Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 56 New Gains

When Lu Ping attacked Qiao Xipeng, he had noticed that the sea snake was leaving. The reason why neither of them stopped it and prevented it from attacking them when they were fighting was that they knew that the sea snake already had no magic power at all. After performing the mysterious skill and Self-Exploding Blood Bead, the sea snake had exhausted its magic power. Moreover, when the sea snake left, it left a large blood trail in the sea, which exposed its direction. Therefore, both of them intended to pick up the sea snake's body after killing the other side.

Lu Ping followed the blood trail left by the sea snake on the sea and flew towards the southwest.

After Lu Ping chased for nearly 30 miles, he was gradually close to the sea snake.

Lu Ping didn't know what made the sea snake manage to go so far when it knew it was bound to die, but after seeing Qiao Xipeng fight with the sea snake, he knew that the sea snake had high spiritual intelligence. It severely injured Qiao Xipeng even if it was at an absolute disadvantage, but Lu Ping became the final beneficiary.

Therefore, the closer Lu Ping was to the sea snake, the more cautious he was. Moreover, the sea area here was already under the jurisdiction of the Xuan Spirit Sect.

Lu Ping had already dived more than 120 meters at this time. The powerful water pressure had almost totally constrained his magic power. At this place, he was only 20 to 25 meters away from the bottom of the sea and had already seen the sea snake's curled corpse, but it was too difficult to reach it.

Lu Ping saw a cave with an entrance that had a circumference of 3 meters behind the sea snake. It was probably the sea snake's lair. Was there anything in the lair that the sea snake couldn't give up and let it return to guard even if it was dying?

This sea snake was obviously the mate of the sea snake he killed last time. Were there demon eggs of the offspring of the two sea snakes in the lair?

Thinking of this, Lu Ping got excited. However, he was deterred by the short depth of 20 to 25 meters. Lu Ping was annoyed. It seemed that he could only enter the cave after he entered the Blood Dissolving stage, or when he found some magic weapon specially for diving.

Fortunately, at the bottom of the sea, the seawater blocked the exploration of Divine Mentality Coercions. Ordinary cultivators would never find this cave unless Zhenrens at the Alchemy stage specially searched here, or other cultivators specially dived into the sea.

Lu Ping, who emerged from the sea, noted the location of this sea area, and then hurriedly returned to Huangli Island. If he was discovered by the sea patrol cultivators of the Xuan Spirit Sect, he would probably be in trouble again.

In a blink of an eye, it had been half a month since Lu Ping returned to Huangli Island.

In the cultivation room, Lu Ping played with an exquisite storage bag, which had belonged to Qiao Xipeng.

This was the second time Lu Ping had gotten a storage bag of a cultivator at the Blood Dissolving stage. He got his first exquisite storage bag from Sheng Tao's abode.

At the openings of the storage bags of cultivators at the Blood Dissolving stage, there was a magic pattern set by Divine Mentality Coercions. Qiao Xipeng's storage bag also had one. Only the owners could open such storage bags. If others opened them forcibly, most of the things in the storage bags would be damaged.

Because alchemist Sheng Tao wanted to pass his effects on to someone, he didn't set a magic pattern at the opening of his storage bag. Therefore, after Lu Ping returned, he had to spend half a month to c***k the magic pattern at the opening of Qiao Xipeng's storage bag. Fortunately, Qiao Xipeng had been dead, and Lu Ping finally opened the storage bag completely.

It was time to count his gains again. Lu Ping cheered up a bit. This time, he suffered a heavy loss after fighting with Qiao Xipeng. Those more than ten highest-grade Blood Magic Figures cost him 300 or 400 spiritual stones, and the two blood-sacrificed flying swords also cost him 300 or 400 spiritual stones. Moreover, his protective magic weapon stone tower was damaged severely by Qiao Xipeng with a blow. It took nearly 200 spiritual stones to repair it. The two sets of Early Warning Magic Figures and one set of Sub-Root Landmine Magic Figures also cost him 500 or 600 spiritual stones. Besides those things, Lu Ping used two elixirs of high quality for healing wounds and replenishing spiritual strength. In total, he lost 2,000 spiritual stones, which was exclusive of the time he wasted cultivating after being seriously injured.

