Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Ding Si year, autumn.

The battle for the eighth walking position of the Blood Robe lineage has finally begun.

Ninety states across the country jointly launch the Blood Son Trial to select the best from each state, and then at the end of the year, through the Dragon Abyss Competition... the next generation will be chosen to walk the world.

The Jade Capital Star Palace overlooks the world of mortals, and countless people come and go from it.

But the fate of this generation of blood-stained warriors also concerns the hearts and minds of countless people.

After all, a great cultivator like the Fifth Walker who has reached the state of transformation of the spirit has a lifespan of more than 2,000 years, and has many means to prolong his life. This is even more so for those at a higher level. Even the Fifth Walker of Bodhi has not changed for 1,200 years.

It is extremely easy for low-level walkers to break through, and they will be replaced in just a few decades or even years... And for some reason, most of those active in the world are low-level walkers, as for those high-level walkers, they seem to have disappeared like a dragon with its tail wagging.

Moreover, the Xueyi lineage inherits the essence of the dragon blood and spreads it to the world through the business workshop.

In addition to the supreme luck, the Walking in Blood Robe also represents inexhaustible resources.

Not to mention the three or five clans in the small Chu State, even the aristocratic families in Zhongzhou that have been passed down for thousands of years will have abundant resources and blessings for dozens of generations because of a Blood-Cloaked Walker in their family.

Countless forces and talents throughout the world are eyeing the position of the Blood Robe Walker, some even supporting younger generations of geniuses to stay in the foundation-building stage for over ten years waiting...

Now that autumn has arrived, the places where the Blood Robe is inherited in various states have long been filled with flying boats crisscrossing and immortal pavilions rising and falling.

A trial place as powerful as Zhongzhou, Guzhou, and Leihuangzhou is a grand occasion where thousands of immortals gather.

Although Yongning Prefecture is far behind, the recent rumors about the Azure Dragon entering the fate have also attracted some tourists from other provinces.

In the early morning, the warm sun of early autumn shines lazily.

The lush and green mountains seem to respond to the breeze, and the green pines sway and dance.

Ordinary people obviously don't care about or know about the Blood Son Trial.

Outside the imperial city of Qixia Kingdom, hundreds of officials stood in a solemn manner. A man dressed in majestic imperial robes strode forward with the maids' ceremonial procession to the outskirts of the city.

Qixia is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it is extremely hot and humid in summer. Therefore, people in the world pay more attention to welcoming autumn and curing diseases.

A historian followed closely behind the procession, writing furiously: "At the beginning of the first month of autumn, at the hour of Chen, the emperor personally led all civil and military officials to welcome autumn in the western suburbs."

The Hongchen Sect might have realized something, but it was just that someone discovered... the leaders of those sects that dominated one side all came to the Liao Kingdom at the same time.

No one knew when it started, but clouds and mist enveloped the entire Blood God Peak.

Gazing out from beyond the mountains, one can only see the red clouds filling the sky with misty morning clouds, and the towering peaks seeming out of reach.

And on the Blood God Peak.

Jade tables and green terraces were everywhere, and spiritual wines and fine liquors were available. A group of idle spectators sat down, all of them were monks from Yujing and their families.

It can be said that foundation-building and Qi-training are everywhere in the mountains, and true Golden Elixir cultivation can be seen everywhere.

Pang Zhen's majestic voice echoed through the mountains and hills: "The Yongning Blood Son Trial will begin immediately. I invite all fellow Taoists to participate and wait together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom ball of light several feet in size appeared out of thin air outside the Blood God Peak, which looked like the entrance to the secret realm of trial.

One after another, figures rose from the ground, blood energy spread, and the blood-robed disciples participating in the trial began to step into the secret realm.

The idle visitors in Yujing who were watching were also whispering to each other.

"Xu Yun is quite smart. He hasn't made any move yet."

"That fellow Taoist is...?"

"Zhai Yunzhao, I think. He's usually stationed in the Juechen Valley of the Li Kingdom. I kept his communication jade in my early years, but I haven't seen him in a few years."

"Look!"

"Junior Sister Chen has also gone in. I wonder how long she can maintain her cultivation at the second level of Foundation Establishment?"

