Vampire Cultivation Notes

"Stop talking, you're really blinded by greed."

"I didn't originally plan to go in, but the steward opened a door and I was attracted by the precious light inside. I only saw that the steps inside were made of pieces of spiritual jade, and I entered the mountain in a daze."

Li Jieqing sighed, which was his way of answering why he hadn't followed the plan to trade outside the mountains.

"It's normal to lose composure when faced with such a treasure... but have you seen that person yet?"

The old fisherman stroked his beard and pressed for answers.

This man originally spent most of his time in the fishing grounds by the sea and rarely stayed in the marketplace. Recently, with the complete collapse of Taiping Market and the disappearance of the fishing grounds, he gradually became acquainted with the Yu brothers and others. A few days ago, they even plotted together to steal the treasures from Wanbao Pavilion.

"Upon seeing him, he ordered me to refine several pills to relieve my fatigue."

"Truly worthy of being called Fairy of Luxurious Colors, she is indeed elegant and graceful, with a captivating charm and an ethereal quality."

Li Jieqing showered the Fairy Shecai, whose true face he had never seen, with praise, before declaring righteously, "Everyone, remember this: I never intended to test the Wanbao Pavilion at the foot of the mountain or try to take advantage of it. I stated from the beginning that I was there to do business. If any of you speak ill of me to the people of Wanbao Pavilion in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"..."

The crowd gathered there looked at each other in bewilderment.

Judging from the way that Zhao looks like he's dead, you can tell that Fairy Shecai is still alive and well.

"Does the fairy intend to pursue this matter?" Old Yuhan's voice suddenly softened, and he smiled ingratiatingly.

Li Jieqing was about to spout some nonsense when he learned the Cloud Seal script and mastered the "Invisible Heavenly Sword," but he did not want the Wanbaoge to undergo any further changes.

Suddenly, Yu Dabian, his anger undisguised, shouted, "Why should we investigate?! As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. The upper sect has disappeared, and we are struggling to survive under the claws of beasts, seeking a method to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage to protect ourselves. And we're still wrong?"

"Keep your voice down!" Yu Er tugged at his brother's sleeve.

In an instant, the surrounding rogue cultivators distanced themselves from Yu Da.

Then they moved closer to Li Jieqing.

Yu Da wiped away his tears, seemingly oblivious to the scene, and pulled his brother Yu Er aside, bursting into tears for a long time.

"Brother, we've been living in constant fear because of that white tiger, racking our brains! Yet we still haven't obtained the breakthrough method, and who knows who's reaped all the benefits! Now, they're using this as an excuse to come and cause trouble for us brothers!"

"Well, Yu Da, who are you talking to?" Li Jieqing immediately said.

"I'm talking to you, what are you going to do about it?!"

Yu Da pushed his brother Yu Er away, his face flushed with anger, his eyes flashing with naked ferocity.

Upon seeing this, Li Jieqing frowned.

It wasn't that she was afraid of Yu Da, but rather that she didn't understand his attitude.

After decades of hardship, there's no reason for them to break down today. The two Yu brothers are certainly not without such a mindset.

Li Jieqing glanced around again and saw the group of rogue cultivators he had summoned, all of whom had unfriendly expressions.

That's how it is...

Li Jieqing suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap again.

He had always been using these old acquaintances, and today, they had quietly devised a plan to deceive him and reached a consensus to make trouble for him.

The White Tiger wreaks havoc, the market is destroyed, and though the chaos is dangerous, there are also extraordinary opportunities.

These veteran independent cultivators had satisfied their appetites by consuming the property of the local stewards, but their greed, just like Li Jieqing's when he entered the desolate mountains, only led to a surge of even greater greed, driving the cultivators in the field to continue their attacks.

Up to this point.

Seeing that they couldn't get their hands on Wanbaoge, they finally decided to set their sights on the "Fengxin Ancestor," who was known for his wealth and extravagance.

Oh.

That's easy.

"You're crying because you can't break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? That's a joke. If you just want the method to break through, isn't it easy?"

Li Jieqing smiled contemptuously, not mentioning that he was still refining pills for Fairy Shecai, knowing that this fabricated story wouldn't be enough to quell the rampant ambitions of the crowd.

He simply unfolded his black robe and held the Qingshui sword in his hand.

The sword shone brightly with spiritual light, and instantly began to buzz, causing the surrounding cultivators to experience a ringing in their ears.

"What a wonderful ritual implement!"

"Could it be a top-grade flying sword? The Ruyi Heart Sword that was brought out!"

The surrounding cultivators were shaken. Even those driven by greed had a glimmer of clarity in their eyes, and they stopped in their tracks, intimidated by the power of the Azure Water Sword.

I ask you, we were all once poor, when have we ever seen such a treasure?

If it weren't for a few people knowing that Ancestor Fengxin had always wielded this blood-red longsword, the fact that he killed Manwu and stole the Ruyi Heart Sword that night would probably be exposed immediately.

"Where is the breakthrough method you mentioned?"

Yu Da's tone softened, showing a clearer sense of urgency.

"Of course I know, and I can even tell you where to get that method, but..."

Li Jieqing's expression was one of a half-smile.

Upon hearing that they could obtain it, the surrounding rogue cultivators were overjoyed, as if the clouds had parted to reveal a clear sky. Old Fishman's face beamed with a smile like a chrysanthemum.

Compared to taking action now, news of a breakthrough is naturally more important.

"But what? Please tell me, Ancestor, has Fairy Shecai given any instructions?!"

Some quick-witted cultivators immediately asked.

Heaven knows that Taipingfang Market has been around for two hundred years, and the people there are practically going crazy trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Li Jieqing shook his head and said, "The so-called Dharma should not be passed on to six ears. Considering how firm your Daoist hearts are, it is no problem to say it. However, I am very dissatisfied with Yu Da's tone just now. I am afraid that I am not fortunate enough to receive this Dharma."

Bang!

It landed with a resounding sound.

Li Jieqing glanced at him and saw that Yu Da had already knelt down in front of him. His expression changed, and he suddenly burst into tears.

"Please, venerable ancestor, have mercy on me! I, Yu, have no other options, which is why I lost my composure for a moment!"

Li Jieqing suddenly wanted to laugh.

For the independent cultivators of Taipingfang, nothing is more important than how to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. The Ruyi Sect has set up one shackle after another, causing Taipingfang to suffer for two hundred years. Now that they have finally seen hope, how can they not be anxious?

Upon seeing Yu Da's expression again, Li Jieqing actually burst out laughing.

"Pity you? No problem—!"

The Azure Water Sword's power surged, and it instantly shot forward!

Like a flash of light, which of the anxious cultivators present could see the sword?

Only Yu Da!

As the one who instigated the most hatred, he had been on guard all along, so how could he not be angry at this moment?

Knowing all along that the flying sword was powerful, they immediately used all their skills.

"—You dare to lay a hand on me!"

A gust of wind suddenly arose!

In the blink of an eye, Lord Yu's head fell to the ground, and he only managed to utter half of the words he was about to use to curse Li Jieqing.

Li Jieqing sheathed his sword and casually tossed down twenty lightning pellets, creating two concentric circles that scattered at his feet, covering an area around him like a protective barrier.

"That will ease my anger a little," he said.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment.

Everyone knows that Yu Da has recently benefited from this and has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, his soul departed for the deepest hell; how terrifying!
