Chapter 187: Chapter 94: Regaining Demon Blood, Commanding Wind and Rain

"When that child is born, your wife will go out to earn more money for you." Tian Yuan showed a delighted smile, as this was her way of finding self-worth.

After speaking, she stood on tiptoe to tidy her man’s clothes and said, "I’ve prepared backup clothes for you, no one will know. You... should eat before you go."

...

...

After the meal, Li Xuan skillfully left Xiongshan County and stopped for a moment in the deep mountains behind Chaotic Crow Ridge to the north.

He glanced at his own blood slots.

He had a new test to conduct today.

With a thought.

He injected the remnants of the [Black Mountain Tuo] demon blood into the second slot.

His body began to transform at once.

First, his skin became coarse all over, then there was an itching at the base of his spine, where his vertebra extended downward, forming a dragon’s tail that just dragged on the ground.

Fortunately, his mouth didn’t transform into that of a dragon.

’Summon wind.’

Li Xuan applied the demon technique, waving his hands, his form turning, and in this shaman-like movement, the airflow began to grow violent due to the demon technique, with the east wind suddenly becoming west wind.

The originally gentle wind suddenly grew stronger.

Sand swirled on the ground, and the plants slightly bowed.

Li Xuan stopped the motion, and soon the west wind ceased, reverting to the east wind.

Li Xuan propped his chin as he pondered for a moment.

Though this [Summon Wind] seemed useless, it was only due to the current effect not being impressive. If his Spirit Attribute could catch up, then if this demon technique were further enhanced, wouldn’t it unmistakably cause natural disasters?

With another thought.

He injected the [Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat] demon blood into the first slot.

In an instant, his physique changed from "109" to "109+82".

It seemed he had broken through something again.

Although he didn’t reach the "Third Realm" from the "Second Realm", a new transformation began.

With Li Xuan’s exertion, his form rapidly grew taller to about thirteen feet.

His skin was pushed up by terrifying muscles, with powerful blood energy circulating within.

The black flesh armor formed again, but this time... the gaps between the flesh armor were completely gone.

The toxic searing aura previously flowing through the gaps disappeared, replaced by an entirely seamless flesh armor.

The black flesh armor began to redden, swell, and become bloated.

The high temperature caused the air around Li Xuan to completely distort, even misting with heat.

From the outside, Li Xuan now appeared as a red-black armored monster with a tail, and his facial appearance was completely obscured, with fiery flows under the deep sheen of his skin, emanating a dark and dangerous red glow.

Li Xuan thought for a moment and simply injected the [Mist Lurking Leopard] demon blood into the third slot.

Instantly, his agility attribute changed from "46" to "56".

He vaguely felt that his bloated body slimmed down a bit.

’Sure enough, the imbalance in attributes caused this grotesque appearance.’

Li Xuan wasn’t afraid of being grotesque, he was a bit concerned it might affect his combat performance.

After pondering for a while, he continued to test.

"Hoo~~"

Relaxing his body, he breathed out a scorching hot stream, reverting to a "half-Tuo" state.

Li Xuan glanced at his panel information. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Lines of blue text were emerging.

[You have injected two types of similar demon blood (Physique): "Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat", "Black Mountain Tuo", triggering enhanced effects!]

[The first slot contains the demon blood "Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat", its Demon Skill ’Worshipers’ Divine Realm’ has enhanced!]

[Removing demon blood does not require waiting. With three blood slots, changing the demon blood requires two hours. The current changing time countdown: 239:59]

He ran to a tree, took out incense, and lit it.

Then he began testing how this ’Worshipers’ Divine Realm’ had improved.

He tested for a long time until he finally figured out the path.

When the first slot was occupied by [Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat] and the second by [Black Mountain Tuo], the [Worshipers’ Divine Realm] got fortified, and his wish to "summon wind and rain" could now be fulfilled.

Before, making such a wish was completely ineffective.

When he wished for it, the Incense Fire Divine Realm simply didn’t respond to him.

But now it could.

This made Li Xuan unintentionally think of scenes from strange stories about a Daoist performing rituals to pray for rain.

Amid thick incense, the Daoist brandishing his sword, stepping forward, and praying to the heavens for rain...

The scene wasn’t that different from his own.

Even though he wasn’t in the guise of a Daoist right now.

Li Xuan quietly waited for the "countdown" of two hours to end.

After the countdown finished, he reversed the positions of [Black Mountain Tuo] and [Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat] to investigate the enhancement of the demon skill [Summon Wind].

An interesting outcome occurred, the enhancement of [Summon Wind] was in making a wish for [Summon Wind and Rain] when the incense was lit...

After all the hustle, the day turned towards dusk.

Although the area was tossed around by Li Xuan, with rain one moment and wind the next, and the sunset vanishing, the darkening sky was still discernible.

Li Xuan quickly retracted the demon blood and soared away like a rainbow.

Tomorrow, he intended to continue catching the dragon, and see if he could find some information about the "Black Mountain Tuo".

He instinctively felt that the "Black Mountain Tuo" might very well be the demon that caused the flood two years ago.

But the problem is...

The flood was two years ago, and there hasn’t been one since, which arguably means the demon that caused the flood should have left.

But, why do dragon creatures with "Black Mountain Tuo" blood still appear in the Qing River?

For example, with the previous plague, had Li Xuan not seen that red shadow or known the power of the "Tiger Demon Tai Sui", he would have instinctively thought that the "Tiger Demon Tai Sui" caused the plague, but that wasn’t the case.
