Chapter 166: Chapter 92: Transcendental Iron-Cutting Sword! Three Blood Refinings!_2
Thinking of this, Su Changkong nodded and said, “I heard of the young gang leader and second lady’s fame when I first joined the Giant Whale Gang, and I’m flattered by your esteem. Of course, I am willing!”
Seeing Su Changkong agree, Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang both revealed smiles, no matter what, Su Changkong had tremendous potential, and today’s investment was totally worth it!
Thereupon, the three of them held a simple swearing-in ceremony with drinks.
“Big brother, second sister,” Su Changkong called out after the ceremony.
Sikong Zhan patted Su Changkong on the shoulder. “Third brother, you call me big brother, but I have nothing to give you, so let these three Blood Refining Pills be a meeting gift!”
Sikong Zhan took out a jade box and handed it to Su Changkong.
“Blood Refining Pills?”
Su Changkong’s eyes lit up.
A single Blood Refining Pill was worth as much as ten or twenty Qi-Blood Pills, and its medicinal power was formidable!
Giving out three valuable Blood Refining Pills at once was undoubtedly a grand gesture!
Sikong Huang, standing aside, said, “This Blood Refining Pill’s medicinal power is overbearing, and martial artists at the Qi-Blood Veil level should not take too many. However, since you practice the Giant Whale Skill, your body is unique, and it should help you reach the next level in a short time.”
“Thank you, big brother,” Su Changkong expressed his gratitude and accepted the gift.
Su Changkong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief; becoming sworn brothers with the Sikong siblings had resolved the hidden worries of cultivating the Giant Whale Skill, and there was no need to fear that the Sikong Family’s leader faction would be detrimental to him because of this.
With Su Changkong’s talent and potential, any sensible person would choose to pull him in rather than become enemies.
Afterward, Su Changkong pondered and voiced his doubt, “Now that the Giant Whale Gang is divided into two factions, just with the gang leader’s authority, he only needs to show his face to stabilize people’s hearts and avoid internal strife. Why has he not appeared yet?”
In the gathering a few days ago, it was clear that most Giant Whale Gang disciples still favored the leader’s faction, but Sikong Yong’s prolonged retreat had given Meng Sang the opportunity to exploit!
“Our father is at a critical moment in his retreat and cannot be disturbed. However, do not worry, his talents are unmatched, and it probably won’t be long before he achieves a great success,” Sikong Zhan said simply.
Listening to this, Su Changkong nodded slightly, but he understood that things were not so simple.
Even in seclusion, it was unlikely for a gang leader not to show his face for five or six years, nor would he fail to arrange everything before the retreat, Su Changkong guessed there must be some problem!
“Third brother, it is inconvenient for you to show yourself in public at the moment, so just continue to rest here for now. Once we deal with that traitor Meng Sang, we will clear your name,” Sikong Zhan said afterward.
Previously, Su Changkong had killed Li Lie and Qi Chenghong, and had been labeled a traitor infiltrating the Giant Whale Gang by Meng Sang’s propaganda; now, in the eyes of everyone in the Giant Whale Gang, he was a despised traitor.
“Alright,” Su Changkong agreed; his task now was to strengthen himself until he had the power to cut off Meng Sang’s head!
Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang left, and the great hall was left silent with only Su Changkong remaining.
As for Su Changkong, he hoped for more of this peaceful time to fully concentrate on his martial arts training; with his needs met and resources plentiful, he could practice without worries!
“These three Blood Refining Pills should be enough for me to break through to the Qi Blood Three Transformation, right? Besides that, I need to diligently study the Blade Technique to take it to the next level.”
Su Changkong had a cultivation plan as well.
The three precious Blood Refining Pills, given to him as a meeting gift by Sikong Zhan to win him over, Su Changkong accepted them, intending to refine all and complete the Qi Blood Three Transformation.
In addition to the pills, blade practice was another focus; Su Changkong had been steadily progressing in his study of the Iron Cutting Blade Technique since he joined the Giant Whale Gang.
Furthermore, having recently practiced the Whale Five Skills, he contemplated integrating the essence of the Whale Five Skills into the Iron-Cutting Blade Technique!
For example, the essence of Giant Whale Exhales was also about accumulating power to unleash a powerful strike. This could blend perfectly with the drawing stance of the Iron-Cutting Blade Technique, potentially making Su Changkong’s sword-drawing strike even faster and more terrifying in speed and strength, and allowing the accumulated Blade Qi to explode with even more ferocity and intensity!
Acting on his thoughts, Su Changkong started his blade practice. With an innate talent score as high as 22 points, his comprehension was exceptional, and with enough practice, he would inevitably grasp the essentials.
“Let’s try out the effects of the Blood Refining Pill!”
Su Changkong poured out a Blood Refining Pill from the jade bottle.
The Blood Refining Pill was deep red all over and about the size of a fingertip. Just smelling it made one’s blood surge.
A Blood Refining Pill is generally taken by practitioners at the Qi-Blood Three Transformation to break through a bottleneck or by those at the Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke Realm for easier digestion, otherwise, its potent nature could damage the body.
But Su Changkong, practicing the Giant Whale Skill with a physique different from that of martial artists at his level, qualified to consume it!
Tilting his head back, Su Changkong swallowed a Blood Refining Pill and began his cultivation.
“Hoo!”
As the power of the Blood Refining Pill unleashed, Su Changkong felt a tremendous surge of medicinal power racing through his body, causing his skin to turn slightly red with a faint scorching sensation!
“This medicinal power… indeed surpasses the Qi-Blood Pill by tenfold! But… the stronger the better!”
Su Changkong’s spirit lifted as he unreservedly practiced punching and sword techniques, using vigorous exercises to accelerate the refinement of the Blood Refining Pill.
Streams of medicinal power continuously merged into Su Changkong’s body, gradually strengthening his Qi and Blood. It radiated outwards, forming a scarlet veil!
Practicing the Giant Whale Skill gave Su Changkong a digestive ability far superior to his peers, enabling him to refine the medicinal power of the Blood Refining Pill.
