Breaking Through Qi and Blood Barriers! Breaking Through 7 Levels!

Chapter 90 Breaking Through Qi and Blood Barriers! Breaking Through the Seventh Level!

Everyone followed along the way.

The surrounding mountain walls were covered with vines and thorns, and overgrown with weeds. This place was clearly a place that no one from Black Mountain Village would ever come to before.

After arriving here, the group quickly surveyed the surrounding environment.

The mountains here are steep and the rocks are jagged. The cave that Mo Guanhai pointed to looked as if it had been torn open from the inside by some kind of monster, and it was pitch black.

There were many scratch marks on the surrounding trees, which looked like the work of the Lantern Ghost.

The area was filled with a foul smell of rotting wood, exactly the same as the stench of the lantern ghost.

Shen Yi didn't find a single living creature here, not even an insect; it was unusually quiet.

It's probably because of the stench that the creatures around here dare not approach during the day.

"Fifth Master, this place is almost close to the inner perimeter, right? How did you manage to find this place at night?" Shen Kun asked.

Mo Guanhai was silent for a while, "Back then, the village was newly established, and we hadn't figured out many things about the surrounding area, so we would send people out to explore the surrounding area."

"That day, our team encountered a giant stone ape on the outskirts. Two martial artists at the late stage of the Qi and Blood Realm died at its hands on the spot. We had no choice but to engage in a fierce battle with the giant stone ape."

"However, because of this fierce battle, we suffered heavy casualties. It was getting dark when the giant stone ape finally gave up and retreated, but we were no longer able to get back to the village before nightfall."

""

"Then night fell, and countless monsters sprang from the darkness. Fortunately, we carried some monster blood, so we were not attacked by them."

"It was on our way back that night that we discovered a lantern ghost's lair here, with at least four or five lantern ghosts inside!"

"The Lantern Demon's strength should not be underestimated. At least given our injuries at the time, we were absolutely no match for it, so we only glanced at it before hurriedly leaving."

Four or five!

Shen Yi's heart skipped a beat, and a surge of joy welled up within him.

If he could kill all these lantern ghosts and take them into his possession, he would finally be able to refine the three yellow weasel essences in his hand.

He got up and looked around, searching for a suitable place to build a wall to defend against the monsters.

"Ah Yi, are you really going to build a wall here and destroy this lantern ghost's lair?"

Seeing his serious actions, Mo Guanhai still couldn't help but speak up.

"That's right! There aren't many spirits left around here. I need to take down all the spirits in this lantern ghost's lair."

Shen Yi's gaze fell on a mountain wall, and he began to ponder as he spoke.

He could easily build a semi-circular wall by leaning against the mountainside.

Moreover, there are only a few people inside, so the space doesn't need to be too big, and there's no need to put a wooden house there.

All you need is a wall!

In this way, without any extra expenses, he can use all the Yin Soul Wood to upgrade this wall!

Mo Guanhai's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

He had never met such a crazy person in his life.

Someone actually thought of staying outside all night just to hunt lantern ghosts.

However, after killing the Lantern Ghost, Shen Yi was indeed able to make further progress in his wooden puppet cultivation with the Yin Soul Wood he obtained.

Mo Guanhai took a deep breath. "Alright, this old man will risk his life to hunt lantern ghosts with you outside!"

He had barely finished speaking.

Then Shen Yi, who was measuring the land, turned around with a strange look in his eyes. "Fifth Master, why do you look like you're ready to die? I didn't plan to include you this time."

Mo Guanhai was taken aback. "No, what do you mean? You look down on this old man?"

"No, I want to build a wall here. Adding one more person will require more space and consume a lot of resources, so the fewer people, the better."

Shen Yi waved his hand.

He stepped forward and found a spot ten meters away on the mountainside near the cave to use as a back wall, measuring out a space around it to accommodate a number of people.

However, he soon fell into thought again and had another idea.

"What if we only station the wooden puppet soldiers here?"

"No one needs to stay here overnight. Any monster that enters the range of the wooden puppet soldiers will be killed by them."

"However, I can't station too many wooden golems here, since I also need them to protect me. Otherwise, if the territory encounters a sudden danger, it will be troublesome, and I'll have to upgrade another batch of wooden golems, which consumes too much Yin Soul Wood."

