Vampire Cultivation Notes

Moon Valley.

No, it's now called Seven Immortal Cities.

The surrounding cliffs and precipices have all been leveled, and the giant crater that Tian Leizi blasted out back then has long since disappeared.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, altering the terrain is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Li Jieqing did not approach, but only observed the huge, unnamed magic array under construction from a distance.

"So you call yourselves Seven True Ones, huh...?"

The array patterns were dazzling. Li Jieqing glanced at them a few times, then commanded the yellow worms to take a detour and head north.

Having returned to the world of cultivation, how to deal with the seven members of the Ruyi Sect remains a question that requires careful consideration.

This is different from when they crawled out of Wangyue Valley and had Jiang Wei and his wife completely under their thumb. These seven Foundation Establishment cultivators from Ruyi Sect are too strong; it's not a time for them to linger around.

The lifespan of a Foundation Establisher is 360 years, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Making trouble for these seven people is destined to be a long-term endeavor.

The sun hangs high in the sky.

On the other side, Venerable Jinwu, who had already received the order to clear the land, and his companions were waiting.

Going to the unexplored lands to the north to fight against demonic beasts and guard a sacred site—this is something that a few people definitely can't do, since they're not Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At this moment, besides Venerable Jinwu, there were nearly thirty other cultivators, men, women, and children.

Among them, four were at the late stage of Qi Refining.

The young man, seemingly even younger than Venerable Jinwu, had a somewhat sinister face and exuded a murderous aura. His aura fluctuated occasionally as he had only recently broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

The other person was an elderly man with gray hair and a very large frame. It was clear that he must have been incredibly strong when he was young, but now he was emaciated.

This person was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but his cultivation was deeper than that of the sinister youth, and his magical power was more restrained.

The remaining two were a man and a woman, both carrying flying swords on their backs, and the swords were identical in design, with blue hilts and white blades.

Most of the other cultivators around them were dressed similarly to the man and woman, carrying flying swords, indicating that they belonged to the same faction.

The group of people, each with their own thoughts, gathered together and began to argue amidst the commotion.

"The others have already accepted the land reclamation orders and left, while we're left here waiting idly?"

"There are still no people who have arrived. The chosen location is in the far north, and the road is so difficult to travel. I'm afraid it will lead to disaster."

"Fellow Daoists of the Yu family, rest assured. If that person truly possesses a late-stage demonic beast, it will greatly assist in the pioneering work."

"Fellow Daoist Liu, why don't you come here and be a good person..."

Just as even the cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining began to argue.

Suddenly, the Venerable Jinwu laughed and said, "They've arrived!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked south and saw a yellow figure emerge from the newly opened sacred land, accompanied by sand and dust, exuding extraordinary power.

Master Jinwu gestured for a paper crane to fly high, and then let out a crane's cry.

The yellow figure then turned and came towards them.

Upon reaching them, the yellow shadow roared, swung its tail, and stopped. Its massive body completely blocked one side of the group of more than thirty people, startling those with lower cultivation levels.

"With this size and the addition of scales, it truly is the legendary late-stage Tier 1 Moon-Gazing Eel!"

Many people recognized the yellow figure and were shocked.

Greetings, fellow Daoists.

Li Jieqing gracefully landed on Huang Chong's head, flicked his whisk, and took in the expressions and faces of those around him.

Finally, he couldn't help but smile and say again, "This humble Taoist priest, gazing at the moon, has long resided in the southern lands and bows here in reverence."

What a coincidence!

He knew many of the people here.

That's absolutely right, that's the kind of insight a veteran of Taipingfang should have.

Those carrying flying swords in the arena are all members of the Yu family.

Their original family ancestral land was destroyed by demonic beasts. Too many things have happened in the past ten years, and the family has completely declined. Now, only two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators are left to hold their own.

Taking advantage of the land reclamation order, the Yu family wanted to rebuild their foundation.

At this moment, the two leading male and female cultivators from the Yu family stepped forward to pay their respects.

The man, named Yu Mingwu, was in his seventies. His vital energy had declined, but his magical power remained strong, reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, he had been at this level for over ten years, and it was possible that he would reach the ninth level of Qi Refining at any time.

Considering that late-stage Qi Refining cultivators have a lifespan of at least 120 years and at most 150 years, Yu Mingwu can fight for at least another ten years. If he successfully breaks through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, fighting until he is 100 years old will not be a problem, after which his combat power will decline.

The other woman was much younger, with a bright complexion and luscious red lips. She looked to be in her early twenties, but was actually under forty years old, and had a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"The Yu family, Yu Fanqian."

The woman slightly cupped her hands, staring at Li Jieqing before her, her eyes shimmering with spiritual light and magical power, yet remaining completely unnoticed.

This is a spiritual eye technique she cultivates, which allows her to perceive the cultivation level of others.

When she first started learning, the brilliance in her eyes was impossible to conceal, but now that she has reached her current age, she can carefully conceal it and try her best not to let others notice when she is spying.

I remember you.

Li Jieqing remained expressionless and nodded with a smile to Yu Fanqian.

He recognized it naturally.

Back when he, the ancestor Fengxin, had just made his debut, a group of people from the Yu family came to seek revenge for the death of Yu Fanyi. They didn't dare to cause trouble for the murderers, the Jiang family couple, and instead bullied the weak and blocked his door in the alley of South Street.

One of the young female cultivators from the Yu family was the most arrogant and domineering. Upon meeting her, she used her spiritual eyes to probe her cultivation level.

It's this fish, Fanqian, right in front of me.

"Fortune has come..." Li Jieqing thought to himself.

Yu Fanqian couldn't discern Li Jieqing's cultivation level, and although she was secretly annoyed, she simply smiled on the surface.

So many years have passed, and even the arrogant and domineering girl of yesteryear now knows how to put on a show.

The Yu family had fallen on hard times, so they had no choice but to compromise.

Two years ago, the friend that Jinwu Shangren mentioned going to scout ahead was from the Yu family. The two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, each with their own family members, faced Jinwu Shangren, a lone cultivator, so naturally they could only befriend him and exchange information.

After the Yu family members finished speaking, the white-haired old man next to them didn't need Jinwu Shangren to introduce him; he took the initiative to smile and come over.

"My surname is Liu. If you, Fellow Daoist Wangyue, frequented the North Street of Taipingfang back in the day, you should have heard of my reputation."

Old Liu, everyone knows him.

This is truly a stroke of good fortune.

Li Jieqing nodded and said, "I have indeed heard of Fellow Daoist Liu's business dealings, and I also heard that you were injured and became a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, which could not be cured. I did not expect that you would continue your path to immortality. Congratulations."

After hearing this, Old Liu laughed and said, "It's not about continuing the path to immortality. I'm already old, and I'd be grateful if I could just do my best to leave something for the next generation."

It turns out that ten years ago, Taipingfang City collapsed. Old Liu and the Yu brothers teamed up and plundered a large amount of resources in the early days before stopping and running away to other places.

Over the past ten years, he has not only healed his old injuries but also returned to the late stage of Qi Refining.

The collapse of the market brought about a great opportunity.

Many people found opportunities amidst the chaos, and Old Liu was just one of the inconspicuous ones.

For example, Master Jinwu, who used to be an unknown person, has quietly reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.
