The name matched, and the time to advance to the inner sect also matched.
However, how was this possible!
Not to mention the time it took to go from the seventh to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, exchanging for the Foundation Establishment technique required a hundred bowls of blood essence, let alone a few hundred bowls of blood essence required during the Foundation Establishment process.
For most cultivators at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, it would take at least five years to save up so much essence blood.
“Can you guys tell me about this Senior Brother Zhang Chen?”
Xu Yisheng couldn’t help but step forward to inquire, and the result he received was that it really was that Zhang Chen!
In just two years, he had advanced from the seventh layer of Qi cultivation to the foundation building stage. Could it be that after Li Mumin killed Zhou Wenting and the other person, he gave all his blood essence to Zhang Chen?
With so much blood essence, it could at least allow Li Mumin to advance by three levels of cultivation. Why would he give it to Zhang Chen?
Xu Yisheng was muddle-headed and distracted. His mind filled with doubts.
After hearing that Li Mumin had killed Zhou Wenting and the other man, he went to look for his direct disciple, Wen Xiaosu, and obtained protection at the price of two bowls of essence qi every month.
But it hadn’t been long before Zhang Chen had also reached the Foundation Establishment realm.
Could it be that Li Mumin wanted to hold Wen Xiaosu back while he killed me?
At the thought of this, the fear in Xu Yisheng’s heart grew stronger.
“No matter what method I use, I must build a foundation!” Xu Yisheng’s gaze became fierce as he looked at the people around him, as if he was looking at walking essence blood.
A month later, a blood light fell on Blood Bamboo Peak.
When the blood light dissipated, Zhang Chen’s slightly excited figure was revealed.
After spending a month, he had finally gained a preliminary mastery of Blood Escape Technique.
“It’s time to visit Li Mumin. I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees me.”
Zhang Chen transformed into a blood light again and flew towards Li Mumin’s cave abode.
“Is Senior Brother Li here? Junior Brother Zhang Chen is here to visit.”
In the past, he had said he wanted to see him, but now that they were both at the foundation building stage, Zhang Chen said he was here to visit.
“Come in.” Li Mumin’s tone was calm, and there was no hint of joy or anger.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen just bowed his head in respect.
“Did you successfully reach the Foundation Establishment realm and become a direct disciple?” Li Mumin was shocked when he saw Zhang Chen’s attire and aura.
He had been cultivating in the cave abode and did not know that Zhang Chen had reached the Foundation Establishment realm.
“It’s all thanks to Senior Brother’s guidance that I was able to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment realm. I came to express my gratitude to Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen smiled.
It took Li Mumin a while before he said slowly, “Back in the beast garden, you were only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. The reason why I agreed to let you become the spokesperson was because of vou.
“I thought that since you couldn’t exchange for three bowls of blood essence, I would extract your blood essence to replenish it. I didn’t expect you to really have the ability to complete it.
“After the blood sacrifice, I didn’t want to lose the source of my blood essence, so I wanted to take you in as a servant. When you rejected me, I was still angry. How dare you reject a mere fifth level Qi Refinement cultivator?
“If it weren’t for the fact that I still needed you to exchange blood essence for me, I would have taught you a lesson back then. Later on, when you advanced, I only looked at you slightly.
It was not until a few months ago, when you returned with a cultivation level at the ninth level of Qi Refinement and told me that you had killed Zhou Wenting and Jiang Xianghong, that I felt that I had underestimated you and thought that you were worth my investment.
“However, I didn’t expect your cultivation to catch up to mine in just two years.”
Zhang Chen said seriously, “Senior Brother is generous. No matter what, Senior
Brother still has kindness towards me. I can still exchange blood essence for
Senior Brother in the future.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Junior Brother.” This was the first time Li Mumin called Zhang Chen Junior Brother.
