Vampire Cultivation Notes

Li Jieqing had previously used the methods of independent cultivators to maintain the original Qingshui Sword, which had no restrictions, for several years, so he could see clearly.

With the application of the Treasure Nourishing Technique, the triple restrictions on the second-generation Azure Water Sword have undergone some wondrous changes. Recently, the area around the sword has even begun to emit a spiritual light from time to time.

I didn't understand it, but I was deeply moved.

The spiritual light is undoubtedly a good thing, so the second-generation Azure Water Sword is undoubtedly stronger as well.

The effects of the Treasure Nourishing Technique and the practice of cultivators using their magic power daily to nurture and maintain magical artifacts to increase their familiarity with them are practically unrelated.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure from the Moon Gazing Valley cave.

However, Li Jieqing never fought with others, so he didn't know exactly how strong his Green Water Sword, which he had nurtured for a year, had become.

The Azure Water Sword of unknown strength, the Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record of perfect cultivation, and some talisman thunder pills that have been accumulated again over the past year, including a high-grade Leap Talisman and a high-grade Vajra Talisman.

This is the source of Li Jieqing's confidence to explore Moon Valley again.

Last time, we managed to escape from that demonic tiger in a hurry, so this time we're fully prepared and we won't be the ones to suffer a setback.

After a year of hardship, Li Jieqing was ready to make a successful comeback, feeling that he had the upper hand.

……

Time flies, and three days later.

As a vampire, Li Jieqing fully replenished his lost essence and blood in just a few days, and in high spirits, he chose an auspicious time to set off.

One quarter before 9 PM.

Just before Taipingfang Market closed, Li Jieqing, dressed in a black robe and wearing a human skin mask, walked out of the archway expressionlessly.

First, we headed south.

Half an hour later, in the pitch-black wasteland, Li Jieqing changed direction, activated a mid-grade levitation talisman, and headed straight towards Wangyue Valley.

"I'll walk around the market a few times after leaving, and then walk around it again after changing my appearance. A cultivator as cautious as me isn't far from attaining immortality..."

hum!

In the desolate night.

A sword light appeared out of thin air and slashed upwards, its target being the smug Li Jieqing, dazzlingly bright.

"Buzzing!!!!"

A golden light emerged from its body, blocking the incoming sword light.

It turned out that Li Jieqing had prepared a mid-grade Vajra Talisman for protection as soon as he left home. At this moment, the sword light activated the talisman, which was stuck three feet outside his body, revealing its true form.

Its true form was a cyan magic sword, which looked somewhat familiar.

Li Jieqing came to his senses and was instantly enraged.

"Sword, come!"

Beneath the black robe, the Azure Water Sword was drawn, humming as it hurtled towards the incoming magic sword.

With explosive force, striking at the last gasp, only the sound of collision was heard, the magical power exploded, and the attacking magic sword flew backward.

Li Jieqing immediately recalled the Azure Water Sword to his hand, no longer caring whose magic sword had been used in the sneak attack. Seeing that things were not going well, he activated a high-grade levitation talisman and immediately prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, another flying shuttle appeared just then, breaking the mid-grade Vajra Talisman and, without missing a beat, shattering the high-grade Soaring Talisman that had just been activated.

Li Jieqing hurriedly swung his sword to deflect the flying shuttle, and his body fell to the ground.

Below, the cyan magic sword returned.

"go!"

Li Jieqing released his grip, instead pointing a sword finger at his forehead, ready to test his swordsmanship against the attacker.

The Azure Water Sword, imbued with the power of its surroundings, shone brightly, its tip heading straight for the magic sword below.

With a collision, the two magic swords separated, then simultaneously spiraled upwards, transforming into shooting stars that shot straight into the sky.

Hundreds of feet in the air, the magic sword intended to take advantage of its downward momentum to strike Li Jieqing, but it was intercepted by the Qingshui sword that followed at the same time.

