"Hmph!"

Although the Old Village Chief was old, his strength was not to be underestimated. Especially after obtaining the complete version of the "Blood Tempering Method" taught by Mu Jinyu, his cultivation improved further after compensating through training!

Facing the onslaught of ferocious beasts, he scoffed disdainfully, then charged forward wielding his staff, striking at the head of a charging rhino beast!

"Bang!"

With a light tap, the rhino beast's head exploded like a watermelon, sending red and white splattering everywhere.

The Old Village Chief moved with incredible agility, nothing like an old man, and with a stomp, he suddenly leapt into the air!

"Boom!"

With another swing of the staff, a thunderous crash resounded, and the entire ground before him collapsed. Dozens of rampaging beasts were smashed into a pulp, indistinguishable from one another!

Seeing this, the beasts that initially wanted to surge forward hesitated, standing in place and emitting low warning growls.

"Tap... Tap..."

At this moment, Mu Jinyu walked out of the cave. Seeing the Old Village Chief holding the ground single-handedly, he couldn't help but be stunned, then shouted, "Master!"

"Hmm, you focus on training. I've got this!"

The Old Village Chief glanced back at Mu Jinyu, noticing his weakness and the tempting aura emanating from him.

Even though he didn't know what that aura was, or why it stirred him, the Old Village Chief didn't ask more, calmly instructing Mu Jinyu to continue cultivating without worry.

"Roar!"

As Mu Jinyu appeared, the aura of the Dragon Blood became more intense, causing the previously hesitant beasts to roar excitedly again, impatiently pawing the ground. Soon enough, their desire and impulse overcame their fear of the Old Village Chief, and they charged towards them once more!

"That's..."

"That young man Elder Ji picked up!"

"Didn't he leave several days ago? Why is he here?"

"Is the beast riot because of him?"

"Did he find some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures causing the beast tide?"

"..."

The villagers at the entrance began whispering as they saw Mu Jinyu emerge from the cave.

The youths who had recently participated in the bloodline testing ceremony but found their bloodlines lacking felt a longing from deep within as soon as Mu Jinyu walked out, wanting to devour him whole!

Their eyes glowed, staring fixedly at Mu Jinyu, barely restraining their bodies' instincts and desires!

At this moment, they felt certain that Mu Jinyu must have acquired some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in that cave, causing the beast disturbances and their own longing!

They looked at Mu Jinyu with glowing eyes, unsure what thoughts were crossing their minds.

"Master..."

Mu Jinyu wasn't aware that others, like the beasts, were also craving him. Though he had retrieved the Dragon Blood flowing outside his body, the aura wouldn't dissipate immediately. So when he walked out of the cave, the once calm beast tide erupted into chaos again.

Hesitating, he ultimately gave up the idea of going out to fight alongside the Old Village Chief to block the beasts!

If he did that, he might not be able to aid the Old Village Chief and could hinder him. It was better to return immediately and continue refining the blood within him. Once the Dragon Blood was tempered out, and he collected it, the beasts would naturally disperse upon losing its signal!

Thinking of this, Mu Jinyu took a deep look at the Old Village Chief's majestic figure striking down beasts with his staff, then withdrew his gaze and walked briskly back into the cave!

Returning to the cave, Mu Jinyu didn't immediately cultivate the Blood Tempering Method. Instead, he quickly set up forbidden formations to isolate the aura of the Dragon Blood that was escaping and to block the beasts' assault altogether, while he still had cultivation left.

Spending a few minutes and using countless rare materials, Mu Jinyu set up three top-grade formations. Then he closed his eyes, starting to practice the "Reversing Tempering Blood Method," expelling the remaining bit of Dragon Blood Origin Root from his body!

"Ugh!!"

A wretched howl of agony resounded in the cave, filled with endless pain and madness!

Meanwhile!

Outside the cave.

The Old Village Chief desperately blocked the raging beast tide!

Inwardly lamenting!

Originally, after Mu Jinyu entered the cave, much of that frenzied aura that drove both humans and beasts crazy had dissipated, no longer emanating from the cave. The crazed beasts, after a bit of agitation, also seemed ready to leave.

However, soon after, a faint yet intense aura emerged from the cave, driving the beast tide insane again, as if none of them were even considering retreating.

Even risking their lives, they just wanted to get near the cave to sniff that aura!

This made the Old Village Chief, who had just relaxed a bit, tense up again, forced to keep fighting these beasts to the death!

After all, the person cultivating inside the cave is the disciple he just accepted!

"Old Lin, we're here to help you!"

At this time, Elder Ji and the others, having learned of the situation, instructed the village's young to stay back while they went to assist the Old Village Chief.

With the elders joining him, the Old Village Chief, who was struggling to fend off the beasts, finally felt some relief!

Inside the cave.

Mu Jinyu continued to accelerate the operation of the "Reversing Tempering Blood Method," with streams of golden blood continuously emerging from his flesh.

Now the Dragon Blood seeping from his body had shifted to a brilliant gold, indicating he had tempered it to the extreme. He was now rummaging through the Dragon Blood Origin Root to completely sever the Dragon Blood within!

"Ah!!"

The pain naturally intensified.

Making Mu Jinyu, who was sitting cross-legged, let out several inhuman screams!

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

And just then, cracking sounds like firecrackers echoed from inside Mu Jinyu's body, his flesh tearing apart and spurting out strands of brilliant Divine Blood!

His Dragon Blood Origin Root had been severed!

From now on, there would be no Dragon Blood within him!

Instantly, Mu Jinyu's Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation momentum collapsed like a falling mountain.

In a flash, he turned into an ordinary person!

"Huff... Huff..."

"Huff..."

Mu Jinyu's body went limp, collapsing into the puddle of golden Dragon Blood beneath him, gasping heavily.

At this moment, his face was deathly pale, without a hint of color, his forehead covered in sweat, his entire being exuding a sense of weakness and deadly aura!

He had narrowly avoided dying from being too hasty in expelling the Dragon Blood using the Reversing Tempering Blood Method!

Thankfully, he ultimately managed to pull through.
