Chapter Thirty: The Might of Qingmu

  The Blood Hand Ancestor in the distance sensed the aura of White Bone Demoness and turned his head to take a glance, just in time to see White Bone Demoness fall to the ground. His face suddenly changed color, he retreated back, flashed ten zhang away, and his face flickered with a hint of surprise.

  "How is this possible, Blood Moon has already entered the late stage of the Golden Elixir realm!" At the same time, the Blood Hand Ancestor felt the terrifying aura emanating from Blood Moon's body, and his face flashed with a shocked expression.

  To know that the later the cultivation, the slower the speed, he and Baigu Muniya have been stuck in the middle of Jindan for a long time, otherwise they would not take risks to rob Xian Dan.

  The Blood Hand Sect's master retreated with a flash of his body, Qingmu Zhenren's expression remained calm and serene as he hovered in mid-air, not pursuing. In the distance, the Blood Moon's outer aura flickered with red light, turned around and looked over.

  "Ha ha......, got a golden elixir, Qingmu your luck is really not bad" Xueyue said with a smile, while tossing the Golden Elixir of White Bone Demon Maiden in his hand.

  Then his right hand shook, a flash of golden light, the golden elixir in his hand had turned into a golden thread flying towards Qingmu. Qingmu's expression remained calm, his left hand rolled up his sleeve and swept the incoming golden elixir inside.

  "Aoki, what are you waiting for? Are you going to let this great golden elixir slip away?" Xue Yue said, her gaze shifting towards the direction of Xue Shou Zun.

  Being stared at by Blood Moon, the Blood Hand Venerable felt a chill run down his spine, and an ominous feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. "This is not good, I'm already no match for one Cyan Wood, now that Blood Moon has also made her move, what should I do?" The Blood Hand Venerable's mind was filled with anxiety.

  Aoki Shinichi is a Kintama Dairin Master, his strength is not to be underestimated, the previous exchange clearly did not show off all of his abilities, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

  In his heart, he suddenly turned anxious, and the Blood Hand Sect Master knew that this time it was absolutely impossible to escape. His face sank, and he made a decision. He swept his gaze over Qingmu Zhenren and Xuemeng, and said in a deep voice: "Qingmu, Xuemeng, we have no grudges between us. Today, I was blinded by my own desires for the Sect Master's elixir. Please, both of you, show mercy."

  As a mid-term Golden Elixir cultivator at the peak, Xue Shou Zun was proud and arrogant. Being able to speak in such a low tone and humble manner obviously required great determination.

  "Heh heh, I'll let you off this time, but I want something from you in return." Aoki Makoto's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he stared at Blood Hand.

  The Blood Moon beside him flashed a red light shield, but didn't speak, though his eyes had a hint of playfulness. The Blood Hand Venerable heard this and his gaze flickered, asking: "What do you want, Qingmu True Person, just say it."

  "Give me your Golden Elixir." A calm voice came out of Qingmu Zhenren's mouth, as if it was a trivial matter.

  However, upon hearing Aoki's demand, the Blood Hand Hermit's face turned red with rage, his eyes flashing fiercely as he glared at Aoki and said, "It seems you have no intention of letting me go."

  The Golden Elixir is the foundation of Blood Hand's power, losing it means he has nothing left, and whether he can keep his life is uncertain, so Qingmu True Person's request is simply forcing him to take a desperate path.

  "I never intended to let you off, and with the help of Blood Moon, I just refined a Golden Elixir. The time is almost ripe, so come and experience the power of my Seven Elixirs Formula!" As soon as Qingmu True Person's voice fell, a shocking surge of spiritual energy suddenly burst forth from his body, instantly transforming into a storm of spiritual energy that swept across the entire Blood Valley.

  At this moment, only the true person Qingmu's eyes had a faint golden light like stars appearing in his pupils, setting him off like a star god in the sky.

