“Thank you, Sect Master, for saving us. Otherwise, we would have perished here today,” Mr. Mo and the others hurriedly stepped forward to express their gratitude.
Fang Ling nodded slightly and asked for more details.
When he arrived at the Qi Tian Cave Mansion, there was actually no one outside.
He thought the people from Xuantian Hall had chased them inside, but now it seemed they had retreated directly.
After all, the reputation of Qi Tian Cave Mansion was well-known in the Blood Marsh.
They assumed that the group of cultivators from the South Sun Kingdom would never come out once they entered.
Then, he led eight hundred elite soldiers to explore the Qi Tian Cave Mansion.
Sure enough, this was the hidden residence of the Blood Demon Ancestor. In a stone chamber, he found the Blood Demon Ancestor’s journal.
The blood beast he had just slain was left behind to guard the cave mansion.
The Blood Demon Ancestor was a monster who had lived for ten thousand years. Although his cultivation level was not top-notch, he had learned a lot.
He carefully examined the Blood Demon Ancestor’s journal and found some very interesting things.
He looked at the potted plant on the table and clicked his tongue in wonder.
“What a marvelous Blood Spiritual Flower, it can actually enhance the bloodline quality of demon spirits!”
According to the journal, the Blood Demon Ancestor had discovered it by chance in a valley when he was young.
This flower was extremely rare and was an invaluable treasure for demons.
After picking it, the Blood Demon Ancestor used mystical plant techniques to transplant it into a pot and cultivated it diligently every day.
He originally planned to select the most powerful blood beast to refine this Blood Spiritual Flower and become the Beast King.
Unfortunately, he was too greedy and kept delaying, wanting to wait until the flower matured even more.
As a result, this Blood Spiritual Flower, now rich in medicinal power, became a gift for Fang Ling.
Beside him, the Nether Beast stared intently at the Blood Spiritual Flower on the table.
But it didn’t dare to act rashly and could only forcibly suppress its inner urge.
The flower was useless to Fang Ling, so he picked it and casually tossed it to the Nether Beast lying nearby.
“In recognition of your diligent service since your submission, I bestow this opportunity upon you,” he said indifferently.
The Nether Beast was overjoyed and immediately approached, rubbing against Fang Ling affectionately to express its gratitude.
“Alright, hurry up and refine it!” He patted its head and said.
“This will also help you recover from your injuries immediately.”
The Nether Beast let out a low growl, swallowed the Blood Spiritual Flower in one gulp, and then curled up in a corner.
At this moment, Mr. Mo walked in and reported, “Sect Master! We have discovered a strange place deep within the cave!”
Fang Ling immediately followed him to the depths of the cave.
There seemed to be something hidden here, covered by a formation.
Fang Ling believed that what was hidden here was the other thing he had seen in the journal.
He immediately broke the formation, and a pungent smell of blood surged out.
Everyone looked ahead and saw blood-colored crystals standing on the ground.
“What are these?” Even Mr. Mo, with his vast knowledge, couldn’t recognize these blood crystals.
Fang Ling, however, smiled slightly and said, “These are the magic crystals that the Blood Demon Ancestor spent ten thousand years accumulating!”
“These blood-colored magic crystals are made from precious metals, high-quality spiritual herbs, a large number of spirit stones, and the blood of demons, all refined through secret techniques.”
“The Blood Demon Ancestor was very stingy.”
“He has lived for ten thousand years and has little lifespan left.”
“But he didn’t want his grave to be desecrated after his death, so he prepared these magic crystals in advance.”
“If these magic crystals are combined with corpses, they can create an army of mindless magic soldiers that only follow orders!”
“These magic soldiers will have extremely strong defense and attack power and will be utterly loyal, serving as his tomb guardians.”
“But these magic crystals can be used by the living as well.”
“I will now teach you the method of refining them. Each of you can take some magic crystals and refine them here!”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Mo quickly said, “Sect Master, this is absolutely unacceptable!”
“Since the magic crystals can enhance strength, you should use them yourself! Don’t waste them on us.”
“That’s right! We haven’t done anything to deserve such a reward,” Feng Feiyan also spoke up.
Fang Ling said calmly, “The energy of the magic crystals is too mixed; they would do me more harm than good. But for you, they are just right.”
“Take what I give you without worry. The stronger you are, the more you can help me.”
“Then thank you, Sect Master, for your generosity!” Mr. Mo no longer hesitated and immediately led the eight hundred elite soldiers inside.
In no time, everyone received a portion of the magic crystals according to their cultivation levels.
Fang Ling then taught them the secret method of refining, and everyone began refining on the spot.
Fang Ling himself did not remain idle; he moved to the front and began cultivating.
Layers of spirit stones were spread out under his feet. After slaughtering Boundless City, his pockets were already full.
Since descending the mountain, he had undergone many trials and felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Now that he had time, he decided to give it a try.
A massive amount of spirit stones turned to dust in an instant. Although the Chaos Sacred Body was incredibly powerful, the resources required for cultivation were staggering.
After an unknown amount of time, when half of the spirit stones in his storage ring were exhausted, he finally broke through the barrier and advanced to the mid-stage of the Megrez Realm.
The breakthrough in his realm significantly boosted his strength.
All the divine powers he had learned were top-tier in the world.
As his realm improved, the power of these divine powers increased exponentially.
He got up and walked to where the followers were refining the magic crystals.
Some of them had already completed the refinement, and their auras had deepened significantly, their improvements more than just marginal.
However, they had also undergone some changes; their eyes all glowed red, and their skin had turned a light purple.
“These magic crystals are too powerful. I was originally at the Great Perfection of the Dubhe Realm, and now I’ve directly advanced to the Great Perfection of the Merak Realm!”
“Not only that, but have you noticed? Our physical strength has become exaggerated, almost like a magical artifact.”
“Yes! Yes! It’s like we’ve been reborn!”
“We can never repay the Sect Master’s kindness.”
“We are willing to be your loyal warriors!” Everyone knelt on one knee and swore an oath.
In the brutal world of cultivation, even close relatives could turn against each other for cultivation resources.
But now, they were fortunate enough to receive such an opportunity, and Fang Ling had elevated them to heights they could never have imagined in their lifetimes.
Others also gradually completed their refinement, each one excited and overwhelmed with emotion.
Finally, Mr. Mo and Feng Feiyan also finished their refinement.
The magic crystals they received were naturally more than the others, and their cultivation levels had greatly improved.
Feng Feiyan advanced from the mid-stage of the Phecda Realm to the late stage of the Megrez Realm.
Mr. Mo advanced from the late stage of the Phecda Realm to the Great Perfection of the Megrez Realm.
In terms of realm alone, the two of them had already surpassed Fang Ling.
The effects of these magic crystals far exceeded Fang Ling’s expectations.
Now, these eight hundred elite soldiers had generally reached the Great Perfection of the Merak Realm.
Among them, more than a hundred had reached the Phecda Realm.
Coupled with the leadership of Mr. Mo and Feng Feiyan.
These eight hundred magic soldiers had truly become a formidable force!
