Lu Changsheng took out a Purple-Gold Eight Trigrams Gourd sealed with Talisman, inside which was a drop of demonic blood.
This is a drop of demonic blood from High Antiquity Demon Marshal, extremely pure, containing fragments of the Demon Marshal's essence.
Lu Changsheng instructed Dugu Aotian to refine the Demon Marshal Blood to enhance his Devil Cultivation Method.
Dugu Aotian used the Ice Lotus Immortal Dew to maintain his true nature and began refining the demonic blood.
The demonic blood merged into Dugu Aotian's body, cleansing his marrow and bones. Dugu Aotian's eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out a painful growl.
The blood of the High Antiquity Demon Marshal contains that High Antiquity Demon Marshal's understanding of the Great Dao, as well as the memories of the Demon Sects Cultivation Method he mastered.
Thirteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, "Ice Lotus Immortal Dew," which exudes a calming chill, could not suppress the influence of the Demon Marshal Blood on Dugu Aotian.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng personally took action, using his Purple Tenuity True Qi to suppress the Sha Qi of the Demon Marshal Blood, preventing Dugu Aotian from Qi Deviation.
With the suppression of the Purple Tenuity True Qi, Dugu Aotian was able to calm down and absorb the primordial fragments from the Demon Marshal Blood.
A single drop of the Demon Marshal Blood was enough to transform Dugu Aotian, a Quasi-Emperor Realm, into a completely different being.
[Ding! You have failed to reward your Disciple Dugu Aotian with "Demon Marshal Blood," but the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward has been lost.]
What happened?
Recently, Lu Changsheng has been trying to bestow some high-grade treasures upon his followers, but has failed repeatedly.
Lu Changsheng was completely numb.
Could it be that even the Demon Marshal Blood has reached its limit?
Lu Changsheng still has three drops of Demon Marshal Blood.
This drop of Demon Marshal Blood is enough for Dugu Aotian digest for a while, so let's give it to him later.
Frustrated, Lu Changsheng took out other treasures and bestowed them upon Dugu Aotian.
[Ding! You have rewarded your Disciple Dugu Aotian Sixteenth-Grade Immortal Pill, "Nine-Yang Sacred Transformation Pill," and received a 100-fold reward for Disciple-Teaching Rebate: a Seventeenth Grade Immortal Pill, "True Yang Wuji Pill."]
Fortunately, the system has a high probability of rewarding you with Medicinal Pills; otherwise, Lu Changsheng would have been really depressed lately.
[Ding! You have rewarded your Disciple Dugu Aotian with the Sixteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures "Primordial Purple Ginseng", and have received a 100-fold reward for Disciple-Teaching Rebate: the Seventeenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures "Primordial Purple Ginseng King".]
[Ding! You have rewarded your Disciple Dugu Aotian with Sixteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the "Seven-Colored Heavenly Python Gallbladder Detoxifying Immortal Pill," and have received a 100-fold reward for Disciple-Teaching Rebate: Seventeenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the "Myriad Illness Detoxification Pill."]
[The Myriad Illness Detoxification Pill: It can cure thousands of rare diseases, and even compensate for congenital defects.]
The system returned several treasures, which Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with; at least the system hadn't malfunctioned.
The Demon Marshal Blood wasn't returned, most likely because the corresponding reward multiplier wasn't triggered.
In such cases, if the item is successfully returned, it might be an extremely rare treasure.

"Changsheng, come to the Rear Mountain."
Lin Xuantong's voice echoed in Lu Changsheng's mind.
Lu Changsheng arrived at the Rear Mountain, where Lin Qinghan was also present.
Lin Qinghan has broken through to the Immortal Emperor, First Stage.
Lin Qinghan was stunningly beautiful and graceful. After becoming the Immortal Emperor, her temperament became even more extraordinary.
Before Lu Changsheng joined the Taihua Sacred Ground, Lin Qinghan was the most talented young disciple in the Taihua Sacred Ground, currently ranked fiftieth on the Qilin Ranking, and her ranking will be even higher in the future.
When Lin Qinghan saw Lu Changsheng arrive, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.
