Vampire Cultivation Notes

With this thought in mind, Li Jieqing began to ponder his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage once again.

He is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. As long as he finds a spiritual place to cultivate in peace and uses the spiritual medicine that the Ruyi Green Lotus helps to mature to refine pills, he can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining in ten years at most, and complete his Qi Refining cultivation in fifteen years at most, and prepare to establish his foundation.

The three stages of foundation building involve the transformation of true qi quality, spiritual consciousness, and true qi itself.

In practicing the "Secret Record of Freedom of Blood and Heart," as long as you follow the steps to cultivate until you reach the perfection of Qi refinement, your true Qi will naturally be qualified.

The only real problem is the opening of the Niwan Palace to generate divine consciousness and the transformation of magical power into jade liquid.

The process of opening the Niwan Palace is relatively simple, as Li Jieqing, who practiced the "Secret Record of Blood Heart Freedom," already had experience in opening the heart chamber.

In addition, since he shattered his golden body with the longsword and sensed the Taihuang Heaven high above, he has discovered that he can sense the divine sense of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ruyi Sect.

Li Jieqing felt that this ability, which he had never heard of being possessed by any other cultivator in Taipingfang City, would probably make opening his Niwan Palace easier.

The remaining key lies in the transformation of true qi.

According to the cultivation method recorded in "The Secret Record of Blood Heart Freedom", one can transform true qi into reality and jade liquid into true essence to meet the requirements for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, this process is extremely dangerous. If it fails, one's true energy will dissipate, and it is common for cultivators to die and perish.

Li Jieqing looked at it from all angles, but still felt it was not very reliable.

"I need Foundation Establishment Pills to save my life..."

Li Jieqing muttered a few words and shook his head.

He robbed Wanbaoge and gained a lot, including the knowledge that the legendary Foundation Establishment Pill had one of its effects.

That kind of pill is precious, requiring the use of various spiritual herbs that can only be used in the Foundation Establishment stage. Its effects are equally powerful. It can not only assist a cultivator in transforming their magic power and becoming a Foundation Establishment True Person, but even if they fail, it can preserve the cultivator's true energy and most likely save their life.

Unfortunately, I've never seen any local independent practitioners.

"Given my physique, if I force a breakthrough and fail, I'll probably... survive?"

After much deliberation, Li Jieqing abandoned his rash idea.

Never mind, let's wait a little longer.

If the Ruyi Sect decides to continue blocking Foundation Establishment resources, then we will seek another way.

Before that, besides cultivation, one can find some resources for Foundation Establishment on their own, such as using a new identity to buy a ticket to go to sea and avoid the rudeness of the Ruyi Sect.

Even if it's difficult for locals to get boat tickets to travel, as long as they put their heart into it, and as long as the Ruyi Sect rebuilds the Jieyintai and opens the sea again, they can just spend decades planning for one.

Once you board the ship, you won't have to worry about getting lost in the boundless sea or not finding the sacred place.

Following the safe route, we probably won't encounter any more enormous monsters that seem to stretch as far as the eye can see.

Besides trying to get things overseas, another option is to look for items from Wanbaoge.

They had looted too much stuff before, and haphazardly packed it up like sacks to take away.

Among the spiritual stones, spiritual objects, and magical artifacts, there was only one bracelet-shaped magical artifact obtained from Fairy Shecai's stone chamber that I couldn't understand. I was studying it and slowly grinding down the internal restrictions with my magical power.

In addition, Li Jieqing has a vast collection of books that he has not yet compiled, including cultivation methods, spells, alchemy formulas, weapon crafting blueprints, formation blueprints, and even complete inheritances of many cultivation arts.

It would be more than enough to establish a small immortal cultivation family on Xin Island.

I have now established myself in the secular world and my spiritual practice is on the right track.

Li Jieqing decided to take another careful look at his findings.

……

……

"Does Fellow Daoist Jinwu mean that Taiping Market has been abandoned, and the Upper Sect is building Wangyue Valley?"

