Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 130 Demonic Calamity and Beast Tide
To advance further, he would need to fuse with a fifth-tier soul treasure. Although he possesses such a treasure, he is currently unable to handle treasures of this level.

"Xiao Bei, how's the success rate at the Pharmacy lately?" Su You asked.

After consolidating the power of various families, he immediately ordered the gathering of a group of alchemists to learn how to refine bloodline potions.

The process of refining potions and pills has subtle similarities. Both require a high level of control over one's own spiritual sense, so only alchemists at the Foundation Establishment stage or higher can attempt to refine potions.

"Master, most cultivators have now achieved a 30% success rate in refining bloodline potions," Xiao Bei replied carefully, displaying detailed data in front of him.

After reading it, Su You shook his head helplessly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the success rate has now reached 30%, most of it is achieved by piling up materials.

That's normal, though. The methods for alchemy and potion making are very different. This success rate is barely enough. We'll need to train them properly in the future.

Although Su You's success rate in refining bloodline potions was very high, he was ultimately just one person, without three heads and six arms, and it was impossible for him to waste time on the preparation of such ordinary potions.

Once the natal wizard tower is built and the secret realm is opened, Su You will select a group of mortals with outstanding aptitude and send them into the wizard tower for closed training to learn the wizard system, at least to cultivate some capable people.

"Let's begin the bloodline experiment," Su You calmly directed, looking at the light screen.

After he gave the order, Beckham relayed the message to his disciples through the communication system.

Immediately afterwards, bottles of medicine were distributed to the selected disciples.

The disciples looked bewildered upon receiving the brightly colored potion.

Although the family had already informed them of the relevant information, they still hesitated upon seeing it.

However, the few elderly cultivators quickly took the lead and drank the bloodline potion in one gulp.

The moment they swallowed the bloodline potion, their bodies underwent drastic changes.

First, it expanded continuously, producing demonic characteristics, and then gradually stabilized, with the original demonic characteristics gradually shrinking.

During the contraction process, their bodies greedily devoured the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish their functions and nutrients.

"Xiao Bei, temporarily increase the spiritual energy concentration in this area by two levels."

After Su You gave the order, a large amount of spiritual energy rushed in and was absorbed by the cultivators who were undergoing transformation.

In a short time, the bloodline modification was completed, and they had successfully implanted the bloodline of the demon beast.

"It turned out to be true!"

"They've all gotten younger!"

"There's a terrifying aura about them!"

……

People around were talking amongst themselves, curious to see how the person who drank the potion would react.

Just as the patriarch of the family said, it can restore one's youth and lifespan, and also enhance one's strength.

The price is that these people have very faint demonic beast characteristics, which may not be noticeable unless you look closely.

That's right! Su You's bloodline potion is now very mature, and he won't have such obvious symptoms after taking the potion as before.

Of course, if they transform, the demonic features on their bodies will not reappear; they will simply remain hidden within their bodies, not truly disappear.

After confirming that there were no problems, one cultivator after another took the medicine, and vortexes of spiritual energy floated above, cleansing their bodies.

Not everyone succeeds; occasionally, a few explosions can be heard, clearly indicating that the transformation failed after taking the bloodline potion, and the body exploded in the end.

Overall, after Su You improved the bloodline potion, both its effectiveness and success rate were very high.

Of the first batch of one hundred cultivators, ninety-two succeeded. Now, each of them has bulging muscles and looks like a miniature Vajra.

This is a bloodline potion made using the essence blood of a first-tier Mighty Dragon Ape, so it is suitable for a strength-based bloodline mage.

However, various types of bloodline sorcerers will definitely be added in the future, otherwise they will be too easily countered.

Su You estimated that even these cultivators who were nearing the end of their lifespan had their lifespan increased by several decades after using the bloodline potion. Although they could not compare to real demon beasts, they were obviously longer than humans.

In addition, these people also need to constantly train and develop their bloodline. He is using the blood essence of a first-tier peak Great Dragon Ape, and theoretically, he has the opportunity to advance to the first-tier peak.

