Blood God Sect is located in the westernmost part of Shu Province. The sect is built on the bank of the Blood Sea, on top of a thousand-foot peak. The name of the Immortal Peak is also very straightforward, it is called Blood God Peak.

It is rumored that the founder of the Blood God Sect sat at Blood God Peak, looked at the Blood Sea, understood the secret of Blood God, and the heavenly calamity fell, achieving the realm of Nascent Soul.

For this reason, he founded a sect on the shore of the Blood Sea, and stayed here for the rest of his life to exterminate the Blood Sea monsters.

Of course, this founder of the sect has passed away for more than 7,000 years. During these more than 7,000 years, Blood God Sect no Nascent Soul monk was born.

Seven thousand years have passed, and a fairy city, Blood Sea City, attached to the Blood God Sect has been formed below Blood God Peak.

However, this fairy city is completely a gathering place for monks and is not controlled by Bu Gui Great Qian Immortal Kingdom.

When Immortal Boat changed from a streamer to a still state and hovered over Blood God Peak, Han Yi's brows jumped when he looked down.

Below, it looked like a complete ruin.

Whether it was Blood God Peak or Blood Sea City, they were all devastated and almost completely destroyed.

In the ruins, monsters roam rampant, deepening the destruction.

Looking further ahead, there is less than ten miles away from Blood Sea City, a vast ocean, like a giant dragon crawling on the ground, winding and tracing upwards, with no end in sight.

Blood Sea.

In the Blood Sea, blood was pouring into the sky, rolling endlessly.

What you can see is just the end of the Blood Sea. In the rolling Blood Sea, there are occasionally monsters that crawl out of the Blood Sea. After landing, they quickly rush into the mountains and forests and rush towards the ruined fairy city. Han Yi's eyelids jump again when he sees it.

"Everyone."

"Blood God Sect has been destroyed, the Blood Sea defense line is unguarded, and monsters are raging. We need to wipe them out first, then rebuild the fairy city and establish the Mystic Pill Sect branch."

"This move is of great significance, please do your best."

The monsters have no intelligence and only have the instinct to kill and destroy. As long as they are careful, they can be annihilated.

Fifteen monks were divided into two groups. One group of nine went into the fairy city to exterminate the monsters. The other group of six took hundreds of Qi Refining Late Stage inner disciples to the edge of the Blood Sea and strangled the monsters that came ashore.

As for the two Golden Core Stage, Huo Ming is sitting in the fairy city, and Zhuge Wuyou leads the team to the edge of the Blood Sea.

Immortal Boat suspended above the Immortal Peak, ten monks rose into the air and fell into the Immortal City. Among them, Han Yi was among them.

Then, Immortal Boat transformed into light, and in less than ten breaths, he arrived at the edge of the Blood Sea ten miles away, landed, and asked six Foundation Establishment, with Qi Refining Late Stage disciples, to guard the river bank and kill the monsters that climbed ashore one by one.

Han Yi Sword Control Dao Art fell into the fairy city. After standing on the ground, a blood shadow rushed towards him.

This blood shadow is clearly a Blood Sea monster.

Han Yi looked carefully and observed the monsters up close for the first time. Only then did he realize with horror that these monsters were neither human, nor demon, nor demon, nor beast. They were extremely deformed creatures.

He looked up and looked further away. There were other monsters. He smelled the monk's breath and rushed towards them crazily.

Moreover, each monster is different. Some look like humans, but have seven arms and three heads. Some look like monsters, but their bodies are split open and blood is constantly wading out from the abdomen. Some look like a tree, but there are eyes and heads on the tree, as if they were pieced together.

However, these monsters have one thing in common, that is, they are all covered in blood. They have been soaked in the Blood Sea for too long and have gradually been assimilated by the Blood Sea.

To describe these monsters in three words, they would be "abnormals". This word came to Han Yi's mind.

Monsters are ignorant and only know how to kill and destroy.