Under the moonlight, the swords gleamed brightly, and the two magical swords followed the same path, neither gaining the upper hand for a moment.

"This sword control technique... and the appearance of that magic sword..."

On the ground, Li Jieqing guessed the origin of the person who attacked him. As the swords in the sky were about to separate, he lowered his sword and reached out to the side.

Clang!

In the sky, the cyan magic sword was defeated, with a gap cut by the blood-red magic sword, and hastily retreated.

At the same time, the magic power inside the blood-red longsword was exhausted, and the sword fell gracefully, landing right in the palm of Li Jieqing's hand, who was guiding it. He twirled the sword, put one hand behind his back, and made a sword finger gesture in front of him with the other.

The attacker appeared in the direction from which the cyan magic sword fell, his figure appearing in the wilderness.

It was Yu Mingli from the Yu family.

"A mere mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, wielding my family's sword control technique, and even managed to cut down my magical weapon... What kind of sword is that?!"

Looking at the nick on his magic sword, Yu Mingli felt a pang of heartache.

Is this reasonable?

A dignified late-stage Qi Refining expert, who had studied his family's sword control techniques for many years, lost a sword duel to a clumsy mid-stage Qi Refining expert.

"—A superior-grade magic artifact, Qing Shui, produced by Wanbaoge, is priced at 750 spirit stones, no discounts."

Li Jieqing's tone calmed down. He pointed his sword to the sky, and talismans fell from his sleeves, swirling around him and activating simultaneously. The faint light, like floating dust, obscured his face, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

He is not good at fighting, so he should immediately use all his strength!

Therefore, before even hearing a reply, the Green Water Sword appeared again, rushing straight towards Yu Mingli's face with a whoosh.

Yu Mingli no longer cared about the loss of his magic sword. He poured his late-stage Qi Refining power into it and used it to deflect the Azure Water Sword.

Just as he was about to leave, a series of talismans floated over from behind the Azure Water Sword, arranged like a long snake.

"Wait!"

Yu Mingli exclaimed in surprise, leaped back, and hurriedly activated his protective magic artifact.

The attacking talismans arrived without hesitation, unleashing a burst of lightning and fire.

The shockwave overturned the barren earth and rocks, sending pieces of gravel flying amidst the smoke.

Amidst the scorching smoke and dust, Li Jieqing seized the opportunity to activate a concealment talisman and bravely charged into the aftershocks of the thunder and fire.

At the same time, the Azure Water Sword, which had just been sent flying backward, fell back down from the sky, its light separating the smoke and the aftershocks of thunder and fire in front of it.

At the very center of the thunder and fire.

Even with the protection of magical artifacts, Yu Mingli was still seriously injured. In a blur, he saw Li Jieqing approaching through the split lightning and fire. When Li Jieqing was only three zhang away from him, the human skin mask on his face was peeled off and fell to the ground due to the lightning and fire.

"Someone just told me to test you! Hold your tongue!"

Yu Mingli shouted, his eyes darting around as he searched the surrounding wilderness.

Li Jieqing, ignoring everything else, raised his hand, revealing a bloody gash in the palm, and parted his lips slightly as he faced Yu Mingli.

"Blood Heart—Freedom!"

The hand is loosely clenched into a claw, as if it is grasping a heart.

Yu Mingli, who was already injured, suddenly stiffened all over and could no longer be called out. His whole body turned red, his eyes bulged out, and thick blood oozed out.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Mingli bled from all seven orifices and died silently.

The essence and blood are extracted by the Blood Heart Freedom Technique, which can cause serious injury and shorten lifespan, or even death on the spot.

Yu Mingli was clearly greedy and wanted more.

Li Jieqing, out of kindness, transformed the overflowing essence into a blood bead and summoned it.

This time, however, he did not take it on the spot. Instead, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and put it away first. Then, he took a Qi-Nourishing Pill to quickly restore his magical power.

One Yu Mingli died, but there should still be another attacker.

Those who use flying shuttles!