"I hope you don't get seriously injured in just half a day..."

Luo Xianning sat at the same table with the monks from the Chu State.

She was sitting quietly not far away from Chen Changsheng, Bai Wanqiu and others. Beside her were Tianxiang Suhe, Liyan Situ Ying, Situ Jing... and Cheng Buyi.

Among the eighteen states of Yongning, Chu is located in the most remote part of the East China Sea. There are very few Yujing monks there, so it is quite quiet.

At this moment, Su He watched figures disappear from the ferry entrance, and said with a faint smile: "Shen Mo usually keeps quiet, maybe he has some hidden tricks up his sleeve that can make him a top ten contender."

Luo Xianning looked at Cheng Buyi and explained, "Shen Mo used to be the garrison commander of Changshengfang. He is now at the seventh level of foundation building, which is the highest level among the blood-robed disciples in the foundation building stage of Chu State."

Situ Jing, a delicate figure, added as she cut into the spiritual fruit, "That stern man in the purple robe is also a Blood Robe disciple of our Chu State. His name is Lü Peng... He usually practices in the merchant house outside Qianyuan Palace and is an old friend of yours."

Cheng Buyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded awkwardly: "I thought they were cultivators from another country."

"Why isn't Zhao Qing here?!"

He asked softly, expressing his doubts.

Unlike Su He and others, among the Yujing cultivators he knew, apart from his parents and Chen Changsheng, there was only Zhao Qing, so he had been looking for Zhao Qing.

Luo Xianning also had a puzzled look on her face. She glanced at Bai Wanqiu and the others who were chatting and laughing not far away, and replied softly, "They must still be staying in the hall and watching, and haven't entered the secret realm yet."

Cheng Buyi:? ?

He had heard from his uncle that Zhao Qing had had a great opportunity in Shouyun Mountain in his early years, and the Azure Dragon entering his life might be related to this... He must be a blood son in this trial.

But why is it that more than a hundred people have entered the secret realm, but he still has not shown up?

"Could it be that for some special reason, he entered earlier through another entrance?"

"No way."

"If that's the case, Xiaoyi and Hongning should come looking for us..."

Cheng Buyi nodded in confusion. Of course he knew Zhou Xiaoyi. She was Danxia's former junior sister.

When he met Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing had not yet become a Taoist couple with Zhou Xiaoyi.

Cheng Buyi didn't know what he was thinking about. He glanced at the silent Situ Ying, then looked at the three charming and beautiful women in front of him...

He poured himself a glass of spirit wine out of boredom and said with a smile, "Too many fellow Taoists are watching this Blood Robe Trial. It's quite different from the year when Purple Pearl competed for the ninth place."

Purple Pearl Fight Ninth Walk! ?

When talking about gossip, the newbie Situ Jing's eyes were burning, waiting for this fellow Daoist Cheng to talk in detail.

Su He smiled politely and watched Cheng Buyi tell the story quietly.

As for Luo Xianning...

She had heard Shuyue talk about this many times, so she didn't find it new at all. She just communicated with her master silently, guessing where Zhao Qing had gone.

Liu Zijing was also privately puzzled. Could it be that Senior Brother Pang Zhen was planning to... let Zhao Qing skip the trial and become a blood son?

In fact, it was not just the people of Chu who were looking for Zhao Qing.

There are also several Jindan from Qu Yunzhou who are also looking for Zhao Qing's whereabouts. Although they don't need to take action to eliminate Zhao Qing, they should at least take a look at the situation and understand the situation first, right?

Gradually, many cultivators began to talk privately. The legendary person whose life was incarnated by the Azure Dragon...didn't seem to appear?

Until the entrance to the secret realm closed, Pang Zhen's figure disappeared, and many girls in palace dresses came forward to present the unique fruits and delicacies of the Liao Kingdom...

The idle spectators on Blood God Peak also began to feel a little confused.

It is said that there is a green dragon in Yongning Prefecture, but Zhao Qing did not appear!

Qin Chuxin looked surprised. His vast spiritual consciousness swept across Blood God Peak. He chuckled and whispered to Chen Changsheng, "Zhao Qing must have been hidden by Blood God Peak. It seems many people are looking for him. I wonder what they are planning."

