Chapter 2 - Four Spirit Blood

　　Granny Si pulled him towards the village with gusto and laughed, "Don't look, come over quickly, today is your big day! Village Chief, Master Ma, all come out!" 　　A bonfire was lit in the village, and the village chief was carried out again on a stretcher, saying in a deep voice, "Have you found all four spirits?" 　　"All found." 　　The one-armed Master Ma dragged in a large snake several feet long, turquoise green in color, also still alive, glowing with a fishy smell, only to be pinched by Master Ma's seven inches with one hand, unable to move. 　　The mute blacksmith, on the other hand, brought in a large bird that was a bit taller than the mute, but had its wings and feet tied. When the bird struggled, there was fire flying out of its feathers, crackling, very scary. 　　Blind man moved a bigger than the table surface of the giant tortoise, this giant tortoise do not know how many years of life, tortoise shells are turned up the golden color. Giant turtle limbs are shrunk in the shell, from time to time to sneak out a claw, Qin Mu saw its claws out of the shell, under the claws will be born under the water vapor, it seems to be able to the golden turtle lifted up, driving the water vapor to escape. 　　It was just that the golden turtle was unable to escape as the blind man had pierced its nostrils with a fishhook. 　　"Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, although the blood of these four spirits cannot be gotten, but by using Green Jiao Snake, Iron Bone Tiger, Thunder Bird, and Golden Tortoise instead, a little bit of spirit blood can be refined, which is enough." 　　The village chief nodded to the village butcher, the butcher grinned and propped his hands up on the ground, he was a man with only the upper half of his body left, cut off from the waist down, with a flat wound. 　　Four vats were placed in front of the Green Snake Tiger Thunderbird and the Golden Turtle, the butcher bled the beasts one by one, after a short while the four prey bled out. 　　"Medicine man." The village chief said. 　　The village pharmacist came forward, he had no face, the skin on his face seemed to have been cut off, along with his nose, and the upper and lower lips of his half-open mouth, he was the ugliest and scariest person in the village, but Qin Mu felt that Grandpa Pharmacist was the most amiable person in the village to him. 　　The Medicine Master stepped forward and took out four peculiar red leaves, each with a snow-white insect egg on it. When the medicine man threw a leaf into each tank, he saw the eggs break open and the silkworms lay down on the leaves to drink their blood. 　　These worms grew when they saw the wind, and the more blood they drank, the bigger their bodies became. Soon all the blood in the four tanks was drained, and there was one fat and big worm left in each tank. 　　The pharmacist grabbed a handful of white crystal foam like salt and sprinkled it in the tanks, Qin Mu saw that the four fat and big worms were actually shrinking at a rapid pace, and he couldn't help but tsk tsk tsk. 　　After a moment, the pharmacist picked up the four worms, each of which was only the size of a palm. He took out four white porcelain cups, grabbed one bug and squeezed it hard, the bug squeaked and a cup of amber-like crystal clear plasma flowed out of its mouth. 　　The pharmacist did as he had done, squeezing out the blood from the stomachs of the other three bugs, placing the four cups in front of Qin Mu and shaking his head, "After all, it's not a real spirit beast, and there's only so much spirit blood that can be extracted." 　　"Mu'er, there are seven treasures hidden within the human body, the Spirit Fetus, the Five Observations, the Six Harmonies, the Seven Stars, the Celestials, Life and Death, and the Divine Bridge, these seven treasures are inherently closed off like a treasure that has been closed off, and thus they are known as the Seven Divine Treasures." 　　The village chief's voice carried a bit of majesty, under the reflection of the campfire, his face was bright and dark, and he said in a deep voice: "The seven great divine treasures are in a closed state, and need to be opened by the martial artist himself, the obstacle that prevents the martial artist from opening the divine treasures is the wall, the Spiritual Fetus Wall, the Five Obsidian Wall, the Six Harmonies Wall, the Seven Stars Wall, the Celestial Wall, the Life and Death Wall, and the God's Bridge Wall. The process of breaking open these seven walls is known as breaking the wall." 　　