Chapter 130: Chapter 126: Extracting Fire Poison

“You were accidentally injured by an Eighth-Grade Bull Demon, you suffered 600 points of piercing damage, and you triggered a bleeding effect, causing 20 damage per second.”

“You were accidentally injured by a Ninth-Grade Pig Demon, you suffered 100 points of piercing damage, and you triggered a bleeding effect, causing 15 damage per second.”

“You activated Secret Technique—Copper Head Iron Bone, evading 300 points of piercing damage.”

“Due to your Basic Defense, you evaded 183 points of piercing damage.”

“You ultimately endured 117 points of piercing damage.”

——

A string of messages flashed silently, almost mocking this absurd scene.

Wang Wu jumped up, pulling a cow leg with one hand and a pig leg with the other, dragging them back. He was basically unharmed except for a few blood holes of varying sizes on his body, and even the bleeding effect wasn’t a big deal.

These two blockheads must change; it can’t go on like this.

Oh!

Wang Wu’s eyes suddenly lit up as he saw nine Ninth-Grade Spirit Fruits neatly arranged on a stump. Wow, was this left for him?

As expected, Old Niu the blockhead is still worth saving. It’s not bad, carrying a Spirit Fruit Garden with it, comparable to the farming rings in romance novels.

Not bad, not bad, he quickly picked one up and took a bite with a crunch. What cow dung? When you’re starving, that’s nothing!

After he finished three Spirit Fruits in one go, Old Niu finally woke up slowly.

“Third Brother, you finally came back. We’ve been worried sick these days. Unfortunately, Second Brother and I couldn’t climb up, so we could only hope day and night for your safe return. Now that you’re back, everything’s good!”

“Wait, what did you say, Old Niu? How long has it been?”

Wang Wu was stunned.

Old Niu’s standard for him was 3,000 grindings and refinings in a day. Wang Wu knew the situation and thought it must have been over that, but in his heart, he felt it was only about two or three days, not much more. But listening to Old Niu, it seemed like it was much longer.

“Ten days! You were gone for at least ten days. I said, Third Brother, are you sure you didn’t secretly sneak out to cultivate your Ice Spirit Root?”

“No, what would I sneak out for? In ten days, I couldn’t even dig a tunnel to the surface, Old Niu. Are you alright in the head?”

“No issue, no issue, what about you, Third Brother? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine too, but don’t do this next time. I can jump down myself, really no problem. When you two come to catch me, that’s when there’s trouble!”

“Haha, I was reckless this time, won’t happen next time! Speaking of which, Third Brother, your body is really tough, oh man, my head nearly got smashed in by you.”

Old Niu chuckled bitterly, trying to get up, but ended up staggering. The aftermath was quite serious.

As for the Little Wild Boar, it was still bleeding from its seven orifices, unconscious, but it didn’t matter, it would soon wake up from the warmth Old Niu would send over. Just hope it wouldn’t have a psychological shadow…

In any case, after some chaotic tossing about, the three brothers finally gathered alive. It was really difficult.

“It’s my fault, all my fault, I’ll take full responsibility!”

The first thing the Little Wild Boar said was this. Rare indeed, knowing your mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue. Wang Wu felt that this little boar finally showed some teachable potential.

“Don’t worry, Third Brother. Next time I thought we could use our butts to catch you…”

“Stop! Enough! Next time, I’ll jump down myself, and nobody should catch me!”

Wang Wu was on the verge of a breakdown. No way, Little Piggy, don’t force me to roast you!

“Moo moo moo!” Old Niu laughed with primitive cow sounds, its tail wagging high in the air!

And the Little Wild Boar also giggled without a care in the world, these two blockheads!

“Cough cough, by the way, Third Brother, you should eat all the remaining Spirit Fruits, they’re all for you. There won’t be more, just one a day, hope you don’t mind.” Old Niu earnestly said at this time.

“Why would I mind? On the contrary, Old Niu, you seem to have gained quite a lot these days!” Wang Wu laughed, not to mention anything else, Old Niu now looked skinny, but his energy level was noticeably different, his fur gleaming like black satin, looking radiant.

“Moo moo, Third Brother, you have a good eye! Indeed, thanks to your blessing, I upgraded the Companion Ninth-Grade Spirit Vine to Eighth-Grade in just ten days. I feel like raising it to Seventh-Grade by winter is no pressure at all!”

When Old Niu talked about this, he couldn’t help but become excited, almost looking like he was about to take off with two wings.

“Yes yes, there’s me, there’s me too, Third Brother, you’d never guess. This place is really a treasure trove, I also gained massively in these ten days. I think I’m soon advancing to Eighth Grade. Um, by the way, you’ll still have to call me Second Brother Pig in the future. Don’t worry, I’ve got your back, hahaha!”

The Little Wild Boar couldn’t help but boast, its tail wagging, ears twitching upwards; it wouldn’t need wings, it could fly on its own.

So have you found the wind?

“Congratulations to both of you! Old Niu, Little Pig, what a pity there’s no wine, or we’d have a toast!” Wang Wu sincerely congratulated, to be honest, their perseverance in cultivation had always been a major motivation for him!

“No wine, just use Spirit Fruits!”

The Little Wild Boar cheekily suggested, having already set its eyes on those Spirit Fruits.

