Cultivating in Different Professions

Chapter 225: Chapter 152: Blood Exchange Perfection

Wuling City, Taiping Bureau.

Su Mu finished washing up and changed into a clean Captain’s Uniform that had been laundered by the servants. He felt refreshed and revitalized.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Taiping Captain (Seventh Rank)]

[Points: 0]

[Realm: Blood Transformation Realm (Body Tempering Extreme Realm)]

[Divine Techniques: Indestructible Golden Body]

[Cultivation Technique: Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Technique (Perfection)...]

[Martial Arts: Kan Water Realm (Great Success), Xun Wind Realm (Great Success), Gen Mountain Realm (Lesser Success/+), Archery (Perfection)]

Summoning his system panel and seeing its contents, Su Mu’s heart swelled with a sense of accomplishment.

He had risked his life for this gamble, and the rewards were quite satisfying.

His long, hard work had not been in vain; he had finally reached Perfection in the Blood Transformation Realm.

Su Mu clenched his fists. He could feel the Profound Yellow Blood flowing ceaselessly through his body, constantly cleansing it from within.

Even though his body had already reached the Body Tempering Limit, he could still feel impurities being continuously purged.

After reaching Perfection in the Blood Transformation Realm, the next step was to use this newly born true blood to scour the body, achieving a complete metamorphosis.

Body Quenching, in truth, could only temper the surface of the body, failing to reach the internal organs.

After the blood exchange, the true blood would wash through the internal organs, allowing one’s physique to undergo a true metamorphosis. Upon reaching that state, every movement would contain immense power. Beyond that, the body could begin to hold Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, refining it into True Essence.

The Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Technique that Su Mu cultivated was already a top-tier Nine Times Blood Exchange Technique. By reaching the Body Tempering Limit, he had pushed the Blood Exchange Technique beyond its intended threshold, achieving a ten times blood exchange—and with Profound Yellow Blood, no less.

The higher the number of blood exchanges, the better the metamorphosis. Upon reaching the True Essence Realm, the body’s affinity for and capacity to hold Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would also increase.

The deeper the foundation, the broader the path ahead.

’A ten times blood exchange is already fantastic, but if I can get my hands on a Blood Strengthening Pill, I could achieve an unprecedented eleven times exchange. Breaking through to the Rebirth Realm then would yield even better results.’

Su Mu thought to himself.

’Next, I should probably spend some more effort on my martial arts.’

For a while now, he had spent nearly all his Points on blood exchange. It was only because of his success in defending the Outer City that his status as Outer City Commander had brought him a huge influx of Points, leaving him with a surplus even after reaching Perfection in the blood exchange.

So, he had also taken the opportunity to raise both his Kan Water Realm and Xun Wind Realm to Great Success.

Across all of Wuling City, probably only Governor Zhao Poni had cultivated a martial intent to the Great Success Realm; even City Lord Luo Yuxuan was still a step behind.

For Su Mu to now raise two different martial intents to the Great Success Realm at once—if word of this got out, it would surely shock the entirety of Wuling City.

’Perfection in blood exchange, martial intents at Great Success... If I run into a Tier Two Demon again, I shouldn’t be completely helpless. I might not be able to win, but escape shouldn’t be a problem.’

Su Mu mused internally.

During the last Demon Tide, he had nearly died at the hands of a Tier Two Demon. If Luo Anning hadn’t brought the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow, he would have been killed by that Tier Two Demon long before a Tier Three Demon even needed to act.

The Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow was powerful, but it was ultimately an external object. Only one’s own strength could provide a true sense of security.

’I wonder if the merits from defending against the Tier Five Demon Tide will be enough to trade for a Rebirth Technique after I redeem the Blood Strengthening Pill.’

Su Mu wondered to himself as he stroked the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow.

After the battle ended, no one had asked for the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow back, and he certainly wasn’t going to return it voluntarily.

If possible, he even wanted to claim the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow as his own.

A Profound Weapon powerful enough to let someone in the Blood Transformation Realm kill a Tier Three Demon was, of course, best kept in his own hands.

BANG!

Just as Su Mu was lost in thought, a loud crash suddenly rang out.

He looked up, stunned, at his courtyard gate, which had just been kicked open from the outside.

Every Taiping Captain had their own private courtyard.

Su Mu considered his social standing to be decent enough; he couldn’t imagine anyone having a reason to kick down his door.

"And you are?"

Su Mu asked, his brows furrowing slightly as he watched the two men walk straight into his courtyard.

The two newcomers were unfamiliar. They weren’t wearing the Official Uniform of the Taiping Bureau, but rather silk robes that looked quite expensive.

"You’re Su Mu?"

The man didn’t answer Su Mu’s question, instead speaking with a cold sneer.

"Your little game is up. Come along quietly and surrender!"

As he spoke, the man reached out to grab Su Mu’s arm.

Just as the man’s fingers were about to touch his arm, a sharp glint flashed in Su Mu’s eyes.

THUD! THUD!

With two dull impacts, the two men were sent flying backward out of the broken courtyard gate.

They flew for dozens of feet before crashing heavily to the ground.

The moment their backs hit the ground, they leaped back to their feet, staring ahead with expressions of shock and uncertainty.

Su Mu walked slowly out of the small courtyard, bow in one hand, long saber hanging at his waist.

"You two had better think clearly before you make another move. My saber can slay demons, but it can also kill men."

Su Mu spoke slowly.

The two men instinctively froze, the forward step they were about to take halting. The aggressive aura around them deflated in an instant.

They hadn’t even seen clearly how he had attacked before they were sent flying. The two of them were no match for him.

"Speak. Who are you two?"

Su Mu said coolly.

"Senior Brother Su!"

Before the two men could speak, another voice suddenly called out.

Su Mu turned toward the sound and saw Luo Anning approaching from the side, accompanied by two other strangers.
