After getting the materials, Wu Chen found an inn, asked for a room, and paid a month's fee. After doing all this, he immediately went into seclusion to break through to the second level of the Fire Phoenix Art.
Before that, the first thing he had to do was to extract the Phoenix blood from the Nine Nether Bird's essence and blood. If he didn't extract the Phoenix blood, he wouldn't be able to bring the Fire Phoenix Art to its fullest effect, because the Nine Nether Bird's essence and blood still contained a large amount of impurities, and the Phoenix blood was just a trace of it. If he absorbed the impure Phoenix blood, the consequences would be very serious, and it might even cause the blood to conflict with his body, repelling each other, making it impossible to practice.
The extraction of blood is a very delicate job. Even with the assistance of various materials, it is not an easy task. It took Wu Chen a full seven days to extract the phoenix blood from the essence of the Nine Nether Bird, which consumed a lot of energy.
"This purity should be considered sufficient."
Looking at the extremely tiny layer of blood film at the bottom of the bottle, Wu Chen nodded. This layer of blood film was the phoenix blood he needed. Don't underestimate such a small blood film, but the energy contained in it is very terrifying. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no way to absorb and refine it, because this is the blood of the legendary mythical beast Phoenix. Once an ordinary person absorbs it into the body, it will cause great harm to the body, and in severe cases, the body will even explode and die.
However, Wu Chen was not afraid. He practiced the Fire Phoenix Technique, which allowed him to effectively absorb the blood of the phoenix and completely integrate it into his body.
So, after a short rest, Wu Chen activated the Fire Phoenix Technique and immediately absorbed this layer of blood film.
As soon as the Phoenix blood entered his body, Wu Chen immediately felt a powerful force constantly colliding and crashing into his body, causing his body to tremble violently. His blood was boiling, filling his meridians, and he was about to explode.
Wu Chen was shocked. Although he knew that the Phoenix bloodline was extremely violent and possessed powerful energy, he did not expect that it would cause such a big reaction to his body. This had never happened in his previous life.
However, after thinking about it, Wu Chen understood the reason. When he obtained the Fire Phoenix Art in his previous life, his cultivation was already very high, and practicing the second level of the Fire Phoenix Art was not difficult for him at that time. Naturally, the stimulation reaction of the Phoenix bloodline to his body was much smaller.
It’s different now. He has only reached the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm and is still very weak. The Phoenix is a divine beast and its bloodline power is extremely violent. It is not surprising that his body would react violently.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Chen tried hard to calm his mind. The Fire Phoenix Art in his body started to run automatically, wrapping around the blood and refining it frantically.
Under such refining, the aura in his body was rising steadily, and soon broke through the barrier of the fourth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm and successfully entered the fourth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.
Wu Chen was extremely happy to see his own breakthrough in cultivation. He did not expect that he could break through his own cultivation by refining the Phoenix bloodline. This could be said to be an unexpected gain.
After a while, Wu Chen suppressed the joy in his heart, practiced the Fire Phoenix Art, and began to strive for the second level of the Fire Phoenix Art.
The reason why he wanted to take the Nine Nether Bird's blood essence was to obtain the trace of Phoenix blood in it. The Phoenix blood was necessary for him to practice the Fire Phoenix Art. Without the Phoenix blood, he would not be able to practice successfully.
The phoenix is a divine beast, and its unique bloodline is extremely violent. Even if it is just a trace of it, it is not an easy task for Wu Chen to refine it, and it takes time.
Therefore, this process took him another ten days. During this time, he sat there, motionless, refining the phoenix bloodline and breaking through the second level of the Fire Phoenix Art.
…
"Boss, is there any room available?"
Two young men came to the counter, one of them was wearing yellow and the other was wearing blue. They had heroic looks on their faces and looked either rich or noble.
The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes. You two would like to stay in the hotel, right?"
"Nonsense, aren't we going to stay in a hotel?"
The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face. For some reason, there were a lot of people staying here recently, almost in an endless stream. Not only that, the same was true for other inns, which were almost overcrowded.
However, they didn't care. This was an inn and a restaurant, and their purpose was to attract guests to stay. The more guests they had, the better their business would be, which was what they wanted.
"Son, take these two distinguished guests to their rooms."
At this time, the waiter next to him whispered, "Boss, all our rooms are full now. There are no extra rooms."
"No extra rooms? That's impossible. Look carefully."
The waiter took out a list, looked at it carefully, and said, "Boss, there are indeed no rooms left. The last room was booked by a young knight half an hour ago."
The shopkeeper was a little surprised, but he was happy in his heart. There were no vacant rooms, which proved that all their rooms were occupied, which was exactly what he expected.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen. Our shop is full."
At this time, the two young men looked at each other and felt very disappointed. They came from other places and found many inns, but their situations were similar to this inn, all of them were full.
"Boss, please think of a solution. We are willing to pay double the price."
The shopkeeper was in a dilemma, as most of the people who stayed in his inn were warriors or people of noble status, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
Judging from his expression, he seemed very unhappy. The two young men were unhappy. The man in yellow clothes took out a silver note and handed it over without saying a word.
"Boss, as long as you help us find a room, this thousand taels will be yours."
His words clearly indicated that he was not short of money and was a wealthy man.
When the shopkeeper saw the silver note, his eyes lit up without blinking. This was one thousand and two taels of silver, which was several times the price of the house.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I will arrange it for you."
He turned around and asked the waiter, "Let me take a closer look. Is there any extra room?"
This is one thousand and two taels of silver. If you can get it, the profit will be very lucrative.
"Okay, okay."
The waiter took out the list again and selected the items carefully. He dared not disobey the boss's orders. If he was fired, he would have no place to cry.
"Yes, Boss. Room 10, it seems no one lives there."