Han Yi withdrew his gaze and fell on the monster that was coming towards him.

Its speed is not fast, it is just equivalent to the speed of Qi Refining Layer 7. Han Yi pops up a finger, and a Dao Spirit light flashes across.

Peng.

The aura exploded on the monster, directly destroying its upper body.

However, even if it lost its upper body, the monster's lower body was still squirming after it hit the ground, and its vitality was extremely tenacious.

Han Yi flicked out another finger and blew up the lower half of his body.

Next.

As soon as he had an idea, he smacked his fingers forward, and spiritual flowers condensed by flames appeared in the air.

Spirit Flame Technique.

These seemingly magnificent spiritual flowers fell downwards and landed on the monsters that were slaying around them. These monsters immediately burned all over, and in just a moment, they were burned to ashes.

On the Proficiency Panel in front of you, the progress bar of Spirit Flame Technique jumped from Novice Practice 2/100 to 25/100.

Such rapid improvement is mainly due to Han Yi's current state.

At this moment, he has Foundation Establishment, this Spirit Flame Technique, even without Proficiency Panel, he can understand the extremely deep level in a short time. However, with Proficiency Panel, Han Yi can see more clearly how fast this skill improves, how terrifying it is.

Han Yi felt happy. There were so many monsters here. In terms of improving skill proficiency, it was equivalent to training with opponents, unlike before, which was all training without opponents.

No matter which one, the effect of improving proficiency is the same.

So, after staying near the Blood Sea for the past ten years, I will try my best to improve each of my skills to the next level.

Han Yi quietly made a plan.

Once you get it, make peace with it. Using the Blood Sea environment to improve your proficiency is also a good choice.

call out!

An afterimage emerged, a monster over three meters high, with a flashing figure, rushing towards Han Yi. The spiritual flames scattered and failed to touch it, because the speed of this monster was too fast, already equivalent to the speed of Qi Refining Peak.

A flash of green and black energy penetrated the monster, and then, swish, swish, the sword energy stirred crazily, completely turning it into pieces, and then, the spiritual flames fell, burning its filthy and smelly flesh and blood into ashes.

Green Duckweed Sword flew back and hovered above Han Yi.

Han Yi looked around and saw that all the monsters that had just rushed towards him had been killed by him.

Then, with a flicker of his body, Light Body Art unfolded, and there were fragments of footage. His true body was several hundred meters away, moving and changing as fast as teleporting.

Arriving at the new position, the spiritual flames filled the sky again.

In this situation of facing a group attack, Spirit Flame Technique is more convenient to use than Spirit Void Finger.

Blood Sea Fairy City is not big, similar to Mengshan City that Han Yi has been to before. After all, there are no mortals here, they are all monks. Even those at the lowest level have low-level Qi training.

An hour later, Han Yi returned to the place where they first came. He didn't bring any fireworks with him, but countless monsters died in his hands.

After him, other Foundation Establishment also cleared their respective areas and returned one after another.

Next.

They took their weapons into the air and flew towards Blood God Peak. There were no monsters on the Immortal Peak, but the original atmosphere of the Immortal Family, the Blood God Sect Palace in Qionglou Yuyu, had become dilapidated and collapsed. Obviously, before Blood God Sect the original monks left, everything that could be destroyed had been destroyed, let alone what resources for cultivating immortals could be left behind.

Zhuge Wuyou had obviously anticipated this situation and did not pay attention. Instead, he used a magic weapon to clear out the area closest to the cliff. Then, he took out a palm-sized building model from the Qiankun bag, and lightly tossed it. The model building rose up in the wind, and finally landed directly on the newly cleared area.

"This place should be our temporary garrison."

Zhuge Wuyou said to everyone, and then escaped into the depths of the Blood God Sect, and returned after a while.

There was a rare smile on his face.

"Great."

"As expected, monk Blood God Sect left in a hurry, and monk Golden Core was missing. The fifth-level spiritual vein on Blood God Peak actually survived."

