CHAPTER 60
Marrow Transformation Stage
"It's Rong Hui from King Rong's Mansion!" Commander He said.
"Rong Hui? How could the Heavenly Blessing Pavilion have anything to do with Rong Hui? Could it be that he has also taken a fancy to Mo Yi Yun? "
Bai Xingjian was taken aback. He felt that he could not afford to offend Rong Hui. Rong Hui was the youngest brother of Rong Hao, who was much younger than Rong Hao. He was only twenty-three years old, but his cultivation had already crossed the body-refining stage. He was an incredible genius!
Many people believed that if Rong Hui did not fall midway, he would have the chance to be conferred the title of Marquis in the future!
Just the thought of a single clan producing a King and a Marquis was terrifying!
"Young Duke, Rong Hui didn't do it himself. It was one of his trusted aides."
Chief Steward Bai knelt on the ground, crawled forward a few steps and said, "I've heard from the staff of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion that this matter is most likely related to a Weapon Refiner. Not long ago, the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion auctioned off a low-grade magic weapon at the Purple Cloud Auction House … according to my deduction, it's very likely that Rong Hui has some relationship with this Weapon Refiner, so he gave this face and let his trusted aide come forward."
"So, the problem lies with this refiner … Go and investigate. Also, slow down the recent actions against the Heavenly Blessing Pavilion. Once we find out the details of this refiner, we'll deal with them together!"
Bai Xingjian thought for a moment and said expressionlessly.
As it turned out, King Rong's brother and a refiner were involved in the matter. It was no longer a trivial matter, and Bai Xingjian should've stopped. However, when he realized that all his efforts had turned out to be in vain, he couldn't have been more regretful!
…
Fifteen days later, the Purple Cloud Auction House sold a low-grade magical weapon called the Fire Flood Dragon Spear. When Zhen Qi was injected into the spear, a three-meter long Fire Flood Dragon would shoot out. It was extremely powerful. It was sold for two million silvers, which was the price of a mid-grade magical weapon. It was a new record for low-grade magical weapons in Battle Emperor City.
The next day, many creditors of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion came to express that the debts owed by the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion could be deferred.
Some large families had also sent important figures to establish relationships with the Heavenly Blessing Pavilion in order to purchase artifacts.
On the third day, a clan that was ranked very high among the first-rate clans bought a low-grade magic tool, the Fire Python Whip, from the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion for 1,800,000 taels of silver.
The originally deserted Heavenly Blessing Pavilion became as crowded as a marketplace again.
…
"Grandmaster, according to your instructions, other than the auction house's fees, all the gold has been exchanged for Blood Nourishing Pills. A total of 1200 pills!"
Elder Jia cautiously made sure that no one was following them. He arrived at the inn where Luo Zheng was staying and handed his backpack to Luo Zheng.
One thousand and two hundred Blood Nourishing Pills were worth three million and six hundred thousand taels of gold. It was quite a large amount, and there was a full bag of them.
Luo Zheng nodded and took it. He sighed inwardly, "Too slow, it's still too slow. Eighteen days have passed, and after deducting the cost, I've only earned two million taels!"
Although Luo Zheng could refine ten or more magic tools in a month, he couldn't sell ten magic tools in a month. It wasn't that he was afraid that no one would buy, but that it would be too shocking. Refining ten magic tools in a month would definitely cause a great sensation and bring about a lot of trouble.
"Grandmaster, I don't know if you can refine a mid-grade magic tool. An elder of the Jin Clan said that he has a piece of demonic beast bone and wants to refine a mid-grade defensive magic tool. As long as you succeed, he's willing to pay three million taels of silver."
Elder Jia smiled.
"Three million? That's too little! "
Luo Zheng shook his head. After refining a few low-grade magic tools, he now had some confidence in refining a mid-grade magic tool.
Originally, three million taels of gold to refine a mid-grade magic tool wasn't a small amount. However, Luo Zheng knew that there were very few blacksmiths who could refine magic tools from demonic beast materials, and even fewer who could refine defensive magic tools.
This Jin Clan elder's demonic beast bone must have been in his hands for a long time. He couldn't find a suitable blacksmith, so he had to ruthlessly rip him off!
These rich and powerful families were all overflowing with wealth, so he definitely couldn't be polite!
After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng stretched out a palm and said, "Tell him that five million taels of silver is a fixed price. If he wants to bargain, he doesn't need to come to me. Also, during this period of time, I need to concentrate on cultivating. When I come out, I'll go to the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion! "
"Five million!"
Elder Jia sucked in a breath of cold air. The price had nearly doubled. If that Jin Clan elder could agree, he would definitely be a sucker.
After a while, Elder Jia left.
In these ten days, other than the four days he spent refining, Luo Zheng spent most of his time cultivating martial arts.
Lightning Spike, Falling Star Fist, Flying Star Step, Galloping Horse Strength!
There was also a part of the time that he studied the Through Heaven Record's formation scroll. Finally, he had some understanding of formations.
Luo Zheng entered the quiet room and prepared to break through to the Marrow Transformation Stage.
In order to reach the Marrow Transformation Stage, he had to refine his blood like mercury.
The thicker and denser the blood, the higher the chances of success in breaking through to the Marrow Transformation Stage.
In order to reach the stage of refining blood like mercury, he would need a large amount of elixirs. The elixirs would be converted into blood, increasing the density of the blood in the body. Then, he would have to continuously accumulate the elixirs before he could break through in one go!