"Big brother, the four of us are enough. There's no need to call anyone else."

Shen Kun chuckled and followed beside him.

"Let's go back and get some straw mats to cover ourselves with. We can't just lie on the ground to sleep, can we?"

Shen Yi said, "We won't stay here today."

"Why?" Shen Kun asked, puzzled.

The eldest brother had the ability to build walls directly, and he had planned to wipe out this lantern ghost's lair tonight.

"I've changed my mind for now."

Shen Yi smiled, "I plan to leave the two wooden puppet soldiers here to deal with the monsters. We'll come back tomorrow to tally up tonight's spoils!"

This way, they wouldn't have to spend the night outside.

Mo Guanhai, on the other hand, was stunned and said, "Ayi, this place is about ten miles away from the village. How can you still control these wooden puppets over such a long distance?"

Or is it that Shen Yi's magical power has reached an extremely terrifying level, making him fully capable of such control?

"Of course not, but I can give them an order to stay here and kill any monsters that approach."

As Shen Yi spoke, he summoned two wooden puppet soldiers to follow him.

He headed straight towards the cave at the bottom of the mountain.

The wooden golems should be strong enough to withstand the Lantern Demons' corruption, so they should be placed closer to the Lantern Demons' lair.

Otherwise, what if there are many lantern ghosts that cannot be detected when they are far away?

Shen Yi wanted to maximize his gains.

However, he was also worried that the lantern ghosts would destroy the wooden puppets the moment night fell.

Therefore, I still plan to place it five meters away from the burrow.

"That's fine."

Shen Yi had the wooden puppet soldiers lean against the mountain wall.

All we have to do is wait for the night to pass, and we can come over tomorrow to take stock of the harvest.

They're the only village around here, and nobody comes here.

Judging from the looks of it, there won't be any monsters lurking in this area.

So it should be fine to leave these two wooden puppet soldiers here.

However, Shen Yi was still a little worried, so he gathered all the withered leaves around him and buried the two wooden puppet soldiers.

That should solve the problem.

"Let's go."

Having done all this, Shen Yi turned around, called out to the people behind him, and walked out.

The group nodded repeatedly and headed back towards the village.

Return to territory.

Mo Guanhai used to arrange the construction of the territory.

Shen Yixian and his younger sister arrived at the backyard.

In recent days, another batch of mutated red eggplants has been planted in the vegetable garden.

Provided there are enough nutrients, the mutated red eggplant can produce fruit continuously.

Currently, all 132 mutated red eggplant plants in this vegetable garden have matured once.

Shen Yi successively harvested a total of 528 mutated red eggplant fruits!

They eat mutated red tomatoes almost every day.

They also added some monster meat as a side dish.

This is more than enough for the four of them to practice the Wild Bull Technique to their heart's content, without any worry about depletion of their qi and blood!

With such abundant resources, the four people's cultivation progressed rapidly.

Meanwhile, the other two vegetable plots have also been upgraded to level 7, leaving only one level 6 vegetable plot in the backyard.

However, Shen Yi did not cultivate the mutated red eggplant on a large scale, but only in small quantities.

The rest of the land was used to grow mutated gray rice.

After all, mutated gray rice can be used as a staple food.

As time goes by, their resources will increase.

There's only enough for them right now, but later we can set aside some to supply the rest of our men.

During this time, Shen Yi observed the villagers' behavior closely; at least they were working hard to contribute to the territory every day.

Shen Yi plans to train all of these people and gradually arm them, turning them into guards for the territory.

Guan Yue and Shen Yuan quickly prepared a meal, and after satisfying their hunger, the group immediately immersed themselves in their training.

Early the next morning.

Seizing the opportunity when the monsters retreated, Shen Yi led Shen Yuan and the other two to quickly head towards the location of the lantern ghost's lair from yesterday.

soon.

When they arrived at their destination.

What Shen Yi saw was not the scene he wanted to see.

Where the lantern ghost's lair should have been, there were only hundreds of skeletons lying there.

This was completely different from what he had imagined!

"How could this be? Where are the lantern ghosts? Why are there only so few?"

Shen Kun walked out quickly, puzzled, and searched the surroundings rapidly.

Shen Yi walked over to the wooden puppet soldiers and calmly examined the marks on their bodies.