Since Xia Ningxue arrived at Taihua Divine Mountain, Lu Changsheng has spent less time cultivating with Lin Xuantong, as Lu Changsheng also needs to dedicate some time to cultivating the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art and the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship.
Lin Xuantong that this disciple had some secrets, but as long as it could improve his cultivation, he would let Lu Changsheng arrange his own cultivation time.
"Next year marks the 80 millionth birthday of the Yaochi Holy Mother. The Yaochi Holy Land has decided to convene the Yaochi Conference, inviting the Sacred Lords, Saint, and Saintess of all the major Holy Lands to attend."
After his daughter and Disciple arrived, Lin Xuantong announced the reason for summoning them.
Eighty million years old birthday?
This was the first time Lu Changsheng had learned about the age at which the Yaochi Holy Mother had cultivated.
Unlike the long-lived Demon Race, Human Race cultivators generally have shorter lifespans, unless they possess Special Physique like the Evergreen Body, in which case their lifespan can rival that of the Demon Race.
However, Human Race cultivators have the advantage of being able to quickly improve their cultivation level without needing too many heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The Yaochi Holy Mother has lived for eighty million years; her cultivation level is simply terrifying.
"During each Yaochi Conference, the Yaochi Holy Land would bring out various top-grade immortal peaches to entertain guests, while other Holy Lands would also present treasures as congratulatory gifts."
"The Yaochi Holy Mother is a senior figure and also the master of your mother, Han'er. We, the people of Taihua Mountain, cannot be impolite. You two juniors should also prepare a birthday gift to present to the Yaochi Holy Mother. Since you are juniors, a gift of around the Sixteenth Grade is sufficient; the important thing is the sentiment."
"At that time, geniuses from all the Holy Lands will Yaochi Holy Land, and they will inevitably spar with each other. You will have a good opportunity to learn from the geniuses of other Holy Lands and broaden your horizons."
Lin Xuantong briefly recounted the events of the Yaochi Conference.
Lin Xuantong married one of Yaochi Holy Mother's female disciples, so he held Yaochi Holy Mother in high esteem. Lin Xuantong of Taihua Sacred Ground would definitely attend Yaochi Holy Mother's 80 millionth birthday celebration.
The Yaochi Holy Mother knows many Sacred Lords and Grand Supreme Elders of Holy Lands. These people may even be her juniors. Out of respect for the Yaochi Holy Mother, most other Holy Lands will also participate in the Yaochi Holy Mother Yaochi Conference.
This is a grand event in the Immortal Realm.
"Changsheng, at this Yaochi Conference, try your best to secure a place in the top three of the Qilin Ranking and bring some honor to our Taihua Mountain. Otherwise, if your cultivation time exceeds 500,000 years, you won't be able to Qilin Ranking."
Lin Xuantong had high hopes for this disciple.

His Eldest Disciple, the Immortal Emperor Qingyang, only ever ranked sixth on the Qilin Ranking.
Since Lin Xuantong, no one from the Taihua Sacred Ground has been able to enter the top ten of the Qilin Ranking for a long time.
Lin Xuantong was counting on Lu Changsheng to bring honor to the Taihua Sacred Ground.
"Changsheng, how's your cultivation of the Second Sword Realm going?"
"The Second Sword Realm is far too difficult; this disciple hasn't even grasped the basics."
"You've only recently become Immortal Emperor, and expecting you to master the Second Sword Realm is really pushing you too hard."
Lin Xuantong also knew that the Second Sword Realm "One Sword Across the Ages" was extremely difficult, exceeding the scope of Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method, and Great Perfection Immortal Emperor might not be able to comprehend it.
The Second Sword Realm can sever Spacetime, possessing boundless power.
"One Sword Across the Ages" has only five levels of sword realm, each level being a hundred times more difficult than the previous one.
If one fully masters the Second Sword Realm at the Immortal Emperor Second Stage, then it would be enough to kill Great Perfection Immortal Emperor.
Lin Xuantong gave Lu Changsheng some pointers on the Second Sword Realm. After completing his training for the day, Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak.
"The Yaochi Conference..."
Xia Ningxue's expression turned strange when she heard from Lu Changsheng that the Yaochi Holy Land was going to hold the Yaochi Conference.
