"Mm!"

Mu Jinyu smiled at the Old Village Chief, then tilted his head back and drank the bowl of Monster Race Remnant Soup.

The glimmering sunset vanished into Mu Jinyu's mouth. After consuming the soup, Mu Jinyu's qi and blood immediately reached a critical point, like a straight column of wolf smoke soaring into the sky, or a suppressed volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

Mu Jinyu restrained his urge to break through the bottleneck and said to the Old Village Chief, "Master, I'm heading back now..."

"Mm, get some rest early..." the Old Village Chief nodded, saying.

Mu Jinyu put down the bowl and glanced around at the crowd, only bidding farewell to Elder Ji and a few others, then headed back to his hut.

Quickly, Mu Jinyu returned to his hut.

Simultaneously, the sense of breaking through the bottleneck after consuming the bowl of Monster Race Remnant Tonic was finally unstoppable. He closed the door and sat down cross-legged.

Once seated, he closed his eyes tightly and activated the Blood Tempering Method to digest the surging essence qi within, refining it into his own qi and blood power.

Soon, as Mu Jinyu transformed the abundant essence qi within him into qi and blood power, his whole body swelled up, instantly becoming a big fat man!

His face turned a flushed purplish-black!

He almost suffocated from being unable to breathe!

"Whew!"

With his internal qi and blood power reaching its peak, almost bursting his body, only then did Mu Jinyu calmly activate the second change of the Blood Tempering Method, beginning to temper this qi and blood power, transforming it into blood essence!

"Boom boom boom!!"

Thick blood essence, like blood jade, was produced drop by drop within Mu Jinyu's body. Each drop contained an endless vitality and a terrifying destructive power!

Currently, Mu Jinyu's cultivation wasn't very high. This one drop of blood essence might only kill a few at the Divinity Transformation Realm, but when his strength increased in the future, he could suppress a giant dragon with just one drop!

As the blood essence accumulated drop by drop, Mu Jinyu's plump and inflated body finally returned to its original shape, albeit slightly leaner.

But his aura was back to its original Divinity Transformation Realm aura!

Indeed, Mu Jinyu, after discarding his old cultivation body and starting anew, in just over half a day, raised his cultivation from an ordinary person to the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Of course, this was also related to Mu Jinyu's previous cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, which made his internal qi and blood power sufficiently abundant. Otherwise, there's no way he could have quickly broken through to Divinity Transformation Realm via the Humanity Path Cultivation Method.

And as he refined the qi and blood power, transforming it into blood essence, most of his accumulation was exhausted.

Moving forward, he wouldn't be able to advance his cultivation so rapidly anymore.

Nonetheless, Mu Jinyu, now officially cultivating the Blood Tempering Method, was confident that his cultivation would advance swiftly, at least not slower than if he had maintained his True Yuan cultivation advancement!

"Crackle!"

"Crack..."

Mu Jinyu opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, then lightly twisted his body, producing a series of crisp sounds like firecrackers.

Afterwards, he twisted his neck a few times, making crackling sounds, then stood up and moved around a bit.

"Not bad, but if cultivating the Blood Tempering Method, you need a continuous intake of meat to replenish qi and blood power, so I can't stay long in this Xiaolin Village!"

Mu Jinyu thought quietly to himself.

If he wished to advance his cultivation, he needed to keep consuming blood meals. Staying in this small village, indeed, could not allow him the fastest route to enhancing his cultivation.

The best way was still to search the deep mountain forests for those top-grade fierce beasts, or to find those demon beasts, or even those great demons that have transformed into the Demon Race!

Only by consuming them could he likely make his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds!

With this in mind, Mu Jinyu suddenly understood why the earliest of the Human Race once dominated the ten thousand clans, viewing the Demon Race, Divine Race, and Devil Clan, the Ten Great Strong Races, as prey!

Perhaps back when the cultivation environment in the Canglan Realm hadn't changed, there were many pursuing the Humanity Path Cultivation Path to enhance their power?

At that time, the Humanity Path Cultivation Path might also not be able to reach the end of cultivation alone, but gaining more strength, others wouldn't mind either.

Later, when the cultivation path of nature's spiritual energy was cut off, relying solely on the Humanity Path Cultivation Path made it hard to reach the end, gradually leading the once powerful Human Race to their current miserable state!

"Forget it, no need to think about it too much. Anyway, now, if I can enhance my cultivation, I will. I'll think about the road ahead later..."

Mu Jinyu gently shook his head, brushing aside the broken Humanity Path Cultivation Path problem!

Then, Mu Jinyu spent the entire day digesting qi and blood into blood essence. Although now his internal qi and blood surged, full of essence qi, he still felt mentally exhausted, so he lay on the hard plank bed, ready to sleep.

He decided to first help the small village hunt enough fierce beast meat tomorrow, about enough for them to eat for one or two months, barely repaying a bit of his debt, then leave the small village to tread the path he must go!

Mentally exhausted, Mu Jinyu quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"Tap tap tap..."

Half-awake, Mu Jinyu heard footsteps approaching. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the person entering his hut.

"Little Yun?" Mu Jinyu called out casually.

He thought the visitor was Ji Xiaoyun because Ji Xiaoyun often visited his room, sometimes unable to sleep in the middle of the night, sometimes waking up early to call him.

The visitor didn't speak.

The footsteps quickened.

Mu Jinyu's eyes narrowed, instantly snapping from his half-asleep state.

He knew it wasn't Ji Xiaoyun!

Not only was there no response, but the person also accelerated toward him.

Because he sensed the visitor's aura was completely different from Ji Xiaoyun's!

The visitor was...

Li Hu's father!

Old Li!

"Die!"

In the darkness, a flash of white light suddenly gleamed.

A sharp dagger aimed fiercely at Mu Jinyu's neck!

In one strike, intending to kill Mu Jinyu outright!

With a full-force strike from a peak Energy Transformation expert!

If Mu Jinyu hadn't consumed that bowl of Monster Race Remnant Soup earlier tonight, breaking through his cultivation to Divinity Transformation Realm, he might indeed have been ambushed!

"Ha!"

Mu Jinyu let out an angry shout, abruptly raising a fist to punch forward!

"Bang!!"

"Clang!!"

His fist collided with the dagger, producing a crisp clanging sound. The dagger immediately shattered into pieces, swept along by a torrent of qi and blood in a violent surge!

"Screech!"

"Ah!!"

Old Li let out a shrill, miserable scream, quickly cut short.

"Bang!"

A heavy bashing sound occurred, with Old Li falling heavily backward, soundless.

Looking down, Mu Jinyu saw that his face was covered in dagger fragments, with the fatal wound being a dagger piece embedded in his carotid artery.

Thick blood puddled the ground, a pungent bloody smell filling the air!

"What the hell is this? Just because of drinking a bowl of meat soup, you try to kill me? Are you insane?!"

Mu Jinyu looking at Old Li's corpse on the ground, with eyes wide open in anger, cursed furiously in disbelief.
