Chapter 4540

Leif seemed extremely confused.

‘I don’t know his exact cultivation rank, but Ms. Saachi has commented about how James has

impressive strength due to his extraordinary physical condition. Normally, it also suggests that the

cultivator has achieved a superb cultivation rank. Yet, that guy is using these low-grade herbs for his

cultivation?’ Leif pondered.

James’ brows twitched the instant he noticed Leif.

However, he quickly controlled his expression and said matter-of-factly, “I bet you haven’t seen

anything like this. This is a secret method that I learned from my sect leader. It’s the perfect method to

train and refine a cultivator’s body.”

“Oh… Is that right?”

Leif raised his brows. “You have the body of a Caelum Acmean. Can a herbal concoction with this level

of energy really be of use to you?”

“As I’ve said, this is a secret method.” James waved his hand dismissively. “If you’re not here for any

urgent business, you can leave now. Knowledge of this secret method is only shared among members

of the sect I belong to. We can’t perform it in front of outsiders.”

Although Leif appeared confounded, he did not press James for more answers. Then, he turned

around and walked away.

James shouted in his direction, “Don’t sneak a glance!”

“I won’t!” Leif continued walking without sparing James a second glance.

After making sure that Leif had left the backyard, James heaved a sigh. “How embarrassing! A

Permanence Acme Rank cultivator like me has to make do with these low-grade herbs!”

James shook his head. Then, he tried to calm himself down and focused his concentration on the next

task.

The Blood Mantra detailed cultivation methods for one to train their Blood Energy and optimize

bloodline power to the fullest. Apart from that, it also included ways to create a new bloodline power.

The seal in James’ body had not only blocked his existing bloodline power, but it had also restricted his

Path Powers. So, James had no choice but to create and cultivate a new bloodline power.

The herbal concoction that James had prepared might contain relatively low aura for skilled,

experienced cultivators. However, it was more than enough to help regular folk with their cultivation.

Thankfully, in James’ case, the energies in the concoction were sufficient for him to create a new

bloodline power.

After making sure all areas below his neck were submerged in the herbal concoction, James began to

recite the scriptures from the Blood Mantra inwardly. Within seconds, the energies from the concoction

were slowly absorbed into James’ body through the pores on his skin.

Those energies were used to create new veins in James’ body. Gradually, red mist started forming in

James’ muscle tissues. As the red mist combined with the energies from the concoction, blood was

formed in the new veins.

Eventually, the new network of veins started circulating the new blood in his body. Meanwhile, James’

existing bloodline power became dormant. James stayed immersed in the pot for three months as he

worked on his new bloodline power.

After three months, the water in the pot that was once murky had turned clear as James had

completely absorbed every bit of energy in the herbal concoction.

James had successfully created a new bloodline power, and he even managed to cultivate and refine it

to the Sage rank.

He leaped out of the pot cheerfully. After doing a few stretches, James tried to channel his Path Powers

with the aid of his new bloodline power. To his surprise, he could even unleash the powers of the Divine

Rank.

Although it might not seem much, James was still pleased with his current progress.

‘I just need to continue to absorb the energies of heaven and earth, and my bloodline power will

increase in no time!’ James thought.

James went out of the backyard to go for a stroll. After a while, he happened to pass by the saintess’

herb garden. James noticed that they had increased the formations cast over the garden almost

instantaneously.

‘Though I really want those herbs and I am capable of destroying these formations easily, I don’t want

to ruin my good relationship with the saintess at the moment.’ James pondered.

Shortly afterward, James decided to travel to various places around the universe to look for more

Empyrean herbs. This time, he traveled for three years and collected all of the Empyrean herbs

regardless of their grades. James even managed to obtain a Divine grade herb during his journey.