Chen Changsheng was originally a spectator, but the current situation seemed a little unusual.

He turned to ask Liu Zijing: "Can the position of Blood Son be obtained without participating in the trial?"

Liu Zijing pondered the words he had transmitted, "I've never heard of such a precedent, but on Blood God Peak, Senior Brother Pang has the final say."

It is no coincidence.

Apart from these spectators, there were also people in the secret trial realm who were lost in thought.

What you see is a dry and cracked red land with no end in sight, dark red lava spreading and flowing, and a strong and hot wind blowing in your face, making it seem as if your consciousness is being burned and unbearable.

The five blood-robed disciples from Qu Yunzhou looked at each other with strange expressions.

Four of them were at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and one was at the third level. They stood quietly in the crowd and listened to Pang Zhen announce the rules of the trial.

As for the Twin Yang Stones, the joint mining of Fire Spirit Roots and Earth Spirit Roots, the fighting and competing... they didn't listen at all.

Where is Zhao Qingren?

The five of them exchanged glances, and simultaneously looked towards the other Blood-robed disciple from the Chu State...

·

at the same time.

In the dark courtyard deep in the Blood Temple.

Zhao Qing and his family sat in front of the stone table, staring at the five people with confusion.

"Why do they always follow Shen Mo?"

Shuyue's eyes flickered, and she asked doubtfully, "These shouldn't be cultivators from Yongning Prefecture, right?"

Although she had never been to the Jingzhe Banquet, the fact that four cultivators at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage were traveling together and glancing at Shen Mo from afar from time to time was obviously something wrong.

My aunt and Zhao Qing looked at each other and whispered, "I haven't seen it."

Red Lemon's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of reminiscence on her face: "I have never heard of any country having four Blood Robe disciples in the late Foundation Establishment stage."

Her eyes rippled, and she whispered, "Is it for you?"

Zhao Qing: ...

Is that so? Buddy?

He was distracted by manipulating the spirit jade, and the image in the array mirror also changed with Shen Mo's movements.

"I'll have to ask Sister Meng about this when she comes back..."

"It doesn't necessarily mean you want to kill me."

At this moment, there were only four of them in the courtyard.

Qinghuan was given a calming incense by Hong Ning and was still resting in a small pavilion in the side hall.

Meng Xue left this place last night and has not returned yet.

She directly left the Blood God Temple's restrictions and the trial jade mirror to Zhao Qing for temporary safekeeping.

Zhao Qing is the eighth blood son of Yongning, and he lives in the Blood God Temple at night... Isn't that reasonable?

While the spectators outside the hall were still searching and the disciples in the secret realm were still confused, Zhao Qing had already enjoyed the treatment of a blood son of a state.

The restrictions of the entire Blood Temple were handed over to him, so he could have a good sleep with his family - even though they had discussed all night last night and had no intention of falling asleep.

Drink a cup of hot tea early in the morning, sit leisurely in the courtyard and watch the progress of the trial.

The only pity is that I can’t enjoy all kinds of spiritual wine and delicious food like Luo Xianning and the others.

Fortunately, when we were strolling around Lianyang Town, my aunt and Shuyue bought a lot of dried tofu and crispy pastries, which are all delicacies unique to Zimo County.

But right now, they naturally have no intention of really enjoying it...

Zhao Qing watched Shen Mo for a while. Although he guessed that those people might be coming for him, he still switched the screen and looked at what everyone was going to do.

He didn't forget the important things.

The three days of the Blood Son Trial... are used to examine the overall situation. After discovering problems, it is correct to check for leaks and take precautions in advance.

As for who has ulterior motives, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I didn’t participate in the trial at all, so I’m safe.

My aunt's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and while she spoke softly, she also wrote down her own opinions on the jade slip.

"A total of one hundred and forty-three people entered the secret realm."

"At the beginning of the trial, many cultivators, regardless of their level of cultivation, scattered around to observe. They did not study the veins and stones in detail, but instead focused on guarding against possible threats around them."

"Of course, except for the five outsiders who followed Shen Mo."

