Chapters 111 and 112: Dark Blue Tattooed Bead!

  As she spoke, Muxi took out a beautifully packaged box from her handbag and handed it to Xiao Hong. After that, she slightly waved her hand at him, smiled, and then got into the Mini Cooper with Qiuqiu.

  "What is it?" Watching Muxi'er leave in a hurry, Xiao Hong was somewhat puzzled. He then casually tore open the outer packaging paper, revealing a delicate wooden box inside. When he opened it, Xiao Hong's expression changed suddenly, and he felt a little bewildered and at a loss.

  All that was seen in the box was an old book with yellowed pages, clearly printed with a few words "Blood Test Training Method and Dan Refining Method".

  There is no doubt that these few words once again demonstrate that this is a brand new, more advanced gong method than Qigong training, and it can be seen from the paper that it is the original version.

  Turning over the contents inside, he glanced at it a few times, and Xiao Hong could clearly feel the profundity of this new cultivation method, and even the method of making Dan.

  This kind of Dan medicine was previously known through other books, a kind of Dan medicine that combines medicinal pills with magical patterns. However, this Dan medicine is not spherical but flat, and the Dan medicine is used as a carrier stone, on which the pattern is carved. After swallowing and taking it, it dissolves in the stomach, triggering excellent therapeutic or other effects.

  In Taiwu City, there are not many people who master this technology. Sang Hongyun is one of them, and in the Kulong Group, no more than two people know how to do it.

  In fact, these are all what Xiao Hong urgently needs. The "Blood Test Training Method" can allow Xiao Hong to use it at the Rider level, and the Dan character may be the breakthrough for treating his own illness.

  "Thanks." Xiao Hong gazed in the direction where Mu Xi'er had gone, saying softly.

  He returned to his home, went to the bedroom, and Xiao Hong casually picked up the watering can, watered the three purple grasses on the windowsill. The three purple grasses were exactly what Xiao Hong brought back from the Dark Fusion Cave. Fortunately, after so many days of observation, these three purple grasses had survived, apparently with a strong vitality.

  Xiao Hong also plans to study them carefully after becoming a rider, and maybe there will be some new discoveries.

  He put the gift sent by Muxi'er on the table, and Xiao Hong didn't stop for a moment. He sat cross-legged at the head of the bed and continued to cultivate the driving force in his body. Now there are still three strands of energy in the sharp change magic pattern. As long as he works harder, it is expected that the transformation will be completed tomorrow, and the driving force in his body will reach 1500 strands, thus officially entering the driver level.

  During his cultivation, Xiao Hong also took the time to study "Blood Trial Training Method" and the key points of Dan-making. It can be said that the key point lies in how to carve a magic pattern on a medicinal pill the size of a fingernail, as well as its coordination with the Dan medicine itself.

  Excellent application can basically enhance the efficacy of Dan medicine itself by five to six times, or add other medicinal effects to Dan medicine.

  As for the Blood Trial Training Method, it is a brand new cultivation method for Xiao Hong. The main idea is to infuse the driving force into the blood, and through the flushing of the blood, achieve the purpose of cultivation. If the Breath Training Method advocates for gas, which is relatively simple, then the Blood Trial Training Method advocates for **, which is relatively more difficult.

  Although this training method can't be considered a rare treasure, it's still several grades better than the street vendor goods of breath training methods. However, even so, Xiao Hong is not satisfied with this and, almost as if by instinct, his mind begins to think of ways to improve and strengthen this method.

  Just like the Pranayama training method, the design of the Xiangmo pattern.

  In the blink of an eye, a day's time flew by, and at dawn, after a night of crazy training, Xiao Hong's internal Qi had reached 1,490 units, with only one unit of energy left to transform his magical tattoo.

  He had just gotten out of bed and hadn't even had time to put on his clothes when Xiao Hong sat cross-legged, activated the last transformation magic pattern, and began to focus wholeheartedly on making a final sprint.

