Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 113 The Ruyi Heart Net Array

"Fellow Daoist Jinwu, please don't use that title, 'Brother Daoist.' If I'm not mistaken, you've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

Li Jieqing carefully examined the expression on his face.

Jinwu nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "It's all thanks to the sect's guidance that I've returned to the right path."

This statement implicitly suggests that only by cultivating high-grade true qi can one break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Brother Dao! I still don't know how you left the island today and came to this immortal city," Jinwu Shangren asked again.

Meeting that mocking gaze, Li Jieqing understood.

Just as Jinwu Shangren wished, he raised his sleeve to cover his face and sighed deeply.

"Alas... The Yu family is a serious matter. First, they seized the sacred land of Fellow Daoist Luqiu, then they forced you, Jinwu, to leave, and they still won't stop. Now they are blocking the trade route, which has greatly reduced my income. I had no choice but to come to this Seven Immortal Cities to beg for food."

Fish Home is really useful.

Li Jieqing thought to himself.

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing the satisfactory answer, Venerable Jinwu burst into laughter.

Back then, Li Jieqing and Old Liu watched him fight the Yu family alone. Did they ever imagine that the Yu family would grow so powerful today?

Even if he, Jinwu Shangren, had won back then, he would have used the same methods to completely control You She Hai; it would have been the same for everyone.

"Now that Brother Wangyue has been expelled from the Serpent Sea, he must have realized that blindly practicing asceticism is not the way of cultivation."

"Don't laugh at me. Leaving seclusion voluntarily doesn't count as being kicked out... How can the affairs of ascetics be considered being kicked out?"

Li Jieqing shook his head repeatedly.

The Venerable Jinwu was simply enjoying himself, and the room was filled with cheerful laughter.

"Goodbye."

Li Jieqing stood up abruptly, his face showing apparent anger.

In fact, Li Jieqing really didn't want to stay in such a cramped room, which was a place set up by the Seven True Disciples.

"Brother Dao, don't be angry!"

Master Jinwu hurriedly got up to stop him, thinking to himself that Daoist Wangyue's temper was growing. If he left like this, wouldn't it be a waste of the special invitation he had just given to make things convenient for him?

It turned out that Venerable Jinwu knew that Li Jieqing was an honest and upright ascetic with some virtues and a clean background.

People like this are just right to be recruited to help the Immortal City.

Currently, the Seven Immortals are engaged in open and covert struggles, and Jinwu Shangren, as a force affiliated with Baocheng Zhenren, naturally has his own calculations.

"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat."

At this moment, the shop owner also came in, carrying a cup of spirit wine.

The shopkeeper brought over a cup and said, "Drink this fine wine first, and then listen to what I have to say."

This pot of spiritual wine was specially warmed with a cup of blood bamboo sap given to it by Li Jieqing. Now, when poured out, it exudes a wonderful spiritual energy, its fragrance permeating the lungs.

A cup was placed before him. Li Jieqing smelled it and laughed, "It has to be from the Immortal City. Back when Taiping Market was still there, how could we rogue cultivators have ever seen such a treasure as spirit wine?"

He took a sip from the cup, concealing the spirit wine without leaving a trace, and stored it in the jade bracelet's space before sprinkling it into the koi pond.

The shopkeeper, unaware of the subtle action, eagerly drank a cup before stopping and smiling, "Now that you've come to the Immortal City, as long as you find the right path and work diligently, you'll have plenty of opportunities to appreciate new treasures in the future."

"Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Li Jieqing remained calm and glanced at the smiling and nodding Jinwu Shangren beside him, wanting to see what these two had in mind for keeping him here.

"Brother Dao," the Golden Wutong Master laughed, "Since you've decided to come here, why not abandon that remote and secluded Spiritual Land of the Wandering Serpent Sea? In my opinion, there's a good place to settle down under the tutelage of True Person Xianbao City in this uncharted territory. The world depicted by Xuan Zhi Mo Xuan is all in 'The Blood Clan Cultivation Notes'."

"this……"

That's it.

Li Jieqing shook his head and sighed, "It's not easy to give up on our foundation so soon. Please allow me to think it over carefully."

After a few words of persuasion, the smiling Venerable Jinwu's expression darkened. He was about to speak again when the shop owner stopped him with a glance.

The shopkeeper turned back, offering only a cup of wine, and said, "No rush. Fellow Daoist has his own plans regarding the spiritual land. Why would we force you?"

Anyway, when Venerable Jinwu first arrived, he was reluctant to part with that sacred land, but he still sold it a few years later. He can't escape this achievement.

"Actually, the reason I suddenly asked you to stay is because I have another request to make," the shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Ten days from now, the Seven Immortals will set out to sea to subdue the demon. When they do so, they will set up the Ruyi Heart Net Array, which requires some people to hold flags and erect the array nodes. My master, Master Baocheng, issued a decree three months ago to have people make arrangements. I have been searching for months, but among all the cultivators in the city, there are few who are useful and many who are just unknown. There is still one position that I have not found."

"To meet Fellow Daoist Wangyue today, is this not a stroke of good fortune?!"

The shop owner looked at it with great interest.

It was rare for the Seven Immortals to issue tasks all at once, so how could their disciples dare not take them seriously?

Just then, Venerable Jinwu mentioned the matter of the Serpent Sea, and he knew that there was a hermit there, who was the person in front of him.

With a clean and honest background, and a meager cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, who else would you use?

"The Ruyi Heart Net Formation?"

Li Jieqing was taken aback when he heard the name.

At this moment, Venerable Jinwu spoke with great admiration: "I have seen this formation and heard of its wonders. Once this formation is activated, it is common for it to connect tens of thousands of miles around. There are six Ruyi Heart Nets set up by the Seven True Ones, each with the ability to teleport. When combined with this formation, the net is so tight that it is impenetrable within tens of thousands of miles. There is nowhere for demons to escape within the formation."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded in satisfaction and said, "When the Seven True Ones set up the formation, they will go to fight the great demon. We will guard the formation flags for the Seven True Ones and control the six Ruyi Heart Nets at will. When the great demon is defeated, you and I will also have a share of the credit."

"ha--"

Li Jieqing suddenly burst out laughing.

So this was the same formation that had been chasing him around Xiaoxin Island that day—it certainly sounded impressive.

"What are you laughing at, fellow Daoist?" the shopkeeper asked.

Of course, it was the Seven True Ones of Laughter, but now only six Ruyi Heart Nets remain.

"The thought of being able to subdue a great demon and even hunt such a monster fills me with irresistible passion."

"So, fellow Daoist, you've agreed? Excellent!"

After laughing, Li Jieqing didn't immediately nod upon hearing this. Instead, he asked, "Are those nets in the formation usable? If they can't trap the great demon, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to get close?"

The shopkeeper said dismissively, "The Ruyi Heart Net is a famous treasure of the upper sect. The entire treasure is as one, and the net is tightly covered. Even if the thing inside struggles with immense strength, it will naturally disperse throughout the entire Ruyi Heart Net and be difficult to break. Unless a great method is used to attack from the inside out at the same time and break through every part of the net, this treasure will disintegrate."

"This mere demon is cunning but lacks intelligence. It relies solely on its uniquely beautiful appearance to wreak havoc. It should be unable to move once caught in the net. How could it possibly have the means to break through the net from both the inside and outside?"

"I see……"

Li Jieqing muttered a few words and nodded slightly.

"Since you have no objections, then I will record your name."

"Well, we don't know how many people will be traveling in total." Li Jieqing wasn't really keen on going.
