Vampire Cultivation Notes

Two years ago, Old Liu heard about what happened in the ruins of Taipingfang City.

A group of renowned rogue cultivators in Taipingfang City, such as the Yu brothers, Madam Zhao, Old Fishman, Five-Quan Monk, Scorpion Lady, and others, were all wiped out by the Fengxin Ancestor Zhao Zhengqing, who only knew how to refine pills behind closed doors and never fought with others. Not a single one of them survived.

Old Liu was deeply shocked and couldn't help but sigh at how strange the world had become. He thought to himself that it was fortunate he had stopped and run away quickly, and hadn't gotten deeper and deeper into the chaotic vortex of the Taipingfang City ruins.

Now that he's getting on in years, he's genuinely interested in the reclamation order and wants to leave something for future generations.

"Old Liu has spent his life killing and arson, and now he wants to retire from public life, tsk tsk..."

Li Jieqing inwardly grumbled, but outwardly remained calm.

He had already tested him, and in front of Old Liu, an old acquaintance, his disguise was flawless.

Let's drink a big cup of wine.

"Who is this?" Li Jieqing asked, looking at the last young man who was at the late stage of Qi Refining.

The Venerable Jinwu laughed and said, "This is Fellow Daoist Luqiu. He is very skilled. He was a demon hunter who was stranded in the wilderness when the White Tiger was rampaging. He fought his way up with sword and spear and became a master demon hunter. Two years ago, he was given a seat in the mortal world's spiritual veins."

Luqiu had a long steel spear stuck in his side, two long swords at his waist, and was wearing armor.

It's obvious at a glance that this is a close-combat fighting style rarely seen among cultivators.

"Oh, remarkable! Truly, a hero emerges from among the young." Li Jieqing made a seal in front of him as a greeting.

He felt a certain familiarity with this place, but he couldn't quite place it.

I wonder where I saw it before?

And this person...

Li Jieqing greeted him, but Luqiu remained silent for a long time.

Everyone looked and saw that the man was staring straight at the first-tier eel stretching its body behind Li Jieqing.

"Fellow Daoist Luqiu?" Daoist Jinwu frowned slightly.

Lu Qiu snapped out of his daze and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wangyue... I've heard that you spent several years in the spiritless mortal realm in order to subdue this demon?"

"Exactly."

"I don't know..."

Luqiu was about to ask what kind of beast-taming technique was used, but then he thought it would be inappropriate to ask about this as soon as they met, as it would only offend everyone.

If we were to investigate further later, it might not be so easy, so we had no choice but to suppress the question that had been on our minds.

"When we are clearing the land, we will have to rely on Fellow Daoist Wangyue's skills. I am willing to protect you as you command the demons."

Luqiu drew his steel spear from the side and cupped his hands in front of him.

"Alright."

Li Jieqing stared at the hill, while the person opposite him looked over.

Li Jieqing smiled, while Luqiu remained expressionless. After a moment, he turned his head away.

Just who is this guy...?

Seeing this situation, Li Jieqing couldn't help but have some doubts.

Of the five late-stage Qi Refining cultivators present, he knew the backgrounds of four of them, but Lu Qiu was somewhat special; perhaps he should ask around to find out more about him.

If something seems wrong, you should run away.

"Now that you have all met, let's not delay and set off."

"Fellow Daoist Jinwu, Fellow Daoist Yu, are you going to explore the wilderness if you haven't even reached the late stage of Qi Refining?"

Li Jieqing hadn't been here before, so he didn't know much about the specific land reclamation assignments. He only knew that they were assigned to this northern part of Xiaoxin Island.

The sea route northward was not yet open, so they had to force their way through the wilderness by land.

Apart from the six of them who were at the late stage of Qi Refining, the other Qi Refining cultivators were weak. Xuan Zhi Mo Xuan said: Read this book! It would be difficult to defeat any larger demon beast in a one-on-one fight—unless the opponent had just hatched and been weaned.

