Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 151 Bloodline Search

"Sir, do you not know Mr. Lu's master?"

Inside the Blood Rain Tower, in the Taoist temple, Lu Cheng did not refuse directly, but asked with a smile.

You are competing with Huang Longzi of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace for disciples. Do you think your Blood Rain Tower is the Dongyang Demon Cult?
"Hahaha, you misunderstood, fellow Daoist. My Blood Rain Tower is just a neutral organization. In fact, after so many years of development, we already have many comrades in the twelve sects and sixteen evil schools. Joining the Blood Rain Tower does not require setting up soul lamps or taking elixirs. There are no restrictions. It is just to provide fellow Daoists with another way to make money.

For example, there is a mission right now, where a fellow Taoist is willing to exchange a red-veined firestone for a monk from the Blood Rain Tower to kill the villain who took her brother's life."

"If you are interested, I will lead her here. If this mission is successful, the previous information fee will be written off. At the same time, Xueyu Tower will also pay Daoist Lu a fee of 12,000 spirit stones."

Twelve thousand spirit stones is certainly not a lot of money, but if you add a fourth-level red-veined fire stone to it, it will be quite tempting for Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng obtained the secret book of refining the Five Elements Sword of the Eight Scenes Sect. This was not a difficult secret to find out. Although the Five Elements Essence Minerals that were lacking in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace and the Thousand Corpses Sect's secret library were not of the Fire Element, the reserves of Fire Element Essence Minerals were not abundant.

"Xueyu Tower is also investigating me?"

"After receiving the news, I will investigate the identity and background of the employer. This is the way for the Blood Rain Tower to survive. Moreover, the cultivator who killed this girl's brother is likely to be a master of a major sect in the Condensed Evil Realm. If this task can be completed, it will greatly enhance the reputation of our Blood Rain Tower. Therefore, I will do my best to facilitate this matter."

The man in black said this, seeming to be completely frank and honest.

But the more he behaved like this, the more Lu Cheng felt that he was insincere and that his words were sweet-mouthed but his heart was treacherous. If the man in the dark was really so honest, he would have died long ago.

"Well, then please ask the client to come in and we can have a chat."

Although the Taoist in front of him was obviously still on guard against him, this was already a great improvement. The man in black clapped his hands excitedly, and soon, a blindfolded girl was sent in from the secret door deep in the Taoist temple.

The woman was holding a brocade box in both hands. She was so scared that she curled up and trembled slightly after arriving here. There was some alchemy energy lingering around her. She was obviously an alchemist. Although she had some magic power, she didn't take it seriously in the eyes of Lu Cheng and the man in black.

"Girl, the strongest killer from my Blood Rain Tower is here. If you want revenge, just tell me what happened. Whether you can avenge your brother depends on you." said the man in black.

"Sir, I am Xu Qing, a local. My elder brother, Xu Changjun, is a sixth-level cultivator. I have a poor fate and my parents have been punished since I was young. It was my brother who raised me and taught me how to practice."

"Get to the point." The man in black shouted impatiently.

"My brother went to the Blood Vine Cliff to collect herbs in order to exchange blood flowers, and was murdered because of this. I am willing to use the red-striped firestone left by my brother to avenge him."

"How do you know that your brother is dead?" Seeing that this person did not seem to be lying, Lu Cheng asked.

"The blood talisman left by my brother has dimmed."

"We are thousands of miles apart, and the pursuit is extremely complicated. Aren't you worried that we can just kill someone to get the job done?"

"I am willing to receive the blood-seeking soul technique!" Even Lu Cheng was stunned when he said this.

“With your level of cultivation, you haven’t even built a foundation. If you use the bloodline soul-seeking technique, your path in this life will be ruined.” This woman has reached the peak of Qi training and has a good foundation. She has the red-veined fire stone in exchange for money, and she has a good chance of building a foundation and living for 200 years.

"If I don't avenge my brother, Xu Qing will die with regrets. My life will be ruined."

Having said this, the girl's face was already covered with tears and she knelt down, but her hands were still holding the brocade box high.

"Well, I'll take on your grudge for you."

The blood-seeking technique uses blood relatives as a guide to search for corpses and souls. There is also a blood talisman in Xu Changjun's Qiankun bag.

Unless the cultivator who killed Xu Changjun did not even take the Qiankun bag, or broke the restriction of the Qiankun bag and found the blood talisman in a very short time, he would definitely be able to track it down by performing the Bloodline Soul Searching Technique.

The Bloodline Soul-Seeking Technique was not feared by people in the past, but this technique was extremely demanding to perform and could not be afforded by non-cultivators. The human body has limited blood and essence, and even a foundation-building cultivator would suffer heavy damage when performing this technique. Most people were unwilling to bear this price.

To perform the Bloodline Soul-Seeking Technique, Lu Cheng did not need to perform it himself. The cultivators from the Blood Rain Tower would come forward and complete the technique for Lu Cheng.

As the man in black clapped his hands lightly, another female Taoist priest came in. She took out a short blade, cut a cut on Xu Qing's forehead, then put a talisman on it and began to cast a spell, not allowing anyone to refuse. She was very skilled in the rare bloodline soul-seeking technique.

Xu Qing felt pain but did not struggle. As the blood curse gradually took effect, blood lines appeared on the skin exposed outside her clothes, and then gathered at the center of her eyebrows.

Probably, after a cup of tea, the spell was completed, and Xu Qing's face had turned pale. An ordinary cultivator has only about three drops of blood in his body, but the essence contained in the blood varies with the level of physical cultivation. Once the blood is used up, the person will die.

"Alright, Xu Qing, you can leave now. I, Xueyu Tower, will take over your business."

Xu Qing bowed, then put down the brocade box and left under the guidance of the monk from the Blood Rain Tower.

"The love between the brother and sister who have been dependent on each other since childhood is really touching. Lu Shangxiu, this is your identity token. This is the Bloodline Soul Seeking Talisman. It is most effective within three days, and its power will gradually decrease after seven days. The power of the talisman will be exhausted after half a month."

At this point, Lu Cheng didn't say anything more and took the token talisman.

"Fellow Daoist, you have gone to all this trouble. What exactly are you seeking?"

"People come and go for profit. Fellow Daoist Lu, you are devoted to the Dao, so you naturally don't know how amazing the benefits that can be generated by gathering all the cultivators from all sects in the world together will be! One day, my Blood Rain Tower will become the thirteenth top sect hidden in the dark. By that time, I hope that cultivator Lu will become an elder of my sect."

“Maybe, there will really be that day.”

After leaving the Blood Rain Taoist Temple, Lu Cheng flew up on his sword which turned into a rainbow and fled to the southwest, guided by the blood-seeking talisman. If he were a cultivator from the Fire Cloud Mansion, he would have some taboos, but as a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace, there was nothing wrong with joining the Blood Rain Taoist Temple. He could talk to the elders in the sect about it when he had time, and perhaps get some related advice.
