Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

After branding the storage bag with his divine sense imprint and activating the restrictions within, Jiang Yun took out the Fire Jade Marrow Palace Lamp.

Soon, the Jade Palace Lantern of Li Huo floated in front of him.

He flicked his finger, and a drop of blood shot into the Fire Jade Palace Lamp and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yun felt a subtle connection between himself and the Fire Jade Palace Lamp.

Seeing this, he seized the opportunity and immediately engraved a divine imprint on the magical artifact.

From then on, the Fire Jade Palace Lamp recognized Jiang Yun as its master.

Jiang Yun began to circulate the magic incantation to refine the essence.

After a month of refining, he was able to control this magical artifact.

"go!"

Jiang Yun had a sudden thought.

The Fire Jade Lantern quickly floated above his head, bursting forth with intense flames.

The firelight illuminated the entire meditation chamber.

As long as you are within the range of this firelight, you will be protected by this magical artifact and be able to resist enemy attacks.

"It seems that the defensive power of the Fire Jade Palace Lamp is much stronger than the protective aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"In addition, the Fire Jade Marrow Palace Lantern can also subdue enemies. Those who are covered by this firelight will be unable to move, and Foundation Establishment cultivators will have their movements restricted."

Jiang Yun experimented with the Fire Jade Marrow Palace Lamp and was quite satisfied with this magical artifact.

"Next, I need to find time to refine the magic weapon so that I can control it more easily."

"Right now, aside from cultivation, I need to refine the pill patterns for the second-grade low-rank pill as soon as possible."

Now, the magical artifacts have been upgraded to magical treasures, and the cave dwelling has been initially planned and completed, with only the alchemy room yet to be opened.

However, since it is more convenient to refine pills at the Zhou family's alchemy hall, Jiang Yun does not plan to open an alchemy room for the time being.

He began traveling back and forth between his cave and the alchemy hall, focusing on cultivation and alchemy.

Alchemy is of paramount importance in this life.

If one becomes a third-tier alchemist in this life, then the starting point for the next life will be much higher.

From then on, Jiang Yun had not had a moment's rest after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage for more than half a year before he became engrossed in alchemy again.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Before we knew it, five years had passed in the blink of an eye.

That year, Jiang Yun was forty-two years old.

At this moment, in the Zhou family's Dan Hall.

Jiang Yun finished refining a batch of pills and his face lit up with joy.

"Another low-grade second-tier Fire Essence Pill with a pill pattern."

"After five years of refinement, I have finally been able to refine the pill pattern with a success rate of four percent."

Jiang Yun was in a great mood.

After five years of refinement, I was finally able to create the pill patterns for a second-grade low-level pill.

"I currently have four second-tier pill-patterned Yuan Pills. I will go into seclusion for a year to consume pills and improve my cultivation."

For the past five years, Jiang Yun has spent most of his time refining pills to improve his pill patterns, occasionally practicing cultivation and refining magical artifacts, and cultivating the Crimson Flame Demon-Locking Chain spell.

Of course, the alchemy was for the family.

One hundred batches of pills are successfully refined to obtain four second-tier pill-patterned Yuan Pills, so the probability is only four percent.

Jiang Yun embezzled these Danwen Yuan Dan pills.

He brought the pills into his cave and announced to his family that he would be in seclusion for a year, and began to consume the pills to improve his cultivation.

"Cultivation during the Foundation Establishment stage is extremely difficult. In five years, I only managed to condense two drops of liquid mana. Now, I only have thirteen drops of liquid mana in my dantian."

"After refining these four pill-patterned Yuan Pills, I wonder if I can condense another drop of liquid mana."

With a thought, Jiang Yun adjusted his mindset and began to take pills to improve his cultivation.

Because after taking the elixir, it needs to be refined and condensed into liquid magic power.

Therefore, at most four of these advanced cultivation pills can be refined and absorbed each year.

After swallowing the pill, Jiang Yun focused all his energy on refining and absorbing it.

one year later.

The cultivation chamber was filled with spiritual energy, and Jiang Yun's body erupted with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

"The fourteenth drop of liquid mana is complete!"

