Chapter 13 Rotten Blood

?Bai family house.

Bai Ming's hands were covered in blood. Before him was a two meter wide wooden tub, placed in it was fourteen year old youths naked corpse. On Bai Ming's right side there was a small pile of human bones and skin, on his left were thirteen buckets filled with human blood mixed with crushed organs. The sweet fragrance of blood filled the atmosphere.

Bai Ming was softly humming as his bloody hand held a sharp dagger, he then pointed the dagger at youths neck and softly sliced it.

Swish!

Bai Ming moved the dagger from the neck down to the youths abdomen. Blood instantly gushed out .

After that, Bai Ming placed the dagger down, then he stretched his arms and ripped the skin off the boys chest. Next he expressionlessly pulled out the rib cage from his chest.

Then, Bai Ming repeated the process, peeling the skin of the youths arms, legs and every inch of his body and pulling out the bones completely.

In the wooden tub there was only the boys blood and organs present, it was a bloody mess. Next, he used his hands to squish the organs present in the tub, turning them into meat paste.

After that, he poured the contents in the tub into a empty bucket. Then he took out another corpse from the storage pouch and repeated the process until all the corpses in his storage bag were heartlessly defiled.

This continued on till midnight, then he moved his tired body to bed and slept soundly. After an intense day of fighting his body was naturally tired and he had also suffered a injury, he needed to rest urgently.

....

The next day, morning.

Bai Ming sat cross legged, in his hand there was piece of finger sized spirit stone. He circulated primeval star mantra as the essence stored in the spirit stone entered his body, the spiritual qi first moved towards the Dantian, before making a full circle on his Dantian. Next the spiritual qi moved through various spirit chains in his body nourishing and strengthening his blood and bones. Once this cycle finished, he repeated the same thing again and again until the entire spirit stone was reduced to blue powder.

Bai Ming let out a breath of turbid air, he slowly opened his eyes. A cold brilliance flashed past his red eyes.

"Cultivation is truly unfathomable... I still need around two weeks to reach the 8th layer. Once I reach the 8th layer I will have 8000jin of raw strength, right now I only have 7000jin of raw strength, along with the help of marital techniques I have already mastered, at max I am able display 9500jin of strength. My movement technique is still at the initial mastery level, I have to quickly reach mastery in it. Other than that my main focus is to quickly cultivate the rotten blood arts, I have already collected an amount of materials. It should probably be enough to form a complete crescent."

Rotten blood arts a mystic grade art, Bai Ming had gotten it long ago from the panel. But at the time he lacked materials to cultivate it. Rotten blood art was a body cultivation method which needs human blood as a catalyst. It has a total of 9 layers, at the completion of each layer a complete crescent symbol will appear on the users body. The rotten blood arts is a demonic art created by three headed demon saint a demonic overload at the peak of his time, in order to cultivate it he had massacred millions of people. The materials required will increase as the number of crescents increase. cultivating rotten blood arts will not only exponentially increase ones raw strength, the individuals defense and ability to heal will also reach profound level. Normally Cultivators have high vitality, But without their spiritual energy acting as a shield their bare skin isn't any different than that of a mortal.

"Once I completely form the first crescent I will gain 9000jin of raw strength, but that's not all my body without any protection from spiritual energy will be able take a hit from peak bone forging realm expert. Of course if he uses a martial technique or he also cultivates external arts like myself it will be a different story. But according to my knowledge not one person in the Xuan mountain has cultivated external arts till today. It's not that they are unwilling but they lack the means to do it. But for now.."

After finishing his train of thoughts, he then lightly taped at his storage pouch. Dozens of bags flew out, these were loot he had gotten after killing those weaklings.

"Tsk, broke bastards. Only a total of 217 spirit stones, truly disappointing. But now I have a total of 84 low grade beast cores, 51 mid grade beast cores and two high grade tier 1 beast cores. Even though the exam was cancelled, they informed that they would still exchange at previous agreed upon price. But even though I have a lot more cores now, exchanging all of them will probably get me killed. At most I can only add 5-6 mid grade cores to my original amount." Bai Ming consider.

Even though he had lot of extra cores now, he didn't dare exchange them. He was worried that, those hidden experts had recorded the number of hell Wolf's he had killed. And if he suddenly brought out a huge number of cores wouldn't they be suspicious of him. That was plain stupid in his view. But what Bai Ming was unaware of was even though his guess was correct, but during the battle the destruction was on a level he couldn't imagine. After all, core formation realm expert's had also taken part in this battle. Hence most of the record's were already turned to ashes.

"But I can also sell these cores in the market, even though the difference in price is huge, I can only do this. I can't let my greed get the better of me. But even that has to happen after a month or so. It's better to be cautious." Bai Ming then headed for the academy.
