[Blood Array Abode Refining Technique] [Smoke and Cloud Spirit-Confounding Formation] Graduate Entrance Exam
Stepping out of the bedroom, the outside world was still filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
The air was cool, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.
"Pack up, there's something important to do today."
Li Fan had just walked out of the central government building in Tianniu City, holding documents such as company registration and business license in his hand.
That's right, he plans to follow the example of that Heavenly River True Lord and create a company to assist his cultivation.
With a private AI agent and multiple entities managing the company, he doesn't need to expend his own energy on management.
The deity returned to the Tianniu University to continue drawing Blood Qi talismans, preparing to take the exam in three days.
Avatar into a flying magical artifact and traveled to the outskirts of Tianniu City. Even as a Late Qi Refining cultivator, he didn't have many resources to rent or buy forest land.
They could only choose relatively remote, barren valleys in the suburbs as the company's headquarters and the location for setting up the [Blood Array Abode Refining Technique].
[Blood Array Abode Refining Technique] Arranges a blood array to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, which can refine Primordial Qi and spiritual objects into blood-path spiritual materials, construct various spiritual material resource points, and form a blood palace.
He had already rented the land, and he was going to sign several more contracts with the landowner.
If he is able to purchase the property during the contract period, he has the right of first refusal.
After all, if the Blood Qi Dao resource points that we've worked so hard to build are driven away, we'll have to rebuild them all, and we'll have nowhere to turn for help.
Before long, the Avatar descended upon an ordinary V-shaped valley, where the Primordial Qi was neither too abundant nor too scarce.
Of course, compared to the environment within Tianniu City and the concentration of Primordial Qi in various spiritual lands, it is definitely considered ordinary and barren.
After roughly observing the terrain, he, with his considerable mastery of array formations, determined several suitable nodes for constructing the Blood Mansion based on the earth's vein patterns and the flow of Primordial Qi.
Having memorized these locations, he began to use the hills on both sides to scatter seven array flags and set up a mid-grade concealment array.
"[Smoke and Cloud Spirit-Confounding Formation]"
The battle flags were lowered and inserted into seven hilltop nodes.
The Blood Qi is activated, and the seven flags connect the earth's veins along the vertical grooves, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.
A strange cloud of smoke began to gather around, covering an area of about 5 miles in radius.
Once the smoke and clouds completely enveloped the valley, he released his divine energy and spiritual power to probe inside. He was quickly disoriented by the confusing power within and could no longer see what was inside.
That's the power of a magic array; even a mid-grade one can cause considerable trouble for cultivators in the Late Qi Refining.
"Beep beep!"
At this moment, two transport ships sailed in from afar, carrying various array materials he had ordered, as well as thousands of liters of demonic beast blood.
Chen Fan stepped forward to meet them, made a hand seal, released the great formation, and asked them to unload the goods at the designated location.
While the transport company was unloading the goods, he also Primordial Purity and verify them.
"Formation materials: [Stove Core Yin Soil], [Qinggang Refined Fire], [Qinggang Pure Qi Wood], [Qingwen Tongyuan Steel], [Hanze Transforms Dryness Dew]"
"Blood Qi Dao materials, [Blood Tendon Guiding Thread] [Cleansing and Evil-Resolving Blood Jade]..."
"Great, all the materials have been gathered."
The monks escorting the materials on the transport ship only inquired after he had finished counting them.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are there any problems with these items? If there are no problems, please confirm receipt of the order."
Li Fan replied, "Okay, thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."
The spaceship departed, leaving him alone in the entire valley, along with various spiritual materials shimmering with spiritual light, and thousands of liters of demonic beast blood.
Looking at the spiritual materials he had purchased with most of his fortune, he was extremely careful in using and arranging them. Every time he inscribed runes or set up the array positions, he would double-check that there were no problems before daring to build it little by little.
Soon, day after day passed.
While the clone was still setting up the formation little by little, the main body was taking the postgraduate entrance examination at Tianniu University.
He applied for the Blood Qi Blood Qi Talisman major, but there are no masters of talisman making who are proficient in this major.
It can be said that this was tailor-made for him by Tianniu University.
After all, there are very few Qi Refining on Longhorn Beetle Star, or even in the entire Longhorn Beetle Star System, who follow the Blood Qi Dao. His existence is practically groundbreaking at Tianniu University.
Inside the talisman-making examination hall, three professors of talisman-making master level supervised 10 people drawing talismans.
The three of them had little interest in the others; at best, these people could only draw mid-grade magic talismans, and at most, high-grade ones, but it wasn't anything special.
Over the years, they've seen far too many students like this.
Only Li Fan's Blood Qi Talisman held a novel and interesting meaning for them.
Their mental energy expanded to cover the entire examination room, and the three of them focused most of their attention on Li Fan, exchanging words from time to time.
"Li Fan's Blood Qi Talisman is indeed unique. You see, just considering the Blood Qi inscription by Blood Qi Dao cultivator, its stability and Spirituality are much higher."
"That's right, and this Blood Qi is incredibly pure, almost like a panacea. It can be used for various other Daoist techniques and talismans."
