Years Ago, a Certain Minor Golden Core Cultivator Always Said Vicious Cultivation Methods Didn't Suit His Style
What's there to say, Little B? It's your turn to collect your Performance Assessment.
Lu Ping decisively chose B.
[You chose B.]
You tilted your head back and poured that drop of cyan-gold Fatebound True Blood into your mouth.
[As the true blood entered the abdomen, a muffled sound emanated from within the meridians.]
[Compared to the previous drop of pseudo-true blood, this genuine Fatebound True Blood is several times more potent.]
[In comparison, fake blood achieves at most only two-thirds of the same effect.]
[A large amount of primordial energy surged within the body, only to be gradually ground and absorbed by the Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula and the Azure Origin Dao Canon.]
[Because the accumulated resentment from the Blood Refining was too heavy, it took you five days to completely absorb the essence of the true blood.]
[Your cultivation has taken a small step forward, saving you several years of effort.]
[At the same time, a memory fragment ten times larger than before crashed into your Sea of Consciousness.]
[The Lying-Flat Trait unleashed its power once more, smoothing out the lingering rage of Feng Li.]
[Countless scenes unfold.]
[You pieced together the memory fragments from the two pieces of true blood, and finally pieced together several key pieces of information.]
[First, let's talk about Feng Li's own situation.]
[Having reached the Transformation Perfection stage like Feng Li, the fastest way to further advance and become Heavenly Demon in the Body Integration Realm is to enter the Myriad Demon Hall and obtain a drop of ancestral blood left behind by the High Antiquity progenitor.]
[However, there is currently no war between the human and demon races, Myriad Demon Hall remains closed year-round.]
[Although Feng Li is Hundred Great Demon Marshals, he is not a direct descendant of the Demon Emperor's royal family.]
[Normally, they can't even get close to the Myriad Demon Hall; they can only slowly grind down their bloodline in Windbreath Ravine by relying on their demonic veins.]
[Therefore, whenever the Myriad Demon Hall issues a decree ordering all demons to attack Demon-Severing Cliff, it presents a Great Demon Heavenly Secrets for powerful demons like Feng Li, who are stuck at a bottleneck, to exchange their battle merits for ancestral blood.]
[Having read this far, you understand why these Great Demons fought so fiercely against the seemingly disorganized Demon Race during the third simulation.]
[Besides this secret, another piece of information from Feng Li's memories has also caught your attention.]
[Tens of thousands of miles west of Windbreath Ravine lies the Youshan Clan of the Great Wind Clan.]
[According to information gathered by Feng Li, the evil veins upon the Youshan Clan depends for survival are on the verge of depletion.]
The tribes of the Myriad Demon Domain have always lived by chasing after evil spirits; once the evil spirit veins are severed, the entire tribe will face starvation and despair.
[Windbreath Ravine, being close to the Youshan Clan and possessing high-quality evil energy, has become the target of the Youshan Clan.]
[Feng Li's two-month trip was precisely to contact allies in the surrounding area, in case the enemy resorts to desperate measures.]
[As for whether the other side would send an envoy to negotiate the division of the evil veins, or send their entire clan to attack and seize it by force, Feng Li hadn't yet figured out the plan.]
You open your eyes and touch your chin.
Good heavens, it seems Windbreath Ravine is a powder keg about to ignite?
[After absorbing these two drops of true blood, you introspect and a sudden realization dawns upon you.]
[Although this Great Demon True Blood is a great tonic, even if you still have some, your body won't be able to absorb it any longer in the short term.]
[This is like how you can only digest a maximum of thirty or so Spiritual Qi Pills per day while cultivating with drugs.]
[The physical body and the Primordial Spirit also have a limit to the amount of primordial energy they can bear in the short term.]
[You composed yourself and then took out a three-inch-long cyan-gold feather.]
[This is the very same Heavenly Demon Remnant that bypassed the "Invincible Among Bully at Home of the Same Rank" judgment earlier.]
This thing is truly formidable.
[Even though you had completely subdued Feng Li before, this feather is still able to protect its master on its own.]
[If it weren't for your fully stacked 33x damage increase and 95% damage reduction, you might not have been able to beat this feather.]
[You channeled your Spiritual Power and experimented with the feather.]
[However, it seems that only those with the same bloodline as these Heavenly Demon Remnant can have them implanted into the body or have their inherent Power of Principle activated.]
[Such a fine treasure, it seems you, a pure Human Race cultivator, cannot use it.]
However, you are also Artifact Refiner.
[If all else fails, using this feather as a regular high-level Artifact Refining material would be acceptable.]
[But that would be a waste of resources.]
You shook your head and put the cyan-gold feather away.
[According to the original plan, after refining these two drops of true blood and looting the Great Wind Clan's treasury, you should be packing your bags and leaving now.]
[Your purpose in venturing deep into the Myriad Demon Domain this time is twofold: to hunt the Great Demon True Blood to enhance your cultivation and to search for the Nine-Aperture Star Marrow Fruit.]
[But the information about the Youshan Clan in Feng Li's memories has made you hesitate.]
[This Youshan Clan, is also among the top Hundred Great Demon Marshals, with a foundation no less than that of the Great Wind Clan, and also has Transformation Perfection Great Demon overseeing them.]
[Since the Youshan Clan's malevolent energy is nearly exhausted and they've set their sights on Windbreath Ravine, they'll inevitably come knocking on our door sooner or later.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Know when to quit while you're ahead and get out of here.]
[B: Stay and continue as the chieftain of the Great Wind Clan, and prepare a great gift for the Youshan Clan.]
[C: You printed 320,000 real estate flyers overnight and distributed them Youshan Clan's territory: "Windbreath Ravine school district housing is now open for pre-sale! Adjacent to the High-Tier Gale Sha Vein, the down payment is only 32 drops of your Fatebound True Blood, and the first 100 residents will receive a free Nine-Bend Blood-Transforming Formation full-body SPA. Buying it is a sure win!"]
What?! It'll come knocking sooner or later?!
They're easy prey delivered to our doorstep; there's no reason to turn them away.
Little B, you're still carrying the team this round.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
Isn't the Great Demon True Blood of the Youshan Clan also the Great Demon True Blood?
[Instead of searching the whole mountain, it's better to stay in Windbreath Ravine and wait for the Youshan Clan to walk right into our trap.]
Hey, come here!
[You settled down comfortably in the stone hall and took over Feng Li's identity.]
The daily affairs of the Great Wind Clan were all handled by Feng Li's four trusted confidants.
[You, on the other hand, stayed indoors, focusing intently on perfecting the Nine-Bend Blood-Transforming Formation.]
[The original Nine-Bend Blood-Transforming Formation had a maximum of thirty-six points, which is six times six.]
[This Formation Technique has a limited coverage area; it can only capture one Great Demon at a time.]
[If the two races go to war in the future, and tens of thousands of Demon Race rush in, how can this small Formation Plate be enough?]
[Using the Small Heavens Cloud Restriction True Method as a guide, you begin to deduce and reconstruct this insidious grand formation.]
[Years ago, a minor Golden Core cultivator, after committing murder and robbing treasures, always claimed that his insidious Cultivation Methods were incompatible with his own path.]
[Now, they use such insidious formations without batting an eye.]
Lu Ping: "..."
Ahh!!
Salty Fish, effective.
Lu Ping wasn't even willing to pretend to make peace with the system.
[Reverse Engineering, in effect.]
[The Artisan Spirit is now in effect.]
[Multiskilling, effective.]
