As for the consequences of Cultivating the Blood Law that Luo Hongyan mentioned, he didn't care.
If he couldn't escape, then talk of his later life was meaningless.
Furthermore, he didn't consider this world a place he would live in forever; it was merely a 'tool' to cure his brain cancer in reality.
As long as it could improve his Cultivation, he didn't care if it was the Righteous Path or the Evil Path.
"I am willing to follow Master and Cultivate the Blood Law. Once I achieve something, I will immediately swear an oath with a Blood Oath Spirit."
Changqing knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Very good, very good."
Dan Ji said with satisfaction.
Luo Hongyan, who was beside them, wanted to persuade him further, but Changqing turned back and shook his head at her.
Luo Hongyan was helpless. In truth, she understood that this was the most compromise-oriented solution: Dan Ji would help them deal with Liu Lu's Blood Demon Spirit, and after they obtained the Hundred Flowers Token, they would release Dan Ji.
This was essentially betting their lives on whether Dan Ji would turn hostile and renege on her word.
"Since you have entered my sect, this Master's secret Cultivation Technique can naturally only be taught to you alone. Let this little girl beside you leave early."
After Dan Ji finished speaking, Changqing stood up, pulled Luo Hongyan, and walked towards the cave entrance.
"Have you really thought this through? Actually, we still have other methods; it doesn't have to be this way." Along the way, Luo Hongyan still advised him unwillingly.
"Things have come to this; there's no need for you to say more. After I Cultivate the Blood Law with Dan Ji, I will naturally obtain the method to break the Blood Demon Spirit. At that time, we can kill Liu Lu and leave. This is the best method."
"But what if Dan Ji recovers her strength after she gets out and becomes a threat to you?"
Changqing remained silent, not answering, until they reached the entrance of Liu Lu's Immortal Cave. Only then did he speak.
"Don't worry for now; I will have my own way to escape when the time comes."
Luo Hongyan nodded. He then said no more, turned, and stepped into the darkness of the cave.
......
"According to what you said, Liu Lu will return in three days to continue her seclusion for another three days, and then leave again, repeating this three times."
Dan Ji murmured to herself.
"Nine Heavens... should be enough for you to get started."
In the Blood Pool, Changqing sat cross-legged, naked, allowing Dan Ji's fresh blood in the pool to permeate his entire body.
"Master, Disciple has heard that Cultivators can only specialize in one Cultivation Technique and cannot Cultivate multiple Cultivation Techniques simultaneously. I previously..."
"Don't rush. This Master senses another aura of Cultivation within your body. It should be the Poison Law you Cultivated with that little snake, Liu Lu, right?"
"Normally, to Cultivate other Cultivation Techniques, one needs to first erase all the acupoints with Soul Cleansing Dew and start anew. Otherwise, different Cultivation Techniques can easily interfere with each other, causing the Cultivator to suffer Qi Deviation."
"However, your Cultivation is truly low, only at Shūhū Second Level, so these influences can be ignored. After all, Soul Cleansing Dew is still very precious."
Changqing understood clearly in his heart that the Poison Law he originally Cultivated would definitely affect his Blood Law Cultivation. It would naturally be best to erase it with Soul Cleansing Dew, but it was clear that Dan Ji didn't want to give it to him and intended for him to make do.
"First, let this Master see what your Natal Spirit is and whether it is suitable for Cultivating the Blood Law."
Changqing wasn't sure what a Natal Spirit was, but since he only had one Bone Spike Spirit, it should be his Natal Spirit. So, he took out the Bone Spike Spirit from his acupoint and placed it before Dan Ji.
"Oh? It's actually a Bone Spike Spirit. It seems you truly have a predestined connection with this Master."
"Is there anything special about this Bone Spike Spirit?"
Changqing was a little puzzled, so Dan Ji explained.
"Those with excellent innate talent will generate an innate Imperial Spirit within their bodies when opening their acupoints, which is called a Natal Spirit."