Generally speaking, other martial artists' blood tempering process would take at least two years. They would have to continuously refine elixirs and convert them into blood before they could reach the Marrow Transformation Stage.
As for those geniuses from the rich and powerful families, they would need at least three months to reach the Marrow Transformation Stage through various means!
But Luo Zheng didn't need that!
"With the Through Heaven Sword Formation helping me to refine the elixirs, I should only need ten days!"
Luo Zheng muttered. With a swipe of his finger, his Qi was like a knife. The leather pouch filled with Blood Nourishing Elixirs was instantly cut open. He suddenly opened his mouth and sucked. More than ten Blood Nourishing Elixirs flew into Luo Zheng's mouth.
Crash!
In an instant, more than ten Blood Nourishing Elixirs were sucked into the Through Heaven Sword Formation. Soon, they were converted into pure elixirs and blended into his blood.
Luo Zheng felt that his blood was quickly becoming viscous. At first, his blood was like a clear stream, flowing cheerfully.
As more and more elixirs were converted into blood, it was like a stream being injected with more water. It became bigger and bigger, turning into a surging river full of destructive power.
Residence of White Crane Marquis.
"Young Marquis, I've found out that the refiner is staying in an inn. Yesterday, that old dog surnamed Jia exchanged the gold he got from selling the magical weapons for Blood Nourishing Elixirs and sent them to the inn."
Steward Bai reported. His eyes were red.
3.6 million taels of gold had been exchanged for Blood Nourishing Elixirs. Was this refiner eating elixirs as if they were rice?
"Have you found out the identity of this person? Who else is he in contact with?"
Bai Xingjian asked coldly.
"I've already asked the staff of the inn. They all said that this person lives in seclusion and hardly goes out for more than ten days. Other than that old dog surnamed Jia, he doesn't have any contact with anyone else. It seems that he doesn't have a deep relationship with Rong Hui!"
Steward Bai answered.
"Good! Ask Commander He to bring two experts to keep an eye on him. Find an opportunity to kill him! Remember, you must do it secretly. Otherwise, you don't have to come back. "
Bai Xingjian said with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Young Marquis, what should we do with those Blood Nourishing Elixirs?" Steward Bai licked his lips and asked greedily.
"You can divide them among yourselves. Take it as your reward!" Bai Xingjian was expressionless, but there was a hint of hatred in the corner of his eyes. "How dare you ruin my plan."
Luo Zheng refined the Blood Nourishing Elixirs rapidly. The density and density of his blood became higher and higher.
It was as if a torrential downpour had lasted for ten days and ten nights. Finally, a flash flood broke out and yellow mud rushed into the river, roaring violently.
This kind of energy kept accumulating!
One day, two days …
Five days, six days …
On the tenth day, Luo Zheng felt all the blood in his body burning. His already powerful strength kept increasing. It was as if his blood had turned into magma that wanted to burn everything!
"I don't use True Qi now. Just the strength of my physical body alone is several times stronger than other Blood Tempering Realm cultivators!"
Luo Zheng was shocked. This kind of increase in strength was beyond his imagination.
However, this was normal. After entering the Blood Tempering Realm, every increase in cultivation level would increase one's strength tenfold. This was an extremely terrifying increase. It was a true rebirth!
At this time, the accumulated energy in his blood began to transform into True Qi, and his strength skyrocketed!
Suddenly, Luo Zheng felt that the flow of the blood in his body slowed down. It had reached a bottleneck!
This feeling was as if a hundred-mile wide river had suddenly reached a one-mile wide river. The energy would keep accumulating, and if it couldn't be released, it would explode and destroy everything! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
"Now's the time!"
Luo Zheng roared!
He guided all the energy and poured it into the sea of Qi!
"Marrow Changing Realm!"
Boom!
His blood turned into True Qi and rushed into the sea of Qi. It was like a hundred streams flowing into the sea, a tiger returning to the forest, and a dragon returning to the ocean!
…
A day later, Luo Zheng left the inn and went straight to the Martial Market.
Some shops in the Martial Market had small teleportation portals that could lead to various places in the Hundred Battles Dynasty. However, the cost was shocking. Ordinary people couldn't afford it.
"I rushed from my hometown to the Imperial City to participate in the Five Beast Army assessment. I couldn't even afford a Flood Dragon Blood Horse. I could only rely on an inferior horse. It took me one day and one night to travel one thousand two hundred miles. Other than the resting time for the horse, I could only travel about six hundred miles a day. It took me more than five months."
Luo Zheng recalled the hardships of a year ago.
At that time, Luo Zheng had framed his father and sent him to the Frigid Wastelands. Luo Zheng swore that he would obtain the Imperial Dao Golden Talisman to absolve his father of the crime. He left behind a letter and left without a single cent. He traveled 100,000 li to Imperial Battle City.
At that time, Luo Zheng lived in the open every day. He was hungry and cold, and almost lost his life a few times.
"After the winter break, it will be spring. During the assessment of the Five Saints Army, the number of recruits is different every year. Maybe there will be fifty, or maybe there will only be five. It might not be the same this year. There are many hidden talents in the Five Beasts Army. I can't relax. I have to seize the time to improve my cultivation and work harder. When the winter break comes, I will go back to see my mother and sister. If my mother knows about my current achievements, she will be very happy."
The Cold Wilderness was too harsh. He could lose his life at any time. He had to save his father as soon as possible. Luo Zheng didn't want to waste a moment.
"Hmm, someone is watching me!"
