Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 390 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount
While Blood Spirit Mother absorbed Li Ji'an's vital energy with her primordial yin, she activated the Thousand Machine Blood Induction, directly targeting Li Ji'an's life core essence.

The life core essence is the root of the dantian, the beginning of the human body, and also the place where the innate qi before a person is born is stored.

The primordial yang fire needed for the phoenix's rebirth can only be fueled by this.

To obtain this source, one must first obtain the primordial yang, and one must actively cooperate in the early stages; otherwise, no matter how high one's cultivation level, it will be impossible to forcibly obtain it.

The Blood Spirit Mother has obtained the essence cores of others no less than ten times in her life. Apart from the eight Nirvana rebirths required, there were also several non-century-old milestones. She is now more than confident in this process.

Moreover, Phoenix Blood always adopts a cold and disdainful attitude when facing the essence of male cultivators.

However, this time, the unfamiliar aura emanating from Li Ji'an's body caused her phoenix blood to tremble, and she even felt some fear.

At this moment, she is dominated by Phoenix Blood, and the changes in Phoenix Blood directly affect her physical body.

Moreover, in the critical moment, Feng Xue pushed her blood-red aura forward to shield her.

Normally, once she begins absorbing the essence of others, it would only take her seven days and seven nights to completely complete the process; this is the efficiency of Phoenix Blood in refining the essence of others.

However, at this moment, the inexplicable energy within Li Ji'an's body was drawing away her blood essence at a rate 50% higher than that of the Phoenix Blood.

"Stop!" A moment later, the Blood Spirit Mother realized the situation and her expression changed drastically.

The most tragic thing is that once she activated the Phoenix Blood, she was no longer in control of her own destiny.

His immense magical power was completely unusable.

"It's done!" Xue Yuan was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it yet, since the Blood Spirit Mother was not completely dead.

Li Ji'an relaxed at this moment, and looked at the Blood Spirit Mother riding on his back with a smile.

The Blood Spirit Mother was now in a difficult situation, her once dignified and noble face now twisted and violent.

"No, stop...stop it now!"

His roar at that moment sounded so powerless.

……

……

……

However, just three days later, the Blood Spirit Holy Mother's primordial yin essence was completely drained.

His aura plummeted instantly, making him appear like an ordinary mortal.

Li Ji'an finally managed to completely gather the true dragon's essence blood again and extricate himself.

The next moment, the Blood Spirit Mother, who had fallen to the ground, aged rapidly, looking decades older in the blink of an eye, transforming from a noblewoman in her thirties into a withered old woman.

Even though Li Ji'an was used to the fleeting nature of youth and the passing of beautiful women, this extremely short experience still left him with some lingering trauma.

Fortunately, the joy and benefits that came from the absorption of the phoenix's essence by the true dragon's blood essence overcame the chill.

"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining the true spirit essence blood again!" Xue Yuan finally stopped suppressing her joy and respectfully bowed to Li Ji'an.

"You...you..." Blood Spirit Mother gasped weakly, staring at Blood Kite in disbelief.

Li Ji sat quietly in the spirit pool, urging the dragon blood to refine the absorbed phoenix blood, only giving Xue Yuan a wink.

Blood Kite immediately came to Blood Spirit Mother and looked down at the Blood Spirit Mother who had always been high and mighty: "You should feel honored to die at the hands of the Lord."

"My Lord...it's him!" Suddenly, the Blood Spirit Mother realized.

She forced her head up to look at Li Ji'an: "You successfully seized the opportunity at the Dragon Burial Cave. It was you who subdued the true dragon's blood essence. It was also at that time that you recognized him as your master and helped him cover up the truth about the deaths of Lin Xiuzhu and the other person!"

Xue Yuan looked at Blood Spirit Mother with little surprise. If she still couldn't figure out the whole story by now, she wouldn't deserve the title of Blood Spirit Mother.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Ji'an frowned slightly. Even if a person is about to die, as long as he is not dead, knowing his secrets makes him uneasy.

Moreover, it also involves the holy sons of two major demonic sects.

"Yes!" Blood Kite no longer hesitated and immediately took action.

Having lived for over a thousand years, the Blood Spirit Mother had lost her source core, and her Core Formation Grandmaster power had lost its foundation. She was utterly powerless to resist, and her dantian was shattered by a single blow from the Blood Kite. With another blow, her sea of ​​consciousness collapsed.

Having confirmed that he was beyond dead, Li Ji'an quietly used the Faceless Mask to collect a wisp of essence blood and soul, and then unleashed a Blazing Flame Talisman, burning his physical body and remnant soul to ashes.

