Vampire Cultivation Notes

The lotus seeds were swallowed.

In an instant, the medicinal power contained within exploded in his abdomen, and a powerful, refreshing energy permeated his entire body.

Due to the medicinal effects, the circulation of spiritual energy in the Small Heavenly Circuit, which runs through all the meridians of Li Jieqing's body, was amplified and became visible on the surface.

"Such potent medicine! Am I going to succeed again?!"

Li Jieqing, who was constantly observing his own condition, suddenly opened his eyes.

What a beautiful green lotus seed!

It can actually be easily refined by the body!

The fragrant spiritual energy within my belly was constantly surging in, permeating my limbs and bones, and nourishing my entire body.

As that vibrant life force was continuously injected, even Li Jieqing, who had already regained his youth, felt his own vitality become much stronger at this moment, which was a comprehensive enhancement of his physique.

It's truly a wonderful tonic for the body!

I don't know how many Qi-Nourishing Pills he forced upon me!

Moreover, the medicinal properties of this lotus seed are so mild and suitable that it is simply unheard of.

Originally, Li Jieqing had made preparations so that if things went wrong, he could rely on his vampire physique to cut open his stomach and take out the green lotus seed. But now he didn't need to worry about that anymore. On the contrary, since things had come to this point, he should give it another push and fully circulate his cultivation technique to digest the medicinal power!

The spiritual energy from the underground spiritual vein in the quiet room was drawn in by Li Jieqing, swirling and being absorbed into his body. Together with the medicinal power of the green lotus seed, it transformed into magical power, flowing into his dantian and heart chamber in sequence.

Before long, the mana in his dantian was full, with almost no room to put it, while more mana was still being converted from the microcosmic orbit.

Li Jieqing, who had just broken through to the next level, was rapidly advancing towards the next realm.

"True Qi refined a hundred times! Perfection is attained!"

"Refine!"

Following the new technique, Li Jieqing performed the hand seals, coordinating all his magical power, and closed his eyes again.

The orbit of the Small Heavenly Circuit changes, restarting the cycle. The overflowing magical power in the Dantian is gradually drawn out, and the impurities are removed and the essence is preserved within the Small Heavenly Circuit. The magical power is then compressed and solidified after the cycle.

On the surface of his body, the slightly bulging veins of Li Jieqing disappeared again.

One circle, two circles, three circles. After three circles, only a thin layer of the refined magic power remained, yet it was exceptionally thick. It flowed back to the dantian through the microcosmic orbit and was then distributed to the heart ventricle.

"Sixth level of Qi Refining, breakthrough successful!"

……

Two days later.

It was noon, and the door to the quiet room was wide open.

As the door slid open, a ray of sunlight stepped into the room.

A pair of clean, gray shoes first stepped on the sunlit ground, tentatively exploring it several times, like a baby trying to stand for the first time.

After a final attempt, I finally managed to stand firm.

Li Jieqing immediately appeared, still wearing the same moon-white robe, with a black cloak over it, stepping into the midday sun.

It's scorching hot! It's unbearably hot!

Stepping into the sunlight is like the feeling Li Jieqing had when he was still in the mortal world, sitting by the scorching fire, his face turning bright red.

But it's not unbearable.

Li Jieqing raised his head, slowly lowered his hood, finally facing Rihua directly, opened his arms, and leaned back.

"This is freedom...tsk, it's still a bit hot."

"But it doesn't matter. Even the True Fire of the Sun can't harm me, which shows that my cultivation is advanced and my divine skills are complete."

With one hand shielding his eyes, Li Jieqing smiled.

After swallowing and refining a lotus seed, he no longer feared being roasted even when exposed to the midday sun.

The green lotus seed is truly a spiritual root of heaven and earth, a treasure of creation.

This is the advantage of the cultivation world: opportunities exist in the world, and everything has a chance of survival.

Everyone has the right to sunbathe, even vampires.

At this moment, the Yin energy on his body was almost gone. After basking in the sun for a long time, Li Jieqing stretched his waist and, in a moment of carefree joy, even threw out a few random punches before calming his breathing and gathering his magical power.

As for the scent of the precious green lotus seed.

Because it was already easily absorbed by cultivators, and after two days and two nights of refining, it was completely destroyed.

Only in the quiet room, where some of the fragrant spiritual energy had been leaked when the green lotus seeds were taken out earlier, had Li Jieqing collected it in a jade bottle.

In the past two days, besides refining the Green Lotus Seed to break through his cultivation level, Li Jieqing also had ideas on how to conquer the lost treasure land of Wangyue Mansion after being driven out of Wangyue Valley by the demon tiger.

The collected lotus seeds still retain some spiritual energy, which will be of great use later.

"Today is the day the courier service in the city resumes operation, which is perfect timing. Time waits for no one, so I'd better head out now..."

Li Jieqing muttered to himself, picked up his keys, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, bathed in sunlight, he remembered something else.

With the storage bag in hand, he quickly used his magic to probe inside and took out a porcelain bottle.

This contains the blood of a cultivator, specifically a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining. In the past two years, with the rampant beast tides, cultivators in the market have been tightening their belts to make ends meet, so I managed to snag a few bottles at a bargain price.

The bottle was opened, and Li Jieqing tilted his head back and gulped it down in one go.

"Hmm~~ It tastes good, but it's a bit old and not very potent. I'll sell some Fengxin Pills to it cheaper next time."

After finishing his drink, Li Jieqing smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction and nodded in agreement.

Having replenished their energy, the midday sun didn't seem so unbearable for a while.

This means that the vampire's constitution is still intact.

This is true merit and perfection.

Otherwise, if one were to lose the path to immortality for the mere enjoyment of basking in the sun, it would truly be an outrage against both gods and men.

"Okay, okay."

"All my ills have vanished, and my cultivation has greatly improved! On this auspicious occasion, I shall once again seek revenge on that white-haired beast!"

The porcelain bottle was put back into the storage bag.

Li Jieqing stood with his hands behind his back, and following his previous plan, stepped out the door.

One lotus seed brings many benefits, making one crave more and wish for a thousand more to study and explore.

If the Green Lotus Seed is so enjoyable, one can hardly imagine what other treasures might be hidden in the Moon Gazing Valley cave.

The white tiger blocked the road, but it couldn't scare Li Jieqing.

After two days, he had a clear plan on how to deal with the demonic tiger and how to conquer the hidden cave in Wangyue Valley. He had a profound method ready to be used.

—It's not about using the vampire's longevity to outlive that beast.

Jiang Wei's daughter, Jiang Ping, probably also knows about Wangyue Valley. Now that she has joined Ruyi Sect, as long as she doesn't die, she will definitely be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and return within twenty or thirty years, or even sixty years.

……

North Street.

Li Jieqing's plan was to come and call for reinforcements.

If you can't beat someone, call for reinforcements. There's nothing shameful about it. This has always been the most profound and useful fighting skill among sect cultivators.

If a rogue cultivator plans well, it's not impossible for them to use this ultimate technique.

The beast tide has receded, and the courier service reopens today.

North Street has quickly returned to its former prosperity and has become the preferred gathering place for independent cultivators.

Li Jieqing stopped at the familiar stall location, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Old Liu, you're still alive?"

"Pah! Who's gossiping?!"

Old Liu, who was talking to an acquaintance next to him, turned around with a displeased look on his face.