"Having this spiritual vein is not only enough for us to practice, but there are many things we can do in the future."

After Zhuge Wuyou finished speaking, many Foundation Establishment present looked ecstatic, and Han Yi was no exception.

The fifth-level spiritual vein is equivalent to the Mystic Pill Peak spiritual vein, and is the foundation of a sect.

This Punishment Sect, with this spiritual vein, will definitely be able to go further.

Next.

Zhuge Wuyou sat cross-legged in the void and began to arrange a third-level formation. This was Mystic Pill Sect's formation second only to Heavenly Profound Astral Formation. It was named Little Four Saints Formation. It was rumored that it was an imitation of the fifth-level formation, the real Four Saints Formation.

Han Yi and others once again flew down from Blood God Peak with their weapons, and went to the mountain forest behind Blood God Peak to kill the monsters that escaped from the Blood Sea.

Most of the monsters have entered the fairy city, and a few have escaped into the mountains and forests. Although this group is small, they still need to be destroyed.

After entering the mountain forest, Han Yi was extremely vigilant.

Although according to this situation, all Blood God Sect monks have evacuated, there should be no threat in the mountains and forests.

but.

There is no guarantee that there are some monks who are loyal to the sect and are hiding in the mountains and forests, waiting for opportunities to attack and kill Mystic Pill Sect disciples, or even die together.

In the face of possible dangers, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious.

However, what made Han Yi relieved was that after going ten miles into the mountains and forests, he still did not encounter monk Blood God Sect.

An hour later.

Han Yi returned to the edge of the Blood Sea and assisted the other six Foundation Establishment to kill the monsters that kept climbing ashore.

Most of the monsters have Qi Refining cultivation level, a small number of them are in the early stage of foundation building, and very few are in the middle stage of foundation building or above.

Within an hour of his arrival, no mid-stage foundation-building monster appeared.

The strength of such monsters made Han Yi quietly relieved, but the number and strength of monsters made him frown.

It's no wonder that the monks of the Blood God Sect have such terrifying fighting power. They fight with monsters all year round. Those with weak fighting power have long become snacks for monsters, and they can't leave this place alive.

Three days later.

Zhuge Wuyou arranges Little Four Saints Formation.

Seven days later.

Huo Ming returned to the Mystic Pill Sect, and brought a group of mid-level and low-level Qi training disciples from the sect to start rebuilding Blood Sea City and Blood God Peak.

Half a month later.

Xiancheng and Blood God Peak suddenly felt happy.

Their names have also been changed. Fairy City was directly changed to Profound Blood City, and Blood God Peak was changed to Profound Blood Peak.

Profound Blood Peak is under Profound Blood City.

The word "Xuanxue" is taken from the Mystic Pill Sect to guard Blood Sea.

Profound Blood City, Profound Blood Peak, and Mystic Pill Sect Blood Sea Branch built on Profound Blood Peak, are recognized by the world of immortality with a completely new attitude.

Seven months later.

Next to the Blood Sea, Han Yi is sitting cross-legged on a ten-meter-high stone pillar. The cross-sectional area of the stone pillar is not small, more than three square meters wide. On the stone pillar, the word "seven" is engraved. This is the seventh guard pillar. There are ten guard pillars like this in total.

These guard pillars were newly built by the Mystic Pill Sect monks along the edge of the Blood Sea.

At this moment, Han Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the seventh guard pillar, continued to shed spiritual flames, destroying monsters, while absorbing Spirit Stone, restoring his mana, and maintaining a state of mana balance in his body.

In the past seven months, although he has spent most of his time practicing Spirit Flame Technique, he has also continued to absorb spiritual energy and enrich his mana. Today, his spiritual sea has finally been filled with mana.

At this point, his realm has completely stabilized.

The light red Proficiency Panel flashed slightly before appearing in front of you.