  "Seven Dan Scripture! You actually cultivated the evil Seven Dan Scripture!" Upon hearing that Qingmu True Person had cultivated the Seven Dan Scripture, Blood Hand Venerable's face revealed shock and horror, feeling the astonishing spiritual power emanating from Qingmu True Person at this moment, his complexion turned pale.

  The Seven Dan Scripture is a forbidden technique in the Xianxia world, cruel and unorthodox. Once someone starts cultivating it, a bloody storm will inevitably erupt among Golden Dan practitioners.

  The Seven Dan Jue, as the name suggests, is to condense seven golden elixirs in the body, allowing one's spiritual power and cultivation to increase several times. Generally, ordinary cultivators do not have a rare opportunity to condense a second golden elixir within their bodies. Therefore, if one wants to cultivate the Seven Dan Jue, the most direct method is to plunder the golden elixirs of other Golden Elixir stage cultivators, and then use secret techniques to refine them in order to achieve the goal of cultivation.

  Aoki Makoto last time in Qianfeng Ridge obtained the Soul Demon's Golden Elixir, and with the help of the Soul Demon's Golden Elixir, successfully cultivated the first layer of the Seven Dan Scripture, greatly increasing his spiritual energy. Originally already at the late stage of the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm, after the surge in spiritual energy, he reached an astonishing level that shocked the world.

  "Gagaga……, as expected of the Seven Dan Jue, to have such powerful spiritual energy at just the first layer, the Golden Elixir of the Soul Demon is indeed extraordinary!" The Blood Moon in the distance flashed and retreated to the edge of the seal, letting out a sharp cry.

  A sense of extreme danger surged in his heart, and he wanted to dodge, but was already enveloped by a terrifying aura, with no place to hide.

  "Bastard, Qingmu! I have the Blood River Pearl, I'm not afraid of you!" A loud roar burst out from the Blood Hand Ancestor's mouth, and in an instant, he raised his hands, pointing at the red orb on his head. A thick and powerful spiritual energy shot out from his hands, instantly merging into the orb, causing the Blood River Pearl to emit a light that was ten times stronger than before, completely enveloping the Blood Hand Ancestor's body within it.

  Then countless red palm prints flew out from the body of Blood Hand Respected One, these palm prints gathered together in mid-air and formed a huge blood-red palm print that enveloped him inside.

  Then a burst of light flashed by, and several objects flew out from his body. The spiritual light flashed continuously, and these objects all surrounded him, spinning around his body.

  Among these things, there was a jade Ruyi, a jade pendant, a black spiritual staff, a pitch-black tiger head carving, and a gold-colored square brick. All of these items emitted powerful spiritual energy and were the mighty magical instruments collected by Blood Hand over the years. At this moment, when Fang Yi released them, they surrounded him in the center.

  Kong Zhong Qingmu's gaze swept downward, catching sight of the preparations made by Xue Shou Zun. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he casually tossed the long sword in his hand.

  A blue long sword flew into the air, its surface flashing with a hint of spiritual light. A pleasant humming noise came from the sword, and then Qingmu's right hand plucked it once. A stream of spiritual energy shot into the blue long sword and disappeared. Suddenly, the sword's cyan glow surged greatly on top of his head, beginning to transform.

  Sword lights emerged one after another, and in just a single breath of time, hundreds of sword lights had already appeared in the air, all emitting a sharp aura.

  Then, Aoki's gaze condensed, his right hand grasped the air, and hundreds of sword lights on top of his head suddenly merged into the center, instantly condensing into a giant sword ten feet long. The cyan light enveloped the giant sword, and an astonishing aura burst out.

  "Cut!" A light drink came from Qingmu's mouth, his right hand raised casually, and he cut down the Blood Hand Venerable below. In an instant, the giant sword's light burst out, descending from the sky.

  The giant sword moved at an incredible speed, instantly slashing onto the blood-red handprint on the Blood Hand's head. The seemingly indestructible blood-red handprint didn't even last a breath under the giant sword and was destroyed in one slash.

