Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 771 765 Shortcut? Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pill_1

This was a Special Secret Technique that stimulated the flesh and blood origin and nurtured a miniature world of flesh and blood, known as the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique.

Even with the assistance of the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique, nurturing a Flesh and Blood Origin Realm was not an easy task, as it took an extraordinary amount of time and energy. Furthermore, it required a copious amount of treasures that enhanced the power of the flesh and blood origin.

Jia Ren committed the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique to memory and began his first attempt. His blood qi surged, burning fiercely like a raging furnace. Blood and flesh became fuel, extracting the hidden life source qi. The life source qi streamed endlessly towards his chest, where the flesh began to undergo miraculous changes, greedily absorbing it. It was as though a seed of a world took root and sprouted, drawing in the life source qi and gradually growing into a towering tree of the world.

This process was extremely slow, and the efficiency was too low. At this pace, even with an abundant supply of life source qi, it would take a hundred years to complete.

If one Flesh and Blood Origin Realm takes over a hundred years to form, then wouldn't 10,800 of them take 1,080,000 years? The time required is too lengthy. The Immortal Path could hardly withstand the pressure of the Bizarre Path for even 80,000 years. I will not live to see the day the Heaven Repository opens...

The emergence of the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm was too slow. The proficiency level of this Profound Path Secret Technique was not high enough and still had significant room for improvement. Even if the efficiency could be increased a hundredfold, it would still take 10,000 years. Jia Ren had not even lived for 10,000 years; the time was too long. Moreover, even if the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique reached the Technique Approaching the Dao level, its efficiency would not achieve a hundredfold improvement, and the time required would only be longer.

No wonder Kun Mingyuan only managed to open just over 3,000 Flesh and Blood Origin Realms.

Is there a way to speed this up?

As Jia Ren maintained the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique, he pondered feasible solutions.

Multiple casts? Using multiple Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Techniques simultaneously to open several at once would maximize the reduction in time required. The efficiency would assuredly increase several times, even tenfold. That's indeed a solution.

Can Space Force speed up the opening of the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm? The size of the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm is related to space, so accelerating its completion would definitely reduce the time consumed. I won't know if it works unless I try.

Jia Ren divided his attention and cast a second Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique, forming a new Origin Realm. Instantly, the consumption of life source qi soared, and the essence of his flesh and blood was expended at an alarming rate.

Multiple casting is feasible!

After the first successful attempt, he did not rush to increase the number of Flesh and Blood Origin Realms he was opening but started a new trial. While maintaining the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique, Jia Ren divided his attention to control the Thousand Transformations Rule, turning it into Space Law Power and infusing it into the forming Flesh and Blood Origin Realm.

The speed of the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm's emergence dramatically increased, and the space expanded at an astonishing rate. However, the consumption of life source qi skyrocketed, unable to sustain two Flesh and Blood Origin Realms at once, and the secret technique abruptly ceased.

Jia Ren's face showed no sign of defeat; a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

This method is feasible! An Immortal who Proved the Dao By Strength cannot master Space Law and, thus, cannot use this method to accelerate the growth of a Flesh and Blood Origin Realm. I am the only exception; this truly is a viable shortcut. Again!

Jia Ren took out a White Porcelain Jade Vial and poured out several Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills with Eighteen Dao Pill Patterns to consume. He executed the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm Technique, coupled with Space Law Power, focusing on opening a single Flesh and Blood Origin Realm. The medicinal power of the Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills flowed into his body, transforming into blood qi to nourish his depleted physique and replenish his life force. The blood flame ignited in his body, incessantly transforming into life source qi.

The burning speed is a bit slow!

The Xuan Beast Avatar appeared out of nowhere, bringing forth several fire-type immortal materials. In no time, a pot of crimson Talisman Ink was prepared. The Talisman Brush, dipped in the crimson Talisman Ink, moved swiftly over Jia Ren's body like a coiling dragon. In an instant, the speed of the blood flames increased, transforming more life source qi and rapidly injecting it into the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm.

