Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 143, Part 7: Seize him! Seize this person!

Explore the genres of Xianxia novels; there's bound to be one that suits you.

"Leaving aside the potential troubles, the journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe, and we've managed to collect all the Star Grasses."

"The Foundation Establishment Pill has five main ingredients, but it is missing only one second-tier demon core and a few auxiliary ingredients."

"There's no need to rush the auxiliary medicines. Even if it costs more spirit stones, we can gather them quickly. The only thing we need to get the second-tier demon core as soon as possible..."

Beneath the Bibo Fishing Grounds, Li Jieqing carried a Sunflower Photograph Plant as he walked through the brown soil and rocks.

The yellow insect led the way, found a place to expand, and dug out a new medicinal garden of the same size.

Li Jieqing diverted water and created a small pond in the original shape of the underground cave in Taipingfang Market, and placed the Ruyi Blue Lotus in it.

All the medicinal herbs from the Snake Sea have been transplanted into the jade bracelet space—it makes moving much easier with this.

Originally, the herb garden was only one acre in size, but as Li Jieqing planted more and more things in order to refine second-tier pills, the herb garden gradually expanded to two acres.

Besides the Ruyi Qinglian, Li Jieqing carefully selected about ten of the oldest Tianxingcao plants and planted them, waiting to see the effect of the accelerated ripening.

The seven-hundred-year-old Heavenly Star Grass can be used to make the Foundation Building Pill, and its azure leaves turn into deep blue.

All of these are over six hundred years old, and Li Jieqing couldn't tell the exact number for the time being. He could only hope that the Ruyi Green Lotus could ripen faster.

"There are three lights in the world. I have the Sun and Moon Essence Light-Capturing Pearl, but I am still lacking the starlight needed for the growth of the Heavenly Star Grass. I have to go to the Seven Immortal Cities to find this item."

Li Jieqing carefully inventoried what was needed.

The idea of ​​using starlight to nourish medicine is unheard of for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators. Fortunately, he had previously robbed Wanbaoge and had more than 200,000 spirit stones, which was his foundation for Foundation Establishment. He could buy whatever he needed. The establishment of the Immortal City by Qizhen made things much easier for him.

Even scheming to obtain that second-tier demon core was the same.

The Seven Immortals have been exploring the inner and outer seas of Xiaoxin Island, killing many demonic beasts and having some demon cores left over. Li Jieqing doesn't believe that none of them are greedy.

Even if someone isn't greedy, there will always be people who walk alone at night.

With only this last bit of material left, Li Jieqing didn't mind being a little more aggressive. After all, Fairy Shecai had shown up and wasn't dead, so Qizhen would have to take notice of him sooner or later.

Li Jieqing then thought of the great sea owl in the deep sea.

After killing that sea owl, I wonder if we can find a demon core?

"What a pity..." Li Jieqing smiled.

It's far too difficult to plot against a great demon with mere Qi Refining. Even using the Devouring Spirit Acupoint is extremely dangerous; you might accidentally get devoured yourself first.

Besides, Fairy Shecai is not dead, and she might be keeping an eye on something.

"Building a foundation is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven."

"Ascending to the heavens is easy, but achieving the foundation is difficult..."

After roughly building the new cave dwelling,

Li Jieqing emerged from underground and gazed at the Seven Immortal Cities formation.

That thing was built over twenty years ago, and when it flares up, the earth collapses and the sky splits; it's truly terrifying.

If he wants to establish his foundation on this Xiaoxin Island, he needs to find a way to disable that formation.

"—Cheng Wu is dead."

At this moment, the fish farm manager came to the backyard to speak.

Li Jieqing nodded.

……

……

"We used up so many miraculous medicines to save him from that witch, and before we could even ask him a single question, he suddenly died!"

When the Seven Immortals returned to the Immortal City and heard the news of Cheng Wu's sudden death, they were all shocked.

