254Chapter 253 After completing all the trivial matters begin practicing the Blood Jade Technique

Mortals raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and horses, while the cultivators here raise spirit beasts.”

Looking at the spirit beast gate before him, Yu Xian muttered to himself, “Actually, there’s not much difference…”

Ordinary people work hard to make a living by farming, working, doing business, or performing in theaters. In short, they are busy all their lives trying to earn money and never have a moment’s rest.

While cultivators may seem high and mighty, in essence, they are no different from mortals; they all strive to cultivate diligently, accumulate resources, and earn spirit stones…

Different paths lead to the same destination.

Shaking his head, Yu Xian stepped inside.

The mountain range of the Spirit Beast Sect is very large, but ninety percent of it is the habitat of various spirit beasts. Yu Xian followed the main road straight up the mountain and soon arrived at the Spirit Beast Hall.

To purchase, rent, or board spirit beasts at the Spirit Beast Gate, you must exchange your ticket at the Spirit Beast Hall and then retrieve your spirit beast from the back mountain using the ticket.

Otherwise, with such a large spirit beast mountain gate and so many kinds of spirit beasts, if anyone could choose freely, how many disciples would have to accompany them?

Yu Xian was no exception. He strode into the Spirit Beast Hall, glanced around, and then walked to a counter.

“Oh, I’ve met the senior brother from the Alchemy Sect.”

A disciple at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation was writing something behind the counter when he suddenly sensed someone standing in front of him. He looked up, quickly bowed respectfully, and said, “I wonder if Senior Brother wants to rent a spirit beast, buy one directly, or consign it? Or perhaps he needs beast meat or demon cores?”

Yu Xian raised his hand and said with a faint smile, “Junior brother, there’s no need for such formalities. Everything I need is on this list.”

As he spoke, Yu Xian handed over a piece of paper.

He needs quite a lot of things, not only demon cores but also a lot of spirit beast cores. It would be troublesome to describe them verbally, so writing them down on paper is the most convenient way.

The disciple who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation quickly took the paper and glanced at it. His expression changed slightly, and he looked up at Yu Xian and said, “It seems that Senior Brother is going to refine precious pills. However, these demon pills are all quite expensive, and those spirit beast pills are not cheap either.”

Yu Xian nodded and smiled faintly, “That’s right, I do need to refine some pills, which requires demon cores, and spirit beast pills are naturally for raising pet beasts. As for the price, as long as it’s fair, I can afford it.”

“Don’t worry, senior brother, the price will definitely be fair.”

The disciple’s face lit up with joy as he said, “Please wait a moment, senior brother. I’ll go and ask Senior Brother Feeding Spirits right away, and try my best to gather the necessary items for you as quickly as possible!”

Yu Xian nodded slightly: “Mm.”

The disciple immediately turned around and quickly went to the back of the hall.

Yu Xian wanted a lot of things, so the prices were naturally not low. Whether it was third-grade superior demon cores, fourth-grade demon cores, or fourth-grade spirit beast cores for cultivation, training, and healing, none of them were cheap. All of them together would cost at least three or four million spirit stones.

This is a big deal that he, a Qi Condensation disciple, cannot make the decision on.

Yu Xian wasn’t in a hurry. He stood still and waited quietly, glancing around from time to time. He saw that the disciples coming and going only needed to spend spirit stones, get a ticket, and then leave. It was quite convenient.

“Is it that Foundation Establishment disciple from the Alchemy Sect who needs so many demon cores for alchemy? Could it be Senior Brother Guo?”

Just then, a voice came from the inner hall behind the counter. A cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage stepped out, followed by the Qi Condensation disciple.

As soon as he came out, he saw Yu Xian at a glance. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes showed surprise. He hurried over in three steps: “Who is it? It’s Senior Brother Yu!”

Yu Xian’s reputation has already spread to all the Foundation Establishment disciples!

His name is practically ranked fifth among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Haotian Sect!

As for the first four, they are naturally the four holy sons.

One of them was Wei Congfeng, a disciple of the Supreme Elder, who possessed the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the heaven-defying talent of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

One was the personal disciple of the Second Elder of the Supreme Sect, a former sword seed of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, with a late Foundation Establishment cultivation level and a natural sword spirit root aptitude, no weaker than a heavenly spirit root! His name was Hua Yuandu.

