Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 388 Sexual Cannibalism
Outside the gate of the Dongli Sect, Xiao Changfeng held Yun Yao with a somber expression.

But there was nothing they could do but watch as the gate closed and Li Ji'an's figure disappeared inside.

He wanted to exchange himself for Li Ji'an to leave, but the Blood Spirit Mother seemed to be deeply in love with him and didn't care to let him stay.

"Sigh!" Xiao Changfeng sighed heavily, a sense of powerlessness washing over him.

"Old Demon..." He gritted his teeth, wanting to make a solemn vow in his heart, but in the end he could only force himself to swallow it.

The late stage of Core Formation is not something he can achieve simply through passion and ruthlessness.

His previous abandonment of the path of cultivation was not due to a lack of resolve, but rather to an objective understanding of the fundamental nature of the cultivation world.

In the Tiancang Domain, unless one rules over at least one state and is supported by that state, as before, there is no hope of advancing to the late stage of Core Formation.

Alternatively, one can only risk their life and take risks, but the chances of survival are slim.

However, he now shoulders the great cause of the restoration of the Biyun Sect, but he cannot risk his life for it.

Moreover, to kill the Blood Spirit Mother and avenge Elder Fang, an ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivator is not enough; at least a Nascent Soul True Monarch is required.

This is a luxury for the entire Tiancang Domain.

"Brother Li, Changfeng is sorry, I failed to take good care of Ping'an." With a mournful cry, Xiao Changfeng carried the unconscious Yun Yao and left dejectedly.

Amidst light gauze curtains and warm tents, surrounded by wine pools and meat forests, Li Ji'an completely emptied his mind as he lay in the hot spring filled with third-level spiritual spring water.

A sheer veil perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure, and the Blood Spirit Mother, resembling a noblewoman, reclined by the spring, personally peeling a spiritual fruit for Li Ji'an.

"Xue'er, I never imagined that the renowned Blood Spirit Mother would have such a tragic birth. It breaks my heart to hear it." Li Ji'an took a bite of the fragrant spiritual fruit and sighed.

After Xiao Changfeng left, Li Ji'an was assigned to the former Supreme Elder's dojo of the Dongli Sect.

The Blood Spirit Mother imposed no restrictions on him; even when Li Ji'an wanted to leave, she only pleaded with him and did not take any forceful action.

However, just like the day Xiao Changfeng left, Li Ji'an didn't dare to try to see the consequences of ignoring his sob story and insisting on leaving.

Therefore, during this period he completely calmed down and observed the situation.

Just like Xiao Changfeng's previous experience, since Li Ji'an moved in, the Blood Spirit Mother has never used any coercive methods.

He also showed no eagerness to have sexual relations with her.

I would just come here occasionally to chat, talk about true feelings in the world, and share the love entanglements in the spiritual community.

Today, she even told Li Ji'an about her tragic past.

Her real name is Mei Yingxue. She was born into a small family that practiced Qi cultivation. In short, she was an illegitimate daughter in the family and suffered a lot of humiliation. Her mother died, and she managed to escape by chance. She had a chance to get by after surviving a near-death experience, but was eventually forcibly abducted by the Blood Spirit Sect.

Then there's the humiliation and hardship endured within the sect, leading to a meteoric rise...

Li Ji'an didn't care whether what he said was true or false, and it didn't matter to him at all.

During this period, he met with Xue Yuan several times and instructed Xue Yuan to do everything possible to find out the Blood Spirit Mother's intentions and motives towards male cultivators.

Before Blood Spirit Mother arrived today, Blood Kite had just reported the results of his investigation to him.

Almost every hundred years, the Blood Spirit Mother will have a lover with whom she will have a passionate affair, after which the lover will disappear without a trace, leaving no trace of her remains.

Apart from this major milestone of a century, at other times, the Blood Spirit Mother would also pay special attention to handsome male cultivators, the higher their cultivation level, the better.

However, before the major milestone of a century, the Blood Spirit Mother did not have a great need for handsome lovers, nor did she place much importance on cultivation level, and she did not make things difficult for most of them.

Upon hearing this information, Li Ji'an felt a sense of relief.

However, Blood Kite soon sent another message: less than three years had passed since the last century-long timeline of Blood Spirit Mother.

Clearly, the Blood Spirit Mother had detained Xiao Changfeng earlier to use him as a tool to be consumed at the upcoming centennial milestone.

Now, Li Ji'an has become a better alternative.

Why is it only once every hundred years?

"If it's not sexual cultivation, then what is it?"

