Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 169 Jie Qing's Blood-Draining and Qi-Transforming Divine Power

"Sure, or not?"

Li Jieqing looked inward at the crimson halo inserted into his heart ventricle, only to see it drifting around a blood heart, completely still.

Although he had been preparing for ten years, the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment realm was so profound and mysterious that his methods of dealing with it were still rather rudimentary and unfamiliar.

The only fear is that once the supernatural powers are finally mastered, the moment they are used, calamity will befall heaven and earth.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. There are still two paths ahead: either seek out the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques, or continue your cultivation, refining and mastering the Devouring Spirit Fiend Technique before continuing your tribulation!"

Ever since piecing together the truth of the evil aura supernatural power from Fairy Shecai's words and the two Blood Heart Sect's power transmission stone tablets, Li Jieqing has been determined not to rely on anyone's Golden Core inner vision. The signs of successful cultivation are all under the control of the superior cultivator, and the hidden dangers are too great.

Furthermore, there are also examples hidden within the stone tablet for transmitting skills. Even without practicing the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques, some people have managed to directly attach their supernatural powers to Heaven and Earth through the approval of Heaven and Earth.

If our predecessors could do it, so can those who come after.

As long as the records on the Transmission Stone Tablet are accurate, those who cultivated the Blood Heart Sect's supernatural powers and gained the recognition of Heaven and Earth did not conceal any crucial information.

Even if it doesn't work in these ten years, we can always succeed in thirty, fifty, or even one hundred or two hundred years...

Just as Li Jieqing was thinking this,

Inside the ventricle, the crimson halo quietly dispersed and merged into the ventricle.

Li Jieqing sensed this scene with his divine sense, and immediately afterwards, he felt a weight on his body.

The evil energy was originally turbid energy. He carried two evil energies and one evil energy supernatural power. The imagery pressed down on his body, making him naturally extremely heavy.

But things always turn around when they reach their extreme. Just as Li Jieqing felt himself sinking as if he were descending.

The interaction between heaven and humanity has returned!

This time, no lightning struck; instead, a wisp of pure energy swept past, entering the top of his head, his limbs and bones, and his heart.

The illusory crimson halo appeared, following the pure energy.

Then, it dispersed in all directions from the summit of Black Mountain.

A supernatural power is born!

Borrowing the power of heaven and earth!

Its name is—【Jie Qing's Blood-Drawing and Qi-Transforming Divine Power】!

Li Jieqing understood immediately. He supported himself with the Taiping Sword and stood firm, feeling relaxed all over again. He exhaled a long breath.

The pure air rises, the turbid air sinks, and the interaction between heaven and man ends.

Above the nine heavens, all the calamity clouds dissipated.

Heaven and Earth do not recognize the divine power that Li Jieqing has combined, but they do recognize Li Jieqing himself. After all, he has been a vampire for so long and has never been struck by lightning. His self-generated blood essence has long been certified by Heaven and Earth.

Li Jieqing attached the image of the combined divine power to himself, which was passed through his own body, or rather, through the blood evil that had been cleansed in his heart. Thus, this divine power indirectly gained the recognition of heaven and earth.

It cannot be hidden from Heaven and Earth; even supernatural powers vanish into thin air.

It can be kept secret from heaven and earth, and its malevolent power will be unleashed for cultivators to use!

Li Jieqing didn't know if others went through the same process when attaching their supernatural powers to the inner world of the Golden Core, but it didn't matter if the process didn't match up. He was quite satisfied with the result!

After scanning himself with his divine sense and finding no hidden dangers, Li Jieqing sheathed the Taiping Sword, suppressed a laugh, and with a flick of his body, disappeared into the summit of Black Mountain, returning to his cave.

"—I've succeeded again, Daoist Master!"

Passing through the spiritual field in the cave, with his sleeves billowing in the wind, Li Jieqing returned excitedly to the quiet room for compiling the manuscript.

After sitting down on the futon, he spent half a day recovering his magical power and carefully examining himself again.

