Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 146 Someone is fighting me with magic!

"We can't wait any longer. Two people, come with me to take a look!"

"Just say you're going to visit him to buy a few blue-water fish. If you can't find anything wrong, leave and have someone else investigate."

Cheng Yi finally spoke, helping the increasingly restless team make a decision.

The crowd responded, and two people immediately went with Cheng Yi to buy fish, while the rest remained on guard outside, ready to rush in at the slightest sound.

The young Taoist who had given up his demon core hadn't left yet. He watched Cheng Yi and the others enter the gate of the fish farm manager, filled with anticipation.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Then Cheng Yi and his companions went out again, together with the fish farm manager, to the center of the Bibo Fish Farm to select fish.

Seeing this, the other examining cultivators knew the outcome, looked at each other, and all shook their heads.

The young Taoist priest was bored, and without waiting for Cheng Yi and the others to return, he cupped his hands to his left and right, and took his leave.

He had been itching to trade his demon core for a treasure that could boost his cultivation.

……

We drove all the way back to our lodgings.

The young Taoist priest first asked someone to find a reliable alchemist in the Immortal City so that he could use a three-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit to prepare the elixir and maximize the absorption of its medicinal power.

While searching for an alchemist, he also began his seclusion, excitedly taking out the bottle of top-grade Qi-nourishing pills to cultivate.

More than half a month passed like this.

That morning.

The protective array kept issuing warnings, disturbing those in seclusion and forcing them to come out.

The young Taoist priest went outside in a huff and saw that it was his senior brother Chengwu, who was also a disciple of Master Baocheng, but had more seniority and was good at social maneuvering.

As soon as Chengwu saw you, he said, "Junior brother, you've finally shown up! When Master gave a lecture, I noticed that you hadn't taken on any duties and were always absent. I covered for you a few times, but this time Master specifically ordered you to go. Don't linger any longer."

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist priest quickly apologized and followed him out.

"I never expected my master to send word to me, sigh..."

The allure of top-grade elixirs captivated the young Taoist priest, who became so engrossed in cultivation that he forgot the passage of time.

He was now approaching the cave of Master Baocheng with a slight sense of trepidation.

During the journey, Cheng Wu brought up another matter, saying, "Last time, my junior brother asked me to help find an alchemist, and I have found one. He is an elderly veteran surnamed Dong, known as Master Dong. He had a reputation on Xiaoxin Island back when the Immortal City was established."

"Local indigenous people?"

The young Taoist muttered something to himself, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, the change of demon core made him afraid to ask his master, Master Baocheng, for help in refining pills. Otherwise, a three-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit should only be used by Foundation Establishment cultivators to refine pills, so as not to waste such a precious resource.

Before long, the two arrived at the cave dwelling of Master Baocheng.

Master Baocheng had a middle-aged appearance with a three-pronged beard, and exuded an imposing aura even without anger.

Cheng Wu took his leave, leaving only the young Taoist priest to answer the questions.

Master Baocheng sat upright on the futon and first asked about some of the challenges in cultivation. The young Taoist answered cautiously.

"It's only been a short time since I last saw you, but your internal energy has indeed improved somewhat."

Master Baocheng nodded, then changed the subject, asking, "How is the demon core I specially bestowed upon you the other day? Has anyone come to ask for it back?"

"what?"

"--Um!"

The young cultivator looked terrified. Seeing his expression, Master Baocheng's face turned cold, and he asked again, "What happened to the demon core?!"

"Reporting to Master, no one forced us to take it... but a senior brother, for no apparent reason, took some spiritual herbs and precious pills and exchanged them for a demon core from me."

"This disciple was greedy and gave away what Master had bestowed upon me. I beg Master's punishment!"

The young cultivator knelt on the ground, cursing himself for being so blinded by greed. He hadn't expected that the Demon Core Treasure City True Man would ask about it.

"Who replaced it, and when?"

Master Baocheng didn't care what the person below was thinking. The reason he was asking was not because the disciple had secretly exchanged something given by the sect for benefits.

Rather, that second-tier demon core was bait he deliberately released.

To achieve foundation building, all you need is a second-tier demon core.

Master Baocheng searched for over a year without finding any trace of Shecai, so he turned to look for the person Shecai had mentioned who was hiding in the shadows plotting to establish a foundation.

I originally thought that dealing with a mere Qi Refining cultivator would be easier.

As soon as he set up the net, he looked back and found that the bait was gone.

Hurry up and give birth!

"The senior brother in charge of the Azure Wave Fishing Grounds outside the city has been replaced for about a month!" the young cultivator replied quickly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Master Baocheng vanished, heading straight out of the city.

A month has passed, and now he's truly gotten angry.

The young Taoist priest had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the prayer mat was empty and he was at a loss for what to do.

Turning his head, he saw Master Baocheng enter from the entrance of the cave and beckoned to him.

"Master, spare my life!"

"Don't panic. I'll take you there directly this time, so you won't stay behind and get instigated by someone to commit suicide again."

Master Baocheng snorted coldly, took down the useless disciple, and disappeared again.

This time, they didn't linger and headed straight for the outside of the immortal city.

Bibo Fishing Grounds, the courtyard where the manager lives.

When Master Baocheng landed, his foot slammed into the ground, and a thunderous roar spread his magical power in all directions. The entire courtyard of the steward was lifted up on the spot and supported by a diamond-shaped stone pillar.

"There really is something inside..."

A spirit sword flew out from Master Baocheng's sleeve. He did not follow the flying sword style, but the magic sword style. At this moment, he shouted an order, calling upon heaven and earth.

"The True Radiance Returns to the Flow Sword Technique!"

Where the magic sword pointed, the magic array protecting the fish farm shattered, and like peeling away layers of an onion, the stone pillar split apart, with pieces shifting out and moving behind Master Baocheng.

The entire courtyard was also fragmented, neatly divided into sections, each scattering apart.

However, it was empty. The fish farm manager somehow found out and had disappeared.

Master Baocheng frowned and swept his divine sense over the courtyard. He saw a charred, collapsed pit revealed between the divided earth and stones.

"The fire is gradually weakening; the fire on the ground has been extinguished for a while now."

"These traces can't hide from me. There's the scent of plants and trees, the smell of a pill furnace. Someone's been refining pills here..."

"Someone's trying to outsmart me!"

Bao Cheng Zhenren's voice trembled, and he laughed in exasperation.

From the direction of the Immortal City, due to the actions of True Person Baocheng, streaks of Seven True Spiritual Light faintly rose, preparing to arrive.

Although Master Baocheng was angry, upon seeing this scene, he simply raised his hand and used his magic sword to slash, shattering the separated stone pillars into dust and rocks, completely destroying any trace of them.

The next moment, the Seven Immortals arrived. They didn't see any enemies, but they saw Master Baocheng making a move, and many of them had unfriendly expressions.

Master Baocheng smiled, about to speak.

Suddenly, the ground in the Bibo Fishing Ground collapsed again, revealing a tunnel deep underground.

This passage was built by Fairy Shecai of Wanbaoge when Taipingfang Market still existed. It was specifically designed to facilitate her search outside Xiaoxin Island and could isolate Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

However, after Taipingfang Market disappeared, the tunnel collapsed several times and was abandoned.

Who has put him to use now?