The monster race is just that fierce.

The classification of first-tier, mid-to-late stage demonic beasts is based on the cultivator's own cultivation level. However, in reality, once a large demonic beast reaches adulthood, it can basically overwhelm an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

These are demonic beasts that are close to breaking through to the second-tier great demon, that is, those at the peak of the first tier. Even if such demonic beasts come from small demonic beast groups, relying on their vigorous demonic energy and tough demonic bodies, they are enough to fight a Foundation Establishment cultivator for several rounds.

Back then, Master Baozhou, a senior Foundation Establishment cultivator from a prestigious sect, struggled to kill the White Tiger, who was still at the peak of the first rank, which led to his eventual death and dissipation.

One of the inherent factors is that the White Tiger is a large demonic beast, and that it gained supernatural powers after eating the Green Lotus Seed.

But this also demonstrates the formidable power of the monsters.

"Fellow Daoist Wangyue, please do not find my clansmen a burden."

Yu Fanqian then said quite seriously, "Reclaiming wasteland and transforming uncultivated land into fertile land is the mission of the upper sect, and we should do our best. Since we are going to take the benefits of that new spiritual land, we should also bear the losses incurred!"

Besides the Yu family cultivators, there were also several people brought by Old Liu and Venerable Jinwu.

In addition to direct combat, manpower was needed in other areas as well when heading north to reclaim wasteland.

Only Luqiu and Li Jieqing came alone.

"Since you have such awareness, I have no objection." Li Jieqing glanced at the slightly somber-looking Venerable Jinwu beside him, swept his whisk back onto Huang Chong'er's head.

In fact, before Li Jieqing returned, the group had already engaged in several open and covert struggles.

"Since there are no objections, everyone—head north!"

On the north side of the newly built Seven True Immortal City, more than thirty cultivators set off in a flurry of activity beside the newly opened spiritual fields.

Master Jinwu rode a paper crane, the Yu family men and women flew on swords, and Old Liu and Luqiu flew on their own, relying on their late-stage Qi Refining cultivation.

Li Jieqing rode on the ground, keeping pace with the five people around him.

Behind them were a group of cultivators at the mid-to-late stage of Qi Refining. Some flew using certain methods, some ran on the ground using lightness techniques, and most followed closely on horned zebras.

The horned zebra is a popular top-class pack animal in Taipingfang City. It is two zhang long and has some demonic beast blood in its body. As long as it is well-fed, it can carry heavy loads for two or three thousand li a day.

The sight of such a large group of people traveling together was quite impressive.

After traveling for most of the day, they had ventured deep into the northern wilderness inhabited by monsters, and the group began to slow down.

It was at this moment that Li Jieqing, who was sitting cross-legged on the head of the yellow worm, realized that a large number of pioneering cultivators had appeared throughout the northern part of Xiaoxin Island. They were busy hunting and driving away demonic beasts and repairing the earth's veins, creating a scene of bustling activity.

Even if they found a first-tier peak demon beast, those pioneering cultivators would not fight against it, but would hastily retreat and return to report to the Seven True Immortal Cities of Ruyi Sect.

Judging from the condition of the northern lands, the Ruyi Sect will roughly plow through the land once, and then the pioneering cultivators will carry out a more detailed plowing.

It is no exaggeration to say that we will be able to transform raw land into cultivated land within ten years.

"Luckily, I didn't hide in the north to cultivate directly, otherwise I wouldn't even know if they came knocking on my door again one day..."

Li Jieqing opened his eyes and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the surrounding cultivators above and below, deeply realizing that he was in the midst of a trend of the times.

The monster scourge that plagued Taipingfang for two hundred years is about to be completely quelled.

This was entirely due to the wishes of the seventh foundation-building cultivator of the upper sect.

In the world of cultivation, strength truly is everything.

The will of the upper-level cultivators is the overwhelming trend of the world.

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Blood Clan Cultivation Notes":
