Chapter 34: The Blood of a Core Formation Cultivator
Chapter 34: The Blood of a Core Formation Cultivator
Dong Xian approached Qi Yuan with a respectful demeanor, "Greetings, Senior Brother Qi Yuan!"
Qi Yuan glanced at Dong Xian and took a half-step back, "Is it you?"
The closer Dong Xian, a seemingly protagonist-like character, stayed away, the better.
In the TV shows and anime Qi Yuan watched, whenever a side character suddenly treated the protagonist well, they would inevitably meet a tragic end, serving as a catalyst for the protagonist's growth.
"Old man Fei," Qi Yuan muttered to himself, not wanting to be the one to suffer.
"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, I have an unwelcome request, and I'm not sure if I should bring it up," Dong Xian said.
Qi Yuan quickly responded, "You shouldn't mention it."
He effectively shut down whatever Dong Xian was about to say.
At that moment, Qi Yuan also took a good look at Dong Xian.
【He was an ordinary young man, and the remnant soul within him had awakened. He was an Artisan, and this Artisan had taken a liking to his kitchen knife.】
Noticing that Dong Xian remained unresponsive, Qi Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, there's a strange fire in the back kitchen of the Sacred Herb Peak that I think would suit you well."
After saying this, Qi Yuan left without further ado.
As he walked away, he concealed the aura of his knife.
The remnant soul from earlier had taken an interest in his knife, and it made him wary.
Meanwhile, Dong Xian stood in place, looking bewildered.
"Strange fire? What is it?"
Just then, the voice of the Artisan Elder rang out.
"This Qi Yuan, you need to be careful. He's not as simple as he seems."
"Huh?"
"When I got close to him, I sensed that his kitchen knife had been stained with blood."
"Blood? Isn't that normal?"
"It's the blood of a Core Formation cultivator," the Artisan Elder explained.
Dong Xian was stunned.
A Core Formation cultivator's blood?
That ordinary-looking kitchen knife... had been stained with the blood of a Core Formation cultivator?
Could it be that the Peak Master of the Seven-Colored Peak had given it to Qi Yuan?
No wonder the Artisan Elder had said that the knife was extraordinary.
The Artisan Elder continued, "This Qi Yuan, he can be a friend but never an enemy."
He had only said half of what he wanted to say, for the blood was fresh, indicating it had been spilled recently.
Dong Xian couldn't help but laugh, "Why would I want to be enemies with the Chief Disciple of a peak?"
...
On the Seven-Colored Peak, Jiang Ling Su looked perplexed.
"Senior Brother, are you leaving the sect?" she asked.
Qi Yuan nodded, "I've already discussed it with the Sect Master, and he agreed. I'm going out to establish my Foundation."
"Establish your Foundation?" Jiang Ling Su was confused, "Why do you need to leave the sect for that?"
Couldn't he establish his Foundation right here on the Seven-Colored Peak?
"Reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles," Qi Yuan replied.
Jiang Ling Su was taken aback, "Senior Brother, sometimes you make sense.
But... I don't think you're leaving just to establish your Foundation."
Qi Yuan sighed, "Ah, you're right, Junior Sister. I'm running for my life, fighting for a chance at immortality."
Qi Yuan felt a connection with the tragic figure of Nangong Xian.
Jiang Ling Su was speechless, "Senior Brother, please speak coherently."
Seeing her reaction, Qi Yuan explained, "I'm afraid the Black Mountain Sect will suspect me of killing Chu Tian Xiong and the others, right? What if the Black Chicken Old Demon brings his people to besiege the peak? I'd be trapped here with no way out. It's better to lay low outside and return when things cool down."
Jiang Ling Su said, "...Senior Brother, you should leave quickly. I'm afraid my brain will melt if I stay with you any longer."
Jiang Ling Su's expression was one of disdain.
However, she remembered something and reminded him, "Senior Brother, be careful when you're alone out there.
The people from the Black Mountain Sect might be desperate enough to cause you trouble."
"Great minds think alike. I agree that the Black Mountain Sect has grand ambitions," Qi Yuan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ling Su sighed, "...Senior Brother, I wish you were mute. You'd be a once-in-a-century handsome man."
Every time he opened his mouth... it was embarrassing.
Of course, this wasn't about the sound of his voice but the absurdity of his words.
...
"There are still two empty seats in the First-Class Cabin. Hurry and grab one for just one spirit stone!" the female cultivator at the Spirit Boat's reception desk called out to the passengers.
This Spirit Boat was headed towards the Bloodless City.
Bloodless City was located in the northernmost part of the Great Shang Kingdom and was known for its chaotic atmosphere.
After all, Bloodless City was close to the territory governed by the Black Mountain Sect.
Typically, not many righteous cultivators would venture there.
However, outside Bloodless City, there was a mine for blood crystals.
These blood crystals were quite valuable and could aid some cultivators in their cultivation.
Therefore, many solitary cultivators and even those from major sects would go to Bloodless City to collect blood crystals and enhance their strength.
At this moment, Qi Yuan was sitting on the Spirit Boat.
This Spirit Boat was a Foundation Establishment Magical Tool.
