Chapter 0009: Promotion to the Third Level

"Yes, I will ensure that my subordinates capture this hunter as soon as possible, so that the lord can deal with him!" Qing Wei quickly replied

The art of magic is mysterious and powerful, and it is extremely rare and valuable. This is a widely acknowledged fact among cultivators. Generally, even mid-level ordinary magical arts are hard to come by. However, what was found on Bai Yuancheng is a high-level ordinary magical art, a precious treasure that even an average Cave Master at the seventh level of Blood Condensation does not possess

In the entire realm of cultivation, the primary means of combat are martial skills and magical techniques, both of which are categorized into celestial and mundane grades

In the dim light of the fire, Yang Yi gently opened the "Binding Technique". The pages were densely filled with cultivation methods. However, after flipping through a few pages, Yang Yi's expression gradually became peculiar.

Whoosh

This place can no longer be stayed in; it is imperative to leave Qingyang Prefecture, as safety may only be found elsewhere. Otherwise, if discovered by the people of Qingyang Prefecture, the consequences will be endless

The powerful force of blood was guided by Yang Yi, surging towards the arms, repeatedly clearing the blood vessels.

***

Yang Yi's thoughts raced as he carefully considered his advantages

These are two drops of essence blood from a quadruple master of coagulated blood. Yang Yi gritted his teeth slightly; in order to break through the obstruction of his bloodline in one go, he swallowed both drops of essence blood in one gulp

This drop of essence blood was rapidly refined by Yang Yi, causing his entire body to begin heating up, as if the blood within him were boiling. The power contained within this drop of essence blood was even more formidable than that of the strong man's blood.

I possess the Moonfall Bow, which can greatly enhance my strength, concentrating the power of my blood in my arms. My strength will reach a terrifying level, allowing me to shoot long arrows with the power of my blood condensed to the third level, and even achieve the formidable strength of the fourth level of blood condensation.

Bailiefeng's cold gaze swept over the several guards, causing them to shiver all over, and they immediately took their leave.

Therefore, each individual has their own circumstances, and it is impossible to consider everything comprehensively. One must maximize their own capabilities, as this is the key to the triple coagulation.

The guard had not finished speaking when Bai Liefeng coldly shouted, "You fool, Chen Er is protected by two fourth-level experts. How could a mere hunter have the ability to kill Chen Er?"

Yang Yimeng picked up the nearby Moonfall Bow, drew the bowstring back to its full moon shape, and shot it towards the hard stone wall in one swift motion

There are many martial arts techniques, and even among techniques of the same level, there are numerous differences. Martial arts are common, but magical arts are quite rare, and they even appear somewhat mysterious. The casting of magical arts requires the use of one's own blood, and their power is enigmatic and unpredictable. In the end, one can even burn their own essence to cast them, achieving a level of power that can surpass the ordinary and kill those of higher ranks.

At this moment, Yang Yi wore a serious expression as he gently opened the package in his hand, taking out an ancient-looking booklet, which was the spell "Binding Technique" retrieved from Bai Yuancheng.

Damn it, investigate, find that damned hunter, kill without mercy, remember, be sure to bring back his corpse

These two drops of essence blood immediately erupted with immense power, surging continuously within the veins, transforming into waves of terrifying strength

After Qing Wei left, Bai Lie Feng's expression grew even darker as he murmured, "Whoever dares to scheme against me, Bai Lie Feng, shall meet a fate worse than death, humph"

Bailiefeng looked at the blood-stained long robe on the ground and coldly snorted, "Daring to kill my child will not be so simple! Could it be that someone has set their sights on my Bai family's binding technique? Hmph, no matter who it is, I must capture you. The binding technique will forever belong to my Bai family!"

Unblocking the blood vessels is an incredibly painful process, yet Yang Yi gritted his teeth and endured this suffering, repeatedly impacting the blood vessels in his arms.

Certainly, due to the limited blood power of ordinary practitioners, they can only open a fixed blood vein at one of the three choices of coagulation, thereby maximizing their attack power

Whether it is the current Yang Yi or the former Yang Yi, neither has ever walked in this world. Naturally, they are unaware of what the outside world is like. Arriving in a large city like Jinyang City, everything they see carries a uniquely novel feeling.

