Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

In the eyes of the Blood Spirit Saintess, the strongest trump card Li Ji’an currently exhibits is his Tier Three Body Cultivation.

As for his Core Formation Early Period level as a Dharma Cultivator, it poses no threat to Lin Xiuzhu’s Core Formation Cycle cultivation.

After all, the Sect’s Holy Skill of the Corpse Puppet Sect is of celestial quality, comparable only to the Sect’s Foundation Technique of the Ten Thousand Laws Palace in the entire Celestial Cyan Domain.

Moreover, Lin Xiuzhu possesses excellent talent and has the assistance of a Golden Body Corpse Puppet, which is comparable to a Core Formation Middle Stage. If Li Ji’an relies solely on Tier Three Body Cultivation, apart from the chance of a surprise attack, he has almost no chance of winning.

Especially since Lin Xiuzhu must have many life-saving trump cards, a surprise attack from Tier Three Body Cultivation may not necessarily be successful.

Li Ji’an had not followed Lin Xiuzhu for long when Lin Xiuzhu suddenly turned around.

"What exactly happened inside the Blood Cave? Did you see the True Dragon Essence Blood?" He asked, his face shadowy, enveloping Li Ji’an with the oppressive force of his Core Formation Middle Stage aura.

Before Li Ji’an could respond, Ning Sujin had quietly arrived behind Lin Xiuzhu, with the Invisibility Puppet poised to strike.

As long as Li Ji’an nodded, Lin Xiuzhu would have almost no chance of survival.

However, Li Ji’an still transmitted a message to stop Ning Sujin.

After all, he had yet to obtain Lin Xiuzhu’s secrets, and if he killed him now, even absorbing his essence blood and divine soul, it would not be possible to read the fragments of his memories in a short time.

"Just now, Blood Kite Fairy indeed obtained the True Dragon Essence Blood," Li Ji’an hurriedly said, utterly terrified.

A fierce light flashed in Lin Xiuzhu’s eyes, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It matched his judgment.

"How did she open the Blood Cave?" Lin Xiuzhu slightly softened his demeanor.

Li Ji’an replied truthfully, "The Fairy instructed me to infuse it with essence blood..."

Having gotten his answer, Lin Xiuzhu lost patience in listening further; as long as he confirmed that the other party had obtained the True Dragon Essence Blood, that was enough. Once he acquired the Dragon Soul, the True Dragon Essence Blood would certainly be in his possession.

"Let’s go!" He immediately ordered Li Ji’an to follow without room for objection.

Following this, his speed increased continuously, and each labyrinth-like passage seemed to have an answer ready in his eyes.

Two days later, he returned to the place where he had previously encountered the Tier Three Ghost King.

This time, without the entanglement of the Yin Ghost Saint Child, he pressed forward without hesitation.

Five days later, they came upon a seemingly ordinary pit.

The pit lay at the end of a passage, similar to other pits encountered along the way, with nothing special visible at first glance.

However, Lin Xiuzhu closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before resolutely stopping here.

He then ignored Li Ji’an, sitting cross-legged on the ground, his divine sense attempting to investigate the situation below the pit.

Unfortunately, like the other pits, once his divine sense entered, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, with no feedback at all.

After a short while, he slowly rose, staring below the pit with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Li Ji’an was stirred, realizing that this was his destination.

"You, infuse essence blood into this pit," Lin Xiuzhu said after a moment, suddenly turning around and sternly commanding Li Ji’an.

Li Ji’an gave a slight smile, "Do you really think my essence blood is a universal key?"

"Huh?" Seeing the bitter smile that flashed across Li Ji’an’s face, Lin Xiuzhu’s eyes narrowed, and he coldly snorted, releasing his pressure again.

"Senior... I’ve already depleted too much of my vitality and blood; I’m afraid..." Li Ji’an said bitterly.

"Less nonsense, infuse the essence blood or die!" Lin Xiuzhu was entirely indifferent to Li Ji’an’s thoughts, radiating murderous intent, as the Golden Body Corpse Puppet step by step approached Li Ji’an.

Li Ji’an slightly frowned, hesitating whether to have Ning Sujin act now.

"Heh~ Brother Lin, what a clever plan." At that moment, a familiar cold laugh sounded.

Soon after, a cloud of dark mist floated over.

In the next instant, the Yin Ghost Saint Child appeared from within the mist.

"Brother Lin, it’s none of my business; it’s the old ghost who insisted on it," the voice of the Blood Spirit Saintess then sounded from behind.

Lin Xiuzhu’s face turned as cold as water, staring directly at the Yin Ghost Saint Child. "You dare to place a Yin Ghost Seal on me?"

The Yin Ghost Saint Child chuckled and replied, "Brother Lin, don’t look at me that way; you acted without conscience first, so don’t blame me."

"The reason that Ghost King suddenly regained its intelligence and then attacked me in a frenzy was all your doing behind the scenes!" Lin Xiuzhu affirmed.

The Yin Ghost Saint Child candidly nodded, "Yes, it was indeed me!"

"I might as well tell you that when the Ghost King pierced your Body-Protecting Dharma Shield, you were already marked with my Yin Ghost Seal!"

Lin Xiuzhu’s expression returned to normal, even revealing a cold smile. "It seems that even before coming here, you planned to plot against us to monopolize the opportunity here.

The people of the Yin Ghost Sect are indeed not trustworthy."

As he spoke, Lin Xiuzhu looked towards the Blood Spirit Saintess, his intent clear.

"Hahaha, Lin Xiuzhu, at this point, do you still want to pretend? Surely your Ancestor of the Corpse Puppet Sect left you a trick; there must be secrets here that we don’t know.

As for hidden malice, perhaps you never regarded us as living people when you summoned us," the Yin Ghost Saint Child laughed wildly.

Lin Xiuzhu remained silent, turning his gaze to the Blood Spirit Saintess.

"The Blood Woman has already told me her sect’s ancestral secret; here, the True Dragon Essence Blood and Dragon Soul are suppressed separately. Even if the Blood Woman has obtained the True Dragon Essence Blood now, I don’t care. As long as I kill you, I will obtain the Dragon Soul, and the Blood Woman will obtain the Dragon Blood, making the most of everything!" The Yin Ghost Saint Child sneered, also looking at the Blood Spirit Saintess.

In the current situation, none of them counted Li Ji’an among their concerns. Three Core Formation Middle Stage cultivators, two against one, assured victory.

Thus, which side the Blood Spirit Saintess stood on became decisive.

Facing their gaze, the Blood Spirit Saintess did not respond but decisively took a step back.