Li Ji'an no longer cared about what happened afterward, but only instructed Xue Yuan to find an opportunity to let Guagua, who was always waiting for orders outside the sect, in.

Three months later, news spread throughout the world that the Blood Spirit Mother had died and her soul had vanished due to the growth of inner demons during her cultivation.

Six months later, the Blood Spirit Sect experienced a bloody storm.

Ultimately, the current Blood Spirit Saintess, Xue Yuan, relied on two third-tier puppets and a demonic beast that appeared to be a third-tier great demon to become the new Blood Spirit Saint Mother.

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord!" On the day of the coronation of the Virgin Mary, Xue Yuan came to Li Ji's quiet meditation place and respectfully bowed in gratitude.

At the same time, the two third-tier puppets were returned.

"It was just a matter of chance." Li Ji'an put away the puppet without saying anything more.

"My lord, I will serve you tonight." Xue Yuan took another step forward, her words carrying a hint of expectation.

After killing the Blood Spirit Mother last time, in order to secure his position as the Mother, he asked Li Ji'an for the True Dragon Blood Fiend.

Out of fear of the Blood Spirit Sect, Li Ji'an decided to support Xue Yuan to take power.

Now that the great matter has been accomplished, the grudges of the previous Blood Spirit Mother have dissipated, and there are almost no future troubles.

"No need, just do your own thing," Li Ji'an refused expressionlessly.

Just as Blood Spirit Mother was about to speak again, she suddenly sensed a hidden aura coming from the room behind Li Ji'an.

She recognized the aura; it was the same woman in brocade robes she had seen in the Dragon Burial Cave years ago, whom she believed to be Li Ji'an's Nascent Soul level trump card.

She immediately shut her mouth, bowed her head, and left the temple.

"Husband, Xueyuan is young and beautiful, and she is also a mid-stage Core Formation True Person. Now she is in charge of a sect. She is a rare female cultivator in this area and will surely be able to carry on your family line." As soon as Xueyuan left, Ning Sujin appeared beside Li Ji'an, massaging his shoulders as she spoke gently.

Li Ji'an couldn't help but chuckle. Ning Sujin came from a feudal imperial family and had the idea of ​​carrying on her husband's family line in her bones. In addition, she was unable to bear children for Li Ji'an, so she was particularly concerned about this matter.

“Su Jin, we are now in the cultivation world. We should no longer have such thoughts. Mortals pass on their lineage by continuing their own bloodline, but we cultivators have the hope of longevity and can continue our bloodline entirely on our own. Why should we rely on offspring?”

Upon hearing this, Ning Sujin was slightly lost in thought. She knew that Li Ji'an was right, but her deeply ingrained beliefs from the Xianci Dynasty were difficult to eradicate completely.

“Mother, Father is right. Besides, you have me; you don’t need any other children.” Suddenly, a fist-sized black shadow flew out of Ning Sujin’s mind and hovered around Li Ji’an and Ning Sujin.

It was the remnant soul of a true dragon.

As he spoke, he also tried to get closer to Li Ji'an.

The moment it saw Li Ji'an again with Ning Sujin half a year ago, it sensed that the aura of the same origin on Li Ji'an was even stronger and clearer.

Unfortunately, no matter what methods it used, Li Ji'an refused to let it in, making it scratch its head in frustration. Recently, it has been in such a fawning and ingratiating manner.

"Snap!" Just as it was about to get close to Li Ji'an's body, it was gently waved by Li Ji'an and sent flying several feet away.

Then, looking aggrieved, she ran behind Ning Sujin.

This scene made Guagua, who was sunbathing in the spirit pool, secretly chuckle, and his lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.

However, after a quick glance, the dragon soul hurriedly suppressed its smile, closed its eyes, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Two months later, Li Ji'an's vitality reached a new high. The true dragon's essence blood was already incomplete, and after millions of years of erosion, it was already very weak when Li Ji'an obtained it.

Over the next thirteen years, thanks to the nourishment of Li Ji'an's own essence and blood, he recovered somewhat.

Now that it has completely devoured the drop of phoenix essence blood in the Blood Spirit Mother's body, it is much purer. Both the blood energy it carries and the efficiency of absorbing and nourishing Li Ji'an's blood energy have greatly improved.

This laid a solid foundation for his physical cultivation efficiency.

In the following years, in addition to continuing to refine his qi and blood, Li Ji'an also settled in this spiritual energy field, which was even better than that of the Biyun Sect. With the spiritual resources accumulated over thousands of years by the Blood Spirit Sect provided by Xue Yuan, he steadily improved his Golden Core cultivation.

Until this day, a message from Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Qiao, one after the other, suddenly made him alert...
