Sacrificially Refining the Blood Star, the Inner Space, Other Blood Qi Dao Factions, and Setting a Path for Development
The entire refining process was extremely mentally taxing, but fortunately he had prepared elixirs to replenish his mental energy beforehand; otherwise, he would have had a hard time completing just the first step.
Three days later, the originally dark [Falling Star Heavy Core] was completely unrecognizable.
Instead, it is a peculiar object with a blood-black base and densely covered with seven colors inside and out.
"[Clear Sky Jade Marrow], come!"
Blood Qi swept through, and [Clear Sky Jade Marrow] was thrown into the blood lake below.
The [Blood Star True Secret Sacrificial Refining Array] continued to operate, and all the demon beast blood was swept into its interior, along with the [Clear Sky Jade Marrow] which began to gradually melt, becoming a pool of light red transparent liquid.
Immediately following, the seven-colored star core and the pale red, transparent blood marrow began to rapidly fuse under the impetus of the magnificent power of heaven and earth.
Within half a day, they were inseparable.
To become a true blood star core.
At this moment, the [Blood Star True Secret Sacrificial Refining Array] reached its peak, and the magnificent power of heaven and earth swept away the cover of the [Smoke and Cloud Spirit-Confounding Formation], preventing the smoke and clouds within a hundred meters of the Blood Lake and Blood Mansion from getting close.
Li Fan channeled the power of heaven and earth gathered by the array and bombarded the core of the blood star.
He skillfully channeled the terrifying power, stimulating only the stable spatial forces within.
At this moment, Li Fan jumped off the specially made training platform and fell straight into the center of the blood lake.
The spatial power within the blood star's core fluctuated, causing the surrounding spatial power to resonate, and it was about to vanish from the real world.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he began to explore the blood patterns and formations within the core of the Blood Star, using his dantian as a coordinate to guide his entry.
The blood star core was ethereal and had no real substance; it was instantly drawn into the inner world.
The power of heaven and earth was poured into the refining array, and the power of space was guided out. Following a certain law, they quickly opened up a physical space, released the power of space, and completely stabilized.
At this moment, the power of heaven and earth from the [Blood Star True Secret Sacrificial Refining Array] could no longer enter his body, and Li Fan's blood Blood Qi began to boil, providing the power to open up the inner space.
1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters.
After an unknown amount of time, the interior space expanded to a diameter of 108 meters, presenting itself as a regular sphere.
The fist-sized blood-red star became the only physical entity in this space.
The outermost space gradually stabilizes and enters a state of slow expansion.
Strands of Space Transformation Primordial Qi penetrated the spatial barrier and entered the Blood Star Space.
Blood Star unceremoniously devoured the Space Transformation Primordial Qi, refining it into a unique Primordial Qi of Spatial Space and Blood Qi.
"Let's call it [Blood Space Primordial Qi]!"
Li Fan's spiritual power entered the inner space, allowing him to perceive a vast amount of internal information.
"This should now be considered the entry level of the [Blood Star True Mystery Profound Attainment Method], the Blood Star Core stage!"
The core stage is 100 meters in size, and special primordial energy is generated.
Next, he will begin to move substances inward to create an extraordinary environment for the Blood Qi Dao.
At the bottom of the dried-up blood lake, Li Fan stood up, brushed off the filth from his body, and felt completely refreshed.
Streams of Blood Qi surged from his body. The Blood Qi true power cultivated by the [Blood Qi True Body Technique] began to have a faint spatial characteristic in addition to the original three characteristics of Yin and Yang and pure qi.
With a thought, the originally thick 3-inch-thick radiance was immediately compressed into a more solid state, its hardness further enhanced, and the conspicuous radiance directly turned into nothingness, hiding all around.
This pleased him greatly.
"That's right. If anyone thinks I'm not on guard and tries to ambush me from behind, they'd better call in someone."
He then walked out of the Blood Manor Valley and returned to the edge of the Blood Pond where the [Blood Lake Essence-Concentrating Life Formation] was set up.
At this moment, the blood pool had expanded to a radius of 50 meters, and at the same time, more than 20 Blood Qi spiritual objects and hundreds of Blood Qi spiritual essences condensed.
Let's start moving things from here.
He first sent large swaths of the monster blood and blood mud from the blood pond into the inner space.
Covered by Blood Qi, the internal spatial power serves as a transportation channel, relying on the star core of the blood star to re-establish the blood pond resource point.
Immediately afterwards, he headed to the sky above a patch of Blood Qi Dao spiritual plants.
This place produces spiritual objects that can Blood Qi as [Blood Spirit Wondrous Splendor Qi] and spiritual essence [Blood-Tempering Primordial Wind].
Li Fan directly used his Blood Qi, along with the spiritual plants, blood soil, and magic array, to send the entire Blood Forest into the Blood Star Space.
As for the other resource points, there wasn't enough room; the Blood Pond and Blood Forest already made the Blood Star Space extremely full.
The internal formation restarted, which also accelerated the expansion of the space.
