As Lu Qing entered the wooden house, a hint of envy appeared in the eyes of the Five Treasures Taoist.
At this point, he was completely certain that Lu Qing's trip to the ancient tower was to hunt down those guardian beasts and refine their bloodlines.
He had personally experienced the wonders of the bloodline extracted from the bodies of the strange beasts.
The improvement in physical strength was astonishing, even more miraculous than any elixir or medicine he knew.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability, like Lu Qing, to hunt down Golden Core level beasts as easily as eating and drinking.
He even estimated that even if he were given the bloodline of a Golden Core level beast, he might not be able to refine it.
After all, he had a hard time even refining the bloodline of a Foundation Establishment level beast, and there was still residual baleful energy in his body that he had not been able to completely resolve.
If one were to refine a Golden Core level bloodline, their physical body would likely be unable to withstand the impact and erosion of the baleful energy before it was fully strengthened.
Therefore, he could only envy Lu Qing.
Inside the wooden house, Lu Qing quickly extracted all the Witch's Essence Blood from the four black wolf beasts.
"Xiao Li, you go first and see if you can refine it."
Meeting Xiao Li's expectant gaze, Lu Qing smiled.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately swallowed a wisp of bloodline and began refining it.
Lu Qing remained still, observing quietly from the side to see if Xiao Li could successfully refine it.
Then he saw that after Xiao Li swallowed the Yuan Blood, her body began to tremble, but the tremor was not significant.
Clearly, the malevolent energy contained within this Golden Core level Yuan Blood is still within its tolerance range.
In the end, Xiao Li successfully refined the Yuan Blood without any major incidents.
"Ah Qing, my physical body has improved a lot, by a full third!"
Xiao Li opened her eyes and immediately reported with great surprise.
It should be noted that when it refined the Foundation Establishment level Yuan Blood to its limit, its physical body only increased by one-tenth.
But even a single wisp of Golden Core level Yuan Blood has an effect far exceeding that.
"It's good that it works. You can refine another strand of bloodline, and we'll each take half of the four strands," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"However, the malevolent energy of this Golden Core level Yuan Blood is much more potent. I'm afraid that if I refine a few more strands, I'll have to spend some time dissolving the malevolent energy, just like that Five Treasures Taoist," Xiao Li said with some distress.
"That's fine. We can store the bloodline and continue refining it after you dissolve the evil energy."
In the following time, Lu Qing and Xiao Li refined the remaining Yuan Blood.
Lu Qing's physical body strengthened by another two percent, while Xiao Li's strengthened by two-thirds.
However, Xiao Li also sensed that it could only refine one more wisp of Golden Core level Yuan Blood before it had to stop temporarily and spend some time dissolving the evil energy within its body before it could continue refining.
As for Lu Qing, the murderous aura was like a gentle breeze to him, having no effect whatsoever.
His only concern was that the effects of the Yuan Blood had their limits.
I wonder how many portions of the primordial blood of this early-stage Golden Core beast will be refined before it loses its effect on him.
Fortunately, it seems that the effects of the blood essence of a beast at the early Golden Core stage are still very strong, and we should be able to refine quite a few more portions.
"I just don't know if those powerful individuals will discover the secret of the primordial blood."
Lu Qing was helpless about this.
Those who can cultivate to this level are all shrewd and intelligent; even the slightest disturbance can trigger a lot of speculation among them.
His behavior of repeatedly hunting down guardian beasts was too unusual and would inevitably attract attention.
"It seems that next time we hunt alien beasts, we need to be more open and try to hunt as many as possible."
The reason why Lu Qing only killed one or two guardian beasts each time was naturally because he intended to hide his true strength.
Now that the situation has changed, he needs to adjust his plans.
The commotion at the ancient pagoda didn't last long before it subsided.
I wonder if those powerful individuals succeeded in hunting down the alien beasts, or what they researched.
Lu Qing did not rush to go there immediately, but waited until nightfall before quietly setting off.
"Second Senior Brother, it seems that Fellow Daoist Chen has gone out again."
A Qiankun Sect disciple on guard duty sensed the fluctuations in the formation and reported it to Qin Zheng.
"I understand, don't worry about it. You can go now and continue your night watch."
Qin Zheng, who was cultivating, opened his eyes and said calmly.
After the disciple left, a thoughtful expression appeared in Qin Zheng's eyes.
Lu Qing went to the ancient tower to hunt strange beasts one after another, and even he sensed something was amiss.
He guessed that Lu Qing's motivation was probably not just to comprehend the cultivation technique, but that he had other purposes as well.
However, since Lu Qing had done them a favor, Qin Zheng did not intend to ask further questions as long as it did not endanger the safety of his junior brothers and sisters.
Therefore, he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
In the darkness, Lu Qing led Xiao Li quickly through the dense forest and onto the plain.
Although it was pitch black, both Lu Qing and Xiao Li were able to see in the dark.
Furthermore, at their current level, their spiritual perception is sometimes even more convenient than their eyes.
Therefore, Lu Qing was still able to see the eighteen guardian beasts standing on the plain.
It's unknown how many exotic beasts those powerful figures hunted after he left, and how many times they replenished their numbers before him.
Looking at the guardian beast standing there, Lu Qing's gaze was calm.
This time, he plans to go all out; at the very least, he intends to hunt down and kill the nine Golden Core stage early-stage beasts on the outer perimeter.
If possible, try again and see if you can kill the beast at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing stomped his foot on the ground, and the Earth Vein Elemental Magnetic Domain unfolded.
This time, he deliberately expanded the scope of his domain, directly encompassing all nine Golden Core stage beasts on the outer perimeter.
The next moment, nine roars rang out.
His figure was like a dragon. In one step, he was already in front of a black wolf beast and threw a punch.
The black wolf beast's roar abruptly stopped. Before it could make a move, Lu Qing smashed its head open with a single punch, killing it instantly.
The bursting blood, before it had even fully hit the ground, was swept up by Lu Qing's divine soul power and, along with the corpse, was collected into the Qiankun Qi Bag.
Then, Lu Qing took another step forward, causing the ground to tremble. Propelled by his incredibly powerful physical strength, he reached his maximum speed.
Its body sliced through the air, unleashing bursts of wind and thunder, carrying rolling waves of air, and arrived before another black wolf beast.
boom!
With another punch, he blasted the head of the second black wolf beast to pieces. After collecting the corpse and blood, Lu Qing didn't linger and arrived in front of the third beast in the blink of an eye.
Thus, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° under the influence of his Earth Vein Elemental Magnetic Domain, the Golden Core Initial Realm Guardian Beast, whose speed was greatly reduced and whose movements were slow, was simply unable to avoid Lu Qing's fist.
He swiftly dispatched them, almost one punch at a time.
