BXBX NOVEL Chapter 38
“So, he was a peak Qi Emperor. That describes his knowledge about the arts. I suppose he was very near to breaking through the Qi Monarch realm.”
“Your luck is quite a good brat, for the guy to leave you those set of arts and especially the treasure.”
Long Tao looked at the keeper and asked,” So you do know what the origins and significance of these things are. Why don’t you tell me?”
” First, finish the business here, then we can talk about your future path.”

“I was about to die of explosion just by intaking a single drop of blood essence. You need to be careful while practicing this art.”
.....
“Also, you need to use the manual present within the casket to practice the intake of the blood composites more efficiently. It was an art that gave me a huge boost in body strength and defense.”
Long Tao picked up the manual, written above the manual in grand letters were the words” Flesh tempering method.”
Long Tao started reading the text. The Flesh tempering method had an origin in the experiments of inserting beast properties into humans. It was already a fact that human s were more on the intelligent side with ways to create more techniques to use their Qi and gain higher control over their energy flow.
Another reason humans had the upper hand over the beasts was their procreational ability. But nature did give the animals some perks too.
They had the highest affinity with the Qi in the atmosphere, more muscular, more durable bodies, better bloodline powers, and more robust in the same realm. It made them faster, stronger, and better.
Hence since long-time humans have tried to inherit and practice like them. A result of this was the interbreeding between high-level beats (that could take a human form) and humans.
These species were termed as beast-men. But it was soon found that the beast’s characteristics always overpowered the human side. This effect could be attributed to the more potent bloodlines of the beasts.
Also, the beast-men tended to side with their beast ancestors and looked upon them as their source. It could even be said that they despised their human side. Hence, humans started to develop methods for human practicing beast powers.
The flesh Tempering method was a pinnacle example of it, and the same was the blood tempering formula.
.........................................................
While the blood tempering formula that Long Tao found in the 99 stances of beast god concentrated on using the blood essence of organisms to increase their bloodline power, the ‘Flesh tempering method’ tempered flesh and skin of the body via using the blood essence of beasts. It was like a complimentary art to the blood tempering formula.
“The Flesh tempering method you see is a technique that would help assimilate the blood composites with a lot of ease.”
“If you were to inject the blood composite and try to assimilate with just your blood, the energy might be too much for you to handle. It would result in the bubbling up and bursting of your body.”
“That is something I don’t want to see. The flesh tempering method plays the role here. This method was something I obtained in a dungeon I was exploring and the last possessor before I was a Qi Dominator.”
“I suppose you should understand the importance of it. With this method, you could use the energy obtained from the blood composites to temper, restructure, and harden your flesh and skin.”
.........................................
“This method not only allows you a far more improved defense, but it also increases the attack potential of each of your muscles. It, as a result, propels you to a much stronger offensive state.”
“Also, the blood energy in the flesh and skin would improve, and they would also start gaining automatic and fast recovery ability since the tempering makes them automated to absorbing Qi and mending themselves. ”
Long Tao heard the whole introduction given by the voice and was shocked upon knowing the origin of this art to be a Qi Dominator. That was a step away from the saint realm.
Long Tao recently noticed that his luck has been quite good. The number of good opportunities he was able to get his hands were quite large. It was one of them too.
.....................................................
“You need to train with the injected blood composites with the help of the flesh tempering method and start practicing it. Completely devouring the whole rack is only the first step that you need to take before your body can handle the energy from the Reverse scale.”
“I hope you will keep in mind the history I told you about. It was the absolute truth, and you need to take some teachings from it. That’s all master can provide you with.”
“Although the connection between you and me has been a short one, I want you to remember that I hope for the best future for you. Now I will send you back to your place. You need to get stronger.”
Long Tao had a tinge of sadness in his heart. The first master he took had already left him.” Master, can you at least tell your name to this disciple.”
” I don’t know if I am still remembered among the masses now, but I was once known as the White Dragon Emperor. That’s all I can say to you, boy.”
“If someday you become powerful enough and get to know the other twin dragon, the black dragon, please kill him for me. Your master is giving you one last task before departure,”
Before Long Tao could reply, he was already dragged out of the secret place and back to his cultivation cave.
Reaching the ground, Long Tao didn’t go back to training. He first kowtowed to the ground three times.
” Once a master, always a master till the end of life.” It was the honest respect Long Tao was giving to the man who was his first master.
