51: Go to Rogue Mountain again

"What's inside?"

Xu Qi'an immediately activated his Spiritual Power shield and probed with his Divine Sense, then discovered a familiar figure.

It was Blood Fiend!

"This old monster isn't dead yet?" Xu Qi'an's expression changed slightly, but he then saw Blood Fiend's entire body bound by numerous Restrictions, completely unable to move.

As Xu Qi'an was surprised, Blood Fiend was equally surprised.

"Core Formation Cultivator? Who are you?"

But after he sensed Xu Qi'an more carefully, he realized that the Core Formation Cultivator before him was the same person from the bronze ancient palace, and his face instantly lost color.

"You are that person, you've reached Core Formation?"

"How is that possible?"

"How could you be so fast?"

"Even that kid Cloud Maple failed, how could you successfully Breakthrough?"

Xu Qi'an, however, stroked his chin, a faint smile appearing on his face. He had already sensed the man's aura, which was extremely weak.

"Although I don't know why Blood Fiend isn't dead, encountering me today means he's certainly doomed!"

He laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Fellow Daoist Blood of the Blood Spirit Sect."

Blood Fiend's face instantly turned ashen. He only needed another year or so to escape, but he hadn't expected to encounter this harbinger of disaster.

Blood Fiend quickly pleaded, "Fellow Daoist, let's talk this over properly. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Xu Qi'an glanced at him, then sealed the broken Restriction hole on Blood Fiend's body, and coldly said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

When Blood Fiend saw the Restriction he had painstakingly broken being instantly mended, he felt like dying.

But he still forced a smile and said, "There is, Fellow Daoist, there absolutely is."

"I'll give you all the secret techniques and scriptures of my Blood Spirit Sect!"

"Loose Cultivators like us are most suitable for Cultivating the Blood Dao. The Blood Dao doesn't care about natural Aptitude at all!"

"I guarantee that once you Cultivate the Blood Dao, your Cultivation will soar!"

Xu Qi'an remained expressionless, then cursed, "Who the hell told you I'm a Loose Cultivator? I'm the Sect Master of Floating Cloud Sect now!"

"Your Blood Dao Cultivation Techniques aren't even worth a single strand of Floating Cloud Sect's!"

"Moreover, this Heavenly Dao Sect is a Righteous Path Sect. Are you trying to make me seek death?"

Who would have thought that upon hearing the word 'Sect Master', Blood Fiend immediately spoke happily, "That's even better, Fellow Daoist! Isn't this a great opportunity to Cultivate the Blood Dao? The tens of millions of Cultivators and Mortals in Yue Country are all at your disposal!"

Xu Qi'an fell silent. He felt that those who Cultivated the Demonic Path had something wrong with their brains.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I'll send you on your way now."

"On the Yellow Springs Road, you can properly apologize to all those departed souls!"

As soon as he spoke, a sword light was about to shoot out.

"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist! I know a method that can enhance Spiritual Roots!"

"Oh?"

This sentence piqued Xu Qi'an's curiosity.

He only had a Low Grade Wood Spiritual Root, and this aspect had always been his shortcoming.

Especially after reaching the Core Formation Stage, his Cultivation speed was basically at a snail's pace.

Xu Qi'an highly suspected that even in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi like Nie Fuyun's Immortal Cave, it would probably take him one or two hundred years to Cultivate to the Core Formation Middle Stage!

Let alone Cultivating to the Core Formation Late Stage!

"Speak!"

Blood Fiend choked back a sob, then earnestly said, "If I tell you, can Fellow Daoist spare my life?"

The sword light in Xu Qi'an's hand intensified slightly.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! The method to enhance Spiritual Roots is located in Pizi Yanzi Mountain, five hundred kilometers south of Floating Cloud Sect!"

"South of Floating Cloud Sect, isn't that in the direction of Qingzhu Market?"

"And Pizi Yanzi Mountain? Pizi Mountain?"

"Is it that place!"

