering cosmos bowl. If my talent isn't good enough, I'll make up for it with Medicinal Pills. I refuse to believe it!" Shen Fan gritted his teeth and thought bitterly.

Then, Shen Fan immediately got up, preparing to test the power of the Dragon Capturing Hand.

After a day and a night of diligent Cultivation yesterday, he had Cultivated the Dragon Capturing Hand to the point of just beginning to grasp its essence, and it should be able to unleash one or two tenths of its power.

Shen Fan came before a tree about a full embrace in circumference, secretly pondering in his heart:

Although with his Physical Body strength at Qi Refining Stage Three and Blood Refining Second Layer, he could shake and destroy it, trying to shake it with just the power of five claws would probably be no easy feat.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Fan curved his right hand into a claw, then let out a low roar: "Dragon Capturing Hand—Mountain Crushing!"

Immediately, a surge of spiritual power rushed into his right hand like a tide.

Shen Fan's five fingers tensed, and spiritual power flowed into specific acupoints, unleashing a powerful force.

Then, he fiercely clawed at the tree trunk.

"Hmph!"

His five claws resembled those of a tiger, and their power was so strong that they completely destroyed the bark of the tree trunk, even tearing off a few sections of the moist wood inside, penetrating deeply.

"So strong!"

Shen Fan was immediately shocked by the power of this Dragon Capturing Hand.

Moreover, this was only the power of the first layer of the Dragon Capturing Hand, the "Mountain Crushing Style."

The Cultivation Technique's introduction mentioned that when the first layer, "Mountain Crushing," reached Major Achievement, the five fingers could transform into sharp profound iron blades, and when gripping, they would tear the air, emitting the roar of a Dragon crocodile. A single arm's force could crush Magical Artifact-grade shields.

The second layer, "River Locking," would manifest a phantom of a green-scaled giant claw when grasping in mid-air. A swirling suction force would condense in the palm, allowing one to control cranes and capture flood Dragons as easily as picking up an object from a bag. This was considered a control-type ability.

The third layer, "Space Rending," would unleash five dark spatialcrack that would spread out, ignoring Magic Treasure obstruction and directly striking the target's body, crushing mountains as easily as rolling mud balls.

"Are you kidding me?"

Upon reading the end, Shen Fan was speechless, "You're a first-tier Medium Grade Spell, what do you think you are? Crushing mountains like rolling mud balls?"

Shen Fan shook his head with a bitter smile. It seemed the adapter had incorporated a lot of his own imagination!

However, these three moves were indeed practical.

The first move was for breaking the enemy, the second for binding the enemy, and the third for surprising the enemy.

Speaking of which, for a first-tier Medium Grade Spell, this power was actually sufficient.

Currently, the "Mountain Crushing" style alone was quite good.

Moreover, this was without using the Blood Soul One Qi Skill.

If he were to use the Blood Soul One Qi Skill, the Blood Soul Qi would burn his blood, catalyzing his strength, and the power of this move should increase several times over.

After some attempts, Shen Fan had a general understanding of the Dragon Capturing Hand.

Afterward, he returned to the Waste Pill Room and retrieved the blood-written letter he had placed there yesterday.

Spreading it out, Shen Fan carefully read it.

What met his eyes was shocking.

Shen Fan's expression gradually grew solemn, finally turning to one of horror.

After reading it, he immediately locked the door, then hastily opened the incinerator and threw the letter inside, burning it to ashes.

"Huff, puff!"

The aftermath was too great, and Shen Fan was momentarily dazed, as if a world away, unable to react.

"This, this, this... is this true?"

In his mind, those blood-written characters seemed to come alive, swirling chaotically in his thoughts.

"Refining Medicinal Pills with humans and extracting their Blood Soul Qi—is this the true secret of Tianxuan Sect's Pill Refining Peak?"

In the blood-written letter, the persecuted person recounted their experiences from a first-person perspective.

It stated that Pill Refining Peak would take anyone who violated sect rules or discovered secrets, use them for Alchemy, and extract their Blood Soul Qi.

The remaining flesh and blood would be dug out to Cultivate Spirit Field fertilizer; the remaining skeletons would be sent to Lianqi Peak to refine Magical Artifacts.

The entire person, every part, was utilized, leaving no waste whatsoever.

"Is this... still the Tianxuan Sect I know?"

Shen Fan muttered to himself, a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Isn't Tianxuan Sect a renowned immortal sect? How could it do such evil Demonic Technique things?"

"No, no!"

Shen Fan stood up, pacing back and forth, shaking his head in denial, "It's just a blood-written letter, it's not enough to prove anything?"

But the next moment, another thought negated this idea: "But what about the human fingernails I saw last time when helping Spirit Field transport fertilizer?"

These two points now coincided.

Flesh and blood used as fertilizer, wasn't that it?

At this moment, Shen Fan was like a frog at the bottom of a well, peeking at the world outside the well's opening.

But that world seemed as terrifying as the end of the world.

In an instant, Shen Fan felt as if he was on the edge of a whirlpool, as if he could be sucked in at any moment, leaving no bones behind.

"This Tianxuan Sect probably won't last long!" Shen Fan concluded after much deliberation.

"But if I want to continue staying here, I can only act discreetly, continue to be a Utility Disciple, and be a transparent person!"

This was the only advantage Shen Fan currently considered for himself.

But... Shen Fan frowned deeply, "It's just that Mu Xingtian, that old fellow, has already set his eyes on me. He made me Cultivate the Blood Soul One Qi Skill, probably because he values this Blood Soul Qi power."

At this moment, Shen Fan also had a sudden realization: "Using human Blood Soul Qi as Alchemy Materials, Mu Xingtian making me Cultivate the Blood Soul One Qi Skill to strengthen my own Blood Soul Qi, isn't he planning to use it for Alchemy?"

"Damn it!"

The more Shen Fan thought about it, the more alarmed he became, "I'm just a Utility Disciple, do you, a Law Enforcement Elder, really need to do this?"

But the more he thought so, the more Shen Fan arrived at a terrifying answer: It was absolutely possible that Mu Xingtian had already used more Utility Disciples as Alchemy Materials.

This very Blood Soul One Qi Skill Cultivation Technique, he might have given it to ten, or even hundreds, of Utility Disciples to Cultivate.

"No wonder he told me not to tell others that I was his Named Disciple. So, you have who knows how many Named Disciples!"

If it weren't for knowing the inside story, wouldn't other Utility Disciples be tearfully grateful to Mu Xingtian, this Law Enforcement Elder?

Little did they know, everyone was his prey, and they were helping him count money after being sold!

After a brief thought, Shen Fan had a countermeasure: "I refuse to believe it. If I keep my strength obscured at Blood Refining First Layer with the treasure gathering cosmos bowl, will you still treat me as Alchemy Materials?"

"As long as I maintain trash strength, you won't be able to use trash!"

"Right?"
