Ji City, behind the pharmacy.
The light from the furnace flickered, illuminating Ning Daoran’s young and handsome face.
It was expected that Nie Shentong would be evasive. The Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World’s sect barriers are strict, and it is indeed difficult to force someone to reveal their sect’s ultimate skills.
However, Nie Shentong’s mindset is somewhat too narrow.
Ning Daoran sighed, feeling emotional about how he cannot act unrestrainedly like a Demon Cultivator in handling these matters, which indeed complicates things. If he were to use force, with the attitude shown just now, he could forcibly obtain the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, which would entail destroying Dragon Martial Mountain.
But if he did so, wouldn’t he truly become a Demon Cultivator?
After becoming a Demon Cultivator, what would he do when he meets his Young Junior Sister again? He could even imagine the disappointment on her face, her heartache as she asks, “Senior Brother, how could you become like this?” “Senior Brother, is there really no turning back for you?” “If so, do not blame your junior sister for being heartless” and so on.
Would this situation turn into the same scene that happened with Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi?
Thinking of this, Ning Daoran’s scalp tingled. This must never happen.
He still needed the latter part of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, but there was no rush. He would wait for the right opportunity. What Ning Daoran needed to do now was to stay in the pharmacy and wait for the chance to act.
Continue cultivating.
Ning Daoran soon found a problem: the ninth layer of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture could not advance an inch further, even if more True Blood Pills and time refining investments were made. To make further progress, he would have to obtain the second part of the scripture to complete the mental method in order to continue cultivating towards higher realms.
Well, set it aside for now.
He frowned and decided to use the remaining time refining to cultivate the Eternal Green Technique.
Meditate, entering the years of time refining.
Instantly, green clouds of smoke rose above his head, and he entered into a mysterious state. In no time, the power of the Evergreen Technique within him changed continuously and became ever more profound.
“Phew…”
Ning Daoran opened his eyes, exhaling a turbid breath.
After dedicating nearly two hundred and fifty thousand years to refining time, the Eternal Green Technique reached even greater heights, now at the twenty-second layer!
At this moment, his lifespan reached two thousand eight hundred and thirty years, almost enough to rival the age of three Nascent Soul Old Monsters combined. It was truly defying the heavens, enough to make Golden Core Ancestors stomp their feet in envy and Nascent Soul Old Monsters weep into the night.
Ning Daoran rose to his feet and stepped into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven. Using the twenty-second layer of the Evergreen Technique to sense the vitality of the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, he felt the vitality of this place was even more prosperous, and he could perceive some divine mysteries that he could not before.
“Young Master.”
Little Bai walked over gracefully and said, “If Nie Shentong is unwilling to hand over the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, then let it be. I see that his lifespan is not much longer. Young Master, you might as well wait. Once Nie Shentong dies, no one will be able to stop you. You can Soul Search him before his seventh-day memorial after death. The soul of the newly deceased will have complete memories, and you will certainly be able to find the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture.”
“Good advice.”
Ning Daoran nodded with a smile: “I was thinking the same.”
Little Baili smiled with shallow dimples.
She looks so beautiful, such a pity she’s not human.
“Old Lu!”
Ning Daoran spoke gravely: “Continue to cultivate. Time waits for no one. Shouldn’t you speed up your entry into the middle stage of Golden Core? I have been waiting for you for a long time. Feel the urgency!”
“Yo yo yo~~”
Big Stupid Deer bellowed and then stopped smithing to begin practicing the Shape-shifting Technique.
In the Jade Spirit Spring, Little Blackie and Green Water Turtle were also inspired and started to cultivate tirelessly. For a while, the learning atmosphere in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven reached its peak!
…
Months later.
A heavy rain fell on Ji City, leaving the pharmacy with sparse business.
Ning Daoran, holding a stool, sat at the pharmacy’s doorway, watching the raindrops outside, the size of pearls, patter against the ground, reminiscent of the childhood fun of watching the rain.
“Hey, that’s not quite right…”
He frowned. There seemed to be something different about the raindrops.
Thus, he extended his Golden Core Divine Sense, carefully investigating the puddles formed on the ground by the rainwater. When his Divine Sense permeated them, he couldn’t feel that strange sensation any longer.
A little weird, but no clues could be found.
“Bang!”
Right away, Ning Daoran closed the pharmacy’s door, raised two arrays, and laid out more than twenty prohibitions, securing the pharmacy completely within them!
Ever since his ascension to Golden Core, Ning Daoran had always trusted his premonitions, and the intuition of a well-grounded Golden Core Cultivator wasn’t unfounded.
Since the peculiarity of the rain was beyond investigation, he would not explore it. Closing the shop and being safeguarded by the arrays was the utmost priority.
“Young Master…”
Chi Susu was surprised: “Why close the door so early today?”
“`
“It’s fine.”
