Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Blood of the Yuan Dan Cultivator (Stick with it!)_1

"Greetings, Senior Brother Qi Yuan!" Dong Xian stepped forward, looking at Qi Yuan with a respectful expression.

"Is it you?" Qi Yuan glanced at Dong Xian, taking half a step back involuntarily.

People like Dong Xian, who seem to have the protagonist’s fate, are better off keeping their distance.

In every TV show or anime Qi Yuan has seen.

Whenever a supporting character suddenly appears showing kindness to the protagonist.

Without a doubt, this person is about to be killed, setting off the protagonist’s explosive power.

Many TV shows have similar plotlines.

"Old Fei."

Qi Yuan is not old, nor does he want to get killed.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, I have a favor to ask, though I’m uncertain whether it is appropriate to bring up." Dong Xian remarked.

Qi Yuan hurriedly replied: "It’s not appropriate."

He immediately cut Dong Xian off before he could say anything.

At this moment, Qi Yuan finally started to seriously assess Dong Xian.

[He’s just an ordinary youngster, who’s awakened the remaining spirit within his body. He is a weapon refining master, and this weapon refining master, has taken a liking to your kitchen knife.]

Seeing that Dong Xian wasn’t reacting, Qi Yuan patted his shoulder: "Young man, there’s a strange fire in the Divine Medicine Peak’s kitchen that would suit you well."

Having said this, Qi Yuan left straight away.

However, while he was walking, he hid the aura of his knife.

That remaining spirit had taken a liking to his knife, arousing his alertness.

At this moment, Dong Xian was still standing there, looking completely perplexed.

"Strange fire? What is this."

At that moment, Elder Qi’s voice came to him.

"Be careful of this Qi Yuan, he’s not as simple as he seems."

"Ah?"

"While making direct contact just now, I sensed that the kitchen knife he carried had been stained with blood."

"Blood? Isn’t that pretty normal?"

"It’s the blood of a Yuan Dan stage cultivator." Elder Qi explained.

Dong Xian was stunned.

A Yuan Dan stage cultivator?

The kitchen knife... killed a Yuan Dan stage cultivator?

You should know that Yuan Dan cultivators are generally seen as existing on the same level as the royal family in the Da Shang state.

That seemingly ordinary kitchen knife had actually been tainted with the blood of a Yuan Dan cultivator?

Was it a reward from the Seven Colors Peak Master for Qi Yuan?

No wonder Elder Qi said the kitchen knife was extraordinary.

Elder Qi continued: "That Qi Yuan can only be a friend, never an enemy."

He didn’t finish what he wanted to say: that blood was recent.

Dong Xian couldn’t help but laugh: "Why would I ever make an enemy of a grand disciple of a peak like this?"

...

At Seven Colors Peak, Jiang Lingsu seemed curious.

"Eldest Senior Brother, are you going to leave the Sect?"

Qi Yuan nodded: "I’ve already informed the Sect Master, he agreed to permit me to establish my foundation outside the Sect."

"Establish your foundation?" Jiang Lingsu was confused, "Why must you leave the Sect?"

Can’t he establish his foundation right at Seven Colors Peak?

"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

Jiang Lingsu was stunned: "Eldest Senior Brother, sometimes you speak quite wisely.

However... I feel that you are not just trying to establish your foundation."

"Sigh." Qi Yuan sighed, "Your Eldest Senior Brother here is actually running for his life, risking it all for a chance to survive."

Qi Yuan felt that he was like the tragic figure Nangong Da Xian, who dared to risk everything for immortality.

Jiang Lingsu remained silent: "Eldest Senior Brother, could you please speak English?"

Upon seeing her confusion, Qi Yuan explained: "Aren’t I afraid of the Heishan Sect suspecting that I killed Chu Tianxiong and his associates?

If Black Chicken old monster brings his men down to the peak to confront me, won’t I be trapped with no way out?

It’s better to hide outside, and come back when all’s quiet."

Jiang Lingsu: "...Eldest Senior Brother, you really should get going as soon as possible, I fear that spending too much time with you might make me lose my mind."

Jiang Lingsu looked disdainful.

However, she seemed to have realized something and prompted: "Eldest Senior Brother, be careful when you are alone outside.

The Heishan Sect, in their desperation, may indeed come after you."

"Great minds think alike, I also sensed the wild ambitions of the Heishan Sect!" Qi Yuan agreed enthusiastically.

Jiang Lingsu: "...Eldest Senior Brother, I think you would be a once-in-a-century handsome guy if you were mute."

Once he opens his mouth... it’s all over.

Of course, she was not mocking Qi Yuan’s voice, but the sheer absurdity of his words.

...

"We still have two vacancies in the Heaven tier seats, hurry up if you want to swap spots, it only takes one Spirit Stone!"

A female cultivator at the Qi Cultivating stage reminded those who had Earth tier seats aboard the Spirit Boat in a clear voice.

This was a flying boat heading for Bloodless city.

Bloodless City, situated at the northernmost point of Da Shang, is a relatively chaotic city.

After all, Bloodless City is not far from the area ruled by the Heishan Sect.

Generally speaking, not many orthodox cultivators are willing to go there.

But outside of Bloodless City, a kind of Blood Crystal can be found.

This Blood Crystal is valuable and can be used by some cultivators for cultivation.

Therefore, many independent cultivators, and even disciples from large sects, go to the Bloodless City to mine Blood Crystals and enhance their strength.

At present, Qi Yuan is sitting in the Spirit Boat.

