Chapter 412 Essence Blood Acquired
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this drop is the essence blood of a fifth-grade low-rank Yang Flame Dragon Sparrow. Please check it and see if there are any problems!" Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

He held a grayish-white stone bottle in his hand, and the drop of Yangyan Dragon Sparrow's essence blood was contained in this stone bottle.

"It is indeed the essence blood of a fifth-tier low-grade fire-attribute demonic bird. No problem, thank you, Sect Master!"

A look of joy appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face, and he quickly examined the drop of blood.

This drop of essence blood is indeed the essence blood of a low-grade fire-attribute demonic bird, but it was not recently condensed.

Lu Cheng'an guessed that this drop of essence blood might not have come from the early stage of the fifth rank Yangyan Dragon Sparrow, but he didn't care, as long as it could help him cultivate the divine ability of the Fire Sea Nurturing Flame Sparrow.

"Since there's nothing wrong with this drop of essence blood, then I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation any longer!"

Master Tianyun chuckled and said, "If Fellow Daoist Lu has any needs, please feel free to ask. Our Yin Hua Sect will do its best to meet them!"

Master Tianyun did not stay in Lu Cheng'an's cave for long. After leaving, he returned to his cave to adjust his state.

During this time, he inquired about the Demon Hunter Ranking, and according to what he heard, the Demon Hunter Ranking would be released soon.

The power of this magic weapon on the Demon Hunter List is extremely formidable. Once its power spreads to Dreamland, even if he is in Dreamland, he can still trade the treasures he needs with cultivators in the Central Divine Continent through the Demon Hunter List.

The Demon Hunting Ranking also involves spatial power, which can instantly teleport treasures into the hands of cultivators.

Once the Demon Hunter Ranking is released, the Demon Hunter Points accumulated by Yin Hua Sect will definitely be enough for him to exchange for a Heavenly Yang Divine Pill. Relying on the medicinal power of the Heavenly Yang Divine Pill, he is very confident that he can break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of Tianyun Shangren's plans. After obtaining the drop of fire-attribute demonic bird's essence blood, he immediately returned to his cave and began to cultivate the divine power of the Fire Sea Nurturing Flame Sparrow in seclusion.

The "Fire Sea Sparrow" is a divine ability attached to the Earth Flame Scripture, and it is also the divine ability that best suits Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an had not cultivated this divine ability until now, because he lacked the blood essence of a fifth-order fire-attribute demonic bird.

However, Lu Cheng'an had previously studied the supernatural power of the Fire Sea Sparrow.

Now that he has obtained the essence blood of a fifth-tier fire-attribute demonic bird, his cultivation of this divine ability has become very smooth.

He mastered the basics of the Fire Sea Sparrow cultivation technique in three days, reached minor mastery in a month, and major mastery in three months.

At this point, all the foundation he had accumulated was exhausted, making cultivation much more difficult.

Meanwhile, as Lu Cheng'an was cultivating the divine ability of the Flame Sparrow in the Sea of ​​Fire, the Demon Hunting Ranking was finally unveiled.

The Demon Hunting Ranking, jointly crafted by the four super powers of Xuanchen Sect, Li Clan Immortal Clan, Wanfa Sect and Feixian Sect, is a top-grade eighth-rank artifact that covers almost the entire Xuanchen Realm.

It can detect the aura of all cultivators within its coverage area. At that time, cultivators can leave their messages on the Demon Hunter List according to its instructions.

If you want to exchange for something later, you can do so through the Demon Hunter Points.

Lu Cheng'an also left his message on the Demon Hunter Ranking; his Demon Hunter Points are currently at zero.

Previously, he helped Biluo Yuanjun and Li Yuan kill three demonic cultivators at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but in the end, it was not Lu Cheng'an who killed the Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, so the demon-hunting points were not calculated for Lu Cheng'an.

In addition, the Demon Hunter Ranking also offers various treasures that can be redeemed with Demon Hunter Points.

The Heavenly Yang Divine Pill, which Heavenly Cloud Venerable longed to exchange for, was an extremely common item, as was the Thunder Essence Pill, which helped late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators break through to the Perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Because the treasures released by the Demon Hunter Ranking even include those of the eighth tier!
A Nascent Soul cultivator can obtain 10 Demon Hunting Points for killing an early-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator, 30 for a mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator, 60 for a late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator, and 100 for a perfect Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Demon Hunting Points obtained by Nascent Soul cultivators from killing Nascent Soul demon cultivators are the same, but the ratio of Demon Hunting Points obtained by Nascent Soul cultivators is one to one hundred.

Lu Cheng'an was very excited when he saw the treasures that could be exchanged for Demon Hunting Points on the Demon Hunting Ranking.

He can exchange the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire and the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood he needs to cultivate his supernatural powers for Demon Hunting Points. Both of these treasures are of the fifth-tier, low-grade quality, and require very few Demon Hunting Points, only three in total.

