I Can Strengthen Everything

Based on his experience enhancing so many items, the more Enhancement Points required, the higher its value.

This Treasure Blood was definitely no ordinary blood.

Ten thousand Enhancement Points was comparable to what he needed to enhance a Demon and Monster Core.

The thought flashed past, and Fang Xing calmly walked up to the box and picked up the Blood-colored Jade Pendant.

"Steward Liu, I quite like this. I’ll take it as well."

Upon hearing this, Steward Liu smiled and nodded. "If Lord Fang has taken a liking to it, that’s no problem at all. Does this jade need to be packaged as well?"

Fang Xing shook his head. "No need. It looks nice, so I’ll wear it myself."

Steward Liu nodded.

Beside him, Shen Ye glanced over but said nothing.

Soon, the items were packaged.

The two paid and left.

In total, it cost Thirty Thousand Taels of Silver.

The price was high, but given their status and power, a few tens of thousands of taels of silver was nothing to them.

...

Back at the Observatory, Shen Ye looked at Fang Xing. "Don’t go running around for the next few days. When the time comes, we’ll go with Uncle Qing to see the Commander."

Fang Xing nodded, and Shen Ye left shortly after.

Watching Shen Ye leave, Fang Xing turned and stepped into his courtyard residence.

After entering the room, Fang Xing closed the door, set the other gifts aside, and took out the Blood-colored Jade Pendant.

’Essence of Treasure Blood...’

Looking at the Blood Jade pendant, Fang Xing examined it closely. He couldn’t seem to see any Treasure Blood.

There was no liquid contained within the jade pendant.

After a moment of thought, he took out his Demon Suppression Treasure Saber and gently scraped the tip of the blade against the jade pendant.

The Demon Suppression Treasure Saber could cut through gold and sever jade with ease.

With his careful cutting, the fine piece of Blood Jade was soon reduced to powder.

Staring intently at the last small piece of Blood Jade, he faintly saw what looked like a liquid.

It was a red liquid, completely fused with the Blood Jade. Without careful inspection, it was impossible to notice.

He couldn’t even sense any special aura from it.

Fang Xing continued to cut carefully, and finally, the drop of Treasure Blood was revealed.

Enveloped in True Qi, this drop of Treasure Blood looked utterly unremarkable.

It didn’t even have a special aura.

As Fang Xing stared at it, the enhancement prompt soon appeared before his eyes.

[A drop of Treasure Blood Essence. Requires 10,000 Enhancement Points.]

’Just as I thought...’

Fang Xing stared at the drop of Treasure Blood, his eyes glinting.

’Ten thousand Enhancement Points... I wonder if this will be a loss.’ Fang Xing hesitated.

He still had a fair amount of Enhancement Points left.

But he couldn’t just squander them wantonly.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Xing decided to give it a try after all.

His intuition told him it wouldn’t be a loss.

Even if the enhancement yielded nothing, he could always just earn more points later.

With a mere thought, a crimson light instantly enveloped the drop of Treasure Blood.

Fang Xing’s heart leaped into his throat.

A moment later, the crimson light dissipated.

A drop of pale gold blood appeared before his eyes, suspended in the air and enveloped by True Qi.

[One drop of Treasure Blood Essence has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained one drop of Qilin True Origin.]

"Qilin True Origin?"

Staring at the drop of pale gold blood, Fang Xing was slightly stunned.

Gazing at the drop of Qilin True Origin, he could faintly make out a minuscule phantom roaring within it.

’Qilin True Origin... This has to be considered a Divine Object, right?’

Fang Xing blinked.

Looking at the drop of Qilin True Origin, he felt a strong urge to swallow it.

His intuition told him that it would probably be of great benefit to his body.

’I’ve already spent ten thousand Enhancement Points. I can’t let it go to waste.’

Taking a deep breath, Fang Xing chose to trust his intuition and swallowed it in one gulp.

’It’s just one drop of Qilin True Origin. Even if there’s a problem, surely I can handle a single drop?’

’Otherwise, wouldn’t all my years of Cultivation have been for nothing?’

After swallowing the drop of Qilin True Origin, Fang Xing blinked.

’Why is nothing happening?’

’Shouldn’t there be some grand phenomenon, like flowers raining from the heavens or golden lotuses sprouting from the earth?’

’Why... does it feel like absolutely nothing happened?’

"ROAR—!!!"

Just as Fang Xing was feeling puzzled, a roar suddenly exploded.

The roar resounded in his mind, powerful enough to shake the heavens.

Within his mind, a heaven-shaking behemoth seemed to appear—a golden Qilin, its feet treading upon the Void between heaven and earth.

"BUZZ—!!!"

In that very instant, Fang Xing immediately felt a change in his body.

A scorching power swept through his entire body.

This scorching power integrated into his flesh and blood, his muscles and bones, sinking deep into his very marrow.

The feeling of being thrown into a furnace and burned swept over his entire body.

"Haa... haa..."

The scorching power rampaged through him; he felt as if he were on fire from the inside, his very organs burning to ash.

He had always been the one using the Red Fire Divine Skill to burn others; now, for the first time, he fully experienced the agony of being burned himself.

This sensation... it felt as if his body was being burned through.

Sweat poured from his forehead.

Fang Xing tried to circulate his energy to absorb the scorching power, but there was no response whatsoever.

The scorching power seemed to have already fused with his flesh, blood, muscles, and bones.

Fang Xing gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling. Veins bulged on his forehead as sweat dripped down.

’Is the power of a single drop of Qilin True Origin really this immense...?’

Fang Xing cursed inwardly.

But as agonizing as it was, he could feel his body undergoing some kind of enhancement.

It was like the sublimation of his very being that accompanied a breakthrough in cultivation.

Except, it lacked the pleasant sensation of a breakthrough. There was only the intense burning!

Agony was agony, but his intuition had been right—the drop of Qilin True Origin was reforging his body.

As for the pain, there was nothing for it but to grit his teeth and endure.

Still, he couldn’t stop a low, beast-like growl from escaping his throat.

Time passed, second by second, minute by minute.

Fang Xing had no idea how much time had passed, only that the sky had already grown dark.
