In fact, what Gou Zhu did, devouring demon flesh and blood, was just the most common cultivation method for demon realm cultivators. All foreign beasts, spirit beasts, demon beasts, etc., are the abundant aura of heaven and earth in the demon world, and they are naturally absorbed by those ordinary beasts. Its flesh and blood contained the aura of heaven and earth equivalent to condensed and refined.

It's just that although these spiritual qi are powerful, they are tightly attached to the flesh and blood, and they are not as pure as the Terran monks, and the so-called true qi injected into the divine consciousness is purer and more controllable.

Therefore, Xuanmen calls it qi and blood, not true qi. If the cultivation of qi and blood is placed in the human realm, it can be regarded as a cultivation method between qi cultivation and physical cultivation, which is called blood cultivation.

But blood cultivation has almost long disappeared in the human world. If nothing else, just because you want to cultivate qi and blood, it is almost impossible to rely on natural exhalation. The quickest way is to devour the flesh of other demons or humans.

In this way, he will naturally be able to take a part of the qi and blood cultivated by others as his own, and quickly improve his own cultivation, saving the long accumulation of vomiting.

Originally, the aura of heaven and earth in the human world was much thinner than that of the demon world, and there were few alien beasts and spirit beasts among living beings. It would be impossible to cultivate by devouring their flesh and blood.

The only way left is to eat the monk directly. Of course, this is not tolerated in the human world, so even if blood cultivation existed, it was still a great rebel, and it had already been annihilated by everyone.

The demon world is the heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy, and all things are prosperous. The endless birds and beasts are constantly devouring each other under the nourishment of these spiritual energy, and they have become alien beasts, spirit beasts and even demon beasts. And as long as the demon cultivators come to hunt wild demons, they can get the way to the upper realm.

In fact, the big clans of the demon world have long since abandoned the primitive and barbaric cultivation method of hunting blood food.

They will demarcate some areas with particularly abundant spiritual energy, breed wild demons in large quantities, and produce blood spirit stones on a large scale after a one-time slaughter. Then use the blood spirit stone to cultivate, so that you will not directly drink blood, and there will be a lot of civilization.

If Gou Zhu continued to cultivate in the way of qi cultivation, his qi sea had indeed reached its limit. However, if you cultivate in the way of blood cultivation, there is always something that does not overlap between the two, so the limit has not yet been reached. The sea of qi can be improved by another weight or so.

This is the tenth foundation of the legend. It's just that the path of blood cultivation is regarded as an evil heresy in the human world, and no demon in the demon world will take the path of qi cultivation, so this tenth foundation is rarely known.

As for Hook Punishment, for him, there is no good or evil in hunting and eating barbecue. It's just that the sea of qi can continue to expand, which is an unexpected surprise for him. Therefore, he was also very curious about how much this sea of qi could expand.

After all, before the formation of the Dan, even if the Qi Sea expanded a little, the Void Pill produced was also significantly different, this was hard power, and no matter how clever it was, it could not be compared.

What's more, these animal meats are indeed delicious. The process of hunting is much more enjoyable than when I was in the Jade Palace, where I meditated and condensed the Pure Yang Pill every day.

Since there was still a month before the Demon Participation Conference, Gou Zhu was not in a hurry to go to Taibai Lin at all, but instead became strongly interested in the "value" of various beasts. He tried to hunt all kinds of beasts, and found that every large beast contained more "value" in its flesh and blood.

The worst are birds like egrets and cranes, which are skinny and don't have much meat. It is probably for this reason that the three-eyed egret and crane clan can reproduce safely and eventually become a family clan.

In addition, the higher the realm, the more qi and blood power the beasts contain. Gou Zhu began to wander in the mountains, hunting wild demons that built seven or eight layers of the foundation. Sometimes they even turn back in the mountains.

There were also several times when he almost entered the territory of some Void Pill Demon Beasts. Fortunately, he was extremely cautious, and with the Blue Cold Spirit Puppet quietly exploring his way in front of him, he managed to escape before danger came every time.

Gou Zhu traveled around the wild Middle East like this, but Xie Sihai, who had been tracking him hard, was confused. There were several times when he almost thought that he had made a mistake in judgment, but in fact, the other party's goal was not to go to Taibailin.

But after several days, at last they were still noticeably closer to Taibailin, from five hundred li to three hundred li, then to two hundred li, and finally only one hundred li remained. Xie Sihai was therefore sure that the other party was indeed going to Taibai Forest. As for wandering around in circles in the wilderness, it is only a deliberate attempt to confuse them and try to get rid of the pursuers.

This does not necessarily mean that the other side has discovered that there are pursuers behind. Some people are so cautious that even if it is not clear whether someone is chasing them, they will deliberately take a detour to get rid of all possible tails.

In this wilderness, it is really miserable for the son of the Crane clan who has been in the city. At first, He Yan thought it was quite interesting to visit the mountains and rivers. But soon, he kept going back and forth, sleeping in the open every day, and soon it rained heavily in the mountains, flash floods broke out, and mud flowed sideways. It feels completely different.

There is no carved bed brocade quilt, no jade plate delicacies, no maidservants and concubines to greet him, and some of the objects he commonly uses at home are nothing, which makes him angry, but helpless.

The only thing that comforted him was that there was a woman in the team that he was so envious of. But this woman is extremely cold, usually no matter the wind or rain, she only sits quietly on the back of the lizard, almost unmoving. Nor do I eat anything with them.

