Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 144 The Upper Sect's Style Has Always Been This Way

Qi Zhen was startled by Cheng Wu's actions and decided to punish his disciples and give them a thorough purge.

As for the person who ran away without being met, someone naturally had to go out and immediately go out to pursue them.

Thus, within the Seven Immortal City, which had only recently reopened.

As the cultivators watched as streaks of spiritual light flew overhead, they were all filled with unease. They feared that this might cause another fight within the immortal city, damaging their possessions, leaving them with no recourse for compensation.

Pity.

Qi Zhen searched the mountains and seas, only to find that the person who had escaped had fled to an unfamiliar area of ​​the open sea and would never return.

They chased after him, causing a commotion, but gained nothing.

The pursuing Master Baozhang and Master Baowu could only sigh in despair.

Amazing! Are these people who are lowering their standards these days really risking their lives?

……

While Master Baozhang and the others were chasing after them to the outer sea...

At the same time, Master Baocheng, who remained in the Immortal City, found the old man who was leading the group.

Only the two of them were present. Master Baocheng tentatively spoke up, "Senior Brother should have noticed as well that the method that demoness Shecai used to escape Immortal City is completely unlike the ways of Wanbao Pavilion. It's more like she was possessed by some demon king. This is getting stranger and stranger. Should we report this to the sect?"

It turns out that although Master Baocheng has a bad temper, he is quite shrewd and has noticed this matter early on.

Upon hearing this, the old man shook his head.

"Back then, the Seven Immortals united to occupy this place. How could you fellow disciples easily agree to let outsiders come? Would this Immortal City still be under our control then?"

Bao Cheng smiled.

Then the old man added, "Besides, it's rare that you, junior brother, have noticed that demoness."

"Leaving aside the fact that she most likely has a stone dragon turtle, what is her reason for betraying Wanbaoge and clinging to Xiaoxin Island instead of going there? Most likely, there is another treasure somewhere. I don't believe you, junior brother, don't have that thought."

Master Baocheng's face grew even brighter, and he said truthfully, "You truly understand me, Senior Brother. The Dragon Turtle can be taken as a spirit beast to guard the island, and as for Fairy Shecai herself... I secretly found her for you, Senior Brother? To be honest, I really don't quite trust that treasure."

"Go then. If a great demon king does come, I will find a suitable person from your sect to help you."

"Now I can truly rest assured, Junior Brother!"

Having achieved his goal, Master Baocheng discussed the details and then took his leave, satisfied.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are naturally shrewd and intelligent. Fairy Shecai was indeed lured out by Chengwu and behaved very strangely. It would be difficult for True Person Baocheng not to notice.

There must be something going on in the shadows, some kind of treasure. Now that he's caught wind of the letter, how could he let it go so easily?

The old man had just seen off Master Baocheng.

After Master Baozhang and Master Baowu, who had gone out to arrest people but failed, returned.

Later, Master Baowu secretly sought him out again and immediately asked quietly, "Senior brother, that demoness's methods are unpredictable and don't seem to follow the ways of a cultivator. What do you think... should we report this to the sect?"

"...Junior brother, just tell me what you want to do."

The old man was used to this kind of scene.

This has always been the tradition of our sect.

"It turns out that there is a method of refining elixir by reheating the fire, which can separate the malformed medicinal liquid and refine it again. This not only saves the time and effort of refining, but also saves the loss of medicinal materials."

Underground at the Bibo Fishing Ground, Li Jieqing leaned back in a deck chair, flipping through a scroll of cloud-script silk, feeling greatly broadened in his knowledge.

That means...

He ruined every batch of Jade Toad Pills he refined, wasting countless spiritual herbs and stones. In total, he could have bought several times the quantity of Jade Toad Pills in the Wanbao Pavilion.

If other second-tier alchemists were in the same situation, wouldn't they all go bankrupt?

It turns out that the second-tier alchemy technique includes this special method of refining fire, which can save countless raw materials.

