Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife - Chapter 685: Growth and Breakthrough (2)

This girl was dishonest, which he understood very well. After all, she was twelve years old and was about to reach puberty. She did not want to hunt demons step by step. However, Shen Ping pulled a long face. “No, if Lieutenant Lei finds out later, we won’t be able to hunt demons together in the future.”

Lian Nishang immediately pouted and said unhappily, “Brother Shen, why are you as rigid as Lieutenant Lei? Can’t we just go secretly?” Tsk. In the past, she thought that Brother Shen was so good, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a rigid person.

“No.”

“Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Lian Nishang returned to the courtyard angrily and sulked. She did not speak to Shen Ping for two whole days.

Shen Ping didn’t mind. At night, he secretly restrained his aura and left Ji Town. He used the lightning escape technique created by his bloodline power and arrived at the entrance of the col in five minutes.

He entered the cave deep in the col. Relying on his powerful bloodline power, he sniffed the stench in the air and quickly advanced through the forks. Yan Jin and the other old members did not lock onto the wolf demon with the demon chasing powder, but he had the cultivation of memory, so it was easy for him to track it.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the deepest part of the col. The wolf demon leader was soaking in a pool of blood. The remaining three wolf demons guarded the three forks. The wolf demon’s aura kept increasing. It was obvious that it wanted to increase its strength.

“It’s actually earth blood. No wonder a small forest can give birth to twelve awakened wolf demons!” Shen Ping smiled.

Earth blood was considered one of the heavenly treasures. It was much stronger than the White Head Fruit. Ordinary people had a high chance of awakening special bloodlines after soaking in it, not bloodlines like strength, agility, and so on.

A few lightning balls were thrown out. The wolf demon minions were killed before they could even resist. The wolf demon leader was vigilant, but facing Shen Ping, who was almost at Rank 5, it quickly became a corpse under the saber. After dealing with the wolf demon’s corpse, he walked straight into the blood on the ground.

Dense bloodline power corroded Shen Ping’s body from all directions. He closed his eyes and felt it for a while. He opened his eyes and shook his head. “It’s just ordinary blood. At most, it can be upgraded to Rank 3. Although it’s very valuable to sell, it’s nothing to me.”

His body sank. Shen Ping searched in the blood pool on the ground. Soon, he found a place that looked like a spring. He dug open the spring and continued to dive deeper along the narrow passage of the spring. The deeper he went, the stronger the power of his bloodline. He kept digging and diving. About a thousand feet away, he saw a demonic blood-red lotus. “It really is the Earth Blood Lotus. Five lotus leaves, medium quality, not bad!”

He put away the Earth Blood Lotus and then carefully sensed his surroundings. Unfortunately, there was nothing else. Of course, Shen Ping knew that his strength was too low. If he had the strength before he reincarnated, he could rely on his huge divine sense to trace the origin of the Earth Blood Lotus to see what energy nurtured the Earth Blood Lotus.

He returned to the town courtyard. Yan Jin and the others were already sound asleep. They did not know that the wolf demon leader and the rest had been killed by Shen Ping.

Inside the house, Shen Ping plucked a blood-colored lotus leaf and swallowed it. The energy hidden in the depths of his bloodline surged, and waves of powerful bloodline power continuously rose, nourishing his limbs and bones. “I’m actually about to break through!”

Although he had already seen the effects of the Earth Blood Lotus in the Scripture Depository, he still did not expect that just one lotus leaf would give him signs of a breakthrough. He immediately calmed down. He absorbed and circulated according to the Lifeline Technique. After a few hours, the surging bloodline power gradually calmed down, and he successfully broke through to Rank 5.

Rank 5 bloodline awakeners could already fly in the air, but they could only fly at a low altitude and could not maintain it for long. Only when they reached the Star Rank could they truly fly in the air.

He restrained his aura. Shen Ping got up and walked out of the house. For other Bloodline Awakeners, breaking through to Rank 5 was a joyous matter. This was because Rank 5 was not a small threshold for Bloodline Awakeners. More than 70% of them could not cross it. Moreover, once one reached Rank 5, they could become a general and guard a prefecture city.

However, Shen Ping’s expression was calm. There was no trace of emotion on his face. He had reincarnated into this world to search for opportunities, not to improve himself.

“The Earth Blood Lotus is considered a low-grade heavenly treasure in this world. The Blood Spirit Ginseng and the Earth Dragon Crystal are only considered mid-grade. The real opportunity should be at least a high-grade heavenly treasure.”

Their bloodline contained the power of the five elements. Even the bloodline systems of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and other races could not do it. They had to rely on cultivation to obtain magical power in this aspect. Therefore, he guessed that the bloodline of this world should be the same as the bloodline of the strange beast. They were both derived from the laws of heaven and earth. “Brother Shen, where are we going today?” As soon as he reached the door of Lian Nishang’s house, the latter walked out quickly and pulled Shen Ping.

“Not mad at me anymore?”

“How can Nishang be angry with Brother Shen?” Lian Nishang said charmingly.

Shen Ping secretly rolled his eyes, but he didn’t argue with her. In his opinion, Lian Nishang was just a little girl. It was very normal for her to have a little temper. This was a girl. “We’ve seen all the places in town that we can play. There’s nothing to see.”

“Let’s do it again.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

For more than ten days, Shen Ping accompanied Liu Nishang every day, but the wolf demon was still nowhere to be seen. The peripheral members at the entrance of the col kept reporting.

Yan Jin frowned and said, “Forget it. This wolf demon probably won’t come out for a while. Let Ji Town keep an eye on it. Let’s go back first.”

They were not worried that the mission would fail. After all, they had already killed eight wolf demons. It was enough to submit the mission. Although Lian Nishang wanted to continue staying here to kill demons, she could only listen to orders.

With the experience of hunting demons in Ji Town and the fact that Shen Ping and Lian Nishang did not act recklessly, Lieutenant Lei constantly arranged for the two of them to follow the old members out to hunt demons. With the two of them at Rank 3, most of the missions were easily resolved because Li County was not a prefecture city. There were very few Rank 3 demons in the area under their jurisdiction. Even if there were, there were only two or three occasionally. Basically, Lieutenant Lei would take action.

After two years of growth, Lian Nishang became more and more proficient in hunting demons. Sometimes, she could even hold her own. In the past two years, she had grown from a little girl next door to a famous demon hunter in the Demon Suppression Division.

“That’s great! Brother Shen, Lieutenant Lei has finally agreed to let us go hunt demons alone for missions!”

In the courtyard of the Demon Suppression Division, Shen Ping’s gaze fell on the swaying curves of Lian Nishang’s chest, who was jumping up and down happily. He could not help but sigh. “This girl has finally grown up..”