Unlike ordinary Foundation Establishment Magical Tools, all its enhancements were focused on speed.
Upon hearing the receptionist's words, Qi Yuan's interest was piqued.
Having recently come into some wealth, he wanted to experience the First-Class Cabin.
"But then he remembered that he was on an important mission and needed to maintain a low profile, so he suppressed such thoughts.
Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman approached Qi Yuan and struck up a conversation, "Are you also heading to the Bloodless City to mine for blood crystals? With your extraordinary aura, you must be a senior disciple of a major sect."
The woman was dressed elegantly, her hair styled in a fallen-horse bun with a peachwood hairpin. She wore a light blue robe, exuding simplicity and elegance, and her demeanor was unparalleled.
Despite her simple attire, it was evident that she came from a wealthy background.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but marvel at how, even with his face altered by disguise techniques and concealment spells, reducing his good looks by ninety percent, people could still discern his inherent handsomeness.
"I'm just a wandering cultivator," Qi Yuan replied, assuming the role of a wandering cultivator.
"Wandering cultivators are not bad either. They have a strong work ethic," the beautiful woman sighed. "When I was young, I was also a wandering cultivator. Now that I'm older, I've joined a sect and prefer a more stable life."
"But you're still in the prime of your youth, aren't you?" Qi Yuan asked.
As the saying goes, youth is unaware of the allure of a mature woman, mistaking a loli for a treasure.
A stunningly beautiful and wealthy woman like the one before him would undoubtedly have many admirers.
Qi Yuan possessed a powerful skill called "Tyrannical Power," but he hadn't awakened the attributes of a boss yet.
"You're quite the charmer, my friend," the beautiful woman said, her smile as radiant as blooming flowers. "How can we compare to you young folks with your strength and vitality?"
She gazed at Qi Yuan's tall and robust figure, seemingly reminiscing about the past.
"Be cautious of the Black Mountain Sect when you go to mine for blood crystals in the Bloodless City. Offending the city lord is better than angering the Black Mountain Sect. If you offend the city lord, it might only cost your life, but if you anger the Black Mountain Sect, they might wipe out your entire family." As she mentioned the Black Mountain Sect, a fleeting trace of fear and disgust flashed in the woman's eyes.
Qi Yuan's voice lowered with a hint of agitation, "The Black Mountain Sect is so evil that they would kill entire families?"
If the Black Mountain Sect found out that he had killed Chu Tian Xiong, would they go to Blue Star and slaughter his entire family?
That was unacceptable!
He was the only one registered in his household.
How pitiful!
When people cursed him online, he couldn't even retaliate.
"The Black Mountain Sect is powerful and domineering. Not only do they demand a ten percent share of the blood crystals mined in the Bloodless City, but they also require a twenty percent tribute. And it's not just twenty percent..." The beautiful woman clenched her teeth as she spoke, her expression filled with resentment.
Qi Yuan's anger surged, "The Bloodless City isn't under the control of the Black Mountain Sect! They're more heartless than capitalists; they deserve to be hanged!"
Noticing his outburst, the beautiful woman lowered her voice and said, "Please keep your voice down, my friend. Don't let anyone from the Black Mountain Sect hear you, or you'll be in big trouble."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan thought to himself, "I'm not being selfish!
I'm not seeking revenge for myself!
I'm acting on behalf of the heavens!"
He justified his actions, feeling morally superior and able to look down on the Black Mountain Sect.
Qi Yuan and the beautiful woman chatted happily during their journey on the spirit boat.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Qi Yuan's emotional intelligence but was likely related to his good looks, youth, or both.
After about five hours, the spirit boat landed, and numerous cultivators disembarked.
The beautiful woman politely extended an invitation, "If you don't have a place to stay, why not spend the night at my home?"
Qi Yuan glanced at the sky and politely declined, "No, thank you."
He needed to hurry; he couldn't afford to miss the last spirit boat.
He wouldn't stay the night here.
After committing murder, he had to flee quickly. Experienced killers knew that returning to the crime scene could lead to capture.
Just then, a slightly displeased voice interrupted, "Mother, I'm here."
A woman in an elegant gown approached, accompanied by a Foundation Establishment female cultivator. She looked at Qi Yuan with a hint of hostility in her eyes.
Qi Yuan was baffled by her reaction.
"Farewell, my friend," Qi Yuan bid farewell to the beautiful woman and turned to leave.
The woman in the gown walked up and held the beautiful woman's arm, "Mother, who is that person?"
The beautiful woman smiled, "Xiao Rou, you're always so cautious. He's just a wandering cultivator I met by chance, coming to mine blood crystals in the Bloodless City. I found his aura quite impressive, so we chatted. You're not getting any younger, my dear. It's time to find a Dao partner."
The tension in the woman's eyes eased, and she sighed, "I have no time for such things with the entire blood crystal mine to manage. And mother, I may not be some heaven-defying genius, but I won't just settle for any random wandering cultivator I meet on the road. Sigh, after I drop you off, I still need to go to the Black Mountain Sect with the other mine owners. We've already made an appointment to leave in an hour."
As she mentioned the Black Mountain Sect, an unshakable cloud of worry appeared in her eyes.
Happy Qixi Festival!
