Reborn in the Great Yan Dynasty: I Cultivated to Become a Martial Saint Through Telekinesis

Chapter 49 Improvement

How to divide it?

To be honest, no one wanted to share, but no one had the ability to subdue the other eight people present and take all the Awakening Blood Grass.

Moreover, there were two corpses of Azure Flame Birds lying on the ground. Their heart blood had a great promoting effect on the cultivation of martial artists at the flesh and skin realm.

"How do you want to divide it?"

Li Zhujie asked, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Teng and You Chendong.

One of these two was a Stone Skin level martial artist, and the other possessed second-tier soft armor; neither of them could be easily defeated by him.

In his mind, only these two people posed a threat to him.

"Let's do as Senior Brother Zhao just said."

You Chendong chuckled and said, "The Blood-Awakening Grass will be divided into four portions. The three of us will each receive one portion, and the remaining portion will be divided equally among the others. As for the Azure Flame Bird, the two senior brothers can take it. How does that sound?"

A first-tier demon beast is worth no more than two thousand taels of silver.

Even a demon beast like the Azure Flame Bird, which possesses the bloodline of a divine beast, wouldn't sell for ten thousand taels even if its price were several times higher. This is far less valuable than the Blood Awakening Grass, so You Chendong naturally wouldn't care.

To obtain even one more of a treasure like the Blood-Awakening Grass would be an immense bargain.

However, this method of dividing the plant into four equal parts undoubtedly benefits the three of them greatly, while the remaining people don't even get a single plant. Who would be willing to accept that?

"No way!" "I won't agree to this method!" "Why should you each get a share!"...

There was a chorus of dissent among the disciples. They were all chosen ones, and they had all contributed to the hunt of the Azure Flame Bird. Who would submit to whom?

As for Zhao Teng and Li Zhujie, who are in the Stone Skin Realm, they have only cultivated for a year longer than the others and have only passed the first level of the Tower of Ascension. Their potential is not as good as theirs, so why should they get less points?

"Shut up!"

Zhao Teng roared, raising his long staff and pointing it at the crowd, shouting, "Those who are not convinced, step forward! We martial artists rely on strength; what's the use of arguing?"

"Whoever beats me, what's wrong with me giving you this share?!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, please don't be angry. I think this is better."

Li Zhujie said with a smile, "Since they are not satisfied, then we might as well not give them a single one."

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Li's words are exactly what I wanted to say. Since you're not satisfied, then I won't give you a single one!"

You Chendong's gaze swept over everyone, and he sneered, "We contributed the most when it came to labor, and we are stronger than you, yet you're dissatisfied when it comes to distributing the Blood Awakening Grass. Do you even have the right to say that?"

"You...you..."

The remaining disciples were furious upon hearing this; not giving them even a single plant was far too domineering.

However, the principle remains the same: in this Rejuvenation Realm, not only is one's external martial arts prowess tested, but also one's own spiritual realm.

The Stone Skin Realm's defense and strength surpass those of the Bull Skin Realm, and given their similar external martial arts skills, their defeat is almost certain.

Even with You Chendong protected by a second-tier inner armor, they would have no chance of injuring him, nor could they handle him.

"The teacher is watching from outside. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the teacher when you go out, acting so domineeringly?" He Liangcheng asked defiantly.

He was the first to arrive here. If it weren't for the two Azure Flame Birds suddenly appearing, and if the Azure Flame Birds hadn't mutated to be even more powerful, the Blood Awakening Grass might have been his. So he felt the most aggrieved.

Zhao Teng and the other two didn't say anything, they just sneered.

teacher?

The martial arts instructors only care about the result: as long as the Blood-Awakening Grass is taken out, that's all that matters. As for who took it...

The headmaster's words before entering were very good: fighting is allowed, but killing each other is not. This is the bottom line of the Martial Arts Hall.

Unless someone dies, no teacher will care about them.

Everyone understands this principle: where is fairness and justice among martial artists?

"Alright, it's time to make a choice again."

You Chendong smiled and said, "Gentlemen, now you either leave this place, fight the three of us, or you can all come at me together."

The crowd fell silent. They knew they couldn't win in a fight, and even if the six of them joined forces, their chances of winning were slim.

Mo Zheng looked at the three of them, seemingly lost in thought.

He was naturally unwilling to accept this outcome. He wanted the Azure Flame Bird and the Blood Awakening Grass. He was confident that he could fight three opponents at once.

He was able to defeat Qu Fei and Liu Changfeng together because the two of them were slower and weaker than him, and their external martial arts skills were also lower, so he was able to achieve a crushing victory.

He could handle all three at once. You Chendong had strong defense, but the Stone Skin Warrior's strength and defense were superior to his. It seemed more likely he would fail, unless...

