Chapter 264: Sacrificial Clone (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Eternal Night Immortal City.

In a high-class inn.

“So Fellow Daoist wants to buy blood crystals.”

The innkeeper, who was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, looked at Chen Daoxuan and nodded.” No wonder…”

No wonder it’s a big deal?

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t misunderstand.”

The shopkeeper cupped his hands and said with a smile,” Although the blood crystals of Tai State are not famous in the outer states, almost all the big families in the nearby states know the wonderful effects of the blood crystals. Therefore, there are many cultivators from the outer states who come to Yongye Immortal City to buy blood crystals every year.”

The shopkeeper’s words seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally probing Chen Daoxuan’s identity.

“Fellow Daoist, do I look like a disciple of a large clan?” Chen Daoxuan smiled.”

Hearing this.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said,” Usually, it’s difficult to buy blood crystals if you’re not from a big family. But 1 have to say that you’re quite lucky. A few days ago, the Jiang family seemed to have been selling blood crystals to the outside world in order to raise spirit stones.”

“Oh? Why is the Jiang family gathering spirit stones?”

“This…”

The shopkeeper shook his head with a bitter smile.

Chen Daoxuan also knew that he had misspoken. How could a small innkeeper know why the Jiang family had made this decision?

Even though this shopkeeper was a Foundation Building cultivator, he was still a rogue cultivator.

He was able to have such knowledge because he had been in Yongye Immortal City for many years and was relatively well-informed.

“Thank you for your explanation, Fellow Daoist.”

Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands and handed over a storage bag.

The shopkeeper used his divine sense to count the spirit stones in the storage bag and then put it away. He smiled and said,”You’re welcome.”

Next.

Chen Daoxuan asked many times.

The conclusion he came to was no different from what the innkeeper had said, so he was relieved.

“Everything went smoothly!”

Chen Daoxuan’s face was filled with joy.

After finding out about the sale of the blood crystals, Chen Daoxuan, who had been relieved, rented a Grade B Immortal’s Cave in Yongye Immortal City. He wanted to refine his avatar here.

This was because he didn’t know how many blood crystals were needed to refine his clone.

Logically speaking.

Chen Daoxuan could choose to use magic tools to refine his avatar.

There was no need to go around in circles and waste so much time. After all, the main purpose of his avatar was to harvest the World Origin Pearl from the True Demon Realm.

But in reality.

There was a natural limit to the number of times one could refine a clone.

When cultivators refined avatars, they couldn’t refine as many as they wanted.

To refine an avatar, one needed to cut the cultivator’s sea of consciousness. According to the avatar secret technique,Substitution Tribulation, the essence of refining an avatar was to split the soul.

He needed to inject a portion of his original body’s soul into the avatar.

Therefore, before the Immortal Soul Stage, a cultivator could only cultivate one avatar at most. Even if this avatar died, the cultivator could not cultivate a second avatar.

Otherwise, cutting the soul continuously would cause irreversible damage to the origin of the soul and affect the cultivator’s Dao path.

This was also the reason why Chen Daoxuan chose the flesh clone with the greatest potential.

Otherwise, just to use his clone as cannon fodder, Chen Daoxuan could choose a cultivator of the Fu generation from the Chen family’s military headquarters to go to the True Demon Realm in his place.

In the following days.

Chen Daoxuan shut himself in his cave abode in the Eternal Night Immortal City.

He had brought a total of 340 million spirit stones from the Chen family. With the price of 100,000 spirit stones per blood crystal, he could buy a total of 3400 blood crystals. Including his own one, he had a total of 3401 blood crystals.

With so many blood crystals, it was definitely enough to refine his clone.

In the rented cave abode.

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand and activated the defensive array formation that came with the cave abode.

Chen Daoxuan, who was sitting on the warm jade futon, patted the storage pouch at his waist.

Suddenly, a pile of blood crystals appeared in front of him. Counting carefully, there were a total of 200 blood crystals.

Immediately after, Chen Daoxuan summoned his Intrinsic Flying Snow Sword.

He stretched out his right arm and rolled up his sleeve. Then, he controlled the Flying Snow sword and slashed at his right arm.

Intense pain came.

Chen Daoxuan’s expression did not change. He picked up a blood crystal with his left hand and pressed it on the wound that was curled up like a baby’s mouth.

At this moment, a miraculous scene happened.

The blood crystal melted when it came into contact with Chen Daoxuan’s blood. Then, it quickly fused into Chen Daoxuan’s wound.

Moreover, his wounds were healing rapidly as the blood crystals entered his body.

Chen Daoxuan wasn’t surprised that his wounds could heal so quickly.

This was because he was a body refinement cultivator. Although his body had not yet reached the level of flesh and blood regeneration, he could still regrow his severed limbs.

However, it was not a problem for him to quickly recover from his injuries.

Not to mention that Chen Daoxuan had cultivated a body-tempering cultivation technique, even for Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had not cultivated a body-tempering cultivation technique, with the strength of their bodies, recovering from such injuries was a piece of cake.

Just as True Lord Yuanchen had said.

The cultivation of a cultivator’s essence, qi, and spirit was actually dependent on each other. Even a Foundation Building cultivator who had never cultivated a body-tempering technique would have a body that a Qi Condensation cultivator could not compare to.

As the blood crystal fused into Chen Daoxuan’s body.

His skin was as red as a cooked prawn. In addition, the temperature of his body was also rising rapidly.

If a mortal were to approach him at this moment, they would probably be scalded to death by the high temperature emitted by his body.

Even so.

Chen Daoxuan’s consciousness was still clear.

This was the first time he had tried to use blood crystals to refine his body since he had learned the method of using them from Zhang Yu.

He calculated carefully.

Ever since Chen Daoxuan stepped into Foundation Establishment, he had not cultivated the Dragon Python Heaven Swallowing Technique..
