Chapter 7 – The Fourth Level of Body Refinement Technique

Chapter 7: The Fourth Level of the Body Refinement Technique

In addition to trading out the demonic beast materials through the trade fair, they could also be sold to the clan, although the price was on the low side, it was a time saver, and could be taken care of all at once, and then exchanged from the clan for spirit stones or other resources.

That mid first stage ground rock rat demonic beast’s blood and essence blood, Su Yu had kept it for himself to take for practicing the Body Refinement Technique.

As for the beast skin as well as the early first stage ground rock rat along with the essence blood, it was sold to the family and exchanged for six lower grade spirit stones.

Time slowly passed.

After coming to the Pill Garden, the cultivation resources in Su Yu’s hand had increased more than a few times.

He even had forty-one drops of essence blood from that mid-first stage ground rock rat.

It could be called ‘rich and generous’.

For daily cultivation, with the help of the spirit stones as well as the spirit rice, the Sycamore Greenwood Technique now only required less than three hours of cultivation per day to reach its limit.

Cultivating the Body Refining Technique, he was now able to swallow and refine two drops of demonic beast’s essence blood a day, and his cultivation speed had taken a qualitative leap.

Battle of the Stars.

One night passed.

The next day Su Yu woke up from his cultivation and gazed at the line of words of the proficiency panel in front of him.

[Feats: Sycamore Green Wood Technique (2nd level, proficiency 4.5%), Crocodile Demon 108 Style Body Refining Technique (3rd level, proficiency 21.4%)].

“In one day’s time, the Sycamore Greenwood Skill proficiency can increase by 0.18%, and the Body Refining Art proficiency can increase by 0.82%.” Su Yu was pondering.

In that case, the Sycamore Greenwood Skill would still need a year and a half to break through to the third layer.

The Body Refining Art, on the other hand, would still need more than two months to break through to the fourth layer.

Swallowing two drops of mid-first stage demonic beast essence blood a day to cultivate, the rate of improvement of the Body Refining Art was more than double that of having no resources.

Otherwise, it was impossible for the Body Refinement Art to break through so quickly.

Subsequently, Su Yu attempted to use a lower grade spirit stone to assist in the cultivation of the Sycamore Greenwood Technique, and his cultivation speed was indeed greatly increased, able to grow 0.28% proficiency in a day.

If he used the spirit stone to cultivate for a long period of time, it would still only take about a year for him to break through to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.

“If I could have a Qi Refining Pill to assist me, my cultivation speed would be even faster, but a bottle of ten Qi Refining Pills would require ten lower grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to one lower grade Spirit Stone and one Qi Refining Pill.”

“And for the Qi Refining Dan for the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, a single one only has a time limit of two or three hours, so it’s still cost-effective to use Spirit Stones to cultivate compared to using Spirit Stones.”

Unfortunately
Su Yu shook his head, not only could he not afford to get high right now, even spirit stones could only be used at intervals to aid in cultivation.

More than that would be unaffordable.

Calculating the cultivation resources in his hand, Su Yu was just cultivating step by step every day in addition to the tasks in the pill field.

One night half a month later, Su Yu once again went out to lay five baiting powder traps for beasts, this time hunting three Ground Rock Rats, but they were all only early first stage demonic beasts.

In addition to leaving behind demonic beast blood and meat to satisfy his craving every day, and then leaving behind a little bit of pre-first stage demonic beast essence blood, the rest of the materials Su Yu sold them all to the family, and once again scored nine lower grade spirit stones.

Time passes slowly.

Su Yu had been in the medicinal garden for two months.

In these two months, the ground rock rat infestation in the medicinal garden had become more and more serious, and had already affected the safety of the Su family’s medicinal garden, with many of the spiritual medicines suffering from the ground rock rat’s bites and destruction.

There were even more than a dozen ordinary clansmen who were buried under the claws and teeth of the rock rats.

This made the Su Family’s senior management furious.

They were determined to clear the ground rock rat demon swarm.

The family head, Su Peng, made a trip to the medicinal garden not long afterward, announcing a bounty mission, where anyone who hunted and killed a pre-first stage ground rock rat would be rewarded with an additional five lower grade spirit stones in addition to the value of the materials.

Hunting and killing a mid-first stage ground rock rat would additionally reward twenty lower grade spirit stones!

Hunting and killing a late first-order ground rock rat would additionally reward one hundred lower-grade spirit stones!

Because the ground rock rats in the medicinal garden were infested with rats, it had already reached the point where if they were not cleaned up, it would result in an extinction.

