Vampire Cultivation Notes

This was because the construction of Xiaoxin Island was too much for the Ruyi Sect members to handle, which is why they issued this decree.

There were other considerations as well. The cultivators who received the reclamation order were specifically instructed to obey the orders of the Seven True Ones, not the Ruyi Sect.

This was the selfish motive of those seven who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Before heading north to land, I encountered a Foundation Establishment man using his divine sense to measure the coastline, which must have been preparation for this land reclamation.

Li Jieqing seemed to understand, but said, "The sacred land is originally unclaimed, but judging from what the Ruyi Sect says, it's as if it was distributed to us, and then taken back after we die?"

"Why did Fellow Daoist Wangyue think of such a thing?"

Master Jinwu asked in bewilderment, "After we die, what do we care about a raging flood? We should seize this once-in-a-century opportunity!"

"That's true..."

Li Jieqing isn't only destined to live for a hundred years, so naturally he subconsciously values ​​the duration of property rights.

The reason why the Ruyi Sect set this rule for the Seven Foundation Establishment cultivators is probably because they don't think many of the pioneers will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. So they use the pioneering order to drive the rogue cultivators to do things now, and they will take back the spiritual land in a few decades. By then, the immortal city will be almost completed.

Despite being a cultivator from a superior sect, his business acumen is quite impressive.

"So, what does Fellow Daoist Wangyue mean?"

Master Jinwu put down his wine cup again and looked over with piercing eyes.

He told them the news and said many nice things, all in an effort to win Li Jieqing over.

The monsters to the north are not to be trifled with. With that late-stage Tier 1 Moon Gazing Eel around, the task of clearing the land will be twice as effective.

"Go, why wouldn't you go?"

Li Jieqing smiled and agreed.

However, he couldn't just set out like that. Not even a year had passed yet, and he didn't want to get close to Wangyue Valley now.

We need to play it safe and see how things develop.

"Reclaiming spiritual land is not something that can be done overnight, nor can it be accomplished by one person alone. Fellow Daoist Jinwu, why don't you first obtain the reclamation order and make preparations?"

Li Jieqing said, "As for this humble Taoist, the mount I subdued is wild and untamed, so I need to temper its nature in this mortal world where spiritual energy is scarce."

"This...it's extremely urgent!"

Master Jinwu was somewhat displeased. Why did this person still want to push himself to the front?

"I thought..."

"When the time comes to clear the wasteland and transform the raw land into cultivated land, Fellow Daoist Jinwu will take the lead and choose a spiritual land for cultivation first."

"I thought—we should do as you suggested!"

Master Jinwu abruptly changed the subject, patting his chest to assure him.

It should be understood that even within the same spiritual vein, different areas can have varying degrees of spiritual energy. Some places have abundant spiritual energy, while others have weak spiritual energy. Furthermore, the special products found in different spiritual lands also vary. There are many intricacies involved in this process.

I originally thought I would have to go through a lot of trouble to fight for it, but now that Li Jieqing has given it up directly, how could I not be happy?

"Fellow Daoist, please sit comfortably. Leave the preliminary preparations to me!"

Master Jinwu laughed heartily.

This matter is settled. Only those at the late stage of Qi Refining can receive the pioneering order, and even those at the late stage of Qi Refining are not a direct opponent for ordinary late-stage first-tier monsters unless they are in groups.

With Li Jieqing's arrival today, the task of reclaiming the wasteland is already half complete.

boom…

The wine-pouring maidservant was startled by the laughter of the Venerable Jinwu. Her waist went limp, and she fell to the ground along with the wine pot.

She tried to get up in a hurry, but made a mistake and tripped on her skirt, falling to the ground. The wine splashed all over her, seeping through the thin layer of clothing.

"You sculptors, how dare you spoil my refined pleasure!"

Master Jinwu raised his palm, but then remembered that Li Jieqing was still there, so he lowered it.

He turned around, looked at Li Jieqing who was sitting in the guest seat with an expressionless face, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I only look at such mortals and never touch them. It's a pity that you can't even hold a wine stand properly."

Master Jinwu, at the age of thirty, had already reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and naturally possessed composure.

