Vampire Cultivation Notes

Like Li Jieqing, Zhou Leiwang is a well-known craftsman in Taipingfang City. He has crafted a total of five high-quality magic artifacts and has worked closely with Wanbaoge. His specialty is the disposable magic artifact Leiwan, hence the nickname Zhou Leiwang.

Over the course of ten years, Li Jieqing had collected quite a few thunder pills from him, which were used to fight Man Wu that night, and the effect was quite good.

In addition to his mastery of weapon crafting, Zhou Lei Wang's own cultivation level is also quite impressive, having reached the ninth level of Qi Refining perfection, making him a top-tier rogue cultivator with extraordinary combat power.

So that night, Zhou Leiwang relied on his powerful cultivation to stay underground a little longer and successfully snatched the top-grade magic artifact, the Thousand Illusions Mask.

Then he was killed by Fairy Luxurious Colors who threw a handkerchief at him.

Recalling the long scarf that Fairy Shecai had used, which even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Zhou Leiwang struggled for a while before dying, Li Jieqing pondered for a while and found it increasingly strange.

Why didn't that Fairy of Luxurious Colors make another move then, and try to kill herself as well?

After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, Li Jieqing finally shook his head, suppressed his surging greed, and continued to focus his mind on the harvest.

The five storage bags were opened.

There weren't many spirit stones inside; upon closer inspection, there were only a little over a thousand, most of which were taken from Zhou Leiwang's bag.

"The market has collapsed, and spirit stones are no longer coming in. Cultivators are all penniless... It seems that it is necessary to hoard some spirit stones."

Li Jieqing counted and put away the spirit stones, then looked at his other gains.

The rest were just so-so.

Or perhaps it's because he's seen so many treasures these days that Li Jieqing doesn't really care much for the things that ordinary rogue cultivators use.

Only in Zhou Leiwang's storage bag was there a 150-year-old dustless jade peach, which could prolong one's lifespan and was extremely precious among cultivators.

Li Jieqing casually put it into a corner of his storage bag.

Besides the Dustless Jade Peaches, Zhou Lei Wang's storage bag also contained several manuals on weapon crafting techniques, as well as several methods for crafting magical artifacts, including the Thunder Ball.

If a cultivator obtains these items and is willing to study them for another seven or eight years, they can probably become a basic weapon refiner and make enough to support themselves by producing some low-grade magic weapons.

"Let's talk about weapon forging later..."

Li Jieqing casually picked up a few methods for crafting magical artifacts and flipped through them.

Although he is immortal and indifferent to elixirs that prolong life, a day still only has twelve hours.

Half of these twelve hours must be spent cultivating, striving to achieve perfect Qi refining as soon as possible. The remaining time must be used to nurture the Azure Water Sword and the Thousand Illusions Mask using the Treasure Nurturing Technique.

Especially with the newly acquired Thousand Illusions and Ever-Changing Face, the user was not yet proficient in using the Treasure Nourishing Technique, and the first time it was nurtured, it took a full three hours.

The remaining time should be used for alchemy, farming, tending to spiritual herbs, and improving magical skills.

Oh, right, I'll also need to learn Cloud Seal script and cultivate the "Invisible Heavenly Sword" in the future.

Li Jieqing suddenly realized that he would be busy from now on. Fortunately, he had the idea to find that not-so-bright yellow worm to help with farming.

……

"So this is how Lei Wan is made, using this method to fuse it with the raw materials?"

After putting down Zhou Leiwang's book on refining thunder pills, Li Jieqing seemed to be deep in thought.

I was just casually flipping through the pages, but when I saw how Leiwan was made, I became quite fascinated.

The so-called Thunder Pill is a container that contains a thunder technique, sealed in a special way and stored for later activation. The container must also be similar in nature to the thunder technique being sealed, and be able to be sealed in accordance with the craftsman's technique.

Depending on the type of lightning magic used, the material of the container, and the sealing technique employed by the weapon refiner, the final product's lightning ball will vary in power and quality.

