Chapter 101: Making a Fortune

"Master, what is wrong?"

Ye Lingyun was stunned.

Usually, no matter what happened, Master always maintained a calm and composed tone.

It was as if nothing could stump her, nor could anything cause her emotions to fluctuate.

This was the first time he had heard such anger in Master's voice.

Hearing Ye Lingyun's inquiry.

The woman fell silent.

After a good while, her voice came out again, "It is nothing."

Ye Lingyun opened his mouth.

He always felt that something must have happened to Master.

But he respected Master.

Master had appeared since he was a youth.

The magnitude of her help to him was beyond doubt.

If not for Master's appearance, he did not know how many times he would have already died.

Nor would he have today.

Master's grace toward him was like a rebirth.

His respect for Master was like that for his own mother.

Since Master did not want to say, he did not continue to press the matter.

Just at this moment, the woman's voice came out from the ring again.

"Lingyun, you cannot return to the Hehuan Sect."

"The technique you previously obtained in the Blazing Valley of the Hehuan Sect is quite extraordinary."

"Relying on that technique, you only need to continuously absorb spiritual fire to keep raising your cultivation and transform your constitution into a fire-type Spirit Body."

"I happen to know a place that nurtures spiritual fire."

Hearing Master's words, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Ye Lingyun's face.

Following Master's instructions, he flew toward that place that nurtured spiritual fire.

The Underground World.

Mu Lingxi and Wang Yu Yao arrived behind Wang Jianqiang.

The gazes the two women directed at Wang Jianqiang were both somewhat strange.

Wang Jianqiang did not change his expression, "I am not trying to take advantage of her because she is pretty; I just wanted to confirm if she was the real body."

After speaking, he pressed his palms together, and his ten fingers formed several hand seals.

The dozens of small flags that had transformed into the Forbidden Array immediately manifested and were put away by him.

With this Forbidden Array.

Unless someone had physical strength greater than his, he feared no one below the Nascent Soul Stage.

It was just that this Formation had no effect of trapping enemies; it needed to be used in coordination with a Trapping Array to exert its maximum power.

He still had to find a way to obtain a Trapping Array.

Afterward, the three of them waited in place for a period of time, and the power of the World Suppressing Array was finally exhausted.

The three did not leave directly, but walked toward the deepest part of this Underground World.

When the three arrived at the end of this Underground World.

A blood-colored lake with a diameter exceeding a thousand zhang appeared in the sight of the three.

Seeing this blood-colored lake.

Mu Lingxi and Wang Yu Yao changed color simultaneously.

This lake was actually formed from fresh blood!

To form a lake this large, a million people would likely be far from enough.

Just how much slaughter had this Ye family committed!

"This Ye family is simply more brutal than the people of the Demonic Sect."

Wang Jianqiang cursed righteously, then walked straight to the edge of the blood lake.

He formed a few hand seals and struck a strand of Spiritual Power into the blood-colored lake.

A large amount of blood energy immediately floated out from the vast blood-colored water surface and condensed toward the sky above.

"This is?"

Seeing this, the two women looked at Wang Jianqiang in confusion.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"This is the method of refining Blood Pills from the Blood Sacrifice Technique."

"The blood energy here is so dense; it would be too wasteful if left ignored."

Hearing this, the two women were speechless.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang could not help but cough dryly, "I am not like that old fellow Ye Zhenshan; this is just something I am doing while I am at it."

"I was actually also very heartbroken after seeing this lake of blood."

"Stop talking, the corners of your mouth are about to split to your ears," Mu Lingxi curled her lips.

"Ah? Is that so?"

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly tidied up his appearance.

It is no wonder he is excited.

The blood energy here is truly too dense.

Although he disdains using Blood Pills for cultivation.

That does not mean everyone else does not want to use Blood Pills for cultivation.

There are many Cultivators who are unable to break through to the Golden Core Stage.

For those people, Blood Pills are treasures that can help them break through and extend their lives, more precious than anything else.

For the sake of Blood Pills, they can give up everything.

If all the blood in the entire lake of blood were refined into Blood Pills, the value would be immeasurable!

Wang Jianqiang's refining of the Blood Pills continued for ten days.

Ten days later.

