Glory of the Star Peak Family: Being Cunning for Once

Unbelievable, unbelievable, such a divine artifact exists!

Zhang Xingfeng was indeed a bit dumbfounded. The "Blood Desire Mirroring God Chapter" actually recorded that the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool could not recognize a master. Only by gaining its recognition could you take it into your body. Most importantly, the relationship between the two was equal, not the so-called master-servant relationship of ordinary divine artifacts.

"Young Zhang, this Dragon Spirit Blood Pool is made up of countless drops of blood, so the only proper method of Blood-Drip Recognition for a divine artifact is completely ineffective. It seems you need to find a better way!" Tianyu, as expected of someone with countless millennia of memories, immediately guessed the reason why the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool could not recognize its owner.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly glanced at the blood pool and smiled, saying, "Do I really need this Dragon Spirit Blood Pool? There's a Golden Spirit Sea outside the palace, which even experts at the Great Accomplishment can't enter. I only managed to get in because of my extremely strong body. Hehe, if I don't take the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool, will anyone else in this Mortal Shu get it in the future? I reckon that the Seven Moths Illusion Star God Array won't be something anyone else can break through. Besides, I'm not a Blood Cultivator, so why would I care about it?"

As Zhang Xingfeng spoke, he turned and walked out of the palace.

"Stop right there!" A powerful voice rang in Zhang Xingfeng's mind.

A smug smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face, but it vanished in an instant. He feigned confusion and asked, "Who, who's speaking?"

"I am the Dragon Spirit of the Heart of God from the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool. I know that almost no one will be able to enter this Mortal World again in the future, so I hope you can take me out." Although the Dragon Spirit said "hope," her tone remained unchanged. It was still that harsh tone.

Zhang Xingfeng revealed a wicked smile, "Oh, why should I take you out?" Zhang Xingfeng was taking advantage of the fact that the artifact couldn't move on its own.

Long Ling was stunned. For hundreds of millions of years, every leader of the Blood Cultivator Sect had treated it with utmost respect, and no leader had ever dared to be impolite! Now Zhang Xingfeng was treating it like this and even bargaining with it!

These sect leaders certainly dared not be impolite. If the Dragon Spirit got angry and refused to obey their commands, how could they cultivate the "Blood Desire Mirroring God Chapter"? After all, the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool cannot recognize a master!

Zhang Xingfeng, however, knew that Long Ling couldn't possibly be content to stay in this lonely place forever, and he had an idea in mind.

"Then what do you want! Just say it, and as long as I can provide it, I'll definitely agree!" As a being with the memories of billions of years, the Dragon Spirit easily knew what to offer Zhang Xingfeng.

"I want you to acknowledge me as your master!" Zhang Xingfeng's face gleamed with divine light. Zhang Xingfeng was excited at the thought of controlling the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool. The Dragon Spirit Blood Pool was the pinnacle of top-tier divine artifacts. It could be said that there were almost no artifacts of higher level in the Immortal and Demon Realms. If there were, it would probably only be the Sky-Opening Divine Axe. Back then, the Sky-Opening Divine Axe was tempered again by Pangu, who had reached the realm of a god, with divine power. The Sky-Opening Divine Axe had almost surpassed the level of a divine artifact.

Long Ling immediately roared, "No, absolutely not! There's no room for negotiation!" Her tone was exceptionally firm. For billions of years, she had been free. Even the elders of the Blood Cultivator who had reached the Demon Lord realm dared not do anything to Dragon Spirit Blood Pool. How could Long Ling now acknowledge a cultivator as her master?

"Then forget it, I'm leaving!" Zhang Xingfeng seemed to have anticipated Long Ling's answer and turned to leave.

"Stop... stop!" Long Ling's tone was strange; it started with extreme anger, but then became so weak.

Zhang Xingfeng knew something was up from Long Ling's tone, so he turned around and asked, "Is there something else you need?"

"Could you change your request?" Long Ling's voice sounded very pitiful.

Zhang Xingfeng pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Well, there's another way. Give me half of the spiritual blood in your pool!"

This is outrageous! The essence of a precious spiritual artifact from the Blood Cultivator Sect, which has existed for billions of years, is being offered in half!

"No... no... you bastard, how could you... how could you..." The dragon spirit's voice seemed to roar. Half of it, this spirit blood was its own body! Half of the spirit blood was half of the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool!

"Never mind then! I don't care!" Zhang Xingfeng said, turning to leave.

As Zhang Xingfeng walked, he reached the palace gate. This time, the dragon spirit still hadn't made a sound. Zhang Xingfeng thought to himself, "This dragon spirit is really stingy. It's just a little bit of spirit blood. Humph, it's of no use to me!" Thinking this, Zhang Xingfeng walked even faster.