This is somewhat terrifying; if the essence blood of two drops of coagulated blood from four experts is not refined, it could even directly cause Yang Yi to explode and die

Bang

"Fools, you are all fools! After all these days, you still cannot find a single little hunter. Hmph, post the hunter's portrait; whoever sees him and captures him will be generously rewarded by my Qingyang Manor!"

This binding technique consists of nine levels, but this small booklet only records the first four levels. The remaining five levels are presumably with the lord of Qingyang Prefecture. This is an incomplete manual of the technique

However, the infinite nourishment and power contained within this drop of essence have now benefited Yang Yi.

Yang Yi knew that with the means of the Qingyang Prefecture, it would be exceedingly easy for them to discover his connection to the death of Bai Yuancheng. As long as he remained in the Qingyang Prefecture, he would not be safe

Boom

The coagulation triad has finally been broken through

This time, I obtained two drops of essence blood from a fourth-level Blood Condensation expert, as well as one drop of essence blood from Bai Yuancheng. I must make good use of these and strive to break through to the third level of Blood Condensation and Pulse Gathering, so that I can unleash powerful strength

Gradually, Yang Yi's expression became increasingly relaxed, yet his right arm had noticeably expanded by a full circle. With a slight wave, one could distinctly feel a strong gust of wind.

Bai Yuancheng, upon his birth, was likely immersed in countless precious medicinal materials, while continuously consuming various renowned elixirs as he grew, thereby laying a solid foundation. Many of the valuable medicinal properties were not even fully absorbed, yet Bai Yuancheng refined them all into his essence and blood, preparing for a future breakthrough to the fifth level of blood condensation

Having made up his mind, Yang Yi quickly walked into the city

The entire Qingyang Prefecture became lively with the posting of the portraits, as the death of the lord's beloved son had already sparked heated discussions throughout the prefecture

A figure suddenly leaped out from the forest; his complexion was slightly pale, his physique robust, and he carried a finely crafted longbow on his back, dressed in the attire of a hunter

Yang Yi murmured that he had not yet broken through to become a master of the third level of Blood Condensation, as the power within his blood was still insufficient

Yang Yi murmured softly, his eyes constantly flashing with a shrewd light

Although Bai Liefeng felt some sorrow over Bai Yuancheng's death, as the head of a household, he had more than just one son. In comparison to Bai Yuancheng's death, he was more concerned about the binding spell on Bai Yuancheng, as this was the foundation of the Bai family's existence, allowing no room for error

Whoosh

The most important thing now is not to cultivate these techniques and martial skills, but to enhance one's own level of cultivation.

Yang suddenly darted out of the cave and quickly burrowed into the forest, which was relatively more concealed compared to the wide road

Within the city of Jinyang, the sounds of people are bustling, with cultivators rushing about everywhere. Some of these cultivators are demonstrating martial techniques on the ground, while others are showcasing various spells, though these are all quite rudimentary or incomplete. They are continuously calling out, creating a distinctly different atmosphere.

Swish swish

Yang Yi contemplated for a moment, and naturally, he had already made up his mind. He immediately opened the jade bottle and poured out a drop of the blood essence of Bai Yuancheng.

The man then took out a white shirt from his bosom, which was covered in bloodstains, making it a shocking sight

Celestial products are something to aspire to but cannot be attained; generally, cultivators use ordinary products, most of which are of intermediate quality among the ordinary.

The triple coagulation, in fact, apart from the triple coagulation itself, the other single and double coagulations do not possess any formidable power; they are all in a stage of "accumulation." Only by concentrating the power of blood within the veins can one unleash formidable strength

Within this massive building, a middle-aged man with a pale complexion stands high above, exuding a fierce aura of lethal intent, as if he were a dominant ruler who has long held the power of life and death

Come and take a look, this is a premium Blood Coagulation Pill, which can quickly assist in consolidating one's blood essence. Achieving the first level of blood coagulation, even after reaching this level, using the Blood Coagulation Pill can lay a solid foundation. It is undoubtedly a great item from hetushu.com

"Qing Wei, please say that again. What happened to Chen Er?" The middle-aged man's face was almost completely covered with frost, and his tone flickered with a chilling murderous intent

"Damn it, investigate! Who has the audacity to kill Chen'er!" This middle-aged man trembled with rage, and with a powerful slap of his hand, the hard bluestone ground was shattered into pieces, demonstrating his formidable strength, likely at the fifth level of Blood Condensation, a master who has opened the bridge between heaven and earth.

