Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

At this moment, Lin Xiuzhu set an example, boosting their confidence greatly.

After all, Lin Xiuzhu single-handedly activated thirty percent of the efficacy; even if one person reaches less than twenty-five percent, it’s still sufficient.

”Brother Lin’s qi and blood power is unexpectedly strong to such an extent, we will definitely be able to enter inside this time!” said the Blood Spirit Saintess excitedly.

However, in the next moment, they all looked towards Li Ji’an.

The Yin Ghost Saint Child was even more threatening: ”This time you must exert yourself to force out your essence blood, if this activation fails due to your insufficient essence blood, hmph...”

Lin Xiuzhu and Blood Spirit Saintess also showed a trace of concern in their eyes.

In the next moment, the Yin Ghost Saint Child followed suit, forcing out a drop of life essence blood to inject into the fragment pendant.

Buzz~

The pendant glowed bright red again.

What made the three of them furrow their brows, however, was that the essence blood of the Yin Ghost Saint Child only activated fifteen percent.

”This...” His expression instantly darkened, quite incredulous.

Lin Xiuzhu and Blood Spirit Saintess also furrowed their brows and looked at him.

”Why is this happening? Although the old ghost is at Tier One Body Refining, and his qi and blood aren’t as abundant as Brother Lin’s, the difference shouldn’t be that large. By Brother Lin’s standard, he should be able to activate twenty-five percent this time...” Blood Spirit Saintess said with a suspicious face.

Lin Xiuzhu maintained a composed expression and did not respond, as he also didn’t know where the problem lay.

”Damn!” Not receiving Lin Xiuzhu’s response, Blood Spirit Saintess immediately used the Blood Attraction Secret Technique to probe into the Yin Ghost Saint Child, quickly identifying the issue.

”The Yin Fiend cultivated by the old ghost significantly erodes his essence blood, although his qi and blood look strong, internally he’s already hollow, and his life essence blood is insufficient.”

All three suddenly understood.

”Blood Witch, we’re relying on you!” Yin Ghost Saint Child shook his head helplessly, looking at Blood Spirit Saintess.

”Blood Kite, as long as you can reach three-tenths, there’s still hope.” Lin Xiuzhu similarly pinned their hopes on Blood Spirit Saintess.

She was supposed to have the richest qi and blood among the four, but unfortunately, as a woman, her cultivation technique involved refining essence blood, and although she possessed many qi and blood secret techniques, her actual essence blood concentration was not as high as Lin Xiuzhu, a prospective Second Tier Body Cultivator.

However, it should be roughly close.

The Blood Spirit Saintess nodded, her face grave as she activated her essence blood.

Buzz~

As her essence blood activated onto the fragment pendant, blood-colored radiance surged once more.

Instantly, the blood light on the Dragon-locking Pendant increased by another twenty-five percent.

This was in line with initial expectations that if all four could achieve this level, they could open the Dragon Burial Cave.

Unfortunately, due to the inadequacy of the Yin Ghost Saint Child, things were somewhat challenging now.

Currently, the three of them altogether activated seventy percent of the Dragon-locking Pendant’s capacity, and to fully activate it, the fourth person must possess qi and blood power sufficient to activate thirty percent.

Even the former mid-stage Core Formation Huang Jun was already out of the question.

Moreover, they temporarily recruited Li Ji’an, who was at early-stage Core Formation.

Judging by the qi and blood power Li Ji’an exhibited, they estimated before coming that if he could reach twenty percent, they’d consider themselves lucky, or if he could reach twenty-five percent, all three decided to give him a swift end.

But thirty percent, they truly dared not hope.

The three were instantly somewhat dismayed, but still all looked toward Li Ji’an.

However, at this moment, their expressions were less of expectation and filled with murderous intent.

Just as they plotted at the place where Huang Jun perished, if the temporary recruit still couldn’t open the Dragon Burial Cave, they’d kill him in frustration, then divide and devour.

Facing the gaze of the three, Li Ji’an also furrowed his brows slightly.

Dignified mid-stage Core Formation True Man, really seemed a bit too useless.

If he couldn’t open the Dragon Burial Cave now, he’d have to face three mid-stage Core Formation True Men with premeditated intent to kill.

For him, this posed a bit of a risk.

Rather than at risk, why not open the Dragon Burial Cave for them and deal with it later?

However, to keep them from suspecting he was playing the fool, he needed to use a bit of strategy.

Quickly thinking it through, Li Ji’an’s heart was moved, and he immediately took out a Pill Medicine at random from his Storage Pouch: ”This is the Blood Burst Pill, it might forcibly enhance some qi and blood power, but... I’m afraid that once unleashed, I’ll be very weak, and it’ll be troublesome, requiring the help of you three fellow daoists.”