This Spirit Boat is a Foundation Establishment device.

However, unlike other Foundation Establishment devices, all its attributes are focused on speed.

Qi Yuan was intrigued at hearing the "stewardess’s" words.

The other day, he had gotten rich all of a sudden and he wanted to go to the first-class cabin.

But thinking that he ought to be low-key as he was up to big things, he dismissed that idea.

"Fellow Daoist, are you also going to the Bloodless City to mine Blood Crystals? I see that you have an extraordinary temperament. Are you a disciple from a large Sect?" At this moment, a beautiful woman sitting next to him started a conversation with Qi Yuan.

The beautiful woman was elegantly dressed, her hair pinned up in a loose bun and a peachwood hairpin was inserted slantingly into the bun.

The plain green dress, tastefully elegant and exceptionally dignified.

She’s simply dressed, but it’s clear she’s wealthy - a wealthy woman.

On hearing this, Qi Yuan was surprised. Even though he had used disguise techniques and a concealment spell to change his face and reduce his attractiveness by ninety percent, his essential handsomeness was still noticed.

"I’m just an independent cultivator." Qi Yuan’s current role was that of an independent cultivator.

"That’s pretty good, being an independent cultivator. You’re tenacious in doing things.

When I was young, I was also an independent cultivator. Now that I’m older, I’ve joined a sect and I prefer a more stable life." The beautiful woman sighed.

"Isn’t the lady still in her prime?" Qi Yuan said.

As the saying goes, a young man does not know the value of an older woman and mistakes a Lolita for a treasure.

A rich and beautiful woman like this one would surely have many admirers.

Qi Yuan does possess the skill "Overbearing Strength", but he hasn’t awakened to the attributes of a boss.

"Fellow Daoist sure knows how to talk." The beautiful woman laughed enchantingly, "You can’t compare to you young, strong ones."

She gazed at Qi Yuan’s tall and robust figure, as if recalling the past.

"Fellow Daoist, when you go to the Bloodless City to mine Blood Crystals, be careful of the people from the Heishan Sect.

As for the Bloodless City, it’s better to offend the City Lord than to offend the Heishan Sect.

If you offend the City Lord, probably only you will die. But if you offend the Heishan Sect, your whole family might end up dead." Mentioning the Heishan Sect, a trace of fear and disgust appeared in her eyes.

"Has the Heishan Sect become so terrible, even exterminating entire families?" Qi Yuan lowered his voice, somewhat agitated.

If the Heishan Sect found out that he killed Chu Tianxiong, would they go to Blue Star and kill his whole family?

That would be unbearable!

But Qi Yuan thought better of it. He doesn’t have any ’whole family’.

His household registration only includes himself.

How pitiful!

He doesn’t know how to counter-argue when he is ridiculed online.

"The Heishan Sect is large and powerful, extremely domineering as well.

We, going to the Bloodless City to mine Blood Crystals, not only have to give a tenth to the City Lord’s Mansion but also give a fifth to the Heishan Sect.

Even...it’s more than a fifth!" At this point, the beautiful woman gritted her teeth, appearing quite angry.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was immediately furious: "The Bloodless City is not under Heishan Sect’s rule, why are they being so arrogant?

They are even worse than capitalists, they should be hanged!"

The beautiful woman, seeing this, lowered her voice: "Fellow Daoist, please speak quieter. If the people of Heishan Sect hear, it would lead to no end of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan thought to himself.

I’m not being selfish!

I’m not seeking revenge for myself!

I’m acting on behalf of Heaven!

He brainwashed himself but he had already taken the moral high ground to look down on the Heishan Sect.

He and the beautiful woman chatted away happily during the journey on the Spirit Boat.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Qi Yuan’s emotional quotient, but more to do with his good looks and youthfulness.

About ten hours passed before the Spirit Boat landed.

A mass of cultivators trickled off the Spirit Boat.

The beautiful woman politely extended an invitation: "If you have no place to stay, why not stay at my place for a night?"

On hearing this, Qi Yuan glanced at the sky.

"No, thank you."

He had to do it quickly, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to catch the last Spirit Boat.

He wouldn’t stay overnight here.

After killing someone, he had to run quickly!

Return to the scene of the crime?

Murderers should know that returning to the scene to observe is an easy way to get caught.

Just then, a somewhat discontent voice rang out.

"Mother, I am here."

A young woman in a fine palace-style dress came over, a Foundation Establishment woman cultivator following her. The young woman in the palace-style dress looked at Qi Yuan with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Qi Yuan looked on, feeling baffled.

"Farewell, Daoist Liu Piao." Qi Yuan bade the beautiful woman goodbye and turned to leave.

The palace-style dressed young woman walked up, linking her arm with the beautiful woman’s: "Mother, who is that man?"

The beautiful woman laughed: "Xiao Rou, you have a problem with being overly cautious of everyone. He’s just an independent cultivator I met by chance, who is going to the Bloodless City to mine Blood Crystals. I felt that he has a good temperament so I had a chat with him. You, on the other hand, aren’t so young anymore. You should find a Daoist companion."

The alertness in the young woman’s eyes disappeared and she said helplessly, "With such a big mine to deal with, where do I have the time?

Besides, Mother, although I am not a celebrated cultivator, I also can’t just be paired with any random independent cultivator on the street, right?

After picking you up, I have to go to the Heishan Sect with the other mine owners, we’ve agreed to set off in two hours."

Mentioning the Heishan Sect, an undissipating cloud of worry appeared in the young woman’s eyes.