He attached supernatural imagery to himself simply because the vampire physique naturally produces blood aura, so he was just trying it out. When deduce the method, he referred to the pseudo-spiritual aura of a Golden Core cultivator, which theoretically has a 50% success rate.

It's either a 50% chance or a 50% chance.

Now that he has truly succeeded, the subsequent impact on himself is unpredictable, and Li Jieqing needs to pay close attention to it.

Half a day later.

With his magical power largely restored and having found no hidden dangers related to his mastery of the evil aura technique, Li Jieqing was finally able to laugh out loud with relief.

With a smile, he took out the private jade slip containing supernatural abilities that he had been compiling for more than ten years and officially began writing the final chapter.

—By taking one blood-fiend and one devouring-fiend, one can achieve the [Jie Qing's Blood-Draining and Qi-Transforming Divine Power].

Those who combine their skills to cultivate this divine power can...

Upon recalling the name of this supernatural power that allowed Heaven and Earth to recognize and borrow the power of Qiankun, Li Jieqing paused slightly before continuing to record the supernatural power into the jade slip.

Those who cultivate the [Jie Qing Blood-Absorbing and Qi-Transforming Divine Power] can forcibly extract the blood and qi of others to plunder their cultivation and convert it for their own use!

Regardless of whether it is a demon beast or a cultivator, or a cultivation technique of any attribute, the more blood energy is extracted, the greater the gain. Those whose cultivation is drained by this divine power cannot recover their lost cultivation and must start cultivating from scratch. Once all their blood energy is extracted, they will die.

Those who cultivate this supernatural power can seize blood essence and, with just a little refinement and simplification, use the cultivation of others to supplement their own, which is better than cultivating in seclusion for countless years.

This method may surpass the Crane's Cry Swallowing Earth and Eating Wind Divine Power, making it the best choice for cultivators with low-level spiritual roots.

Therefore, while cultivators with mixed spiritual roots are still struggling day and night with the progress of their cultivation, please think more about how prosperous the world is.

When Li Jieqing wrote this last sentence, he thought about it and then deleted it.

It seems a bit too flashy.

It's one thing to be flamboyant, but it also seems too much like the demonic path.

This is something I wrote for myself.

Li Jieqing had no intention of spreading this method, and no one else could find the required blood essence, nor could they attach supernatural imagery to it.

"Let's see how it goes..."

After finishing the final chapter on supernatural powers, Li Jieqing rummaged through the space in the jade bracelet and found the essence blood of the True Man Baozhang.

This was a treasured item that he had kept for a long time and had always been reluctant to use.

No matter how well it was preserved, after more than ten years, the essence blood of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, which was originally as clear as blood-red amber, has dimmed considerably, and the spiritual energy it contained has been greatly diminished.

Li Jieqing used his Blood-Draining Qi Transformation technique, opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the blood and qi from the bottle into his stomach.

This blood energy is special, appearing crimson in color. Once it enters the body, it settles in the dantian. Through the absorption of magical power, like peeling away layers from a cocoon, the crimson blood energy disperses throughout the body and merges into the limbs and bones.

Since entering the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Jieqing's previously slow accumulation of magical power has now begun to increase visibly, as the crimson blood energy enters his body, much like continuously consuming a second-tier Jade Toad Pill.

Moreover, the blood and energy flowed to the limbs and bones, which also added to the physical body's foundation.

"It should be able to be refined in a few days, and the effect on replenishing magical power... should be equivalent to two or three years of arduous cultivation!"

Li Jieqing refined the crimson blood energy for a while, then stopped.

The reason why the blood energy of a peak early Foundation Establishment cultivator is only equivalent to two or three years of arduous cultivation.

Firstly, Master Baocheng has been dead for quite some time, and the blood essence wasn't taken when he still had a complete corpse, so the effect is naturally diminished.

Secondly, the progress I've made in the past two or three years of arduous cultivation also includes the effects of taking the Jade Toad Pill.

