Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 108 Foundation Establishment Pill Successfully Obtained

Having offended all seven of the Shangzong Seven Immortals, they are not afraid of Fairy Shecai alone.

As the Taoist Wangyue, hiding here, he is perfectly innocent and no one could possibly find him.

Beside the lotus, Li Jieqing began to carefully examine and identify his new harvest.

Dozens or even hundreds of robes are not worth mentioning, and he can't fit into them anyway.

Not a single high-grade spirit stone was found, which must have been taken away by Fairy Shecai. However, there were 600 mid-grade spirit stones left. According to rumors in Seven True Immortal City, 100 low-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for one mid-grade spirit stone, and even then, they were rare and hard to find.

These six hundred mid-grade spirit stones were truly precious, and Li Jieqing quickly and carefully put them aside to keep them safe.

At this moment, a neatly arranged prescription, complete with a beginning and an end, came into Li Jieqing's view, and he recognized it.

"Three-hundred-year-old snow lotus, jade marrow fungus, five-hundred-year-old celestial grass, second-tier demon core, twin water... combined with: ten cups of Morning Sun Jade Dew, ten cups of Moon Gazing Jade Dew, three Soul-Soothing Fruit Hearts..."

"The formula for the Foundation Building Elixir?!"

Li Jieqing recognized the prescription simply by seeing the two main ingredients: the three-hundred-year-old snow lotus and the jade marrow fungus.

If we're talking about who in Taipingfang City back then would know how to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, then besides Master Baozhou, probably only Fairy Shecai would know.

Moreover, this jade bracelet now contains not only the Foundation Establishment Elixir formula—

Among the things Huang Chong had brought, Li Jieqing found a bottle of liquid that was both gold and white.

"Twin Waters?!"

Li Jieqing recognized the description on the Foundation Building Pill formula and quickly closed the bottle containing the Twin Water to prevent the medicinal properties from escaping.

It's out!

This is huge!

Along with the bad news that Fairy Shecai was probably still alive, came the hope of Foundation Establishment.

He had already quietly acquired two of the five main ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill.

"Why don't we just run away..."

Li Jieqing recalled what Dong Liuzhi had said about the Seven Immortal Cities already having a waterway.

The formula for the Foundation Building Pill is already available. If we can leave Xiaoxin Island and go out, we might be able to collect the remaining three main ingredients in other places without any hidden dangers.

Looking towards the Seven Immortal Cities, Li Jieqing exhaled a breath of turbid air, remained silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, carefully collecting the scattered spoils one by one.

Even if one wanted to flee to sea, according to Dong Liuzhi, obtaining a sea voyage ticket wasn't so easy.

The path to immortality is arduous; even with the secret to longevity, one still needs to carefully consider how to act.

After all, it only grants longevity, not immortality.

……

……

"The true energy has been refined to perfection. It is precisely because of this perfection that it can withstand the infusion of evil energy."

"At the same time, because it is already perfect, every wisp of evil energy can only be carefully pried open to activate the circulatory system and integrate it into the magic power."

After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, Li Jieqing did not immediately set off to search for the main ingredient. Instead, he spent five months extracting a few strands of the condensed blood-fiend energy from his heart chamber and successfully merging them into his magical power, hoping to further enhance his cultivation.

And then... nothing happened.

His magical power had not improved in the slightest. It was as if he had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, which meant he had truly reached the end of his cultivation and would not be able to improve any further.

This made Li Jieqing wonder if this could really improve the quality of Foundation Establishment.

Or is it that only Foundation Establishment cultivators can truly utilize malevolent energy?

The person who was the first to break through the Qi Refining stage and find the method to establish a foundation was truly a genius.

"Sigh... Time to go!"

Li Jieqing finished gathering the evil spirits, opened his eyes, and made up his mind.

Inside the giant stone pavilion, one paper figure after another stood, all dark red in color, with abstract faces drawn on rough paper, both eerie and comical.

