Vampire Cultivation Notes

An hour later.

Li Jieqing stepped out of the pavilion, eager to return immediately and experiment with the cultivation of the "Invisible Heavenly Sword".

He has a beast-taming method called "Blood Sacrifice to the Mind," which mentions that the essence blood of cultivators contains the mind and will of cultivators.

In other words, the raw materials for extracting the mind and spirit to create the golden body are now available.

Below the jade steps.

The one-armed manager happened to walk over and greeted him.

After the two exchanged greetings, the manager smiled and said, "My Wanbao Pavilion also has a property hidden in the city, which is quite stable. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you. It's better than living in these ruins."

"This... one cannot accept a reward without merit."

"It's alright. The Fairy Steward is in seclusion, and I am only a crippled body myself. I will need your help in the future."

The one-armed manager smiled and waved his hand to show he didn't mind.

He didn't suddenly have this idea; rather, he knew that the Ruyi Sect always did things the way they always did. They wouldn't think of such a small place as Taipingfang for decades.

In the days leading up to the return of the Ruyi Sect, the people of Wanbaoge naturally needed to seek help in order to make a living.

Fortunately, the alchemist Zhao in front of them had a good reputation in the community. For more than ten years, he had been honestly refining pills. He had even helped inform the enemy when they were attacked by a traitor.

That's why the relationship should be more harmonious.

"In that case, thank you very much."

Li Jieqing did not refuse too much. He only wanted to learn Yunzhuan script now and did not mind getting better relations with the people of Wanbaoge.

Moreover, a cunning rabbit has three burrows; having another way out is always a good thing.

After exchanging a few words, Li Jieqing put on his ever-changing mask and hurriedly took his leave.

……

In the streets and alleys.

The dawn had not yet broken in the east.

Li Jieqing returned from the desolate mountains and had just arrived at the cave dwelling area.

Suddenly, the sounds of a battle between two groups of cultivators came from directly ahead.

"After two months, it's still as lively as ever."

Li Jieqing went out tonight intending to find someone to inquire about the situation in the city. Moreover, the sounds of fighting between the two sides were very close to his cave, so he should carefully go and join in the fun.

He leaped up and reached a high place, and Li Jieqing approached following the sound.

When he arrived, he saw that the two sides in the fight were about to determine who was stronger.

The one on the left is the Scorpion Lady, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. She is known for her beautiful appearance but ruthless actions and is skilled at hunting demons. She is accompanied by a wounded, burly woman.

The one coming from the right was another hero from Taiping Market, Wu Quan Toutuo, a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. He was a master at exploiting and robbing miners along the way, and he was accompanied by three robber cultivator subordinates.

"It's you!"

Just as Scorpion Lady was about to flee with her injured best friend, she turned around and bumped into Li Jieqing standing on a high place.

The face Li Jieqing was wearing at this moment was the same one that resembled the human skin mask that had killed Man Wu that night.

Scorpion Lady was there that night, how could I not recognize her?

She was startled at first, then exclaimed, "You've come at just the right time! This ascetic monk behind us is always lawless, and now he's causing trouble in the streets. The Foundation Establishment technique has even been transferred to him!"

"Oh?"

Li Jieqing remained expressionless.

Scorpion Lady was determined to drag herself into this mess, but she spoke of others as cultivators of tribulation with a straight face.

Although the person on the other end was indeed not a good person, and had a bad reputation in the community.

Wu Quan, the monk, caught up just one step behind. When he saw someone in the distance, he frowned.

"You... are you the Bloodhand Demon?"

Wu Quan Toutuo also recognized Li Jieqing's disguise.

That Man Wu was a master of body refinement and had quite a reputation in the streets, but that night he was killed with two blows and his Ruyi Heart Sword was taken away.

Therefore, out of fear, people now refer to Li Jieqing, this dull middle-aged man, as the "Bloody Hand Old Demon," and his reputation has spread far and wide.

"I am but a humble person, and that is indeed me."

Seeing that he had actually gained such a reputation, Li Jieqing did not lose face. He forced a faint, cold smile and spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

Standing on high ground, he certainly exudes the air of a master.

The Scorpion Maiden had just shouted and was about to sneak away with her teammates when she heard Li Jieqing's voice coming from above.

"I originally went out to find someone to do business with, but since you two are already arguing, there's no rush. I'll wait until you've finished fighting before we talk."

Li Jieqing, however, was not swayed by Scorpion Lady's words. He simply stepped back and gestured for both sides to continue.

Why would the mighty Blood Hand Demon help others with their affairs for no reason?

It would be more like Scorpion Lady actually seeking help from this old demon; it's utterly ridiculous.

"Good man, how can you be so heartless?"

The Scorpion Lady, who failed to escape in the chaos, raised her head, her face filled with resentment and pity.

Combined with her incredibly delicate figure, she was absolutely captivating.

Upon seeing this, Li Jieqing took a closer look.

To be honest, Scorpion Lady is even more beautiful than Apricot Lady, no wonder she has such a good reputation.

Scorpion Lady: "..."

opposite.

The Five-Taoist monk waved his hand, signaling his three fellow cultivators to stop, knowing that a fight couldn't be fought today.

Although Li Jieqing said he wouldn't make a move now, he worried that if he continued fighting with Scorpion Lady, he would most likely be the one to benefit from the fight.

Especially now, Wu Quan Toutuo, who has many years of experience in cultivation, looked left and right but still couldn't figure out Li Jieqing's true strength.

This made him even more cautious.

"Fellow Daoist Bloodhand, I arrived a little late, but I have also heard of your reputation. However, although you are strong, the people in the city are now unruly. They are easily instigated by a few words and turn on each other, only caring about fighting each other. I'm afraid you are just as inconvenienced by this chaotic state of fighting."

"What's more, there are now demonic beasts roaming outside Taiping Ward. The spirit stone mines are collapsing, the spirit fields are lying fallow, and the fish have escaped. We, who are left guarding the spiritual veins in the ward, are about to starve to death. If the wards also start to perish, what will become of us? How many of us will be left alive?"

These five ascetic monks were as big as bears, wearing only a t-shirt with their chests and bellies exposed, yet they spoke in a logical and eloquent manner.

In the past few months, cultivators have been killing each other far more than demonic beasts, a continuous case of draining the pond to catch all the fish.

Everyone's dead, who will he rob next?

"You speak so kindly, but why don't you, Fellow Daoist Wu Quan, kill fewer of your fellow Daoists?"

Li Jieqing noticed that although the Five-Quan Monk opposite him said that suicide and self-destruction were unsightly, he was covered in blood, all of which was the blood of a cultivator.

What a waste!

Five-Kuan Monk laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Bloodhand doesn't know, who wouldn't want a Foundation Establishment cultivation technique? Even if you don't learn it, it's good to see the way to break through to Foundation Establishment."

"To be honest, everyone says that the cultivation technique is in your possession, but after searching for dozens of days, I feel that the technique must be on this Scorpion Lady. If Fellow Daoist Bloodhand is willing, let's capture her together and cut her in half, and it will be obvious at a glance. That way, we can quell the fighting in the streets and it will be a meritorious deed."

Scorpion Lady was furious upon hearing this.

"Bald man, talking nonsense! I just came out of the Moon Gazing Valley mining, and you snatched away the storage bag I found. You must have gotten your hands on that cultivation technique and are trying to kill me to silence me!"