Li Jieqing had always cultivated medicinal herbs on a large scale. Even though the effect of Ruyi Qinglian in ripening second-tier pills was only six times, he still didn't lack Jade Toad Pills to take.

He's almost developed a resistance to low-grade Jade Toad Pills lately, and since he doesn't have any other second-tier pills to aid his cultivation, he's planning to try refining mid-grade Jade Toad Pills once he's settled on his supernatural cultivation.

For someone like him, who has no shortage of elixirs, the fact that his blood and qi can be replenished with the same effect as two or three years of arduous cultivation is already extraordinary.

Moreover, there's no such thing as drug resistance in this blood and qi.

"Let's try the monsters again..."

Li Jieqing did not go out. This time, he only used his divine sense to drive the paper figure he had sacrificed with his blood in front of the cave gate to go outside Black Mountain to capture monsters.

Outside the foot of the mountain.

A paper figure carefully emerged, glanced around Black Mountain, and saw that although there had been rolling blue lightning, it had not attracted any second-tier demons. Black Mountain was still seldom seen by demons.

The rolling blue thunder, however, only frightened all the first-tier demonic beasts into hiding.

After searching for a while without success, the paper figure went to the summit of Black Mountain, captured a late-stage bat demon beast, and dragged it back to its cave alive.

"Squeak squeak squeak!!"

This bat-like monster was almost half a person's height when it stood up. It screamed heart-wrenchingly all the way, and it was also extremely ugly. When Li Jieqing used his magic to bring it to his eyes, he found it hard to bring himself to eat it.

"How about we make Huang Chong'er contribute some of his blood and energy...?"

Li Jieqing thought about it and decided to put the idea aside. Huang Chong'er had worked hard and made great contributions; he didn't deserve such a crime.

He immediately used the Blood Absorption and Qi Transformation Divine Power. Li Jieqing slightly opened his mouth, and a force of absorption was released.

The bat sensed something was wrong and frantically flapped its wings to escape outside, smashing the small half-acre field of white corn outside.

A paper figure leaped up, grabbed the bat's wing, and tore it off, preventing it from running away.

"Borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth—Drawing blood and transforming it into vital energy!"

A force of absorption surged from within the door, enveloping the bat-like demon beast and forcibly extracting a wisp of crimson blood energy, which then swept back into the door.

The giant bat swayed and fell into the white cornfield.

Inside the gate, Li Jieqing inhaled the wisp of demonic beast blood energy, refined it once more, and savored its effects.

"...Although it is a late-stage Tier 1 demon beast, its ability to replenish mana is far inferior to that of the expired essence blood from Baocheng. It's better than nothing."

"However, it is quite nourishing for the physical body?"

Sensing the effect of the demonic beast's blood energy nourishing his limbs and bones, and increasing his physical strength, Li Jieqing made a comparison in his mind and found that the demonic beast's blood energy was even stronger than the essence blood energy of Baocheng.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Li Jieqing opened the manual he had compiled on supernatural powers and left notes on it again.

"The blood essence of cultivators can nourish their magical power, while the blood essence of demonic beasts can nourish their physical body. However, depending on the cultivation method of the cultivator and the different races of the demonic beasts, there should be slight differences in the feedback effect of the blood essence absorbed by those who cultivate this supernatural power."

"Daoist cultivators possess the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit; perhaps they should also have a kind of blood energy that can perfectly nourish their spiritual consciousness?"

Li Jieqing left notes and further speculations on the jade slip in his hand.

He originally thought that mastering the supernatural power was the ultimate goal, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"...The Blood Pill Demon-Illuminating Divine Power of the Abyss has an entry level and a master level. Back on Xiaoxin Island, Qi Zhen often went into seclusion under the guise of cultivating divine powers, which shows that there are follow-ups after the divine power is mastered. For example, my divine power focuses on cultivation and is not enough for combat. If I could open my mouth and spit out blood essence that would render great demons unable to move and obediently offer up their blood essence, that would be truly wonderful!"
