Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit - Chapter 381

Chapter 381 – Monster Attack

In order to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm, Blood Condensing Pellets were required. However, without any support, it was almost impossible for cultivators to find their own Blood Condensing Pellets.

Hence, in his third year on Huang Li Island, Wang Qi began to look for cultivation resources in the monster sea. He hoped to gather enough cultivation resources to exchange for some Blood Condensing Pellets.

Due to the island’s strategic location, it had become the central attraction to many Blood Condensation Realm cultivators. Not only were humans here to hunt in the monster sea, the monsters were also actively fighting back.

As a result, a large number of fights took place around the island at all times regardless of day or night. As the Blood Condensation Realm cultivators fought aggressively for resources, with the Enlightened Masters stepping in when the situation escalated, the Blood Refining Realm disciples struggled to make a living while trying to survive the perilous situation.

The risk of traveling was high even to Enlightened Masters, so Blood Refining Realm cultivators usually operated in groups. Naturally, only Blood Refining Realm disciples with death wishes would leave the island.

Wang Qi’s biggest reliance was his excellent swordsmanship and consolidated cultivation, while his motivation came from recent news from Master Immortal Fang Tao.

According to Master Immortal Fang Tao, Enlightened Master Lu Xuan-Ping had concocted a batch of Blood Condensing Pellets for the sect before he entered closed-door cultivation. As a result of his superior alchemy, Enlightened Master Lu Xuan-Ping had some pills left over after meeting the sect’s target. These pills were handed over to Enlightened Master Hu Lili to manage.

Hence, if Wang Qi was able to save up enough cultivation resources, Master Immortal Fang Tao would help him obtain a chance to exchange these resources for the pellets.

Ever since, Wang Qi had begun planning. Even though there were three spiritual fields under his assignment, along with his personal savings, these were still not enough for a Blood Condensing Pellet. Hence, he set his eyes on the cultivation resources in the sea.

Naturally, Wang Qi didn’t dare to go too far away from the island and only hunted close to the island where lesser Blood Condensation Realm monsters were. Additionally, whenever he noticed there were Blood Condensation Realm monsters in the area, he would take no chances and immediately retreat back to the island.

There were two occasions that he actually encountered, and was chased by, Blood Condensation Realm monsters. But because he was close to the island, he was always able to reach safety and be rescued by the sect’s patrolling Blood Condensation Realm disciples.

After a few times of heading out to the sea, the brave and young Blood Refining Realm disciple who hunted alone slowly made a name for himself on Huang Li Island.

Today, Wang Qi was out hunting again. Using the element of surprise, he managed to kill two Peak Blood Refining Realm monsters on his own. After dissecting the monsters for their valuable body parts, he smiled happily and calculated the cultivation resources he had accumulated so far, wondering if they were enough to exchange for two Blood Condensing Pellets.

Wang Qi didn’t think that just one Blood Condensing Pellet would be enough for his breakthrough, so he wanted to be safe and exchange for two pellets instead.

While Wang Qi was thinking about his resources, he noticed several lights shooting across the sky and landing on Huang Li Island.

Wang Qi immediately knew something was up, and suddenly heard a shout from afar, “Junior Brother Wang Qi, is that you?”

Wang Qi looked back and saw two glowing figures heading towards Huang Li Island. The figures were Master Immortal Fang Wei and Master Immortal Fang Xia, who had saved him from the Blood Condensation Realm monsters before. They were also Master Immortal Fang Tao’s son and daughter.

Before leaving the island today, Wang Qi saw the two Master Immortals also heading out to hunt in the monster sea. But now, they seemed to be rushing back to the island.

Master Immortal Fang Wei shouted again, “Junior Brother Wang, return at once, the monster race is attacking, a tide is coming!”

As he finished speaking, Fang Wei was already beside Wang Qi. Suddenly, a black shadow leaped out from the sea surface and lunged at Fang Wei’s back without him noticing. However, Wang Qi saw it clearly, it was a Blood Condensation Realm fish monster!

If the ambush was successful, Fang Wei would be severely injured or even killed!

Seeing that it was too late to warn Fang Wei and too slow for Fang Wei to turn around and defend himself, Wang Qi clenched his teeth and acted decisively.

He cast a mid-grade flying sword mystic instrument that he had exchanged from Master Immortal Fang Tao and sent it out with his full force.

Bang—

“Argh—!”

Amidst Fang Wei’s shock, Wang Qi fell towards the sea while a painful shriek sounded behind him. Fang Wei quickly realized what happened and swiftly turned around to kill the fish monster, who had been severely injured by Wang Qi’s attack.

When Fang Wei turned back around, Fang Xia had already scooped Wang Qi up from the sea surface. He looked at the pale Wang Qi, who couldn’t even hold himself upright anymore, and laughed, “Junior Brother Wang, I didn’t expect you to be this strong already. I wonder who will be your match when you break through to the Blood Condensation Realm.”

Wang Qi barely forced out a smile in response, he didn’t even have the energy to say anything.

By the time the three of them returned to Huang Li Island, the island’s protective formation was already operating at full power. Their disciple tokens shone with a flash of light and they were granted access to enter the formation.

However, as soon as they entered the island, they heard shouts and cries of battle. They were all shocked, wondering if the monsters had already infiltrated the island.

In fact, this wasn’t the first time the monsters attacked Huang Li Island. However, during the previous attempts, Huang Li Island was always able to firmly defend, lasting long enough for reinforcements to arrive through the teleportation formation

After a couple times, Huang Li Island gained the reputation of being unbreakable. On the contrary, the frequent monster attacks often resulted in heavy monster casualties, translating to a huge wealth for the cultivators on the island.

Hence, every time there was a monster attack, there would also be a swarm of cultivators rushing to the island to reap the most benefits from the monster tide.

However, it was clearly different this time.

Just as the monster tide was being reported, a loud explosion occurred from the direction of the teleportation formation. Then, a fight broke out on the island before the monster tide could arrive.

The instant the explosion was set off, Chen Lian saw what happened with his divine revelation. A group of cultivators ambushed the Zhen Ling Sect disciples guarding the teleportation formation and destroyed it.

This completely cut off the island from the outside world, but at the same time, the group of evil cultivators were also trapped on the island with nowhere to run.

When Chen Lian arrived at the scene, the evil cultivators were already surrounded and trapped in the center. The other cultivators were happy to see him, while the evil cultivators became more desperate with their attacks.

Chen Lian sneered coldly, flicking his fingers and shooting out a series of fireballs that exploded beneath the evil cultivators. The explosions blasted the evil cultivators into the air, and after falling back to the ground, they fell unconscious.

Another light landed at the scene, it was Hu Lili.

“What’s the situation?” 6444

Chen Lian pulled back his hand from the forehead of one of the evil cultivators. His face was cold as ice as he said, “Mind seals, they are slaves.”

Hu Lili immediately understood the situation, and exclaimed in shock, “Not good! They must be human pets from the monster race, they’re here because of the monster tide.”

Chen Lian also realized the situation, “This is bad, if they came prepared this time, this won’t be the end of things.”

Suddenly, a mini tsunami occurred outside of Huang Li Island, growing higher and higher as it drew closer to the island. In just a few moments, it was already a few hundred
