BLOOD BURNING ART

"Blood Burning Art"!

This was the first tier Qi Refining Stage Cultivation Technique issued by the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, and even though Wang Yu had prepared himself to pay any price, he was still shocked by it.

It was an absolutely pure shortcut Demonic Technique.

It burned the Cultivator's essence and blood, transforming them into the most primordial Blood Burning Spiritual Power. Essence represented the human body's vitality and Origin, while blood was closely related to physical strength and health.

Loss of blood would lead to premature graying of hairs, an aged appearance, and frequent illness.

Loss of essence would lead to organ failure, sagging skin, dark spots, and a shortened Lifespan.

In other words, it was trading Lifespan for Cultivation.

Three years of Lifespan, regardless of Aptitude, would allow a Cultivator to Breakthrough to the first level of Qi Refining Stage in just one month. From then on, he would be a qualified Ling Nu.

It seemed like paying three years of Lifespan to achieve the goal was a one-time transaction, something one could grit their teeth and get through. The problem was that condensing spiritual sand caused a loss of Cultivation.

A drop in Cultivation meant having to Cultivate back up, implying continuous and long-term burning of Lifespan.

The requirement of one to two spiritual sand per month was the real issue.

Could he condense it…

After reading through the entire "Blood Burning Art," Wang Yu thought for a moment and then selected it, placing it into his only accompanying cheat, the 【placement slot】.

【placement slot 1: Blood Burning Art】

"Blood Burning Art (0/100): Forty-eight Cultivations per day, achievable in one year."

Wang Yu: "???"

This was the first time the placement slot had shown such a change; it had never happened before. It was highly likely related to the fact that it was a Cultivation Technique.

But this was a Demonic Technique that burned Lifespan. Forty-eight Cultivations per day?

An average of one round every half an hour, wouldn't that turn him into a dried corpse?!

Just as Wang Yu was about to take it out, his resolve wavered again. This was his only chance to turn things around.

"I'll try one round, wait half an hour to see what changes, then decide. It's not too late."

Soon, half an hour passed.

Wang Yu did not feel any abnormalities in his body. Instead, many experiences and feelings from Cultivating "Blood Burning Art" appeared in his mind, and a warm current suddenly emerged within his body, disappearing after about three breaths.

He neither lost Lifespan nor enjoyed the effects of the quick success Demonic Technique.

This situation left him even more confused.

Based on the patterns and uses he had figured out over the past sixteen years, Wang Yu flipped through the booklet that recorded common knowledge of the Cultivation world, and a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

Burning Lifespan for quick success was a special effect of the Blood Burning Art. It didn't mean that every Cultivator was forced to activate this effect; it could also absorb Spiritual Qi through normal refining.

The warm current that appeared out of nowhere in his body just now was likely a manifestation of the placement slot running the Blood Burning Art once.

The placement slot was never tired and never stopped, so forty-eight Cultivations a day seemed normal.

Aptitude of a Cultivator greatly influenced Early Stage Cultivation. A Spiritual Root not only represented Spiritual Qi affinity but also closely related to Spiritual Qi conversion rate.

Normally, a Heavenly Spiritual Root Aptitude naturally attracted Spiritual Qi of the same attribute. When Cultivating a Cultivation Technique, Spiritual Qi of the same attribute would spontaneously flow into the body, being gently refined and becoming the Cultivator's Spiritual Power.

They refined as much as they absorbed, which was why their Cultivation progressed so rapidly.

Wang Yu's waste Spiritual Root Aptitude had all Five Elements but poor affinity. He had to painstakingly capture it himself, and he would feel the Spiritual Qi was violent and difficult to refine.

The conversion rate was even terrifyingly low; if he absorbed ten wisps and refined one, it was considered a success. More often, he couldn't even refine a single wisp of Spiritual Qi. This was why waste Spiritual Roots found it difficult to Breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage.

The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect was established on multiple fourth-tier Spiritual Veins. Even though most of the Spiritual Qi was concentrated on the Nine Peaks, the Shiwu Area still had Spiritual Qi equivalent to a first-tier High Grade Spiritual Vein.

The Cultivation environment could be considered quite good.

Spiritual Root Aptitude and Spiritual Vein environment accounted for two of the three main factors determining a Cultivator's early Cultivation speed. The other factor was related to the Cultivator's Meridians and spirit.

Completing a Grand Cycle of the Cultivation Technique within the body was extremely draining on energy.

It required complete concentration, and this effect would only lessen after breaking through to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining Stage, when Divine Sense emerged from the body and the Cultivation Technique's operation became instinctive.

Mortal Meridians were weak. Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root could not withstand twelve hours of continuous Cultivation per day. Initially, being able to complete four Grand Cycles daily was considered good.

In this regard, everyone started at the same point, except for Nascent Soul seeds who were born with a spiritual body.

As Cultivation increased, Meridians would become stronger and stronger, able to withstand more and more Spiritual Qi. This process was how those with excellent Aptitude widened the gap.

A Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivates faster and faster, while a waste Spiritual Root Cultivates slower and slower, and within a year, the difference will be enormous!

Only upon breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage would these various restrictions and difficulties in Cultivation completely disappear.

The placement slot's forty-eight Cultivations per day would bring Wang Yu a very significant advantage during the Qi Refining Stage. However, his Aptitude was too poor.

The placement slot could not change his Aptitude; whatever his conditions were, running the Cultivation Technique forty-eight times a day would yield the same result, which was why the warm current he felt earlier only lasted for three breaths.

Even so, Wang Yu was incredibly surprised.

Having it was better than not having it. As long as he could embark on the path of Cultivation and resolve his current predicament, changing his Aptitude in the future was not without hope. With a higher base, the amplification multiplier of the placement slot would increase linearly.

In fact, even without rare treasures or elixirs that enhance Aptitude, a Cultivator's Aptitude would improve when breaking through a major Realm.

However, four-Spiritual Root and five-Spiritual Root Cultivators often died of old age before reaching this stage. Only Medium Grade Spiritual Roots, such as those with a three-Spiritual Root, had hope of enjoying this benefit.

"Furthermore, the placement slot and my main body do not affect each other. It's like an accessory, and my main body can also Cultivate."

Next, Wang Yu continued to comprehend the Cultivation Technique. Every half an hour, a segment of insight and Cultivation experience regarding the "Blood Burning Art" would appear in his mind.

This greatly helped him in his current situation. The Spiritual Qi that appeared in his body from time to time, even if not refined, brought many benefits.

A body nourished by Spiritual Qi was, after all, different.

While experiencing the various effects of the placement slot, Wang Yu also made an astonishing discovery: the placement slot not only did not affect his main body but also had no interaction with the outside world, including Spiritual Qi.

In other words, the Spiritual Qi brought to Wang Yu by the placement slot's operation of the Cultivation Technique appeared out of thin air. Heaven knows where it absorbed it from.

This meant that even in places without Spiritual Veins, he could enjoy a twelve-hour, never-ending supply of Spiritual Qi. Aside from the relatively small quantity, there were no drawbacks.

Although the conveniences brought by the placement slot were all minor auxiliary functions, when combined, they could provide him with enormous help!

Thus, a day passed.

Wang Yu was passively Cultivating even when he slept at night, receiving feedback and benefits from the placement slot. Intermittently, his understanding of the "Blood Burning Art" completely transcended a level.

No need for painstaking research and comprehension; a Breakthrough might just happen today.