Xu Qi'an suddenly remembered the place he was tricked into going by two Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators when he was in the Qi Refinement Stage.

The periphery of that place had a Blood-colored Formation similar to the Foundation Establishment level. What was very strange was that there was actually a female voice inside.

At that time, Xu Qi'an found it quite strange, so he didn't stay there. After so many years, he had overlooked that place.

"Anything else to say?"

"Nothing else. I only know that there is a method to enhance Spiritual Roots there, but I don't know the specifics."

Xu Qi'an glanced at Blood Fiend, then reinforced several Restrictions, confirming that Blood Fiend could not escape. He then left the Immortal Cave and flew towards Pizi Mountain.

"I want to see what kind of evil spirits are in there!"

Blood Fiend was at most close to the Core Formation level, so Xu Qi'an was not too worried.

However, to be safe, he still refined the three Magic Treasures he had obtained from the Blood Spirit Sect while flying.

Five hundred kilometers was but a moment.

Soon, Xu Qi'an once again stepped into Pizi Mountain and entered that cave.

The cave was arranged the same as when Xu Qi'an was in the Qi Refinement Stage, and had not been discovered.

Xu Qi'an stood inside the cave, the Blood-colored Formation in front of him still fluctuating.

"Save me!"

Just then, the familiar female voice inside the Blood-colored Formation rang out again.

Xu Qi'an, however, was not in a hurry and directly began to refine the three Magic Treasures.

Ten days later.

After Xu Qi'an successfully refined the three Magic Treasures, he then carefully examined the Blood-colored Formation.

"Heh heh, a mere Foundation Establishment Formation, I, Xu Qi'an, can shatter it with a flick of my finger!"

Xu Qi'an did not use Magic Treasures for now, but instead took out the High Grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact, Ting He Sword!

A faint moonlight flashed, and the Blood-colored grand Formation immediately shattered.

Revealing everything inside.

Inside the Blood-colored Formation was only a Blood-colored coffin, and the female voice seemed to be coming from this coffin.

As Xu Qi'an got closer, the voice became more and more intense.

"Save me!"

"Save me!!!"

"Save me!!!!"

This voice seemed to carry some kind of demonic power, affecting the Divine Sense of Cultivators.

However, Xu Qi'an was a Core Formation Cultivator, so the influence of this demonic sound on him was already negligible.

"Blood Fiend revealing this secret definitely had ill intentions."

"But if it's just something at the Foundation Establishment level, how could it threaten me?"

"Or is what he said true?"

But Xu Qi'an did not dare to be too careless.

Xu Qi'an did not move forward, but instead made full preparations all over his body, filling himself with large and small Tier 2 super-grade Talismans. Only then did he use the sword body to pry open the coffin lid.

Instantly, a Blood-colored object resembling a tree stump flew out from inside the coffin.

Before Xu Qi'an could even see clearly, he saw the Blood-colored object instantly teleport and drill into his body.

"What the hell is this thing!"

Xu Qi'an was full of surprise, and immediately saw the Blood-colored object enter his Dantian, heading towards the location of his Wood Spiritual Root.

"What is this thing trying to do! Is it going to devour my Spiritual Root!"

Xu Qi'an used all his Spiritual Power, but found that he couldn't control this object at all!

"This thing is too Heaven-Defying!"

"So Blood Fiend harbored such intentions to harm me!"

At this critical moment, the Omnipotent Treasure Basin in Xu Qi'an's mind stirred slightly!

This just gave Xu Qi'an a signal!

He immediately used all his Spiritual Power to wrap the Blood-colored object, then activated the Omnipotent Treasure Basin.

Instantly, the Blood-colored object disappeared from his body, and after only one breath, it landed in his hand. Its strange aura instantly vanished, becoming Xu Qi'an's possession.

After experiencing this life-and-death calamity, Xu Qi'an's face was somewhat ashen.

"Blood Fiend!!!"

"If I don't kill you, I swear I'm not human!"
