Chapter 28: Condensing the Fifth Drop of Essence Blood

  Looking for votes, friends who haven't collected it yet, please collect it first, so it's easy to find later.

  Yang sat cross-legged on a straw mat and directly took out a jade bottle from his spatial ring.

  This jade bottle contains the essence of blood from those eight masters who condensed their blood four times, totaling thirty-two drops.

  So much precious blood, Yang Yi also got it for the first time.

  His bloodline power had become extremely strong at this point, compared to ordinary Blood Fourth Stage cultivators. His current strength was such that even without using Binding Chains and Nine Palaces Illusionary Formation, he could take on three to five Blood Fourth Stage experts just by relying on his brute force.

  This was also thanks to his constant slaughter of those monks who regarded him as a fat sheep, plundering the essence and blood from their bodies, constantly refining it for his own use. However, even with such refinement, he continued to consume Bi Shui Dan and Yuan Qi Dan throughout the month, and even consumed all the remaining Lie Huo Dan, yet still failed to successfully condense the fifth drop of essence and blood.

  A master of the Fourfold Coagulation, generally possesses four drops of essence blood. To condense a fifth drop is extremely difficult, and it's unknown how much essence blood medicine would be consumed. Even those cave masters' sons, like Xuan Wu Nian, who have pharmacists at their disposal, haven't been able to condense the fifth drop of essence blood.

  It's clear how difficult it is to condense into the fifth drop of essence.

  "With each refinement of a drop of essence, most of the power is actually lost, and only a small part of the essence's power truly merges into the blood vessels. Otherwise, the fifth drop of essence wouldn't be so difficult to condense."

  Yang took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and slowly calmed down, relaxing his entire body. He poured out a drop of pure blood from the jade bottle, which quickly entered his bloodstream.

  "Humming"

  Yang Yilian's refinement of her essence and blood had become second nature, extremely familiar. Drop by drop, the essence and blood flowed into her bloodstream like scorching hot oil, rapidly starting to churn and causing a shockwave in her blood power.

  However, at this time, Yang Yi's bloodline power was so strong that it could no longer be compared to its former self. It quickly suppressed the turmoil of these refined blood powers and gradually began to refine them away bit by bit. The powerful nutrients rapidly merged into his bloodstream, and his body's strength was increasing bit by bit.

  From dawn till dusk, Yang Yi was constantly refining, and the thirty-two drops soon only had ten drops left.

  "Call"

  Suddenly, Yang Yi's eyes snapped open, and a gleam of excitement flashed in his gaze.

  "I can feel it now, after refining twenty-two drops of essence blood. My body's power has reached its limit, and the strength of the blood in my veins is unimaginable. It's time to condense the fifth drop of essence blood!"

  Yang Yi was extremely excited, he could clearly feel the power in his blood vessels, which had reached a critical point. There was a feeling of having nowhere to vent this power, and at this moment, it was just right for condensing his vital energy.

  Yang Yi closed his eyes again, carefully feeling the beating of his heart.

  All the power of the blood vessels will pass through the heart, so the heart is the source of the monk's strength. Its essence and blood are actually stored in the heart.

  In Yang Yi's heart, there were a few drops of thick and dark blood, like black ink. This kind of blood that had been condensed to the point of being as thick as ink was the most powerful and concentrated essence. The darker the color of the essence, the stronger it was.

  Yang Yi quietly mobilized the power of blood, and his heart suddenly accelerated its beating. Endless blood power began to circulate, and countless powers passed through the heart from the blood.

  "The fifth drop of essence, condense!"

  Yang Yi let out a light gasp, his strong heart suddenly stopped beating in that instant, and the entire blood flow seemed to stop at once. This was only for an instant, but behind the calmness was a violent storm. His heart stopped for a moment, then started beating again, with a speed that was simply unbelievable, twice as fast as usual.

  Such a rapid heartbeat is startling, but it's precisely this rapid heartbeat that allows the blood force to circulate continuously, and within its core, threads of pure blood force begin to rotate wildly, gradually condensing into something.

  This is the entire process of condensing essence and blood. To put it simply, it's just a matter of accumulation. For example, Yang Yi killed so many people and refined so much condensed blood into fourfold essence and blood, but only barely managed to condense out the fifth drop of essence and blood. Those powerful beings who have condensed six drops, or even seven or eight drops, must have killed tens of thousands of people, with corpses piling up in mountains.

  In the heart of the vortex, only a tiny bit of crimson blood had condensed, far from meeting the conditions to become refined blood. Moreover, it wasn't about breaking through boundaries, but condensing even more refined blood than what was beyond the boundaries, which was countless times more difficult than normally cultivating and breaking through boundaries to condense refined blood.

  Yang's face slightly sank, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the jade bottle beside him, opening his mouth wide to take a big gulp.

  "Whoosh"

  Only ten drops of pure blood in the jade bottle were instantly absorbed into Yang's mouth, quickly transformed into pure power, like a fierce beast, rampaging through his veins.

  This was the powerful essence of ten drops of strong blood, Yang Yixin's will was firm, and he fiercely mobilized all his blood vessels' power, quickly inputting the power refined from these ten drops of essence into his heart.

  Boom

  The power of these ten drops of essence, bursting out together, is how terrifying? The whirlpool in the heart, however, was like encountering a powerful force, and it started spinning wildly.

  "Humming"

  Endless blood power is gathering, in the heart, a drop of dark red essence is gradually taking shape, and with the heartbeat, its color becomes darker and darker, showing Yang's strong accumulation.

  "Haha, the fifth drop of essence has been obtained!"

  Yang Yi's entire body shook, and the aura on his whole body burst out, more than twice as strong as before. Moreover, there was a sense of oppression in the aura surrounding him, making ordinary Congealed Blood Fourth Stage no match for Yang Yi's single move.

  Five drops of essence and four drops of essence, seemingly only one drop of essence apart, but the difference is truly a world apart.

  Five drops of essence were condensed, and Yang Yi could even feel his body's strength increasing again. The mysterious lifespan also rapidly soared to 500 years.

  Moreover, a brand new cultivation gate was slowly opened for Yang Yi, and after the fifth drop, there would be the sixth and seventh drops, becoming the Fifth-Order Blood Condensation, no longer relying on that vague and elusive comprehension, but rather solidly relying on the accumulation of water to form a river.

  "Hmm, five drops of essence blood! My current power is more than double what it was before. I'm afraid I can even use the Moonfall Bow to unleash a six-shot burst!"

  Yang Yi's power was once again enhanced, and he launched the Moonfall Bow, which could now infinitely approach the power of Congealing Blood Fivefold. His strength had increased by a large margin, several times over.