Preserving one's vital energy is highly beneficial for spiritual practice.

Li Jieqing's expression remained unchanged. He simply said, "I've heard that in the past, in the back streets of Taiping Market, there lingered bewitching cultivators. Their skin was flawless like white porcelain, their alluring eyes delicate as if painted, and their figures captivating fellow cultivators. They were a hundred times more beautiful than the filthy women of the mortal world. If you wish to see them, why linger among these worldly women?"

Upon hearing this, the Venerable Jinwu, who had remained a virgin for thirty years, quickly wiped his mouth to avoid losing his composure.

"What you say is true, fellow Daoist... In any case, my Little Xin Island is about to prosper, so I should be careful about my own cultivation. I will send all the daughters of the family back now."

Master Jinwu realized that Li Jieqing was speaking up for mortals, so he smiled, sent the woman who had fallen to the ground away, and also drove away more than three hundred women of extraordinary appearance who were outside holding fruit platters, offering food, dancing in the corridor, or playing music in the garden.

After the others had left, Venerable Jinwu came back and discussed the details of the land reclamation order with Li Jieqing for a while.

As they were about to take their leave, the Venerable Jinwu called out to Li Jieqing again, advising, "I know you have done great deeds in protecting the people of Weize Township, but we cultivators should focus our minds on the path of immortality. Why should we worry about those mortals?"

However, Li Jieqing had asked him to release the fallen immortal and return the woman, which displeased him, hence his words.

Li Jieqing swept his whisk, did not argue, and simply smiled and said, "What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist."

I, the True Immortal of Gazing at the Moon, have done my bidding. What do a mere Fallen Immortal know? I utterly disdain to argue with you.

No matter how you look at it, today was truly a fruitful day.

Not only did he gain clarity on his future path of cultivation, but he also thwarted the fallen immortals and liberated three hundred respectable women, a truly great achievement.

What a headache! What if the incense offerings for this immortal become too abundant in the future?

……

……

In the past two years, the chaos caused by the Hundred Immortals in the Great Xin Dynasty has been completely quelled.

It wasn't that the hundred immortals had determined a winner, but rather that the flourishing of the spiritual lands beyond the realms attracted all the troublesome cultivators away.

No delicacy can compare to a bowl of Lingmi rice.

Gold and silver jewelry are not as valuable as a piece of precious stone.

A mere glance from a mortal woman is worth more than a seductive cultivator's undress.

The struggle for dynastic supremacy is no match for the path to immortality.

Cultivating immortality is the only true enjoyment, but unfortunately, I was completely overwhelmed by the demon tiger in the past.

Now that the path to immortality has reopened, who would still want to stay in this mortal realm?

However, after the cultivators moved back, the chaos in the Great Xin Dynasty did not stop, as it was the end of the dynasty and a time of transition.

Outside, chaos reigned, war raged, and only ordinary people remained, making the fighting even more brutal.

In contrast, the area surrounding Weize Township in Jinwu Prefecture became a paradise on earth. There was a man named Li Longxiu, who was said to have risen up by slaying demons, seized counties amidst the chaos, defended against powerful enemies and quelled the rebellion of displaced people and bandits.

This day.

Li Jieqing brought rain to Weize Township one last time. After finishing his work, he descended the mountain behind the village, packed his things, and prepared to leave.

The Venerable Jinwu has already fought with others and seized the land reclamation order. He has been urging him to keep the appointment several times recently.

Having avoided the limelight for two years, it's time to leave.

On the hilltop, outside the giant stone cave.

Li Longxiu, who had already become the master of a power, waited alone, still dressed in coarse linen clothes, wearing a wooden crown on his head, and kowtowing at the foot of the stone.

"I have heard that the immortal master also intends to return to the realm beyond the mundane world, and I am tossing and turning in my sleep. Now I am willing to serve the immortal master, to hold his whip and stirrup, and to devote myself to the utmost... I only ask for an opportunity to cultivate."

Li Jieqing descended from the sky, his gaze falling on the man's rough skin and unadorned clothing.

After a long pause, he shook his head.

"You are too kind-hearted; you are not suited for cultivating immortality."
