Wanghai City.
Quiet room.
Lin Sheng sat cross-legged, with a large piece of fresh raw meat in front of him, emitting a strong smell of blood.
He reached out his palm and directly shattered the Yao Beast meat, turning it into a vivid blood mist, which was then absorbed into his body.
With the activation of the Advanced Mimicry Talent.
Instantly, Lin Sheng felt the Qi, blood, muscles, bones, and meridians in his body begin to change.
From the outside, Lin Sheng's entire body was trembling at an extremely fast speed, with his skin constantly bulging and Depression, repeating endlessly.
After an incense stick's time passed, golden-yellow patterns spread out from his skin.
As the golden-yellow patterns became more solid, several golden-yellow scales appeared on his arm.
Half an hour later, Lin Sheng opened his eyes, his face also covered with golden-yellow patterns, looking quite eerie.
He curled his lips into a smile.
"Indeed, the Advanced Mimicry Talent is already sufficient to mimic Yao Beast-level exotic beasts."
Feeling the changes in his body, with a thought, all the golden-yellow patterns on his body retracted, finally gathering on his left arm.
Several thick golden-yellow scales completely covered his left arm, and it was noticeably swollen by several circles compared to its normal size, making his entire figure look quite disproportionate.
Lin Sheng raised his left arm and gripped it a few times.
"This Heavy Yin King Python, among Yao Beasts, can only be considered average, possessing extremely strong crimson poison, but apart from that, its other attribute enhancements are not very good."
Before mimicking, he had naturally checked the information on this Yao Beast.
"Next, it's time to try whether the Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange Secret Method can refine its Bloodline."
Lin Sheng muttered to himself, with no intention of further delay.
He immediately began to circulate the methods of the Blood Swallowing Stage.
Soon, a small opening slowly stretched open at the location of his heart in his chest, like a vortex emitting a strong pulling force, slowly drawing the Qi and blood within his body.
The Qi and blood within his body passed through this heart vortex with little obstruction, directly flowing back to their original locations.
Only the Qi and blood in his left arm seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, and even as the pulling force of the heart vortex continuously increased, not a single drop of blood could be drawn from his left arm.
Feeling this, Lin Sheng frowned slightly.
He immediately controlled the muscles of his left arm to squirm, directly crushing the entire left arm's bones, along with the flesh.
After doing this, the invisible wall of the left arm seemed to be broken, and finally, a sticky blood clot, reddish with streaks of golden-yellow, slowly emerged.
It slowly flowed towards the heart.
This process was very slow, taking a full half an hour for all the sticky blood clot in his left arm to flow into the heart vortex.
Unlike the unobstructed flow of other blood in his body before, this time the sticky blood clot was continuously squeezed and permeated within the vortex.
It constantly deformed and twisted within the heart vortex.
The heart vortex was like a flesh and blood millstone, and the sticky blood clot was hard beans.
Under the grinding and squeezing of the flesh and blood millstone, Impurities were slowly squeezed out, retaining only the essence within.
This process was even slower, and by the time darkness fell, only a trace of the sticky blood clot had been filtered out.
"It's done!!"
Lin Sheng opened his eyes, feeling the pure energy that had appeared in his body, a look of pleasant surprise on his face.
Although the process was much slower than he had imagined, it was indeed feasible.
This also meant that he could completely cultivate the Blood Swallowing Realm, and the effect would even be better than the conventional Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange Blood Swallowing.
With a thought from Lin Sheng, that trace of filtered pure energy was already digested by his body.
He could clearly feel that with the digestion of this trace of energy, his physical quality had gained another slight enhancement.
"Is it an enhancement in agility?"
Although this slight increase was extremely weak, not even manifesting as a full point of enhancement, with his mastery over his body, he could determine that its enhancement direction focused on agility.
Soon, Lin Sheng seemed to realize something, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
"This Heavy Yin King Python is known for its crimson poison and agility enhancement, perhaps this is why the refined Bloodline enhances agility."
"Although the pure energy after refinement can be directly absorbed, there are still some differences between them, and this should be related to the type of exotic beast being refined."
"From this perspective, even Yao Beasts cannot be refined casually, after all, the Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange Secret Method has an upper limit, and the Bloodlines that can be refined are limited."
Thinking of this, Lin Sheng simply canceled the refinement of the remaining Heavy Yin King Python Bloodline.
For him, although the Heavy Yin King Python was a Yao Beast, the direction of its enhancement was not very suitable for him.
Lin Sheng stroked his chin, pondering.
He immediately called Bai Can and ordered him to go to the military to borrow books related to Yao Beasts.
The Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange was a rare opportunity to strengthen himself, and he naturally could not waste it easily; he had to treat it with caution.
Bai Can's movements were not slow, and within half an hour, he had returned with a thick stack of books.
With Lingyu Princess's endorsement, the Wanghai City military department was extremely cooperative with their requests.
So, among these books, there were quite a few rare ancient texts.
For the next period, Lin Sheng immersed himself in the books.
Although the number of books was quite large, with his reading speed, he had read them all within just half an hour.
It had to be admitted that the books sent by the military department contained extremely detailed descriptions of Yao Beasts.
Among them were many powerful Yao Beasts that he had never even heard of.
Lin Sheng filtered out the suitable parts from the many Yao Beasts, then recorded them all, and ordered Bai Can to send them to Wanghai Villa.
Next was to wait for news from Lingyu's side.
Until suitable Yao Beast meat was sent, the Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange Secret Method could not continue to be cultivated for the time being.
In fact, compared to Yao Beasts, the Ink Sea Dragon Horseshoe Crab was undoubtedly more suitable; a Physique-type Void Beast could be said to be extremely appropriate.
It was just a pity that he only had a few drops of Void Beast essence blood in his hand, which was not enough for significant use.
Moreover, the Advanced Mimicry Talent simply could not mimic Void Beasts; he had also tried to mimic the Ink Sea Dragon Horseshoe Crab with essence blood, but unfortunately, the result ended in failure, making it impossible to mimic even a tiny bit.
The gap between Void Beasts and Yao Beasts was too large; unless the Mimicry Talent Advanced further, there might be a possibility of successful mimicry.
But this was not realistic; even with the blessing of Void Beast essence blood, exotic beasts like Qi Yu (Lacquer Fish) could at most barely enter the ranks of Advanced Spirit Beasts.
And this had already reached its limit; wanting to enter the ranks of Yao Beasts was nothing short of a pipe dream.
"Forget it, I'll completely shed the Demonic Remains first."
Having made up his mind, Lin Sheng quickly entered a state of secluded cultivation.
He began to consciously control the refinement of the Demonic Rhyme, accelerating the process of the Demonic Remains' transformation.
Soon, twisted black patterns spread across Lin Sheng's body.
This time, for the enhancement direction of the Demonic Remains' transformation, Lin Sheng still chose Physique and strength as the main focus.
These two attributes were the highest two on his current panel, so he naturally wanted to carry the advantage through to the end.
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
For 5 days, Lin Sheng had been in secluded cultivation.
At this moment, inside the quiet room, a chilling cold filled the entire space.
Lin Sheng's eyes were tightly closed, the black patterns surging on his body almost completely covered his skin, but compared to the beginning, their color had visibly faded a lot.
Finally, as Lin Sheng's eyes suddenly opened, a sharp light burst forth from them.
The black patterns on his body rapidly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they completely disappeared.
At the same time, continuous explosive sounds of muscles and bones emanated from within Lin Sheng's body.
It was clearly visible that his skin bulged outwards, and his entire figure became noticeably taller and stronger by a circle.
"Hoo…"
Lin Sheng took a deep breath, like a whale swallowing or an ox drinking, absorbing all the chilling cold in the room into his body.
He only stopped when he had completely returned to normal.
Creak…
Moving his neck, Lin Sheng only felt that the Qi and blood in his body were significantly more vigorous, and there was a sense of abundant power, as if he could crush space with a gentle squeeze.
The fact that he had this illusion clearly indicated that the gains from this transformation were significant.
With a thought, his attribute panel appeared before his eyes.
【Lin Sheng】
【Realm: Bones Transformation】
【Strength: 22】 【Physique: 23】 【Agility: 18】 【Perception: 13】 【Spirit: 5】
【Talent: Dragon Elephant Power】
【Talent: Ji Hai Magic Blood】
"Strength and Physique both increased by two points!!"
Seeing the attribute changes on the panel, Lin Sheng exhaled heavily, the strong airflow directly creating a deep hole in the hard stone slab.
"Indeed, as the Realm improves, the enhancement brought by each Demonic Remains transformation also increases significantly."
Clenching his fist and feeling the powerful strength within his body, Lin Sheng's face showed a joyful smile.
It seemed like only a two-point increase for each, but his strength and Physique had increased by nearly forty percent compared to before, which was already a huge improvement.
"Even without incorporating any exotic beasts, I'm afraid no one in the Divine Form is my opponent, not even Peak Divine Form!"
As for Grandmaster experts, they still needed the enhancement of incorporated exotic beasts to contend.