Holding the alchemy method collected by the blood slave, Li Jieqing was almost overjoyed.

Rather than saving materials, he valued the trial-and-error costs of mastering the method of refining. He had ruined a few ingredients and mixed up a few clumps of primordial liquid. With this method, he could separate and refine them, accumulating experience to refine true second-tier pills sooner.

"Yesterday I spent five thousand spirit stones to buy a few Qingling Fruits and Chongyu Ginseng at a premium. That's enough to refine about five Jade Toad Pills. I've bought up almost all the raw materials for Jade Toad Pills recently. If Qi Zhen pays attention, she'll probably notice this strange market phenomenon."

"Even if Qi Zhen doesn't know, if Fairy She Cai comes to the Immortal City, she will surely be able to guess my purpose."

Li Jieqing was willing to use the greatest sense of crisis to try to figure out Fairy Shecai's malice and the speed at which the Seven Immortals reacted upon hearing the news.

He, a Qi Refining cultivator, was placed in front of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; once discovered, it was a dead end.

Maintaining such caution is only natural.

The situation on Xiaoxin Island can now be described as a covert game of hide-and-seek spanning tens of thousands of miles, reaching everywhere from the sky to the sea. The Seven True Ones are powerful and are searching everywhere with their eyes wide open, while Li Jieqing and Fairy Shecai can only hide.

While avoiding Qi Zhen, Fairy Shecai was frantically searching for Li Jieqing.

This game of hide-and-seek was quite difficult. Li Jieqing was unwilling to join, but Qi Zhen blocked the door and wouldn't let him leave. Fairy Shecai also forced him to join, so he had no choice but to play.

"This is outrageous! I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Li Jieqing was confident that he could successfully refine the Jade Toad Pill within two years, and then he would try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

At that time, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly.

If we can obtain the last key ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill this year, the second-tier demon core!

Qi Zhen didn't know this, nor did Fairy She Cai. She only thought that the Heavenly Star Grass collected from the deep sea was not old enough to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Near Li Jieqing, beside the small pond where the Ruyi Qinglian (a type of lotus) spreads its petals, more than ten Tianxing Grass plants survived and thrived under the starlight in the cave.

One of the materials used to build the reception platform, Starry Light, was brought here by Li Jieqing, solely to meet the growing conditions of the Heavenly Star Grass.

The Ruyi Qinglian can accelerate the ripening of Tianxing Grass six times faster.

The ripening speed of ordinary ginseng is 36 times, that of spirit rice is 24 times, and that of first-tier spirit herbs such as vermilion fruit, chicken blood vine, and large-leaf spirit mushroom is 12 times.

The Heavenly Star Grass, which is over 600 years old, is already considered a second-tier spiritual herb, and its ripening speed has been consistently maintained at six times.

"Master Wangyue, the Immortal City has begun a systematic investigation of the Seven True Disciples, and I have also received the order to be recalled."

The communication jade talisman at his waist trembled for a moment, and the voice of the fish farm manager rang out.

"Then let's go," Li Jieqing said.

The jade talisman remained silent.

A moment later, Li Jieqing put down the silk scroll in cloud script that recorded the method of reheating the fire, turned over and went to the side to heat up the alchemy furnace.

Although the growth rate of the Star Grass accelerated by the Auspicious Green Lotus is slow, it is only about six times faster.

However, according to his observation, two years later, there will be at least two or three Heavenly Star Grass plants around the Ruyi Green Lotus that have reached the age of seven hundred years, just in time to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, neither Fairy Shecai nor the Seven Immortals would know this.

The raw materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill are basically sufficient; the only remaining key lies in the second-tier demon core.

That's the key to breaking the deadlock!

Li Jieqing raised his hand and threw a piece of spirit charcoal into the alchemy furnace. The spirit charcoal ignited in the fire and gradually crumbled into ashes.
