Vampire Cultivation Notes

Above the sky, the thirty-foot-tall white tiger roared, then lowered its head slightly, its gaze shifting, its brutal eyes searching for something within the Moon Gazing Valley.

Instead, it stared in the direction of Taipingfang Market, riding the demonic wind, and actually took the initiative to run towards that place.

It turned out that Li Jieqing had misremembered. Compared to his grudges, the White Tiger clearly resented the Taipingfang City for wiping out the White Tiger clan. So, as soon as it broke through, it brazenly took the initiative to attack Taipingfang.

Fifteen minutes after the demon tiger left.

Li Jieqing activated the concealment talisman and emerged from the stone gate once more, gazing in the direction the white tiger had left.

Faced with this golden opportunity to escape, he got up and quickly flew towards the cave.

Nothing more!

Since the White Tiger won the treasure hunt and chicken dinner competition, it's likely that both members of the upper sects are dead, and their lost property needs to be cleaned up by kind-hearted people.

Inside the cave, although the white tiger may have eaten countless green lotus seeds, it couldn't have eaten all the treasures.

At least the magical artifacts and techniques left behind by the people in front of that cave are top-notch, and the demon beasts definitely can't use them.

If we rush there now, we might still be able to snag a bargain.

"The White Tiger's rampage in the market is most convenient for me; to not seize such an opportunity would only bring me trouble!"

Along the way, Li Jieqing unleashed his magical power, using the Cloud Riding Boots to arrogantly traverse the sky above Wangyue Valley. He borrowed the remaining power of the White Tiger's breakthrough, and at this time, there was not a single demon beast in or outside Wangyue Valley that dared to show itself; they could only watch him pass by.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Jieqing arrived at the location of the cave.

Upon closer inspection, the place had changed dramatically.

The upper cliff peaks were lifted up, and the lower grottoes disappeared.

Instead, the earth was throbbing, spraying something outwards in concentric circles.

Standing in mid-air, Li Jieqing looked closely and saw that besides mud and rocks, there were also carved beams and painted rafters, small pavilions and halls, pagodas and square pavilions...

Boundless spiritual energy then poured out, dispersing the demonic aura left behind by the white tiger.

Li Jieqing, who was standing right in front of him, felt refreshed and invigorated after being struck by this spiritual energy.

"Wonderful! What a blessed place, a place fit for immortals!"

If he wasn't mistaken, then it should be a second-tier spiritual vein emerging from underground.

Moreover, it's not just one second-tier spiritual vein.

Extending from Wangyue Valley, hundreds or even thousands of miles of spiritual veins are confined here, and the quality of the spiritual energy that leaks out is even greater than that in the cave of Master Baozhou.

I really don't know what kind of supernatural power the person who lived in this cave possessed to be able to do something like altering the landscape and imprisoning these spiritual veins to cultivate in the cave.

The cave dwelling left behind by that predecessor was broken open today, and Li Jieqing happened to witness the scene of the mountain and river spiritual veins returning to their original positions. He was so shocked that he almost lost his mind.

"Wait, there's more to it!"

Li Jieqing recovered from the shock of emerging from that cave dwelling. With a thought, he casually pulled a black robe from his storage bag, covered his body, and hid in the overwhelming spiritual mist that was surging in like a tide.

He then activated another high-grade concealment talisman, and remained motionless.

Not long after.

Where spiritual energy was spraying from the ground, a slender figure was ejected from a building and fell to the ground.

It was Jiang Ping.

As soon as she got up after landing, ignoring the pain in her lungs from the shock, she wobbled and flew away on her magical artifact, showing no attachment to this place brimming with spiritual energy, and only caring about leaving quickly.

So one of them survived...

In the sky, as the figure was about to pass by, Li Jieqing's Qingshui Sword trembled slightly, poised to strike.

Suddenly, the swaying figure stopped in mid-air, raised its head, and stared intently in Li Jieqing's direction.

"...The upper sect is indeed incredibly powerful."

Upon being discovered, Li Jieqing shook his head, threw off his black robe, and approached.

The two sides were only twenty feet apart in the air.

One was discovered by a disciple of a high-ranking sect during a treasure hunt, and the other was discovered by a rogue cultivator in the marketplace during a breakthrough.

One was seriously injured, while the other was in high spirits.

With each side gaining and losing, their magical power is certainly something to fight!

