Vampire Cultivation Notes

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

At this moment, on the hill behind Weize Township, the immortal, who was actually Li Jieqing in disguise, stood with his hands behind his back, watching the villagers retreat with their long, dragon-like torches, and nodded slightly.

Beside it, the moon-gazing eel was still feeling quite aggrieved. It was bad enough that it had come to this place but had no food to eat, but now even its moon-gazing was being disturbed. There was really no way to reason with it.

Seeing that Li Jieqing ignored it, it had no choice but to quietly absorb the moonlight to the side again.

Now, its thirteen-foot-tall body stands taller than an ancient tree reaching for the sky.

No wonder it terrified the villagers.

This Moon-Gazing Eel is none other than Huang Chong'er, who was subdued by Li Jieqing using the Blood Sacrifice Mind-Spirit Technique. Back then, it was already at the mid-stage of the first rank and had been following Li Jieqing to farm and eat like crazy. Now, it has naturally become a rare post-first rank Moon-Gazing Eel.

Not only did it grow to thirteen zhang in length, but it also developed a ring of scales on its body, and its roars were incredibly powerful.

"Who told you to show your face so often? You only managed to hide halfway, and now you're causing trouble, but who can you blame?"

Li Jieqing turned around, glanced at the yellow insect beside him, swept his whisk, and walked straight up the hill to a spot between some huge rocks.

Hearing the call, the yellow insect reluctantly gave up breathing in the moonlight, swam over, and pushed the boulder aside with its head.

A dark hole appeared from within.

Behind this giant rock lies a hidden world.

The people of Weize Township were completely unaware of this.

This was a backup plan that Li Jieqing had prepared for himself several years ago. It was hidden in the mortal world, and the surrounding area was neither a high mountain nor a place of spiritual energy, making it the most convenient way to avoid cultivators.

About three months ago, the seventh Foundation Establishment cultivator of Ruyi Sect descended. At that time, after being informed by Scorpion Lady, Li Jieqing decisively chose to run away. While destroying the cave in Taipingfang Market, he also let Huang Chong'er run away in the group of Moon Gazing Eel Demons outside, and then they would reunite later.

For some reason, it all turned out to be too much of a coincidence.

As soon as they set sail, before they could even see the reception platform, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ruyi Sect flew in from the sky.

Li Jieqing had no time to recall Huang Chong; he could only rush to save his own life.

After Huang Chong'er wandered out of Taipingfang Market, he was no longer under control and roamed freely in the wilderness. In the end, he actually came to Wei Ze Township and settled down there.

To be honest, Li Jieqing had discovered the yellow worm when he came to the backup base in Weize Township more than a month ago, but he didn't dare to recognize it. He used a skillful Blood Escape technique to run more than a thousand miles away, fearing that someone was setting a trap for him again.

As a result, no one came to hunt them down.

Li Jieqing waited for more than a month, carefully observing the situation in the surrounding area before feeling at ease and choosing today to make a dazzling appearance.

Perhaps because he had been exposed to the atmosphere of Wei Ze Township here while setting up his base, Huang Chong'er, after wandering around Taipingfang City, finally chose to stop here.

If Li Jieqing doesn't appear for another few months or half a year, the yellow worm will most likely leave again due to the scarcity of spiritual energy.

"You're quite loyal. Keep up the good work, and I won't treat you badly in the future."

Li Jieqing flicked a Qi-Nourishing Pill into the mouth of a yellow worm outside the door, then waved it away and sent it outside to stand guard.

The yellow worm swallowed the pill, flicked its tail, and excitedly burrowed into the ground outside the door, casually turning over two acres of land in the mountains.

Li Jieqing nodded slightly as he watched this scene.

He has already made up his mind.

From this day forward, I will change my identity and be called the Moon Gazing Taoist!

Back then, the One-Horned Taoist was called the One-Horned Taoist because he could control a one-horned demon snake.

