Duan Chen blinked his eyes, but the thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly.

Regardless of why the Blood Feather Venerable Lord wanted to accept him as an apprentice, the crux of the problem now was that he couldn't worship under the Blood Feather Venerable Lord's door at all.

First, as the young hall master of the Demon Doctor Pavilion, he will go back to inherit the position of the master of the Demon Doctor Pavilion in the future, if he chooses to worship under the Blood Feather Venerable Lord, then what is the matter?

Second, there are too many secrets on his body, if he chooses to worship under the Blood Feather Venerable Sect and get along with such a powerful person in the merger period day and night, it is difficult to guarantee that the secrets on his body will not be exposed.

Thirdly, he had already made a blood oath at the beginning, promising that the Blood Demon True Monarch would avenge him, if he worshiped under the Blood Feather Venerable Lord, then he would avenge the Blood Demon True Monarch in the future, wouldn't he be charged with the crime of killing the master?

"No matter what, I can't worship under the Blood Feather Venerable Lord's door. ”

The thought flashed in his mind, but Duan Chen had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately looked up at the Blood Feather Venerable Lord who was sitting high in the sky, bowed down and bowed: "Thanks to the Venerable Lord's wrong love, I am willing to accept Duan Chen as a disciple, but Duan Chen is blessed, I am afraid that I can't worship under the Venerable Lord's door." ”

"What! he refused?"

"This Chen is crazy, that's the Blood Feather Venerable, how dare he refuse?"

The surrounding Northern Darkness Swordsmen and other Dharma Protector Elders were all ready, just waiting to see Duan Chen apprentice, but they didn't expect Duan Chen to refuse, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

The Tianfeng City Lord who was standing in front of Duan Chen also looked at him in great surprise.

Everyone didn't expect that Duan Chen would choose to reject the Blood Feather Venerable Lord.

"Got it, you can step back first. The Blood Feather Venerable Lord waved his hand with a somewhat ugly face.

"Thank you, Lord. Duan Chen cautiously glanced at the Blood Feather Venerable Lord's face, and then returned the Blood Feather Order in his hand to the Tianfeng City Lord, and then retreated back to the group of Dharma Protector Elders.

At this point, the rewards continue to be awarded.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was very tense, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Blood Feather Venerable Lord was in a very bad mood at the moment, so they didn't dare to talk as high as before, even if they talked, they were very cautious and cautious, for fear of angering the Blood Feather Venerable Lord.

"Elder Duan. ”

At this time, the closest to Duan Chen was Fang Yu, who was ranked twelfth among the Dharma Protector Elders, and he only heard the voice of his urn and said, "What the hell do you think, the Blood Feather Venerable Lord is willing to accept you as an apprentice, and you still don't appreciate it?"

Duan Chen was silent on the surface, and secretly replied: "After all, I am the young hall master of the Demon Doctor Pavilion, and I already have a master, so it is not suitable to worship under the Blood Feather Venerable Lord." ”

He didn't explain too much.

Although the Blood Feather Venerable's cultivation realm is higher than that of the old pavilion, Duan Chen doesn't care about this, if he really talks about the realm, which one of the Seven Demon Lords or the Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit is worse than him?

In short, he didn't care at all if he couldn't worship under the Blood Feather Venerable Lord, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While the two were talking, the Tianfeng City Lord also distributed all the rewards, and then loudly announced that this year's Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battle was over.

However, at this time, the Blood Feather Venerable Lord had already left, and the Peach Blossom True Monarch and the Styx Old Demon had also left one after another, followed by the Inner Temple Elders and the Dharma Protector Elders, who had also left one after another.

"It's time for me to go back too. Duan Chen was indeed in a bit of a mood at the moment, just now he had received some rewards from the Tianfeng City Lord as the Twelve Great Dharma Protector Elders, among which the most important thing for him was the "Blood God Fruit", and there was also a chance for a blood river baptism.

As for the other rewards, he didn't pay attention to them.

"Elder Duan, it's rare that everyone is together today, why don't you go to my cave mansion for a drink together?" Just as Duan Chen was about to leave, Fang Yu invited with a warm face.

"Yes, Elder Duan has joined our Dharma Protector Temple, we haven't picked you up yet, so we just went to Elder Fang Yu's cave mansion to get together today. Elder Qianshui, who was ranked eleventh, and Xiboya, who was ranked twenty-seventh, also laughed.

Among all the Dharma Protector Elders, their group of people had a relatively close relationship, so they all came together to invite Duan Chen.

"Good. Duan Chen couldn't help but nodded.

Wandering outside, one more friend is one more help, and he naturally has no reason to refuse.

......

On the peak of Tianjia No. 12 Dharma Protector Mountain, a group of Dharma Protector Elders were tasting wine and discussing, and the weakest of them were all ranked fifty, which showed that the circle of cultivators still valued strength, and the strength was not enough, so they were not qualified to sit together at all.

During this period, everyone tasted wine and talked about it, and occasionally talked about some secrets.

There were many secret things that Duan Chen had never heard of, such as some deeds about the Eighteen Protectors of the Blood God Temple, and some gossip rumors about the Seven Supreme Elders.

It was only at this time that Duan Chen knew that the Master of Blood Impermanence was actually the Blood Hung True Monarch, one of the Eighteen Guardian Hall True Monarchs.

When he was hunted down and killed by the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, the reason why the Blood God Temple spoke for him was that it was said that the Blood Hung True Monarch gave his deeds to one of the two deputy hall masters, which aroused the idea of that person, so he ordered the Blood Hung True Monarch to send someone to relieve the siege for him.