If they allowed the ground rock rat colony to grow, even without the influence of the first-order spirit veins, their Su family’s spirit medicine business would have to fail.

Whether it was for the sake of the medicinal garden or for the sake of the first-order spirit veins, the ground rock rat demon swarm had to be cleaned up and eliminated.

How the senior management of the family viewed the possibility of a first-order spirit vein appearing in the medicinal garden, and whether any preparations had been made behind the scenes, Su Yu was not clear. However, from the moment Family Head Su Peng announced the bounty mission, Su Yu was delighted.

In this month or so, he had only struck out twice, but had hunted five Pre-First Order Ground Rock Rat Demon Beasts.

If he followed the family’s current bounty, even if he didn’t buy materials, he would be able to score a full twenty-five lower grade spirit stones.

It was able to scrape together enough money to pay for half of a lower-grade magic weapon!

“Next, there can be more hunting.” Su Yu’s heart had decided that it didn’t matter even if he was noticed by the clan that he was very capable of hunting ground rock rats.

The reward from the family this time was enough for him to risk trying.

He looked at the family belongings he had saved up and had ten lower grade spirit stones.

He took them all out and purchased a full fifty Beast Baiting Powder materials.

Waiting for the evening.

When Su Yu wanted to grind a few portions of beast baiting powder to go out hunting, a few of his senior brothers called on him, intending to go to the medicinal field together to ambush and hunt the ground rock rats.

“Senior brother let’s go together, many people have gone to the medicinal field after dinner, and there are even some who plan to stay in the medicinal field.” The oldest senior brother, Su Minghuai, kindly invited him, and the other two senior brothers were also excited.

The family’s bounty had made all the cultivators in the medicinal field red for it, and Su Yu wasn’t the only one who had his eyes on this cake.

Listening to what the several senior brothers said, Su Yu froze for a moment and almost miscalculated.

If so many people went to ambush the ground rock rats, then the probability of him succeeding in his attempt to trap and hunt the ground rock rats was not high.

There was even a high possibility that the existence of the Beast Baiting Powder would be exposed.

Therefore, he could not go hunting in the medicinal field for the time being.

“No, I’d better settle down and cultivate here, I’m not very strong.” After Su Yu thought about it, he decided to avoid this craze and wait for a while, the Ground Rock Rat Demon swarm was not that easy to deal with.

Therefore, he politely declined the three senior brothers’ invitation.

Turning his head back, he continued to cultivate.

For the next period of time, the medicinal field was bustling every night, countless Immortal cultivators hibernated in the medicinal field waiting for the Ground Rock Rats to show their faces, and once they showed their heads, they might suffer from being surrounded by a few, or even a dozen Immortal cultivators.

This matter continued until more than a month later, when the ground rock rat demon group had been hunted down to nearly a hundred, and no longer showed up much, and only then did the Immortal Cultivators in the Pill Garden subside a little.

That night.

In the room.

“Whew! Whew! Whew!”

Su Yu exuded a hot and incomparable breath, each breath exhaled was as hot and crimson as a fiery flame.

The blood qi in his body tumbled as if it was a great river, and the sound of thunder rolled deafeningly.

At a certain moment, the blood qi breath in Su Yu’s body reached its limit.

“Boom!”

“Roar!”

In an instant, the room blazed with blood light, Su Yu’s body was covered with blood qi, as if the blood sea of blood qi transformed into a huge giant crocodile, perched on Su Yu’s head, with teeth and claws, a piece of blood-colored scale armor manifested, hideous and horrifying.

Tilting his head back with a roar, shaking Su Yu’s Divine Sea Spiritual Platform, while on the Spiritual Platform, a hazy figure sat cross-legged, calmly looking at this arrogant and domineering giant in front of him.

A blood-colored pattern like scaly armor surfaced on the surface of Su Yu’s body, and in an instant, Su Yu’s body swelled up quite a bit.

It was like a humanoid giant crocodile with a wild and appalling aura.

This time, Su Yu’s body had metamorphosed for nearly half an hour before the blood-colored veins on the surface, as well as the berserk blood qi on his body slowly converged, and his body returned to its original appearance.

When Su Yu opened his eyes and gazed at the proficiency panel, the words on it had already changed.

[Technique: Crocodile Demon 108 Style Body Refining Technique (4th level, proficiency 0.01%)].

At the fourth layer of the Body Refining Technique, this body and strength of his was already no weaker than a mid-first stage demonic beast.
