Vampire Cultivation Notes

The so-called lose-lose situation naturally meant that Li Jieqing immediately went to Taipingfang to report to Master Baozhou.

When the Foundation Establishment cultivators step in, no matter what benefits Jiang Ping has gained in the cave, he will have to honestly give them back.

Li Jieqing's act of reporting the matter would naturally attract the attention of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, leading to even more trouble. In particular, the more precious the treasures inside the cave, the more dangerous they are, and Jiang Ping wouldn't be the only one who would be silenced.

When the situation becomes uncontrollable, it results in a lose-lose situation.

And a win-win situation:

Li Jieqing simply ignored everything and abandoned his cave dwelling, fleeing to the sea.

Anyway, he had already obtained a Green Lotus Seed and a Treasure Cultivation Technique. Today, he also picked up several storage bags from people with good fortune, especially Cheng Ming Dao Ren's, which contained quite a few good things. It was a small win for him.

By then, Jiang Ping, having explored the cave, will naturally be the one to win big.

The greatest benefits that the Jiang family had been longing for in the cave were ultimately all taken by her.

"...Very well, I'll break through to the later stage first, then I'll be more confident. And if my niece hasn't been born yet, I'll find a way to report her to the authorities to uphold the sect's rules!"

The aura of the demonic tiger was so intimidating among the stone pillars that ordinary beasts dared not approach.

Li Jieqing arrived with a long roar, landed here, and after a moment of thought, plunged into the stone forest.

He was determined to make a breakthrough here immediately!

After finding a standard stone pillar on the ground, Li Jieqing raised his Qingshui Sword and, with a few cuts, dug out a rough stone cave.

After putting the extra stones into his storage bag, Li Jieqing personally crawled into the stone cave, sat cross-legged, and then closed up a piece of the stone he had cut open to conceal his figure.

Finally, another high-grade concealment talisman was affixed.

Only then did Li Jieqing feel at ease. He took out a Breakthrough Pill with one hand and scattered hundreds of spirit stones around himself with the other.

Then close your eyes and wait for the microcosmic orbit within your body to circulate several times, and your breathing will settle.

Li Jieqing then swallowed the Breakthrough Pill to activate its medicinal power.

"Hmph! With my true energy, combined with the creation of heaven and earth! This time, I, Daoist Master, will definitely succeed!"

The Breakthrough Pill dissolved in his abdomen, its medicinal power spreading throughout his dantian. Under the full operation of the Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record, the magical power within seemed to boil, frantically rushing through his meridians and even his limbs and bones.

When breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining, one's magical power must circulate throughout the body, opening up the internal and external circulation, drawing spiritual energy into the body to undergo a process of tendon and marrow cleansing, entering the state of fetal breathing, as if returning to the innate state from the acquired state.

Once the physical body and spiritual energy are in harmony, a cultivator's lifespan will increase significantly.

For ordinary people, living to eighty or ninety years old is considered a long life, while the lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator is as long as one hundred and twenty years, referring to cultivators who have achieved the late stage of Qi Refining.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night have passed.

Inside the newly opened stone cave, pieces of spirit stones shattered, and spiritual energy condensed into a mist that enveloped Li Jieqing.

The surging magical power within Li Jieqing's body, which had been running out of steam, was about to slowly subside.

However, under Li Jieqing's control, the door of the ventricle in his body opened, and the blood heart beat within, absorbing the spiritual energy around him and transforming it into magical power to reconnect with this momentum.

Now, even with the five mixed spiritual roots holding them back, all obstacles were overcome in the face of this overwhelming momentum.

From the Yongquan acupoint to the Tianmen acupoint, the magical power flows smoothly without any obstruction!

Inside the stone cave, Li Jieqing suddenly opened his eyes. As a surge of spiritual energy flowed from the Tianmen acupoint, strands of hair on his head naturally rose to his forehead.

"How difficult! How wonderful!"

"Looking at the moon on Taiping Mountain, my state is so confused."

"Throughout my three lifetimes and a hundred years, why should I care about the opinions of others!"

"—I've succeeded! Late stage of Qi Refining, here I come in!"

Inside the stone cave, hundreds of spirit stones had shattered into powder. Li Jieqing, having stabilized his cultivation, got up, removed the spirit talisman, and pushed open the stone door.

The unabsorbed spiritual energy overflowed as the stone door opened.

Amidst the sprayed spiritual mist, Li Jieqing walked out with his hands behind his back, his tall figure standing upright.

His body was as handsome as a celestial being, and his face beamed with unrestrained joy as he laughed heartily:

"I throw my head back and laugh as I step out the door! How could I be—"

"roar!!!"

A tiger's roar suddenly rang out, accompanied by swirling clouds and a shockwave that swept directly from outside Moon Gazing Valley.

"???"

The area around Wangyue Valley spans several thousand miles!

Where did this peerless, ferocious demon come from?!

Just as he broke through, Li Jieqing, who hadn't even finished laughing, was interrupted and quickly teleported back into the stone gate.

Once the tiger's roar had subsided, carefully take out the detection artifact and peer inside.

And there it was!

Inside and outside Moon Gazing Valley, the world was suddenly changing color, tigers roared, and all the beasts hibernated!

"...Such a surging demonic aura...it's actually that white-haired beast?!"

Outside the Moon Gazing Valley, atop the cliff peak, the White Tiger's demonic energy erupted like a volcano, spreading uncontrollably in all directions, even reaching Li Jieqing, who was a hundred miles away.

Heaven and earth seemed to be enraged, but just as thunderclouds were formed, they were dispersed by the tidal wave of demonic energy.

As the saying goes, clouds follow the dragon, and wind follows the tiger!

A hurricane, like an earth dragon turning over, ripped open the cliff top from bottom to top, causing the Moon-Gazing Eels living around it to hurriedly leave the Moon-Gazing Valley and flee to the wild.

Amidst the storm, the white tiger emerged from the ground, leaped up, and stood with its feet in mid-air.

Now, transformed into a thirty-foot-tall body riding a hurricane, it unleashed another majestic roar, like a thunderous explosion.

"Second stage!"

"A second-tier demonic beast! You beast, what gives you the right to do this?!"

Li Jieqing quickly added another concealment talisman to his collection, and half of his pride at breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining vanished instantly.

Amidst the tiger's roar, a faint, fragrant aura, carried by the wind, spread all the way to the stone forest.

Green lotus seeds!

This must be the scent of green lotus seeds!

Li Jieqing knew it as soon as he smelled it, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This beast got all the benefits, and what is my dear niece Ping'er doing?

Where is the sword technique of the upper sect? Take it out and use it to fight!

Li Jieqing and the white tiger were old enemies. He knew that the beast had suffered some kind of shock because its tribe was wiped out in the beast tide. It always killed people on sight. At this moment, he hurriedly hid himself tightly and did not show his face.

If the treasures in that cave end up in Jiang Ping's hands, Li Jieqing might even dare to try and seize them again.

But now, if this demonic tiger destroys all the treasures, then we can no longer even dream of them.

In fact, the most important thing is to figure out how to escape from the demon tiger's lair, Wangyue Valley, as quickly as possible.

"That's right! Taipingfang has a surveillance array that covers the entire sea area! By now, they must already know that a demonic beast has broken through to the second tier. It's Baozhou Shangren's duty; he will definitely step in to eliminate it!"

When Li Jieqing thought of this, he felt relieved.

Even though demonic beasts are known for their strength, this white tiger has only just broken through to the next level, while Master Baozhou is a disciple of the Ruyi Sect and a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator. He should be able to put up a fight no matter what.

Then I can take the opportunity to run away again...