One of them was Qin Tianming, a disciple personally taught by the Third Elder of the Supreme Court, with the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the aptitude of the Five Elements Great Spiritual Root.

One of them is Yang Xiaolin, a disciple personally taught by the Sixth Elder of the Supreme Sect and the Holy Son of the Puppet Spirit Sect. He has the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Although his spiritual roots are only four, his innate spiritual power is extremely strong. He can control three puppet mechanisms with the strength of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment by himself!

These four holy sons are even more esteemed than ordinary Golden Core cultivators!

Although Yu Xian is not the fifth Holy Son, his record of killing six evil cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm has made him famous throughout the Hao Tian Orthodox Sect, and his reputation is close to that of the four Holy Sons!

Yu Xian smiled and said, “Junior brother, we are from the same sect, there’s no need for such formalities.”

“Senior Brother Yu, my name is Liu Cheng.”

Seeing that Yu Xian was not pretentious, Liu Cheng felt much more favorably disposed towards him and cupped his hands, saying, “Whatever Senior Brother Yu needs, I will send someone to fetch it right away. There is no need for a ticket.”

Then he said to the cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, “Go and fetch everything that Senior Brother Yu needs. Just say that’s what I want, put it on the tab, and I’ll give you spirit stones later.”

Upon hearing this, the cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation quickly nodded and said, “Alright, please wait a moment, senior brothers!”

After saying that, he ran out again and retrieved the items for Yu Xian one by one according to the list.

Liu Cheng looked at Yu Xian and smiled, “Senior Brother became famous in the battle of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, single-handedly killing six evil cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. He was truly awe-inspiring! Just thinking about it makes me admire him!”

Yu Xian waved his hand and laughed, “It was just luck. I was also in grave danger and almost got killed. It was all luck, nothing to brag about, nothing impressive.”

“Could you explain it to me, senior brother?”

Liu Chengdao said, “I also wanted to go to the Xuan Tian Secret Realm back then, but my cultivation was too low. How could a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator compete with a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator? Only a strong person like Senior Brother could go and kill those damned things and make them tremble with fear! A bunch of mutton dogs, they think they can turn the world upside down by joining forces?! They all deserve to die!”

Yu Xian smiled faintly, “Actually, there’s not much to say. Inside the Xuan Tian Secret Realm…”

Since Liu Cheng wanted to hear it, Yu Xian simply picked out a few trivial details and told them to him.

After all, I’ll need demon cores for my alchemy in the future, and I’ll still have to come here to buy them. Getting to know him and building a good relationship will be convenient in the future.

Liu Cheng’s eyes flickered, and when he heard that Yu Xian had successfully hunted down a certain evil cultivator, he was even more excited, as if he had killed that cultivator himself.

“Good riddance! A bunch of mutts, how dare they compare to disciples of a great sect like us!? Although they banded together and destroyed my Feathered Immortal Sect, sooner or later we will make sure they die without a burial place!”

Liu Cheng gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with intense hatred.

He was originally a disciple of the Feathered Immortal Sect, but the Feathered Immortal Sect was breached by the Alliance of Loose Cultivators, so he could only follow his master to the Profound Heaven Sect. The bitterness of living under someone else’s roof was indescribable, and of course he hated the Blood River Sect’s loose cultivators to the core.

These cultivators from the Great Immortal Sect looked down on rogue cultivators to the core, but now they have been overthrown by the rogue cultivators, which makes them seem ridiculous.

“My two senior brothers!”

Just then, the disciple who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation rushed over.

Yu Xian immediately stopped speaking.

Liu Cheng’s expression turned serious, and he said calmly, “Is everything prepared?”

“Everything is ready!”

The disciple nodded, took out a storage bag, and said, “Everything is inside. Please check it, senior brothers. If anything is missing, I will go and get it!”

Liu Cheng took it first, probed the paper with his mind, checked it for a while, and then handed it to Yu Xian with a smile: “Senior Brother Yu, everything you want is in here. As for the price, how about you give me three million six hundred thousand?”

Yu Xian reached out and took the storage bag. He probed into it with his mind, glanced at it briefly, and smiled, saying, “Junior Brother Liu’s price is very fair. I have no objection. Three million six hundred thousand!”