[Name: Han Yi]

[Lifespan: 51/248]

[Realm: Early stage of foundation building (21/100)]

[Skill: Great Sun Divine Force (Proficient 48/100)]

[Skills:

Ninefold Soul Pagoda (Peak Perfection 25/100)

Spirit Void Finger (Peak Perfection 49/100)

Sword Control Technique (Peak Perfection 78/100)

Light Body Art (Peak Perfection 59/100)

Fire Shield Technique (Peak Perfection 47/100)

Separation Fire Sword Art (Peak Perfection 8/100)

Alchemy (Peak Mastery 49/100)

Turtle Breath Technique (Peak Mastery 69/100)

Wind Wall Technique (Peak Mastery 45/100)

Spirit Flame Technique (Comprehensive Mastery 18/100)

Breath Concealment Technique (Comprehensive Mastery 29/100)

Aura Observation Technique (Comprehensive Mastery 29/100)

Talisman Making Technique (first glimpse of the door 29/100)

In seven months, there were major breakthroughs in two skills.

A Separation Fire Sword Art, this sword technique, he has been practicing since Han Yi Qi Refining Layer 7. However, among all his previous skills, this sword technique is the most advanced and has the slowest progress. It was only a month ago that he broke through to the [Peak Perfection] level.

A Spirit Flame Technique. This spell is suitable for group attacks and has various changes. It is a spell that Han Yi was looking for after summarizing his own weaknesses after many life-and-death battles.

This Spirit Flame Technique has advanced from Novice Practice to Comprehensive Mastery in just seven months. After reaching Comprehensive Mastery, the speed becomes slow and the time it takes needs to be calculated ten times or even dozens of times.

Apart from these two skills, the only other one is Sword Control Technique, which is relatively advanced and is not too far away from the next level.

Except for skills.

In the past seven months, he has also refined the broken sword named Black Light. However, its grade is too high. Even if it is a broken sword, it is quite difficult to control this broken sword with Han Yi's spiritual consciousness.

However, it is most appropriate to use it as a trump card. Han Yi tried it, and the power shocked him. He was confident that if he faced Mo Wen again and attacked each other, this broken sword would be better than Blood Blade.

As for the realm, Han Yi improved relatively slowly, mainly because it was difficult for him to have time to meditate while guarding Blood Sea. He had to rotate with other foundation-building elders. When he arrived at Profound Blood Peak, he also had time to meditate.

However, thanks to the two upgrades of the root bone, it has also been improved to 21/100, which is a considerable progress.

Generally speaking, half of it is meditation, pushing the realm, and half of it is guarding Blood Sea, killing monsters, and improving proficiency.

Full and firm, Han Yi felt that such regular practice would continue for ten years.

brush!

A figure descended from the sky, and He Fengdi appeared.

"Junior Brother Han, today's rotation, I will be on duty at the seventh guard post."

Han Yi stood up and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Han Yi Sword Control Dao Art was about to fly into the air, but was stopped by He Fengdi.

"Junior Brother Han probably doesn't know the latest decision of the sect."

Han Yi was slightly startled. "Decision?"

He Fengdi nodded. "I guessed that Junior Brother Han didn't know about it."

"The sect has decided to use Profound Blood City as the foundation to build a fairy city on the periphery. I guess it is to absorb Rogue Cultivator or the immortal cultivating family in the form of tasks or rewards, so that the sect's foundation-building elders can break away from guarding Blood Sea and concentrate on cultivation."

"Oh?" Han Yi's heart moved.

"However, the specific details have not been announced yet, and I don't know much about it. Junior Brother Han might as well pay more attention to it. After all, this is related to us and other Foundation Establishment Elders."

Han Yi nodded, said thank you, and then took off into the air. The ten-mile area was covered in less than a minute.

Returning to Profound Blood Peak, he walked into a brand new palace, Profound Blood Hall. The function of this palace was similar to the Mystic Pill Hall on Mystic Pill Peak. It could be regarded as the branch of the Mystic Pill Sect, the highest authority next to the Blood Sea.