Her master, the Moon Palace Master, when she was still the Moon Palace Saintess of Yaochi Holy Mother, a candidate of the Holy Son of Yaochi Saintess of Yaochi, Candidate Saint of Yaochi.
The Moon Palace Master even led a group of experts to break into the Yaochi Holy Land, intending to disrupt their wedding.
From then on, the relationship between the Moon Palace and Yaochi became strained, and they had little contact. It was unknown whether Moon Palace would Ginseng in this Yaochi Conference.
"I need to return to the Moon Palace to consult my master."
Xia Ningxue thought for a moment and realized that she could not easily go to the Yaochi Conference without the consent of the Moon Palace Master.
After all, Xia Ningxue is the current Moon Palace Saintess, and her every move is seen by other Holy Lands as representing the will of the Moon Palace.
The two Holy Lands are enemies, and the Yaochi Holy Land is holding the Yaochi Conference. If Xia Ningxue decides to go to the Yaochi Conference on her own, she might anger her master.
"Good."
Lu Changsheng was also aware of the conflict between the Moon Palace and Yaochi, so it was necessary for Xia Ningxue to go back and consult with the Moon Palace Master.
Lu Changsheng was preparing a birthday gift for the Yaochi Holy Mother.
Although Lu Changsheng didn't have much connection with the Yaochi Holy Land, his disciple Dugu Aotian had some relationship with the Yaochi Saintess Liu Yiyi.
Furthermore, Taihua Mountain and Yaochi have a good relationship, and the Yaochi Holy Mother must be given face in any way.
"The Yaochi Holy Mother is a peerless expert who has cultivated for eighty million years. If I can win her favor, it will also benefit me. Let's use Eighteenth Grade Origin Dao Fruit as a birthday gift."

Lu Changsheng was not lacking in Origin Dao Fruits. He took out one Origin Dao Fruit please the Yaochi Holy Mother, which was acceptable to him.
The Yaochi Conference is not only a occasion where guests present gifts, but the Yaochi Holy Land also brings out Peach of Immortality and other treasures to entertain the people who come to offer their birthday wishes.
In this exchange, neither side suffers a loss, and both can build goodwill.
Even in the Immortal Realm, human relationships and social customs are indispensable.
At Kunlun Mountain, in the Purple Void Palace, the position of Sect Master was vacant, and only one of the Five Kunlun Elders was present.
"Our sect Sect Master is in seclusion, and the four elders have gone together to search for treasures in a Forbidden Grounds. I need to stay and oversee Purple Void Palace. Chongxu, although you are a junior, your talent is astonishing. Among all the Grand Supreme Elders, your strength is second only to our Five Elders. You will lead the team to participate in the Yaochi Conference. This is our Purple Void Palace's birthday gift to the Yaochi Holy Mother."
A wooden box fell into the hands of Daoist Chongxu.
The other Elders of the Purple Void Palace all looked at Daoist Chongxu with envy.
Because of his exceptional talent, Daoist Chongxu has become a powerful figure in the Kunlun Holy Land, second only to the Sect Master and the Five Elders, and also holds the power to manage the Qilin Ranking.
Daoist Chongxu was also one of the candidates for the Five Elders.
If any of the Five Kunlun Elders perish, then Daoist Chongxu will take their place.
The current Kunlun Saint, Yan Zhiqiu, is also Personal Disciple of Daoist Chongxu.
However, the Daoist Chongxu, looked worried.
He only wanted to focus on his cultivation, but becoming a powerful Elder in the Kunlun Holy Land meant that all sorts of interpersonal interactions were inevitable.
The Yaochi Holy Mother holds a high position in various Holy Land, and even the Purple Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain has to give Yaochi Holy Mother some respect.
After all, when the Yaochi Holy Mother became famous, the Grand Supreme Elders like Daoist Chongxu were still playing in the mud.
At the Changliu Holy Land, the Sect Master Immortal Changliu, received an invitation from the Yaochi Holy Land and said to White Immortal Emperor Li Changye, "At this Yaochi Conference, you may be able to taste the Yaochi Holy Land's unique top-grade immortal peaches, which will prolong your lives and greatly benefit you. You should accompany your master."