  It can be said that with success in sight, Xiao Hong's heart was eager and impatient, because becoming a master had great significance for him.

  It can drive four seals at the same time, unlock the secret of the dark blue seal bead, and it is very likely to become Xiao Hong's permanent combat core seal. Of course, most importantly, from Xiao Hong's long-term research, wanting to find a breakthrough in treating strange diseases, becoming a rider is the bottom line.

  After a full three hours of cultivation, with the last bit of energy from the Butterfly Transformation Magic Pattern dispersing within Xiao Hong's body, Xiao Hong could truly feel that the power within his body had undergone a qualitative change, becoming much stronger and more resilient than before.

  At this moment, Xiao Hong's internal Qi had also reached 1501 shares.

  His eyes slightly opened, Xiao Hong's expression was calm and peaceful. He casually bent his left hand fingers into a claw shape, and once again manipulated the driving force. Suddenly, a faint blue glow flashed across the palm of his hand, pure and unparalleled, which was exactly the color of the driving force.

  At the same time, as mentioned before, using the variant Bloodscale Wolf's gallbladder, after thorough transformation, the accuracy of the driving force within the body will naturally increase by 2%, although it is not much, but Xiao Hong can already clearly feel that the driving force in his body has become much more sensitive, just like being covered with small tentacles.

  He slowly got up from the bed, Xiao Hong finally couldn't help but clench his fists, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

  However, this excitement only lasted for a few seconds, as Xiao Hong quickly pulled out the long-awaited dark blue magic bead from his underwear pocket.

  Placed in the palm of his hand, he took a look and had been expecting it for a long time. However, when the moment of truth was about to arrive, Xiao Hong suddenly felt an inexplicable tension.

  It has become a first-class driver, but can it really drive? What will happen after driving?

  Everything was swirling in Xiao Hong's mind, but after taking a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down and focused his attention on the dark blue magic bead in his hand.

  Hiss.

  Just as Xiao Hong had just transformed his power, the moment it infused into the dark blue magic bead, the golden lines on the magic bead suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and then disappeared into Xiao Hong's palm.

  It's all right now.

  Xiao Hong's heart was excited, but what happened next was beyond his expectation. The dark blue magic rune did not form a circular energy pattern on his forearm like regular battle runes, but instead extended from his right hand to his forearm, forming a series of pale blue lines that pulsed with a brightness that rose and fell like a breathing light.

  Such an unusual battle scar, Xiao Hong had really never seen it before.

  He clenched his fist slightly, and suddenly felt a surge of power in his right arm, which was extremely strange. In the past, all the battle tattoos and magic tattoos created by Xiao Hong had their energy stored within the tattoos themselves. This kind of direct energy existing in his hand was something Xiao Hong had never experienced before, nor had he seen it in any books.

  But what effect this magic pattern will have, and how much combat power it will bring, Xiao Hong still doesn't know. The surname Su directly arrived at the courtyard, facing the wall inlaid with a detection magic pattern, activating the energy inside the dark blue magic bead.

  The next moment, a small stream of cold air came out from Xiao Hong's palm, and then there was no reaction.

  "This... " Seeing the chill of the mist, and then looking at the detection magic pattern a few meters away, without even reflecting on it, Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, and his heart couldn't help but feel some despair.

  Battle scars!

  It's actually so weak that it can't even trigger the detection of magic seals.

  However, thinking back, Xiao Hong felt that something was not quite right. Earlier, he could clearly feel the power in his body, and with 80 stocks consumed, such a well-constructed and specially designed magic pattern couldn't possibly have only this much power. Xiao Hong firmly believed this point.

  Just as Xiao Hong came to this conclusion, his originally somewhat puzzled expression couldn't help but move, and a hint of surprise flowed out in his eyes.