I can also benefit from it. It’s mutually beneficial.” Zhang Chen smiled and asked, “By the way, Senior Brother, do you know anything about Elder Blood River well?”
i Mumin shook his head, “I just became a direct disciple not long ago, so I don’t know much about the Elders. I only know that the Blood River Elder condensed a blood river and has the strongest magical power among the elders. He’s in charge of the beast garden.
“Junior Brother, can it be that you’ve become a disciple of Elder Blood River?”
Zhang Chen nodded. “Which elder is Senior Brother under?”
“I’m a disciple of Elder Withered Blood.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before Zhang Chen bade farewell and left. Li Mumin even asked him to stay for the first time.
Every time his identity changed, the attitude of the people around him would also change drastically.
After leaving Li Mumin’s cave, Zhang Chen turned into a blood light and flew towards the beast garden.
He still had six demon beasts in the beast garden. In addition to the 14 demon beast congratulatory gifts he had obtained not long ago, he had a total of 20 demon beasts.
In order to reach the Foundation Establishment realm, he had almost exhausted all the blood essence he had stored. It was time to obtain a wave of demon blood to devour and refine.
Without a formation to conceal it, it was not convenient for him to keep the demon beasts in captivity, and imprinting them with the Beast Slave Seal was too obvious. Moreover, feeding demon beasts was also a troublesome matter.
For now, it was most convenient to continue keeping them in the beast garden.
“Congratulations on becoming a personal disciple, Senior Brother Zhang. This blood storage bottle is my congratulatory gift. I hope you won’t mind it.”
“Senior Brother Zhang, are you here to collect demon blood? In the future, every once in a while, I’ll collect blood and send it to Senior Brother’s cave abode, so you don’t have to waste your precious time running back and forth. “Senior Brother Zhang, if you need anything in the future, just let me know.”
As soon as Zhang Chen arrived at the beast garden, Wang Zhengang eagerly approached him, trying to please him in every way possible.
Wang Zhengang’s cultivation had also improved, reaching the seventh level of Qi Refinement, but he was still an outer sect disciple since he hadn’t participated in the inner sect’s major competition.
Without wasting too much time, Zhang Chen finished collecting blood and flew towards the Pill Pavilion.
He did not forget about the channel for Foundation Establishment demon blood. Previously, his realm was too low and it was difficult to consume the blood, but now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it shouldn’t be a problem.
“Junior Brother Feng, how have you been?” Zhang Chen landed not far from Feng Wensheng and greeted him.
“Senior… Senior Brother Zhang? Congratulations on your promotion to direct disciple. This bottle of Violence Dispelling Pills is my congratulatory gift.” Feng Wensheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and fumbled for a pill bottle.
Zhang Chen did not refuse and accepted it with a smile. “Thank you, Junior
Brother Feng. I came this time to place a long-term order for Foundation
Establishment demon blood. Can it be arranged?”
“No problem for long-term orders, but I don’t know how much you need and how often,” Feng Wensheng said, becoming serious when he heard that it was a business matter.
“At least three buckets of Foundation Establishment demon blood a day, and the more the better,” Zhang Chen stated his request.
This was a huge deal!
Feng Wensheng was excited. “Senior Brother Zhang, how about I talk to the alchemists and see how much Foundation Establishment demon blood they can provide a day?”
“Sure, just come to Blood Bamboo Peak to trade with me once you have the result.” With that, Zhang Chen didn’t linger and turned into blood light to leave.
Back in his cave, Zhang Chen began to devour and refine the demon blood without rest.
With his Foundation Establishment cultivation, the speed at which he refined demon blood increased by three times.
He could refine 30 buckets of demon blood at the Qi Refinement realm without stopping for 24 hours.
Feeling the rapid increase in his blood essence, Zhang Chen was both happy and vexed.
This meant that his demand for demon blood had increased again.
“I hope the Foundation Establishment demon blood can surprise me.” Zhang Chen continued to refine the demon blood in his cave and waited for Feng
Wensheng to arrive..
