Chapter 105 - The Sign of a Kingdom’s Demise
Chapter 105: The Sign of a Kingdom’s Demise
After a good few seconds, Jiang Li stood up from the pile of rubble. As expected, his disciple uniform had become tattered again.
“Are you really only in the mid-stage Body Refinement realm?”
The senior sister looked at Jiang Li who stood up and then looked at her fist with an expression of disbelief.
After taking a solid punch from her, this guy was actually fine?
There was also a force that made her chest feel a little stuffy. How was this guy still at the Body Refinement realm?
Although it was still inferior to her, it was already extremely exaggerated. This kind of strength could probably already fight against weaker Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It seemed that their master was not lying when he praised Jiang Li. This junior brother’s talent in body cultivation was really exaggerated.
“You’ve passed the test. Go back and pack your things. I’ll bring you out of the valley tomorrow.”
Senior Sister Mulan was an impatient person. After she finished making the arrangements, she planned to leave. This time, she had not returned purely to fetch Jiang Li.
She also needed to bring other late-stage Qi Refinement realm disciples to participate in a long-term mission to eliminate demons in another sect.
“Alright, Senior Sister. However, I still have one thing that I need your help with.”
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Jiang Li stopped her. His tattoo needed to be replaced as soon as possible.
As he spoke, Jiang Li revealed the extremely dim blood-colored tattoo on his back.
Senior Sister Liu Mulan immediately understood.
She first brought Jiang Li to the Demon Vanquishing Hall’s storehouse.
In the Demon Vanquishing Hall, there were still a few disciples who cultivated the Beast Blood Diagram.
The medicinal soup that was used to supplement the blood of beasts naturally could not be blended every time. The spiritual medicines had long been rationed and stored in the storehouse.
However, the cultivation of drawing the beast blood into his body was quite risky, especially for a newbie like Jiang Li. He needed someone to watch over him. Otherwise, it was very easy for accidents to happen.
Elder He was worried that Jiang Li would mess around and kill himself, so he did not give him the authority.
Although Jiang Li had already raised his Mind attribute once, so it should be easier to deal with it now.
After all, it was rare to face a ghost during the process. It was probably the karma of his predecessor who had done too many bad things that Jiang Li had such bad luck.
However, Elder He did not know where Jiang Li’s confidence lay. Coupled with the few disciples who had died because of this, he naturally would not let Jiang Li take the risk.
After taking the spiritual medicine, Senior Sister Mulan asked Jiang Li to light the fire and boil it himself. She took Elder He’s identity token and went to mobilize some people.
Jiang Li was horrible when it came to refining pills. Originally, he was afraid that he would make a mistake, but later on, he discovered that the refinement of this spiritual medicine was extremely simple. He just had to control the size of the flame and time the steps properly to throw the spiritual materials in. Everything would be fine so long as he followed the procedures.
That night, after the spiritual medicine was successfully boiled, Jiang Li carried out the third beast blood infusion under Senior Sister Mulan’s care.
As for beast blood materials, he was not lacking either. Some time ago, Elder He had caught ten demon beasts that had almost reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment realm for him. After he killed them, the heart and blood essence were stored in an ice box.
Thus, he had many choices.
Different demon beasts had different characteristics and specialties, and they could also help Jiang Li in different aspects.
Jiang Li was good in strength, physique, and speed. Hmm… it seemed that every aspect was not an issue.
The only weakness he had as a body cultivator was the inability to move rapidly around a small area.
In the end, between the two choices of increasing his strength or covering weaknesses, Jiang Li chose the latter.
This time, nothing unexpected happened. The Lunar Bear blood tattoo completely disappeared, and a brand new tattoo appeared.
What appeared on Jiang Li’s back was a slender and robust vine-tailed leopard.
The nimbleness and reaction speed of this feline demon beast was extremely exaggerated. At that time, it caused Jiang Li quite a bit of trouble, and he hoped that after he obtained its strength, it would be able to assist his movement speed.
The next morning, Jiang Li boarded the Demon Vanquishing Hall’s warship.
He only carried a small bag to hide the truth from others. All of the other useful things were stored in the spacious coffin.
With spatial equipment, traveling away from home was convenient and fast.
This time, there were more than 30 late-stage Qi Refinement realm disciples with them, and he had fought most of them before.
However, they did not feel awkward when they met. Instead, they greeted each other with familiarity.
The flying ship rose into the air, accelerating in a certain direction.
According to Senior Sister Liu Mulan, for some reason, there were frequent demon attacks in the countries in the north of the Great Mountain Region. The commoners suffered heavy casualties, and it was at the stage where one zombie would emerge from every ten corpses buried.
In a few regions, the demons had gathered in large numbers, forming a substantial force.
The sect was worried that if they left it alone, there would be great dangers like zombie kings and demon kings appearing.
Thus, they were going to eliminate these hidden dangers and eliminate demons.
This region was very far from the sect. It was just that the four major sects of the Great Mountain Region were in charge of the four directions respectively. If anything happened, they could order the nearby small sects to be summoned, but they had to express their stance.
Jiang Li stayed on the flying ship for about five days before he finally felt the speed decrease.
The flying ship slowly landed on a mountaintop. There was a brand new house there. It should be the temporary residence of the sect.
However, when Jiang Li stood by the window and looked down, he saw a patch of lingering Yin qi enveloping a rather vast area nearby.
“Is this the sign of a kingdom’s demise?” Jiang Li was a little uncertain.
According to the ancient books of Feng Shui, this dense Yin qi could only be seen when a country was on the verge of destruction or even after a country was destroyed.
In that case, his first demon suppression mission might last for a long time.
“Don’t wander around at night. Three Qi Refinement realm disciples will act together. Jiang Li, follow me tomorrow.”
After splitting up, the disciples each found a room to rest.
Senior Sister Liu Mulan originally wanted to take care of this junior brother of hers, Jiang Li, and let him stay next door.
However, Jiang Li tactfully rejected. He found a room at the edge of the temporary base and stayed there.
He had to do many things in secret every day, but he did not really want a senior sister in the Foundation Establishment realm to care about his life every day.
It would be terrible if something happened at night.
After all, the other party was his senior sister. It was impolite to resist, but if he did not resist, it would appear that he was not reserved enough.
Therefore, it was safer to maintain a distance.
At night, Jiang Li secretly left his room. After avoiding the cultivator on duty, he agilely entered the forest in the mountain.
After running far away and confirming that there was no one around, Jiang Li took out the Yin Burial Coffin and threw it on the ground.