  Because he saw that the dark blue magic pearl formed a cold mist, although it was already early autumn, but the temperature was still very high, and five seconds had passed, the cold air formed a mist that still existed. The fingertips swept across the place where the mist was formed, feeling cool, and the temperature was obviously lower than the surrounding area.

  "Right." Xiao Hong involuntarily uttered such a sound, because he suddenly thought that the place where they first found these two magic beads was filled with bean-sized ice cubes that were very difficult to melt.

  Once again, he slid his hand over the place where the mist was forming, and his fingertips accidentally stained a layer of small ice frost. He rubbed it with his hands, if it were ordinary ice, it would have melted when it came into contact with his hands. On the contrary, this small ice frost did not melt until Xiao Hong rubbed it several times, and then slowly evaporated.

  Because of this, Xiao Hong had already seen the characteristics of pea-sized ice pellets before, so Xiao Hong could confirm that the two types of ice were one and the same. Xiao Hong suspected that this type of non-melting ice was very likely to be perennial permafrost, but further analysis and testing would be needed to confirm this.

  Although the power of the dark blue magic bead was apparently almost non-existent, this discovery suddenly sparked Xiao Hong's interest. More importantly, through his perception of the beast's strength, Xiao Hong could sense that the next level upgrade for the dark blue magic bead was Beast Tamer Second Level, followed by Beast Tamer Third Level. It seemed that as long as he upgraded one level, the dark blue magic bead would be able to keep up with him.

  Similarly, as a warrior, Xiao Hong can be sure that at the next level, with the upgrade of the Dark Blue Magic Pattern Pearl, its power will definitely change significantly.

  At present, what Xiao Hong wants to do is to confirm whether the frost that has just formed is the Ten Thousand Year Ice or not. If it is, then he will be rich, because this means that in the future when making battle patterns, even if they are not permanent, their usage times can be greatly increased and costs reduced.

  And Xiao Hong has always wanted to use the Ten Thousand Year Ice to create a magical tattoo ink for use in tattoos.

  Chapter 112: Artificial Perpetual Frost, But Now This Ice Was In The Form Of A Mist, How To Collect It Became A Small Problem, However, This Seemed To Be Not Difficult For Xiao Hong.

  Xiao Hong quickly fetched a basin of clear water, and then released several cold airs into the water again. After a moment, more than ten ice grains the size of soybeans formed on the surface of the water.

  He took out one of the particles and rubbed it in his hand, but it still didn't melt immediately. Apparently, it was the same as the ice particle he had discovered before. Then, Xiao Hong took out a small magic pattern microscope from the storage cabinet and placed the ice particle on it.

  For the thousand-year-old ice, Xiao Hong had not seen it before, but there was a lot of information about it in the book. The so-called thousand-year-old ice is simply ice that has been frozen for 10,000 years and has never melted. The density of this kind of ice is much higher than that of ordinary ice, and it will show a dark blue color, which is very difficult to melt, with an extremely high degree of hardness.

  It is now unsuitable for melting, and this one has basically met the characteristics of a thousand-year-old ice.

  He focused his gaze on one end of the magic pattern microscope, then flipped through the "Precious Materials Compendium" to compare it with the enlarged pattern of the Ten Thousand Year Ice. After repeating this process several times, Xiao Hong was astonished to discover that the dark blue magic pattern bead released a cold air that formed ice particles with a denser molecular arrangement.

  It's obviously not as simple as eternal ice and snow.

  Not, but it has the characteristics of a thousand-year-old ice, which makes Xiao Hong full of surprise. Is it artificial thousand-year-old ice?

  Xiao Hongyuan guessed randomly.

  To further confirm, Xiao Hong thought for a moment and then took out a small piece of transparent thin glass. He then took out a strand of fragrant grass, crushed it into a pulp, and placed it on the glass.

  Then carefully put the ice grains from just now on top, and in an instant, the paste-like fragrant grass turned deep blue.