His gaze shifted to the blue flame bird on the ground.

"Fine, let's fight! I'll fight you to the death!"

Enraged, Yuan Shouxin roared and charged forward with his weapon.

With the first person taking the lead, the remaining people were immediately motivated and followed suit, charging forward. Outnumbered, they certainly had a chance.

Twelve disciples entered, three of whom were burned unconscious. Apart from You Chendong and his two companions, there were six people standing on Mo Zheng's side, and four of them rushed out at once.

Only a female disciple of ordinary appearance and Mo Zheng stood in place, motionless.

Ding ding ding ding...

As the seven clashed, the sounds of weapons clashing filled the air. Mo Zheng and the female disciple moved at the same time.

However, Mo Zheng was aiming for the Azure Flame Bird on the ground, while the female disciple was rushing towards the Blood Awakening Grass in the forest, both of them intending to take advantage of the chaos.

"You dare!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Teng and his companions went berserk, directly withstanding the opponent's attack and rushing into the forest.

Not wanting to be left behind, He Liangcheng and the others rushed in as well, none of them wanting to be outmaneuvered by the woman.

Instead, Mo Zheng charged towards the two Azure Flame Birds, and for a moment no one paid any attention to him.

call out!call out!

As the sword flashed, Mo Zheng swiftly harvested the demon core and heart's blood of the Azure Flame Bird, completing the collection in just a few breaths.

Afterwards, he took these treasures and, ignoring the chaos in the sycamore grove, retreated straight out.

Still, nobody cared about him.

Everyone's attention was focused on the Blood Awakening Grass. Although the Azure Flame Bird was also considered precious, its value was far less than that of the Blood Awakening Grass.

Mo Zheng ran all the way to the edge of the sycamore forest, found a large tree with lush branches and leaves, climbed up, and then stopped.

"The demon core and heart of the Azure Flame Bird..."

Looking at the two treasures, Mo Zheng couldn't help but laugh. He had obtained them effortlessly. He had originally planned to have a fierce battle with the Azure Flame Bird, but the martial arts hall teacher gave him the order to team up. With their combined efforts, he got them without much trouble, and even got two of them.

Under the sunlight, the demon core and heart of the Azure Flame Bird glowed with a faint azure light, especially the heart, which seemed to have faint azure flames burning inside, making it extremely beautiful.

He certainly wanted to get the Blood-Awakening Grass, but without using his mental power, he had very little chance of dealing with those three.

Rather than fighting to the death with no guarantee of success, it's better to settle for second best and complete the task assigned by Liu Qing first.

Now, the biggest problem has been solved.

"According to ancient records, the blood from the heart of the Azure Flame Bird must not be swallowed, otherwise it will surely burn its intestines and rot until it dies."

Mo Zheng recalled the books he had read before. Not all treasures could be swallowed directly. Some required the use of many other medicinal herbs, while others required a special environment. There were many different kinds of things, and if the method of use was incorrect, it would be harmful rather than beneficial.

The heart blood of the Azure Flame Bird is just like that. It is a demon beast that contains a trace of divine beast bloodline. Its blood is also very strange. Unless you are a strong person in the Visceral Realm, with your internal organs as hard as steel, you will definitely die if you drink it.

This treasure is applied to the body and gradually absorbed, which can transform the skin and flesh, and even greatly enhance the skin's healing ability.

Mo Zheng stripped himself naked right there in the tree.

Then, he slashed open the heart of the Azure Flame Bird with his sword, squeezing all its blood into his hand. A slight burning sensation immediately came from his palm, and it continued to intensify.

He clasped his hands together and smeared the blood on his upper body, arms, and thighs, and the burning sensation immediately spread throughout his body.

"It feels quite comfortable."

Mo Zheng's eyes lit up as streams of warmth flowed through his skin and into his body. Under the influence of these warm currents, his skin and flesh began to transform, feeling warm and itchy.

However, as time passed, the warm current intensified, and the bluish blood that had just been applied to the skin could be seen decreasing, seeping into the flesh through the pores and being gradually absorbed.

It's hot, hot, hot!

The warm current had transformed into embers, continuously roasting the flesh.

"Ouch, this isn't recorded in any of the ancient texts."

Mo Zheng clenched his fists, his whole body trembling. At this moment, he felt as if he were on a grill, every inch of his skin being licked by flames. Waves of burning pain assaulted his mind, making his face turn pale. He gritted his teeth to avoid making a sound.

The temperature continues to rise, and the pain intensifies.

Mo Zheng's skin had turned completely red, like a fully cooked shrimp, and he was curled up in pain.

The heat made him feel as if he could be burned to death at any moment.

