Chapter 1174: 527: Amazing treasure! Huge harvest!

A two thousand three hundred-pound stone bar, Lanling can lift it, but it’s already extremely strenuous.

Suo Mo hesitated slightly and added a hundred-pound dead wood to the two thousand three hundred-pound stone bar, making it two thousand four hundred pounds.

Lanling suddenly gritted his teeth and let out a determined shout.

He still lifted it, two thousand four hundred pounds. But it had completely reached the limit, feeling as if his bloodline was about to break.

Lanling’s final cultivation level had emerged!

Five-and-a-half-star Demon Warrior!

Yet Lanling had originally planned to reach the level of a Seven-star Demon Warrior, thinking he could then have a duel with Du Yan.

Du Yan’s cultivation level is that of a Four-star Grand Demon Warrior, meaning that purely considering arm strength, he has four thousand five hundred pounds.

This strength, Lanling can still endure, and he can continuously use Bloodline Force Critical Strike, allowing each strike to reach four thousand eight hundred pounds of force.

However, once Du Yan uses Bloodline Force Critical Strike, his strength can instantly reach nine thousand pounds, and if he wields a sword with both hands, the power surges beyond ten thousand pounds.

At this point, can Lanling withstand it? He probably can’t.

Another point is that the gap between Lanling and Du Yan’s cultivation levels is so vast that even using Bloodline Force Critical Strike, Lanling’s speed is far below Du Yan’s.

In such a case, he might fall into a passive defensive state.

Earlier in the Mirror Illusion, Lanling engaged in combat with that Grand Demon Warrior, whose cultivation level should be similar to Du Yan’s, or even inferior. Yet Lanling still lost, ostensibly only because he saw through the illusion amidst the shock, coupled with the ambush by the Near-Human Tribe woman behind, that Grand Demon Warrior could have killed Lanling.

It should be known that the opponent had only a wooden stick, while Du Yan wields a sharp sword.

Of course, within the Mirror Illusion, Lanling couldn’t use spiritual power, but during battle with Du Yan, even if Lanling couldn’t use spiritual power to attack Du Yan, he could still analyze Du Yan’s attack trajectory.

However, Du Yan can use Qi path attack, which is a deadly trump card!

The characteristic of Qi path attacks is that they are silent and swift! Compared to ordinary physical attacks, they are countless times faster, almost impossible to defend against.

"Ling, in just over twenty days, you broke through nearly seven levels, and it wasn’t because of absorbing the Demonic God Ruins, this is completely a miracle against the heavens," Suo Mo said. "But with this cultivation level, dueling Du Yan is insufficient."

Lanling nodded.

To duel Du Yan, the minimum cultivation base he needs is that of a Seven-star Demon Warrior.

"Two days ago, I absorbed the blood of four Demon Warriors and three Grand Demon Warriors. I feel strong energy filling my bloodline," Lanling said. "For the past two days and nights, I dug an immensely large pit and buried several thousand corpses, but even so, my bloodline still feels restless, full of power that hasn’t transformed into physical strength."

Suo Mo nodded and fell into deep thought.

The most effective way to transform bloodline power into physical strength is through real slaughter, genuine battle!

But that is also a long-term process, definitely not something that can be achieved in just a few days!

"We are still too poor," Suo Mo said. "In your situation, if only you could take a Beast Origin Elixir and then undergo a blood bath, you could easily break through."

Pills aren’t mainstream in this world, but they’re indeed effective.

The Beast Origin Elixir is a pill condensed from the essence of hundreds of beasts’ bloodlines.

And a blood bath involves taking the Beast Origin Elixir and then placing a person in boiled beast blood, thereby embedding the energy of the Beast Origin Elixir into their bloodline, finally tempering it into their limbs and bones.

In general, pills can’t elevate a person’s cultivation level, but they can prematurely trigger one’s bloodline potential.

In this world, one’s cultivation level is entirely determined by bloodline talent, with little room for change due to external influences.

However, the Beast Origin Elixir can allow one’s cultivation level to prematurely break through.

That’s why Nini’an, despite being so young and not as diligent in training as Dina, has a higher cultivation level than Dina.

In contrast, Du Yan, having broke through to the level of a Four-star Grand Demon Warrior at such a young age, entirely relied on his innate talent and diligence.

Because in The Barbaric Wilderness, the Beast Origin Elixir is incredibly expensive, or in other words, it’s priceless.

To give an example, each time a tribe goes hunting, managing to catch three thousand beasts is considered a bounty harvest. But most of these beasts are directly killed instantly, whereas brewing a Beast Origin Elixir requires bleeding the beasts while they are alive.

This means at least one or two thousand creatures are needed to brew a single elixir.

So rare, the tribe’s leaders keep them for themselves; there’s no chance for them to be sold publicly.

Occasionally, a spendthrift might sell a Beast Origin Elixir, but the price exceeds a thousand Gold Coins.

Currently, the entire assets of the Foreign Tribe Army don’t even amount to a thousand Gold Coins.

"In this battle, the Foreign Tribe Army exchanged several Gold Coins but they were converted into food, with just less than two hundred Gold Coins remaining," Suo Mo said. "But a Beast Origin Elixir, on the market, costs at least more than a thousand Gold Coins; we don’t have enough."

Lanling nodded.

Suo Mo said, "However, if we are willing to sell the Little Griffon Beast, there would be enough Gold Coins to buy the Beast Origin Elixir."

"No, the Little Griffon Beast cannot be sold. That’s Yaya’s lifeline," Lanling said. "That’s the gift you gave me and the little girl."