  Vanilla is actually a very ordinary herb, which can stop coughing. However, it has a special characteristic that can detect the presence of "Wan Nian Han Bing" (Ten Thousand Years Ice). Many masters who specialize in identifying materials will use vanilla to identify Wan Nian Han Bing. They usually place Wan Nian Han Bing on top of vanilla, and the vanilla will turn blue-green in color. Ordinary ice and other similar icy substances will not change color.

  So, when Xiao Hong saw the light green containing fragrance grass turn into deep blue, Xiao Hong's expression changed again. Undoubtedly, at this moment, the characteristics shown by this ice grain were similar to those of the Ten Thousand Year Ice, but not completely identical.

  In a subtle way, Xiao Hong had a feeling that the so-called artificial ice grains in front of him seemed to be even better than the thousand-year-old glacial ice.

  Xiao Hong suddenly snapped his fingers after a moment of contemplation, and said, "Why not try it out personally to see if this ice pellet really has the effect of a thousand-year-old glacial ice?"

  With this idea, Xiao Hong simply took out a white jade stone from the storage cabinet again, and then very naturally and skillfully carved a not-too-complicated pattern on an ordinary stone.

  Xiao Hong intended to make ordinary whitening magic patterns, similar to the ones that Da Hong Mei's journey would consume one or two of every day. As for making such magic patterns, Xiao Hong could complete them with his eyes closed.

  He took out the corresponding materials and, after just a few minutes, Xiao Hong had mixed up three different magical inks. Then, following the method for using the Ten Thousand Year Ice Frost, he ground them into an ice powder before adding it to the three magical inks.

  After the ice powder had completely melted, Xiao Hong took out a V-shaped carved knife, poured the magic liquid into it, and activated it. The entire process took less than ten minutes, making it a breeze to complete.

  He took a glance at the magic pattern in his hand, and Xiao Hong infused his energy into it. For this third-level magic pattern, Xiao Hong had managed to create 56 strands of energy, which was basically the limit for such a pattern. But at that moment, Xiao Hong suddenly felt that the newly created whitening magic pattern in his hand contained an astonishing 155 strands of energy, roughly three times the normal amount!

  With this discovery, Xiao Hong's eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of light.

  Effective, with an effect of having a thousand years of cold ice, no, better than that of a thousand years of cold ice.

  With this discovery, Xiao Hong's excitement is self-evident. Not to mention other benefits, if the elixir of beauty is made with the Millennium Ice, it can save Dahongmei three times the cost.

  Moreover, after joining the Ten Thousand Year Ice, any kind of magic pattern will also have a slight improvement in effect.

  "We've made a fortune." Xiao Hong muttered to himself, his expression revealing a long-awaited joy.

  Then, Xiao Hong clenched his fists slightly, but lowered his head to look at the water basin on the ground. Without hesitation, he quickly took out all the remaining ice grains from the water basin, leaving only two behind, and put the rest on a high-temperature heating plate, causing them to melt completely.

  Although these ice grains are not pure millennium ice, they can be sold for a high price. They are basically equivalent to Odin stones in value, and the higher the level of the pattern maker, the more they like this substance.

  Just imagine a magic pattern made of several thousand gold materials, which can be used 100 times. However, with the addition of Wannian Cold Ice, it can be used 300 times. The value of Wannian Cold Ice is self-evident.

  What's more, the Millennium Ice is extremely rare and the few places where it can be found are tightly controlled by the Imperial Royal Family for military use, making this already rare substance even rarer.

  However, Xiao Hong would never sell this artificial cold ice, the reason is personal safety issues. Once this cold ice is released, it will inevitably attract attention from many people, and after studying it, they will find that it is different from the Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice.

  In this case, when people ask, how should Xiao Hong answer? Can't say that the magic pearl is produced by himself, unless Xiao Hong is stupid to the extreme, thinking that no one will come to rob, or feel that he is tired of living.