Han Yi found Gu Yu, and after some inquiring, Han Yi knew more about the details of Zongmen Jianfang City.

Gu Yu has much stronger connections in the sect than He Fengdi. Even many late-stage Foundation Establishment monks get along well with him, so he naturally knows more.

After understanding it clearly, Han Yi suddenly understood.

There is one thing He Fengdi said was wrong.

The sect established the peripheral fairy city not in the form of a mission, but by dividing Profound Blood Peak's spiritual veins and reducing them to the top-level fourth-level spiritual veins. The separated spiritual veins were transformed into six third-level and twelve second-level spiritual veins.

These eighteen spiritual veins, with Profound Blood City as the center, divided and spread out to establish eighteen smaller fairy cities.

Then, on the condition of spiritual veins, invite the Immortal Cultivation Family, or the powerful Rogue Cultivator, to settle in the Immortal City.

Of course, the forces stationed in the fairy city have obligations while using their spiritual veins. On the one hand, they need to send people to guard Blood Sea and destroy monsters as required. On the other hand, they must pay the fees for renting the fairy city as required.

Simply put.

Mystic Pill Sect did something that is impossible for ordinary sects to do, divided the spiritual veins, lowered the level of the spiritual veins, reduced the fifth-level spiritual veins to the fourth level, then built a fairy city on the differentiated spiritual veins, and then rented it out.

Normal sects would use generations of hard work to try their best to improve the level of their spiritual veins, but Mystic Pill Sect did the opposite. Other sects who learned the news would definitely scold him for his waste of natural resources.

But Taibai Commandery, Nanyang Commandery, Three Sources Commandery, Xinghai Commandery, the four nearest counties and cities, many cultivating families and Rogue Cultivator, are crazy.

Mystic Pill Sect's leased spiritual vein, the lease is signed every fifty years.

In other words, after winning the first lease right, the Xiuxian family can use Second-Order Spirit Vein and even Third Order Spirit Vein as much as they want. Although the rent of Spirit Stone is not a lot, and people need to be sent to guard Blood Sea, compared with the spiritual veins, these are too insignificant.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the most important resource for cultivating immortals is undoubtedly spiritual veins.

After Han Yi learned about this from Gu Yu, his first reaction was that the sect had gone crazy. His second reaction was that there must be an expert in the sect.

Currently, Mystic Pill Sect's power is too scattered. One Mystic Pill Mountain Range is enough for them to allocate manpower to guard Blood Sea. It seems that they have obtained a fifth-level spiritual vein, but it has restrained nearly half of the sect's power.

It's hard to measure between gains and losses.

Why not just cut off this bond and turn it into a steady stream of resources for cultivating immortals, supplying it to the main sect of the Mystic Pill Mountain Range, so that the branch sect can completely become a tool for earning resources for cultivating immortals.

It seems that a spiritual vein is lost, but in fact, it is gained with one stone.

As for the spiritual veins, when the sect's strength develops and a few more Nascent Soul Lords are born, not to mention the fifth level, even the sixth level spiritual veins will be able to compete.

It's really too daring to think and too daring to do.

Han Yi's mind flashed with the figure of Qin Wuxian, and he always felt that these incredible policies all came from this mysterious Supreme Elder.

"After three months, the branch sect here and the main sect Mystic Pill Mountain Range will be able to choose to stay or leave freely. Every three years, there will be five Foundation Establishment monks stationed here, and other monks can come and go freely."

"Junior Brother Han, I know that you have been looking forward to returning to the Mystic Pill Mountain Range for a long time. This time, it will be as you wish."

Gu Yu said with a smile.

In the past seven months, Gu Yu's soul wounds have long been repaired, but there are still hidden wounds left. In this life, at most, he will break through to the middle stage of foundation building, and his path to immortality will be cut off.

Han Yi handed over his hand and thanked him.

To be honest, he prefers Azure Dragon Peak to Profound Blood Peak.