"This Imperial Spirit does not occupy any of the Cultivator's acupoints and can continuously evolve as the Cultivator's Cultivation improves. Most of the Cultivation Techniques and collected Imperial Spirits of Prodigies revolve around their Natal Spirit."
"For example, if a person's Natal Spirit is a Lightning Law Spirit, then that person is extremely suitable for Cultivating Lightning Law."
"However, most people with mediocre innate talent do not generate a Natal Spirit within their bodies at the beginning of opening their acupoints. Instead, the newly opened acupoints will absorb an Imperial Spirit from the surrounding Heaven and Earth that is most compatible with the Cultivator's Physique and refine it themselves. This first refined Imperial Spirit is their Natal Spirit."
"Although such a Natal Spirit does not have the advantage of continuous evolution like the innate Natal Spirits of those Prodigies, and like later refined Imperial Spirits, it also needs to occupy the Cultivator's acupoints, it can also indirectly indicate the type of Cultivation Technique most suitable for the Cultivator."
Dan Ji said with a slight sigh of emotion.
"This Bone Spike Spirit within your body is precisely a Blood Law Spirit. It should be some Low Grade Imperial Spirits that this Master scattered in this world after being severely injured. Over the years, they became ownerless spirits, and at the beginning of your acupoint opening, you absorbed it into your acupoint, and it became your Natal Spirit."
"It seems you are naturally suited for the Evil Path: low innate talent yet ambitious, insidious and cunning yet resolute and decisive, and even a Natal Blood Law Spirit, suitable for Cultivating the Blood Law."
Changqing didn't know if what Dan Ji said was true or false, but at least after Dan Ji learned that his Natal Spirit was a Bone Spike Spirit, her confidence seemed to increase greatly.
"Disciple, calm your mind and focus. This Master will now impart the Cultivation Technique to you."
"This Cultivation Technique is named, Blood Sea Other Shore Skill."
......
Changqing sat cross-legged in Liu Lu's Dan Room, a faint bloody Qi swirling around him.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, the blood-red color in his pupils gradually fading, and he shook his head, sighing.
"Without the nourishment of blood Qi, the speed of Cultivation is truly too slow."
After Cultivating with Dan Ji for three days, he rushed back to the Dan Room.
Liu Lu didn't feel any abnormality and was still in her crazy state. She just returned to the Dan Room once and then ran off to seclude herself in the Immortal Cave again.
He then took advantage of this time to Cultivate the Blood Sea Other Shore Skill that Dan Ji taught him in the Dan Room.
It must be said that the Blood Sea Other Shore Skill was extremely overbearing and powerful, completely different from the Love Bond that Liu Lu taught him.
And he didn't know if it was because he Cultivated in the Blood Pool and received the nourishment of Dan Ji's blood Qi, but his Cultivation speed was incredibly fast.
In just three days, his Cultivation actually increased from Shūhū Second Level to Shuhua Nine Revolutions!
It was an astonishing speed.
However, it was still far from what Dan Ji called 'getting started'.
According to Dan Ji, Cultivating the Blood Sea Other Shore could allow a Cultivator to grow three more organs than ordinary people.
Ordinary people only have five viscera and six bowels, while Blood Arts cultivators who Cultivate the Blood Sea Other Shore possess six viscera and eight bowels.
One viscus is named Human Sea, and two bowels are named Earth Palace and Heavenly Mansion.
Only by Cultivating one of these one viscus and two bowels can one be considered to have 'gotten started'.
These one viscus and two bowels are equivalent to three acupoints, but their true power lies in the fact that these three organs can each carry three Blood Law Spirits, regardless of their grade.
Even Heavenly Spirit can be carried.
One must know that even the most ordinary Low Grade Heavenly Spirit requires tens of thousands of acupoints to carry, and those more Advanced ones even require tens of thousands of acupoints to carry.
These three additional organs can carry three Blood Law Spirits of any grade, which is equivalent to having many more acupoints than other Cultivators.
Moreover, as Cultivation improves and one comes into contact with higher quality Imperial Spirits, this advantage will also grow larger and larger.
