Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 386 Blood Spirit Holy Mother

As a majestic voice rang out, the local cultivators, who had been somewhat alarmed by the temporary restrictive formation, felt much more at ease.

At the same time, the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators around also relaxed their guard.

Although the demonic cultivation society doesn't have many rules, let alone a small market within the Blood Spirit Sect's territory, even at the foot of the Blood Spirit Sect's mountain, killing and robbing are unavoidable.

However, if members of the Blood Spirit Sect encounter such behavior, they will uphold the law of the jungle and kill the perpetrator.

Li Ji'an's self-introduction reduced this risk.

Furthermore, since it is a battle between real people, cultivators at this level value their lives even more. Unless there is a special interest or grudge, and they have the strength to definitely defeat their opponent, they will not easily engage in a fight.

Therefore, Li Ji'an could deal with Elder Tian with peace of mind.

"Li Ping'an!"

The next moment, Elder Tian led two fake Core Formation cultivators out of the underground chamber and faced Li Ji'an head-on.

"Elders, how have you been?" Li Ji'an looked at the three of them indifferently.

The three of them felt a sudden sense of relief when they realized that Li Ji'an was the only one inside the restriction array.

"Ping An, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by cleaning house?" Zhou Xing frowned, somewhat displeased.

“We watched you grow up, how can you be so rude? When we were on duty at the Biyun Sect, you were just an eight-year-old child.” Another pseudo-core elder rebuked him.

With Elder Tian, ​​a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, present, and the opponent consisting of only one person, their confidence increased significantly.

However, Elder Tian's eyes shifted, and he felt somewhat uneasy.

Li Ji'an must have something to rely on to be able to make such a fuss all by himself.

He was originally a practitioner of health preservation methods and was not good at fighting. Furthermore, his magical power was unstable due to taking the Blood Burning Pill beforehand. Facing Li Ji'an, who was now brimming with magical power, his chances of winning were slim.

Even if he wins by virtue of his cultivation level, the cost would likely be enormous, which does not align with his philosophy as a cultivator focused on health and longevity.

However, upon closer inspection of this temporary magic array, it turned out to be of third-order power, which he could not break through by force.

"Ping An, there might be some misunderstanding during this time." After a moment of contemplation, Elder Tian revealed a helpless smile.

He then explained, “Back then, the Demonic Sect was powerful, and Elder Yunqing sacrificed himself for the cause. At that time, I was a pillar of the Biyun Sect, but I was powerless to face the overwhelming trend. I could only take it upon myself to preserve the sect’s foundation. Now that I am certain that the Demonic Path will no longer purge my sect, I am preparing to return to the sect and use my old body to shine.”

"Oh? May I ask what kind of foundation Elder Tian has preserved for my sect?" Li Ji'an took a step forward, and at the same time, his magical power erupted.

"Old man..."

However, no sooner had he spoken than Li Ji'an's verdant magical power transformed into a long, emerald-green blade, which slashed down from mid-air.

For a cultivator like Elder Tian who is not good at fighting, and whose background is well known, who is old and frail, and who has not yet recovered from the backlash, Li Ji'an does not need to reveal any trump cards. He can be confident of defeating him with 80% of his early Golden Core stage power, plus a few not-so-secret techniques.

Bang!
"How can your magic power be so strong?" Elder Tian was shocked when he used his own magic power to block the attack.

The magical power that Li Ji'an unleashed was several times stronger than that of an ordinary early-stage True Core cultivator.

Its magical power was comparable to that of his peak during the mid-stage of Core Formation.

This not only proves that the quality of his cultivation technique is not low, but also that the quality of his core formation is definitely not low.

"Could it be that a mid-level... or even an upstream True Core has been formed?"

Li Ji'an remained silent and attacked again with his magic.

"Ping An, please have mercy! This old man is willing to return to your sect and be at your mercy." Elder Tian had lost all will to fight and begged for mercy directly.

Meanwhile, the two pseudo-Dan elders who were only affected by the aftershocks of Li Ji'an's magic power were now ashen-faced.

First, they were shocked by the quality of Li Ji'an's Core Formation.

Secondly, they were disappointed by Elder Tian's surrender without a fight.

“Peace, no, I have seen the Supreme Elder. I am guilty and wish to return to my clan for trial!” The two of them immediately followed suit.

The Biyun Sect is currently lacking in talent, and the number of senior guards is extremely limited. Theoretically, it urgently needs these Core Formation Realm cultivators to enrich the sect's foundation.

They also believed that as long as they could return to the sect, even if the previous excuses were no longer valid, they could sincerely apologize and it would only be a temporary act of forbearance. Once they gradually built their own faction and power, they would still be respected sect elders.

"No need! Today, I, the True Immortal, will represent the Biyun Sect to deliver the final judgment on you three traitors!" Li Ji'an resolutely refused.

At the same time, a long-handled sword was drawn.

This is a rank nine magic weapon, a spoil of war obtained in the Wanshang Domain back then. It had been gathering dust at the bottom of my storage bag for a while.

Given his current status, it is quite fitting for him to bring it up now.

