Chapter 167: Chapter 92: Transcendental Iron-Cutting Sword! Three Blood Refinings!_3

The medicinal power of a single Blood Refining Pill took Su Changkong twenty days to fully assimilate!

Upon completing the assimilation of the first pill, Su Changkong immediately took the second one; he also didn’t forget to delve deeper into his Blade Technique, attempting to integrate the techniques of Giant Whale Exhales into his swordplay.

“Chi!”

From the scabbard, the Iron-Cutting Sword was drawn, resembling a frosty wave of light, stirring up burst after burst of whistling air as it cleaved through space. Over and over he practiced, time and time again he comprehended and modified, infusing the skills of Giant Whale Exhales into his technique until through countless repetitions, he perfected it.

Time passed, and before he knew it, two calm months had flown by.

In the morning, as usual, Su Changkong was practicing the Five Animal Frolics.

Whoosh!

However, during his practice, the Qi and Blood around Su Changkong surged, forming a layer of crimson veil around him that was more substantial than before, like a finely crafted silk garment, radiating a heavy oppressive force!

“Hu!”

Feeling sweat emerge, Su Changkong stopped his practice of the Five Animal Frolics and took a deep breath.

In two months’ time, leveraging the unique physique granted by the Giant Whale Skill, Su Changkong had successfully assimilated three Blood Refining Pills, taking his Qi and Blood to a higher level and completing his third Blood Refining.

“The third Blood Refining! One more step and it’s the second tier of Qi and Blood, the realm of Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke. Then, I’m sure my strength will rise yet another level, even increase lifespan and potential growth!”

Su Changkong clenched his fist, his heart filled with joy.

In just three months, Su Changkong completed Blood Refining twice; his progress could not be said to be slow!

Although he had not increased his lifespan, a breakthrough to the realm of Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke and the qualitative change in Qi and Blood should enable him to increase his lifespan!

The other aspect was the Iron Blade Technique!

Standing in place, Su Changkong placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist; the Iron-Cutting Sword was unsheathed in an instant.

“Chi!”

The faint sound of cutting, accompanied by the white smoke generated from the friction between the blade and the air, made this strike seem as if it were a tightly compressed beam of high-pressure water slicing through, leaving behind a white mist like sea fog in the air, only gradually dissipating after Su Changkong sheathed his sword.

Iron Blade Technique (Transcendental Level 1%)

After sheathing his sword, Su Changkong, having spent two months, had brought what was already an almost Eight Realms level Iron Blade Technique up a notch by incorporating the techniques of Giant Whale Exhales, finally reaching the Eighth Realm.

When Su Changkong unsheathed his sword, it was as if a jet of water, compressed to its ultimate form, became a water blade that cut through everything, impregnable.

With Blade Nurturing Art in combination, that would be extremely frightening. Facing Qi Chenghong, with whom he had nearly perished together not long ago, Su Changkong estimated that his first strike could gravely injure or even kill him!

Having achieved his goal, Su Changkong felt waves of relief. One had to eat one bite at a time; accumulative progress would eventually lead to a transformative change!

Now it was early spring, and a trace of chill still lingered in the air.

That day, Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang came to visit Su Changkong.

“Little brother, looking at you, you seem to have made quite a progress!”

Upon seeing Su Changkong, Sikong Zhan exclaimed, able to sense that Su Changkong’s spirits had improved a lot compared to two months ago.

“Some progress.”

Su Changkong nodded his agreement; without the three Blood Refining Pills gifted by Sikong Zhan, he wouldn’t have been able to complete the third Blood Refining so quickly.

Su Changkong also noticed that in the past two months, Sikong Zhan no longer looked haggard, apparently having completely recovered from the injuries he had sustained before.

Sikong Zhan then said, “We are planning to enter the Blue Rain Sea to eradicate some sea pirates soon, do you want to come along and have a look?”

The most important foundation of the Giant Whale Gang lay within the Blue Rain Sea.

Connecting three provinces, the Giant Whale Gang guarded crucial sea routes, extracting silver money from the passing merchant ships — essentially protection fees!

However, unlike the Black Cavalry Gang which only collected protection fees without fulfilling their duties, essentially being bandits.

Places like Black Iron Manor paid the protection fees on time every year, but if they faced threats, the Black Cavalry Gang would not intervene.

The Giant Whale Gang, on the other hand, would genuinely protect these ships. The benefits from the Blue Rain Sea were immense, fostering a large number of sea pirates who looted passing ships.

The duty of the Giant Whale Gang was to exterminate these sea pirates!

Therefore, the reputation of the Giant Whale Gang was quite good; most merchant ships would willingly pay up, seeking protection.

Now, Sikong Zhan was preparing to set out to sea to suppress piracy, which was also the way he had been building his prestige over the years. He felt that Su Changkong could also join the expedition, to widen his horizons.

“That’s fine, let’s go together,”

After a moment of thought, Su Changkong agreed.

For one thing, he had been freeloading off the Giant Whale Gang, which he felt a bit uneasy about. For another, Su Changkong needed a lot of resources to break through the limits of Qi Blood Three Transformation; after all, he was not a member of the Sikong Family, and they could not be expected to provide such tremendous resources for him for nothing.

By targeting these sea pirates, Su Changkong could rob from the rich to aid the poor, looting gold from them to then spend on buying Pill Medicines and ingredients, sustaining war with war!

Even if not for that, it would still be beneficial to see the world and gain experience.

“Then get ready, we’ll set off early tomorrow morning,” Sikong Zhan said upon seeing his agreement.

With his current unique identity, Su Changkong could not afford to show his face in front of other Giant Whale Gang disciples, so preparations were needed.

Sikong Zhan left for the time being, and Su Changkong rested well for the day.

Early the next morning, Su Changkong met up with Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang, but at this time, he had gone through an even greater change.

Not only had he altered his bone structure, but he also utilized a bit of the Disguise Technique he had previously learned on the side, making himself appear much older, almost looking close to thirty. Dressed in the attire of a Giant Whale Gang disciple, a black base embroidered with blue fish-tail patterns, four in total, placed him in the ranks of the elite disciples within the Giant Whale Gang!

“Now I am called Li Tailai,” Su Changkong informed Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang. This would be his current identity!
