Chapter 212 The Guide and the Whale Fisher
In the gloomy ruins of the Blood God Cult, Yu Qingtan continued to use the Blood Escape Technique over the Blood Sea.
Because she was not yet proficient, her speed using the Blood Escape Technique wasn't fast. The Blood Escape Technique consumes blood, but Yu Qingtan's body's blood-producing function fully supported the consumption of the technique.
Along the way, Yu Qingtan had killed more Blood Demons, including two of the Third Stage, and besides the two Third Stage Blood Demon Cores, she had obtained some spells, such as the Third Stage Blood Arrow Technique and Third Stage Blood Shield Technique.
However, Yu Qingtan didn't learn them; she was not skilled in the Blood Dao, nor did she have the intention to switch to cultivating it.
Neither the Blood Sword Technique nor the Blood Escape Technique had yet reached a minor level of achievement.
"I really miss the days when I could just cheat to learn spells!"
Yu Qingtan thought of the Spell Upgrade Card, but unfortunately, the system store was one Immortal Body Activation Card short of an update.
At that moment, Yu Qingtan's Divine Sense detected a small boat ahead on the sea surface.
Yu Qingtan cautiously approached and saw a man in a black robe rowing. Feeling slightly relieved, she moved closer and saw that the black-robed man was not wearing a mask; he was a square-faced middle-aged man.
"Uncle, why are you rowing alone here?" Yu Qingtan asked in Xu Kexin's voice.
"I am The Guide; you may ask me three questions."
The middle-aged man smiled and directly revealed his identity.
"Uncle, which rule is a lie?" Yu Qingtan asked cleverly.
"I cannot say. You have two more questions," the middle-aged man replied with a sinister smile, speaking indifferently.
Yu Qingtan was frustrated, not expecting that he could just refuse to answer. After some thought, Yu Qingtan asked:
"What are the conditions for being selected for the cult leader's true teachings?"
"You must obtain the Blood God Order before the other four hundred and ninety-nine Golden Core Stage competitors."
This time, the middle-aged man answered Yu Qingtan's question readily. In other words, there were a total of five hundred Golden Core Cultivators competing for the true teachings of the Blood God Cult.
After asking another question and once again receiving a straightforward answer, Yu Qingtan bid the man goodbye, content, and continued towards the direction of the small island.
Less than half a day later, Yu Qingtan looked at the distant island, which had finally become noticeably larger, and let out a sigh of relief.
On her way, she encountered blood demons from the Sea Clan from time to time, a constant struggle, yet the rewards for slaying Blood Demons became increasingly sparse.
Aside from the Bloodline Tracking Technique and a low-grade precious Blood Knife, she had no other gains.
Fortunately, her Blood Sword Technique and Blood Escape Technique had finally reached a minor level of achievement.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As she was considering this, a huge gaping mouth burst out from the sea surface, bringing up a sky full of water splash, biting towards Yu Qingtan.
At the same time, a strong suction force came from the mouth to prevent Yu Qingtan from escaping.
"It's a late Third Stage Grayline Whale!"
Possibly due to the restrictions of rule eight, Yu Qingtan's Divine Sense couldn't probe the situation ten zhang under the water, and ten zhang was practically an instant for a Third Stage Blood Demon.
At the critical moment, Yu Qingtan brought Blood God Peak beneath her, and it expanded rapidly into a hill ten zhang high.
The Grayline Whale's wide-open mouth was five zhang wide, just large enough to bite onto Blood God Peak.
"Ao~"
The Grayline Whale released its jaws and retreated back into the sea, emitting a painful cry, as it seemed its mouth was badly hurt.
Then, a gigantic tail over ten zhang wide struck towards Yu Qingtan.
Yu Qingtan, along with Blood God Peak, was sent crashing towards the sea surface.
Even while clinging tightly to Blood God Peak, Yu Qingtan was shaken so badly by the immense force that her internal organs bled.
Yu Qingtan pocketed the Blood God Peak and, without any hesitation, used the Blood Escape Technique to flee towards the small island.
The Grayline Whale, due to its enormous size and strength far surpassing that of its peers, posed a significant challenge, making it rather difficult for Yu Qingtan, who could only use Blood Dao techniques, to overcome.
The Grayline Whale relentlessly pursued, its speed a fraction faster than Yu Qingtan's.
