The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Looking at the chicken soup in his hand, Li Qing's scalp tingled.

A hint of fear appeared in his eyes, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Mr. Hua Yue appeared in front of him with a cold expression.

A strange, faint smell of blood penetrated Li Qing's nose.

Li Qing felt like his head was about to explode, and his whole body stood on end, as if he had encountered some great danger.

"Why didn't you knock when you came in?" Mr. Hua Yue's indifferent gaze fixed on him.

Under the scrutiny, Li Qing felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, and goosebumps rose all over his skin.

Thinking quickly, Li Qing quickly put on a smile, "I just arrived and didn't have time to knock before you opened the door, sir."

"I have already prepared the chicken soup."

Mr. Hua Yue scrutinized him, and the backyard fell silent.

With a flattering smile on his face, Li Qing respectfully handed over the chicken soup, "Sir, shall I bring it in for you, or...?"

A hint of a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Mr. Hua Yue's mouth, "Just give it to me."

Saying that, he took the bowl from Li Qing's hand.

At the moment the bowl was taken, Li Qing's heart sank continuously, sinking to the bottom of the valley.

Mr. Hua Yue looked at him with a smile, "You should go to the kitchen and get yourself a bowl. It's time to grow, so you should eat more."

"Good eating leads to good growth."

Li Qing quickly nodded, still smiling, "Thank you for your generosity, sir."

Turning around quickly, he happily walked towards the kitchen, looking very pleased.

After Li Qing turned around, Mr. Hua Yue's eyes and face turned extremely cold, and he kept staring at Li Qing's disappearing figure.

Bang.

The door closed, and the room once again filled with eerie chewing sounds, sipping soup, and low laughter.

"Grow well, hehe, only when you grow well will the taste be good..."

In the kitchen, Li Qing stood by the water, looking at his reflection in the basin.

A pale face, an ordinary appearance, no one would notice him even if he were thrown into a crowd.

At 15, in his previous life, he was just a teenager, but here he was already an adult.

From an ordinary family, he had even started working in the fields.

His whole body was trembling, and cold sweat the size of beans rolled down.

"That was close just now, I almost couldn't hold it together."

"The 10 years of studying were not in vain, my self-control is really strong."

"I think I can handle that kind of situation without turning red or panting."

"I think I've already fooled him."

"But I can't stay here, I have to leave, or I'm afraid I'll die here."

He had realized the problem, the strange smell of blood and the sound of chewing, Mr. Hua Yue was eating raw food in his room.

As for whether it was human or animal, that was unknown.

"But can I leave? I feel like that guy has probably set his sights on me?"

"The 'Blood Essence Art,' only the improved version of this technique can save me."

Thinking of this, it was like grabbing a lifeline.

Li Qing quickly focused his mind on the jade tablet in his mind and carefully studied the contents of the "Blood Essence Art."

At the same time, he served himself a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of rice, and quickly started eating.

The technique clearly stated the need to eat well to prevent the loss of vital energy while practicing the technique.

Sharpening the knife will not delay the cutting of wood.

While studying and eating, it took him half an hour to finish eating the entire mother chicken and two bowls of rice.

His stomach was very full, and Li Qing already had a rough idea in his mind.

The most important steps of this "Blood Essence Art" were divided into two parts.

The first step was the improved blood curse, which required writing the curse with one's own blood on the body.

The curse consisted of 3000 characters and could be written anywhere on the skin, as long as it was continuous.

After writing the curse, it needed to be recited from beginning to end to activate it.

The second step was to endure the pain of the blood curse's body refining. Only by enduring the transformation of the body by the blood curse could one truly enter the practice and then accumulate vital energy.

The vital energy would merge into the blood, circulate throughout the body along the blood vessels, and nourish and strengthen the body.

The "Blood Essence Art" also included a small technique called Blood Transformation, which required the consumption of vital energy to perform. When used on an enemy with any kind of wound, blood would continuously gush out and could not heal naturally, eventually leading to death from blood loss.

After quickly cleaning up the kitchen, he took a small bowl and a kitchen knife and quickly returned to his room.

There were no oil lamps in his room, something that a mere bookworm like him couldn't enjoy.

At this time, the sky was slightly dim, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still visible in the distance, barely shining through the paper-covered window.

Li Qing took off his shirt and quickly used the kitchen knife to cut his index finger, letting the blood drip into the small bowl.

With all ten fingers connected, his fingers stung, and soon the small bowl was half full.

Stopping the bleeding, Li Qing immediately began to write the improved blood curse on his body.

He took out a small brush and dipped it in the blood to start writing.

3000 characters, even if he just copied them from the jade tablet in his mind, would still require a great deal of time and effort.

It took him half an hour to write the 3000 characters, and by the time he finished, the blood had begun to coagulate.

There was no space left on the front of his body.

The wounds on his ten fingers continued to sting, and he took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing across his face.

"The final step."

Losing blood in this situation and writing 3000 characters on his body by the faint light had already pushed his Divine Body strength to its limit.

He sat down on his bed, closed his eyes, and began to recite the mysterious blood curse from the jade tablet in his mind.

"Infinite true blood, pave the way with blood, vital energy enters the blood vessels..."

Each sentence of the curse emanated from his mouth, the voice was very low but exceptionally clear, slowly echoing in his bedroom.

After an unknown amount of time, he finished reciting the 3000 characters.

The blood curse on his body emitted a faint red light, as if it had come to life, spreading across his body.

Every corner of his body was covered by this scripture, forming a network that connected everything.

Upon closer inspection, from the first character to the last, the scripture looked like a blood-colored serpent, covering his entire body.

The scripture spread into his body, seemingly infiltrating his blood vessels, causing unimaginable pain to spread throughout his body.

Li Qing's eyes bulged, filled with blood, and upon closer inspection, something seemed to be moving strangely on his blood vessels, seemingly the radiance of the blood curse characters.

The pain made him unable to utter a sound.

At this moment of pain, a figure appeared outside the door without a sound.

"Knock, knock, knock."