With a single slash, the magic weapon unleashed its full power.

Elder Tian's pupils dilated suddenly, and he hurriedly summoned a shield-shaped magic weapon to defend himself.

This is also his biggest trump card, a protective shield made of an eighth-grade magic weapon.

Back then, the Biyun Sect possessed only four magical treasures, and a True Core cultivator was qualified to craft one of them. Elder Tian, ​​however, gave up a nearly third-grade offensive magical treasure and chose an eighth-grade protective magical treasure instead.

Click!

In an instant, a cracking sound made Elder Tian's heart sink.

Under normal circumstances, he could unleash about 80% of the power of an eighth-grade magic weapon with his magic power, but at this moment he was only unleashing about 60% of his magic power.

Li Ji'an possessed abundant and powerful magical energy, and his ninth-grade magic weapon unleashed its full power.

With the added power of Li Ji'an's magic, this strike actually caused a crack to appear on the surface of the eighth-grade magic weapon shield.

"Peace! I apologize to you. When I was competing for the chief disciple, I wasn't targeting you. It was simply because I didn't want Xiao Changfeng's faction to rise to prominence. It had nothing to do with you." In this critical moment, Elder Tian took the initiative to bring up the matter from back then.

Li Ji'an remained expressionless; he did not hold a grudge about what happened back then.

As someone who has already lived six lifetimes, and barring unforeseen circumstances, there will be countless more six lifetimes in the future. If one keeps every little unpleasant thing in mind, it will only burden oneself with too many meaningless things, increase one's mental and physical exhaustion, and will not help one's carefree state of mind or the goal of becoming an immortal for all eternity.

Elder Tian had lost all will to fight and was only able to dodge and parry.

In the end, Li Ji'an used the Binding God Rope, a prototype of the magic weapon given to him by Xiao Changfeng, to bind him and broke through his protective magic shield with a single blow.

Before Elder Tian could threaten to self-destruct his dantian, Li Ji'an struck him with a soul piercing blow, causing his sea of ​​consciousness to tremble, and then shattered his dantian with a single blow.

As for the two fake Dan elders, they didn't even have the slightest power to resist, and were beheaded by Li Ji'an with a single blow.

Li Ji'an then collected the three corpses, their remnants of souls, and their respective storage bags, intending to take them back to his sect.

After the duel ended, Li Ji'an put away the chessboard formation, ignored the surrounding gazes, and headed straight for the Blood Spirit Gate.

Half a month later, the Dongli Sect's dojo came into view, and Ning Sujin once again entered the universe within Guagua's mouth.

Although her "Deceiving Heaven" divine technique was already at level three, coupled with the power of her own primordial spirit, theoretically cultivators below the True Monarch level would find it difficult to detect her. However, the sect's territory was filled with various formations, making it difficult to infiltrate silently.

Li Ji'an arrived at the Blood Spirit Sect alone to present his visiting card. With Ning Sujin's divination having averted a life-or-death crisis beforehand, and with Xue Yuan's inside help, he was about to meet the infamous Blood Spirit Mother, so he didn't have much negative emotion.

"Biyun Sect? Is that the sect in Cangyun Prefecture on the border?" Li Ji'an had just handed over his visiting card when he happened to see a True Core level elder coming out.

"Exactly."

"Who gave you the audacity to come to the Holy Gate? In your eyes, shouldn't my Holy Gate be a demon that sucks life essence?" The other party stared at Li Ji'an, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"My sect elders have some misunderstandings with the Holy Mother, and I, Li, have come to discuss this with her." Having already learned some secrets of the Blood Spirit Sect through the Blood Kite, Li Ji'an ignored the provocation and calmly stated his purpose.

"Heh~ My lord has quite the courage, which I find rather admirable." The other party suddenly smiled charmingly, her change of attitude remarkably smooth.

"It would be my honor." Li Ji'an nodded slightly.

"Bring me the visiting card, and I will personally take you to meet Her Majesty the Holy Mother."

"Thank you, fairy." Li Ji'an had already anticipated the change in the other party's attitude before he arrived.

Although the Blood Spirit Sect mainly cultivates Blood Fiend, its cultivation methods differ from ordinary Blood Fiend techniques, leaning more towards Yin Blood Fiend. Therefore, the Blood Spirit Sect is primarily composed of female cultivators.

Moreover, according to Xue Yuan, the superiors set an example for the inferiors. With the Blood Spirit Mother as an example, many elders and disciples in the sect are quite dissolute when it comes to male lovers.

Li Ji'an was not arrogant about his appearance and figure, but he also had an objective understanding that it was hard not to be coveted by the witches in this place.

"Chang'an Zhenren? Heh~ Fellow Daoist, that Daoist title has a good meaning." On the way into the Blood Spirit Sect, the other party casually flipped through the visiting cards.

"My name is Forget-Worry. Our Taoist names do have something in common. Could it be fate?"

Li Ji'an smiled faintly: "Then I wonder if this fate is a good one or a bad one."

“That is naturally a good connection.” Wangyou smiled gently, quite confidently.

