[Stage: Level 8 Blood Refinement]
Qin Huai had already easily broken through the eighth Refinement with the long breath technique. He had also broken through level 50 concealment of spirit and qi, and his lifespan had reached an exaggerated 470 years.
He entered his dantian.
The sun grew larger and larger, and its terrifying power made the dragon pearl and the tigers and wolves on the ground more vivid.
The blood-red tigers and wolves on the ground often roared at the sky, and the purple-white dragon in the dragon pearl would go out at this moment.
The two of them fought in this dantian world, blood and white gas flying everywhere. There seemed to be an even deeper sphere in the purple ball of electricity that was very active, releasing even more astonishing electric arcs.
Nine dragons formed. Qin Huai could vaguely feel that his understanding of the techniques had become more realistic. As a result, he could use these martial arts techniques more easily and quickly.
What surprised Qin Huai was, his blacksmithing skills had quietly entered a new field: bejeweled weapon grade!
In his memories, his understanding of forging had deepened. During a certain forging process, it had already surpassed the scope of ordinary forging, and it had begun to infuse ‘soul.’
“The only thing I’m lacking now is to cultivate my force.”
Qin Huai looked at the momentum of the white dragon. It had already reached 37%. He only needed two months to complete it, and at that time, he would be able to start forging his own treasured weapon.
As for the experience required to break through the ninth refinement, it had been reduced from 3,000 to 1,500 per day. However, it was not a big deal. He could reach the ninth refinement realm in two months.
And today, there was a big event that he needed to attend.
“Brother-in-law, let’s go.” Li Buhu knocked on Qin Huai’s door.
“Alright.” Qin Huai walked as fast as he could. “I wonder if the force and poison in Azure Dragon Pass are effective against them?”
“I don’t know. No one has ever tried that before.” The moment Qin Huai opened his mouth, Li Buhu was immediately dumbfounded.
‘Brother-in-law is really heartbroken… What a wonderful idea.’
It was one thing to poison someone. Now that they were about to enter Azure Dragon Pass, his brother-in-law even wanted to poison the treasured weapon. It was totally unheard of.
“I fought with Wu Zian before and thought that poison should have an effect on force. However, the effect might not be too strong.” Qin Huai was pondering seriously.
Naturally, he had brought along all sorts of poisons to test the force in Azure Dragon Pass today.
“Brother-in-law, although this Azure Dragon Pass is called a pass, it’s actually a small room inside. After entering, the Azure Dragon Pass will release monsters… We call them force beasts, and killing them once is a stage,” Li Buhu explained to Qin Huai as they walked.
“Kill them all? Isn’t there only one force beast in each stage?” Qin Huai asked.
“Yes, the number of force beasts will increase with the level of the stage, adding one at a time. There are a total of ten rooms, and ten people enter each time.”
The two of them walked to Azure Dragon Pass. The entrance was actually a cellar-like pit, and there were a total of ten holes the size of pickled vegetable vats on the ground.
This was quite different from the mighty and domineering Azure Dragon Pass that Qin Huai had imagined.
“This is probably the difference between reality and ideals,” Qin Huai muttered to himself.
At the Azure Dragon Pass, there were already hundreds of young men and women standing densely together.
This was because Azure Dragon Pass would charge a registration fee of 2,000 taels for each test. This amount of money was within the acceptable range for most of the Nine Dragons sect’s martial artists. After all, martial artists, especially high-level martial artists, were all filthy rich.
Of course, some were extremely poor. This was not conflicting, because every high-level martial artist’s cultivation required a large amount of money to accumulate.
The registration fee of two thousand taels was enough to make most people very cautious when registering. After all, no one wanted to lose two thousand taels of silver every month.
“Alright, enter Azure Dragon Pass according to the order we have arranged!” one of the three dragon elders, who was in charge, shouted loudly. He had a serious appearance and looked at everyone impartially.
“Senior Brother, the seventh refinement is basically the seventh stage,” Li Buhu instructed before walking straight in.
“Brother Qin, how many rounds do you think you can pass today?” Zhang Haoyue appeared beside Qin Huai.
“Brother Zhang is really elusive. I feel that every time I appear, Brother Zhang will be watching by my side,” Qin Huai joked.
After experiencing Wu Zian’s assassination attempt, Qin Huai was convinced that the seemingly harmless Young Master Zhang was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Of course, Qin Huai also had conclusive evidence that belonged solely to him. That was, he and Zhang Haoyue were clearly very ‘affectionate’ every day when they met.
However, every time Zhang Haoyue gave him experience points, it was like a pool of stagnant water, without any movement. This was enough to explain the problem.
Moreover, he had heard from Fourth Uncle Li Zeshi that Zhang Haoyue was also involved in the matter of using him as bait.
“Hahaha… I just miss Brother Qin.” Zhang Haoyue smiled frankly. “Could it be that Brother Qin has forgotten our agreement?” He patted Qin Huai’s shoulder. “You and I are going to create a grand scene of the Zhang and Li families working together.”
“Of course, I won’t forget that.” Qin Huai was also smiling faintly.
After a while, he saw that the person in front of him had a nosebleed. He walked in under the instructions of the elder.
In the pitch-black cave, a green light flashed in Qin Huai’s eyes.
The bronze barrier exuded an ancient charm. There were all kinds of murals on the bronze wall, such as dragons, phoenixes, Xuanwu, and white tigers… There were also huge humanoid creatures and three-headed and six-armed monsters fighting each other.
All of them were lifelike, as if they had really existed before, and were carved on the bronze wall.
In the next instant, blue flames suddenly rose from the surroundings, lighting up the entire cellar.
Before Qin Huai could react, a cow-shaped creature that appeared out of nowhere charged at him.
The cow-shaped creature was somewhat transparent, as if its body was outlined by countless lines.
He became an existence that seemed both real and illusory… A force beast.
Qin Huai raised his hand and punched.
Bang!
The force beast shattered on the spot, turning into specks of light that dissipated within the Azure Dragon Pass.
“Ding! You have collected [Ancient Azure Illusion Force Comprehension] and unlocked [Ancient Azure Illusion Force]!”