Lu Cheng'an also looked at the fifth-grade high-quality Heavenly Yang Divine Pill. The price of such a breakthrough treasure is not low. One Heavenly Yang Divine Pill is worth twenty-five Demon Hunting Points, which is equivalent to killing two early-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivators.

Previously, the Yin Hua Sect had killed a total of four Nascent Soul demon cultivators, including three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and one mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. They could obtain a total of sixty Demon Hunting Points, which was more than enough to exchange for a Heavenly Yang Divine Pill.

Master Tianyun was very anxious. As soon as the Demon Hunter Ranking was released, he spent 25 Demon Hunter Points to exchange for a Heavenly Yang Divine Pill.

After that, he went into seclusion to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The same applies to the Heavenly Corpse Sect's Ten Thousand Corpse Elder and the Desire Spirit Sect's Red Cherry Primordial Sovereign; they both remained at their original realms for a very long time.

Now that the Demon Hunter Ranking has been released, they have all accumulated enough Demon Hunter Points to exchange for breakthrough treasures.

After exchanging for treasures that aided in breaking through realms, they have now begun using these treasures to attempt to advance their realms.

It is conceivable that with the emergence of the Demon Hunting Ranking, the strength of cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm will experience a rapid increase.

The emergence of the Demon Hunter Ranking had no impact on Lu Cheng'an, because he didn't have a single Demon Hunter Point.

Even though there are many kinds of treasures that can be exchanged on the Demon Hunter Ranking, none of them are ones that Lu Cheng'an can exchange.

"I've hit a bottleneck in cultivating the Flaming Sparrow in the Sea of ​​Fire Divine Power, so I won't waste any more time on this power!"

Lu Cheng'an planned to travel to the spatial turbulence where the two realms of Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture meet, to see if he could obtain fifth-tier materials for building a teleportation array.

This material can also be purchased through the Hunter's Ranking. A fifth-tier low-grade material usually only requires one or two Hunter's Points.

However, Lu Cheng'an currently has no Demon Hunting Points at all.

Of course, he could venture deep into Qian Yuan Prefecture to hunt down demonic cultivators, but that would be an extremely dangerous endeavor.

Qian Yuan Prefecture is the territory of demonic cultivators. If he enters Qian Yuan Prefecture alone to hunt demonic cultivators, it will be difficult for him to leave Qian Yuan Prefecture safely once he is discovered by the Nascent Soul demonic cultivators in Qian Yuan Prefecture.

However, Lu Cheng'an felt that there would definitely be cultivators who would risk entering the territory of demonic cultivators to hunt them down, since the treasures listed on the Hunter's List were too tempting.

Perhaps before long, some cultivators will be unable to resist entering Qian Yuan Prefecture to hunt down demonic cultivators, at which point the situation in Qian Yuan Prefecture will inevitably descend into chaos.

If Lu Cheng'an's trip to the spatial turbulence yields no results, he plans to wait until things get chaotic in Qian Yuan Prefecture and then infiltrate the prefecture to hunt down demonic cultivators.

He can also obtain Demon Hunting Points by killing demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages, but a demonic cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage is only worth one Demon Hunting Point at the Deity Transformation stage.

Demonic cultivators below the Nascent Soul Perfection realm aren't even worth a single Demon Hunting Point. After considering his options, Lu Cheng'an left his cave dwelling, preparing to head towards that spatial turbulence.

"Has Fellow Daoist Lu recovered from his injuries?" Old Monster Miyin asked with a smile when he saw Lu Cheng'an.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Miyin. Thanks to the Sect Master's Green Wood Replenishing Pill, all my injuries have now been fully healed!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "I plan to go to the spatial turbulence at the border of Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture to try my luck there. I came to inform you, my friend."

After the Demon Hunter Ranking was released, Yin Hua Sect's Tianyun Shangren, Biluo Yuanjun, and Xuanxu Daoist all used Demon Hunter Points to exchange for some treasures needed for cultivation. Currently, all three of them are in seclusion in their caves cultivating.

Currently, the only Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yin Hua Sect active outside is Old Monster Mi Yin.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please be careful. That spatial turbulence is still extremely dangerous!"

The old monster of the Miyin frowned slightly and said, "This is some information I know about the spatial turbulence in that area. I'm giving it to Fellow Daoist Lu. I wish you a safe journey!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Miyin!" A look of joy appeared in Lu Cheng'an's eyes as he immediately expressed his gratitude to Old Monster Miyin.

He came here today mainly to tell the old monster Miyin that he was going to that spatial turbulence, but he didn't expect to have such a gain.

"All I know is some basic information!"

The old monster of the Mystic Sound smiled faintly and immediately gave Lu Cheng'an a copy of the information about spatial turbulence.

After accepting the jade slip, Lu Cheng'an took his leave.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an left the Yin Hua Sect's mountain gate and sped towards the area bordering Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture.