Zhou Lei Wang's techniques and Lei Wan formula are the best in the market, no wonder he has made such a great name for himself.

"I can forget about the other magical artifact blueprints, but I think I could learn how to make this Thunder Ball?"

Li Jieqing had a vague idea in his mind: since thunder magic could be sealed, other spells should also be able to be sealed, as long as he could find materials that could contain them.

For example, fire balls once appeared in the market, but cultivators disliked them because they were not as useful as thunder balls, so they gradually stopped being sold.

If you have both Thunder Ball and Fire Ball, then a Blood Heart Freedom Great Law Ball... that should work, right?

Li Jieqing was already finding it hard to bear that the Blood Heart Freedom Technique was powerful but had a strict limitation on the distance it could be used. Even if he spared no effort to use his blood essence as a guide, he could only extend the casting distance to a dozen or twenty feet.

Cultivators fight in the heavens and on the earth; what can this distance possibly be enough for them to do?

"Hmm... I'll study it slowly. I also need to learn Cloud Script, farm, find the complete Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record, and grow spiritual herbs..."

Having too much is indeed a kind of trouble.

Li Jieqing suddenly smiled and stood up.

The clothes he was wearing were the same ones he had worn several days ago when he went to the desolate mountains, but they no longer had the dust-repelling effect of the immaculate robe he had worn before, and were now quite dirty and disheveled.

Then I'll change my clothes and prepare to go back to the desolate mountain to retrieve the cloud seal.

However, as soon as he got up and took a step, a lush green field came into Li Jieqing's view.

Beside the small pond where he sat cross-legged, in the one-acre medicinal garden, the medicinal herbs that were just seeds six or seven days ago had all sprouted and begun to grow wildly, their branches and leaves stretching out.

The ones that grow slowly are just sprouting new shoots, while the ones that grow fast have already opened up several branches with leaves.

Upon seeing this, Li Jieqing immediately disregarded the mess and lay down on the ground to water each of them one by one with the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique, observing for a while.

In the medicinal herb garden.

He Shou Wu (also known as Polygonum multiflorum), along with ginseng and other medicinal herbs that can grow regardless of the soil, grow the fastest, and can already show branches and leaves in just six or seven days.

The growth of medicinal herbs like the Vermilion Fruit and Chicken Blood Vine, which require spiritual land to grow, is slower, but they have already begun to sprout, growing much faster than the medicinal herbs Li Jieqing had heard of before.

I just don't know if it's two times, three times... or five times?

Li Jieqing looked at it again and again, but found that it was difficult to tell exactly how much faster it would be at the moment, and that he would have to wait a few more days.

In short, there is no doubt that it grows several times faster than normal medicinal herbs!

"With such effects surrounding the Azure Lotus, it seems that mass-producing twenty-year-old Chicken Blood Vine is no problem at all? Truly worthy of being a precious treasure recorded in the Ruyi Sect."

Li Jieqing rested his chin on his hand and looked into the small pond.

The second-grade Ruyi Blue Lotus stretched out its petals, revealing its invisible and colorless roots, which took root in the moisture, and was making up for the damage caused by the two consecutive root breaks, showing remarkable tenacity.

A faint, pure aura wafted out, making the blue lotus appear ethereal and otherworldly compared to the surrounding spiritual herbs. It truly lived up to its reputation as a spiritual root of heaven and earth.

Compared to the Ruyi Green Lotus, which has lived for countless years, the medicinal herb Chicken Blood Vine matures after ten years of cultivation, and dies after flowering and fruiting.

Because it was harvested only once every ten years, each foot of chicken blood vine was only sold for two spirit stones in the North Street of Taipingfang back then.

Only by cultivating it in top-quality spiritual soil and receiving external nourishment, or by having professional spiritual plant masters carefully nurture and fertilize it, can a twenty-year-old chicken blood vine grow.

Twenty years later, the price of each foot of chicken blood vine will soar to seventeen spirit stones.
