Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Tang San led her back to the Golden Tree. The life energy here was the most abundant. Red One's body absorbed the life energy autonomously; the feeling of thirst quickly diminished, and her eyes gradually became clear.

Tang San had her sit with her back toward him and placed his right hand on her back, silently observing the changes in her bloodline.

The boiling and self-refining bloodline was gradually strengthened by the nourishing life energy. The concentration of her bloodline significantly increased, improving by at least one tier, which would allow Red One further to enhance her cultivation by at least one order. And this was just from being close to the aura of the Fox Tail Relics.

Tang San didn't force the bloodline refinement to continue. A sudden increase in purity might not be suitable for Red One. Steady improvement was the safest way. Otherwise, the rapid consumption of life energy, even with external life energy support, could result in her life essence being depleted, affecting her lifespan.

After ensuring that Red One's condition had stabilized, Tang San let her leave and called over Red Two.

He took out one Fox Tail Relic, allowing Red Two to be influenced by its aura and refine her bloodline. This time, as it was done right next to the evolved Golden Tree, the process was even smoother than it had been with Red One, and soon, Red Two's bloodline also evolved.

In this way, Tang San let the eighteen Crimson Fox girls undergo bloodline refinement individually. He took the opportunity to observe the girls' cultivation.

He discovered that during the bloodline refinement process, the lower the girl's cultivation, the better the refinement effect. The weakest, Red Sixteen, who was not even at the fourth order due to her thin Crimson Fox bloodline, saw her bloodline purity increase to a level that could cultivate up to the sixth order, a difference of two whole orders. This was an unexpected joy.

With this round of bloodline enhancement, the Crimson Fox girls wouldn't have any problems with their cultivation for a while. In fact, with the Fox Tail Relics, they likely wouldn't face bloodline issues before reaching the ninth order. Moreover, with the abundant life energy here, this place was undoubtedly the best cultivation ground for these girls.

After Red Eighteen's bloodline was enhanced, Tang San instructed them to return to the cave to continue cultivating and stabilizing their realms. By this time, an entire day had passed, and it was now evening.

The girls returned to the cave while Tang San carefully observed the three Fox Tail Relics in his hand.

Among the three Fox Tail Relics, the longest was about fourteen centimeters, the second longest was about ten, and the shortest was seven. The aura they emitted also varied; the longest had the most potent aura and emitted the most intense seven-colored light. The other two were relatively weaker.

From the aura of these three Fox Tail Relics, Tang San could roughly judge that the shortest one should have come from a Crimson Fox Demon King, a tenth-order powerhouse. The second longest was from someone at the peak of the Demon King level, while the one over longest should have come from a Great Demon King. The Crimson Fox clan had once produced a Great Demon King!

From a day's use and observation, Tang San could now be sure that the Fox Tail Relics’ effect was far more significant than that of essence blood; in fact, it was incomparable to normal essence blood. However, the side effect was the burning of life energy.

As he pondered, Tang San kept the shortest Fox Tail Relic and put away the other two. Then, he slowly inserted the shortest Fox Tail Relic into the tip of his left index finger.

The Fox Tail Relic was as sharp as a needle. When it pierced Tang San's finger, he didn't feel pain but a numbness in his fingertip. Then he distinctly felt a gentle energy, instantly spreading throughout his body and finally flowing toward his sea of consciousness.

He didn’t exactly recognize the aura, but it made his mind exceptionally clear, even causing a certain degree of agitation in his divine consciousness. Tang San distinctly felt his spiritual power converting into divine consciousness slightly faster in that instant.

Is it calming the mind and spirit?

He didn't have a bloodline imprint from the Crimson Fox clan, so the influence wasn't on his bloodline but instead on the aspects mentioned during the auction. Now, it seemed that these effects were indeed quite impressive! Although he couldn't immediately understand the underlying principle, holding the Fox Tail Relic while cultivating his spiritual power benefited the enhancement of his divine consciousness. This alone was invaluable to Tang San. However, he also faintly felt that as his spiritual power enhanced his divine consciousness, some of his life energy was absorbed by the Fox Tail Relic.

Trying it again, he was even more confident of his initial feeling. The Fox Tail Relic indeed absorbed his life energy. This was probably the foundation of its mystical properties being usable long-term—it stabilized spiritual energy and used life energy to power itself.

If there were insufficient external life energy, it would only have a calming effect at most. However, when life energy was abundant, and the user didn't mind their life energy being absorbed, it had a calming and invigorating impact.

This effect was probably very limited for the demons and nymphs. Considering the expenditure of natural treasures, the cost-effectiveness of enhancing divine consciousness wasn't high. Otherwise, the Crimson Fox clan would never have auctioned this item for money.

But for Tang San—or rather, for humans, it was different. Especially for Tang San, who had lived three lifetimes—he didn't just bring the experiences from his previous life, but also the Mysterious Heaven Technique, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hands, and various other pieces of knowledge from his first life.

In his first life, he was a disciple of the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect's cultivation, including the Mysterious Heaven Technique, involved knowledge of acupoints. Each person has 36 major acupoints and 108 minor ones. These acupoints are essential body parts where nerves or energy gather. Most major acupoints are lethal, such as the Baihui point at the top of the head, the Lingtai point at the center of the back, and the Tanzhong point at the center of the chest. These are places where a decisive strike can be fatal.

However, the Mysterious Heaven Technique involved focusing on the energy flow through these points, and the circuit of this energy throughout the body was essentially what cultivation was. Making these acupoints more accessible was necessary to improve one's cultivation. Cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique involved clearing these acupoints, allowing one's body to generate internal energy.

When Tang San absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he used his spiritual power to control and open all his acupoints, making the absorption of spiritual energy much more effective.

Thus, with the three Fox Tail Relics in Tang San's hands and his knowledge of acupoints, using the relics as needles to stimulate the acu points would naturally enhance the effects. The primary focus should be on the acupoints of the head. Of course, this required time for experimentation, starting with the minor points as the primary points posed significant risks. This was why Tang San initially experimented with the least potent of the three Fox Tail Relics. If he started too intensely, his divine consciousness could be disrupted.

Moreover, such cultivation could only be carried out beside the Golden Tree. In another location with insufficient life energy, he would be immediately drained, making the practice counterproductive.

After a night's experimentation, Tang San had grasped the mysteries of the process. At the very least, he could now use the Fox Tail Relic to stimulate the minor acupoints on his head, enhancing the speed of converting his spiritual power into divine consciousness.

The effect was quite good. His spiritual power, already at the peak of the ninth order and nearly saturated, benefited from this stimulation; the process consumed spiritual power and converted it into divine consciousness. For him, there could be no greater benefit. The consumed spiritual power could slowly be restored, and it was much faster than letting it passively turn into divine consciousness.
