Vampire Cultivation Notes

"Hopefully, this seawater can wash away the miasma; otherwise, this poisonous place is truly troublesome."

The Yu family returned after guarding the entrance to the sea channel. The head of the family, Yu Mingwu, looked at the vast swamp that had become a boundless ocean and sighed with emotion.

Many members of the Yu family are still living elsewhere, including many mortals without spiritual roots. If the miasma doesn't dissipate, it will be very difficult for them to move here to live and multiply.

After inspecting the current state of their territory, Venerable Jinwu, Old Liu, and the others returned. Looking at the sky above the submerged swamp, they saw that the miasma seemed to have been dispersed somewhat, and their faces lit up with smiles. They prayed in their hearts that the miasma would dissipate.

In the flooded swamp.

Li Jieqing was the last one, and he arrived on a yellow worm after some thought.

"I wonder what kind of livelihood Fellow Daoist Wangyue plans to produce from his own spiritual land in the future?"

Master Jinwu waved his hand and asked with a smile, seemingly no longer bothered by the grudges from the struggle for the main island.

Before Li Jieqing could answer, he quickly added, "Fellow Daoists of the Yu family and I all plan to raise spirit fish. The fish fry are already on their way. We'll see whose yield is stronger and sell them to the Seven True Immortal City."

"Leaving aside the fact that Fellow Daoist Luqiu is missing, Fellow Daoist Liu has collected several kinds of poisonous herbs and medicinal plants growing in the Great Swamp ahead, and plans to cultivate them in his own home. Each of them has its own strengths, and the future looks very promising."

Once the seawater submerges the area, and given the presence of this sacred land, it is naturally the most suitable place to raise aquatic fish.

However, with five families raising the animals together, some internal friction is inevitable.

Therefore, it was at this point that Venerable Jinwu first mentioned the matter of re-competing with the Yu family for the raising of the spirit fish, so that Li Jieqing could consider it carefully before taking action.

The two people from the Yu family on the side also looked over.

Li Jieqing remained seated atop the yellow worm, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, "Do you all truly believe you are free from the miasma?"

"this……"

"I intend to build a long island on my own land and plant blood bamboo. Firstly, this plant has the effect of purifying miasma, and secondly, blood bamboo charcoal is also a necessity for alchemy and weapon crafting. Once the Seven True Immortal City recruits many cultivators, I expect there will be no shortage of buyers."

The Yu family and Venerable Jinwu both nodded with smiles upon hearing this.

They felt that Li Jieqing had voluntarily withdrawn from the fish farming business and only planted some spiritual plants on the island because he knew that there was only one branch of the spiritual vein in the Northwest, which could not compare to the abundance of spiritual energy there.

This is a good thing, and it should be supported.

"The cultivation of blood bamboo is also quite good. In addition to making spiritual charcoal, it also produces blood bamboo sap. I heard that when Master Baozhou was alive, he always had blood bamboo sap on hand to make tea and wine, and it was indispensable."

Old Liu was a businessman; he had a keen eye for things, collecting poisonous herbs to make them into specialties even when the land was being cleared.

Upon hearing this, the Yu family and Jinwu Shangren suddenly realized why Li Jieqing chose to plant blood bamboo; the prospects were indeed quite promising.

Master Jinwu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wangyue has always been of high moral character and broad knowledge. He knows much more about cultivation than I do."

"You flatter me. It's a pity I don't know how to refine pills, otherwise my cultivation would be much more convenient once the Blood Bamboo Spirit Charcoal is made."

That's right, Li Jieqing was not going to reveal his identity as an alchemist again, and he had no shortage of spirit stones after robbing Wanbaoge.

He hadn't mentioned his identity as an alchemist to his fellow villager Li Longxiu before, and now that he had an acquaintance, Old Liu, here, he naturally had to keep it a secret.

A middle-aged cultivator who relies on a skill to control beasts, secludes himself to cultivate the Dao, and dislikes socializing.

This is the character design of Wangyue Daoren.

"Fellow Daoist Wangyue, I have heard that the blood bamboo grows extremely fast. When you are all alone, it may be inconvenient for you to make spirit charcoal."

