Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

An hour later, Cao Mao finished implanting his golden seed to his wives. Unlike the usual, he only did it once with each girl as his semen contained the gold element Qi, which might be harmful to the girls had they absorbed too much.

Because of the deed, the pressure in his dantian and his blood vessels had been temporarily relieved. Cao Mao sat cross-legged, feeling his gold blood and gold element Qi in his veins to adjust its balance.

Zhang Junyi ’s curse spell finally wore off as well. As soon as the spell no longer sealed Cao Mao ’s power, the gold element Qi exploded.

Cao Mao ’s skin color changed from brown to gold. However, his body slowly shrunk as the muscle fibers became compact and gotten tougher.

Yet, the evolution process was uncomfortable. Everything in his body became stiff to the point that Cao Mao thought that he had become a rock.

A few seconds later, Cao Mao had finally located the problem. It came from his golden blood!

The gold element Qi and the golden blood inside him started petrifying Cao Mao from the inside, slowly turning him into a lump of gold!

Sensing the crisis, Cao Mao drank more spring water, hoping to cleanse the hardening muscle and blood.

It worked as Cao Mao had guessed. The spring water maintained his fluid balance, stopping his body from the petrification effect.

Still, it was not enough. The gold element Qi kept surging as his bone marrow continued to produce more golden blood cells.

The problem was no longer about containing his energy in his body. It was the side effect and the constitution balance, aka his foundation. Unless Cao Mao could control his bone marrow to stop producing more golden blood and gold element Qi, his body would soon turn into a gold rock because of his weird self-taught cultivation method.

Since the bone marrow contained the stem cells of red blood cells, white blood cells, and many pathogens that maintained the lifespan of the entire body, using an advanced element Qi to refine his bone marrow when he was still at 4th-stage wasn ’t a practical method.

If refining bone marrow with advanced element Qi had been practical, many cultivators would have used it to refine their blood with advanced element Qi long ago.

For example, had Liu Bian refined his bone marrow with his shadow element Qi, his bone marrow would have produced rotten blood, which might kill him from the inside. The same applied to Zhang Junyi ’s plasma element or Li Jue ’s semen element. These types of element Qi weren ’t compatible with mammal ’s bone marrow unless they had ascended to the nascent soul realm when they started to search for a way to create a spiritual constitution to replace the physical body.