If Master Jinwu's origami cranes still possessed a touch of ethereal beauty, then Li Jieqing's origami figures were nothing but malevolent energy.

"The righteous path is difficult, and the demonic path is bloodthirsty; it is not unreasonable to take the evil path."

Li Jieqing grabbed the jade bracelet and raised his hand, collecting all the dozens of paper figures.

Since breaking through the restriction five months ago, Li Jieqing has now barely recognized this spiritual artifact as his master. Although it is much more difficult to use than a storage bag, it is at least more convenient, and he no longer needs to hang more than a dozen storage bags inside his seemingly serious black and white cloak.

At this moment, the medicinal plants and the auspicious lotus in the herb garden inside the wall had already been stored in Li Jieqing's jade bracelet.

When leaving Blood Bamboo Island, these belongings naturally need to be taken with you.

Emerging from the depths of the Blood Bamboo Forest and arriving at the Stopping Stone Tablet, Li Jieqing raised his hand again and took out another set of array plates.

This was purchased by Dong Liuzhi in the Seven Immortal Cities. It's just an ordinary first-order formation, but it happens to be able to shine on the outside of the Forest Sea Life-Giving Formation Plate, so that if Fairy Shecai happens to pass by the Serpent Sea one day—for example, when she's looking for Luqiu who's been dead for over ten years—she won't find this Forest Sea Life-Giving Formation somewhat familiar.

In fact, Li Jieqing's departure now is also to avoid the possibility that Fairy Shecai might come looking for Luqiu and cause him death.

"Huang Chong, you stay here."

Huang Chong'er was following Li Jieqing out in a daze when she heard this and was a little stunned.

Blood Bamboo Island is indeed a rare and valuable asset, and more importantly, it is also shrouded in a venomous miasma.

Li Jieqing was not willing to give up so easily.

His main purpose in leaving this time was to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He first went to the Seven True Immortal City to see if he could get a ticket to go to sea. The specifics would depend on the situation.

If the Seven Immortals Sect is lax in its checks, he will show himself to obtain a boat ticket; if the checks are strict, he will have to continue wandering around Xiaoxin Island for some years, slowly searching for the remaining ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As for Fairy Shecai, she hasn't shown her face for decades, not even when Luqiu, who was clearly problematic, died. People may avoid her, but she is far less dangerous than Qizhen.

"Remember, if they send bamboo charcoal, bamboo sap, or bamboo paper—the same kind as outside—just tell them to store it in their inventory. If anyone tries to enter the depths of the bamboo forest, stop them. Don't be afraid to use force. If you really can't beat them... just try to escape. Go west across the water and you'll reach the sea."

Huang Chong lowered his head and listened intently to Li Jieqing's instructions.

Upon closer inspection, Li Jieqing seemed to discover, perhaps it was just his imagination, that he could faintly sense a familiar aura emanating from inside the yellow worm's head.

No, it's not an illusion!

How could a cultivator have such a misconception!

Li Jieqing frowned, placed one hand on his chest, and skillfully extracted a wisp of blood demon from his heart ventricle, placing it next to the yellow worm's head as a reference.

"Blood Demon?"

Li Jieqing could not find the name of the blood demon in his heart chamber. None of the seventy-two demonic energies in the Wanbaoge collection matched it. It was probably something that cultivators had never thought of.

At this moment, Li Jieqing easily distinguished the wisp of blood demon wrapped in magic power by comparing it with the aura in the head of the yellow worm.

There was also a faint trace of bloodthirsty energy within the yellow worm's body!

"Is it because I've been brainwashed so much with your life essence over the past few decades that I've acquired this constitution?"

Looking into Huang Chong's bewildered eyes, Li Jieqing couldn't help but chuckle.

After laughing, he turned around.

Just as he was about to leave, having taken a step, Li Jieqing suddenly turned around and flung away the bloodthirsty aura wrapped in his magic power.

He hurled the bloodthirsty energy at the face of the yellow worm.