After saying that, he reached into his robes and rummaged around for a moment before taking out a storage bag and handing it over, saying, “Junior Brother Liu, please accept this.”

Liu Cheng quickly took it without even looking at it, and just smiled and said, “Why bother checking? Senior brother would never make a mistake.”

Yu Xian smiled and said, “It’s best to check the goods and settle the payment.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng had no choice but to probe the space with his mind. He glanced inside, then withdrew his gaze and laughed, “That’s right, Senior Brother is truly wealthy!”

Yu Xian laughed and said, “They are all spirit stones from those evil cultivators who were killed. It doesn’t hurt to spend them.”

Liu Cheng’s eyes showed a hint of envy, and he nodded, saying, “Senior brother did a good job killing them! Those spirit stones from those mutts should have been yours!”

Yu Xian reached into his robes and put the storage bag inside, smiling faintly, “Then my alchemy sect has other matters to attend to, you see…”

“Ah, if Senior Brother has something to attend to, then naturally I will prioritize that matter. I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll wait for another opportunity to hear about Senior Brother’s slaying of the evil cultivator in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm!”

Liu Cheng quickly responded.

Yu Xian smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll be going. Junior brother, there’s no need to see me off.”

“If you need any more demon cores, battle pets, or spirit pets in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely give you the lowest price!”

Liu Cheng quickly added another sentence.

Yu Xian cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, “Then I will inevitably have to trouble you more in the future, junior brother. Farewell.”

“Take care, senior brother.”

Liu Cheng smiled and gave a slight bow.

Yu Xian smiled and nodded, then turned and strode away.

Buy magical artifacts, spiritual herbs, demon cores, and spirit beast pills.

All the miscellaneous tasks are finally completely finished.

After leaving the Spirit Beast Gate, Yu Xian went straight to his small courtyard.

Now that I have some free time, the next step is naturally to focus on spiritual practice!

According to Fu Ning’an, he would have at least two or three years of peace and quiet.

For the past two or three years, I haven’t needed to do any sect missions and can cultivate in peace.

I made my way back to my little courtyard, and it was already getting late.

I spent most of the day busy with things that seemed trivial but were actually necessary, and now I finally have some free time.

Yu Xian entered the courtyard, waved to close the array, returned to the main room, sat cross-legged, and gently exhaled.

The surroundings were quiet. Yu Xian inhaled a few breaths of spiritual energy, and then, with a thought, reached into the spirit beast pouch.

The heron in the clouds is still in the process of advancing, while the little phoenix cat is working hard to cultivate.

After glancing at it briefly, Yu Xian withdrew his thoughts, then raised his hand and flipped it open, taking out three storage bags.

Of these three storage bags, one was a reward from the sect, and no one knows what’s inside.

The other two were the storage bags of the two evil cultivators he had killed.

He didn’t have time to look at either of the storage bags, so naturally he didn’t know what was inside.

Before you begin your cultivation, let’s categorize everything in these storage bags so we don’t have to worry about it later.

With a wave of his hand, one of the two cultivators’ storage bags flew into his palm. He probed with his thoughts and saw all sorts of things.

Elixirs, magical artifacts, materials, spiritual herbs, secret manuals, scrolls, and over a million spirit stones.

Yu Xian tidied up for a while, then looked at it and his eyes flashed, landing on a scroll.

The Art of Condensing Sound into Lines

Condensing sound into a line?

Yu Xian’s expression shifted. Just from the name of the spell, he could tell that it was a kind of sound transmission spell.

Such spells can be very useful at times, but they can also be quite useless.

“This method can be learned; it’s always good to be prepared.”

Yu Xian nodded to himself, put away the spell scroll, sorted out the other items, put the empty storage bag into his pocket, and took out another one.

Yu Xian had a deep impression of the owner of this storage bag.

To kill this cultivator, I had put on an act for half a day. This cultivator’s Blood Crystal Technique was truly domineering, no less powerful than the Great Five Elements Hand Seal.

“Blood Crystal…”

Yu Xian looked at the storage bag in his hand and muttered to himself, “It looks like an enhanced version of the Spirit Finger Technique, it’s all about pointing with the fingers…”

Although the Spirit Finger technique is quite powerful, it is no match for Blood Linglong.