In the mansion where the Venerable Jinwu resided, the sounds of string and wind instruments never ceased.

Upon hearing the general news, Li Jieqing, who had arrived as promised, hurriedly asked, "Have the reception platform and ferry been repaired? Without a market, how will Xiaoxin Island communicate and connect with the outside world?"

The Venerable Jinwu laughed and said, "It's not that it's abandoned. Taipingfang still exists. It's conveniently located not far from the sea, so we can develop a few more areas there to raise spirit fish."

"In addition, the True Men of the Upper Sect have established rules to rebuild a new territory in Wangyue Valley, named after the Seven True Men. They will gather spiritual energy to raise demonic beasts and herbs; they will draw in earth fire to refine pills and weapons; they will inscribe 128,000 array patterns to pacify the vast sea and clouds; they will choose spiritual sites to spread the Dharma and recruit servants and outer disciples; they will widely recruit cultivators from the East Sea to attract human energy and resources."

"This is no longer a market town, but rather—"

"Immortal City!"

Li Jieqing let out a long breath and continued speaking.

He seemed to have already seen the future glory of Xiaoxin Island, relying on a near-third-tier spiritual vein to develop into a prosperous place for cultivation.

This is a good thing.

The saying "accepting all cultivators" means that the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ruyi Sect, especially the one who personally saw the Invisible Heavenly Sword, have probably given up on the pursuit.

Compared to searching for Li Jieqing, whose fate is unknown, these seven Foundation Establishment cultivators value the benefits of planning a future immortal city more.

"Fellow Daoist Wangyue, do you know what this means?"

Master Jinwu pushed aside the wine cup he always carried.

Despite being a cultivator, he was now flushed with excitement, his heart pounding with emotion.

"This Xiaoxin Island has a promising future, but it's currently in ruins. If we can seize the opportunity and gain the benefits first, we'll have a good chance of establishing our foundation and achieving enlightenment in the future!"

In the past two hundred years, Taipingfang City, and even the entire Xiaoxin Island, has never had a lone cultivator reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

No wonder Master Jinwu was so agitated.

Now, Ruyi Sect has chosen to carefully manage its local area, rather than casually focusing on Xiaoxin Island as it did before.

This means that the blockade on foundational resources will inevitably loosen in the future.

Otherwise, if the Seven Immortal Cities were built and filled with cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, they wouldn't be worthy of being called Immortal Cities, and they wouldn't attract the East Sea cultivators they spoke of.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down first. Although the opportunity has arisen, we still need to plan carefully."

Li Jieqing smiled, feeling quite pleased with himself at that moment.

Thankfully, he came back. There was no need for him to risk wandering around the sea. A new cultivation paradise has appeared on its own, which is truly reassuring.

"You're quite composed..."

Master Jinwu calmed down a bit and sat back down, looking rather annoyed. He wanted to see if Li Jieqing would still be able to sit still after hearing what was about to happen.

"Fellow Daoist, are you aware that the Supreme Master has issued a decree for the reclamation of the wilderness?"

"A land reclamation order?"

"Exactly!"

Master Jinwu beckoned, and a maidservant from the manor came forward, bending down to pour wine.

The unrestrained mountain peaks swayed precariously, revealing half of their snow-white slopes.

"The seven True Immortals of the Upper Sect are highly respected for their virtue and wisdom. They intend to issue a decree to open up the wilderness for the benefit of us scattered cultivators, instructing us to expand northward and subdue the uncultivated lands."

Master Jinwu drank a cup of wine, then laughed and said, "The spiritual lands obtained along the way belong to the one who pioneered them, as long as they abide by the Seven True Ones' decrees. As long as the pioneer lives, the Seven True Ones will never take them back. Moreover, even if one dies while seeking immortality, one's descendants can still apply to inherit the spiritual lands!"

A sacred land is a foundation that is almost indestructible, and this time it has the backing of the Ruyi Sect.

Which independent cultivator could possibly resist?
