The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 309 The Effects of Dragon Blood Flower

In the cave in the Red Mountains. Pan Chengfeng had been meditating all night and slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Heiwu who was still sleeping beside him, he said, "It's time to get up, lazy cat~" Heiwu reluctantly opened his eyes and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said seriously, "Today I plan to absorb the dragon blood flower to improve my physical strength, and by the way, see if I can reach the threshold of breakthrough." Hearing Pan Chengfeng say that he wanted to break through, Heiwu also became serious, stood up and meowed.

Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "I'm a genius. As long as I can find the bottleneck, I will succeed!" Heiwu was a little worried, so he asked. Unexpectedly, Pan Chengfeng took the opportunity to show off. Heiwu rolled his eyes and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said, "Help me protect the law. After all, this is the Red Mountain Range. Although this cave is safe for the time being, it may take me a long time this time."

Heiwu twisted his butt and walked out of the cave. When he reached the entrance, he turned around and meowed. Heiwu reminded him not to force it, because a breakthrough depends on the right opportunity. Pan Chengfeng nodded and gave a smile that he thought was very handsome. The smile was directly ignored by Heiwu, who went directly outside the cave to help Pan Chengfeng protect the law. Although this is the nest of the fifth-level peak sword-back beast, there are still third-, fourth-, and even fifth-level monsters nearby, but the aura of the fifth-level peak makes them dare not approach. Pan Chengfeng will need a lot of time to break through this time. As time goes by, the aura will gradually fade, and it will be dangerous at that time.

In the cave, Pan Chengfeng saw Heiwu leave, and stood up and took out six formation flags, ready to set up a defensive formation. This was bought by Pan Chengfeng at the auction house. Although it was only an intermediate formation, it was convenient. The six formation flags were directly inserted into the ground, and then activated with crystal beads. The formation will continue to operate by itself until the crystal beads are used up.

After arranging the formation, Pan Chengfeng took out the Qiankun Ding and began to throw herbs into it. After the last herb, 'Dragon Blood Flower', was thrown into the cauldron, Pan Chengfeng murmured, "This time there are a total of 209 spiritual herbs, plus a dragon blood flower. I hope it can help me reach the bottleneck!" After that, a fireball spell directly ignited the cauldron. Watching the spiritual herbs in the cauldron slowly turn into liquid medicine, Pan Chengfeng immediately took off all his clothes and jumped in.

It hurts! It hurts so much, just like being cut by tens of thousands of knives. Although Pan Chengfeng had been mentally prepared, he still groaned in pain. You know, since he started practicing, Pan Chengfeng's tolerance for pain is no exaggeration! He didn't even groan when being beaten by a combined cultivator. Now he cried out in pain just after entering the medicine, so you can imagine what will happen next. Pan Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Dragon blood flower tastes delicious, but this is the effect when used for bathing! It really hurts! ~Ahhh~~"

Hei Wu, who was outside the cave, heard Pan Chengfeng's screams and quickly blocked his ears with his claws, thinking, "Fortunately, I am cultivating my mental strength. If I were cultivating my physical body, I would have suffered a lot. But this kid's mental strength is also very strong. I wonder how he cultivated it?"

Inside the cave, Pan Chengfeng slowly got used to the initial pain, and the screams gradually stopped. Pan Chengfeng thought the hardest part was over. Who would have thought that a day later, the liquid medicine suddenly changed from green to red. The previous feeling of being tortured was only on the surface. Now it turned from the outside to the inside, and Pan Chengfeng felt like someone was holding a knife and stirring his internal organs! The originally numb sensation seemed to have returned all of a sudden.

Pan Chengfeng's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on! Why not all at once? In waves like this! Are you teasing me?!" A huge energy began to flow in Pan Chengfeng's body, which was completely out of Pan Chengfeng's control, stirring his internal organs wantonly. Pan Chengfeng felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys seemed to be crushed, and even his intestines were not spared. The energy was actually rampaging in his body!

Outside the cave, Heiwu wanted to cover his ears because Pan Chengfeng's screams were too terrifying. But Pan Chengfeng had been in there for seven days, and the aura of the sword-back beast at the peak of the fifth level of body refining was slowly dissipating. A monster could come at any time, so Heiwu didn't dare to cover his ears. Heiwu stood up and tiptoed to peek into the cave. Pan Chengfeng's screams lasted for seven days, which made Heiwu start to worry. He thought to himself, "Will that kid die? If so, I will be unlucky too~"

Heiwu was just worrying about someone dying when the screams suddenly stopped. Heiwu was shocked, but fortunately the man and the cat had a contractual connection. Heiwu felt it and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Fortunately, he didn't die. But why did it suddenly stop? Is it over? No, the effect of the dragon blood flower can last for at least thirty days. It's only the seventh day now, it won't be so fast."