In the midst of towering mountains, there stands an extraordinarily magnificent structure, imbued with an ethereal beauty, as if the essence of the heavens and the earth converges here

Fortunately, Yang Yi has undergone a complete transformation, and with the mastery of a grandmaster over his body, he is gradually refining the power of the two drops of essence blood from the fourth-level experts.

Before long, Yang Yi arrived at the massive city gates. He observed the bustling pedestrians, most of whom were at the first or second level of blood condensation, with some experts at the third level continuously entering and exiting. Moreover, the words "Jin Yang City" were prominently displayed above the city gate, indicating that he had indeed reached Jin Yang Prefecture.

This is the disparity, even among those of the same realm. As the son of the lord of the mansion, Bai Yuancheng has access to precious elixirs and medicinal materials, which are almost in piles for his use. How could his essence blood not be powerful?

The long arrow flew out, its speed as swift as lightning, and its tremendous force collided directly with the hard stone wall. The arrow penetrated the wall to a depth of five inches, demonstrating the sheer strength of the earlier impact. Such rapid speed and immense power could not be resisted even by an ordinary practitioner at the fourth level of Blood Condensation, who would be shot dead by a single arrow

Good, good, good! I didn't expect the breakthrough to be so powerful. It seems that concentrating the blood power in the arms is undoubtedly the right choice

Call!

Have we arrived at Jinyang Prefecture? Logically, I have been heading west for several months, so I should definitely not be within Qingyang Prefecture. However, it is still wise to be cautious

Yang Yixin felt a slight sense of relief; he had finally escaped from Qingyang Prefecture and no longer had to worry about it.

Yang Yi guided this force, striking fiercely towards the blood vessels in his arm.

The guard continued, "Report to the Lord of the Manor, my subordinate has already investigated. The lord of Liyang Fortress, Liu San, once took the Third Young Master to a hunter's home, where there was a beautiful maiden. Given the Third Young Master's disposition, it is likely that..."

Yang Yi's skin was permeated with drops of hot sweat, and even from a distance, under the glow of the flames, one could see a white mist emanating from his entire body, which was quite strange. This was the heat generated by the immense power of blood during the impact on the bloodline.

This coagulation triple is indeed difficult to overcome, and I was almost there. However, fortunately, I was prepared; otherwise, the suffering I endured today would have been in vain

***

The fierce wind seemed to be filled with an endless rage towards the books, and the murderous intent in its eyes surged, causing the three young guards to break out in cold sweat

Some individuals choose to break through the triple coagulation of blood in the veins of their legs, allowing them to run like the wind with incredible speed. Others opt for their arms, which grants immense strength to their limbs. There are also those who concentrate their blood in their palms, unleashing a powerful strike that generates a fierce wind, exuding an imposing presence.

Hiss!

In the cold cave, a pile of bonfire burns, yet the dark night still carries a sense of chill

Yang Yi gazed at the somewhat dim sky, then, with the moonlit bow on his back, he vanished into the mountains and forests after a few leaps.

Yang Yi, filled with joy, gently wiped the moonlit bow and quietly sat cross-legged until dawn

Yang Yi felt a stir in his heart; these porcelain vials were somewhat similar to the one containing the elixir he held in his arms, and the fragrance wafting from them was also somewhat alike

Certainly, if one's cultivation level were to rise and strength were to become formidable, one might be able to instantly comprehend these martial techniques and spells. However, this is absolutely beyond what Yang Yi can achieve at present. It is akin to a master from Yang Yi's previous life practicing other forms of Tai Chi, Bagua, and so forth, where one could almost immediately grasp the essence of these disciplines.

Yang Yi directly took out a jade bottle from his bosom and quickly poured out two drops of essence blood from it

Yang Yi caught a whiff of a fragrant aroma. He looked up and saw an old man with a long beard shouting in the street. In front of the old man was a table, on which were placed many pristine white porcelain bottles. The fragrance he had just sensed was emanating from these bottles.

