Chapter 157 Refining Essence and Blood

After the words fell, the door slowly opened, and the girl in a pink dress with a slender figure stood quietly in front of Lu Li.

Seeing Lu Li's puzzled face, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Brother Lu, don't you recognize me?"

"Girl, who are you?" Lu Li frowned and thought hard, when did he recognize such a pretty girl? Among the women he had seen, except for Wei Yue, I'm afraid no one could compete with this person in terms of appearance.

"Hehe, you called me sister Ling'er a month ago, but you don't recognize me in the blink of an eye. Men are really heartless and fake guys." Xiao Ling curled her lips and rolled her big eyes.

"Uh...you, you are Xiao Ling!"

Lu Li couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at the girl in front of him up and down again and again, and couldn't find any trace of Xiao Ling before, and the other party's voice was completely different.

Until he saw the other person's big watery eyes, he scratched his head and said, "You, seem to be Xiao Ling."

"It seems that you still remember me." Xiao Ling laughed, "Come in and talk?"

Lu Li nodded and walked in.

After sitting at the table, Lu Li asked curiously, "Miss Xiao Ling, what happened to you before?"

"Before, I was afraid of being recognized by my enemies, so I just disguised myself."

Xiao Ling sat opposite Lu Li and poured him a cup of tea, "But now it has been seven or eight years. I guess they won't recognize me even if I stand in front of them, so... I don't want to pretend anymore."

Every girl has a heart that loves beauty, and Xiao Ling is no exception. It is not easy for her to make herself so ugly for so many years.

"So that's the case." Lu Li couldn't help but sympathize with the other party's experience. I guess the Xiao brothers and sisters must have been very unhappy these years.

"Yeah." Xiao Ling nodded and asked, "Brother Lu, are you here to borrow the talisman brush?"

"Well, that's right, I don't know..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling spread her jade hands, and a foot-long, golden, brush-like thing appeared in her hand. She picked it up and took a look before handing it to Lu Li, "Take it. My monster's blood has run out, so it's just right to rest for a while."

"Thank you." Lu Li was delighted and took it with both hands, "Brother Hanlin hasn't come back yet?"

Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "Brother came back once half a month ago, gave me a fire wolf and left again, but I don't seem to be the material for drawing talismans. Even the success rate of the mid-level fire bomb is less than 10%, which is a waste of brother's hard work."

Less than 10%.

Such a success rate is indeed very low.

Lu Li turned his eyes and asked curiously, "Can I ask, Sister Ling'er, how did you fail? Or at which step did you fail more times?"

In his opinion, as the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. Xiao Ling has failed for so many years, so he should have some experience.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled sweetly, "I love hearing you call me Sister Ling'er. I heard from my brother that you haven't drawn a talisman yourself yet, right? Why don't I teach you?"

"Really? That's great." Lu Li thought that the saying 'Don't hit a smiling person' was true. It seems that I have to be more careful about what I say and do in the future.

"Well, of course, I love helping people the most. When are you going to start painting, Lu Li...brother?"

"Uh..." Hearing the other party's soft voice, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he immediately gathered his mind and said, "I just came back from Yunwu Mountain, and I haven't had time to refine my blood essence yet. Can I come to you after I refine it?"

"Of course, I'm bored. If you can't refine it by yourself, I can help you?"

"Help me?"

Lu Li suddenly remembered the piles of black wood vines in the Space Hall, and his eyes turned, "How about this, I haven't started practicing the Nine-Turn Blood Refining Technique yet, you come to my room later to help me refine my blood essence, and guide me on the first level of practice, how about it?"

"Of course, as a reward, I also have good things to give you."

If it's just refining, Lu Li has the Time Hall, it shouldn't take much time in the outside world, but he hasn't practiced the Nine-Turn Blood Refining Technique yet, so he can take this opportunity to ask Xiao Ling for some practice experience to avoid taking detours.

"Good stuff?" Xiao Ling asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Lu Li smiled mysteriously and said goodbye.

Back in the room, Lu Li first took a bath to eliminate the fatigue of more than a month, and then entered the Time Hall to study the Nine-Turn Blood Refining Technique several times.

Later in the evening, Lu Li moved the round table in the middle of the room and moved out the huge bloodthirsty black ape corpse. The corpse was big enough to fill the entire room.

After preparation, Lu Li found Xiao Ling.

When Xiao Ling saw the black ape that filled the entire room, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaimed, "This is too big, isn't it? Brother Lu Li, what kind of monster is this?"

"This is a bloodthirsty black ape. I spent a lot of effort to get it." Lu Li stood at the door and sighed.

"Oh." Xiao Ling squeezed into the small gap behind the door and looked at it carefully.

"How about we start now?" Lu Li took out a large jade basin and placed it next to the black ape, and then took out the axe that had been opened, ready to cut a hole to let the blood out.

However, Xiao Ling immediately stopped him, "You can't use a basin to collect the blood. After the blood flows out, it will lose its spirituality, and the refined blood essence will be much less."

"Is there such a saying?" Lu Li stopped his action immediately, "What should I do then?"

"Watch me."

Xiao Ling took out a small dagger and carefully cut a faint scar on the black ape's buttocks. The scar was very slight, with only a faint blood line flowing out.

After doing all this, Xiao Ling smiled at Lu Li, who was full of doubts, "I figured it out by myself. If I use the blood refining technique in the monster's body through this tiny wound, I can extract more blood essence."

As she said this, she gently placed her jade hand on the wound. As the true energy surged, a faint red light bloomed on her jade hand.

About half a minute.

The black ape's buttocks began to shrivel up, and Xiao Ling's forehead was sweating. She withdrew her palm and made a move in the air. A drop of blood the size of a marble, shining red, just quietly floated on her palm, "Brother Lu Li, come on, jade bottle!"

Lu Li was surprised and quickly took out a jade bottle and handed it over.

Xiao Ling put the blood essence into the jade bottle and handed it back to Lu Li, "See clearly, this way you can maximize the extraction of the monster's blood essence."

"I'll try."

Lu Li thought that with someone's guidance, he could save a lot of detours, and he couldn't wait to experience it himself.

"Let me make another cut for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling took out the dagger and carefully cut a small wound on the giant ape's thigh, saying softly while cutting: "This wound can't be too deep or too shallow. If it's too shallow, it will hinder the smoothness of the true qi entering. If it's too deep, blood will spray out, and the effect of refining in the body will not be achieved..."