It is growing rapidly at a rate of 1 meter per day.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Let Blood Star expand for a while, and then we'll move all the resource points in the valley."
Now that there's a better location, he can't be left in this valley; after all, he'll be discovered sooner or later.
Half a month later, the online exchange meeting of cultivators of the Altair Blood Qi Dao started on time.
Li Fan's impression was that it was mostly online meetings and online classes held by teachers.
There are a total of 7 cultivators attending this meeting; your number is indeed pitifully small.
Of course, based on his guess, this exchange meeting would only invite powerful individuals, Blood Qi Dao cultivators below the Mid Qi Refining would basically be excluded.
The meeting was chaired by an old man with blood-red hair and a beard. In his current view, this was basically a sign that the cultivation method had gone wrong and that Blood Qi had invaded the body.
"Looks like these guys are really down on their luck."
Once everyone was present, the blood-haired old man introduced himself.
"Gentlemen, this is another newcomer to our group. You've probably already heard of Fellow Daoist Li; he's quite famous in the magic talisman market."
"Old man, let me introduce some of the members of our exchange group to Fellow Daoist Li."
"I am the president of this exchange meeting. Fellow Daoist Li, you may call me Blood Spirit."
The Elder Blood Spirit then introduced the others, "Blood Qi Dao Beast Taming Faction the Blood Slave Dao Beast Taming Sect, Blood Artifact Faction Blood Refining of the Blood Earth Faction Weapon Sect, Blood Mountain Daoist of the Blood Earth Sect, Blood Pill Faction Blood Embryo Sect, and Blood Method Faction Daoist of the Blood Method Sect."
"The people here are all leaders of various branches under the Blood Qi Dao. Fellow Daoist's Blood Qi Talisman can also be considered a leader of the Blood Float Faction."
Li Fan gradually understood why there were only 7 people left.
"It was supposed to be an exchange meeting, but it turned out to be a meeting of leaders."
"Today, our topics include exchanging ideas on Blood Qi Dao cultivation and discussing how to divide the newly discovered monster planet."
This piqued his interest. "There's even a newly discovered monster planet? I've never heard of such a thing before."
According to his understanding, the Demonic Beast Star Domain is tens of light-years away from here. It would take a considerable amount of time for Qi Refining cultivators to travel on First Tier interstellar spaceship. They usually only operate within their own planetary system or a few nearby planetary systems.
"This newly discovered monster planet is located in the Thousand Silk Asteroid Belt on the edge of the Longhorn Beetle Star System..."
It turns out that the so-called monster planet was actually a collection of strange life forms that were transformed by Chaos Qi and quickly evolved into physical monsters.
They also possessed a certain level of intelligence, spontaneously pulling nearby meteorites together to form asteroids, creating a more comfortable and suitable planetary environment for reproduction, and gradually evolving a primitive social model.
While listening to them discuss how to divide the profits, Li Fan also learned about the specific situation of these cultivator factions.
Thanks to the continuous nourishment from the Chaos Qi that has been drifting throughout the entire Human Federation star system over the years, a large number of tiny life forms living in space have been nourished, awakened their intelligence, and evolved into unique monster planets.
The practice of hunting demons spread from the exclusive Demonic Beast Star Domain to all planetary systems of the entire Human Federation.
Of course, that's an overstatement. The governor's army stationed in this star system dispatches warships to search and clean up the entire area every cycle, so there are no First Tier Dao Foundation demonic beasts left.
There are usually quite a few left over, which is how many Qi Refining cultivators obtain resources.
Driven by their thirst for the spiritual blood of demonic beasts, some members of the Blood Qi Dao directly established themselves in the Demonic Beast Star Domain, while others relocated to the Thousand Silk Asteroid Belt to build faction headquarters and operate there long-term.
Li Fan listened, and then lost interest.
Aside from a few different perspectives on the Blood Qi Dao that caught his eye, nothing else really stood out.
His cultivation level is not as high as his, Blood Qi Dao cultivation is not up to par. Most of his efforts are just blindly improving his cultivation and accumulating resources, vainly hoping to break through to the Dao Foundation. No wonder he can't develop.
Finally, seeing that he showed little interest, the Elder Blood Spirit wanted to ask if he wanted to participate, but considering that he had no foundation in the meteorite belt and that the other families would not agree to his participation, he did not ask any further questions.
After the exchange meeting, Li Fan finally understood the difference between these independent factions and the official federal universities.
"These guys seem to have kept a couple of unique techniques to themselves, but that's about it. They can only have a chance to break through by accumulating and perfecting their techniques and theories over generations."
Now that he has the Blood Star, he's lost interest in these ordinary Blood Qi Dao.
As long as he focuses on farming, even if he can't break through in 8 or 10 years, the Blood Star will help him break through once he reaches the First Tier.
He increasingly felt that his previous decision to use the Innate Dao Deduction method for deduction was correct.
"Farming and developing the land is the only way forward; all this fighting and killing is so low-class!"
A few days later, he received another notification that his doctoral application had been approved and that he was to go and register for the program.