  At the same time that the red blood handprint was extinguished, the Blood Hand Ancestor's face changed color, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and his complexion became extremely unsightly.

  Then the giant sword in the air collided with the light shield released by the Blood River Pearl, and saw that the blood-red light shield flashed violently, and the blue giant sword was completely trapped inside. In an instant, only a faint "crackling" sound was heard, and cracks began to appear on the surface of the Blood River Pearl floating above the head of the Blood Hand Venerable, followed by a loud explosion.

  "It's impossible, how could the Blood River Pearl...!" The moment the Blood River Pearl was shattered, the Blood Hand Ancestor couldn't help but let out a terrified scream. Immediately after, the red light shield outside his body flashed and disappeared, and the blue light shield continued to slash down. The several demonic auras surrounding the Blood Hand Ancestor's body released intense spiritual lights, but they all failed to last long before shattering apart.

  "Rumble!" A loud noise came, the entire Blood Valley trembled, and a circle of red giant waves churned in the Blood Lake, crashing against the shore and splashing up pieces of red blood beads.

  The ground was littered with scattered rocks, white bones shattered everywhere. A gruesome slash mark over twenty zhang long appeared at the bottom of Blood Valley, the slash mark was about one zhang wide, inside it was dark and gloomy, no one knew how deep it was. At this time, the Blood Hand Ancestor had already disappeared without a trace.

  Aoki Shinjin's cold gaze swept across the slash wound, and the astonishing spiritual pressure on his body slowly receded. A hint of a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The giant green sword had vanished, and from the slash wound below, a green longsword flew out, flashing as it was retrieved by Aoki Shinjin. Next, in mid-air, Aoki Shinjin's right hand took on a claw-like shape, and he grasped at the slash wound below. From the wound, a mass of green energy emerged, and within the green light, a golden elixir the size of an egg hovered unsteadily - it was the Golden Elixir of the Blood Hand Respected One.

  "Ha ha......, Qingmu, your luck is really good today, you got two golden elixirs at once, it won't take long for the Seven Elixir Technique to be minorly successful, right?" As he watched Qingmu Zhenren put away the golden elixir of Xue Shou Zun, a flash of light appeared outside his body and he was already standing beside Qingmu Zhenren.

  "This trip to the Blood Moon Sect was indeed worthwhile, not only did I refine the Golden Elixir of the Soul Demon, but I also obtained two more Golden Elixirs. By the way, have you found out anything about that Immortal Pill?" Qingmu True Person asked with a change in his tone.

  "Not even a hint of a clue, I've secretly searched through all the ancient tomes of our sect, no leads whatsoever. Do you think we should take a risk and try it?" Blood Moon's tone was heavy with solemnity as she made the suggestion.

  "Of course, we can't take that risk. However, since you have two and I have one, it's possible to bring out one for a try. You handle this matter yourself, aren't there many hidden old antiques? I think they'll definitely be very interested." Qingmu Zhenren said with a chill in his eyes.

  "Haha, I've had this intention for a long time, and after all these years, my plan is almost ready. Your Seven Dan Jue has also started to cultivate, and it's time for me to take action."

  "Hmm, you handle it yourself. With such a big commotion happening here today, it's hard to guarantee that others won't be alerted. I've already told you everything, so I'll leave first. The rest is up to you to deal with," said Aoki Makoto, and with a flutter, he flew out of the valley. As he approached the Blood Valley Seal, the seal suddenly split open to both sides, revealing a gap. Aoki Makoto flashed into the gap and disappeared from sight.

  After Aoki disappeared, the cracks on the seal closed quickly and returned to normal in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

  Blood Moon's gaze shifted, and he looked at the Blood Valley which had undergone a drastic change. With a wave of his right hand, a surge of energy was released, forming a violent storm that swept across the entire valley in an instant, transforming it completely. Then, with a flash of movement, he flew back to the stone platform at the center of the Blood Lake, sat down cross-legged, and was surrounded by swirling red mist, as if nothing had happened before.