At this moment, the group collected the corpses of the monsters that the wooden puppet soldiers had killed nearby.

After counting the spoils, there were only a little over one hundred and thirty lantern ghosts.

This quantity is far too small!

Even if you spend one night in the village, you shouldn't only have this much to show for it.

"Brother, we've searched the area carefully, and there are only 136 lantern ghosts."

Shen Kun disassembled all the Yin Soul Wood and handed it to his elder brother, saying...

Something's not right.

Shen Yi spoke slowly.

"Right! I also felt something was off, brother. Even if the lantern ghost's lair has moved, the wooden golems couldn't possibly have killed so few lantern ghosts in one night, could they?"

Shen Kun clapped his hands as he spoke, his face full of suspicion.

"Could it be that the lantern demon's lair has been destroyed by other beings?"

Clearly, Shen Yi was most concerned about the Lantern Ghost.

The wooden puppet soldiers not only failed to kill the lantern ghosts, but they also failed to kill many lantern ghosts.

Shen Yi's eyes gradually darkened. "There's definitely something wrong here."

"We can't just leave the wooden puppets here. Let's find out what's going on tonight!"

His plan, which he set up yesterday, has clearly failed.

They knew nothing about what had happened last night, and the wooden golems couldn't share his field of vision.

Therefore, if you want to know the situation in this area, you really need someone to stay here and keep an eye on it.

Shen Yi did not hesitate at all.

He got up and walked out to the location that had been determined yesterday. Then he raised his hand and pressed it tightly against the mountain wall, creating a wall of dark wood!

To the other three, black lines suddenly shot up from all around, quickly forming the outline of a wall.

Soon, the arched wooden wall was built against the mountainside, enclosing a clearing of about fifteen square meters.

The yinmu wall is about three meters in radius, three meters high, and a little over ten meters long.

The only cost to create this level 1 Yin Wood wall was 30 Yin Soul Wood.

I didn't think much of it.

He then upgraded the Yinmu wall to level 2.

The cost of Yin Soul Wood is 150.

A level 2 Yin Wood Wall can withstand attacks from even a level 1 high-level monster for a very long time.

Shen Yi stopped, not wasting any more Yin Soul Wood to upgrade it.

"Come in, all of you."

Everyone went inside and got used to the space; it provided them with ample room to move around.

Shen Yi installed several steps on the interior walls so that they could quickly climb to the top of the wall to observe the surroundings.

"It's still early, let's go back first and get here before dark."

Shen Yi gave the instructions.

The thought that the four of them would be here tonight, experiencing firsthand what it's like to spend the night in the Black Mountain.

Shen Kun and the other two felt a strange mix of tension and excitement.

They nodded in agreement and quickly followed them back to the camp.

It was afternoon.

"This time, I should be able to try breaking through to the seventh level of the Qi and Blood Realm!"

Shen Yi felt the blood and qi surging and boiling within his body, and muttered to himself.

Within the physical body, Qi and blood are constantly condensing and transforming towards a higher level!

A sudden wisp of heat rose from his body, warming the surrounding air.

As the Qi and blood continue to condense to their limit and are constantly being eroded by the meridians, there is a growing tendency for them to be unable to withstand the pressure, resulting in an unbearable feeling of swelling and pain!

From the middle stage of Qi and Blood to the late stage of Qi and Blood, this is a qualitative transformation.

The Qi and blood will undergo a re-condensation, and the further one goes, the more difficult it becomes to condense the Qi and blood.

Shen Yi had learned from Mo Guanhai beforehand about the difficulties of breaking through the later stages of Qi and Blood, and could only grit his teeth and endure it.

As the blood and qi surged rapidly through the meridians, I even felt a tearing pain.

But soon, as the meridians are constantly tempered by qi and blood, they gradually become more resilient.

As the Qi and blood flowed into every part of his body, tempering every inch of his flesh, Shen Yi felt as if his body was on fire!

The muscles and bones began to vibrate under the intense pressure of the flesh and blood!

Then the Qi and blood finally penetrated through the flesh and blood, seeping into the tendons and bones to begin the tempering process.

This clicking and clicking process lasted for a long time.

When the shackles in his body were finally broken, Shen Yi felt a sense of clarity spreading throughout his body.

Seventh level of Qi and Blood Realm, achieved!
