Chapter 8 Cultivate the Body by Blood

The Wolf Mountain at night was like a giant silver-black wolf looking up at the night sky, howling at the sky.

In the mountain path, a shadow was approaching and slowly walked into a small village.

There were less than ten families in the village, distributed at the foot of the mountain. It was dinner time then. However, no one was cooking or having dinner. The whole village was strangely quiet.

Ye Yun stopped at the grass fields under the ancient tree at the entrance to the village and looked around with an expression of perplexity. He walked a dozen steps more towards the village. Then he suddenly squatted down. There was a pool of blood on the ground with a lot of black and bright fluff.

"Go find some help in the town!! Now!!"

An anxious voice was heard from the pitch-black village.

Then there was another painful scream, and a figure rushed out of the darkness. The man did not run far, but a few wolves caught up with him. It was very frightening to see the wolves with bared fangs.

The wolves were only one step away from the man. And the young man seemed to be in despair. He tightly held the slasher and prepared for the fight.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Howl! Howl! Howl!

A black shadow rushed out of the darkness. In a blink of an eye, he swept four wolves away by hitting them with his hand one time and kicking two times. After landing on the ground, the wolves died with a few screeches.

The rescued man was shocked and he looked at the person. His body still couldn't help shaking. Before the man could ask, the person had disappeared into the dark night, leaving the young man stagnating in the place.

Howl! Howl! Howl!

After a while, there were loud cries of wolves in other places of the village. After another while, villagers lighted up their oil lamps and began to clean up dozens of dead wolves.

"By the way, just now the benefactor said his name was Ye Yun? He is from Ye Clan? I didn't expect that there has such an easy-going and powerful young man in Ye Clan."

"Yeah! Our benefactor is so kind that we don't have to worry about those wolves attacking the village anymore. With the help of our benefactor, even those wolf pups on Wolf Mountain will disappear!"

Villagers gathered together and discussed happily. And they began to cut off the skins of those wolves. Wolf skin was a good thing, and wolf meat was also a good material for roasting and a good dish that went with liquor.

In the back hill of the village, there is a dilapidated stone building on the hillside. Now, there was a faint light of fire, accompanied by a bloody red light.

Near the fire, Ye Yun, wearing only in pants, was stabbing the soles of his feet and arms with an animal spur, piercing out invisible blood holes. His whole body looked like a bloody spider.

An old voice came out from his body slightly: "To practice the Invincible Flesh and Blood, you must control flesh and blood. Blood is the source of life, distributed in the bone marrow, meridians, cells and muscles. Yun, you have already trained a strong body and can feel the Qi of your blood. The only question is how long it will take you to control the Qi of your blood. You may take five years at most. You don't need to practice like this. It's too painful to scatter the blood directly. "

Every time he pricked it, Ye Yun would tremble. He clenched his teeth and said: "I can't wait for five years, Uncle Han. When the blood flows out of my skin, I could feel the blood is flowing all over my body."

Uncle Han said, "Very well, try to use the remaining inner power of your body to control the flow of your blood. Fasten the speed. When you can control the flow of your blood in your body at will, you can formally practice the Invincible Flesh and Blood."

Ye Yun thought for a while and said, "Uncle Han, is it that the faster the blood is released, the easier the control will be?"

"Yeah. What do you want to do this time..." Uncle Han's voice gradually weakened.

Holding his breath, Ye Yun began to stab his body with the spur from feet to shoulders, and the strength was constantly increasing. The bloody hole also turned into the size of the sesame. Originally, the body was covered with mung-sized blood beads, which soon turned into the size of soybeans.

When more than eighty percent of the body was stabbed with bloody holes, Ye Yun started to be short of breath. Every time he breathed, the meridians expanded. And countless blood beads were absorbed into the body, but then oozed out of the skin, back and forth like balloons.

Ye Yun's whole body was pale, especially his face. Every time the blood beads shrank and expanded, Ye Yun suffered a lot. He gritted his teeth with his eyes closed. His fists were clenched, and his nails pierced his hands.

The pain of letting blood retrieve and shrink again and again through innumerable wounded holes was like cutting a person into pieces.

One day, two days... Dozens of days passed unconsciously.

Early in the morning, the Wolf Mountain was covered by heavy fog.

A girl and a boy came to the stone building, carrying a basket of fruit and solid food. They sneaked around, put things in the corner, and then quietly hid in the distant grass, gazing at the stone building.

The boy was about sixteen years old, and he was thin. He whispered to the girl beside him, "Third sister, it seems that the benefactor is not at home during the day. How can I acknowledge him as my master?"

"This is your business. But... If you help me work for one month, I will brazenly talk to the benefactor. How about that? You know that the benefactor is powerful. The howl of wolves can't be heard anymore in the evening. It must be him. He must have killed all wolves. It will be easy for you to join the Black Flag Army if you could acknowledge him as your master!" The girl was quick-witted.

Without further considering, the boy agreed: "Okay. If I really become the disciple of the benefactor, not to mention a month, it will be no problem for a year. It's all on you, sister!"

