130 Chapter 115: Monster Beast Essence Blood_i
Translator: 549690339
Integrating the essence of countless beasts, this process creates infinite changes and wondrous possibilities!
In simple terms, it’s about incorporating the blood essence of monster beasts into one’s body, stimulating the essence, and acquiring the monster beast’s divine skills and talents.
Depending on the type of monster beast blood, naturally different abilities would be gained.
The ’twelve’ in the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill represents the pinnacle of this secret method. At its peak, it can fuse the blood essence of twelve different monster beasts.
Some monster beasts excel at attacking, some at evasion, some are known for speed. With this one technique alone, one can utilize an array of abilities and gain infinite solutions.
Once mastered, it might not make you invincible, but it will make you versatile and powerful.
Though the abilities of the average monster beast might not be notably strong, the talents of certain ancient or divine beasts can be quite terrifying. Fusing with just one could significantly enhance one’s power.
Most importantly, with this ability, there will be no need to laboriously practise other skills.
Just by selecting a few suitable monster beasts, one can suddenly acquire many divine skills.
Not to mention that it also provides certain special talents!
For example, if you merge with a waterborne monster beast, you can move freely underwater.
If you merge with a tree-born monster beast, you could directly absorb the energy of the earth.
If you merge with a soil-born monster beast, you can freely move through the earth itself.
In short, the potential of this secret technique is immense.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it the best among those practiced in the Outer Sea!
According to the introduction of this secret technique, reaching proficiency enables fusion with one beast, reaching the perfection realm allows integration with two more, the master level enables fusion with another three, and reaching the Grandmaster Realm allows the further fusion with six.
As for transcending the realm, you can freely change the previously fused monster beast blood and can simultaneously fuse the blood essence of more than two monster beasts.
Indeed, it’s truly an application of endless variations and boundless uses.
Xu Mu was greatly excited after reading about it. He felt he had struck a great bargain this time.
■Only a few low-grade Spirit Stones for such a top-tier secret technique – this is something that would make you laugh in your dreams!”
Xu Mu originally wanted to promote the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill to a higher realm, but found that he did not have enough pills.
While the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill is not exactly a body refinement technique, it also consumes energy and transforms the body.
This transformation consumes lesser energy compared to the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body.
The problem is that he has scant pills.
He did not bring many when he set out, and he consumed a significant amount on the way.
In the end, using up all the Blood Sun Pills, he was only able to improve the skill to proficiency; 8417/10000.
Always, pills to replenish vital energy had been an issue for him.
If not for the shortage of pills, his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body would have reached the master level by now.
It was troublesome in the Inner Sea, and now in the Outer Sea, it is even more troublesome.
This is because the order here is chaotic, making it quite difficult to have a stable supply channel.
“These issues cannot be solved in a short while. Better to focus on what type of monster beast blood essence to merge with first!”
Since it is the first monster beast, according to the secret information, it is best to merge with a beast whose properties match your own to avoid mishaps.
Xu Mu does not like to take risks, and naturally would not choose some strange properties.
In the vast ocean, however, finding a beast with similar properties to his, is really not easy.
He has two properties. One is fire, the other is thunder.
The fire attribute goes without saying, to find it in the sea, he would really have to be extremely lucky.
So his target can only be set on the thunder attribute.
Preferably it would be a waterborne thunder attribute!
If he can fuse with such a waterborne monster beast, then he can explore freely under the sea.
Apart from those coming from mysterious locations, a major part of human cultivators’ resources come from the seabed.
However, the pressure at the bottom of the sea is immense and not suitable for human activities, plus with the presence of the Sea Race, collecting resources from there is very difficult for humans.
Every year, countless cultivators are claimed by the ocean in such endeavours. If he could gam the ability to move freely under the sea, whether for gathering resources or running away, he would have a significant advantage.
The reason why the Sea Race were rampant and difficult to deal with was precisely because they took advantage of the convenience of the sea. After entering the deep sea, even if their opponents were a whole realm higher, they still couldn’t do anything to them.
If Xu Mu could gain the same ability as the Sea Race, under the condition that the Nascent Soul doesn’t leave, he could basically live without any worries.
