Essence blood, also known as heart blood.

Different from ordinary blood, people's essence is mostly stored in the five internal organs, and the heart is the most.

Therefore, essence blood refers to the special blood that contains essence and qi, which is different from ordinary qi and blood.

And the sacrificial paper man is about to use essence blood.

This was also the reason why Su Ming was a little reluctant before, he didn't know how much the sacrificial paper puppet would have on his cultivation.

But Gong Lao's reminder made him no longer hesitate at all.

If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must have enough strength, and at the moment, the paper puppet is the fastest means to improve your strength, and Su Ming has no choice.

Holding his breath, Su Ming immediately cut his fingers with his true qi and drew a spell on the tied paper figure.

Similar to the refining weapon, the paper puppet made by the paper puppet technique is also a special magic weapon, but this magic weapon is not made by the traditional fire method, but by the blood refining method.

Drawing talismans with blood is the most basic means.

The spell on the paper puppet technique, in the eyes of Su Ming, who was a first-order refiner, was extremely simple, and he had only studied it for one night, and he knew it by heart.

Now that it is used, it is not even inferior to the mysterious old man who has been immersed in this way for decades, this is Su Ming's advantage as a refiner.

Soon, the paper figure was painted with blood curses by Su Ming.

With a large amount of blood loss, Su Ming's face turned a little pale.

But he knew that it wasn't over yet, because the most crucial essence blood sacrifice had not yet begun.

Thinking of this, Su Ming took out a bottle of Qi and Blood Pill, raised his head and poured seven or eight pills into his mouth.

This Qi and Blood Pill is just a top-level blood tonic pill among the mortals, and it is not a spirit pill, so the price is not expensive, Su Ming spent a spirit stone and bought a large bottle, which is enough for a hundred pills.

Seven or eight Qi and Blood Pills went down, and Su Ming's face was visibly rosy with the naked eye.

He took a deep breath, and immediately activated his true qi, wrapped his heart's blood, and carried it towards his right finger.

Laugh at!

Su Ming pierced the index finger of his right hand with his true qi, and a drop of red blood came out of his index finger.

The bead was completely different from the blood it had before, it had only been exposed, and the air around it had become scorching.

A drop of essence blood was forced out, Su Ming's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and the whole person seemed to have lost a few points.

At the same time, a wave of dizziness hit Su Ming.

Su Ming endured the dizziness caused by the loss of essence blood, and pressed this steaming drop of essence blood to the center of the paper man's eyebrows according to the blood spell recorded in the ancient books.

It's strange to say.

Just as Su Ming pressed this drop of essence blood on the paper man's eyebrows, the dense blood spell on the paper puppet's body first flashed red, and then all the blood curses were hidden in the paper man's body and disappeared.

Immediately after, the paper figure moved.

Su Ming only felt that he had established a sense of blood connection with this paper figure, which was very subtle, but it made Su Ming intoxicated.

He tried to manipulate the paper man, and found that the paper man was more obedient than he imagined, no matter what Su Ming wanted it to do, the paper figure puppet did everything right.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming immediately swallowed another large mouthful of Qi and Blood Pill, and his eyes were full of light.

"According to the ancient books, as soon as the paper puppet is refined, it has the characteristics of invulnerability and invulnerability, and I don't know whether it's true or not."

Thinking of this, Su Ming immediately found a small sword in the house.

This is the Qingguang Sword that Su Ming once failed to refine, although all the formations on it have been destroyed, but after all, the sword body material is fused with iron essence, if it is spread to the mortal world, I am afraid it can become a divine weapon to break the head on the rivers and lakes.

Su Ming didn't inject true qi into the body of the little sword, but just relied on his own strength to slash at the paper man's arm.

Suddenly, the touch of a blunt knife cutting through hard cowhide came from his right hand.

Su Ming looked at it and saw that the paper puppet was cut, leaving only a fine white mark, and the white mark disappeared in an instant.

"What is recorded in the ancient books is true!"

Su Ming was overjoyed.

You know, this paper puppet has just been refined.

According to the yellowed ancient books, the power of the paper puppet in the paper puppet technique can be distinguished according to the cultivation period of the cultivator in the qi refining period.

It is calculated at the interval of once a month.

After a year of continuous training, the paper puppet can be comparable to a monk in the early stage of qi refining.

After three years of cultivation, you will be able to compete with a mid-stage Qi cultivator.

If you have practiced for ten years, no one can stop you during the Qi training period!

It sounded like this spell was terrifying, but at the thought that the paper puppet was going to be refined with essence blood, the joy on Su Ming's face dissipated.

Su Ming had just finished refining a paper puppet, and he found that not only had he lost a drop of essence blood, but even the true qi mass in the dantian had also been smaller.

"Sure enough, the essence and spirit are interdependent, and the loss of essence and blood will inevitably lead to the regression of cultivation, and this drop of essence blood has turned my months of penance into ashes,"

Su Ming sighed, "It's really an evil art!" ”

Despite all his words, he couldn't resist the temptation of the power of paper golems.

"Try to strengthen the paper puppet tomorrow to see if you can strengthen it, and if not, put it on the shelf."

Su Ming made up his mind in his heart, if he could use the essence blood sacrifice to improve the power of the paper man, he would never do it.

His own cultivation is not high, and he only has three levels of Qi cultivation.

In order to gain a foothold in Qingshuifang City, Su Ming spent another two years learning refining weapons, delaying his cultivation.

If he is addicted to paper puppetry again, I am afraid that he will really be like the mysterious old man who gave him paper puppetry in the future, unable to build a foundation and depressed for life.

But now......

Su Ming looked eagerly at the paper puppet and silently ordered it, "Break it." ”

As he spoke, Su Ming handed over the small sword in his hand.

Although this small sword is a first-order low-grade magic weapon that has failed to be refined, its own material is placed there, even if a cultivator in the early stage of qi cultivation comes, under the premise of not using the magic technique, it may be difficult to break it with only true qi.

However, as soon as the order was issued, Su Ming heard a crisp sound of "pop".

The Hundred Refining Sword, which was infused with iron essence, was broken by the paper man.

Su Ming looked at the paper puppet, his eyes lit up, he recited a spell to the paper man with joy, and shouted in his mouth: "Collect!" ”

The paper puppet flashed red, then shrunk continuously, and finally turned into a piece of paper the size of a spirit rune, which fell into Su Ming's hand.

"Good baby!"

Su Ming couldn't help but admire, "Now, it depends on whether this paper puppet can be strengthened tomorrow, if it can be strengthened, ......"

With excitement, Su Ming couldn't sleep again.

In desperation, he had to turn over and sit up and meditate and cultivate.

It's just that the aura in Qingshuifang City is thin, and the monks in Fang City are piled up, and the average amount of aura is not much for each monk.

Therefore, Su Ming has always been not very enthusiastic about refining spiritual energy cultivation.

"It would be nice if there was a cave on Chiyun Peak."

Su Ming had unrealistically wonderful ideas and settled down.