"Could it be that they eat their own kind?"

Li Ji'an was not surprised that he possessed some kind of evil skill, but he could not understand it for the time being based on the limited information available to him.

Fortunately, knowing the centennial timeline gave him some solutions.

Since the goal was to have sex with her at the centennial milestone, Li Ji'an decided to have sex with her before then, so as to gain insight into the secrets of her evil arts.

Only in this way can we better cope with the situation.

"It is because of this experience that I am unwilling to be subservient to anyone any longer, and I vow to ensure that no one here will dare to bully me again." The Blood Spirit Mother's expression was resolute, revealing a genuine emotion.

“We cultivators should do the same!” Li Ji’an echoed.

The Blood Spirit Mother's resolute expression vanished, replaced by a gentle smile as she gazed tenderly at Li Ji'an: "Li Lang understands me." "I want to understand Xue'er more deeply." As she spoke, Li Ji'an suddenly reached out, scooped the Blood Spirit Mother up in his arms, and pulled her into the spiritual spring.

……

If one did not know the century-long timeline, Li Ji'an would have thought that he was using retreat as a tactic to advance, maintaining a detached and ambiguous stance.

But at this moment, he was even more certain of the information provided by Blood Kite.

This indicates that the Blood Spirit Mother indeed intended to keep him at the centennial node to be consumed.

Ignoring their excuses, Li Ji'an wanted to force his way into the pass.

Unfortunately, the Blood Spirit Mother was too clever and never succeeded.

After all, the difference in cultivation level was too great, so even if they were just playing around, he wouldn't gain any advantage.

"Why is Li Lang in such a hurry?" Only when Li Ji'an pretended to be annoyed did the Blood Spirit Mother take the initiative to approach him and comfort him gently.

Li Ji'an tried again, but was dodged once more, and then fell completely silent.

"If Li Lang really wants it, how about I serve you?" The Blood Spirit Mother was not annoyed and stepped forward again, gently stroking Li Ji'an's body.

Before Li Ji'an could think of a suitable reason, he had already slowly squatted down.

……

……

……

An hour later, the Blood Spirit Mother received the message and left.

Li Ji'an frowned deeply.

He deliberately didn't use his magic to control his essence just now, because he wanted to verify whether the other party was after his vital essence.

However, the fact that the other person allowed it to spread all over their face suggests otherwise.

The common practice of female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect to replenish the essence of male cultivators is to focus on the primordial yang, wishing to absorb every last drop into their bodies.

"If it's not Yuan Yang, then what could it be?"

Li Ji'an found it increasingly difficult to fathom the evil magic he practiced.

For the next two weeks, he would repeat the same method every time the Blood Spirit Mother came.

As a result, no matter how much he wasted his vital energy, the other party remained unmoved, and as long as it was not a move to enter the pass, they simply catered to him.

Just when he was completely clueless, Blood Kite sent another piece of information.

After carefully investigating major events over the years, Xue Yuan discovered a secret that had gone unnoticed: ever since the Blood Spirit Mother took charge of the Blood Spirit Sect, the Holy Maiden of the Blood Spirit Sect would mysteriously disappear shortly after each hundred-year cycle.

“My lover, the saintess…” Li Ji’an seemed to be deep in thought.

Now, it is no longer just Li Ji'an's crisis.

Previously, Xue Yuan had obeyed Li Ji'an's orders without question, mainly because of the constraints of the Blood Curse and the Great Oath of the Heart Demon.

However, as long as she has no ulterior motives towards Li Ji'an, even if Li Ji'an dies, she will not suffer any backlash, and may even be freed from this fate.

But now, if Li Ji'an suffers a misfortune, she will be the next victim.

There is a difference between doing things for others and doing things for yourself.

After that, Xueyuan communicated with Li Ji'an more frequently.

Faced with the threat of the Blood Spirit Mother, she had no chance of resisting.

Furthermore, because of the Blood Spirit Mother's Thousand Machine Blood Guiding Secret Technique, she could not escape even if she fled to the ends of the earth.

Now she can only pin her hopes on Li Ji'an.

After all, in her opinion, Li Ji'an's performance in the Dragon Burial Cave already showed that he had the potential to win a direct confrontation with the Blood Spirit Mother.

However, she has never questioned Li Ji'an's current behavior.

She had already witnessed his steady approach in the Dragon Burial Cave, and in her eyes, all his current actions were necessary measures to ensure absolute success.

At the same time, it was precisely because of Li Ji'an's involvement that she did not feel despair about the centennial milestone of the Blood Spirit Mother.
