"Master Shangguan has a solution?"
Qin Shi glanced sideways and asked in surprise.
Shangguan Ba, who was dressed in a robe embroidered with a golden dragon, walked to the center of the group and nodded solemnly. "Indeed. A few days after Young Master Shi left Leng City, a strange phenomenon occurred outside the city, forming a Spiritual Blood Pool."
"Spiritual Blood Pool?"
Everyone frowned. Even Qin Shi had never heard of this Spiritual Blood Pool.
Yu Luocha's body trembled in confusion. She looked at Shangguan Ba and asked, "Is it really the Spiritual Blood Pool?"
Seeing Yu Luocha's reaction, Xiao Xiaocai asked, "Sister Luocha, do you know about this Spiritual Blood Pool?
Can it help Father break through? "
Under everyone's burning gaze, Yu Luocha nodded in shock. "The Spiritual Blood Pool is an evil thing in the world. It is filled with pure spiritual energy. If one is lucky enough to soak in it, it can help Young Master Shi break through."
At this point, she deliberately paused and asked Shangguan Ba seriously, "However, as far as I know, the Spiritual Origin Blood Pool is formed in the tomb of an Almighty who is above the Heaven Realm, or in a battlefield where millions of corpses are piled up. In the entire Red Flame Empire's thousand years of history, the number of blood pools that have formed is less than five. Why would it suddenly appear in Leng City?
Shangguan Ba was stunned and said helplessly, "When the Spiritual Origin Blood Pool was formed, it was when my Shangguan Clan was at its weakest, so I only heard about it from hearsay. I am not very clear about the details."
His cloudy eyes turned and paused for a moment. He continued, "I heard that Young Master Shi was preparing to break through the shackles. I thought I might be able to help him."
Shangguan Ba was telling the truth. Qin Shi knew that. But, if what Yu Luocha said was true, why did Shangguan Ba tell him about the Spiritual Blood Pool?
He thought for a moment and smiled. "I'm afraid that the Spiritual Blood Pool is not just a coincidence, right?
There must be something else for you to tell me about it. Am I right? "
The people at the side were stunned and looked at Shangguan Ba.
Qin Shi's sudden words made Shangguan Ba's expression change. He spread his hands and smiled. "Haha, I do have something to ask of you."
"Is this favor related to the current situation of the Shangguan family?"
Shangguan Ba looked at Qin Shi in surprise and nodded his head hesitantly. "That's right. Now that the Shangguan Family has been defeated, the surrounding families are eyeing us covetously. The reason why we have been able to survive until now is most likely because of the Spiritual Blood Pool. However, once the blood pool storm is over, the Shangguan Family will definitely be besieged."
"How do you want me to help you?"
"Although the Spiritual Origin Blood Pool has been formed, it is still some time away from stabilizing. Once it stabilizes, it will definitely attract many experts to fight for it. I want to cooperate with little friend and take advantage of the chaos to take over the Blood Pool. At that time, not only will we be able to obtain the Blood Pool, the strength of the other families will also be greatly damaged. Once our Shangguan Clan uses the Blood Pool to recover our strength, we will no longer need to fear those scoundrels." Shangguan Ba explained his thoughts.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. "Is that so?"
If that was the case, he would not have any objections. However, Yu Luocha continued to ask, "If I remember correctly, one blood pool can only support ten people. If we take over this blood pool, how do you plan to distribute it, Master Shangguan?"
"Ten people?"
Everyone was stunned, including Shangguan Ba. Obviously, even he did not know about this. He raised his head and looked at Qin Shi. There were seven people beside Qin Shi, but he would definitely not agree to hand over seven people. Therefore, he said, "Little friend, about this matter, what do you think …?"
"Shangguan Family Head, I don't want much. Give me five people and I will cooperate with your Shangguan Family."
"Five people?" Shangguan Ba showed a difficult expression.
"If Shangguan Family Head is not willing, then I will not force you. Although I am not confident that I can take over the Blood Pool with my own strength, I am confident that I can get two or three people from the other families."
Qin Shi smiled. Then, he changed the topic and said sternly, "However, at that time, I am afraid that Shangguan Family Head will not be able to take one."
Hearing this, Shangguan Ba's expression turned ugly. Although Qin Shi's words were unpleasant, they were not without reason. With the current strength of the Shangguan Family, without Qin Shi's help, they would not even be able to protect themselves, let alone fight for the Blood Pool.
After struggling, he could only nod and say, "Okay, five it is. I promise you, little friend. However, I have another matter that I hope you can help me with."
"Hmm?
Tell me about it. "
After getting the answer he wanted, Qin Shi said with a smile.
"There are still seven days before the Spiritual Blood Pool stabilizes. I would like to ask you to help me refine some Wraith Talismans in these seven days. This will increase our chances of taking over the Blood Pool." Shangguan Ba said with a slightly fiery voice.
"Refine Wraith Talismans?"
Qin Shi snorted. Then, he said with a carefree smile, "Sure, but the Wild Beast must be from the Shangguan Family. Moreover, I will only refine ten a day."
"Okay!
I will send someone to look for the Wild Beast. "
Shangguan Ba was overjoyed. He knew about Qin Shi's ability to refine Wraith Talismans. With one hundred percent integration, not to mention ten, even one Wraith Talisman could greatly increase the strength of the Shangguan Family.
"By the way, in addition to the Wraith Talismans I need to refine for the Shangguan Family, I also need five Mystical Spirit Realm Wild Beasts of the water attribute." Qin Shi said again after thinking about it.