The Dragon Spirit's wisdom accumulated over billions of years told it that Zhang Xingfeng would slow down or stop as soon as he reached the door. However, in reality, Zhang Xingfeng walked even faster. This was alarming, and the Dragon Spirit panicked!

"Stop! A quarter of my spiritual blood is yours!" Long Ling said with heartache. A quarter of that was something the Blood Cultivator Sect had accumulated over tens of millions of years!

A victor's smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face, but he slowly turned his head, and the smile vanished, "Half, no discussion!" His tone was extremely firm.

Long Ling's voice sounded like a plea, "Just be generous, you can't possibly take half of it! And I can't afford to lose so much all at once."

Zhang Xingfeng scoffed, "What do you mean 'no way'? A billion years ago, you only had a few drops of spiritual blood, and you were still alive and well. Humph, don't waste your breath on me. Give it to me or not. If you don't, we're done!" Zhang Xingfeng acted like a shrewd businessman.

At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng was very pleased with himself. Had there ever been a case in history where he had forced a top-level artifact, the Heart of God, to this point?

"One-third, that's the most I can accept. If you don't accept it, then leave!" The Dragon Spirit finally made its final decision. While one-third of the spirit blood was precious to the Dragon Spirit, freedom was even more valuable! Moreover, after the dragon blood was incorporated, the spirit blood underwent a mutation. Its energy instantly doubled, so even with the loss of one-third, its energy was still four-thirds of its original value!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng knew that this was the biggest concession the Dragon Spirit had made, and he was overjoyed. "Oh my, one-third! One-third of the essence of the Blood Cultivator Sect's treasures accumulated over millions of years! Hehe. Originally, I only wanted one-quarter. Hehe, this Dragon Spirit really loves freedom. It would rather give me one-third of its true form than acknowledge me as its master!"

"Kid, hurry up and prepare the materials. If one-third of the spirit blood is gathered together, it might form another dragon spirit. Quickly find containers and divide them into a hundred portions!" Tianyu urged immediately.

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback. But then he realized that the Earth Dragon Spirit Blood Pool was already a top-tier divine artifact, and its energy had greatly increased after fusing with dragon blood. This third of it was estimated that it would also become a top-tier divine artifact!

"Start crafting the container immediately!" Zhang Xingfeng thought of it and did it right away.

With a thought, Zhang Xingfeng's Qi Cauldron, which had become one with him, immediately flew out.

"Ah, a purple Qi Cauldron! It's a purple Qi Cauldron!" Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed in shock. A purple Qi Cauldron, reaching the purple level! It could refine Top-grade Immortal Artifact —a purple-level Qi Cauldron!

"Hmm... Not bad, Zhang boy. Purple Qi Cauldron. Even Pangu only reached this level after his Seven-Colored Body was close to Great Accomplishment. It seems that your Innate Fire Spirit and the Purple Skyfire within you are indeed very powerful. But you should know that it becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate as you progress."

"It took you five years to go from red to orange, and fifteen years to go from orange to yellow. Going from yellow to green was a hurdle, and it took you thirty years. Going from yellow to cyan took you thirty years. Logically, it should have taken you at least eighty years to go from cyan to blue. But because of the Heavenly Fire Earth Refinement, it only took you ten years. Now that the Heavenly Fire has evolved, it has allowed you to reach the purple level in less than ten years. My god, you really are lucky!"

"However, black can be used to forge divine artifacts, but the transition from purple to black is a hurdle. It's unlikely you'll be able to do it in less than several hundred years, unless your Heavenly Fire is fully Great Accomplishment. But Great Accomplishment Heavenly Fire Great Accomplishment no easy feat; it will take you at least several hundred years, unless you encounter some extraordinary event! Of course, once your Heavenly Fire Great Accomplishment, you can start cultivating the Blazing Heavenly Fire. You should know that even Nine Heavens Profound Immortal dare not easily resist the Blazing Heavenly Fire. With the Blazing Heavenly Fire, your strength will be at least that of Nine Heavens Profound Immortal!"

Zhang Xingfeng also knew that things would get harder and harder as time went on. Opportunities to use heavenly fire like the Heavenly Tribulation would not come again. He would have to cultivate slowly from now on, and that would probably take far longer than what Tianyu had said. There were many people in the Immortal Realm who cultivated for millions of years!

Zhang Xingfeng stopped talking and focused on honing his weapon skills. &&**@!(())

Zhang Xingfeng's hands flashed with light as he performed fifteen hand seals, fully activating the Qi Cauldron. A beam of light flashed across the sky, and one hundred Jianyu Stone immediately flew into it. Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng's expression changed, and with a slight movement of his hands, he actually took out one hundred Demon Crystal from the Azure Bracelet.