Pain relentlessly assaulted his body; the pain was so intense that it permeated his entire being, and there was no way to alleviate it.

"Um……"

Mo Zheng let out a muffled groan, his body drenched in sweat, his internal energy surging wildly, and his blood and qi continuously strengthening.

As time passed, he nearly lost consciousness, but what followed was the large amount of Azure Flame Bird blood seeping into his flesh, causing his skin and flesh to rapidly transform.

The power of the Azure Flame Bird's blood was being frantically devoured by his flesh, blood, and internal energy. With the help of this power, his strength was increasing rapidly, and the tempering of his flesh was progressing at an accelerated pace. This rate of improvement was so fast that his flesh could not withstand it, and some parts of his flesh tore open, with blood slowly oozing out.

However, with the help of the Azure Flame Bird's blood, the wounds began to heal at a visible speed.

Tearing, healing, tearing again, healing again...

Under this repeated pulling and tugging, Mo Zheng's body underwent astonishing changes, and his physical attributes became much stronger. This transformation was tens of millions of times faster than during his usual cultivation.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe an incense stick's time, maybe a day, but the pain seemed to have crossed a certain limit and suddenly began to fall, like the tide receding, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"It's finally over."

The energy of the Azure Flame Bird's blood had been completely absorbed. Mo Zheng stood up and felt the changes in his body.

Normally, disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, with the aid of Qi Gathering Pills, can break through to the Stone Skin Realm within two or three years.

Mo Zheng has mental power, and his cultivation progress is much faster than theirs. It is estimated that he can enter the Stone Skin Realm in about half a year.

He had only been at the cowhide level for a month, and his flesh and skin were still some distance from the stone skin level. However, it was the blood of the Azure Flame Bird that greatly increased the degree of his flesh and skin tempering. He estimated that he would be able to break through to the stone skin level in half a month to a month.

This saved nearly half a year of hard work; it truly lives up to its reputation as a demon beast imbued with the bloodline of a divine beast.

"My strength..."

Mo Zheng made the slightest movement, and the sound of his bones and muscles resonating filled the air. His internal energy and blood circulation were greatly enhanced, and his strength also increased significantly.

The blood from the heart of the Azure Flame Bird provides a comprehensive boost to physical fitness.

"It must be close to five thousand jin, maybe even more!"

Mo Zheng secretly estimated the increase in his strength, then looked up at the sky.

The sun remained high in the sky, moving very little, for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"It felt like an eternity, probably because of the pain; it only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to pass."

Mo Zheng looked at the other Azure Flame Bird heart.

After absorbing this heart's blood, he is guaranteed to break through to the Stone Skin level, and his power will increase greatly. At that time, he will not be afraid of even if nine people join forces, let alone Li Zhujie and the other two!

This was Mo Zheng's plan.

The reason he didn't fight for the Blood Awakening Grass but instead sought out the Azure Flame Bird was to improve his strength.

If you're not strong enough, you won't be able to obtain the Blood Awakening Grass in a multi-person melee, and you'll end up with many wounds.

"I hope that by the time I finish refining this Azure Flame Bird's heart blood, you will still be fighting over it, so I can save my energy."

Mo Zheng swiftly cut open the Azure Flame Bird's heart and began smearing it with blood once more.

Perhaps because I had just gone through it, or perhaps because my skin and flesh had become stronger, the pain this time was much less. At least I didn't almost faint like before, and the pain even lasted shorter.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Mo Zheng had finished absorbing the blood of the Azure Flame Bird and returned to normal.

"Is this what they mean by the layers of stone?"

Mo Zheng looked at his own skin and slashed it with his sword. He immediately felt a hard impact, which deflected the sword, leaving only a white scratch on it.

He used some force and slashed again, breaking the skin slightly, but he still felt resistance. Once he removed the sword, the bleeding stopped rapidly, and the skin healed slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's not just its toughness, but also its healing speed; these are the benefits brought by the blood of the Azure Flame Bird."

"Now, its defense is not much worse than that of ordinary demonic beasts."

Mo Zheng laughed. For a martial artist, nothing is more joyful than the improvement of one's strength.

Although the Blood-Awakening Grass is priceless, it has absolutely no effect on people without bloodline talent.

"My power..."

He casually threw a punch, and with a loud "boom," the air emitted a sharp whistling sound.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The sound of continuous blows came as Mo Zheng threw punches one after another, each punch creating a deep hole in the tree trunk.

Wood chips flew everywhere, the branches and leaves of the big tree swayed, and Mo Zheng frantically vented the pleasure of his growing strength.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the tree finally gave way, its trunk shattering into pieces. Mo Zheng, carrying his clothes and weapons, landed on the ground with a tumble, shouting excitedly, "That was exhilarating! So exhilarating!"