"Water attribute?
No problem. "
Shangguan Ba agreed heartily. Then, he immediately called for the servants to make the arrangements.
After the matter was settled, Shangguan Ba was very happy. He arranged a banquet at night to celebrate before letting Qin Shi and the others return to their rooms.
In the next seven days, Qin Shi stayed in the Shangguan Family. According to his agreement with Shangguan Ba, he helped the Shangguan Family refine ten Wraith Talismans every day. It had to be said that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. In these seven days, the Wild Beasts he refined were all of the Mystical Spirit Realm and above.
During this time, Shangguan Ba gave Qin Shi the five Water Attribute Wild Beasts he promised. Qin Shi refined them into five Water Attribute Wraith Talismans. These five Wraith Talismans were specially made for Xu Qiaoer, Yu Luosha, Xiao Xuan, Feng Heng, and Xiao Tianyue.
Among the five of them, there was a similarity. Xu Qiaoer and Xiao Xuan were only at the early stage of the King Spirit Realm. Xiao Tianyue was only at the mid stage of the King Spirit Realm. Although Yu Luosha was at the peak of the King Spirit Realm, she was poisoned by the Heartless Yin Yang Talisman. Feng Heng's cultivation was above Qin Shi's, but the resentment of the Heaven Shrouding Totem was very deep. Therefore, for the five of them, the backlash from normal Wraith Talismans was very strong. Only the gentle power of the water attribute could resolve it.
Qin Shi was unusually serious as he refined these five Wraith Talismans.
Each Wraith Talisman was formed by completely eradicating the wild nature of the Wild Beasts and shattering their Knowledge Sea through the Hexagonal Spirit Trap Array.
On the evening of the third day, Qin Shi successfully refined the Wraith Talismans. Only then did he sit down cross-legged and cultivate his spirit power. After that, he cultivated the first and second levels of the Profound Heaven Saint Scripture until his Knowledge Sea reached the limit that he could endure. Only then did he reluctantly stop.
Sitting on the bed, he tightly clenched his fists.
Next, he had something very important to do. His cold black eyes opened indifferently. In the depths of his eyes that were as deep as the night, there was a flash of light. "There are still four days until the blood pool stabilizes. It should be time to cultivate the third level of the Meteorite Tyrant Body Art. Thinking about it, I have really delayed it for a long time."
The Meteorite Tyrant Body Art was once Qin Shi's trump card. It was just that in the later stages, the first two levels could no longer satisfy him.
However, he had never given up on the Meteorite Tyrant Body Art. This was because he knew that the potential of the Meteorite Tyrant Body Art was definitely not inferior to a rank seven martial art.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his palm, a hard white bone appeared. It was the jawbone of the Scarlet Blood Lizard that Qin Shi had secretly left behind during the Charm Master Competition.
The third level of the Meteorite Tyrant Body Art, Bone Refinement.
Cultivating the Meteorite Tyrant Body Art once again, Qin Shi had a long-awaited joy. This Meteorite Tyrant Body Art was not only a martial art to him, but also the beginning of his friendship with Lin Yu.
Releasing his spirit power, it flickered with a rather mysterious golden light. Soon after, under the brilliant halo, pieces of golden scales grew along his skin like a python shedding its skin.
The scales reflected a brilliant light. Immediately after, it was the second level of Tendon Refinement. The Flood Dragon Tendons in his body were like rattan vines, rolling and tightening. The veins were like venomous snakes slithering under the scales.
After opening the first two levels, Qin Shi began to circulate the third level.
"Break!"
With a low roar, the wild spirit pressure was like a ferocious beast. It rolled up the Scarlet Blood Lizard's jawbone and rushed towards the beam. It was like a sharp boning knife, constantly grinding the top of the beam. It had to be said that the Scarlet Flame Lizard was worthy of being a desolate beast comparable to a true dragon. Under the overflowing spirit pressure, it endured for a full half an hour before the outermost layer of defense was broken. Soon after, it turned into pure white powder that drifted away like snow in winter.
Qin Shi's mouth opened and the powder entered his mouth.
The powdered bones were hard and did not move. Under Qin Shi's urging, they flowed along his blood vessels and covered every inch of his bones. When the bones collided with each other, it caused a piercing pain.
"Hiss!
When the ancients studied martial arts, couldn't they be more gentle? Why did they have to torture themselves like this?
Even if they wanted to show their strong willpower, they shouldn't do it like this, right? "
As the bone powder mixed together, the original bones shattered piece by piece and were gradually replaced by the Scarlet Flame Lizard's jawbone. Every time a new bone was merged, Qin Shi had to endure a heart-wrenching pain that was like being bitten by a corpse worm.
After a total of two hundred and six transformations, it was already deep into the night.
Boom!
A loud sound came from his entire body. The transformation of his bones caused his strength and physical body to reach a qualitative leap. A layer of bones as hard as black iron covered his golden scales. From afar, he looked like he was wearing a platinum battle armor. He looked extraordinarily mighty.
"Did I succeed?"
Suddenly, Qin Shi's eyes widened. At this moment, he felt full of strength. With his current physical body, he was confident that he could easily block a direct attack from a Heaven Realm expert.
"The next level is Spirit Refinement. At that time, my spiritual power will definitely soar again!"
Everything was ready. His black eyes flashed with anticipation. "Next, I just have to wait for the blood pool to stabilize. Then, I will make the final breakthrough."