Heavenly Fire.

Zhang Xingfeng's purple Heavenly Flame immediately enveloped the Qi Cauldron completely. At the same time, Zhang Xingfeng used three hand seals to seal the cauldron. The Purple Skyfire immediately melted the Demon Crystal and the Jianyu Stone. The Demon Crystal was a crystal of Demonic Yuan Power. As soon as it melted, it turned into a liquid and fused with the Jianyu Stone. According to Zhang Xingfeng's will, the Jianyu Stone and the Demon Crystal were paired one by one and divided into a hundred portions in the Qi Cauldron.

A tremor ran through Zhang Xingfeng's body as the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable shone. The sphere resembling the golden core of the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable shone brightly, and the Qi Cauldron suddenly shone brightly. Zhang Xingfeng didn't know what had happened, but Zhang Xingfeng continued the refining process.

Seventy-two hand seals were instantly unleashed.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Xingfeng, who had been floating in the air with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"Collect!" With a low shout from Zhang Xingfeng hands emitted a brilliant golden light, making them difficult to see for a moment. Immediately, a series of hand seals flew into the Qi Cauldron.

Zhang Xingfeng held the Qi Cauldron in his hand. The Qi Cauldron could be large or small, and now it looked like a teapot. With a thought, Zhang Xingfeng immediately sent out a series of black jade bottle-shaped containers.

"It's a top-tier immortal artifact!" Zhang Xingfeng was shocked. One hundred pieces, all transformed into Top-grade Immortal Artifact in one go! Qi Cauldron reaching the purple level was truly terrifying! Zhang Xingfeng didn't know that there was a special reason for this; a purple-level Qi Cauldron could only produce four or five Top-grade Immortal Artifacts at most. It wasn't until the next time he refined immortal artifacts that Zhang Xingfeng realized his judgment was wrong.

Why was it so effective this time? Zhang Xingfeng didn't know the answer until he met his second master.

"Dragon Spirit, hurry up and send the spirit blood over!" Zhang Xingfeng said to Dragon Spirit with a smile.

Long Ling remained silent. The Dragon Spirit Blood Pool began to gush out like a spring. The huge spring of spiritual blood was as thick as a man's waist and flowed directly toward Zhang Xingfeng. Zhang Xingfeng immediately controlled a black jade bottle to catch it. No matter how much spiritual blood there was, the jade bottle could hold it all.

"My God, so much!" Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed excitedly. Seeing the blood as thick as a person's waist constantly flying into the bottle, he knew that the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool contained far more blood than he had seen before. "Could the blood be so abundant that it could form an ocean?" Zhang Xingfeng was clearly thinking of the ocean world he had entered when he used the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool for cultivation.

"This is one three-hundredth!" Long Ling's voice sounded a little low, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately switched to a black jade bottle and continued.

After a long time, the spiritual blood was completely absorbed. How much exactly one-third of the amount was remained a huge question in Zhang Xingfeng's mind. However, Zhang Xingfeng was certain that the contents of his hundred bottles combined could form a small lake about two meters in diameter.

To Zhang Xingfeng's relief, after being divided into one hundred portions, the Spirit Blood did not form a Divine Heart, which put Zhang Xingfeng at ease.

"Dragon Spirit, come with me!" Zhang Xingfeng stretched out his hand, Chaos Power surged out. The Dragon Spirit Blood Pool immediately flew into Zhang Xingfeng's body and merged into his body.

"Zhang boy, you're really too cunning!" Tianyu seemed very excited. Of course he was excited. Who wouldn't be excited to get so much spiritual blood? Besides, Zhang Xingfeng was his master. Although he kept calling him "Zhang boy," a master is still a master.

"Little Bloodsucking Demon!" Long Ling's voice rang in Zhang Xingfeng's mind. Zhang Xingfeng was stunned. Who was the little bloodsucking demon? But in an instant, Zhang Xingfeng knew and couldn't help but chuckle. Long Ling had indeed had a lot of blood sucked this time.

"Is there something you need?" Zhang Xingfeng did not object to Long Ling addressing him that way, which surprised Long Ling for a moment, but she quickly recovered and continued, "My Divine Sense has known about you for a long time. Let me tell you, of the four Demon Emperors' palaces, you only have the chance to enter two."

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

"After you leave, you will encounter the Wood Spirit Forest. After passing through the Wood Spirit Forest, you will encounter two palaces, the palaces of the Pishuan Demon Emperor and the Sun-Shooting Demon Emperor. However, you cannot go any further than these two, because the final barrier is the Yellow Heaven Thick Earth. Without the strength of Great Luo Golden Immortal, you simply cannot pass through it!"

"Yellow Heaven Thick Earth?"