If he offended a high-level player on land, he could just hide in the sea.Fantasying about a bright future, Xu Mu sent Xu Yiren a message, asking her to keep an eye out for any thunder-attributed sea monsters.
Xu Yiren was already doing this, so naturally, she agreed immediately.
In the following days, Xu Mu concentrated on alchemy, and after using up all the medicinal materials, he took pills to cultivate.
After a few days, Xu Yiren sent a message saying that his waist tag was ready, and the Gang Leader had also sent a message inviting him to visit Black Tide Market, where he would hold a celebration party for him joining the Whale Sea Gang. Several Foundation Establishment cultivators would also be there when the time came.
Xu Mu thought for a moment, and then agreed.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since he had joined the Whale Sea Gang, he should get to know the people in the gang.
With two Immobilize Talisman on his person, he wasn’t afraid that the others would set a banquet trap for him.
When the time for the banquet was almost there, Xu Mu changed into a fairly solemn robe, left his cave dwelling, rode on his flying sword, and flew towards Gourd Market.
He was going to meet Xu Yiren and then go to Black Tide Island together.
The three market islands that the Whale Sea Gang controlled were Gourd Market – where Xu Yiren was stationed, Black Tide Island – where the Gang Leader of the Whale Sea Gang, Whale Falling Chen, was stationed, and Stone Man Island – which was under the jurisdiction of another deputy leader.
Of the three islands, Black Tide Island was the biggest and most prosperous.
“Friend Xu is indeed a man of his word!”
Xu Yiren, who had been waiting on the island for a long time, felt relieved when she saw Xu Mu.
She was genuinely afraid that Xu Mu would stand her up.
This kind of thing had happened before, everything was agreed upon, but then the person was nowhere to be found when the time came.
The main reason was that the Whale Sea Gang really had no binding force, and others could come and go as they pleased, there was nothing you could do about it.
Besides, the mobility of Outer Sea cultivators was generally high. Even after joining the gang, many people left after a few days.
So Xu Yiren really wasn’t sure if Xu Mu would keep the appointment.
“Friend Xu, you are too kind!” Xu Mu said with a bow.
Today, Xu Yiren was wearing a dark purple robe that accentuated her voluptuous body in a very attractive way.
Friend Xu, you don’t have to be formal! Just call me Yiren!”
Xu Yiren looked at him with smiling eyes, radiating a faint fragrance from her body.
I dare not! I shall continue to address you as Friend Xu!”
Xu Mu instinctively took half a step back.
“Whatever you like, Friend Xu!”
Xu Yiren didn’t get angry either. She showed quite a bit of friendliness to Xu Mu, and it was unclear whether she wanted to get closer or had other ideas.
Could it be that even such a small gang couldn’t avoid being vulgar?
Xu Mu wondered to himself.
“If you have no other matters, we can set off now!”
Xu Mu nodded, and then Xu Yiren released a blue Flying Boat, asking Xu Mu to get on, while she stood at the bow of the boat, leaving Xu Mu with a wonderful back view.
Xu Yiren squeezed the Finger Jue and controlled the Flying Boat to slowly take off. When the boat was steady, she walked over and sat next to Xu Mu, her pretty face apologetic, “Friend Xu, I’m really sorry about the monster beast essence blood!”
“Friend Xu, don’t blame yourself, I was just saying it casually!” Xu Mu said with a smile.
He was not very hopeful in the first place. He was just not ready to go to the big market, and that’s why he mentioned it to her.
“Thank you for understanding, friend! I’ve talked to the Gang Leader about the monster beast essence blood. He says that when you get to Black Tide Island, there may be a surprise waiting for you.” Xu Yiren said with a hint of a smile in her eye.
“Oh? Does the Gang Leader have some suitable monster beast essence blood?”
“I’m not sure about that! I suppose, when you get there, you’ll know!”
The two sat on the Flying Boat, chatting casually. Soon, an elliptically shaped island, which was more than twice the size of Gourd Market, and surrounded by a ring of dark seawater, came into sight.
They had arrived at Black Tide Island..!
