The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1121

No Other Choice

The method Jonathan was talking about was to use the Holy Blood of Remdik’s Sanctuary.

According to Ksana, Holy Blood was a liquid secreted by the Remdik Emperor’s heart, which needed to be distilled through a special technique to produce the drug they needed.

It could be used as a catalyst for cultivators during cultivation by improving the circulation of vitality and strengthening their bodies.

However, it did have a fatal weakness, which was exhausting the cultivator’s body.

Jonathan had had an in-depth talk with Ksana about Holy Blood’s properties.

Considering that she had grown up in Sanctuary since she was young, the people of the organization trusted Ksana and the others who had been brainwashed since they were children.

Otherwise, they would not have assigned any important positions or assignments to Ksana and the others.

Among these assignments were some documents that did not involve any organizational secrets.

Ksana had seen a document that had a detailed record of Sanctuary’s research on Holy Blood over the years.

Though the report didn’t include any scientific theories for the drug, it highlighted two characteristics of Holy Blood.

Firstly, any Grandmaster Realm cultivator who took enough Holy Blood had an eighty percent chance of breaking through the God Realm spirit shield and becoming a God Realm cultivator.

Secondly, the lifespans of the cultivator who took Holy Blood would decrease significantly. Some might not even be able to live longer than the average man.

The second point was much more terrifying.

After all, even though cultivators at that moment, such as Quintus, lived the longest, the oldest a cultivator could get was a little over a hundred years old. Even those who lived to be a hundred and fifty were rare.

Naturally, such a lifespan was not proportional to the powers of a God Realm cultivator

Besides, it had been recorded in the ancient books that the cultivators of ancient times took at least sixty years for their solitary cultivation.

No one could tell for sure that one could successfully have a breakthrough even after solitary cultivation in modern times, but others could definitely convey their condolences during their death anniversaries.

The cultivators of the current time had too low of a life expectancy. All in all, it was something that could bring change to cultivating.

Back in the past, the world was rich with treasures. One could even find thousand-year-old medicine just by walking down the road.

No one would have cared if someone had gotten their hands on the resources and gone into solitary cultivation.

However, there was a lack of spiritual energy resources in the present day. Even spirit stones had become rare, much less the other much valuable treasures.

Furthermore, as one’s cultivation level and Realm increased, the number of resources one needed naturally increased.

In an era with a deficiency of spiritual energy, cultivators needed to fight for whatever they needed if they wanted to grow stronger.

Only through fights could they get more resources.

Nevertheless, who could guarantee that there would not be any injuries on their bodies after countless battles?

Even someone like Seboxia, a cultivator who could reconstruct his body, had to hang on to dear life as he lay in a coffin, let alone other Divine Realm cultivators.

This was also the reason why there were rarely any Divine Realm cultivators out and about in Chanaea.

The number of resources they needed was too much, be it for battles or cultivation.

Worse still, if they had gotten injured in a battle, even if there was a cure for them, the medicinal herbs needed had already gone extinct and were nowhere to be found.

The cultivator world was just like a fine sieve, constantly eliminating cultivators one after another.

Those who managed to live were all ruthless beings who had survived countless battles in their lives.

The era of ancient times, where one could just find a random spot and gain the Heavenly Way, had long passed.

Yet, such a complicated situation did not prolong a cultivator’s life by much.