Looking at these bloodline sorcerers, Su You recalled a special kind of witchcraft he had recently seen in the inheritance, which could temporarily fuse these bloodline sorcerers and transform them into primordial bloodline life forms.

For example, a level 11 sorcerer, after fusion, may transform into a level 2 Mighty Dragon Ape. If more bloodline sorcerers are fused, it may even transform into a level 3 or even level 4 Mighty Dragon Ape.

The drawback is that only sorcerers of the same bloodline can use it. In addition, after use, the blood essence of these bloodline cultivators will be extracted. If the time is too long, the blood essence of their entire body will be drained.

If used properly, this method is more powerful than many high-powered witchcraft spells.

For wizards, even cannon fodder can be utilized to the fullest extent.

There are many ways to use a bloodline mage, and he still needs to learn them gradually.

After testing several batches and confirming the stability of the bloodline potion, Su You stopped worrying about it and handed everything over to his subordinates and Xiao Bei for coordination.

These bloodline sorcerers are not needed for the time being, but there will be an opportunity to use them soon.

In the following period, Su You began to devote himself to seclusion, eagerly absorbing the inheritance of wizardry and weapon crafting.

……

"Master, we have important information!"

Su You heard Xiao Bei's voice.

"What is it?" He was not distracted by this, and his hands did not stop moving in the slightest. One restriction after another was cast into the magic weapon.

"A demonic calamity has erupted in Qingzhou, and half of its territory has already been invaded by the demonic realm." A demonic calamity!

A glint flashed in Su You's eyes, and he said, "Tell me the details."

Since Beckham came to report, he must have gathered relevant information.

"According to the information passed on by those rogue cultivators, it was the Blood Abyss Organization that summoned fifth-tier demons from the Upper Realm through an ancient passage in the Flowing Cloud Mountains. In just half a month, they corrupted most of Qingzhou's land with their demonic influence. More than a dozen Nascent Soul sects were wiped out, and even the Void Heaven Sect was powerless to defend itself. Now, a large number of rogue cultivators have fled to Yunting Lake." Xiao Bei revealed all the relevant information. "Moreover, after the demonic calamity broke out, beast nests also appeared in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. Fortunately, they were not heading towards Qingzhou, but rather attacking the two surrounding states."

With both demonic calamities and beast tides looming, Su You felt a sense of impending doom.

The location where the demonic disaster broke out is very likely the same place that was sealed back then. It was thought that the passage had been abandoned, but it was unexpected that it could still be used.

Moreover, the simultaneous outbreak of the demonic calamity and the beast tide must have been premeditated, clearly indicating that the Blood Abyss organization was involved in the conspiracy.

If the Void Heaven Sect were unable to resist the demonic calamity, it would have sought help from familiar sects in the surrounding continents. However, now, even if it sought help, it could not send any manpower.

However, even if the two surrounding states are unable to provide support, they can still seek help from forces in other states through the teleportation array.

Moreover, the foundation of the Void Heaven Sect over tens of thousands of years is no joke. Although the sect has only produced one Nascent Soul expert, the accumulation of such a long period of time should be enough to withstand the attack of a fifth-order demon for a period of time, enough to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

However, Su You can't go back now. He had already applied to the sect for training outside, and even if the sect summoned him, they couldn't bring him back.

Moreover, with his current strength, going there would be of no use, since the opponent was a fifth-level demon, which he couldn't handle at his current level.

For Su You, this chaotic situation might be a good thing, since chaos allows him to take advantage of the confusion, break through the original limitations, and create more opportunities.

Thinking of this, Su You immediately gave orders to his subordinates to prepare and continue to increase the number of bloodline sorcerers, including recruiting from rogue cultivators.

In addition, Luoxia Island and Luoxia Immortal City continued to expand to accommodate more cultivators.

Now, after Su You's integration and the provision of resources, the power of Luoxia Island has been further developed.

Many Golden Core cultivators, after contributing various spiritual herbs, materials, treasures, and manpower resources from their families, successfully exchanged them for the pills they desired.

