Chapter 551: Jun Chengye, What a Great Guy!
Nangong Xiu reached out and grabbed Lin Fengmian’s ear again and said, “You disrespectful boy! Call me Auntie!”
Lin Fengmian tilted his head, grimacing in pain, but he couldn’t just sever his ear to escape. Instead, he resorted to his ultimate trump card.
“Auntie, I came in first this time. When are you going to fulfill your promise?”
Nangong Xiu’s expression froze, and she pretended to be clueless. “What promise?”
“Don’t play dumb. When are you going to fulfill your promise?” Lin Fengmian sneered.
Nangong Xiu was sweating bullets now. She had seen Lin Fengmian’s recorded performance and knew full well how strong his physical prowess was. If she were to compete with him in physical strength, she might very well end up losing in an embarrassing way.
This guy had no boundaries, and his audacity was beyond description. What if he lost control and really went wild? Although she could always renege on the bet, that would be too humiliating!
Nangong Xiu groaned inwardly, deciding that she needed to go back and temper her body as soon as possible. Even if she ended up looking like a gorilla, it would be better than letting this guy have his way.
She let go of his ear and said awkwardly, “I’m not feeling well today. Let’s do it another day!”
Lin Fengmian rubbed his abused ear and scoffed, “What’s wrong with you today?”
“I… I’m on my period!” Nangong Xiu declared with a straight face.
“Can you be any more ridiculous? A Unity Realm cultivator telling me that she’s on her period?” Lin Fengmian was both amused and annoyed. “And what does our bet have to do with your period?”
Nangong Xiu’s face flushed with embarrassment as she stammered, “I’m not feeling well because of it, so I’m not in good condition. Let’s reschedule!”
“I have things to do, so I’ll go first. Make sure you show up on time, or I’ll come find you myself!” she said, already backing away, afraid that Lin Fengmian might stop her if she lingered.
Lin Fengmian was furious. This woman was completely shameless!
Luo Xue couldn’t help but chuckle. “You pervert, what did you bet with her?”
Lin Fengmian hesitated, trying to downplay it. “It’s nothing.”
Luo Xue raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing. “You pervert, it must be something indecent!”
Lin Fengmian awkwardly replied, “Luo Xue, let me explain!”
Luo Xue cut him off with a laugh. “It’s okay, no need to explain. I’ve already figured out how to modify the array. Let’s go back and deal with that old ghost first.”
For her, these were Lin Fengmian’s personal matters. Although she felt a bit uncomfortable, she didn’t have the right to interfere. After all, she was someone without a future.
Lin Fengmian felt as if he had been granted a reprieve and quickly hurried back into the study.
You Yao watched Lin Fengmian with some confusion, wondering why he was so eager to return to the study. But she assumed that it was because Jun Chengye had some important matters to discuss with him before their departure, so she didn’t dwell on it.
When Lin Fengmian returned to the study, the incense had already burned out and the entrance was open.
Half an hour later, Luo Xue looked at the completely transformed blood sacrifice array and clapped her hands with a satisfied smile.
“It’s done! But this array can only be controlled by you. Be careful not to wake him up.”
Lin Fengmian was confused. “He can still wake up?”
Luo Xue nodded. “If he’s overly stimulated or faces a life-threatening situation, he might instinctively wake up.”
“Be careful. If you see any signs of him waking up, stop immediately. Don’t take any chances. Better safe than sorry!”
Lin Fengmian nodded solemnly. “I understand!”
Following Luo Xue’s instructions, he placed Jun Chengye at the Yin Eye of the array, while he himself stood at the Yang Eye. He then activated the Blood Sacrifice Array with a series of hand seals.
When the Blood Sacrifice Array was activated, the eerie runes carved into the ground seemed to come to life, glowing with a dark, bloody light.
A powerful, malevolent force instantly filled the air, and the entire cave seemed to tremble, as if an invisible force was tearing at the fabric of space.
Under the influence of this force, both Jun Chengye and Lin Fengmian were lifted into the air by an invisible current and floated face to face, like two stars facing each other in the night sky.
As the blood sacrifice array continued to work, Jun Chengye’s body was enveloped in a thick, bloody light. Waves of blood energy surged out of him like a tidal wave, rushing towards Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian’s Demon Emperor Technique began to work at full capacity. A massive vortex seemed to form within his body, devouring Jun Chengye’s blood energy.
As the blood energy continued to pour into him, his spiritual power began to condense, seemingly on the verge of breaking through to the Core Formation Realm.
However, Lin Fengmian decided not to break through to the Core Formation Realm. Instead, he condensed the endless blood energy into blood crystals and expelled them from his body.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you breaking through to the Core Formation Realm?” Luo Xue asked curiously.
Lin Fengmian explained, “I don’t know where this cave is. If I recklessly attract a heavenly tribulation, I might expose this place.”
“Besides, if I’m going to Junlin with Nangong Xiu and the others, I need to have some tricks up my sleeve.”
What he was using was a special technique from the True Art of the Twelve Divine Fiends – coagulating blood into crystals.
It was a secret technique that allowed one to turn their vital blood into blood crystals that could be used for healing or given to their descendants.
However, because it was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and damaging to the body, it was rarely used unless one was on the brink of death.
Jun Chengye’s blood energy, accumulated over hundreds of years, was far too much for Lin Fengmian to absorb, even if he broke through to the Core Formation Realm. So, he decided to store it for later use.
At this moment, Lin Fengmian was using his body as a conduit, transforming Jun Chengye’s blood energy into his own vital blood and then expelling it.
This process wasn’t without advantages for Lin Fengmian. All the impurities in his body were expelled, and his blood and energy became increasingly refined, making his physique stronger and stronger.
Worried that Jun Chengye would wake up, Lin Fengmian kept a close eye on him.
Jun Chengye’s eyes remained tightly shut as if he were in a deep dream, but a trace of indescribable pain flickered across his brow.
As the blood sacrifice continued, his face grew paler and paler, and his aura grew weaker and weaker, as if his blood energy was drying up.
Meanwhile, although Lin Fengmian’s cultivation level hadn’t increased, his blood energy was as vast as an ocean. At this point, his physical strength was comparable to that of a normal cultivator in the Core Formation Realm.
His aura was growing stronger and stronger, like a volcano on the verge of erupting, ready to unleash terrifying power at any moment.
At this moment, Jun Chengye’s body began to tremble violently. His eyelids twitched, as if he were about to wake up from a nightmare.
“Stop! If you continue, he’ll wake up!” Luo Xue strongly reminded him.
Lin Fengmian immediately stopped, and the blood sacrifice array began to dim. Jun Chengye fell back into a deep sleep.
Both of them landed on the ground, and it was as if nothing had happened-except for the pile of translucent blood crystals scattered across the floor.
Lin Fengmian looked at the blood crystals, which contained immense power, and then looked at Jun Chengye lying on the ground. His eyes were burning with desire.
What a great tonic!
“Luo Xue, can this array be activated again?”
Luo Xue nodded. “It should be able to activate two more times, but we need to let him recover first.”
Lin Fengmian looked at the pile of translucent blood crystals and couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
“I hit the jackpot! Jun Chengye, what a great guy!”
