In the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, an expert warned. Rising Sun's expression changed and he quickly withdrew his mental strength.
"Tianyun, if you have the ability, go to the Inscription Battle Arena and have a fair battle with me!"
Rising Sun stared at Lu Ming.
The Inscription Battle Arena was the place where the disciples of the Talisman Puppet Sect competed.
"Not interested!"
Lu Ming said and strode away.
During this period, the nine dragons bloodline had been weak. Lu Ming was worried that there would be repercussions and had long wanted to try devouring the blood essence. Now that he had finally obtained the blood essence, he couldn't wait to go back and test it out. How could he be in the mood to compete on the Inscription Battle Arena?
If he could deal with it here, he wouldn't mind doing it.
Lu Ming left the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and flew directly to Cloud Peak Residence.
"Hmph, he's just a coward. What right does he have to become a Zongzi candidate?"
Rising Sun snorted when he saw Lu Ming leaving.
"Who knows how Tianyun managed to become a Zongzi candidate? He's clearly afraid of you, Big Brother, and doesn't dare to fight with you. Once you do, he'll give himself away!"
Xu Shan sneered.
In the main hall of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, others also shook their heads. They thought that Lu Ming didn't dare to compete with Rising Sun.
And such rumors spread throughout the Yin-Yang Mountain through the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
After Lu Ming returned to Cloud Peak Residence, he went straight to his room and sat down cross-legged.
A jade bottle appeared in his hand. There were nine pearl-like drops of demonic beast blood essence in it.
Grade 6 Lv 6 demonic beast blood essence.
With a thought, the nine dragons bloodline emerged.
Nine silver chakras appeared around the nine dragons bloodline. However, the light was dim and the nine dragons bloodline seemed to be weak.
Lu Ming controlled the nine dragons bloodline and sucked the nine drops of demonic beast blood essence into his mouth. He began to refine them.
Slowly, as the power of the beast's blood was absorbed by the nine dragons bloodline, the nine silver chakras became brighter and brighter.
Two hours later, the first blood essence was refined. Lu Ming took out a Class 6 Lv 6 demonic beast's blood essence and refined it.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Lu Ming continuously refined more than ten portions of the blood essence of the demonic beasts. Finally, the nine dragons bloodline regained its vigor. The nine silver chakras shone brightly and the speed of refining the blood essence also increased by a notch.
Lu Ming continued refining. In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
In four days, Lu Ming had refined all fifty sixth level grade Blood Essences, but his nine dragons bloodline still hadn't reached the Divine grade.
"What's going on? Fifty blood essences of sixth level beasts are not enough for me to level up. I was able to reach the God Realm before I devoured so much blood essences. But now, I've already devoured more blood essences than before. Why haven't I levelled up yet? "
Lu Ming furrowed his brows.
He was worried that the nine dragons bloodline wouldn't level up because of the explosion of the chakras. That would be a great loss.
"Impossible. It must be because I haven't devoured enough blood essence. Keep devouring!"
Lu Ming gritted his teeth, took out a Class 7 Lv 6 demonic beast's blood essence, and continued to devour and refine it.
The blood essence of a Class 7 Lv 6 demonic beast was four or five times thicker than that of a Class 6 Lv 6 demonic beast.
Lu Ming continued to devour the blood essence.
Lu Ming was so focused on refining the blood essence that he was oblivious to what was going on outside.
In the past few days, Tianyun's name had spread like wildfire in Liangyi Mountain.
On the second day of Lu Ming's closed-door cultivation, other geniuses ranked in the top 300 on the List of Top 1,000 Talents challenged Lu Ming. However, Lu Ming didn't accept the challenge.
Subsequently, rumors about Lu Ming not daring to accept the challenge and that he was weak spread like wildfire.
Some geniuses even went to Cloud Peak Residence to challenge Lu Ming. However, Bai Chi Xue used the excuse that Lu Ming was in closed-door cultivation to activate the formation of Cloud Peak Residence and turned Lu Ming away.
Thus, the rumors that Lu Ming was cowardly and incompetent became even louder.
Some people even suggested to the Elder Council that Lu Ming be stripped of his position as Zongzi candidate and move out of Cloud Peak Residence. However, the suggestion was rejected.
Many geniuses gritted their teeth and waited for Lu Ming to appear and defeat Lu Ming in public. Then, they would see if Lu Ming would still have the face to continue being a Zongzi candidate.
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had been in closed-door cultivation for seven days.
Lu Ming had refined ten more Class 7 Lv 6 blood essences.
At this time, Lu Ming finally felt that the nine dragons bloodline was about to evolve.
"This time, the amount of blood essence consumed is several times more than the previous time. Is this the aftereffect? However, as long as it can evolve, it's worth it. No matter how much blood essence is consumed, it's worth it."
A smile appeared on Lu Ming's face.
"However, evolving the divine bloodline will cause too much of a commotion. I have to find a secret place to do so. I'll ask Bai Chi Xue if there's a secret place!"
Thinking of this, Lu Ming went out of the room and saw Bai Chi Xue frowning and in a daze.
"Chi Xue, why are you in a daze?"
Lu Ming walked over and said with a smile.
"It's all because of you. During this period, everyone came to challenge you. You hid and cultivated, but I sent them all away!"
Bai Chi Xue glared at Lu Ming and pouted.
"Challenge me? I knew it!"
Lu Ming smiled.
He had long known that many people would come to challenge him. It would be strange if they didn't.
"What's your plan? Are you going to go out and fight with them? "
Bai Chi Xue asked.
"I'm not free now. I have to go into seclusion for a while. When I come out, I'll deal with them together," Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Deal with them together? You're very confident. Among them, there are close to the top 100 geniuses. Although the Talisman Puppet Sect is not as strong as the Emperor God Divine Palace and the Heavenly Corpse Sect, there are still more than 30 geniuses ranked between 100 and 300 on the List of Top 1,000 Talents. These are all your opponents. Can you deal with them? "
Bai Chi Xue obviously didn't believe him.
"It's okay!"
Lu Ming smiled and asked, "Is there a quieter place here where no one will disturb us? Where even if there is a commotion, there won't be a big impact on us?"
"Yes, the Wind Martial Cave. It's not very useful for the cultivation of the Way of Inscription, so very few people go there. Moreover, it's full of caves. Just pick one and no one will know no matter how big the commotion is!"
Bai Chi Xue Xue said.
"Okay, the Wind Martial Cave it is. I'll go into seclusion for a while!"
After saying that, Lu Ming left Cloud Peak Residence. According to the map, he turned into a beam of light and flew toward the Wind Martial Cave.
The Wind Martial Cave was hundreds of thousands of miles away. With Lu Ming's speed, he soon arrived.
The Wind Martial Cave was full of jagged rocks. Here, there were huge rocky mountains that were more than 10,000 meters high. There were huge caves on the mountains, and the wind was blowing out from each cave.
Lu Ming rushed in, randomly chose a cave, and flew in.
Although Lu Ming was fast, the news that he had entered the Wind Martial Cave was still discovered by others. Soon, the news spread throughout Liangyi Mountain.
"Finally, Cloud Peak Residence!"
