Danzun War God

Chapter Thirty-Seven Blood Spirit Grass

"Of course, that's no problem. It's just that the Blood Spirit Grass is extremely rare, found only in the Demon Realm. It's probably impossible to obtain it now, as the human and demon realms are separated by a powerful barrier set up by the God of War." This was said by Lin Hongchang, the head of the Lin family.

Everyone echoed in agreement, looking at Han Qi with expectant eyes. Old Master Lin also looked troubled and slowly said, "Yes, the other medicinal herbs are easy to handle, but Qi'er, do you have a way to deal with the Blood Spirit Grass?"

Han Qi chuckled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry about that. I saw my master, Elder Situ, had one when I was in the Xuantian Sect. I'll go try my luck."

“That’s excellent. Let’s see what conditions Elder Situ will ask for in exchange for this Blood Spirit Grass. Without further ado, let’s split up.” Lin Hongchang immediately said.

Grandpa Lin nodded and said, "Alright, Qi'er, tell everyone what medicinal herbs you need, and I'll go get the Emperor Grass and the Magic Grass."

Afterwards, Han Qi wrote out the prescription, and everyone happily dispersed to find the medicinal herbs.

Han Qi also left the council hall, preparing to head to Fire Cloud City. He had indeed found Blood Spirit Grass in Blood Demon Mountain within the Xuan Tian Sect's secret realm, but the grass was still relatively young, and its medicinal effects were limited. Han Qi's plan for this trip was to venture deeper into Blood Demon Mountain to search and try his luck.

"Brother Qi, I want to go with you too!" Lin Yuyao said as she ran up to him.

Han Qi immediately said, "Yuyao, you don't need to go this time. I won't be taking Chen Wei with me either. You two should study hard at home. I'll be back soon."

"Okay then, be careful," Lin Yuyao said dejectedly.

Soon, Han Qi settled his family and headed to Fire Cloud City. Although Han Qi flew through the air, it took him more than ten days to arrive in Fire Cloud City. Han Qi went directly to the cave on the back mountain of Emerald Peak that led to the secret realm. Han Qi first used the Bewitching Pearl to shield his aura, then broke the seal and slowly entered the secret realm.

It was nighttime within the secret realm, a full moon hung in the sky, making the realm exceptionally bright and everything around clearly visible. Han Qi cautiously glanced at the stone chamber where he had previously practiced. He clearly sensed an extremely heavy aura of malevolence surrounding him and couldn't help but think to himself: "It seems these people's demonic cultivation technique has reached a certain level. It's best to be cautious." He then flew towards Blood Demon Mountain.

Along the way, Han Qi encountered several wandering demonic spirits, all of whom died under the power of Han Qi's primordial spirit. Soon, Han Qi arrived at the territory of Blood Demon Mountain. The red blood mist around him kept churning. Han Qi immediately condensed a Xuan Qi shield to protect himself from the blood mist's erosion.

Han Qi had been walking for nearly an hour, but to his surprise, he hadn't seen a single Blood Spirit. He was filled with doubt. Since flying was impossible on Blood Demon Mountain, Han Qi quickened his pace, determined to find an old Blood Spirit Grass as soon as possible. The unusual surroundings were making him uneasy. By the moonlight, Han Qi arrived at the main peak of Blood Demon Mountain, its highest point, called Moon Gazing Peak.

At this moment, Han Qi clearly felt that the blood mist here was much denser, to the point that it was pitch black. Han Qi could only use his divine sense to explore the way, and his speed gradually decreased.

Han Qi glanced up at the moon absentmindedly. Through the blood mist, the moon appeared blood-red, its light exceptionally bright. Han Qi ignored this and continued walking forward, searching the ground. He found several Blood Spirit Grasses, but they were too young. Han Qi did not pick them.

Suddenly, Han Qi stopped, for he sensed a massive platform before him, teeming with tens of thousands of Blood Spirits, including the auras of Blood Spirit Venerables and Blood Spirit Emperors. Han Qi inwardly cried out in alarm and immediately activated the Bewitching Pearl to shield his own aura.

Han Qi pondered for a moment, then immediately remembered that today was the once-a-decade pilgrimage of the Blood Spirit Clan in the Demon Realm, and also the day when the Blood Spring in the Blood Spirit Ancestral Land was open to the entire clan. The so-called Blood Spring was the life spring of the Blood Spirit Clan, providing energy for their survival and cultivation. The Blood Spring could absorb the malevolent energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the moon, containing immense energy.

Every ten years, on the night of the full moon on the fifteenth of August, the Heavenly Dao Seal is automatically activated, releasing blood energy, malevolent energy, and spiritual energy. On this day, all the blood spirits gather around the Blood Spring to absorb the energy released by the Blood Spring. The cultivation level of each blood spirit will increase dramatically, and the growth in one night is much faster than devouring dozens of people with the cultivation level of the Condensation Realm. Even the surrounding medicinal herbs will increase their age by several decades overnight.

Han Qi watched as the Blood Spirits greedily absorbed the energy of the Blood Spring, completely absorbed and oblivious to his arrival. Han Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed that many Blood Spirit Grasses were growing there, visibly so, including several that were hundreds of years old. Looking at the sky, he realized it was almost dawn and the Blood Spirits' pilgrimage was about to end. Han Qi quickly picked a few Blood Spirit Grasses and hurried down the mountain.

As soon as Han Qi descended Wangyue Peak, he heard a commotion coming from the summit. Needless to say, the Heavenly Dao seal on the Blood Spring must have been closed by now, and the Blood Spirits had dispersed to return to their respective territories.

Han Qi immediately hid behind a large rock. The light blue aura surrounding his body was still very conspicuous. Fortunately, the blood mist here was very thick, which prevented him from being discovered. After a long while, seeing no movement, Han Qi finally came out. He had only taken a few steps when the blood mist in front of him suddenly dissipated, revealing a Blood Spirit Venerable in front of him. The Venerable's strength was far above that of the Blood Spirit King. Han Qi was stunned. With his Tribulation Manifestation Realm cultivation, he had not been able to detect the other party's presence. It was clear that this Blood Spirit Venerable's cultivation was above his own.

Upon seeing Blood Spirit Venerable, he first let out a terrifying cold laugh, then said, "Boy, I've been observing you for a long time. It seems you've got some skills to dare come here alone. But you've come at the right time. I'll test the power of my newly promoted Blood Spirit Venerable. Hahaha!" After saying that, he burst into wild laughter again.

Han Qi inwardly cried out in alarm, but said without changing his expression, "Blood Spirit Venerable, is it? Perfect, I'll take your Blood Spirit Essence to make medicine, saving me the trouble of searching for it again." As he spoke, he began to activate the Fire Spirit Pearl in his Life Palace, preparing to unleash his power. Knowing that his strength might be no match for Blood Spirit Venerable, he had to use an unexpected move to win.

"This brat is arrogant enough, just what I wanted." Blood Spirit Lord said excitedly, followed by another burst of wild laughter.

No sooner said than done, just as Blood Spirit Venerable was laughing heartily, a yellow flame palm print passed by him. At this moment, Han Qi made his move, and a Blazing Flame Chapter was swiftly unleashed.