"However, if I encounter that Thousand-hole Squid, I should have a sixty to seventy percent chance of being able to keep it."
Lin Sheng thought to himself.
He was pondering when to visit the Misty Sea Area again to find that large squid.
However, considering the powerful Yao Beast that caused the Thunderstorm of Absolute Destruction, he temporarily dismissed this idea.
Since Dark Star chose the Misty Sea Area as its retreat, he would undoubtedly go there in the future, and it would not be too late to search for the Thousand-hole Squid then.
He got up, tidied himself up, changed into clean clothes, and then pushed the door open.
Today was the day he had agreed with Lingyu for island viewing.
Since he had already agreed, he naturally would not break his promise, and fortunately, he had completed his cultivation in advance, so there was no delay.
Outside his residence, a military carriage had already been waiting early.
Lin Sheng got into the carriage with great strides, and the carriage immediately headed towards the seaside outside the city.
Before long, they had arrived at the pier.
"Your Excellency Lin Sheng, we meet again."
By the pier, Hong Ye was quietly waiting, and upon seeing Lin Sheng alight from the carriage, he immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.
At this moment, his gaze towards Lin Sheng was even more respectful than before.
As a military officer, and a high-ranking one at that, he had already heard some rumors in the past two days.
The first person among the younger generation of the royal family, Lingyu Princess, who was highly valued by the current Jing Emperor and regarded as his precious jewel, suddenly had an engagement.
This matter could be said to have caused a stir throughout the military and the royal family.
After all, although Lingyu Princess was only a Princess, her status was far from comparable to that of an ordinary princess; if anyone became her consort, then they would definitely hold a pivotal position in the royal family in the future.
Although it was not yet clear who the future consort would be.
However, Hong Ye already had some suspicions in his heart.
The mysterious consort was most likely the person in front of him.
After all, only he could make Lingyu Princess travel thousands of miles to the Eastern State to personally receive him, and even accompany him into the dangerous Misty Sea Area.
Especially today, she had even invited Lin Sheng to go island viewing together.
Who didn't know that Lingyu Princess was a martial arts fanatic, and would never have such leisure time on ordinary days.
So he was almost certain that this Lin Sheng was the future consort.
When he realized this, he felt a little uncomfortable, after all, there were many young talents in the military who wanted to win the Princess's heart, and without exception, they all returned disappointed.
Now that an outsider was getting the benefit, he was naturally a bit displeased, but when he thought of the bloody scene of Lin Sheng tearing apart a Yao Beast, his slight displeasure immediately vanished.
He had to admit that Lin Sheng's strength was too terrifying, far beyond what the younger generation of military officers could compare to.
"Hmm, Vice General Hong, why is it you?"
Seeing Hong Ye, Lin Sheng said with some surprise.
"I am responsible for sailing the ship for the Princess and Your Excellency Lin Sheng this time."
Hong Ye explained with a smile.
"Is that so? Then I'll trouble Vice General Hong."
Lin Sheng nodded, understanding.
"Your Excellency Lin Sheng, please follow me aboard the ship; Your Highness is already waiting on board."
Immediately, Hong Ye led Lin Sheng onto a military ship docked at the pier.
Although this ship was not as large as the three giant warships from before, it was by no means inferior to a typical large merchant ship, and its entire hull was also made of black gold iron wood.
On the deck, hearing footsteps.
The slender figure, who was looking at the vast ocean, turned her head, and upon seeing Lin Sheng, her heroic face bloomed into a smile.
It was none other than Lingyu Princess.
The moment he saw Lingyu Princess, Lin Sheng couldn't help but lose himself for a moment.
The beauty was as before, radiant and bright.
Compared to before, Lingyu Princess now had a bit more femininity about her.
Dressed in a purple long dress, her curvaceous figure was faintly discernible, and a fair, long leg was revealed, as smooth as ivory jade.
Her eyes were as clear as water, with a hint of joy on her face, coupled with the unique nobility of the royal family, making it difficult for people to look away.
Seemingly noticing Lin Sheng's momentary distraction, Lingyu Princess's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said softly.
"Your Excellency Lin Sheng, does Lingyu look good today?"
"Your Highness's beauty surpasses that of before," Lin Sheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lingyu's heart swelled with even more joy, and she lowered her head, whispering.
"Let's go. Although Butterfly Island is not far, it will still take half a day."
Soon, the ship left the shore and gradually sailed away.
However, what no one noticed was that half an hour later, a small boat also left the shore, and from its direction, its destination was clearly Butterfly Island.