Lu Ping took a cold breath. The outcome of the fights among cultivators depended not only on their cultivation, but also on their wisdom and courage, and rich wealth was also essential!

Fortunately, Lu Ping had set a proper trap and successfully killed Qiao Xipeng. He quickly opened the storage bag. First of all, it was 24 medium-grade spiritual stones and more than 300 low-grade spiritual stones, all of which were equal to 2,800 low-grade spiritual stones. Therefore, Lu Ping's loss was compensated, and he even gained some extra spiritual stones. After the auction, Lu Ping was hard up for spiritual stones. Seeing these, he let out a long sigh of relief. At least his extravagant cultivation would not be hindered by the problem of spiritual stones.

There were few magic weapons. One of Qiao Xipeng's medium-grade magic weapons was destroyed by the sea snake's Self-Exploding Blood Bead, and the other two were broken by Lu Ping. There was only a medium-grade short spear magic weapon, which might be a spare. Besides, there were two low-grade magic weapons. Lu Ping naturally didn't need them.

Lu Ping thought that Qiao Xipeng might have a high-grade magic weapon. However, he was disappointed.

On second thought, Lu Ping figured out the reason. High-grade magic weapons were far more precious than medium-grade magic weapons. Back then, he was lucky enough to get a good dark iron with enough weight. Moreover, with the good quality of "Landslide" and the superb skills of Chen and his son, "Landslide" barely became a high-grade magic weapon.

When cultivators entered the Blood Dissolving stage, they could give full play to the power of magic weapons due to the transformation of magic power and the appearance of Divine Mentality Coercions. However, because of the level of cultivators' cultivation, cultivators who were at the early stage of Blood Dissolving could give better play to the power of medium-grade magic weapons than that of high-grade magic weapons.

Lu Ping, who figured out the reason, looked at the several jade slips on the ground. After checking them one by one, he finally found something. One of the jade slips recorded the cultivation experience of Qiao Xipeng in detail, especially the process and his thoughts of entering the Blood Dissolving stage, which made Lu Ping feel like he had got a treasure.

From other jade slips, Lu Ping knew that the name of the two dead sea snakes was Blue Sea Spiritual Snake. They had relatively pure Dragon Bloodline and were the nobles among the demon races.

Although Lu Ping didn't know why they built their cave in the sea area at the junction of the Xuan Spirit Sect and the True Spirit Sect, he felt that this matter was not simple and might even cause big trouble.

Lu Ping laughed. Anyway, others didn't know that the deaths of the two spiritual snakes were related to him. Even if something came up, bigwigs would deal with it.

After finishing sorting out the several jade slips, Lu Ping checked the several jade bottles that contained elixirs one by one. There were two bottles of elixirs for supplementing spiritual strength and one bottle of elixirs for healing wounds. All of them were of high quality.

There were two bottles of other elixirs. Lu Ping, who inherited the effects of alchemist Sheng Tao, recognized that they were "thousand ginseng elixirs" which were used by cultivators at the early stage of Blood Dissolving. Their effect was only ordinary among that of the elixirs at the Blood Dissolving stage, but they were not available to every cultivator at the Blood Dissolving stage.

Even the True Spirit Sect, a major sect in the northern sea, only managed to make the ordinary elixirs, fine blood elixirs, available to its every disciple at the Blood Refining stage. So, every kind of elixir at the Blood Dissolving stage was precious and the price of every bottle of them wasn't lower than the normal price of a blood dissolving elixir.

Lu Ping imagined about it. The normal price of a blood dissolving elixir was about 2,000 spiritual stones. Then an ordinary elixir at the early stage of Blood Dissolving was 200 spirit stones, which was ten times that of a muddy blood elixir!

If he used them according to the frequency of using elixirs when he was at the Blood Refining stage... Lu Ping shivered all over and temporarily decided to leave this problem behind before he successfully entered the Blood Dissolving stage. At the same time, he also strengthened his determination to learn alchemy.

Then, there was only a blue jade bottle left in front of Lu Ping. This bottle was different from the other five. He deliberately saved it for last to see if it could surprise him.

He gently removed the medicine plug, and a familiar fragrance immediately came out of the bottle.

It was actually a blood dissolving elixir!