“Will it be inside…?”

Yu Xian muttered to himself, his thoughts already venturing into the depths.

Some spell scrolls from the monks’ guild are kept in their storage bags, while others are learned randomly. Since there are no spell scrolls at all, naturally, once the original owner dies, there is nowhere to learn them.

What I saw was more than 500,000 spirit stones.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage only had a little over 500,000 spirit stones on him. It seems that he made extensive preparations before coming to the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, converting the spirit stones into other things.

In addition, there are a lot of pills, the best of which are even fourth-grade superior healing pills.

The three magical artifacts are all of the fourth-tier superior grade, with defensive, offensive, and speed-enhancing properties.

Unfortunately, before he could even use it, Yu Xian tricked him with his Mirror Image Technique, and then suddenly closed in and punched him to death.

There is also a secret manual, and several scrolls of spells.

Yu Xian’s gaze fell on the cultivation manual and several scrolls.

Reverse Meridian Blood Explosion Technique

Blood Suppression Method

Blood Crystal

Blood Shield

Blood Flame Technique

“Heretical cultivator?”

Looking at these cultivation techniques, Yu Xian frowned. He hadn’t expected that the cultivator’s techniques and spells were all related to blood.

Of all the blood-related spells Yu Xian encountered, the one that left the deepest impression was the Great Kui Blood Demon Spell.

That’s an evil spell that requires harming countless innocent people to master; it’s purely the work of an evil cultivator!

Now, what catches the eye are blood-path techniques and blood-path spells…

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xian first opened the Blood Jade Scroll.

Let’s take a look first. If it really is an evil cultivation method that requires the blood and essence of innocent people to cultivate, then Yu Xian will destroy it immediately.

“Using blood as a catalyst, condensing a single, exquisite point, to slaughter all living beings…”

Yu Xian frowned as he looked down, then his brows gradually relaxed, and he revealed a look of admiration.

This is a bloodline magic, but it is not an evil method that requires the blood and essence of innocent people to practice.

Because practicing this method consumes one’s own essence and blood!

Burning one’s own blood, is that evil? No, it isn’t!

As I said before, if you want to become stronger, you can hurt yourself, however you want; it’s your own business.

But if you hurt other innocent people in order to become stronger, then you are guilty of an unforgivable crime and deserve to die!

“This method is truly domineering… Each time it is used, at least one-tenth of one’s essence blood is burned. Using it once or twice a day can still be recovered from, but if it is used three to five times, it will damage the source of one’s essence, and it will be difficult to recover…”

After reading the instructions on how to use the Blood Crystal Spell, Yu Xian’s face turned solemn, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

“Judging from these techniques and spells, it seems to be a set of inherited techniques, the Blood Suppression Technique… perhaps it’s a spell to suppress the damage to Blood Linglong?”

Yu Xian was not stupid. After studying the Blood Crystal Technique, he quickly figured out the functions of the other scrolls.

Thinking to himself, he raised his hand and summoned the Blood Suppression Scroll again, opening it.

“The blood flowing through all the veins is pure and refined, not a single drop is missing; this is the essence of blood suppression…”

“What a wonderful blood-suppressing technique!”

After reading it, Yu Xian’s eyes sparkled with joy!

With this blood-suppressing method, and by using the Blood Crystal, one can activate it with ordinary fresh blood! Only one or two drops of essence blood are needed!

If one does not have this Blood Suppression Technique and forcibly activates the Blood Jade, then one can only use a few dozen drops of essence blood to consume it, which will naturally damage one’s source!

It’s definitely a matching set!

“Reverse Meridian Blood Explosion Technique…”

Since it comes with a complete set of techniques and spells, it is obvious that practicing this Reverse Meridian Blood Burst Technique will allow one to more powerfully activate spells such as Blood Suppression Technique and Blood Linglong.

However, since I already possess the Longevity Wood Spring Technique, attempting to cultivate this kind of technique would be futile.

However, it’s good to take a look; perhaps there are some things we can learn from.

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Xian put down the Blood Suppression Technique.

He also unlocked the secret manual of the Reverse Meridian Blood Burst Technique.