Jia Ren maintained this state, opening the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm at a remarkable pace.

「A year flew by.」

His seated figure seemed like a stone statue, never moving an inch. His body became gaunt, his hair lifeless like straw, and nearly half of it had fallen from his head. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing an indescribable weakness within.

I've finally formed one Flesh and Blood Origin Realm...

Jia Ren took out three Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills to consume, restoring his damaged vitality. It normally took a hundred years to form a single Flesh and Blood Origin Realm, but he had only used one year; the improvement in efficiency was astonishing.

But... the cost was beyond imagination. Even a large number of Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills couldn't support the massive consumption. My body is nearly burnt out, barely meeting the conditions. Focus on ten things at once and simultaneously open ten Flesh and Blood Origin Realms? Before they could form, I'd be drained into a withered husk. The root cause is still insufficient life source qi. The solution is to find treasures that can increase life source qi, ensuring supply exceeds consumption. Then, forming ten Flesh and Blood Origin Realms in a year wouldn't be a problem. The Yang Anode Blood Essence Pill is the best Xuandao Elixir I have on hand, but its effect is barely satisfactory. A better-quality Elixir?

Jia Ren seemed to think of something, looking in the direction of the Ming Luo Hall Treasury.

I might not have the appropriate treasures, but that doesn't mean Ming Luo Hall doesn't. As the Deputy Master of Ming Luo Hall, it wouldn't be excessive for me to take some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for my cultivation.

With that thought, he left his Cultivation Room and hurried toward the Ming Luo Hall Treasury.

The Guardian of the treasury was a familiar face, an elder Jia Ren had met once before.

"Elder Yuan," Jia Ren greeted with a bow.

Although this person was at the Golden Immortal Realm and rumored to be a servant of Lord Mingluo, he had been in Ming Luo Hall for an extremely long time, witnessing its rise and fall, which gave him a special status.

The elder's brow furrowed as he sensed the vital qi Jia Ren lacked. "Your foundation is too shallow after all," he said. "You haven't even managed to open a single Flesh and Blood Origin Realm, and you've already depleted your origin essence... You've used up a lot of origin blood to accelerate your breakthrough of the Third Layer Pass. This is the price for seeking quick success."

He continued, "There is Origin Blood Spirit Ointment in the treasury, which can restore a portion of your depleted origin blood. A Thousand Spirits Blood Origin Pill can replenish the consumed life source qi..." As Elder Yuan spoke, he cast a few spells, opening the great doors of the treasury. Eleven White Porcelain Jade Vials fell into his palm.

"Take them."

I won't offer any explanations, Jia Ren thought. Playing up my misery might get me even more Elixirs.

He received the Jade Vases containing the Immortal Elixirs and examined them carefully. There were two vials of Origin Blood Spirit Ointment, a greenish-red ointment. Its life source qi was not very strong, and its nature leaned more toward increasing the power of blood origin. The Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pill could help open a Flesh and Blood Origin Realm, its effects far surpassing his own Yang Anode Blood Essence Pill.

The problem is that the Alchemist's skill level was too low; excellent Immortal Elixirs and rare treasures were refined into trash. The quantity is a bit small. Jia Ren estimated, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. There's only one Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pill per Jade Vase, totaling nine Jade Vases. Regardless of whether one pill can open a Flesh and Blood Origin Realm, nine pills are still too few.

"Greedy gluttons can't chew what they bite off. Nine Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pills are enough for you to use for a few hundred years," Elder Yuan said. "Are you afraid someone will steal your pills? So possessive."

Although Elder Yuan's words were harsh, he still waved his hand and took out over twenty more Jade Vases containing Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pills.

"Apart from you, no one else can use Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pills. They're all yours, lucky you," he said.

How many Flesh and Blood Origin Realms could thirty-six Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pills open? Jia Ren wondered. The quantity is definitely not enough to satisfy the terrifying consumption of over 10,000 Flesh and Blood Origin Realms. It's utterly inadequate.