The blood in the blood lake was completely exhausted, and Wang Jianqiang had obtained a full fifty Blood Pills.

Each Blood Pill contained astonishing blood energy sufficient to allow a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator to reach the Golden Core Stage.

"I've struck it rich!"

Wang Jianqiang happily put away the Blood Pills and inadvertently glanced at the now-dried-up lake.

He discovered that there were over a hundred Blood Cocoons at the bottom of the lake.

The vast majority of these Blood Cocoons were already shattered, with only five remaining intact.

When Wang Jianqiang saw the Blood Cocoons at the bottom of the lake, Mu Lingxi and Wang Yu Yao noticed Wang Jianqiang's gaze and looked over as well.

Upon seeing the Blood Cocoons, the two were stunned.

"What is that?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Let's go over and take a look."

After speaking, he flew out first.

A moment later, he arrived beside an intact Blood Cocoon.

He tapped his palm lightly on the Blood Cocoon.

Crack!

The Blood Cocoon was unexpectedly fragile.

With just a light tap, it shattered completely.

The next moment, the outer skin of the Blood Cocoon peeled away, and an unconscious figure was revealed from within.

This was a middle-aged man.

He had no clothing on his body, his skin was deathly pale, his blood energy had weakened to the extreme, and his vitality had reached the verge of dissipation.

"I know this person."

Seeing this middle-aged man, Wang Yu Yao spoke up, "His name is Lin Tao, and he is a rather famous Disciple of the Inner Sect."

"Lin Tao?" Mu Lingxi's expression shifted, "Before us, didn't three groups of people accept the mission for Black Water City? The leader of the third group seemed to be named Lin Tao."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang's eyes flashed, and he shattered the remaining four Blood Cocoons.

After the four Blood Cocoons shattered, three men and one woman tumbled out from them.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze skipped directly over the three men and landed on the woman.

This woman who tumbled out of the Blood Cocoon was none other than Su Yutong.

Wang Jianqiang scrutinized Su Yutong for a moment, suddenly raised an eyebrow, and walked to Su Yutong's side.

He reached out to probe her, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"As expected of one of the former Outer Sect Three Beauties, she is indeed well-endowed."

As Wang Jianqiang became increasingly excessive.

Su Yutong suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of shame and anger.

"What? Don't you like to pretend to be unconscious? Keep pretending, why don't you?"

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Don't look at me like that; I am your savior, after all. Is it too much to collect a little interest?"

Su Yutong glared at Wang Jianqiang, "You are using your kindness to extort me."

Wang Jianqiang curled his lip, "That's right. I'm not your father, so why should I save you unconditionally?"

Su Yutong's expression froze.

Wang Jianqiang chuckled and continued, "Just tell me whether you want to repay the favor or not. If you don't want to repay the favor, I might as well stuff you back in."

Su Yutong's expression shifted rapidly.

That Blood Cocoon was no place to stay.

As long as the Blood Sacrifice Array here was not removed, once she was stuffed back into a Blood Cocoon.

The remaining blood energy in her body would be completely sucked dry, and she would eventually end up like the people in the shattered Blood Cocoons, turning into a pool of blood and flowing into the lake of blood.

Thinking of this, she finally recognized the reality.

"Fine, I will repay you."

As she spoke, she looked at Mu Lingxi and Wang Yu Yao behind Wang Jianqiang and pleaded, "Can we not do it here?"

"That's fine, but you must swear upon your Dao Heart," Wang Jianqiang said.

Upon hearing this, Su Yutong gritted her teeth and swore upon her Dao Heart according to Wang Jianqiang's request.

Seeing her finish the oath, Wang Jianqiang laughed.

A cultivator's oath cannot be made lightly.

Especially when swearing upon one's Dao Heart.

Once broken, it will inevitably form an Inner Demon, and the consequences are very serious.

Therefore, he was not worried that Su Yutong would go back on her word.

He stood up and looked at Wang Yu Yao, "Give her some clothes."

Wang Yu Yao nodded and casually tossed a piece of clothing to her.

"Can you move? Do you need me to help you put it on?"

"No need." Su Yutong was startled, struggled to climb up from the ground, and looked at Wang Jianqiang with some embarrassment, "Could you~ could you turn away for a moment?"

"No."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, his eyes actually widening even further.