"In that case, I must ask the fairy to help me negotiate with the Holy Mother," Li Ji'an said solemnly.

This was not just a joke; it was Li Ji'an communicating with Xue Yuan, who was in seclusion on Saintess Peak, through their spiritual connection after learning her Daoist name.

Xue Yuan revealed that this Forget-Worry was actually a favorite of the Blood Spirit Mother.

She almost became the Blood Spirit Saintess.

Wangyou raised an eyebrow and smiled: "My lord, you flatter me. The will of the Holy Mother is beyond my control. All I can do is lead you to her."

“That’s enough,” Li Ji’an replied with a smile.

Before long, the two arrived at the once glorious main hall of the Dongli Sect.

The difference is that the once magnificent and solemn hall has been transformed by the Blood Spirit Mother into a veiled room covered with red gauze.

The entire gauze room was filled with a thick aura of bloodlust, and there was even a visible surge of blood energy.

"Forget your worries and pay homage to the Holy Mother."

As Wangyou bowed in reverence, countless blood-stained veils fluttered in the air.

"Hehe~ Forget-Me-Not girl is truly filial, finding such a beautiful and charming man for this old woman so quickly. You've worked hard, you've worked hard." The Blood Spirit Mother's alluring voice rang out, and although she called herself "this old woman," her voice was like that of a young girl in her prime.

"Holy Mother, please forgive me. I was just about to go out today. This person came to me on his own." Wangyou hurriedly explained and then handed over the visiting card.

Then, there was a moment of silence inside.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ The Azure Cloud Sect is truly a wondrous holy land. I can't help but yearn for it." A moment later, the voice of the Blood Spirit Holy Mother came from inside again.

This time, his voice was filled with boundless longing and anticipation.

hum~
The next moment, Li Ji'an suddenly sensed an invisible, immense power erupting.

They swept him up and dragged him into the blood-stained room.

This power was the strongest he had ever felt, almost on par with the explosive attack of that invisible puppet.

This is enough to show that the Blood Spirit Mother has come very close to the combat power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

A cultivator who has lived for seven hundred years and has reached the Core Formation stage is indeed not to be underestimated.

They cannot be considered to be in the same league as Venerable Chun Yuan, who is at the late stage of Core Formation.

However, he also sensed extremely strong traces of blood essence refinement in this invisible power, which clearly indicated that it possessed such power only because of the enhancement of blood essence.

"Young master, please sit down." Almost instantly, Li Ji'an was already inside the Blood Veil Room. Opposite him was a voluptuous and beautiful woman, dressed only in a thin veil, looking at Li Ji'an with eyes full of amazement.

"Li Chang'an, the Supreme Elder of the Biyun Sect, pays his respects to the Blood Spirit Mother." Li Ji'an steadied himself and cupped his hands in greeting to the Blood Spirit Mother.

As he felt the aura of the Blood Spirit Mother up close, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

It is uncertain where Ning Sujin's divination prediction of auspicious signs will manifest.

After all, judging from the aura of the Blood Spirit Mother alone, even if he used all his trump cards, he probably wouldn't be confident of victory.

Moreover, such a long-lived old monster must have a profound foundation. When facing such a person, let alone asking him to go above his level, he would try his best to avoid even going to someone of the same level.

"Good, good, the sect is truly full of talented people, I am very surprised." Blood Spirit Mother unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, her eyes seemed to be imprinted on Li Ji'an's face.

At the same time, a question arose in my mind.

Her first encounter with the Biyun Sect was with Zhao Qi, who happened to visit the Boundless Domain almost two hundred years ago.

At that time, Zhao Qi had mistakenly entered the forbidden area of ​​the Blood Spirit Sect and was about to be killed when she happened to sense him with her divine sense.

Zhao Qi's chiseled features and refined demeanor startled her, and she immediately set her sights on winning him over.

After a series of attempts, she finally got her wish and almost drained his essence. Unfortunately, she died unexpectedly when he tried to completely extract his core.

The second one is Xiao Changfeng, who came to our door some time ago.

This wasn't the first time she had met Xiao Changfeng. Years ago, Zhao Qi suddenly sent her a message, asking her to help kill Xiao Changfeng.

She initially sent Lin Xiuzhu to kill Xiao Changfeng, but Xiao Changfeng was lucky and was saved by someone else.

She then casually killed that person.

At that time, she was already connected with Zhao Qi's heart, so she didn't pay special attention to a mere cultivator who had just achieved the True Core stage.

However, some time ago, Xiao Changfeng actually came looking for him.

His spirit of traveling thousands of miles to find his beloved stirred her heart. His sharp features and dark skin made him appear so masculine and resolute that she was instantly captivated.

Unfortunately, he harbored deep prejudice and resentment towards her, blaming her for killing his mentor and close friend.

However, she was not in a hurry. Nowadays, handsome men at the True Core level are rare in the world. If she wanted to obtain his most precious essence, she had to win his heart first so that his essence would flow out with love. Only then could she achieve the great success of her Blood Fiend Divine Art!
And now, a younger, more powerful, more vigorous, and more handsome and mighty Li Ji'an has appeared.