Yu Fanqian, thinking of her family's future, did have a suggestion. She immediately gathered her long skirt and approached, saying, "Why don't you come to my clan and recruit some people to serve? That would be convenient."

"No rush, we can talk about it later."

Li Jieqing smiled and waited until he had settled his own affairs before allowing outsiders to set foot in.

While blood bamboo is useful for making spirit charcoal, its ability to purify and isolate miasma is of great value.

After chatting for a while longer, each with their own thoughts, they dispersed.

This person wants to raise fish, that person wants to farm, and they all complain that there isn't enough space.

Luqiu was nowhere to be found, so it seemed that this place in the west was just sitting there unused.

Let's wait a little longer.

Luqiu, young and impetuous, and inflexible, is probably dead.

However, the specifics of how he died were all unclear to the Yu family, Master Jinwu, and Old Liu.

In short, the relationship between the five families and six people who worked together to reclaim the land has been irretrievably strained by subsequent conflicts, and can never be the same again.

……

……

The wind passes without leaving a trace, and time passes silently.

Time flies, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The north-south shipping lanes to Xiaoxin Island are still not open.

However, on land, the wilderness in the north, which was originally inhabited by monsters, has been basically cleared and transformed into fertile land. Monsters no longer run rampant and block the way. Even those in the early stages of Qi Refining can travel far as long as they are careful.

That day.

A pair of merchants came from the Seven Immortal Cities and traveled north, stopping frequently to purchase supplies. When they arrived at a place in the far north, they wandered in the half-sea.

This place is connected by a sea canal, and the western seawater is overflowing, creating a vast expanse of water that is nearly 500 miles in circumference, which is difficult to see and is still slowly spreading.

There are four forces entrenched in the Snake Sea, occupying four islands.

There are four forces entrenched in the Snake Sea, occupying four islands.

The central main island is inhabited by the Yu family, a powerful cultivation clan. They have hundreds of members with spiritual roots residing in spiritual lands, and countless members without spiritual roots scattered around the Swimming Serpent Sea.

The Eastern Palace is where the Venerable Jinwu resides. He is only forty years old, yet he has the potential to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Currently, he travels between the Northern Lands and the Seven Immortal Cities year-round, seeking opportunities.

The south side belongs to the Liu family, a group of independent cultivators. The head of the family used to be a businessman, but now he just sits there and develops his family business.

In fact, this group of merchants were newcomers who seized the opportunity of the construction of Qizhen Immortal City after Old Liu withdrew.

The leader of the merchants was called Dong Liuzhi, who was also at the late stage of Qi Refining. He did not participate in the reclamation back then, but instead formed a caravan to act as a bridge between the reclamation areas for the exchange of goods.

Over the years, Dong Liuzhi has worked hard in business, and his income has been much higher than that of those who pioneered the land.

Although there is no specific spiritual place to belong, this person's choice is open to interpretation.

When Dong Liuzhi arrived, he first checked the quality of the spirit fish produced on the main island of Youshehai, ordered a batch of spirit fish to take away, and also sold a batch of supplies so that the fish family would not have to travel a long way to Qizhen Immortal City to purchase them.

Then, heading south, they acquired a batch of poisonous plants in Old Liu's territory.

The Snake Sea is a unique place; beneath its waters lies a poisonous land, and the poisonous plants that grow there are a specialty that sells well in the Seven Immortal Cities.

In contrast, the decision made by the Yu family and Jinwu Shangren to raise fish back then could only sell them to other reclaimed lands in the surrounding area, and it would be difficult to sell them to Qizhen Immortal City - after all, Taiping Market, the old gathering place for rogue cultivators there, had been converted to fish farming, and Qizhen Immortal City nearby had no shortage of spiritual fish.

Dong Liuzhi was only willing to order some spirit fish to take away because he wanted to do business in the Snake Sea.

I spent two days in the southern part of the Snake Sea.

On the third day, Dong Liuzhi, along with several skilled men, three storage bags, and two horned zebras, sailed towards the northwest of the Snake Sea.
