Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 217 The Name of the Immortal Spirit

"His Majesty----"

Li Jieqing said that he would get the information from Chunyu Ju.

On the Sendai, silence reigned for a long time.

Dan Quan finally realized what Li Jieqing had really wanted to do.

Finally, he asked, "Do you think it's feasible?"

"It's not a big problem," Li Jieqing said. "Given the chaos caused by the former supervisor, it's understandable that the Eastern Lands are wary and dissatisfied with foreign cultivators. However, since it's a fact that there are more and more foreign cultivators, each with extraordinary abilities, the imperial court will eventually be unable to control them. Therefore, it's not unreasonable to switch to cooperation directly. In any case, the Blood Heart Cave Heaven is vast, and the Eastern Lands is just a small part of it. Using it as a supply point and trading hub, while letting foreign cultivators explore the demon realm to cause trouble, can also relieve some of the pressure on the front lines."

Anyway, this is what the Eastern Land did more than a thousand years ago, serving as menial tasks for the disciples of the Xuexin Sect who came to train.

This is my old profession.

Releasing intelligence to allow outside cultivators to explore the Demon Realm aligns perfectly with Shan Quan's original plan to lead a team deep into the Demon Realm.

In conclusion, there are many benefits.

However, Shan Quan's expression remained tense as he asked again, "Lord Ningrong, I'm asking if you think it's feasible to send my people from the Eastern Lands out through a spiritual artifact space?"

"Or rather, is Chunyu Ju credible?"

Who knows?

Li Jieqing didn't make any promises, only saying, "At least our Eastern Land should first overcome the calamity of foreign cultivators intruding and acting recklessly. Moreover, it is said that Blood Heart Cave Heaven is still several decades away from collapsing and dissolving. It is not impossible to reach an agreement with the foreign cultivators first, and then find other people to cooperate with later."

"Duke Ningrong, a few decades have passed in the blink of an eye—"

Dan Quan sighed.

At this time, an urgent message arrived from the palace. It traveled all the way from above the capital without prior notice, barged into the Imperial Observatory, and went to the high tower platform to deliver the message.

"It turns out that another outsider cultivator from the south has appeared and robbed the county's armory, stealing two streams of malevolent energy and countless hidden treasures. However, because he underestimated the county's military strength, he was captured by the activated array and ultimately perished together with the county governor who arrived at the scene."

After reading the urgent document, Shan Quan squeezed it again and again before finally making a decision.

"Let Chunyu Ju come out and swear an oath! That's how we should have dealt with those two traitorous supervisors back then!"

"Lord Ningrong, since you were the one who arrested and interrogated the man, you will be in charge of this matter. If you can avert this great calamity of both humans and demons in the Eastern Lands, I will push through the court to appoint you as the Imperial Advisor of the Eastern Lands!"

Dan Quan had also heard what Li Jieqing wanted.

He can't give away the Refining Spirit Technique, so he'll exchange it for the vacant position of Imperial Preceptor.

The Last Imperial Preceptor —

Li Jieqing muttered to himself, at this point his interest in the position of Imperial Preceptor had actually diminished considerably.

According to Chunyu Ju, the Blood Heart Cave Heaven is located high in the Outer Heavens at this time. Even if one leaves from the Blood Heart Cave Heaven exit at the upper reaches of the Tongtian River, one cannot return to the East Sea region of the present world; one will only appear in the Outer Heavens.

Li Jieqing couldn't think of any reason to fight the Demon Emperor Dragon Turtle to the death again.

But then again, if that exit really was completely useless, why would Shecai have the Demon Emperor Dragon Turtle guarding it all this time?

The original plan showed signs of falling through, and a new escape plan had not yet been finalized. Now, they could only take it one step at a time and try to gather more information from the group of outside cultivators.

Perhaps we can find a way for Foundation Establishment cultivators to traverse the Outer Heavens.

Therefore, Chunyu Ju's idea of ​​cooperating with foreign monks was necessary to be implemented.

"Fellow Taoist is really a trustworthy person!"

Chunyu Ju has been released and has now taken an oath to attend court. He has formally met with the officials of the Eastern Court and promoted his cooperation plan.

In response, the Eastern Court removed Chunyu Ju's constraints and oppression, and returned his magical artifacts and equipment.

Although Chunyu Ju had been interrogated several times, he came out of the court and spoke to Li Jieqing with a happy expression and a rather radiant spirit.

The abilities of the cultivators from the Eastern Lands far exceeded his expectations. Just the one he saw during the court session had a wealth of information about the Blood Heart Cave Heaven's opportunities.

As the main collaborator, he obtained this information first, which naturally gave him an advantage over the cultivators who entered the Blood Heart Cave Heaven later without any prior knowledge.

Being imprisoned for a while and losing the initiative has ironically turned out to be a blessing in disguise, bringing him benefits. How could Chunyu Ju not be happy?

"————Fellow Daoist Yu, is the imperial court really not hiding anything from me? A place like Blood Heart Grotto should be able to nurture naturally rare species."

Chunyu Ju chuckled and inquired again.

"What is meant by 'born as a different species'? There are plenty of different species of demonic beasts."

"Not so." Chunyu Ju thought to himself that the locals were just ignorant, and laughed: "Those born of different kinds do not follow the common sense of the world. They are born with wisdom and are born with tribulations. They are creatures born and nurtured by the earth."

"It could be called a celestial spirit."

"Take the demon king dragon turtle of the demon realm that you all talk about, for example. That thing is a born alien species. It was not taught when it was born, and became a foul-smelling demon beast. It can no longer be called a celestial spirit."

When Chunyu Ju heard about the Demon Emperor Dragon Turtle, he was quite eager to devour it, but he knew his own limitations and knew he couldn't defeat it.