Seeing this, Yu Qingtan spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, combining it with the surrounding water vapor while simultaneously deploying both the Water Escape Technique and the Blood Escape Technique.
Her speed surged, barely dodging the Grayline Whale's second strike. Moreover, as nothing unexpected occurred, it seemed that this trickery didn't violate Rule Five.
Yu Qingtan continued to spit blood and flee desperately, while gaining a sudden insight, she began to integrate the circulation routes of spiritual power from both the Water Escape Technique and the Blood Escape Technique.
Finally, after spitting out more than a dozen mouthfuls of blood, Yu Qingtan successfully integrated the Blood Escape Technique into the Water Escape Technique.
Bloodwater Escape.
Her speed was ten percent faster than that of the mere Water Escape Technique and slightly quicker than the Grayline Whale.
Just as Yu Qingtan felt she was about to shake off the Grayline Whale, a thick white line suddenly flung down from the sky, with a hook on its end that snaked right into the gaping maw of the whale as it was about to bite Yu Qingtan.
Looking along the white line, Yu Qingtan saw a small flying boat floating in the sky far away, about thirty-three feet above the sea surface, with a figure donned in a white robe and bamboo hat sitting at the front, wielding a rod thick as a thigh, from the top of which originated the white line.
It was indeed a fisherman.
Yu Qingtan felt cold sweat streaming down, and without hesitation, she spewed a mouthful of vital blood, employing the Bloodwater Escape to flee in a different direction.
With the enhancement of these more than twenty drops of vital blood, Yu Qingtan's speed increased by another thirty percent, escaping the visual range of the Grayline Whale and as well as that of the fisherman in a blink of an eye.
Probably.
Not trusting her chances, Yu Qingtan expelled two more mouthfuls of vital blood, escaping far away from that location.
Rule Four: If you encounter anyone wearing robes of any color other than your own, run immediately. White robes count as another color.
Moreover, the man in white gave Yu Qingtan an extremely dangerous feeling, guessing that even if he wasn't a Fourth Stage existence, his combat abilities were close to it.
Weakened from the loss of most of her vital blood, Yu Qingtan took out the Fourth Stage Blood Vine Fruit she obtained from the Monkey-faced Eagle's treasury, bit into it, consuming a quarter, and instantly her already rapid blood-production function accelerated, producing ten drops of vital blood in a single breath, and within moments, Yu Qingtan recovered.
Taking advantage of the medicinal effects still in force, Yu Qingtan used Bloodwater Escape several more times, further widening the distance between her and any pursuers.
Although this incident was tense and thrilling, it opened up new possibilities for Yu Qingtan.
If the Water Escape Technique and Blood Escape Technique could merge, could the Water Blade Technique and Blood Sword Technique, or Water Curtain Technique and Blood Shield Technique be combined as well?
Onward, Yu Qingtan continued to travel while learning the Blood Shield Technique, meanwhile having Qing Shuang attempt to integrate the Water Blade Technique with the Blood Sword Technique.
In this region of Blood God Cult ruins, night and day seemed indistinguishable, and after half a day's journey, apart from the island in sight growing somewhat larger, the surroundings remained mostly unchanged.
On the way, the frequency of encounters with Blood Demons decreased and they yielded diminishing rewards.
One Third Stage Blood Demon Core and the method to refine Demonic Blood Pills was her harvest.
Demonic Blood Pills can be used to aid in body refinement, available from the First to Fourth Stage, a pity Yu Qingtan was no alchemist, or else she could have utilized the Fourth Stage Demonic Blood Pills to assist in her Demon Blood Body Refining Technique. Experience more on empire
At this moment, Yu Qingtan encountered the second person in a red robe.
When their eyes met, they immediately broke into combat.
This person was merely at the early phase of the Golden Core Stage, no match for Yu Qingtan, who easily crushed him with the Blood God Peak.
To prevent the adversary from attempting to self-destruct their Golden Core, Yu Qingtan even pretended to be somewhat overwhelmed at first, and then, at the moment the other's guard lowered, the Blood God Peak, brimming with absorbed spiritual energy, suddenly struck with force, pulverizing the opponent's flesh, soul, and the tiny fragment of the soul within their Golden Core into ash.
The previous person's soul had entered the Golden Core when their body was destroyed, as usually only a small portion of the soul resides within the Golden Core.
When Yu Qingtan took possession of this person's Golden Core, it suddenly transformed into a streak of blood light, shooting into Yu Qingtan's body.