Inside the cave, Pan Chengfeng smiled slightly and muttered, "I've finally figured out your route. As long as I practice the body-refining technique according to the route, I can completely absorb this energy! You've tortured me for several days! Let's begin!" The energy in the body was still running wildly, but Pan Chengfeng actually said that he had figured out its route.

It turned out that during these days, while the energy brought pain to Pan Chengfeng, Pan Chengfeng had been observing the uncontrollable energy. After observing for these days, Pan Chengfeng discovered that this energy was not just randomly moving around, but had a fixed route! The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and even the intestines were all visited by the energy. Finally, Pan Chengfeng figured out its route!

Pan Chengfeng practiced the body refining technique. At first, he followed the energy, and then slowly he pulled the energy along. Pan Chengfeng found that his internal organs became stronger with each cycle! Pan Chengfeng began to slowly pull the energy along his meridians. In this way, the energy that originally only flowed through the internal organs began to form a new route in Pan Chengfeng's body, and even the meridians absorbed the energy. Pan Chengfeng was also relieved from the original pain and began to enjoy the comfort brought by this energy.

Outside the cave, Heiwu stepped on a fifth-level body-refining monster and bit its belly. Pan Chengfeng had been in the cave for fifteen days. On the eleventh day, a monster had already tried to approach here. However, Heiwu was at least a fifth-level upper-level monster, and its aura still scared away those monsters with low intelligence. However, today, a low-level monster in the early fifth-level body-refining tried to challenge Heiwu's authority. Not surprisingly, this monster was no match for Heiwu.

Heiwu licked the corner of his mouth, cleaned up the blood, and buried the monster. After all, the smell of blood would attract more monsters, so the uneaten ones had to be buried. After burying the monster, Heiwu walked to the entrance of the cave, stretched his neck, and thought to himself: "There has been no sound since the seventh day. If it weren't for the contract with that kid, I would have thought he didn't make it. Now it's the fifteenth day, and there has been no movement. It's really strange. How can he endure that kind of pain? This kid is really a man~"

Heiwu was just daydreaming when a 'bang' suddenly sounded from the cave, followed by a few more sporadic sounds. After a while, Pan Chengfeng, dressed neatly, walked out of the cave and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days." Heiwu was startled, but he still meowed subconsciously. Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "It's not that easy. Just absorbing the energy of the dragon blood flower has cost me half my life. How can I break through the fourth level of physical training?"

Hei Wu was even more surprised. He walked around Pan Chengfeng and meowed several times. Pan Chengfeng was also a little surprised and said, "The effect of the dragon blood flower will last for thirty days? But I have absorbed it all. The cauldron is clean and there is no residue left. If there is another one, I should be able to break through. Although I failed to break through, I still vaguely feel the bottleneck. I believe I should be able to break through in a while."

Hei Wu meowed around Pan Chengfeng, and Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't be surprised! I told you before that I'm a genius. Although I didn't break through this time, my physical strength has increased to 22 pounds! It can be considered an improvement in strength." In fact, Pan Chengfeng still had some reservations. He actually got a lot of benefits this time. The dragon blood flower is indeed a precious medicine! His internal organs and meridians have been tempered, which has laid a solid foundation for his future practice of body refining techniques!

Heiwu meowed excitedly and jumped onto Pan Chengfeng's shoulder. Pan Chengfeng's strength had increased, which was a good thing for Heiwu. Pan Chengfeng also felt Heiwu's mood and said with a smile: "My strength has increased, why are you more excited than me?" Heiwu meowed unceremoniously, and Pan Chengfeng said angrily: "Besides eating, what else do you care about?! I will consider those after I reach the fourth level of physical training. Going now is just to die." Heiwu just ordered a few more dishes, but they were not what Pan Chengfeng was able to get now.

Pan Chengfeng touched Heiwu's little head and said, "We should go back. Qian'er must be worried about us." This time he came out to find clues, but who would have thought that he would offend a powerful person. Fortunately, he was saved by the Black Fox Commander by accident. However, half a year has passed, and there is only one year left for Pan Chengfeng to complete the task. He also has to catch the two assassins, so time is very tight.