"So, Fellow Daoist Yu, does the imperial court have any news about immortal spirits? The place where immortal spirits reside should be somewhat special."

'

Li Jieqing then thought of his Black Mountain territory.

In the Black Mountain there is a bat cave, below which is a medicinal herb cave, below which is a deep cave, in which is a sacred spring, and in the spring is a pool of black mud.

It turned out to be the case.

That thing is actually called a Fairy Spirit, isn't it?

"How is it, fellow Daoist, have you made any progress?" Chunyu Ju asked again.

"How could I possibly have any clue?"

Li Jieqing cupped his hands slightly and solemnly said, "Master Chunyu, although I am not clear about this matter, the court must have recorded it. I can fully agree to this matter. As long as the Master's plan is appropriate and the Eastern Land is stable, I will find it for you."

"It's a deal!"

Chunyu Ju's eyes lit up, and he blurted out these words.

Finding a celestial being is far better than digging up several spiritual veins and burial sites, finding a few thousand-year-old herbs, or ten-thousand-year-old iron rocks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chunyu Ju realized he had lost his composure. He paused for a moment in meditation, then continued, "Let's take half a month as the dividing line. I know all the immortal sects across the four seas of the Divine Continent, and I will definitely invite them to the capital. At that time, on the court's side, Fellow Daoist Yu will make the arrangements to hold a grand gathering to celebrate this magnificent event!"

A grand gathering to snatch treasures—it's clearly a blatant attempt to steal them.

Li Jieqing showed no sign of distress and cupped his hands, saying, "We will do as the Great Master says."

After both parties left the palace, Chunyu Ju took his leave to attend to other matters.

On his way back to Ningrong Prefecture, Li Jieqing thought to himself that if he were a local, he would have been displeased just hearing the name of the "Double Colors Competition." Chunyu Ju, on the other hand, made no attempt to hide his arrogance as soon as he was released from prison.

The foreign cultivators have caused a lot of trouble in a short period of time, which shows that they all look down on the Eastern Court from the bottom of their hearts. This cooperation conference will not be easy to hold.

"Indeed, my efforts have been so painstaking, I have done my duty to the Eastern Court."

Upon arriving above Ningrong Mansion, Li Jieqing pondered for a moment, smiled, and descended on a cloud with his hands behind his back.

As Bloodheart Cave Heaven was about to perish, he naturally wanted to save his own life, but he would do his best to help the cultivation world of the Eastern Lands, which could be considered as paying tuition for his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

Upon arriving at the residence, Li Jieqing first summoned the steward, flipped through the account books, and examined the income.

After saying goodbye to several well-connected colleagues from prominent families who had come to visit, they chatted and laughed as they made their way to the garden courtyard of Ningrong Mansion.

Since Li Jieqing rarely returned to the capital, several senior members of the Yu family organized a family competition to showcase the younger generation. Invitations had already been sent out.

The family competition is today.

In the training ground of the garden compound, the younger generation of the Yu family had all gathered. They came forward to greet each other, some excited, some reserved.

More than 20 years have passed, and especially given the backdrop of the demon invasion, the next generation of the Yu family has already grown up.

However, those with talent had already been recruited by Li Jieqing to join the Jiaxu Army, and those remaining in the capital were mostly misfits.

Li Jieqing arrived with his hands behind his back. Upon meeting the younger generation of the Yu family, he invited his colleagues who had come to join in the fun to take their seats outside the drill ground.

"—As expected of a Foundation Establishment True Person, the Patriarch's appearance has not changed at all after many years."

"Look over there! It's Lord Bowling, who is actually the brother of my sister's husband's great-great-grandfather."

"Look at that guy, always clad in beast armor! I never expected it to be General Hou Lin. He once single-handedly stormed into the rear of the demon realm, chasing down and beheading a second-tier demon king before returning. I never thought he'd come back to the capital to observe our Yu family's grand competition!"

"And that one is the seventeenth master of the Shan family. He guards the capital year-round and is a true high-ranking official. It is said that he is also a close friend of the family head."

"How come I heard that the Seventeen Immortals have been relieved of their duties guarding the capital and are about to be sent to the front lines?"

"The discussions among the crowd could not escape the notice of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Dan Shiliu's lips twitched slightly, but he simply did not bother to argue with a lower-level cultivator."

Li Jieqing, with the composed demeanor of the Yu family head, watched the family competition for a while, then opened the inner treasury and bestowed some gifts upon them.

"Later, when Chunyu Ju brings in outside cultivators, perhaps we can arrange things according to this formation."

"Should we also have this foreign cultivator fight with us?" Hao Zheng, with the small mustache, asked with a smile, knowing Li Jieqing's current task.

"That's not entirely true—"

"In my opinion, we must determine who is superior." Hou Lin, who had just returned from the front lines, was at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He said in a deep voice, "Outsiders look down on us. If we don't determine who is superior, there's no point in talking about cooperation."

"I'm afraid there might be more than one Grandmaster among the visiting cultivators. The best course of action is to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and make the most of our advantages as local cultivators."

"Judging from what Duke Ningrong said, does he already have a plan?"

"There's nothing new here. We'll just bring in troops to reinforce the formation, then engage in a battle of magic. Finally, we'll let the visiting cultivators see what the great formation used to suppress the Tongtian River in the East looks like, and put their arrogance to a halt. It will also let them know that while all the visiting cultivators may be great enemies of the East, if we want, wiping out a group of them is no problem."

"Activating the grand formation requires the royal family's approval," said Shan Shiliu.

"I'll go and discuss it myself—"

After chatting for a while, seeing that the Yu family competition was halfway over, a few people finally stood out and each gave their own comments.