"Yes."
Both White Immortal Emperor and Li Changye nodded in agreement.
"How I miss it."
The Immortal Changliu seemed to be thinking about things from the past.
Li Changye secretly transmitted his voice to White Immortal Emperor: "Senior Brother, does our master have any connection with Yaochi?"
The White Immortal Emperor said meaningfully, "I'll tell you this, but you mustn't let Master know. You should know that Master and Lin Xuantong of Taihua Mountain were rivals when they were young."
"Um."

"Back in the day, when Master was young, he was a peerless Heavenly Prodigy. With his signature 'Frost-and-Wind Sword' technique, he was invincible across all realms, ranking third on the Qilin Ranking, until he encountered Lin Xuantong, who was second... Once, during a duel, the two accidentally entered a Forbidden Grounds and became trapped. Fortunately, a female disciple from Yaochi was nearby, skilled in Formations, and broke the Formation that bound them, allowing them to escape. Later, they learned that this female disciple was Saintess Candidate of Yaochi Holy Land and Personal Disciple of the Yaochi Holy Mother, so they began to pursue her. In the end, Lin Xuantong's skills prevailed, and he won the beauty's heart. From then on, Master frequently went to cause trouble for Lin Xuantong."
As the Chief Grand Disciple of the Immortal Changliu, White Immortal Emperor was well aware of his master's dirty secrets.
"I see."
Li Changye felt relieved.
No wonder Immortal Changliu kept causing trouble for Lin Xuantong, constantly challenging Lin Xuantong to spar, and also having his Eldest Disciple White Immortal Emperor, challenge Immortal Emperor Qingyang, and his youngest disciple, Li Changye, challenge Lu Changsheng. It turns out the two had such a grudge back then.
"So, Master and Lin Xuantong are like oil and water?"
That's not necessarily true.
How so?
"Master isn't so narrow-minded. Perhaps he's already let go of what happened back then. The reason he's still causing trouble for Lin Xuantong might be due to some obsession, or perhaps he's using it as an excuse to constantly spar with Lin Xuantong and hone his skills, ensuring he doesn't fall too far behind. Enemies meeting are always filled with hatred, yet Master frequently seeks out Lin Xuantong for sparring. Have you ever seen an enemy like that?"
"So that's how it is."
Li Changye roughly understood.
Immortal Changliu and Lin Xuantong are more like rivals who encourage each other than enemies. If one of them is in trouble, the other might even come to their rescue.
What are you whispering about?
Immortal Changliu sensed that his two disciples were secretly communicating telepathically.
"Nothing."
White Immortal Emperor and Li Changye quickly slipped away, otherwise, if their master discovered that they were secretly discussing his dark past, they would be put in solitary confinement.
Human Race Holy Land such as the Taichu Sacred Land, the Sumeru Sacred Land, and the Lianshan Holy Land, as well as some Cultivation Aristocratic Clan, all received invitations from the Yaochi Holy Land.
In the High Antiquity Han Clan, inside a huge Dao Palace, an old man with a ruddy complexion, a full head of white hair, and a three-foot-long silver beard received the disciples of Yaochi with great courtesy.
Although the High Antiquity Han Clan is Cultivation Aristocratic Clan that has been passed down from High Antiquity and has a profound foundation, it still cannot be compared with the Holy Land.
To celebrate the 80 millionth birthday of the Yaochi Holy Mother, various Cultivation Aristocratic Clan were invited to participate in the Yaochi Conference, and the High Antiquity Han Clan also received an invitation.
After accepting the invitation, the Han Clan Ancestor his voice to his grand-disciple. "Han Jie, you will accompany me to the Yaochi Conference. If you can get to know a Saintess or Saintess Candidate from Holy Land, then our Han Clan may be able to restore its High Antiquity glory."
"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. I will certainly do my best."
Han Jie returned to the High Antiquity Han Clan to cultivate, and is now Great Luo Golden Immortal. He fantasizes about meeting a few Saintess or Saintess Candidates at the Yaochi Conference. If he succeeds, he will rise to great heights.
Some people died, but they weren't completely dead...