Similarly, it is only natural for him to command a moon-gazing eel and reappear as the Moon-gazing Taoist.

Having mastered the Taoist practice of "Zhou Tian Gan Ying Jing" and possessing the magical power to alter one's appearance in countless ways, disguising oneself as a Taoist cultivator would be no problem.

As for who the Bloodhand Demon is?

We're really not familiar with each other.

This new identity was not chosen randomly.

Li Jieqing had never revealed the Yellow Worm, a late-stage Tier 1 Moon Gazing Eel, and even Scorpion Lady, who did not go underground, was unaware of it.

With his identity as the Moon Gazing Daoist, he can now command a late-stage first-tier Moon Gazing Eel, which will be enough for him to establish himself among independent cultivators.

If there is any conflict, just let Wangyue Shan handle it; his power from the "Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record" is hard to expose.

This is the first layer of disguise.

Even if the power of the "Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record" is exposed, Li Jieqing still has this technique, which he deliberately spread in the past, as a cover.

What's wrong with Wangyue Daoren, a first-level rogue cultivator, wanting to learn a foundation-building technique?

Please, please, the sect leader, stop investigating demonic cultivation techniques!

This is the second layer of disguise.

Then there's the ability to change appearance with a thousand transformations. Top-grade magic artifacts can influence Foundation Establishment, and with Li Jieqing using the Treasure Nourishing Technique, the further one goes, the harder it is to see through the disguise.

This is the third floor.

As for the fourth floor...

Inside the dark, unfinished cave, Li Jieqing raised his hand and took out the second-grade Ruyi Green Lotus.

The four-sided chessboard still held the blue lotus, with water flowing into the depressions to nourish it and prevent this spiritual plant from withering completely.

When Li Jieqing was being hunted down and had to flee to save his lifespan, he came up with an idea: he would go directly to the secluded place of Wanbaoge and steal countless spiritual items and countless books from Wanbaoge.

Many classic texts cannot be read in one's lifetime without a long period of study.

Fortunately, when Li Jieqing was out hunting for yellow insects last month, he happened to find something among the miscellaneous books on the shelf in the stone chamber where the Fairy of Luxury Colors had fallen. The description of this four-fold trap chessboard was exactly the same.

This stubborn rock-like thing is not some naturally occurring spiritual object, but a magical treasure that only a Golden Core True Monarch can use!

It is called the Great Evolution Chessboard!

This Great Evolution Chessboard can not only assist Golden Core True Monarchs in deducing heavenly secrets and calculating all laws, but it also has the effect of concealing heavenly secrets and preventing others from calculating them. It is considered a top-tier magic weapon among Golden Core cultivators.

This treasure ended up in Li Jieqing's hands.

After realizing the origin of the Dayan Chessboard, Li Jieqing was almost completely shaken.

Should we thank our brother Jiang Wei and his family, or thank the Ruyi Sect for their ignorant education in Taiping Market, which prevented Scorpion Lady from recognizing the treasure and delivered this golden elixir to her doorstep for nothing?

This is a magnificent Golden Core magic weapon, far more profound and mysterious than the magic tools used by Qi Refining cultivators.

No wonder I couldn't even find the restriction that allowed me to recognize my master.

Even so, with the Great Evolution Chessboard that passively conceals the secrets of heaven, even the Golden Core cultivators of the Ruyi Sect cannot calculate Li Jieqing's location, let alone the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators on the island.

This is the fourth layer of disguise.

And then there's his identity as Li Bo of the Danfang Sect, who died long ago, which goes without saying. He died a natural death at the hands of a calamity cultivator and has long been forgotten.

"Unless a cultivator stronger than the Golden Core stage, such as a Nascent Soul cultivator truly hailed as an 'immortal,' intervenes, otherwise I..."

Halfway through his speech, Li Jieqing stopped talking.

Just focus on your spiritual practice; don't try to plant flags behind your back.
