Chapter 21 Hot!

Arriving at the inn, Eznho put down what he was carrying and took a bath then started to practice cultivation. A lot has changed inside his body after completing the Tiger Chasing the Wind. His skin, flesh and bones contained hints of heavenly energy that nourished them, they were tougher and can cause damage to others even without covering it with energy. As a cultivator advances in his cultivation, his body also upgrades. Although there is a difference when compared to body enhancers, a cultivators body still has its own advantages.

Checking his dantian, the heavenly energy stored became more significantly abundant and thicker. As long as he practiced cultivation, his stored energy will slowly increase and will have a qualitative and quantitative change as long as he made breakthroughs in the future.

Retracting his consciousness, he was pondering what to do about his blood and marrow purification. A chant has been imprinted on his memory but it will take a long time to finish if he will only rely on it. If this was before, he would not mind the time but a nagging feeling of uneasiness has been scratching him. Especially when the old man was acting weird and seemed to be running from something or someone.

He saw the jar in the corner and pondered,

"The smelly old man's cultivation seems to be pretty high, what kind of favor would he ask me?"

He was having a conflict whether to owe the old man a favor or not, although he had money, it was still risky to buy a beast blood by himself especially that he had no experience. After thinking further, he decided to open the jar and would deal with the consequences in the future.

Standing in front of the jar, he let a droplet fall into the cover.

Buzz

A light hum came from the cover then a circular formation lit up made with runes that Eznho could not understand then it dimmed out. He lifted the lid with ease and made a small opening, a thin golden mist came out of the hole bringing a fragrant smell.

The sweet honey smell piqued his curiosity and fully opened it, the jar was nearly full with a golden liquid.

"Is this a beast blood?"

Eznho was curious, what kind of beast would have a golden blood? He guessed it this way because according to his acquired knowledge, only a beast blood can be used to assist the cultivator in blood and marrow purification.

He already opened the jar so might as well go all the way.

"Here goes nothing,"

He took a sip and the taste of blood did not come, instead, it tasted like honey but when he gulped it down it was like hell.

Arrgg!

He nearly shouted due to the sudden burning pain, sweat started to come out of his pores in volume. His body was starting to redden like he was being cooked, the pain was unbearable and he clutched his stomach while rolling on the floor trying to find a way to ease the pain.

He felt like his blood was boiling inside a volcano ready to erupt any minute.

Blerrgh!

Black blood came out of his mouth after half an hour of agonizing pain. He continued to lay on the floor, his room was filled with stench while his body was soaked in sweat along with impurities.

"Haa, Haa, that was nasty, I bet the old man is laughing right now," he was gasping for breath. It was like he just crawled out from hell after an intense struggle and could not even move a muscle.
