Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Now, the situation inside the coffin had changed drastically. There was no more water on the ground, and instead, a thin layer of dirt covered it.

Because of the increase in space, the Ghost Lantern Fish could no longer provide sufficient illumination.

Jiang Li placed a large amount of glowing plants here that enjoyed the yin attribute spiritual qi.

From the moss, flowers, and vines, the entire coffin space was covered in a dreamlike fluorescent light.

To increase the coffin space’s “vitality”, Jiang Li even threw in quite a number of animal corpses, using the effects of the Yin Burial Coffin to turn them into zombies.

Together with the corpses of the cultivators who had been thrown in the coffin, they were currently wandering aimlessly in the coffin space.

If one did not look carefully, this space really looked like a paradise.

The yin qi inside was so dense that it could kill someone in less than a second, and the dead body would turn into a zombie and join the big family here.

In such an environment, the few Ghost Lantern Fish were still living freely inside.

Last time, in order to capture the Dragon Tortoise, Jiang Li poured out all the Yin Corpse blood in the Yin Burial Coffin.

Later on, he wanted to put in some lake water and continue raising them.

However, after entering, he discovered that all of the Ghost Lantern Fish were floating in the air.

It was still moving about in a leisurely manner as it swam in the dense spiritual qi and yin qi.

Jiang Li was shocked at that time, thinking that they had become spirits.

Later on, he discovered that they could only swim in the water after arriving in the outside world. It was just that they could swim in places with sufficiently dense yin qi and spiritual qi.

To be able to use spiritual qi and yin qi to move about, these Ghost Lantern Fish were indeed worthy of being an ancient species. They were indeed a little magical.

Moreover, those ghosts that had advanced once and could easily slaughter mortals were unable to resist these Ghost Lantern Fish.

They could easily devour an evil spirit.

Even if Jiang Li used the Ghost Wood Art to capture ghosts, he could only restrain more than thirty at the same time.

However, these Ghost Lantern Fish ate them like candy. It was extremely easy to control them.

“I wonder what this ghost-eating fish tastes like when stewed.”

The Ghost Lantern Fish, which had been living comfortably recently and looked a little plump, seemed to have noticed Jiang Li’s unfriendly gaze. They swayed their tails and swam farther away from him.

…

Two days later, in Elder He’s courtyard, the main seat of the Demon Vanquishing Hall.

Jiang Li knocked twice before pushing the door open and entering.

Inside, Elder He had been waiting for a long time. Beside him sat a beautiful and elegant woman.

Jiang Li had seen that woman before. She was an elder from the neighboring Rejuvenation Hall.

“Master, Elder Yao.”

After Jiang Li greeted them, he entered the quiet room with the two elders as usual.

Without even needing to ask, Jiang Li had already guessed that Elder Yao had definitely come because of the blood essence.

“Do you know what this is?”

Elder He took the porcelain bottle from Jiang Li’s hand, opened the bottle, sniffed it, and casually put it aside.

On the other hand, Elder Yao of the Rejuvenation Hall opened a cloth roll as soon as he entered. A row of long needles of varying length were revealed.

“I know this is blood essence, but I have no idea what it does.”

Elder He looked at Jiang Li with slight surprise. He never expected that Jiang Li would actually be able to recognize such a high-grade item.

“This blood essence has many uses. It can be used to refine pills, hatch spiritual eggs, and nourish the bloodline. The last option is especially valuable.”

The fact that it was expensive could be seen from the porcelain bottle containing the blood essence. The material was of a quality that Jiang Li had never seen before.

“Elevating the bloodline, could it be… I can use it for dragon blood?”

Jiang Li was stunned as he recalled this matter.

The existence of the Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo could allow Jiang Li to create a drop of dragon blood every hundred days.

At first, Jiang Li was excited for a period of time. However, later on, he realized that the duration of a hundred days was still too long for him.

Perhaps when he reached the Foundation Establishment realm, he would not even be able to produce a drop of this dragon blood. It would be better to go somewhere and obtain a few more buffs instead. After that, he gradually forgot about this matter.

However, he did not expect that although he was not anxious, Elder He had always taken his matters to heart and helped him obtain this bottle of blood essence during the rewards of the sect martial competition.

“Yes, you’ll use it for dragon blood.”

“The bloodline of dragon descendants has gotten too thin now. It’s too difficult for a Dragon Tortoise to possess dragon blood even if it’s only a drop.”

As he spoke, Elder He suddenly approached Jiang Li, and then the flood dragon tattoo on his thick left arm slowly lit up.