"Elder Yuan, does the treasury still have the Immortal Materials required to refine Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pills?" Jia Ren asked.

I've always preferred to refine my own Elixirs, not relying on anyone else, he thought. I can scarcely bear such unskilled Alchemy whenever I see it. High-quality Elixirs are more effective; one pill can equal five or six ordinary ones.

"There won't be any more in the future!" Elder Yuan declared. "The Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pill is made from the Ten Thousand True Spirits' Essence Blood and Immortal Elixirs. Without Lord Mingluo, how could one obtain a large amount of True Spirit and True Spirit Level Demon Immortal Essence Blood from the Barren Domain and the Heavenly Marsh Domain? After the Great Dao mutation, many Magical Beasts died at the hands of Bizarre Demons, and it's impossible to find so much True Spirit or True Spirit Level Demon Immortal Essence Blood anymore..."

Elder Yuan sighed, seemingly nostalgic for the bygone era of the Immortal Path. But... nothing could be as it once was.

Ten Thousand True Spirits' Essence Blood and True Spirit Level Demon Immortal Essence Blood? Jia Ren mused. That requirement is indeed not low. While the Magical Beasts inside the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl number over 10,000, sadly, the quantity of True Spirits and True Spirit Level Demon Immortals among them is far from sufficient. However, as long as there's a massive supply of treasures for the Magical Beasts to enhance their Cultivation Levels, there will come a day when I can meet the requirements through self-sufficiency. At least it's a viable alternative.

"Is there an Alchemy Recipe for the Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pill?" Jia Ren asked.

It would take time for me to deduce the Alchemy Recipe, and nothing beats the convenience of having one ready-made.

Elder Yuan couldn't resist a sarcastic comment, "Would an old man like me deceive you? He who does not heed the counsel of the aged will suffer the consequences."

A Jade Slip flew out and landed in Jia Ren's hand.

"Please record a copy of all Golden Immortal Realm and above Cultivation Technique Jade Slips in the Sect," Jia Ren requested.

Ming Luo Hall might have Golden Immortal Realm Cultivation Techniques that I haven't mastered, he thought. I shouldn't miss them.

Elder Yuan took out several blank Jade Slips and started recording, casting an unfriendly glance as he asked, "Are you planning to sell the Sect's techniques?"

In the time it took to finish a cup of tea, over a hundred recorded Jade Slips were tossed over to Jia Ren. With a wave of his hand, Elder Yuan shooed him away. His eyes once again filled with reminiscence, lost in memories of bygone days.

"Thank you."

Jia Ren took the numerous Jade Slips and quickly returned to his Ming Luo Main Hall Cave Dwelling, recording the information from each Jade Slip into his mind. There weren't many Cultivation Technique Jade Slips. Unlike other Immortal Path Sects, Ming Luo Hall focused on the Special Techniques of the Profound Immortal class. Most of the techniques were outside his collection, but he gained an extra fifty-five Golden Immortal Techniques.

Joining Ming Luo Hall was indeed the right path for me.

After recording the Cultivation Techniques from the Jade Slips, he began to study the Alchemy Recipe. The Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pill did not require many Immortal Elixirs, but obtaining the required Demonic Blood—from at least ten thousand varieties of True Spirit Level creatures—was the most challenging part. Other Immortal Elixirs were not difficult to find, except for one called the Demon Breath Spiritual Immortal Fruit. This type of Immortal Elixir typically grew in areas where Yao Jun and Demon Venerables of the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm had been entrenched for a long time.

During the prime of Ming Luo Hall, this item was not scarce, as Demon Immortals had long been subdued by Lord Mingluo's power, willingly cultivating Immortal Elixirs for him.

Now, I'll have to take matters into my own hands and try my luck in the Barren Domain and the Heavenly Marsh Domain. It seems I'll eventually have to make a trip to the Demon Race's territory.
