#202 - Condensing the essence of blood, dripping blood to recognize the master
"Little black sheep, I'll call you little black sheep!"
"You dare call this venerable one a little black sheep?"
"I'll kick you to death! Kick you to death! I'll kick, kick, kick!"
A three-foot-tall black sheep was kicking a coiled-up flower snake on the ground several times.
It kept muttering and grumbling under its breath.
It didn't seem to tire.
The flower snake ignored it. On the other side, Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi were busy discussing how to forge magical artifacts.
Finally, after a while, Taotie couldn't bear it anymore.
This damned flower snake had thick skin and flesh. If it didn't use its true power, it would probably be like tickling it.
It even heard snoring!
Seeing that the idea of extorting some blood energy was not going to work, it flickered and arrived above Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi.
"Little green snake, what's wrong with this flower snake?" it said to Lingxiao. "Why does he fall asleep whenever he wants? You don't care about him being so lazy?"
"Little Flower has always loved sleeping since he was little, just let him be," Lingxiao waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry, wait for him to wake up and then ask him if he wants to complete the contract with you."
"... ...! Who's worried!" Taotie immediately jumped up. "This venerable one is not anxious! He should be the one who's anxious!"
It shouted loudly, "If I'm not happy, I won't make a contract with him!"
"Hehe." Lingxiao smiled and didn't say much. Her eyes turned and she asked, "Senior, do you have any insights on how to refine a magical artifact that can sail on the Chaos Sea?"
"I heard that the Taotie clan is fierce and gluttonous, and doesn't understand cultivation. I'm afraid they don't know how to refine artifacts either," Ling Yunzi naturally interjected. "Second sister, why do you embarrass Senior?"
"Provocation! Is that provocation?" Taotie crossed its arms and looked at them askance. "This venerable one will not be fooled again."
"If Senior is willing to help and can be of assistance, I'll tell Big Brother to give you some more blood energy, how about that?"
"... ... Alright!"
Taotie glared and flew to the middle of the two, "Let this venerable one see what spiritual materials you have. I'll also teach you how to refine them."
"Senior, are you proficient in refining artifacts?" Ling Yunzi raised an eyebrow. "Have you ever refined any treasures? Why don't you tell us about them?"
"Hmph!" Taotie couldn't help but flick its tail. "Although this venerable one has never refined any treasures, this venerable one was personally refined into a treasure by the Demon Emperor!"
"If you believe this venerable one, no one knows more than this venerable one how to refine artifacts!"
"... ..."
"... ..."
"Listening to this, although it sounds like a dark joke, thinking about it carefully, what it said is actually true," Xu Chengxian thought to himself.
The Demon Emperor refining artifacts, there shouldn't be many onlookers.
And Taotie must be one of them.
As the object being refined, it must have felt a lot.
This is probably similar to the principle of becoming a doctor after a long illness.
Seeing that Taotie was stopped by Lingxiao, it shouldn't bother him again, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Chengxian thought that he had just excitedly said that he wanted the other party to recognize him as the master, but because the system reminded him that he suddenly wanted to go back on his word, and couldn't find any reason, so he simply yawned and pretended to be sleepy, and lay down to sleep, and couldn't help but want to sigh.
"Clumsy, too clumsy."
But clumsy is clumsy, as long as it's useful.
"System, broadcast the previous information again," he slandered himself in his heart while thinking, and asked the system to say the message again.
Xu, who was clumsy in acting, although he heard clearly, still wanted to confirm it again.
[Okay, Host.]
[Ding Dong!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Taotie Crimson Blood Array Flag cast by the Demon Emperor!]
[The system can help the host condense a drop of original blood essence to perform a blood contract.]
"Why do I have to use the original blood essence?" Xu Chengxian asked.
[The Demon Emperor is the true owner of the Taotie Crimson Blood Array Flag.]
[In the beginning of ancient times, the Demon Emperor and the Taotie clan made an oath, and then separated their divine soul and flesh to help their clan escape the fate of being wiped out by the Heavenly Dao.]
[After the Demon Emperor cast the array flag with the Taotie clan, he used the oath as an agreement and blood as a contract. Heaven and earth bear witness, and it will never change.]
"If I understand correctly," Xu Chengxian paused and said, "Does that mean that if I want to fully control the array flag, I have to use the original blood essence to replace the Demon Emperor's blood?"