Such a precious item is actually carried on one's person, and with Bai Yuancheng dead, Qingyang Prefecture will undoubtedly investigate. It is likely that they will trace it back to me immediately. I must leave at once, as far away as possible

Yang Yi's face was already drenched in sweat, yet it could not conceal the excitement in his expression

He currently possesses the Moonfall Bow, which, when an arrow is shot, can enhance boundless power. If he reaches the third level of Blood Condensation and gathers the blood power in his arm, his strength will greatly increase, allowing a single arrow to rival that of a master at the fourth level of Blood Condensation

At this moment in Qingyang Prefecture, everyone is on edge, fully aware that the third son of the lord has been murdered, with not even a trace of his remains found. The lord is in a furious state, and anyone who crosses his path is bound to face misfortune. Each person is exceedingly cautious, fearful of inciting the lord's wrath

Yang Yi glanced around once more, putting away his magical techniques and precious elixirs. He was uncertain whether Yang Shan was still alive, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being. The death of the son of the Lord of Qingyang Prefecture was indeed a significant matter.

The triple coagulation, gathering blood in the veins, the strength in my arms, compared to before, I do not know how many times more powerful it has become

Having acquired such terrifying power, the blood vessels in the arm could no longer withstand it, as if a dam had been completely shattered. The frenzied and violent force surged in like it had found an outlet, all madly flowing into the blood vessels of the arm

With determination, Yang took a large step towards the bearded old man.

Yang Yi lightly leaped, resembling a leaf, gracefully drifting downward. His form was exceptionally coordinated, demonstrating the considerable progress he had made in his cultivation over the past few months

The several young men in blue looked at each other, and then one of them stepped forward, steeling himself to say: "Reporting to the lord of the manor, the Third Young Master has... already been killed, and even the body has been devoured by wild beasts. I searched for a long time and only found these items!"

As the party involved, Yang Yi had already been running through the mountains and forests for more than a few months. During these months, he had been heading west, which was something he had heard from his deceased father, who said that by going west, he could leave Qingyang Prefecture and reach Jinyang Prefecture

At this moment, Yang Yi's arm was alternately swelling and shrinking, which was astonishing to behold. However, as blood flowed into the veins of his arm, Yang Yi felt the terrifying power within it. Previously, he could lift objects weighing a hundred pounds, but now he could likely lift a thousand pounds. The increase in strength was simply several times greater.

He slightly calmed his emotions. Although the "Binding Technique" was incomplete, Yang Yi felt somewhat disappointed. However, it is still a rare and precious high-level technique that is hard to come by, and even though it only has four layers, it is remarkable and possesses great power

Bai Liefeng fixed his gaze on the three men in blue attire before him. They were the backbone of the Qingyang Mansion, the Qingwei, and had always been Bai Liefeng's right-hand men, whom he valued greatly. However, at this moment, Bai Liefeng's expression was as dark as water.

Although Yang Yi had somewhat anticipated that reaching the third level of blood coagulation with the help of the Moonfall Bow would lead to a terrifying state, he did not expect it to be this formidable. With this arrow, even masters at the fourth level of blood coagulation would change their expressions in fear and would not dare to confront it head-on. If combined with Yang Yi's Three Sons' Chain, it would truly be a terrifying killing move

Yang Yi did not engage in immediate cultivation; he merely glanced at it briefly and then firmly committed the cultivation methods of the first four levels to memory. Cultivation cannot be achieved in an instant; it requires time for refinement.

The lord is unaware that his subordinates originally thought the same; however, after spending a considerable amount of time searching, they discovered that both the owner of that hunting lodge and the woman had completely vanished without a trace

This person is Yang Yi, and at this moment he is gazing at the vast city below, with a flicker of doubt in his eyes

This person is Bai Liefeng, the lord of Qingyang Prefecture, which governs an area of one hundred miles. To hold the position of a prefectural lord, one must possess at least the strength of the fifth level of Blood Condensation.

The fiery glow illuminated Yang Yi's face, making it appear exceptionally serious

Yang Yi extended his hand and took out a jade vial from his bosom, which contained a drop of the essence blood of Bai Yuancheng.