Immediately, Jiang Li felt as if he had been targeted by a peerless ferocious beast, and his body involuntarily trembled.

As for his blood, it became abnormally excited. The flow speed increased and the temperature rose. Soon, the feeling of being suppressed was eliminated, and it even brought a certain degree of attribute enhancement to Jiang Li.

“This is?”

Jiang Li was slightly surprised. When had such a force been hidden within his body?

Although it was not very strong, in terms of quality, it seemed to be very high-end.

At the very least, there was no other power in Jiang Li’s body that could be used to break through the pressure.

“This is the dragon blood.”

“There’s no need to doubt it. There is indeed a bit of dragon blood in your body now. I noticed it a few days ago.”

Elder He did not wait for Jiang Li to ask further and directly spoke.

At the same time, he pointed at the flood dragon tattoo on his left arm.

There was more than one beast mark on Elder He’s body. This flood dragon tattoo was only one of them.

“So Master, you also have dragon blood.”

Jiang Li was slightly surprised. He had originally thought that he was extremely special, but he understood how the other party had sensed this trace of dragon blood that even Jiang Li did not notice.

“What? Do you think you can surpass your master with a Dragon Tortoise?”

“When I, your master, was all-powerful, you were still nowhere to be found.”

Elder He specially lowered his voice. Several terrifying demonic beasts roared in his throat non-stop. In modern society, he would be considered a super vocalist.

“Yes, yes, yes. Master is mighty. I will definitely go to the Scripture Storage Pavilion to borrow Master’s life biographies and study hard.”

Elder He smiled confidently after Jiang Li praised him. Elder Yao, who was still preparing by the side, rolled her eyes speechlessly in her heart when she heard this.

“Although you already have a bit of dragon blood, don’t celebrate too soon. At that time, the bloodline of the Dragon Tortoise was thin. Although the dragon blood in your body was refined, the speed at which it was nurtured was too slow.”

“If you still can’t nurture a complete drop of dragon blood when the Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo disappears, then the dragon blood will also dissipate on its own. At that time, all of your efforts will be for naught.”

“That’s why I helped you get this from the sect’s treasure vault.”

When Jiang Li heard this, he recalled the initial notification of the status [Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo].

He could only produce a drop of dragon blood after a hundred days, but the original blood tattoo could only last for 90 days.

This meant that Elder He’s calculations were really accurate. If he did not have a cheat or Elder He’s help to remedy the situation, then he would really have missed the opportunity to obtain the dragon blood.

Jiang Li looked at the blood essence. Elder Yao was soaking the silver needles one after another.

It seemed like she was going to use acupuncture to guide the blood essence into his body.

“Alright, take off your clothes.”

A moment later, Elder Yao finished her preparations.

Jiang Li: “…”

“What are you doing? Gender does not matter for medical practitioners. Hurry up.”

Alright, there was no gender in front of the medical practitioner. Jiang Li looked at the other party’s calm and indifferent expression, and only then did he brace himself to remove his clothes and remove the Heart Protection Mirror on his chest.

Previously, in front of Senior Sister Little Four, Jiang Li had taken off his clothes for the medicinal bath.

When facing the beautiful young lady in front of him, he took the initiative, so he naturally did not feel anything. However, when facing the beautiful hundred-year-old woman, he was apprehensive.

There was a huge gap between them.

“Don’t resist or move at all.”

Jiang Li relaxed as instructed, and then he was lifted up into the air by a strand of spiritual qi.

There were a total of 720 acupuncture points in the body that medical practitioners used for their acupuncture. Regardless of whether they were standing or lying down, they would definitely have their own limitations. They would not be able to stab the acupuncture points very well. Only by floating would they be able to perform acupuncture more easily.

Of course, today’s session was only to maximize the effects of the blood essence. There was no need to stab all 720 acupuncture points at once.

However, his skin was tough and he had the Anti-Demon Golden Skin buff. Ordinary weapons could not harm him at all. Hopefully, this would not affect his acupuncture.

Of course, Jiang Li was thinking too much. After all, the other party was a Core Formation elder and was quite experienced in treating body cultivators. Unless he reached Elder He’s level, it was very difficult for her to be troubled.

Elder Yao went forward and touched Jiang Li’s skin. She was slightly surprised by the strength of Jiang Li’s body, but she did not say anything.

Pew!

In the next moment, Jiang Li’s eyes widened as he watched in shock. A thick silver needle that was more than a foot long pierced through his chest and into his heart.

Jiang Li was so frightened that his body shook.