The one-armed horse master gently stroked Qin Mu's head and laughed, "If the wall cannot be broken, one cannot cultivate. Some people are favored by the heavens, once born, the wall of the spirit fetus is broken, and they are born with the spirit fetus God's treasure opened, this kind of physique, known as the spirit body, is born with God's blessing, and is the seedling of cultivation. Possessing a spiritual body of people, talent is higher than ordinary people, cultivation with half the effort. Spiritual fetus has four attributes, so there are also four types of spiritual body, Green Dragon Spiritual Body, White Tiger Spiritual Body, Vermilion Bird Spiritual Body, Xuanwu Spiritual Body. If you want to check if you are a spirit body, you need these four spirit bloods." 　　The Medicine Master said, "If you are a Green Dragon Spiritual Body, after drinking the Green Dragon Spiritual Blood, you will stimulate the Green Dragon Qi. Master Ma is the Green Dragon Spiritual Body." 　　The one-armed Master Ma undid his clothes and stood bare-chested in front of Qin Mu, turned his back to him, and let out a low gulp. 　　Qin Mu immediately saw a green qi emerge from behind Master Ma's back, from his tailbone straight to the back of his head, the green qi gradually changed and turned into a green dragon with scales and whiskers in perfect detail, a dragon claw extending to Master Ma's one arm, and two more dragon claws wrapped around Master Ma's legs. 　　"This is the Green Dragon Spiritual Body." 　　The one-armed horse master put on his shirt, "Granny Si is the White Tiger Spiritual Body." 　　Granny Si gave him a blank look and said, "Old me won't take off my clothes to cheapen you old geezers. I'll use my Qi to manifest my form to show Qin Mu." 　　Her body shook slightly, and a tiger's roar came vaguely from behind her, and a ten foot two hanging white tiger appeared behind her vaguely. 　　"Everyone in the village is a spirit body. Back then, we also glorified it, but now it's just all a bunch of old and wasted old men and women." 　　Granny Si laughed, "There's nothing we old and decrepit old men can give you, these four cups of four spirit blood are the materials to stimulate the spirit body, if you are a White Tiger Spirit Body, drinking the White Tiger Spirit Blood will stimulate the White Tiger's qi in your spirit fetus, and if you are a Vermilion Bird Spirit Body, the Vermilion Bird Spirit Blood will allow the Vermilion Bird's qi in your spirit fetus to become active. The same goes for the Xuanwu Spiritual Body." 　　"Drink." 　　The village chief, Granny Si, and the others looked toward Qin Mu in unison, revealing looks of anticipation. 　　Qin Mu's heart drummed straight away, although he had been doused with an unknown number of strange things when he followed the medicine master to learn how to collect and refine medicines, none of them were as strange as this time. 　　He picked up a white porcelain cup, the spirit blood inside was fiery hot, it was a cup of Vermillion Bird Spirit Blood, Qin Mu drank it all in one go, only to feel a line of fire enter his throat and go straight to his limbs and bones, making him feel in a trance that a blazing fire seemed to ignite inside his body and burned his blood as if it was going to boil. 　　After a moment, this burning sensation dissipated. 　　"Mute, is he a Vermillion Bird Spirit Body?" The village chief asked. 　　The mute blacksmith shook his head. 　　The village chief said, "Qin Mu, continue." 　　Qin Mu printed the second white porcelain cup, which contained White Tiger Spiritual Blood, and drank it into his mouth as if he was drinking copper juice and iron water mixed with iron slag, astringent, tingling, and a tingling sensation all over his body after entering it. Soon, the tingling sensation disappeared. 　　"It's not the White Tiger Spiritual Body." Granny Si shook her head, somewhat disappointed. 　　"Qin Mu, the third cup." The village chief said in a deep voice. 　　Qin Mu drank the third cup of the Green Dragon Spiritual Blood extracted from the Great Green Snake, which made him only feel that his muscles were bulging and swollen, his blood was bulging and swollen, and his internal organs were being squeezed uncomfortably, but the swelling sensation disappeared quickly. 　　Master Ma revealed a disappointed look and shook his head, "It's not the Green Dragon Spirit Body." 　　"Then it must be the Xuanwu Spiritual Body." The pharmacist revealed a rare smile, and his face appeared even more hideous. 　　Qin Mu drank the last cup of Xuanwu Spiritual Blood, which caused his body to lighten up as if he was immersed in river water, yet this feeling also quickly disappeared. 　　