Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 21 Rake

In detail, this map displayed the locations of Xuanqi Island and the miniature islands and seas within its jurisdiction, as well as the producing areas of various spiritual mines, spiritual herbs, spiritual grains, spiritual materials, and other things needed for cultivation.

Lu Ping looked up warily and found that the others were still enjoying the battle between the four experts who were at the Blood Dissolving stage. He quietly found a body of a disciple of Xuan Spirit Sect whose figure resembled his, stripped him of his clothes, then burned the body out with a fire. He made his face blurred in the eyes of ordinary people with Disguise Skill and then ran towards other places on the island as guided by the map.

The reason why every sect wanted to expand its sphere of influence was to gain more cultivation resources. In addition to some natural spiritual mines and spiritual herbs, other renewable resources also needed to be cultivated.

Therefore, every appropriate place within the sect's sphere of influence should be used to cultivate these cultivation resources, and resident Immortal Seniors needed to guide local ordinary people to cultivate them. Then they could share these resources with the sect and safeguard their places.

Three miles to the east, at the sunny side of the cliff, there was about half an acre of spiritual fields. Lu Ping pocketed one hundred and fifty kilos of spiritual grains. They yielded poorly! Lu Ping was self-talking while running to the next place.

The Spiritual Wood Garden which lays around 5.6 miles to the southeast just handed in ten pieces of spiritual wood. The others were of poor quality. What rotten luck!

On the mountainside of the back mountain, about six miles to the south, there was a refined copper mine. Refined copper was the main ore for refining low-grade and medium-grade magic weapons. Lu Ping got a hundred crude ores here.

There was a Spiritual Herb Garden under the shade of the mountain to the west. Lu Ping got dozens of one-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs that had been ripened, most of which could be used to refine the elixirs for cultivators at the late stage of Blood Refining. Among them, there was only a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb that could be used to refine the common elixirs for cultivators at the Blood Dissolving stage!

Lu Ping had raked the spiritual mine in the north but hadn't made a trip to the rest small places. If he took too many things away, it would be too obvious and suspicious. Moreover, there probably weren't any good things, and the fight between those four people was probably going to end. In this trip, except for what he got from the spiritual mine, the other things he got might be worth nearly a thousand spiritual stones.

Thinking that he got almost 3,000 spiritual stones on this trip, Lu Ping was excited. It seemed that he could speed up his pace to enter the Blood Dissolving stage!

In this travel, Lu Ping deeply realized the consequences of having low cultivation. He didn't even have the minimum right to know what was behind the travel but worked himself to death for the sect and would probably die without knowing the reason.

Xuanqi Island had a circumference of around 18 miles. It took Lu Ping a lot of time to wander around it. When he was about to arrive at the station of Xuan Spirit Sect, he heard a loud noise in the air followed by two screams. Then the voice of Zhang Zhihe, the leader of "Tongxiu League", came from a distance, "Liu Ziyuan, you actually have entered the late stage of Blood Dissolving. You are so despicable!"

Not long after Lu Ping returned to the station, Immortal Senior Liu and Immortal Senior Du both returned. Immortal Senior Du was obviously tired, but Immortal Senior Liu looked okay. It seemed that there was also a big gap between the cultivation at the middle stage and the late stage of Blood Dissolving.

Seeing that everyone was here, Immortal Senior Liu asked, "Have disciples of our sect eliminated all the enemies? How many casualties have we got?"

Yao Yong, the first senior disciple, stepped forward and said, "Only two enemies who have cultivated Mysterious Skills escaped, but they were badly injured. The rest have all been killed. Five of our disciples died and thirteen of them are injured. The enemies became desperate and went crazy in the end, so they caused such a lose-lose situation."

Immortal Senior Liu sighed and said, "You probably thought you were sure to defeat all of them, right?"

The disciples were embarrassed. What Immortal Senior Liu said was right!

Immortal Senior Liu continued, "In the fight of life and death, no matter when, where, and who you are, you need to go all out. How can you waste your time being smug? You think the other side can't turn the table?"

Immortal Senior Du looked at Immortal Senior Liu who already looked quite angry, quickly mediated and said, "After this fight, you guys should learn a lesson. Keep what Immortal Senior Liu said in your mind and never make such a mistake again!"

All the disciples quickly said yes!

Immortal Senior Liu continued, "Zhao Lingqiao has been killed by Immortal Senior Du and me. Zhang Zhihe escaped with serious injuries with the help of Blood Spirit Shield. It would be difficult for him to recover without years of careful recuperation. We have almost completed half of the travel. It's getting late. You guys take an early rest. After you get energized, you will go to each miniature island of Xuanqi Island to expel or kill the disciples of the Xuan Spirit Sect tomorrow. In the future, Xuanqi Island will be the domain of our True Spirit Sect."

All the disciples looked excited. Then, they dismissed and found their places to rest.

Lu Ping felt that he shouldn't make the spiritual mine thing known to everyone. Seeing the two Immortal Seniors walking to the attic, he quickly kept up with them and slowly followed behind. After the two Immortal Seniors were in the attic for a while, he slowly walked in to meet them.

Immortal Senior Liu said in the attic, "Come in!"

Lu Ping entered the attic and saw the two Immortal Seniors already sitting on two futons and looking at him with a smile.

Lu Ping was startled and thought they had known what he did.

Immortal Senior Du smiled and said, "When we were on the way back to the attic, we've found you hesitating behind us. Do you have anything to tell us?"

Only then did Lu Ping know that they hadn't known what he did. He took a deep breath and told them the story that he had organized.

"What? Small-scale spiritual mine?" Immortal Senior Liu was surprised.

"Liu, calm down. Did you see that man's appearance?" Immortal Senior Du cultivated outside all year round. He was calmer when things came up.

"That man was dressed in black, wearing clothes of the outer disciple of Xuan Spirit Sect. His speed was very high. When I reached the bottom of the cliff, he had disappeared. Later, I found that it was a spiritual mine at the corner. So, I imprisoned the miners in the cave and kept the whole thing a secret. Then I'm here to report this to you."

At this time, Immortal Senior Liu recovered from the shock, "You did a good job, and you must continue keeping this as a secret."

Lu Ping quickly said yes.

Then, Immortal Senior Du said with a wry smile, "I guess the other resources on the island almost have been raked by that man."

Lu Ping's heart trembled.

Immortal Senior Liu continued, "Those things are just some moveable property. As long as the gardens haven't been damaged, we can restore them soon or later. Even tenfold those things can't compare with that spiritual mine. If we can't handle it properly, it would be big trouble!"

Immortal Senior Du nodded and said, "Fortunately, Zhenren Qu is on Xuanhua Island. We should tell him about this quickly. We are 150 miles away from him and could get to his place in a moment."

Immortal Senior Liu said, "I guess it's also out of the control of Zhenren Qu. He probably needs to report it to the sect."

Immortal Senior Du shook his head and said, "That's not what we should worry about. Fortunately, our raid was smooth. Even if there were several living enemies, they couldn't pass the message as fast as we can. We could steal a march on them."

After that, he took out a Magic Figure. Lu Ping knew it was a Sound Transmission Magic Figure, but it was something that could be refined by cultivators who have reached the Blood Dissolving stage. The Sound Transmission Magic Figure was golden with magic power flowing around it. Obviously, it was made by Zhenrens at the Alchemy stage.

After Immortal Senior Liu said a few words to the Magic Figure, he threw it out and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