Master Baocheng arrived first, furious, and berated him: "Cheng Yi! You're the senior disciple of Immortal City, or someone who's about to be selected for the inner sect, and all I'm supposed to do is keep an eye on him here? How come Cheng Wu just vanished without a trace?!"

Cheng Yi was the disciple of the old man among the Seven Immortals. Dressed in a Taoist robe, he had an extraordinary appearance. When he heard the rebuke from Master Baocheng and saw his master who had arrived in quick succession, he was so frightened that he knelt down and admitted his mistake.

"What are you looking at me for? Speak up!" the old man said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi burst into tears, saying, "This disciple is incompetent! In just a short while, without a sound, Junior Brother Cheng Wu died on his own. The method seemed to be suicide. My fellow disciples and I investigated and investigated but could not find the cause. You can all testify to this!"

"Who has approached him?!" Master Baocheng asked again.

"This disciple dares to guarantee that absolutely no one spoke to Junior Brother Chengwu... Even the several people we found along the way were stopped by our guards."

"You still call him your junior brother!"

Master Baocheng almost laughed in anger, glancing at Master Baozhang beside him, whose face was grim.

Cheng Wu was a disciple of Master Baozhang. Seeing that the suspect had died before the trial even began, what could Master Baozhang possibly say?

"Take the image from the magic array and see who approached. If the spiritual energy was chaotic during that time, then who hid and searched for Cheng Wu, and who killed him."

In the end, it was thanks to the elder who was in charge that the internal strife among the Seven True Ones was stopped.

Putting aside what methods Fairy Shecai used to escape, let's just talk about the words left behind by that demoness. She said that there was a treacherous Qi Refining cultivator among the Seven True Ones who wanted to seize Foundation Establishment and had recruited many disciples to rebel.

But now it seems that this has already been confirmed.

Qi Zhen spoke with a cold laugh.

Even inner disciples of the Ruyi Sect have to compete for the opportunity to establish their foundation. These outer disciples they recruit for tasks are not even officially recognized by the Ruyi Sect. Why should they wait for them to arrange a foundation-establishment opportunity for them?

Since Cheng Wu has openly betrayed us, there must be quite a few disciples secretly harboring resentment.

Just a moment later.

The image of the immortal city's magic array was urgently sent over, and Qi Zhen stepped forward to examine it carefully.

Several of Chengwu's disciples were also called in to check for any omissions or deficiencies.

Halfway through the photo, Cheng Yi suddenly exclaimed, "It's this one! He looked quite eager to force himself to see Cheng Wu back then."

Cheng Yi pointed to a person in the photo who had been guarding Cheng Wu, and zoomed in on that person's appearance.

"Look here! That gesture he made when he left was definitely meant for Cheng Wu!"

Qi Zhen had already used her divine sense to review the remaining images and was now carefully searching again to see if anyone had approached that section invisibly.

Suddenly, upon hearing Cheng Yi say this, another disciple who was guarding the area echoed his sentiments.

The old man looked at the image of the formation again and then spoke directly.

"Bring this person here immediately!"

Not long after.

The messenger returned hurriedly.

"The person has already escaped! He ran away immediately after Master, Martial Uncles, and Senior Disciples returned and opened the city gates!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they had finally found the real culprit.

Qi Zhen immediately flew into a rage.

Doesn't this just confirm what that enchantress Shecai said?

Unbeknownst to us, so many traitors have appeared below!

"You're still laughing?! Investigate! Investigate everyone who has close ties with Cheng Wu! Don't let anyone else get away!"

Cheng Yi was chosen by the old man to redeem himself through meritorious service. Each of the Seven Immortals also selected several close disciples with clean backgrounds to thoroughly investigate the entire Seven Immortals Immortal City.

It turns out that more than one person betrayed their sect, and they even joined forces to do some kind of underworld shady business behind the scenes.

It's only been a little over 20 years since we settled here, yet the accumulated problems are already so deep?

The seven of them were all somewhat shocked by what they saw.

The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 143 Seven Truths: Catch! Catch this person! We look forward to your visit.
