I got Possessed by the Tentacle God

"BOOM!"

The barrier that had been preventing his spiritual Qi from entering his Dantian finally collapsed under the relentless thunderous crash of the huge stream being directed against it. As it did so torrents of warm energy filled his Dantian quickly fusing with it as if it had always belonged there.

Just as Tia Zhu was immersing himself in the comfortable feeling, a sharp pain immediately hit him. The warm feeling suddenly intensified turning into a hot searing pain that spread throughout his entire body. He felt sharp stabbing pains throughout his entire body as every strand of his muscle fibers continuously ripped apart before connecting back together, increasing their strength each time they did so.

"AHHHHHHHH" Tie Zhu roared, unable to contain his voice any longer. If one were to look at him right now they would his skin visibly crawling while his skin in some areas was tearing apart, leaking blood and a strange black substance. This whole process lasted around 5 minutes before finally coming to a stop.

When the pain finally died down, Tie Zhu was laying face down on the floor in exhaustion that had been caused by his consistent screaming and thrashing about. Taking deep breaths he eventually restored his calm before noticing that his entire body was covered in a mix of blood and a thick black substance. The resulting stench was so putrid that he had no choice but to leave the confines of the cave.

As soon as he left the cave he inhaled a huge breath of fresh air, before scanning his surroundings. 'Huh, everything seems so much clearer now' He thought to himself, amazed that he could see even the finer details of a leaf on a tree 10 meters away.

"Why didn't you tell me that the first step would be so painful!" Tie Zhu suddenly exclaimed, remembering the pain he felt just moments ago. "And also, you said that the bottle should last until I reach the fourth stage of Qi refinement. It barely allowed me to just break through to the first stage!"

In fact, while the whole process was unfolding, Wang Yazhu was observing him the whole time. He had never expected that he would be able to control and direct so much spiritual essence in one go, especially in that last final push where he directly consumed 20% of the remaining liquid. The fact that the entire process only took him less than 5 hours genuinely surprised him.

"I honestly did not expect you to break through that fast, well done. As for why it was painful, I guess it's the price that you have to pay especially using the technique I gave you. Although the method is quick it does not fully prepare your body like other techniques, so that when you finally broke the barrier the transformation all happened at once. The Qi condensation stage is mainly focused on strengthening your body, improving all your physical attributes and strengthening it with the Qi you accumulate. As for why you only broke through to the first stage... It should probably have to do with your Pure Yang body. It seems that you need at least ten times the amount of resources when compared with ordinary people."

"TEN TIMES!!" Tie Zhu cried, as he thought miserably about his future, however his mood suddenly brightened up the next moment. 'That's right, I should now be able to access the black rock!'

"Hey, now that I have finally reached the Qi condensation stage I should be able to access that spatial rock. How do I input divert my spiritual energy into it?" Tie Zhu questioned.

"That should be easy, just try controlling your essence just like you did when you were breaking through, however this use your Dantian as the source. Before you do that though remember to set up the blood connection with the stone otherwise nothing will happen." Wang Yazhu reminded.

Upon hearing the instructions Tie Zhu immediately retrieved the small black stone from his school bag. As soon as he reached for the stone, it immediately reacted to his touch as there was still blood mixed with black tar on his hands. With the connection established Tie Zhu did exactly as Wang Yazhu instructed creating a small stream of essence and linking it directly to the stone, however he found that controlling this strand was a lot more simple than the struggles he had to go through earlier as if it were completely tamed.

"....." As soon as Tie Zhus mind searched the contents of the ring his mind went completely blank. He was utterly speechless. He had never seen such a vast amount of treasures, where strange artifacts emitting strong auras were scattered as far as he could see! There was even an entire lake of pristine water that glowed unnaturally, emitting a comfortable atmosphere and strange foods that he could not even describe all giving off irresistible smells that caused his stomach to rumble in hunger. In another section he also noticed four huge mounds of brightly glowing stones, where in each pile progressively had larger and brighter stones.

"What are those! Tie Zhu exclaimed as he noticed that they exuded strong amounts of Spiritual Qi.

"They are spirit stones, and are generally the currency of cultivators. I have divided the stones into four piles as there are four different grades of spirit stones, low-tier, medium-tier, high-tier and top-tier. Each tier higher is worth about 10 times the amount of it lower counterpart, so a medium-tier stone would be worth 10 low-tier stones and a top-tier would be worth 1000 low-tier stones! In my collection I have around 56 million low-tier stones, 43 million medium-tier stones, 22.5 million high-tier stones and 19.3 million top-tier stones! To put that in perspective, the amount of Spiritual essence in that bottle was only equivalent to 2 high tier stones." Wang Yazhu proudly boasted. These treasures was what he was most proud of and had spent his life collecting. It was enough to rival almost any god, which truly made him proud. This however was with the exception of one race! The primordial dragons. Those greedy monsters, not only thwarted him once by beating him at his own game but twice, as his collection could be considered poor when compared to them (1st time beating him at his own game was when he was raped in case you forgot). It was simply unfair! he thought to himself.

"SO MUCH @#[email protected]%@" Tie Zhu swore unable to believe his luck. This was as if he hit the biggest jackpot in the world! It was simply incomprehensible. It was then that he finally understood why Wang Yazhu called the spirit bottle insignificant, because that was equivalent to comparing an ant to a whale! 'I'M RICH, it seems that i wont have to worry about my future finances any more. I can finally take the taxi.. No, I can buy my own car!!' He thought to himself completely forgetting that he needed 10 times the amount of resources as others.

"Oh that's right, where is the dragon essence that you mentioned earlier" Tie Zhu said as he recalled his main purpose for now, as he scanned the sea of treasures unsure of what to look for.

"I've set it in its own special location, focus your mental energy around 10 km southwest from here, it should be in its own location so it should be relatively easy to find." Wang Yazhu replied.

Doing as instructed, Tie Zhu quickly diverted his mental energy to that location. Quickly he found what he was looking for.

The Primordial Dragon's Blood Essence!
