Chapter 70

Ye Jun Tian's stomach trembled, and a surge of yellow blood energy rose. Ye Jun Tian felt an unprecedented intense pain, which startled him. When he calmed down and looked, he found that the black hole in his stomach had undergone another mutation. The explosion of yellow blood energy had expanded the 'black hole' significantly, from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a soybean. Moreover, the speed of refining, converting, and extracting blood energy had doubled. The space had also expanded, doubling the amount of blood energy it could store. The heart no longer stored blood energy; it was merely a control center for blood energy. When Ye Jun Tian activated the positive and negative airflow, it indeed worked as expected. The absorption speed had more than doubled. This unprecedented absorption speed would even amaze peak Human Martial Realm experts. It felt as if all the body's pores had suddenly opened, and the surrounding elemental energy was rushing into Ye Jun Tian. This situation caused the air around the thatched cottage to flow more intensely, spreading out. Soon, a whirlwind centered on Ye Jun Tian formed around the thatched cottage. The flowers around the cottage were trembling slightly. Ye Jun Tian's body was like an extremely hungry and thirsty child, greedily absorbing the elemental energy. Soon, the pollen from the flowers around the thatched cottage was completely absorbed, leaving only withered flowers. "Sigh, your absorption ability is almost on par with a First Rank Earth Martial expert. No wonder your cultivation speed is so fast. With this unprecedented absorption speed, your cultivation progress will definitely be two to three times faster than others," Bai Fang sighed, shaking his head as he came out of his shock. "Unfortunately, there's no more pollen to absorb," Ye Jun Tian said regretfully, noticing that the yellow particles in the blood energy emitted by the black hole had increased, and the black hole was already full of blood energy. "Actually, you don't necessarily need this specific pollen. You can absorb and cultivate from any pollen in the world. However, the pollen from the Flower Prison is of the highest quality. This is because the Flower Prison specializes in flower cultivation, a unique technique they created. Of course, what they cultivate is still blood energy, but it is of a higher quality than that cultivated by ordinary bloodline practitioners. Therefore, you still need to visit the Flower Prison," Bai Fang said. "Hehe, that's for later," Ye Jun Tian was not fooled. "Here, take these," Bai Fang pulled out a scroll and a box from under the bed. Ye Jun Tian found that the scroll was the 'Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance' light body technique, and the box contained the heart of the Eighth Treasure Scale Snake. However, the heart was not large, about the size of an egg. But Ye Jun Tian could feel the terrifying blood energy emanating from it. "It's indeed small, but the Eighth Treasure Scale Snake itself is not large. However, a dozen-meter-long python would have to lie on the ground and let it suck it dry," Bai Fang explained. "I understand," Ye Jun Tian nodded. "Hahaha, Bai Fang, you're still alive after all these years. Good, good, good, the heavens have been kind to me, Fang Jun Shui. To find you, I can finally return home," a sinister voice laughed maniacally. With the voice, a surge of energy rolled over, causing the thatched cottage to tremble. Bai Yi let out a fierce tiger roar and pounced. "Young Master, take Yi Yi and go. Fang Jun Shui is a Fourth Rank Earth Martial expert; you can't fight him. Quickly call back the White Tiger; it's no match for him," Bai Fang urged, his body flickering as he leaped out. Bang... "Beast!" came Fang Jun Shui's cold snort, and the White Tiger was sent flying back into the thatched cottage by a palm strike, its back injured. Bai Yi roared in anger, the mountains and forests shaking. A surge of tiger blood energy rose from his head, stretching and contracting in the air, ready to pounce. Another loud bang, and Bai Fang was struck by a blood energy palm, thrown to the ground, creating a large crater. "Quick, go!" Bai Fang, undaunted by death, jumped up again, spitting blood as he pounced onto a giant tree a hundred meters away. On a branch stood a thin-faced old man in a green robe; he was Fang Jun Shui. Ye Jun Tian's broken spear flew out of his hand, but the green-robed man only sneered. With a flick of his finger, the broken spear was deflected back, cutting a bloody gash on Ye Jun Tian's arm. Ye Jun Tian was slammed into the thatched cottage by the blood energy, spitting out a mouthful of blood. That guy was incredibly powerful. Ye Jun Tian no longer hesitated, grabbing Bai Yi Yi, who was trying to fight, and jumping onto the tiger's back. "Run!" Ye Jun Tian threw a first-stage blood replenishing pill to Bai Yi and shouted. "You still want to run? There's no escape!" The green-robed man's body flickered like a ghost, suddenly twisting and landing in front of the White Tiger. "This is the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance, run!" Bai Fang, covered in blood, pounced and struck the tiger with a palm. Bai Yi felt a powerful force push him, and the tiger soared into the air, reaching dozens of meters high. The green-robed man was about to turn again, but Bai Fang had already clung to him. With a loud bang, a terrifying blood light flashed. Blood mist surged, and blood energy rose to a hundred meters high. The thatched cottage was completely demolished, and debris, including broken stones and mud, spread over a hundred meters. "Nanny..." Bai Yi Yi's mournful cry echoed through Thousand Rivers City. Bai Fang had chosen to self-destruct her 'heart' bloodline. As a result, the powerful blood energy immediately knocked Fang Jun Shui back a mile, injuring him. Ye Jun Tian didn't stay any longer; the White Tiger ran out with a roar. Soon, they were several miles away, but a green shadow was still chasing them. That guy hadn't been killed by the explosion. Fortunately, Bai Fang's self-destruction had delayed him for a while; otherwise, Ye Jun Tian would have had no chance of survival. Bai Yi Yi's eyes were dry, but blood flowed from them. She was silent, tightly hugging Ye Jun Tian's waist to avoid falling off the tiger's back. The city guards were kicked down by Bai Yi before they could react, and he ran away. Fang Jun Shui pursued closely, and with the help of the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance, he was much faster than Bai Yi. Just as he was about to catch up, a blood energy palm struck from the city gate. "Who dares to cause trouble in Thousand Rivers City!" a stern voice called out, and Fang Jun Shui, eyes blazing, had to clash with the palm force from the city gate. A muffled sound came from the tower, and the man seemed to be knocked down. "Fire!" another voice called from the city gate, and dozens of terrifying arrows shot at Fang Jun Shui. Although Fang Jun Shui was powerful, the Iron Armor Corps guarding Thousand Rivers City were not to be underestimated. These men were well-trained, and the specially made arrows, when shot by Human Martial Realm experts, were incredibly powerful. The wave of arrows surged like a tide, one row after another, causing the air at the city gate to explode, scaring the city guards and civilians into fleeing. In an instant, only Fang Jun Shui was left at the city gate. For a moment, he had to use a metal staff-like weapon to protect himself, the clanging of metal continuous. He was indeed formidable. Soon, he managed to escape the range of the arrows. However, Ye Jun Tian was already over ten miles away, out of sight. Fang Jun Shui, enraged, gritted his teeth. But because there was still residual pollen in Ye Jun Tian's body, Fang Jun Shui took out a disk-like device to measure and began to chase in a specific direction. This special device from the Flower Prison could detect pollen within a fifty-mile range; beyond that, it was useless. "Not good, he's still chasing us, about twenty miles away," Bai Yi Yi said anxiously from his back.