[Ordinary blood essence contains insufficient blood energy and cannot replace the Demon Emperor's blood, nor can it repair the array flag.]
"Understood," Xu Chengxian said.
This is a disguised answer to his doubts.
Ordinary blood essence is heart blood.
He knew this.
"What is original blood essence?" He had never heard of this, so he directly asked the system.
[Original blood essence is also called essence blood.]
"How to condense it? How much blood energy is needed?" Xu Chengxian made a reasonable deduction. Essence blood is inseparable from blood energy.
[10 blood essence energy can condense 1 point of essence blood energy.]
[100 essence blood energy can condense a drop of original blood essence, which is essence blood.]
"... ... Whoa!" Xu Chengxian clicked his tongue.
From the system's description, combined with what Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi had said before, he roughly cleared up some things.
This crimson blood array flag, which seals the fierce soul of Taotie, is different from ordinary demon clan military flags. It was refined by the first Demon Emperor.
Because the one who made the oath with the Taotie clan was the Demon Emperor, and the one who recognized the master by dripping blood was also the Demon Emperor. Subsequent controllers only have the right to use it, not the ownership.
This may be because the power of the array flag is too great, or for better dispatch and control of the military formation.
In short, if you don't understand the reason here, you can't fully master the array flag.
"I don't know whether the Flood Dragon King, as the master of the Southern Demon Region, doesn't understand that he needs to use the original blood essence to recognize the master, or is reluctant to part with the original blood essence."
This question couldn't help but pop up in his heart.
Because, he was also a little reluctant.
No, not a little.
But very reluctant.
Heartache.
"Blood essence energy is not easy to come by!"
After thinking about it, he habitually checked his current family assets first.
[Host: Xu Chengxian]
[Race: Water-Avoiding Snake]
[Rank: Great Demon Realm (Advancing to Demon General Realm requires condensing 10,000 points of blood essence energy)]
[Blood Energy: 16,603,320]
[Blood Essence Energy: 2,633]
[Physical Realm: Essence Realm (34,226 / 100,000)]
[Soul Realm: Essence Soul Realm (36,614 / 100,000)]
[Mystical Power Combat Skills: (Mystical Power: Devouring and Refining, Bewitching Hissing, Size Change, Snake Shedding (Combat Skills: Snake Bite, Snake Entanglement, Five Elements Art, Snake Tail Swing]
[Refining Points: 0 / 20]
"... ... Hiss ~ " In an instant, Xu Chengxian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in his heart.
There is nothing to say about the physical realm and the soul realm.
If these two are regarded as two growing trees, then the growth can be completely described as gratifying.
After all, all the system tasks completed from swallowing the Heaven-Mending Pill to now, and the refining point rewards issued, have all been used on this.
There are also refining the Heaven-Mending Pill and swallowing dragon eggs, as well as daily growth, and the total of all these added up.
The speed of improvement is very considerable.
So what made him gasp was not these two points.
But blood energy.
"This is really the first time."
The first time I saw that the blood energy not only did not increase compared to the last time I saw it, but also decreased by several million.
And this was also under the premise that the Heaven-Mending Pill added nearly 40 million blood energy.
In addition, normally speaking, he can also increase by more than 2 million blood energy a month.
"More than 4 million of them were condensed into blood essence energy when swallowing and refining the Heaven-Mending Pill," Xu Chengxian calculated the two largest expenditures, "Besides that, it was robbing the Crimson Blood Array Flag."
It cost him a full 40 million blood energy!
In this way, although the blood essence energy has also increased a lot, it still can't make him feel particularly excited.
Especially since it may still be needed now, consuming 1000.
Thinking about it this way.
It hurts even more.
Is it consumption, or not?
"The system has never tricked me."
On the contrary, with the existence of this system that can grow by sleeping, there is the current him.
Under this premise, he is prepared to trust the system.
Xu Chengxian didn't hesitate for too long and made a choice.
... ...
A moment later.
Xu Chengxian opened his eyes.
His tail moved and rolled the Crimson Blood Array Flag on the ground over.
Then he opened his mouth and spat out a drop of scarlet blood beads.
Whoosh—
The blood drop entered the flagpole of the array flag.
Immediately, bursts of light emerged from the flagpole.
Countless mysterious imprint runes emerged.
At the same time, the little black sheep not far away suddenly trembled.
He suddenly turned his head, and couldn't help but stare in anger:
"Damn it!"
"Ugly flower snake!"
"What did you do to this venerable one!"