"Deal! No regret! Let's go home and come back tomorrow." The girl looked around, pulled the boy out of the jungle quietly, and then disappeared into the deep forest.

Whirr!

As soon as they left, a blue-coated man came from the sky. It was Ye Yun.

Just now, he had found them. But it was not suitable for him to show up because he just came back from practicing the method. He stood still and thought for a while. Then he followed them. He soon came to the front of the cliff, below which was the small village.

Villagers were herding sheep in the wasteland. Children were running and playing in the grassland light-heartedly.

"Paradise... But how could their life be peaceful if they are harassed by wolves and bandits? If a person wants to be a carefree mortal, depending his life and death solely on his fate. Even if he could live to seventy years old, during such a short life, he could only submit to and live on the heaven and earth, being nobody." Standing on the cliff and looking at the quiet village, Ye Yun seemed to see through the fate.

"Heaven and earth are merciless. Things like evil, killing, the wrath of heaven, retribution, karma are only the self-comfort created by mortals. You can see through this, which proves that you were born with extraordinary wisdom." Uncle Han said.

"If I believe in fate, then I am just a cloud of tiny dust in the world..."

After a moment of silence, Ye Yun walked towards the stone building.

In the basket were rabbit meat braised in soy sauce and a jar of liquor. In the pack basket were fruit and solid food. Ye Yun took out the liquor and drank a few mouthfuls: "How mellow the rice liquor is, uncle Han."

"Lucky you!" Uncle Han sighed.

Ye Yun took another sip, tore off the rabbit leg and gnawed it. He wiped his mouth and said, "Uncle Han, I can finally control the blood flow these days. Can I formally start practicing the Invincible Flesh and Blood next?"

"First, you need to eat enough food. Then it will be the real infernal cultivation. The first level of the Invincible Flesh and Blood, scattering blood. It is very simple. Control the blood to expand the body, including meridians, bones, muscles, cells and even everywhere in the body, even the heart. Although it is simple, it is also a painful process."

Ye Yun slowly said: "Can't wait."

As for the horror of the Invincible Flesh and Blood, Ye Yun had realized it before he formally practiced it. He still had dense wounds that had not been healed.

Being full up, Ye even took off his clothes, showing his strong body which was full of red dots.

The voice of uncle Han immediately came out: "The bone is the stiffest but also the most painful. Muscles, cells and meridians are relatively soft. According to the method, you should stimulate them by the blood of the body and expand them. The greater you expand, the greater the capacity and the power would be."

"Yeah."

Ye Yun nodded and hunkered in the middle of the open stone building. He adjusted his absorption according to the method. Every time he absorbed, he felt his body sometimes drifting lightly while sometimes heavily.

At that moment, inside Ye Yun's body, the blood was boiling like water. It was like countless bloody needles being pierced into muscles and meridians. Suddenly, Ye Yun was overwhelmed by pain. It was like hundreds of millions of ants biting his flesh and blood. The pain made him almost faint from time to time. He must grind his teeth and persist.

This process was slow. The speed of blood scattering into the flesh was as slow as a turtle. And Ye Yun's face was extremely pale. His eyes turned up from time to time as if he would faint at any time.

Just before Ye Yun could not hold on, uncle Han said, "Yun, hold on. Sometimes the greatest pain is not physical. When you endure it, you will find that it is not as painful as you imagined. When you experience the painful process of cultivation, you will know what cultivator is."

Creak!

Hearing this remark, Ye Yun enlarged his pupils and clenched his teeth. Because he was too vigorous, his chin made running-in sounds from time to time.

A quarter... For hours, until the sunset.

At that moment, Ye Yun's body was covered with blood streaks. And the back of his feet, legs, thighs, waist, chest, wrists, arms, neck and face were covered with blue veins, almost as thick as chopsticks. His body seemed to be stuck by a huge red net. Even his eyes were full of blood streaks, and a sense of bloodiness was spilling from his pupils.

Ye Yun's mouth had been bitten through, and blood flowed down from his fingers. He was too painful to open his mouth so that the blood could inflate his body indefinitely.

The evening glow fell on the stone building, which made it look like a golden tower. The forest echoed the sounds of various animals. With the arrival of night, the mist gradually grew.

Sparks came out of the stone building. Ye Yun was exhausted. He munched on the fruits and then ate a lot of solid food. Most of his body had returned to normal, but there were still some blood streaks on his skin.

"Very good. But the next step will be more painful. Bones are the backbone of the body. You must take care. Do not break the bone. Although it can heal, it takes a lot of time."

"Uncle Han, I know that only by breaking through the second level of dissolving the blood, the fissures of my dantian can be repaired with the Qi of my blood. Based on my current speed, how long will I take to break through the second level?"

"Slowly as one month, fast as ten days. Be patient. It takes time to repair your dantian with the Qi of the blood. Without good control of the Qi of your blood, it is easy to cause another damage to your dantian."

Eh...

Ye Yun let out a sigh of relief. A month later, he could practice again, so that he could embark on the path of cultivation again.