If not for his trust in Elder He and the fact that he did not feel much discomfort in his heart, Jiang Li would have probably resisted violently.

“Calm your mind. Don’t move.”

Jiang Li looked at the long needle that had pierced deeply into his heart and forced himself to calm down.

But soon, he felt a warmth flowing through the needle and into his heart.

The heat flowed through his veins and into his entire body. Wherever it passed, the dragon blood in his body would boil excitedly.

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

Elder Yao’s hands drew out afterimages as if they were flying. She took out silver needles of different lengths from the porcelain bottle and chased them down along the direction where the blood essence flowed in his blood vessels.

Jiang Li felt the blood flow faster and faster. Even the Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo on his body emitted a faint red glow under the effect of the blood essence.

About three minutes later, Jiang Li’s body had already been pierced with more than 200 silver needles. The blood essence in the porcelain bottle had also been completely used up.

[Spirit Moxibustion Technique has infused blood essence into the body. Added Status: Blood Essence.]

[Blood Essence: Increases the bloodline nourishing speed by 1000%, increases the blood essence condensation speed by 1000%. Duration: 10 days] (− +)

Sure enough, another status appeared. Jiang Li did not care about anything else and first changed it to infinite duration.

After that, he looked at the effect and was shocked.

1000% meant ten times the increase.

Jiang Li had only seen such an exaggerated amplification effect from the Armored Horse Divine Travel buff. The help that it brought him was still endless even now.

No matter what the increase was, ten times the speed was shocking enough.

The speed of bloodline nourishing increased by ten times, so it was naturally effective on dragon blood.

In other words, if he did not change the buff duration, within the duration of the effects of the blood essence, ten days was equivalent to a hundred days. He could directly condense a drop of dragon blood from this.

It could be said that using a bottle of blood essence to exchange for a drop of dragon blood was truly an expensive trade-off.

However, to Jiang Li, every ten days from now, a drop of dragon blood would appear in his body. He could still look forward to this gain.

In addition, increasing the speed of condensing blood essence by ten times was also a very practical enhancement.

It was common knowledge that cultivators liked to spray blood essence on talismans and artifacts. Many a time, they had to use blood essence to draw array formations while refining artifacts too.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally a good thing that his blood essence could recover faster.

For a body cultivator like Jiang Li, he also had a great move that could complement the beast blood tattoo which was to burn his blood essence. It was said that its might was no small matter, and it could at least increase his strength by one or two levels.

However, Jiang Li had yet to use it.

That was because the principles behind that ultimate move was using the beast blood tattoo as the furnace. By pouring his own essence blood into it, it would greatly increase the power of the Beast Blood Diagram.

However, the problem was that Jiang Li’s cultivation time was still shallow. He had not cultivated more than a few drops of blood essence in his body, but there were more and more beast blood tattoos on his body. Currently, he already had four, and it was simply not even enough even if he burned his blood essence to its limit.

Now that the speed at which he condensed his blood essence had increased, perhaps he could increase the effects of these beast blood tattoos before he reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

A moment later, more than 200 long needles were pulled out of Jiang Li’s body. After an instant of pain, Jiang Li fell to the ground. The large number of needle holes on his body had already disappeared without a trace.

“Thank you, Master. Thank you, Elder Yao.”

Jiang Li cupped his hands in thanks. Elder He only instructed him to cultivate well before letting him leave.

In order to decide the distribution of rights for the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm, the Great Mountain Cultivator Competition would be officially held a month later.

What was worth mentioning was that on the side of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, the sword cultivator clone had relied on the advantage of endless spiritual qi and the initial awakening of his Sword Heart to specially learn many sword moves that consumed a lot of spiritual qi. In a short period of time, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had also obtained the qualifications to participate in this cultivation gathering.

Unfortunately, his main body was at the Qi Refinement realm while his clone was at the Foundation Establishment realm. The two of them were not at the same level. Otherwise, if they were to compete on the same stage, they would be able to put up a good show.

In addition, from the information channels of the sword cultivator clone, he learned that they seemed to have discovered another incredible treasure during the discussion process of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm. The competition would probably be quite intense this time.

However, during this following month, Jiang Li could cultivate in peace for a period of time.

When he passed by a small puddle by the side of the road, Jiang Li stopped for a moment before leaving.

In the puddle, the larva of a mosquito swam even more energetically in the water, beginning its short life.

During this time, he threw the second Parallel Mind into some short-lived insects and used them to cultivate the Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra to quickly increase his Mind and Enlightenment attributes.

Jiang Li needed to complete this in a short period of time, after which this Parallel Mind would become his second clone.