Yin Hua Sect is located within Mengyuan Prefecture. If Lu Cheng'an wants to reach the border area between Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture from Yin Hua Sect, he needs to cross the entire territory of Yunhai Prefecture.

The large prefectures here are different from Qingzhou and Hezhou; Mengyuan Prefecture and other prefectures have extremely vast areas.

Yumehara Province is still the smallest province, but even its area exceeds the combined area of ​​Qing, He, and Tai provinces.

The old monster of the Miyin told Lu Cheng'an that he could take the teleportation array of the Yinhua Sect and quickly reach the border between Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture.

However, Lu Cheng'an did not want to take the teleportation array. This time, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the spatial turbulence to learn more about the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture and the Xuanchen Realm.

He wanted to find out the locations of Yunzhou and Youzhou, which were near the boundless Black River.

If he finds the locations of these two states, he can then investigate the main reason for the formation of the raging lightning field in the boundless black river.

He wanted to find a way to avoid the raging lightning domain; if he could leave the raging lightning domain, the danger would be greatly reduced.

Lu Cheng'an currently only has maps of four states: Mengyuan, Yunhai, Jinhua, and Qianyuan. He does not yet have a map of the entire Xuanchen Realm.

The Yin Hua Sect possesses a map of the entire Xuan Chen Realm, but Lu Cheng'an did not purchase it from them, as he did not want the cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect to have too much information about him.

"Go straight to Cloudsea City. It's the largest cultivation city in Cloudsea Prefecture. You can definitely buy a map of the entire Xuanchen Realm there!"

Yin Hua Sect is also located on the edge of Mengyuan Prefecture, bordering Yunhai Prefecture, but Yunhai Sect's territory is on the other side of Yunhai Prefecture.

If Lu Cheng'an wants to get to Yunhai City, he still needs to pass through the territory of Wanlei Sect.

Lu Cheng'an did not reveal his Nascent Soul realm cultivation while traveling, but suppressed his cultivation to the Nascent Soul realm.

There are not many Nascent Soul cultivators in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture; basically, only Nascent Soul sects have Nascent Soul cultivators.

The rogue Nascent Soul cultivators of the Three States are extremely famous in the Three States. If Lu Cheng'an were to reveal his Nascent Soul cultivation, he would definitely be noticed by the Nascent Soul sects of the Three States.

Lu Cheng'an did not travel fast. If he encountered a large city of cultivation, he would stay for a day or two to inquire about the situation in the Xuan Chen Realm.

Traveling at a stop-and-go pace, it took a month and a half to finally reach Cloudsea City.

Cloud Sea City is built in the sea of ​​clouds, and several huge floating spiritual peaks support this great city of cultivation.

Although Lu Cheng'an suppressed his cultivation level, he still displayed the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

Such cultivation level would still be highly respected in the three states of Yunhai Prefecture.

After entering Yunhai City, Lu Cheng'an first inquired about the situation in Yunhai City before entering Feiyunlou, the largest shop in Yunhai City.

Feiyunlou is a shop opened by the Yunhai Sect, and it has the most complete selection of goods.

When Lu Cheng'an entered Feiyun Tower, he found that the business was much quieter than he had heard. He quickly figured out the reason.

"The emergence of the Demon Hunter Ranking has had a significant impact on these shops, especially large shops like Flying Cloud Pavilion!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. The Demon Hunter Ranking offers a wider variety of tradable items, with the only limitation being that they require Demon Hunter Points for trading.

If this restriction is lifted, the impact on shops like Feiyunlou will be even greater.

Lu Cheng'an's thoughts were in turmoil before he entered Feiyun Tower.

"My name is Zuo Yan, one of the managers of Feiyun Tower. May I ask what your needs are, fellow traveler?"

As soon as Lu Cheng'an entered Feiyun Tower, a middle-aged man dressed in purple appeared in front of him.

"My name is An Cheng. I would like to purchase a detailed map of the Xuan Chen Realm. I wonder if your establishment sells such a map?" Lu Chengan asked with a smile.

His gaze fell on Zuo Yan, and he discovered that Zuo Yan's cultivation level was not low, having reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

“Of course we have those. Maps of the Xuan Chen Realm are divided into three grades. The third grade only marks the locations of the major continents and costs fifty spirit beads. The second grade adds the cultivation forces within each continent that have experts at the Dao Integration Realm and costs two hundred spirit beads. The third grade adds the cultivation forces within each continent that have cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm and also marks some dangerous places and places containing opportunities, as well as a general introduction to the various experts within the region and costs eight hundred spirit beads. I wonder which one Fellow Daoist An would like to buy?” Zuo Yan asked with a smile.

"Give me a second-class map!" Lu Cheng'an replied after thinking for a moment.

"I'd also like to purchase a top-grade fourth-tier defensive magic weapon. Could you recommend one or two?"

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will fetch the map for you first. Later, I will show you some of the top-grade fourth-tier defensive magic treasures in our Flying Cloud Pavilion's collection. I am sure you will be satisfied."