When it was time to rest in the evening, she would set up a simple tent and sit alone in retreat, without speaking to anyone. In this situation where the water cannot be spilled, he is helpless.

He Yan was not disappointed. There is still a long way to go, since this woman is going to seize the demon spirit ginseng, the heroes gathered in the demon ginseng conference, and the danger is abnormal, if he can help this woman to win a medium-grade or even high-grade demon spirit ginseng, there will always be a chance to impress the heart.

In fact, Lian Ling retreated in the tent at night not for anything else, but for alchemy.

She is known as a medicine immortal, and she is very good at refining medicine, but alchemy is not a specialty, but it is also by no means comparable to the ordinary. There are two pills that she urgently needs to refine, one is the barrier-breaking pill that is hooked, and the other is the perfect demon pill. Comparatively, the former is easy and the latter is difficult.

When she was alone in the wilderness, she collected the raw materials of the Barrier Breaking Pill and the Demon Transformation Pill all the way, and when she was resting alone at night, she had to deal with the wild demons that came to attack from time to time, so there was really no time for alchemy.

But after she mixed into the team of this crane clan, there were three Purple Mansion Crane Demons who placed prohibitions around them, and from time to time they emitted the coercion of the Purple Mansion, and all night, except for the occasional roar of beasts from far and near, it was peaceful. It would be a shame if such a great opportunity was wasted.

She placed a ban inside the tent and used the magic power of the Purple Mansion to refine the pill, without any fireworks overflowing, and she didn't notice it at all outside. Although the five crane clans were scheming, they were all elegant people on the surface, so naturally no one would come to the door of one of her women's residences to peep.

Although the barrier-breaking pill used in the knot pill is common, the effectiveness of different grades is very different. Most of the barrier-breaking pills bought in the general Xuanmen treasure material stores are low-grade, and even medium-grade ones are rare. The Barrier Breaker will only appear at auction.

Therefore, Lian Ling had already decided to refine one himself. Originally, she only planned to refine a top-grade barrier-breaking pill at most. But she accidentally killed a purple wax scale at Lu's house and obtained a rare purple wax scale beast core. With this as a material, it is expected to refine a superb barrier-breaking pill.

There are more than 100 kinds of materials needed for the Barrier Breaking Pill. She collected all the way, and only collected seven or eight out of ten. What she didn't expect was that when she opened the immortal lotus left by Lu Baiyu, there were all the materials needed to refine a barrier-breaking pill, and all of them were of the highest grade. Many of the key materials are prepared in multiple copies, and even if you fail many times, you will not have a problem.

Actually, this is not surprising. Lu Baiyu's beloved son Lu Hao, if he hadn't died at the hands of Gou Zhu, he would have just been married. As the city lord of the Two Realms City, it was naturally not difficult for him to prepare these materials. It's just that I didn't expect it to be left for nothing.

Thinking of this, Lian Ling smiled slightly, she suddenly understood why Gou Zhu liked to take the sheep so much.

With a thought, she moved out of the fairy lotus a Dan furnace made of jasper. Several materials were put into the Dan furnace, and she transported the mana of the Purple Mansion and launched the Fire Escape Technique, precisely controlling the temperature of the Dan furnace.

Even if it was an ordinary pill like the Barrier Breaking Pill, its refining was not achieved overnight. First of all, several kinds of materials should be used to refine many intermediate products, and then gradually combined, with hundreds of steps.

It is extremely difficult to break the barrier pill from the middle grade to the top grade. To go from the top to the best, it takes more time and effort. The last 1 percent improvement often requires 200 percent effort.

She doesn't seek full success every night, but carefully tempers the intermediate products of each step repeatedly until she is satisfied, and then she finishes work to refine her spirits. In this way, the time taken far exceeds the normal alchemy process, and it can be regarded as a real slow work.

More than ten days have passed, and she is getting closer and closer to refining a real ultimate barrier-breaking pill.

One day at noon, Gou Zhu was in a dense forest, and after eating a big meal of beast meat again, he found that although he was full of true qi in the sea of qi, he could not expand it anymore.

Moreover, these true qi have been condensed in the body to the extreme, and they can no longer be condensed, and no matter how much they have, they can only be naturally dispersed between heaven and earth. If you want to seek the upper realm, there is really no other way than to condense the true qi in the sea of qi into the void pill.

By this time, the capacity of his Qi Sea had increased by about one-ninth compared to the time when the foundation building was ninefold consummated, and he had truly reached the rumored realm of the foundation building tenfold.

Even if an ordinary demon cultivator devoured the flesh and blood of alien beasts all day long, it was impossible for the realm to rise so quickly. It's just that Gou Zhu first cultivated the Qi Cultivation Foundation to perfection, and the ability to absorb and condense the power of these foreign Qi and blood is much stronger than that of ordinary demon cultivators.

The so-called accumulation of thick and thin, he has already accumulated a full nine folds, and the last step is just a beginning for the demon cultivator, but it is a matter of course for him.

Gou Zhu lay on a big stone warmed by the sun, burped, and looked leisurely at the lazy white clouds in the sky. A breeze blew and a wave of tiredness came up. With the Blue Han Spirit Puppet on guard all around, he slept comfortably. By the time he woke up in a daze, the sun was already in the west.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking to himself, there was no point in continuing to stay in the wilderness, it was time to go to Taibai Forest to get the 10,000-year-old best demon spirit ginseng king that Xiao Sufeng promised him.