But in the next second, it got kicked aside by Old Niu’s hoof, “Second Brother, enough! Third Brother is refining Profound Iron, consuming the most Qi Blood, you can’t touch these Spirit Fruits. By the way, how’s your refining going, Third Brother?”

“Three thousand times, I’ve completed it.” Wang Wu said with some emotion, thinking back on the hardships he endured these past ten days, it made him sigh.

“Is it three thousand times in ten days, or three thousand times every day?” the Little Wild Boar asked curiously, with a rather peculiar look in his eyes.

“It’s three thousand times in ten days. Anyway, I don’t remember the time,” Wang Wu answered truthfully.

Then the Little Wild Boar started squealing, clutching his belly and laughing so hard that tears came out. “What’s going on? Why are you acting like a crazy pig again?”

Old Niu seemed a bit stunned for a moment, then he laughed with a low moo, “No worries, Third Brother, it’s really good, very impressive. Keep working hard, next time we won’t rush, let’s take it slow.”

The Little Wild Boar also got up, shaking his gigantic head, putting his tiny pig feet behind his back, and waggling his little tail. He started pacing around like an old scholar, even changing his tone to a more serious one.

“Right, right, Third Brother, the path of cultivation is indeed this tough. You must persevere, not fear hardships, nor rain, snow, or windstorms. Big Brother and I are waiting for you ahead, we won’t leave you behind, keep going! You’re still young, you have the advantage!”

“Huh?”

Wang Wu was stunned. “What do you mean? Why can’t I understand you? Or have you misunderstood something?”

I refined the Profound Iron three thousand times in ten days, and the effect was remarkable.

“Come, come, come, Third Brother, you should rest first. After you heal your wounds, it’s not too late to refine the Profound Iron again.”

After saying that, Old Niu and the Little Wild Boar each left, busy with their cultivation. Their earnest attitude made Wang Wu feel slightly ashamed; he realized he wasn’t working hard enough.

At once, he quickly devoured the remaining six spirit fruits, and his Satiety shot right up to 5,000+. Meanwhile, the Spiritual Qi stored within him successfully broke through to 4,100 points.

Of that, 500 points were stored by himself.

The remaining 3,600 points came from the nine spirit fruits.

Each spirit fruit provided an average of 400 points of Spiritual Qi.

This amount was far less than natural spirit fruits. A natural Ninth-Grade Spirit Fruit could easily yield 800 points of Spiritual Qi.

But it’s necessary to consider that Old Niu’s secret technique is almost equivalent to artificial cultivation.

Moreover, Old Niu also has super-grade Tree Heart Wood Shavings as a raw material supply, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to provide spirit fruits.

So, it’s already fantastic.

The key is to be content.

However, with 4,100 points of Spiritual Qi, he can do something.

Wang Wu opened the attribute bar, and Life Value, Physical Strength, Basic Power, Basic Agility, and Basic Defense, most attributes, could be enhanced.

“If I add 1 point of Power, will I gain a bloodline secret technique similar to Copper Head Iron Bone?”

Wang Wu felt a bit tempted.

But he carefully recalled the situation when he obtained the Copper Head Iron Bone secret technique and hesitated slightly because there was another prerequisite: the Bloodline Evolution Level.

If it’s feasible, it’s obviously a good thing.

But what if it requires a 40% Bloodline Evolution Level?

Or, more demanding, what if such bloodline secret techniques must meet the prerequisite of being Full of Energy and can only be obtained with free attribute points?

He was currently at a deficit.

So he couldn’t take the risk.

Wang Wu’s gaze ran down the lines, and when it landed on Copper Head Iron Bone, he sighed with regret, as expected, 4,100 points of Spiritual Qi weren’t enough to upgrade it further, so it seemed it probably required 5,000 points of Spiritual Qi.

Then, at this moment, the most cost-effective upgrade is to extract branch Bloodline Talent.

Yes, he previously had the option to extract Negative Resistance once, but the timing wasn’t right.

Because extracting Negative Resistance requires consuming Spiritual Qi, the more Spiritual Qi, the smoother the extraction process, and the better the effect, although this cannot be seen from the attribute bar, Wang Wu’s own feelings wouldn’t deceive him.

It’s like tuning a car’s chassis; the support of world-class technology is definitely not the same as the technology at a roadside repair shop.

Especially since this is like a fusion surgery on the bloodline’s genetic level.

If you want the foreign resistance genes to perfectly merge into your bloodline without too many side effects, then, sorry, it requires enough Spiritual Qi.

“4,100 points should be enough, it’s just a pity that once extracted, it cannot be added again; otherwise, I wouldn’t have to wait so long.”

Wang Wu thought for a moment, then closed the attribute bar.

He closed his eyes and calmed his mind for a while, and with a slight movement of his heart, a perfect Tier Two Fire Poison Resistance was drawn out. Compared to the previous two extractions, he could now operate even more skillfully, without needing the attribute bar to extract indirectly.

Moreover, he also had a deeper understanding of the essential change in this extraction.

At this moment, an extremely fiery, extremely venomous, and disintegrating power suddenly emerged.

Even though Wang Wu had achieved perfect resistance, he still felt apprehensive.

Because this thing could really explode!