Of course, in addition to this incident, Duan Chen also heard a lot of gossip.

These gossip messages were also quite important to him, and it was more convenient for him to learn more about the major factions in the Blood God Temple in the future.

Time flies.

After the party, Duan Chen thought about it and did not return to the cave directly, but first went to the Blood God Altar, accepted the inheritance again, and obtained the eighth level of cultivation of the blood nerve, and then returned to the peak of Tianjia No. 6 Dharma Protector Mountain.

......

Sitting in the quiet room of the cave mansion, Duan Chen immediately flipped his palm and took out the Blood God Fruit from the storage ring.

Although there is only one word difference between the Blood God Fruit and the Blood Spirit Fruit, the appearance of the two is completely different.

Among them, the Blood Spirit Fruit looks more like a ripe red apple, while the Blood God Fruit is very large, close to the size of an ordinary person's head, the surface of the fruit is crystal clear, and the flesh inside is golden red, exuding a strange sweet smell.

Just watching, smelling the strange sweet smell emanating from the Blood God Fruit, Duan Chen felt that the blood in his body began to move uncontrollably, and he issued a strong desire for the Blood God Fruit.

"Let's eat. ”

Without any hesitation, Duan Chen directly picked up the Blood God Fruit and began to eat it, his mouth was suddenly full of sweetness, and at the same time, the blood in his body began to become hot and boiling, and under the influence of the Blood God Fruit's medicinal power, it gradually changed.

This Blood God Fruit was originally only available to the elders of the inner hall of the Blood God Temple, and usually the Dharma Protector Elders were not qualified, so the Dharma Protector Elder Ranking Battle was held every thousand years, and twelve would be set aside as a reward as an exception.

For cultivators who cultivate blood nerves, the blood god fruit is extremely valuable, it can subtly enhance the power of the blood veins in a person's body, and even the medicinal power contained in the fruit, the blood veins cannot be absorbed for a while, they will be temporarily latent in the body, and the blood veins will be gradually absorbed over time.

This is a bit similar to the Blue Sea Blue Heavenly Lotus that Duan Chen had taken at the beginning, except that the Blue Sea Blue Heavenly Lotus improved the monk's physical body, while the Blood God Fruit improved the power of the bloodline in the monk's body.

"This Blood God Fruit really lives up to its reputation. ”

He kept eating one bite at a time, and before he knew it, Duan Chen had eaten the entire Blood God Fruit into his stomach.

Now he could faintly feel that the blood in his Demon Dao Lord's body had increased by at least three times after absorbing the medicinal power of the Blood God Fruit.

"The Blood God Fruit will gradually nourish the power of the bloodline, with the strength of my Demon Dao deity, if I completely absorb the medicinal power of the entire Blood God Fruit, the power of the bloodline should be able to increase to about ten times. Duan Chen said secretly in his heart.

The Blood God Fruit is a unique spiritual fruit of the Blood God Temple, which is extremely helpful for cultivating the blood nerves, but it only has such a miraculous effect when you take it for the first time, and if you take it many times, the effect is not so significant.

For cultivators who have not cultivated the Blood Nerve, or have not cultivated the Way of Blood Refining, the help of the Blood God Fruit is relatively low.

Of course, a treasure like the Blood God Fruit, if you can't use it yourself, you can also exchange it for contribution points.

Normally, a Blood God Fruit can be exchanged for 8,000 contribution points, and 8,000 contribution points are enough to exchange for a medium-grade spirit treasure with relatively good quality in the Blood God Temple.

However, for cultivators who cultivated the blood nerve and cultivated the way of blood refining, the value of the Blood God Fruit, especially the first Blood God Fruit taken for the first time, was much higher than that of the medium-grade Spirit Treasure, and no one was willing to exchange it.

"While the blood is absorbing the medicinal power of the Blood God Fruit, let's try first to see if we can break through the blood nerve from the seventh major consummation realm to the eighth level. Muttering to himself, Duan Chen's Demon Dao deity immediately closed his eyes and began to cultivate the eighth level of blood nerves.

......

Time passed, and it took nearly ten years for Duan Chen to absorb the medicinal power of the entire Blood God Fruit.

However, in the past ten years, he has cultivated the blood nerve, but there is no sign of a breakthrough, and he is always stuck in the seventh major consummation realm.

"It is said that many of the Void Realm powers in the Blood God Temple that cultivate blood nerves are now stuck in the Seventh Great Perfection Realm, and it seems that this seventh to eighth level is indeed a very big level. ”

Although he had not been able to use the medicinal power of the Blood God Fruit to cultivate the blood nerve to the eighth level, Duan Chen was not frustrated at all.

Because after absorbing the medicinal power of the Blood God Fruit, the power of the blood veins in his body increased by more than ten times compared to before.

Now, if he uses thousands of qi and blood techniques, it is already enough to compete with Mu Tianfa.

If other means were added, Duan Chen would even have the confidence to suppress Mu Tianfa and even defeat it.

"It's time to get baptized in the river of blood. The thought flashed in his mind, but Duan Chen's whole person had already gotten up and left the quiet room, and then directly teleported to the Blood God Island through the teleportation array on the peak.

Half an hour later, Duan Chen's figure appeared at the entrance of a hidden valley on Blood God Island, and waited quietly at the empty valley entrance, as if he was waiting for someone.
