Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 115 Blood Slaves

Cheng Wu was overjoyed to see this and followed along, recounting the whole story incessantly.

"Fellow Daoist Wangyue, it's really been hard for me to find you. I said I'd buy a Soul-Soothing Fruit for four hundred spirit stones, and now it's been so much trouble to finally meet you. But I need to reduce the price a bit. In my opinion, three hundred spirit stones would be just right."

"Are you now getting close to Master Baocheng's disciples?"

"This is not a good choice. In my opinion, you should just listen to me. In a few days, I will ask you to cooperate in leading the flag and curb their arrogance."

"Fellow Daoist, don't be afraid to refuse. With your eighth level of cultivation and your old and decrepit appearance, how could you possibly be my match if I were to trap you today? Listen to my words, and I can protect you afterwards..."

Once they reached the ground, they were naturally covered by grass and trees.

With the emergence of a near-third-tier spiritual vein, this once desolate land is now filled with lush vegetation and vibrant life, nourished by spiritual energy.

Amidst the mournful cries of birds.

Cheng Wu stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Wangyue, what's your decision? Give me a straight answer quickly!"

"Tell me the truth? You're being far too stingy and greedy."

Li Jieqing turned around, beckoned, and said in a strange tone, "I spent 850 spirit stones to buy two Soul-Soothing Fruits, and you were only willing to give 400 for one. Now you want to reduce the price again?"

"you!"

Cheng Wu originally wanted to tell Li Jieqing to face reality, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was as if someone had grabbed his neck, and he lost his voice.

Outside the Seven Immortal Cities built by the Upper Sect, paper figures suddenly appeared one after another, densely surrounding him.

Looking at the paper figure again, its magical power and spiritual light were even stronger than those of a typical late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and its dark red body surface seemed to be overflowing with blood.

In an instant, the birdsong vanished, replaced by an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"A disciple of the Blood God Sect?!"

"So this method comes from a place called the Blood God Sect."

With a wave of his hand, Li Jieqing sent a multitude of paper figures crashing down. As expected, this man immediately offered himself as a pawn to cause trouble for Master Baocheng, proving himself worthy of his use.

As soon as Cheng Wu's flying sword was drawn, two paper figures approached, one hand pressing down on the blade and the other on the hilt.

He spat out another talisman and sent it flying into the sky, seemingly trying to send a message, but it was intercepted by three paper figures that pounced on him and torn to shreds.

The gap between the two sides was too great. Cheng Wu thought he was lying in wait, but in reality, he was the one who was caught in Li Jieqing's trap.

He only had time to shout "No".

This man was beaten to the ground, his flying sword fell from its sheath, his clothes were stripped off, his storage bag was taken away, and finally, a naked, thin, pointed-mouthed, monkey-faced man was brought in front of Li Jieqing, and his mouth was covered by a paper figure and he was pressed to the ground.

Li Jieqing has been practicing his formation flags outside the city these past few days, ostensibly to contribute to the important event of the Seven Immortals setting sail, which has pleased the disciples of Master Baocheng.

But in reality, it's because he's waiting for the right person.

It doesn't matter who the destined person is; the owner of the sea chart shop that day, or Master Jinwu, or any of the other disciples of the Seven Immortals are also acceptable.

After all, the Seven Immortals were fighting amongst themselves. He, a local lord of the Serpent Sea, suddenly joined the sect of Master Baocheng. If the other disciples of the Seven Immortals were ambitious, they would plot against him and try to secretly make contact with him for the sake of political achievements.

The magic arrays within the immortal city are under too strict control, making it difficult to employ many methods.

Once you get outside the city, things will be completely different.

Despite the claim that Li Jieqing was a disciple of the Seven True Ones, he had already killed two genuine inner disciples of the Ruyi Sect, so he could easily handle the outer disciples under the Seven True Ones.

However, Li Jieqing did not expect that the first person to come to him would be Cheng Wu, whom he had inquired about before.

This actually came exactly as planned.

"I'd like to see just how much you Seven True Disciples know."

Li Jieqing held the paper figure in a mudra with his left hand, controlling the paper figure to do things, while raising his right hand to form a sword finger and pointing it towards his own chest.

Cheng Wu, who had been pinned down, forcefully shook his head and shouted, "Since you're not a disciple of the Blood God Sect, what use is your intelligence gathering about the Immortal City? You might as well give me some spirit stones as compensation, and I'll tell you what I can. Otherwise, you won't get anything out of me!"

This guy really fell into a spirit stone mine.

Li Jieqing's lips twitched: "That's not up to you..."

A wisp of blood demonic energy was drawn out from the ventricle and, guided by Li Jieqing's magic power, was injected into Cheng Wu's forehead, who was still asking for money.

He tried to resist, but was pinned down by the paper figures on his body and could not move.

As the blood essence merged into his body, the man instantly calmed down.

Then came the second and third strands.

Only three strands were thrown in. Seeing that Cheng Wu's face was turning pale and his pupils were turning red, Li Jieqing stopped and told the paper figure to release.

He did not intend to completely convert this person into a vampire.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Li Jieqing felt that he would not be able to convert any of his relatives into members.

The path to immortality is not lonely, and one does not need family members to accompany them.

Because vampires cannot bear loneliness, they create companions for companionship. When even their companions can no longer satisfy this loneliness, it is time for self-destruction.

Li Jieqing felt that even if he were to die one day, he would die on the path of seeking the Dao, not because of the loneliness and desolation of immortality.

If one day it really happens that I want to create a family member for a certain purpose.

That's not the greedy and reckless Cheng Wu in front of us.

This person is a disciple of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; if he were to transform into a vampire, it would be far too conspicuous.

If it were accidentally exposed and investigated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would discover that there is such a path to immortality as the vampire clan in the cultivation world...

Oh wow.

Li Jieqing felt that he could have considered reopening the business at that time. This situation of naive children patting on the back... no, it was more like a spirited ginseng doll parading around in the market. His life was over.

Such mistakes must never be made.

Without transforming into a vampire, Li Jieqing had secretly tested the effects of relying solely on a few strands of blood essence.

According to the worldview of the cultivation world, the abilities of evil energy vary. This blood evil energy has the ability to hypnotize others, making the hypnotized person obey and be controlled. The more blood evil energy is integrated, the deeper the hypnosis.

This is not a member of the vampire family.

They could be described as—blood slaves.

Because the transformation was initiated, they were controlled by the higher-ranking vampires. However, since the transformation was only a small part, they could not become the next generation of vampires and could only be considered as blood slaves who were controlled and used to provide blood.

This is Cheng Wu's current state after being affected by the Blood Fiend.

"Tell me first, I haven't even gone looking for trouble with you yet. How did you recognize me as the person who auctioned off the Soul-Soothing Fruit that day?" Li Jieqing observed Cheng Wu's state with great interest.

The paper figure stepped back, and Cheng Wu, his eyes glazed over, didn't stand up. He just lay there, mumbling, "The Immortal City's array monitors everything, including the arrays inside the buildings within the city. Only a few hidden doors aren't monitored. We Seven True Disciples have the privilege of proactively adjusting some of the arrays to obtain a record of the monitoring."

"You can leave the inner city aside, but you also have control over the protective formations inside all the buildings in the outer city?"

Li Jieqing was startled, but then secretly rejoiced that he had been careful over the past month and had not revealed anything.

Qi Zhen is truly a dog. No wonder the Immortal City's formation has been under construction for over twenty years without completion. It turns out the interior is so complex, and it has a sinister way of thoroughly investigating everyone who comes and goes.