  As for private use, there's no need to worry at all, because with the addition of the Thousand Year Ice Seal, apart from the number of uses being high, not a single trace can be seen. It can be said that using the Thousand Year Ice Seal is even more proof of one's exceptional skill, because some seal makers, having mastered specific magical liquid ratios and possessing outstanding craftsmanship, can still create seals with an abnormally high number of uses, but only limited to a certain type.

  Or perhaps it's just super good luck, like accidentally creating a permanent demon seal.

  As Xiao Hong melted most of the thousand-year-old ice, leaving only two small grains behind, he stood in front of a mirror, opened his chest, and observed for a moment. His chest wasn't particularly strong, but after undergoing physical training, his muscle tone was quite good. On the part of his chest near his heart, a one-inch-long purple line was clearly visible, just like a vein.

  But Xiao Hong, who already had a thorough understanding of the human body, could confirm that this was not a vein at all, but rather one of the dense, purple lines on his chest that had stretched out.

  Several months ago, Xiao Hong had already taken a bold and courageous approach, performing surgery on himself to remove a piece of pathological tissue for research.

  It was just that at the time, the rider hadn't arrived yet, and it was impossible to wield the magic surgical knife, but now...it's possible.

  However, this approach still filled Xiao Hong's heart with hesitation, because performing surgery on himself was absurd in itself, and more importantly, he couldn't use any anesthetics, as they would affect his driving skills, especially the accuracy of his driving.

  Standing in front of the mirror, he hesitated for a moment. It can be said that the time left for Xiao Hong is not much. Recently, the pain in his chest has become more and more obvious. Although San Hongyun's stop bleeding medicine can still suppress internal bleeding strongly, its pain-relieving effect has started to work only occasionally, which is not a good sign.

  If the seal of Tsu Tong is compared to a dam resisting floodwaters, then this dam has already begun to show cracks. More importantly, there are only twenty uses left for the Seal of Tsu Tong, not many at all.

  In front of the mirror, Xiao Hong glanced at his slightly pale face and put down his hand again. He turned around, sat on the desk, thought for a moment, then took out a high-quality Bloodstone, cut it into an ordinary pebble shape, and began to carve the surgical knife pattern with an engraving knife.

  This kind of magic thread has a minimum limit of grade one, and its purpose is to form sharp, sterile thin blades for surgical operations on the human body.

  Although it was the first time for Xiao Hong to try a Yu Zhe-level magic pattern, due to the relatively simple structure of the surgical knife's magic pattern and his previous efforts in this area, the production process turned out to be relatively smooth.

  Because the war blood stone is harder than the white jade stone, so carving this piece was a bit slower, but it was still completed very smoothly in the end.

  Next is the ratio of magical potion, in which some brain marrow of Lycoris and a small grain of artificial millennium ice are needed.

  The Lycan Mouse is also a spiritual beast, but it's quite common and can be found easily, so its brain marrow isn't worth much, probably only two gold coins. Compared to the magic patterns of the Rider level, it's basically worthless.

  Pour the magic liquid into it, activate it, and after half an hour, the surgical knife pattern is ready. On the blood-red loadstone, the gray stripes are clearly visible.

  However, for the success of making the surgical knife, Xiao Hong's face did not have a hint of excitement, but instead had a few more worries.

  Because Xiao Hong is very clear about what he will face next, although it's just a small cut on his body, but it requires great courage and perseverance. However, for survival, to stay alive, Xiao Hong has no choice, now Xiao Hong must seize every moment.

  Taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Hong stood up with the surgical knife in hand and took out several medicinal tattoos from the storage cabinet, including hemostatic, disinfectant, and wound repair ones. He also retrieved a piece of plywood, one meter long and half a meter wide, which was leftover from making advertisements, from behind the giant bookshelf.

  Using a small knife, he poked several holes in the plywood, then Xiao Hong used hemp rope to tie his left shoulder and chest together, this was to prevent his body from involuntarily moving around due to pain.