Several people even managed to exchange for Nascent Soul Pills, and one of them successfully broke through to the next level.

Currently, Luoxia Island has two members from the three major families who have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and now there are three Nascent Soul experts guarding it. In addition, the Wizard Tower is enough to deter most forces.

After giving his instructions, Su You himself used the teleportation array to travel to the Qiyun Mountains.

He needed to check on the situation in Qingzhou and see if the demonic calamity had spread to the Xutian Sect.

After all, the information obtained from those independent cultivators was already several days old.

In addition, Su You also wanted to find an opportunity to quickly expand his power during this demonic calamity.

After leaving the Qiyun Mountains, near the Xutian Immortal City, large tracts of spirit fields were left idle. The spirit rice in the fields was obviously harvested hastily, and even the unripe ones were all harvested.

As Su You continued to approach, he could see that a huge array had been fully activated, and entry and exit from the entire Void Heaven Immortal City were no longer permitted. Clearly, the situation was urgent.

After only one glance, Su You left and headed towards the direction of the demonic disaster.

After flying for several hours, he saw a large number of mortals, cultivators, and demonic beasts corrupted by demonic energy moving forward, carrying with them a sky full of demonic energy. Every piece of land they stepped on was eroded by the demonic energy, and when the demonic energy swept over, the land would be transformed into a demonic realm.

With a flick of his finger, hundreds of bloodthirsty and frenzied demons below transformed into a sky full of flesh and blood.

With a wave of his hand, the souls of these lives were all taken into his possession.

After careful observation, I realized that these souls carried a bloodthirsty and murderous madness, but they still retained a trace of their own consciousness and were not completely insane like vengeful spirits.

"These souls are not bad! They can be sent into the Mirage Realm as nourishment." Su You nodded in satisfaction.

He wouldn't indiscriminately kill ordinary people, but he wouldn't show mercy to these demons who were already corrupted and beyond redemption. By eliminating these demons, he could also gain something in the process of exorcising them.

In recent years, the development of the mirage world has almost stagnated. Without sufficient nourishment, it is impossible for it to evolve more abilities.

Su You plans to select a suitable location within the Demon Realm and set up a teleportation array so that his bloodline sorcerers can come and hunt demons and collect their souls.

As Su You continued forward, he finally saw the border of the Demon Realm. Demonic energy surged forth from within, spreading outwards and corrupting the land.

Just to be on the safe side, Su You activated the protective shield of the Star Ring, then crossed the Demon Realm and entered it.

Upon entering, he felt his power being suppressed, and the environment inside had also undergone drastic changes; everything, from the earth to the plants, had been corrupted by demonic forces.

However, normally demonic energy shouldn't permeate the earth or plants this quickly, but now the Demon Realm has clearly become a true demonic land.

"Could it be that the Blood Abyss Organization is continuously migrating demonic energy from the Demon Realm here?" Su You immediately thought of this possibility.

After all, only higher-level demonic energy can achieve the effect of instantaneous infection.

"Demonic energy from the upper realm..."

He kept thinking about this information, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: "If we could control this entrance, wouldn't that be like a never-ending source of energy?"

For the energy pool, all kinds of energy can be compressed, and the Dream Butterfly Sect accepts all kinds of energy. If they can use this entrance, then perhaps the Dream Butterfly Mirror will have a chance to recover some of its abilities ahead of time.

However, with Su You's current strength, it's simply impossible for him to seize that passage.

He didn't know the exact strength of the demons in the Demon Realm, how many demons had smuggled themselves down to the mortal realm, or their specific strength.

The only certainty is that a fifth-tier demon has already appeared, but it's unclear whether it's the only fifth-tier demon.

Although Su You was wearing a star ring, which ensured his safety, he was unable to occupy the entrance.

Now we can only wait for the reaction of the Void Heaven Sect.

The situation here certainly won't continue to deteriorate. Human cultivators from other states will definitely come to support us, but when they will arrive depends on their negotiations.

Other forces wouldn't just come to support us directly; they would have to pay a price to invite us, since this whole thing is inherently risky.