Jiang Yun looked inward at his dantian and discovered that the fourteenth liquid mana had been successfully condensed, and his cultivation was advancing rapidly.

"It will become increasingly difficult to condense liquid mana in the future."

"However, I can also consume and refine thirty-six second-tier pill-patterned Yuan Pills, which should be enough to raise my cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

With improved cultivation, this seclusion has come to a successful conclusion.

Once I have refined the Danwen Yuan Dan, I will go into seclusion to improve my cultivation.

Jiang Yun then left the cave feeling refreshed.

Just as they stepped out of the cave, two figures descended from the sky.

Jiang Yun was startled and quickly cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor, Clan Chief."

The visitors were none other than Zhou Renhe, the patriarch of the Zhou family, and Zhou Hongde, the clan leader.

Zhou Ren had been in seclusion for many years, but now he has emerged from seclusion for some unknown reason.

"No need for formalities." Zhou Ren waved his hand, nodded at Jiang Yun, and said, "Your cultivation has progressed rapidly, but your magical power is not refined. Remember to stabilize your cultivation."

"I will follow the teachings of my ancestors."

Jiang Yun responded by cupping his hands in greeting.

He had just finished consuming pills to improve his cultivation, but had not yet refined it, so his magical power was naturally not yet refined.

However, no matter how much he refines his skills, his magical power will not be too refined, because the technique he cultivates is the Crimson Flame Burning Gold Technique.

This technique focuses on improving one's spiritual realm, but its magical power is not particularly profound.

Zhou Ren nodded without saying anything more.

At this moment, Zhou Hongde spoke up: "The Blood Moon will descend in a year. Do not go into seclusion again after that."

"Blood Moon?"

Jiang Yun suddenly realized.

No wonder Ancestor Zhou Ren has emerged from seclusion; it turns out the Blood Moon is approaching.

The bizarre riots will then impact the entire Maple Leaf City, and even the Yuantian Lantern will not be able to stop them.

"When I was thirty-two, I went to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for the Demon King's Visualization Diagram. At that time, Qiu Jiantian told me that there were still twelve years until the Blood Moon would descend."

"I am now forty-three years old, and if I do the math, there is indeed only one year left until the blood moon arrives."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's heart tightened.

Could it be that on the night of the blood moon, Foundation Establishment cultivators will be needed to deal with the strange phenomenon?

Otherwise, how could Ancestor Zhou Ren have emerged from seclusion?

"Do you know about the Blood Moon?" Zhou Hongde recalled, "I don't think I've ever told you about it before."

"He never said it, but I know a little about it."

Jiang Yun only knew one side of the story, not the other.

The information about Blood Moon and the Ghost King was all heard from Qiu Jiantian, and the details were incomplete.

Tell him that I am going to see an old friend.

Zhou Ren had only recently emerged from seclusion. He left behind a few words and then drifted away.

Only Jiang Yun and Zhou Hongde remained outside the cave.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun invited Zhou Hongde into the cave and offered him spiritual tea and wine.

"Do you know why the Ancestor emerged from seclusion?"

Inside the cave, Zhou Hongde began to get down to business.

"I don't know," Jiang Yun shook her head.

"When the blood moon descends, strange disturbances will erupt. They will relentlessly attack the Yuantian Lamp, attempting to invade Maple Leaf City and devour all cultivators."

Zhou Hongde explained:

"There are too many strange creatures to kill them all, so Maple Leaf City is short-handed. Every Foundation Establishment cultivator must go to the city wall to guard the Yuan Tian Lantern on the night of the Blood Moon."

"Cultivators at the mid and late stages of Qi Refining must also join in, otherwise they will not survive the Blood Moon."

Jiang Yun frowned.

On that day, Qiu Jiantian told him that the Zixiao Sect had a shrine where one could safely pass through the Blood Moon.

Why go to the city wall to stop the strange creatures and guard the Yuantian Lantern?

"As far as I know, the Zixiao Sect has a shrine for protection, so why do we have to fight against the monsters?" Jiang Yun asked, frowning.