Zhao Qing did not speak, but just listened to his aunt's words and watched silently.

Just half a cup of tea later, he discovered a lone cultivator who was mining. He was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and looked familiar. He had met him several times at the Jingzhe Banquet.

Perhaps the environment in the secret realm had some effect on his spiritual consciousness, and he didn't notice that eighty miles away from him... there was a cultivator in the late foundation building stage wandering silently, obviously keeping an eye on him.

Hong Ning recognized the miner and whispered, "Ji Bing is being targeted."

"That person wanted to wait for him to search for the ore, consuming his spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy, and then attack him by surprise, injuring him and seizing the ore. This would allow him to take advantage of the moment to defend himself and minimize his own consumption."

Zhao Qing nodded in agreement. He had experienced the Danta Trial and knew that the consumption and recovery of spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy were the big problems at this time.

Blood Son Trial items cannot be brought into the storage ring, and naturally, any elixirs for restoring consciousness cannot be brought with them, unless there are suitable herbs in the secret realm to temporarily refine them...

He murmured to himself, "If there are any medicinal herbs in the Dragon Abyss, I should be able to temporarily refine some recovery pills."

Shuyue's expression was a little solemn, her bright eyes fixed on Ji Bing who was using magic to split rocks and crack the earth.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Fellow Daoist Ji should be in danger."

My aunt nodded slightly, lowered her head, and wrote something on the jade slip. She said, "We can't be impatient for quick success, and we can't just sit and wait for death. It would be best if we could have a first-level dust-sealing formation to block our spiritual consciousness..."

"When the trial begins, conceal yourself from detection and observe the changes."

Zhao Qing thought silently, he had the illusion of floating shadows...it shouldn't be a big problem then.

He pondered and said, "One should not bring formation talismans into the Hidden Dragon Abyss. Otherwise, a high-level talisman and an unparalleled killing formation will be enough to wipe out most of the blood sons."

My aunt naturally understood this and said softly, "We still have half a year left. I will teach you how to engrave the Dust Sealing Formation."

"The Dust Sealing Formation is a fixed formation, without many variations. With the concentration of your spiritual sense... learning only this one formation is more than enough."

Zhao Qing naturally agreed happily. The most important thing in this kind of trial is how to survive, not how to kill.

After all, as time goes by, conflicts will break out sooner or later. The best solution must be to preserve the manpower and maintain one's own state at the peak... and be a good oriole.

If you rely on your own cultivation skills and rush around recklessly to fight for things, you will definitely be killed by others.

……

Soon, the first injured person appeared in the secret realm.

It was not Ji Bing who was targeted, but another cultivator at the ninth level of foundation building.

Strangely enough...

He did not fight for anything, nor did he get the Twin Yang Stones. He was directly attacked by more than ten people. If it weren't for his extremely fast wind speed... he might have been beaten to death.

Hong Ning's eyes trembled slightly as she analyzed, "Yu Feng's speed hasn't slowed down. Aside from the hole in his right shoulder, he probably only suffered some spiritual damage."

Zhao Qing and his aunt looked at each other in silence.

There is no lesson to be learned from this situation; it was simply a natural disaster.

Without provoking anyone, he was surrounded by a large group of people. It was obvious that someone was secretly fanning the flames and leading everyone to clear the area.

Shu Yue was a little confused and whispered, "It seems that going it alone isn't a good idea. We won't be able to get any information from other cultivators... Those cultivators who joined forces to clear the area must have been communicating secretly through telepathy."

Hong Ning raised her eyebrows. She was very familiar with this. She was very familiar with this trick.

Ning Mei raised her hand to smooth her hair and said jokingly, "Parties that join forces are often at a disadvantage. It's best to blend in and gain a deeper understanding of the situation to ensure your own safety."

My aunt added at the right moment: "But we can't use all our strength, lest those with ulterior motives notice our various tactics. After all, the alliance is only temporary..."

Zhao Qing pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized...

How can this blood-stained trial be a test of strength?

This is clearly a competition of who can hide better.

The Blood Robe Walker may not be the strongest, but he is definitely the most cowardly.

When you can no longer hide, that is the time to use all your means and fight with all your might.
