Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 29 Appointment

Lu Ping, whose cultivation had reached the ninth level, suppressed his excitement and spent a whole month consolidating the cultivation he had just reached. With the help of the remaining two bottles of muddy blood elixirs, he quickly consolidated his cultivation and made great progress.

The ninth level of Blood Refining was an important transition period between the Blood Refining stage and the Blood Dissolving stage.

If ordinary people wanted to become cultivators, they must first activate their own spiritual bloodlines.

It was said that all living beings in this world were descendants of the seven ancestors who created the world, and everyone had seven spiritual bloodlines in their bodies. After they activated these seven Spiritual bloodlines, they could absorb and let out spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and gradually strengthened their spiritual bloodlines. This was what they could do at the Blood Refining stage.

After cultivators reached the ninth level of Blood Refining, the seven spiritual bloodlines in their bodies would be fully activated. At this time, they would have a chance to enter the Blood Dissolving stage.

The so-called Blood Dissolving was to choose any one of the seven spiritual bloodlines to cultivate and expel the spiritual strength of the other six ones, thus it could dominate the Bloodline in the cultivators' bodies and help them reach the Blood Dissolving stage.

After that, cultivators would use the spiritual blood of the dominant spiritual bloodline to make up for the deficiency of their own Bloodline. In the end, the cultivators' whole Bloodline would completely fuse into a spiritual bloodline. This was the cultivation process of the Blood Dissolving stage.

Lu Ping had reached the ninth level of Blood Refining, which meant that he had to choose one of the seven spiritual bloodlines as his main Bloodline during the Blood Dissolving stage, which was also called the Foundation Bloodline.

Lu Ping hadn't made up his mind. His priority was to carry on his cultivation and reach the peak of the ninth level of Blood Refining. After getting blood dissolving elixirs, he would consider entering the Blood Dissolving stage.

On this day, Lu Ping finished his cultivation and sold the Magic Figures he had recently refined in the market. Then he bought three bottles of fine blood elixirs in the Elixir Selling House of the True Spirit Sect. About one hundred spiritual stones he got from selling Magic Figures were spent in a twinkling of an eye, and besides that, he had to pay a dozen of spiritual stones.

After Lu Ping entered the ninth level of Blood Refining, his needs for elixirs increased greatly. Moreover, he had been using thick blood elixirs and muddy blood elixirs before, which were more advanced than fine blood elixirs. Although the expense of fine blood elixirs is less, his cultivation speed was greatly constrained due to the thin content of spiritual strength in fine blood elixirs.

Even so, the monthly expenditure on elixirs was still rising sharply. If Lu Ping hadn't saved some spiritual stones but just sold Magic Figures to cover his cultivation expense, he would lack cultivation resources like most cultivators.

This was the result of Lu Ping's further improvement in making Magic Figures. Especially after he bought high-quality yellow spell papers at the trade fair and entered the ninth level of Blood Refining, he rarely failed to make Magic Figures.

Alchemy was really a profiteering industry!

After returning to True Spirit Academy, Lu Ping was asked to go to Immortal Senior Liu to get this year's travel task. When he arrived at Immortal Senior Liu's cultivation room, he found that besides him, the other eight disciples of the seventh team who had reached the eighth level were also there.

After they all arrived and bowed to Immortal Senior Liu, they heard Immortal Senior Liu say happily, "Lu Ping's cultivation has reached the ninth level of Blood Refining. I'm very glad! So, there are four disciples at the ninth level of Blood Refining in our seventh team, and we are not weaker than the first team anymore."

The others were surprised when they heard that Lu Ping's cultivation had improved so rapidly.

Immortal Senior Liu did not talk much about this, but directly announced this year's travel task. They would be stationed on Xuanqi Island for three years.

The third-level disciples of the academy had to perform various tasks of the sect in the last three years.

The conflict between the Xuan Spirit Sect and the True Spirit Sect had been eased, and Xuanqi Island had been occupied by the True Spirit Sect. So, the True Spirit Sect needed to send disciples at the Blood Refining stage to station the sixteen miniature islands under the jurisdiction of Xuanqi Island. Last time, the seventh team participated in attacking and occupying Xuanqi Island, and they were familiar with the sea area around it, so the sect chose the seventh team for this task.

After coming out of Immortal Senior Liu's place, Lu Ping felt that there might be some twists and turns in this mission. The Xuan Spirit Sect suffered a big loss and lost a small-scale spiritual mine. Lu Ping didn't think that the Xuan Spirit Sect would give up on Xuanqi Island. He needed to make more preparations. After all, there was no telling what would happen in the next three years.

Because Lu Ping and the others would leave for Xuanqi Island three days later, Lu Ping was pressed for time.

He came to the market again and first came to the Weapon Refining Pavilion of the True Spirit Sect.

Lu Ping got eighty-five contribution values from his previous missions, which were enough for him to get a medium-grade magic weapon. The reason why he hadn't got it was that the magic weapons in the Weapon Refining Pavilion were relatively unitary. They were not as diverse and various as those in the market. Although they had good quality, they were not very outstanding among the medium-grade magic weapons.

This task was urgent. Lu Ping had no time to go to other places in the market to get a handy magic weapon. He could only come to the Weapon Refining Pavilion for a common medium-grade magic weapon.

A medium-grade magic weapon required at least fifty contribution values. Those magic weapons with better quality or special functions even required nearly one hundred contribution values.

Lu Ping looked at those magic weapons and thought that the most practical one was flying swords, so he exchanged 65 contribution values for a "Flying Feather Sword". Looking at the remaining 20 contribution values, Lu Ping shook his head. It was really expensive, but considering that this magic weapon would cost 200 spiritual stones outside, Lu Ping still felt that he got a bargain.

Lu Ping passed by the Elixirs Selling Pavilion of the True Spirit Sect. After thinking for a while, he decided to go in and have a look.

The elixirs sold in the Elixirs Selling Pavilion were mainly for disciples at the Blood Refining stage and cultivators at the low level of the Blood Dissolving stage. These elixirs were common and popular. After browsing around, Lu Ping found that only fine blood elixirs were applicable to him on the list of sales. He was disappointed and planned to leave.

Seeing that Lu Ping was leaving, the clerk in the Elixirs Selling Pavilion asked casually, "Sir, didn't you find any elixirs that were suitable for you?"

Lu Ping was going to leave. Hearing this, he said, "I just want to get some elixirs that are more suitable than fine blood elixirs for cultivators at the ninth level of Blood Refining, but I didn't find them here."

The clerk smiled and said, "We have what you need. The lord of our pavilion has some channels to get them. Because there is a limited number of them, they are sold to some of his acquaintances or influential cultivators. Ordinary cultivators can only get the elixirs prescribed by our sect."

Lu Ping suddenly realized that the True Spirit Sect was strong and rich. How could they not refine those elixirs? Although they were better than fine blood elixirs, they were just elixirs for cultivators at the Blood Refining stage. How could the alchemists of the True Spirit Sect attach great importance to them?

But the True Spirit Sect also sought interests. Compared with other elixirs at the Blood Refining stage, fine blood elixirs were undoubtedly the most suitable for them to make a profile, and the inside story was naturally a secret.

Lu Ping looked at the clerk's half-smile, and it suddenly dawned on him. He handed ten spiritual stones to the clerk and said with a smile, "I don't know those things. Please enlighten me!"

The clerk took the spiritual stones with good grace and handed Lu Ping the list of several elixirs. It seemed that he had been prepared long ago.