"He's not a Xuanwu Spirit Body either." The pharmacist shook his head. 　　The villagers around the bonfire fell silent, and the butcher said, "In that case, he is just plain ordinary." 　　Granny Si suddenly fell into tears and choked, "We are all old and wasted, if we die, he won't be able to live, it's so dangerous here, he won't be able to live for a day ......" 　　Qin Mu pulled her hand and whispered, "Granny, don't cry, granny and grandpa are good people, neither will die ......" 　　"Good people? Hehehe ......" 　　Master Ma laughed to himself and said, "We invalids were forced into the Great Ruins and meticulously survived until now, the Great Ruins are too dangerous, and it is indeed difficult for Mu'er to live without us. We should send him out of the great market, it is much safer outside ......" 　　The butcher coldly said, "Sending him out, we will be discovered by our enemies and will all die, he will also be dragged down by us and will also die." 　　The remnant old village fell silent once again. Suddenly the village chief said, "Good." 　　Granny Si wondered, "What's good?" 　　The village chief revealed a smile, "I said he has a good physique, a good seedling." 　　Butcher, Medicine Master, and the others were stunned, unsure of what he meant, and the village chief laughed, "I think Mu'er should be another kind of physique, the Hegemony Body that combines the strengths of the four major physiques!" 　　"Hegemony Body?" Granny Si and the others revealed a puzzled look, they were all knowledgeable people, but they had never heard of the name Hegemony Body. 　　"Yes, it's the Hegemony Body." 　　The village chief laughed, "Ordinary spirit blood is difficult to inspire the Hegemonic Body, one needs to gather the blood of the true Four Great Spirit Beasts in order for the Hegemonic Body to be revealed. There are no Four Great Spiritual Beasts in the Great Ruins, but the offspring of the spiritual beasts are not hard to find, you guys continue to capture the Fierce Tiger and the Great Snake, refine the spiritual blood, and drink more of it, so you will naturally be able to stimulate his Hegemony Body." 　　The village chief was very authoritative, the old men and women in the village who lacked arms and legs were all very happy to hear this, Granny Si laughed and said, "Tomorrow, I will also accompany the dead cripple to catch tigers! Mu'er, you also go to bed early, you have to drink the spirit blood tomorrow!" 　　The crowd dispersed, the pharmacist and the mute blacksmith sent the village chief back to his room, the mute left, but the pharmacist didn't, whispering, "There's never been a hegemonic body." 　　The village chief nodded, "I'm the one who said it in confidence. It would be hard for the village to survive if I didn't say that." 　　The pharmacist was stunned. The villagers of the Crippled Old Village each had their own origins, but they were all forced to enter the Great Market to come to the Crippled Old Village and live on, they had originally complained about the sky and the earth and the living beings, and their grievances were too heavy, and they were able to live up to this point, so they could not help but say that Qin Mu also had a credit to his name. 　　It is the arrival of this little doll with sound hands and feet, dispersed the resentment in the hearts of the people, everyone raised Qin Mu grew up, will be this little boy as their closest people, Qin Mu maintain the fragile heart of the villagers of the village of the disabled old man. 　　If the villagers knew that Qin Mu was only of the most ordinary physique and couldn't survive in the Great Market on his own, it was only feared that all these guys would lose control, not knowing what they would do. 　　The Medicine Master said expressionlessly, "But you can't hide it for the rest of your life, sooner or later we will all die of old age and only Qin Mu will be left." 　　"So don't you tell him that he has never had a Hegemonic Body, never tell him." 　　The Village Chief said in a deep voice, "Make him believe that he is the unique Hegemony Body!" 　　The pharmacist was stunned and looked closely at his face. The Village Chief's face looked particularly attractive under the dim oil lamp and smiled, "I want to see if an ordinary person with unparalleled faith will transcend the ordinary and do things that even us spirit bodies cannot do! Maybe in the future, he will really be able to walk out on a path where a mortal body is a hegemonic body!" 　　The pharmacist was dumbfounded, "Mortal body is hegemonic body?" 　　The Village Chief nodded heavily, "As long as one has faith, a mortal body is a hegemonic body!"