"It's a pity that there's too little Blood Qi talisman ink in the Blood Qi Blood Qi Dao; otherwise, Blood Qi talismans could truly become a major school of talismans."
"Not necessarily."
"Professor Zhang, you may not know this, but Li Fan is quite talented in the art of talismans, and even more so in the Blood Qi Dao."
"Perhaps they can even condense their Dao Foundation and become a Great Cultivator, and our Tianniu University Blood Qi Dao might flourish as a result."
"Didn't we specifically establish the Blood Qi Talisman major this time precisely to support him?"
"Yes, that's true. Judging from his words, he wants to develop in the field of scientific research. It might take decades to perfect the Blood Qi Dao cultivation."
As the exam drew to a close, three blood-red talismans, shimmering with spiritual light, were placed on Li Fan's talisman-making table.
Superior grade [Blood Emotion and Mind-Disordering Talisman][Blood-Boiling Body-Bursting Talisman][Blood Yang Aurora Talisman]
This is the result of his work on Blood Qi talismans over the past three years.
Drawing inspiration from other magical talismans and combining it with his own Blood Qi advantages, his Blood Qi talismans are gradually showing a trend of developing their own unique style.
The three top-grade magic talismans were the most dazzling presence in the entire examination hall.
It wasn't just because the Blood Qi Dao had an advantage in talisman making, but also because he had already cultivated [Innate Embryonic Reversion Spirit Extraction and Blood Refining Art 2.0] to the third level, and his intellect had been enhanced once again.
If we were to display it visually, it would be [Clear Heart and Serene Clarity +2].
Although he hasn't reached the level of comprehending the imagery, he already has a firm grasp on various principles. He can comprehend one of the principles of the Blood Qi and Yin and Yang Daoist traditions in half a month; the other Five Elements Daoist traditions can be easily grasped in a month at most.
So much so that he was able to draw high-grade talismans shortly after entering the seventh level of Qi Refining, making him an outstanding genius among talisman makers.
He stopped inscribing the Blood Qi, sealed the Blood Qi talisman into a sealed jade box, greeted the professors who were proctoring the exam, and then left.
Upon returning to his residence, Li Fan had already prepared all the materials needed to create the [Blood Body Division Technique] clone. He then began refining the second Blood Body clone with practiced ease.
Blood Manor Valley, on the outskirts of Tianjin City.
The place was shrouded in smoke and clouds, and any passing cultivator could tell at a glance that it had already been occupied.
On this day, a small blood pond had been built in Blood Manor Valley.
The small blood pool is a regular, standard circle with a radius of 10m.
At the bottom of the blood pool, a pool of foul-smelling monster blood was boiling incessantly. The entire blood pool was shrouded and covered by a peculiar refining array, and strands of pure blood were refined and condensed, floating into the air.
[Blood Lake Essence-Concentrating Life Formation]
Li Fan stood at the edge of the blood pool, checking the operation of the entire magic array.
This magic array is ranked as a high-grade zero-level formation and can be used to refine Blood Qi Dao spiritual objects [Blood Spirit Essence-Nurturing Pearl]. It is an excellent cultivation spiritual object for those who cultivate Blood Qi Dao, or for Human Immortal cultivators and Body Refinement cultivators.
It contains extremely pure spiritual blood, even higher grade than the spiritual blood used to refine clones.
Its color is like glass, crystal clear, and it contains [Spirit Essence Principle]. It can Repair physical injuries and replenish a large amount of lost essence, blood, and qi.
He believed that if he put them on the market, they would be snapped up.
This is the power of the [Blood Array Abode Refining Technique], creating artificial spiritual objects.
The pure spiritual blood on the market isn't even considered spiritual essence; it's more like spiritual material.
With the help of the [Blood Array Abode Refining Technique], one can condense spiritual objects, and the profits are extremely considerable.
After briefly observing the speed at which the magic array was forming, he concluded. "With ample demonic beast essence and blood, one can be refined in a month, and the effect will be quite good."
This is a top-grade spiritual item, you should know.
He then calculated the production cost of the spiritual item. "Judging from the consumption progress, one [Blood Spirit Essence-Nurturing Pearl] requires 500 liters of blood from Late Qi Refining demon beast."
"500 liters is worth 100 Yuan Crystals. A common high-grade spiritual item is worth around 500 yuan. My [Blood Spirit Essence-Nurturing Pearl] is exclusive to me, and its production is rare, so it can sell for even more, probably between 600 and 700 yuan."
"After deducting energy consumption and maintenance costs, the profit is approximately 550-600."
What does this mean?
A 75% profit margin, a sure-fire way to make money.
Even Li Fan couldn't help but be amazed, while also feeling somewhat worried.
"If others discover my profits, it will surely attract countless people who covet them."
Of course, if there's only one magic array, you might earn five or six hundred a month, but that's not actually that much.
It's at most equivalent to the monthly salary of a Late Qi Refining with superior skills.
But if we were to utilize every part of the valley to create a scale effect, that would be terrifying.
Li Fan became increasingly excited as he thought about it, but then he became wary again.
"No, a mid-grade magic array is still too unreliable. We need to add a high-grade defensive and isolation array."