Jiang Ping was already injured, spitting blood from his mouth and nose. Li Jieqing thought to himself that he had been practicing the Blood Heart Freedom Technique for ten years and was now confident that as long as he got closer and used this technique, the outcome would be decided.

However, just as Li Jieqing was pressing his sword with one hand and hiding the other in his sleeve, Jiang Ping suddenly moved.

One finger points to the sky, the other to the front, and an invisible wave spreads out.

"The Great Self-Controlling Sword Technique!"

"So that's how it is. My thoughts have been read again... Excellent sword technique!"

This was the second time Li Jieqing had faced this superior method of magic directly. Although he considered himself not good at fighting magic, he was still able to see some of the tricks of the trade.

First, a mark is placed on the opponent in some way, and then the flying sword strikes. Without needing to control it, the person who is hit has nowhere to hide or avoid it. The corpses of the one-horned old Taoist and Chengming Taoist that I saw before were caused in this way.

The methods of the Ruyi Sect are indeed far superior to the sword control techniques that individual cultivators figure out on their own and think are exquisite.

Of course, there are also drawbacks.

As long as Li Jieqing finds a few more people to block his sword and then runs far away, the sword technique will be hard to catch.

However, at this moment, there were no good people left to cover the rear.

Secondly, Li Jieqing had no intention of running away again!

He has the right timing, the right location, and the right people in his hands!

"Sword, come!"

The Green Water Sword at his waist responded with a hum, and in the next instant, its blood-red blade was drawn from its sheath.

Jiang Ping's body was weak and his magic power was greatly diminished. The magic sword in his hand had just turned into a sword light when the Azure Water Sword was already in front of him.

Undeterred, she shouted, "Open!"

The sword light shone brightly, rushing straight towards the Azure Water Sword and carrying it into the sky, thus averting the impending crisis.

However, Jiang Ping did not relax because of this; instead, his brows furrowed.

"This magical sword of mine is cultivated in harmony with my life force; it is truly of the highest quality. Furthermore, it is wielded by the techniques of my superior sect. How could it possibly withstand my attack?"

It is normal for someone like the One-Horned Old Daoist and Chengming Daoist to be defeated upon first meeting. Although she had fought with the White Tiger in the cave and was seriously injured, she had already used her sword technique, but she still could not quickly finish off a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

No, it's the late stage of Qi Refining.

Seeing the magical power surrounding Li Jieqing, Jiang Ping remained silent.

"Raimaru, go!"

The moment the Azure Water Sword flew towards the sky, Li Jieqing unleashed four thunderbolts with a powerful and overwhelming force.

Jiang Ping's protective treasure had been destroyed in the cave, but he remained calm in the face of Lei Wan. He formed a hand seal and pushed forward.

Amidst the clouds, the magic sword, which had been entangled with the Azure Water Sword, effortlessly shifted its sword stance and instantly plummeted from the clouds.

Sword light enveloped Jiang Ping, shattering and cutting down the thunderbolts one by one.

Sparks of lightning exploded within the tide of spiritual mist, only to be swiftly extinguished.

"You think you can kill me with just a mere thunderbolt?"

The magic sword transformed into a beam of light once more, heading straight for Li Jieqing while the Azure Water Sword was still in the sky.

This time, however, he harbored a murderous intent.

Li Jieqing was already prepared. He knew he couldn't compare to the methods of the higher sects, but he had the advantage of having a lot of spirit stones, which he had accumulated over ten years in the market.

After Lei Wan was released, a string of talismans fell in front of him, quickly activating and being offered up.

Having relied on talismans to fight enemies over the years, Li Jieqing has become increasingly skilled at activating multiple talismans simultaneously.

In an instant, thunder and fire erupted from the spiritual mist, a gale howled, and the scattered water vapor lashed against people with pain.

It's so hot!

Amidst the surge of spiritual energy, the effects of the talisman were amplified, its power reaching new heights, and the sounds of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning resounded for hundreds of miles around!

Across the wilderness.

Before Taiping Market, amidst the soaring spiritual energy and the terrifying thunder and fire, the white tiger strode through the air and glanced back behind it.

When it turns back.

At the top floor of Wanbaoge in the center of Taipingfang, the sound of a great bell resounded through the sky, and a solemn magic array appeared. Master Baozhou, holding a sword, rode a boat and rose up, his cold face full of murderous aura.

Taipingfang has been cultivated for two hundred years, and the battle between demons and humans begins today!
