I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 197: Blood Dan

It is said that after learning that several forces from the Qingfeng Sect were planning to unite and attack his Wujizong, with the intention of wiping out his sect, the Sect Master of Wujizong continuously sought opportunities for survival. However, whether it was seeking allies or external support, all attempts ended in failure. Wujizong seemed to be an abandoned child, unwelcome wherever it went.

At this time, the Sect Master of Wujizong suddenly had an idea.

Instead of seeking external support, why not strengthen their own power? Their sect had brought upon this great calamity due to their weak strength. If they were powerful, they wouldn't have ended up like this. To put it bluntly, if they had a Gold Core, other sects would be the ones to fear. Even the lowest-grade fake pill among the Gold Cores would be enough to protect the sect.

Of course, this idea was too naive. Since its establishment, Wujizong had never had a Gold Core, and even the Vice Sect Master in the late Purple Mansion stage was unable to achieve it. The Sect Master himself was already in the late Purple Mansion stage, but due to his age, breaking through to the Gold Core stage was nothing but wishful thinking.

However, this direction was always correct, so the Sect Master of Wujizong began to strive in this aspect.

Afterwards, he found an item in the sect's treasure vault. To be precise, it wasn't really a treasure. It was something a predecessor of Wujizong had confiscated from a Purple Mansion stage demonic cultivator. It was an extremely cruel alchemy technique. It had always been kept in the sect, strictly guarded, and no one except the successive sect masters knew about it.

Because this alchemy technique was too cruel, the Sect Master felt a chill when he first heard about it after becoming the sect master.

But now, they couldn't care about that anymore. The sect was facing an imminent disaster, and in such times, they had to use any means necessary.

Wujizong was now seen by all forces as a quenching fruit. By consuming Wujizong, they could prolong their own lifespan. However, Wujizong would not sit idly by. They would let everyone know that this fruit was poisonous.

This alchemy technique was called the Blood Dan technique. It involved refining a Blood Dan using a large amount of cultivators' flesh and blood, which could enhance the cultivator's strength. Of course, it was limited to those below the Gold Core stage; otherwise, the Sect Master would have used it himself.

With this restriction in mind, the Sect Master gathered all the Foundation Building cultivators in the sect and distributed different Blood Dans to each of them. Consuming the Blood Dan allowed those in the early Foundation Building stage to quickly reach the mid-stage, and those in the mid-stage to quickly reach the late stage. Consuming it in the late stage also had a considerable chance of directly breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage.

As for where the pills came from, that would have to be asked of the over ten thousand Qi Refining cultivators who had disappeared within Wujizong.

"Don't blame me, the sect has always nurtured you well. It's time for you to contribute." The Sect Master of Wujizong thought to himself.

He initially felt reluctant to refine the Blood Dan using his disciples' flesh and blood, but later on, he became numb to it, and eventually accepted it.

As the Sect Master of Wujizong, if he didn't do this, what else could he do? He had to save Wujizong by any means necessary. Besides, those who hadn't reached the Foundation Building stage were all insignificant ants. These Qi Refining disciples would inevitably die in the future. By making contributions now, they would die a meaningful death.

As long as the sect could be safe and worry-free in the future, they could recruit as many Qi Refining disciples as they wanted and restore the sect to its former glory in no time.

However, these Blood Dans also had side effects. That's why he made a final effort in the sect's grand formation just now, hoping that everyone would retreat. But no one gave him any chance.

"Since that's the case, today, one person will be counted as one, all buried within our Wujizong. Hahaha."

The Sect Master of Wujizong laughed loudly, his eyes no longer resembling those of a human.

Refining these Blood Dans had also allowed him to elevate his alchemy technique, which was originally a low-grade third-tier technique, to a high-grade third-tier technique, making him the number one alchemist in the Zhao Kingdom.

Not long after consuming the Blood Dans, these Foundation Building cultivators began to break through one by one. The breakthrough from the early stage to the mid-stage was incredibly smooth, and they quickly reached the mid-stage.

Seeing this scene, the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, what's the use of so many Qi Refining cultivators? As long as the upper-level cultivators are strong enough, it doesn't matter how many of them come, it's useless."

Thinking about the many scattered cultivators outside the formation, the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect became even more satisfied.

Perhaps after this, they could refine even more Blood Pills. By then, the strength of their Wuji Sect would be so powerful that he couldn't even imagine it. Perhaps they could unify the Zhao Kingdom.

The mid-Foundation Building stage cultivators have already begun to break through to the late stage, while the late stage cultivators are still absorbing the medicinal power and advancing towards the Purple Mansion.

However, one of them did not take the pill, just pretending. If Lin Qing saw him, she would definitely recognize him. It turned out to be Zhu, the steward of the Zhu family. At this moment, he cursed the Sect Master in his heart: "You're crazy yourself, why did you bring us along? Taking this pill without me knowing, it can enhance cultivation, but in the future, it will cloud the mind. Do you think I..."

The gaze of the Sect Master swept over, and Zhu, the steward, quickly dared not think anymore, pretending to be like everyone else.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing and the others flew three circles within the Wuji Sect, but did not see any cultivators.

Instead, there were various spiritual fields and spiritual medicines within the Wuji Sect, all intact as if the entire population of the Wuji Sect had evaporated in an instant, leaving everything behind for anyone to take.

"What's going on? Could it be that the entire sect can leave this place?" Qin Laozu said in confusion. Although he was tempted by the various things, their focus as Purple Mansion cultivators was not on these.

"Should we split up and search? Other disciples are currently breaking through the various traps and restrictions within the Wuji Sect. We need to find their Purple Mansions quickly," Elder Meng said.

"No!" Just as Elder Meng finished speaking, Vice Sect Master Lu spoke up.

"How can we split up? In my opinion, all the cultivators of the Wuji Sect are hiding in one place. We haven't discovered it yet because they have concealed themselves extremely well. They are still thinking of fighting back like trapped beasts and setting traps for us. If we split up, we might be defeated one by one." Vice Sect Master Lu explained further.

"That's right." The usually silent Daoist Chiyang nodded.

With the two strongest Purple Mansion cultivators speaking, the others dared not say anything and could only continue searching.

Just as they were about to search the fourth circle, Daoist Chiyang looked suspiciously at a flat area below, and then Lin Qing and the others also looked in that direction. They had searched there before and found nothing unusual, but now an unusual aura was emanating from there. Gradually, their expressions changed.

"Purple Mansions? Five of them?"

Suddenly, the aura of five Purple Mansions came from underground. For a moment, Daoist Chiyang's face changed slightly, and Lin Qing and the others felt that something was not right.

"There are only five!"

Unlike Lin Qing and the others' surprise, the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect felt somewhat disappointed.

More than ten late-stage Foundation Building cultivators of the sect had taken the most powerful Blood Pills, but only five successfully broke through to the Purple Mansion stage. This made him unhappy. There should have been a few more at least.

However, looking at these five Purple Mansion cultivators and thinking about his own strength as well as the mid-stage Purple Mansion Vice Sect Master, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now we have a total of seven Purple Mansions, which is comparable to the Qingfeng Sect. There shouldn't be a problem protecting the sect this time."
