Read Chapter 125, "In the Sea of Swimming Snakes, the Moon Gazing Relic Remains; Without a Great Demon, Who Can Compete?", now to begin today's exciting chapter.
……
Swimming in the Snake Sea.
Of the five families who once pioneered the land, only two remain today.
The Yu family occupies the main island, and their influence in the Snake Sea has changed several times over the past twenty years. Now, they have completely occupied all the spiritual lands of the former Luqiu, and their power and influence are immense. The clan is also thriving.
Unfortunately, the recent setback on Blood Bamboo Island has slightly interrupted the Yu family's momentum of development.
The other family that exists is the Liu family, which lives in the south.
It was originally formed by Old Liu, a rogue cultivator, who always lived his life by guarding his own little plot of land.
Besides these two families, there are still some people who used to be affiliated with Jinwu Shangren in Youshehai who remain there and still mingle around Youshehai, but they are not a significant force.
The recent activities of the Yu family have not escaped anyone's notice, and others have inevitably begun to covet the territory of Blood Bamboo Island.
The legacy of Wangyue Daoren, one of the six elders who pioneered the Snake Sea more than 20 years ago, is found on Blood Bamboo Island.
The Taoist Wangyue went to the Immortal City to explore, but unfortunately died while sailing with the Seven Immortals, leaving behind such a large fortune that no one could inherit it.
Leaving aside the resources gained from selling countless spirit charcoal, spirit paper, and spirit bamboo sap over the decades, the Moon Gazing Eel alone was a first-rate fortune.
According to rumors, the magical artifact used by Daoist Wangyue to control demons is hidden deep within Blood Bamboo Island. Whoever obtains it will be able to summon demons and dominate the Serpent Sea.
Upon hearing this news, not only the locals of Snake Sea, but also many independent cultivators from the North rushed to Blood Bamboo Island.
The Moon-Gazing Eel is a demonic creature with a deficiency of Yang and an excess of Yin. In response to this, many Ice Soul Talismans and extremely cold magical artifacts are selling like hotcakes in the surrounding area, creating quite a stir.
……
underwater.
Li Jieqing lay inside the formation, refining pills. Around him, a clump of poisonous grass took root in the black silt at the bottom of the water, growing vigorously and covering him as he lay inside the formation.
Another poisonous fish approached, blowing bubbles. It circled curiously outside the formation for a while before finally leaving, still blowing bubbles.
"This little thing is so ugly, it just grows up randomly underwater where nobody can see it..."
Li Jieqing looked up and saw that the ugly fish had gone far away. He turned over and continued reading.
Fang was quiet for a while.
And then I suddenly felt a lot of blood and energy flowing over the water.
Li Jieqing took out his bronze mirror, a magical artifact, and looked at it in the water.
Above the Serpent Sea, a group of cultivators dressed in various styles, averaging less than the fifth level of Qi Refining, were laughing and talking as they headed towards Blood Bamboo Island. They were discussing the history of the Serpent Sea and what treasures they could find there.
"Good heavens, are they all treating my territory like someone else's cave dwelling?"
Li Jieqing stared at the image in the bronze mirror, examined the faces of the group one by one, and after recognizing them as random cultivators from who-knows-where, he tossed the bronze mirror aside, shook his head, and continued to lie down.
Cultivators are driven by profit, and their favorite pastime is exploring the caves of their predecessors for treasures. Stories of rogue cultivators suddenly becoming rich are common in the cultivation world.
Li Jieqing never imagined that one day he would become the protagonist of such a story.
Or is it the one being explored?
"The Yu family are dishonest."
Li Jieqing didn't need to think too much to guess that the Yu family must have been stirring things up from the outside, spreading rumors, and finding someone to help them capture Blood Bamboo Island.
After all, that's how he used others to conquer Wangyue Valley back then, thinking about who could help him kill that white tiger.
But later on, that white tiger became too strong, and no one could defeat it.
The current yellow worm...
If Li Jieqing were to secretly help, he would surely be able to beat all the treasure-hunting cultivators to a pulp.
But that would be too conspicuous.
"After a month, it's said that Fairy Shecai has already fled to the ends of the earth. It wouldn't hurt to make a move now."
Inside the formation, Li Jieqing closed the bronze mirror, stretched, and sat up.
We can't keep letting the Yu family cause trouble outside.
Li Jieqing took out the Thousand Illusions Mask, carefully performed a set of treasure-nurturing techniques, cast a spell to warm it inside, breathed on it, wiped the porcelain-white mask, and put it on his face.
The Yu family currently has three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, all of whom are crammed onto the main island to cultivate.
Although he doesn't usually go out casually, as long as Li Jieqing is willing to wait outside the main island, he can always find one of them. If he kindly shares a few strands of blood essence with them and shares this treasure, which is a first in the cultivation world, he will surely be able to persuade the Yu family to be sensible.
West of the Snake Sea.
On the deserted water, Li Jieqing surfaced.
With disheveled hair, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, resolute features, and a burly build, he looked incredibly fierce in his military uniform.
A vest is still essential when you're out and about.
Heading east, Li Jieqing floated on the water, revealing the aura of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. With a carefree look in his eyes, he prepared to strike up a conversation with a rogue cultivator, inquire about the current situation in the Snake Sea, and see what kind of trouble the Yu family had given him.
Before long, they passed by Blood Bamboo Island.
Outside the island, a small black boat was approaching Blood Bamboo Island. The person driving it was a middle-aged man with a few strands of gray hair, looking somewhat old.
"May your soul return, and not fall into the deepest hell;"
"May your soul return, soaring straight to the heavens;"
"O soul, return! Alas, you have no way to descend to this netherworld..."
The soul did not return, but it attracted Li Jieqing, who was passing by, who was speechless as he looked at the scene.
After bowing, the man looked up and found a pair of cloud boots floating in front of him. Looking up further, he saw a young man with a gloomy face and an imposing presence. He quickly stood up.
Late-stage Qi Refining?!
Riding the wind through the void is a sign of the late stage of Qi Refining.
Recognizing the disparity in strength between friend and foe, the man suppressed his displeasure and feigned politeness, saying, "This junior is Li Longxiu, a disciple of the Seven Immortals Sect, who inscribes array patterns for the Immortal City... May I ask what brings you here, senior?"
The fourth level of Qi Refining.
Twenty years later, when Li Jieqing saw Li Longxiu's magical power and recognized his cultivation level, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
Although he has a mixed spiritual root of five elements, he gave Li Longxiu a lot of benefits when he left, so it is a bit unreasonable that he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining now.
"What can I do for you, senior?"
Li Longxiu had already sheathed the sharp edge he once possessed, daring to conquer all directions as a mere mortal. Now, he only asked questions cautiously.
In the cultivation world, those who have reached the highest level are respected. Although he was old, he naturally addressed the young Qi Refining Stage cultivator as "senior."
He also had to mention that he was working for the Immortal City to prevent the other party from having any ill intentions in this secluded place.
"No need for further instructions—wait a moment!"
After Li Jieqing finished speaking, he pointed forward.
Just as Li Longxiu was about to fight back, he suddenly sensed a sinister aura coming from behind him.
They were actually two paper figures with abstract facial features, one on the left and one on the right, pressing down on it.
The next moment, Li Jieqing's fingertips flashed with blood and energy, piercing into Li Longxiu's forehead.
