Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Ruan Liuli, that young girl, followed closely behind her master.

She, too, was approaching the mysterious courtyard that stood alone in the desolate land outside Qingshi City.

...

Outside Qingshi City.

On the desolate land.

There was a courtyard occupying a vast area, almost as if it was another mysterious space isolated from the world.

Luo Changfeng, with his hands clasped behind his back, stood silently at this place.

After a long absence, this mysterious courtyard which stood in the wasteland seemed to have undergone significant changes.

Not to mention anything else, just the incredibly oppressive atmosphere alone.

The air was filled with wafts of a dense, bloody scent.

This caused Luo Changfeng to pause and observe for a moment.

"Let's go..."

Only after standing outside this courtyard and observing for a while did he proceed to walk into it.

The following process wasn't much different from the previous two.

Thirty-three people, not a large number.

Moreover, the quantity of Epiphyllum Elixir in Luo Changfeng's possession was gradually accumulating more and more.

Therefore, he no longer restricted the number of Shadow Guards.

He took out thirty-three courses of the Third-Generation Epiphyllum Elixir, which he had recently developed, and handed them to the thirty-three reserve Shadow Guards.

A first-generation Epiphyllum Elixir would squeeze out everything that could be squeezed from oneself.

It would then transform them into cultivation and strength.

For instance, lifespan, your life energy, your talent and potential.

Moreover, the transformation efficiency of the first-generation Epiphyllum Elixir was too low.

Therefore, it was soon replaced by the second-generation Epiphyllum Elixir developed by Luo Changfeng.

The second-generation Epiphyllum Elixir, while only targeting talent and potential for extraction,

Would no longer touch upon lifespan.

But because the transformation efficiency of the second-generation Epiphyllum Elixir was much better than the first-generation,

Even though it only squeezed an individual's talent and potential, it was still much better than the first-generation Epiphyllum Elixir.

And this third-generation Epiphyllum Elixir still targets an individual's talent and potential for extraction.

Lifespan, however, still remains untouched.

It appears to be somewhat similar to the second-generation.

But the transformation efficiency of this third-generation Epiphyllum Elixir is at least twice as high as that of the second-generation.

Furthermore, after squeezing out talent and potential, the second-generation Epiphyllum Elixir would limit a person's cultivation and strength ceiling.

While the third-generation Epiphyllum Elixir does the same,

It doesn't strictly limit a person's potential. The third-generation Epiphyllum Elixir, while extorting personal talent and potential, also leaves a bit of opportunity.

If you are diligent enough,

And you have enough fortune,

You will be able to easily surpass the limit imposed by the third-generation Epiphyllum Elixir without much trouble after the extraction of your talent and potential.

Defy the heavens to change your fate, breaking through your own limits.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Time came to the next day.

Early in the morning, when the sky was not yet completely bright,

Inside the mysterious courtyard standing in the desolate land outside Qingshi City,

On a plot of land where more than thirty people were gathered.

At this moment, the air was faintly filled with strands of reddish mist.

This was a unique scene within this mysterious courtyard.

It seemed that due to excessive killings, this courtyard would always be filled with difficult-to-disperse, blood-colored fog every morning.

"Is it over?"

Suddenly, Luo Changfeng opened his eyes.

He looked at the remaining twenty-two Shadow Guards in front of him.

A hint of surprise couldn't help flashing through his eyes.

The loss rate seemed somewhat high.

Directly reaching a third.

The third-generation Epiphyllum Elixir was definitely superior to the second-generation in many aspects.

However, the potency of this third-generation Epiphyllum Elixir,

Was also much stronger than that of the second-generation.

The loss rate, naturally, would also increase by a considerable amount.

"However, it seems to be worth it..."

"The remaining twenty-two people, all Viscera Refinement."

"Seventeen at Viscera Refinement Initial Stage, four at Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage, and one..."

Luo Changfeng, while looking, slowly directed his gaze to an old man in gray.

A stooped figure, a face marked by the toll of years.

White hair, white beard, emaciated in form.

On his face, there seemed to be patches of dark spots...on the old man?

Seeing before him the old man whose cultivation had already reached Organ Refinement Perfection Realm,

And was even not far from the Blood Refinement Realm above the perfection,

Luo Changfeng couldn't help but slightly squint his eyes.

Whether it was the Third-Generation Epiphyllum Elixir or the second generation.

Both these Epiphyllum Elixirs had completely removed the strain on one's lifespan.

Logically speaking, no one should turn from a youth into an old man after taking the Third-Generation Epiphyllum Elixir.

Yet if that was the case...

Then there remained only one possibility.

That was that this old man before him had already reached this age from the beginning.

"Interesting, truly interesting..."

With a smile, Luo Changfeng silently walked towards the old man in front of him.

The Shadow Guards he had encountered were always young children or young men and women.

Middle-aged ones were even rarer.

And as for the elderly, it seemed that aside from the old man in front of him, there were no others.

This alone showed how special this old man really was.

...

After exchanging looks with that hunched old fellow for a while,

and learning his alias was "Zhen,"

Luo Changfeng then left the courtyard.

Of course, before leaving,

he appointed the old man as the third Shadow Guard Commander under his command.

Organ Refinement Perfection Realm.

The man who didn't seem far from the Blood Refinement Realm certainly had the qualifications to become the third Commander of the Shadow Guards.

"Zhen?"

Upon returning to his own courtyard,

Luo Changfeng quietly sat down under the Stone Pavilion.

While drinking the tea in his hand, he murmured softly,

Zhen seems to be a kind of poisonous bird.

And that old fellow he had appointed as the third Shadow Guard Commander had chosen the character Zhen as his alias, but what did that mean?

Or could it be that he was like the Zhen, poisonous throughout?

"Hah..."

After pondering for a moment, Luo Changfeng couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.

He stopped thinking about that old fellow.

What did it matter what his alias was? As long as he could benefit Luo Changfeng, that was enough.

As for anything else?

Why bother caring so much?

...

In the blink of an eye,

several days had passed.

In the Da Feng Dynasty, Xunyang Prefecture, within the Ke Family estate.

In the room where the Family Head resided,

Ke Xiaowen, the current head of the Ke Family, was sitting in the main seat.

He looked at the report in his hands,

his eyebrows remained tightly furrowed and couldn't relax.

"The Luo Family..."

"It seems that not only has my Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family been played by the Luo Family, but even the New Emperor Feng Wumian has been fooled by them..."

Clutching the report in his hand,

after a long silence, Ke Xiaowen finally let out a slow breath.

The lands of Qingcheng Prefecture were clearly opened by Feng Wumian's own efforts.

And the result...

I have been firmly held back by the Luo Family, which controls three prefectures.

Feng Wuhen, the weakest in overall strength among the three major forces, turned out to be the final winner.

No, to be exact,

it was the Luo Family who deliberately made Feng Wuhen the final winner of the battle for Qingcheng Prefecture.

As for why the Luo Family would do this?

Ke Xiaowen had a rough guess.

Probably, the Luo Family wanted to achieve a delicate balance,

making Feng Wuhen and Feng Wumian continue to struggle for the supreme position.

This move was yet another open scheme by the Luo Family.

In Wan Shan Prefecture, it was an open scheme.

In the war for Qingcheng Prefecture, it was still an inevitable open scheme.

Yet this kind of scheme required giving up short-term benefits to obtain greater returns in the future.

Ke Xiaowen couldn't help admiring the person steering the Luo Family, which controlled three prefectures, for being able to make such a decision.

After all, if it were him, Ke Xiaowen,

he might not have been able to make the same choice as the Luo Family.