Ning Daoran shook his head: “Our business is good, our profits high; closing the shop for one day due to the heavy rain is no big deal. Later, I’ll have Old Lu prepare, and we’ll have hot pot tonight.”
“Great!”
Chi Susu nodded happily.
Originally, there was no such thing as hot pot in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, but after following Ning Daoran, she had experienced the charm of this delicacy—spicy soup base, crunchy beef tripe, slippery fatty beef, and fragrant shrimp paste, truly the taste of heaven.
…
The torrential rain continued until late into the night before stopping. Around midnight, noise from the outside came in.
After deactivating his array formation restriction, Ning Daoran saw a group of townspeople carrying baskets heading out of the city.
“What’s going on?”
He curiously stopped a neighbor: “Mr. Zhang, what’s everyone up to?”
“Oh, it’s Divine Doctor Ning…”
Mr. Zhang was holding a small bamboo basket and smiled: “There was a heavy rain last night, and I heard that mushrooms have grown on the mountain outside the city, and they’re big ones too. Gathering a lot can be sold for money, so everyone is heading up the mountain, planning to pick some to supplement the household. I can’t talk more; this old man also needs to head up the mountain.”
Saying this, the old man hurriedly followed the crowd out of the city.
It wasn’t just ordinary people who left the city; there were also many Martial Arts Academy Disciples, including one very familiar disciple who came over and said: “Divine Doctor Ning, why aren’t you heading to the mountain? Those Cultivators said last night’s rainfall was an auspicious sign. Not only did many mushrooms grow on the mountain outside the city, but there is also red mountain meat, which is said to be the legendary Blood Tai Sui. A pound could be worth twenty Spirit Stones. Our Martial Arts Academy people went up the mountain early in the morning. Aren’t you going to see the excitement?”
“Red mountain meat…”
Ning Daoran furrowed his brows, already somewhat tempted. The red mountain meat is known as Blood Tai Sui Meat, growing on a being called Blood Tai Sui. For Blood Qi Martial Artists, it is a great tonic. The Blood Essence contained in Blood Tai Sui Meat is incredibly rich, comparable to the Golden Dragon Spirit Carp, and if he could capture a Blood Tai Sui to raise, it would be much more cost-effective than the Golden Dragon Spirit Carp.
Whether it’s for his own cultivation of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture or the future training of several Spiritual Beasts, a large amount of Blood Food is needed. This chunk of Blood Tai Sui is extremely important to the Ning Family Army!
“Old Lu!”
Ning Daoran tapped on the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven lightly, saying: “You guys keep cultivating well inside the Grotto Heaven. I’m going to the mountain outside the city to see if there’s really such a thing as Blood Tai Sui.”
Last time, in Fanshu City, he missed a Green Tai Sui, and now that he has encountered the even better Blood Tai Sui, how could Ning Daoran easily let it pass?
Therefore, he floated away from the pharmacy, and after entering the clouds, he quickly transformed into Independent Practitioner Jianjia and, wielding a Third-order Magical Treasure level Qiushui Sword, rushed towards the back mountain.
…
By this time, the perimeter of the back mountain was already full of incessant activity of locals, everywhere throughout the hills.
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes and released his Divine Sense to scan the mountain. Indeed, after the storm, on the deadwood, soil, and under rocks, suitable places for growth, mushrooms broke through the ground. These mushrooms were often as thick as a forearm, full and vibrant in color, with red caps and white stems.
‘My god…’
Ning Daoran was somewhat speechless. Not sure whether they were edible or not, but the people were frantically grabbing them.
He flew on the wind and soon reached a mountain peak.
As expected, in the steeper parts of the peak, chunks of mountain meat really grew out of the crevices in the cliff. The outer layer of these meats was a murky color, but once cut open, the inside was green—Green Tai Sui. And just at some of the depressions where the Green Tai Sui had been cut, underneath there was already revealed patches of red meat.
It was indeed Blood Tai Sui!
Ning Daoran’s heart was excited, and he quickly cast a spell to activate Earth Escape and entered the subterranean depths, searching within the mountain’s veins for that precious Blood Tai Sui!
Unfortunately, the Blood Tai Sui meat within the mountain spread in all directions, like tiny red veins. Although Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense could see these veins, he couldn’t find the true source.
This was very different from last time when he looked for Green Tai Sui. Could it be that Blood Tai Sui was even craftier?
“Quick, there’s some Blood Tai Sui over there too!”
Voices came from above the ground.
Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense scouted the area and immediately furrowed his brows. It was people from Dragon Martial Mountain, a Golden Core Early Stage Elder directing a group of Condensed Liquid Realm Disciples in cutting the meat. A group of disciples held specially-made sickles, with big baskets strapped to their backs, their faces filled with excitement.
The rain on the mountain had just ended, and the air was fresh; the Blood Food growing on the cliff was particularly tempting.
“Humph~~”
Ning Daoran’s gaze was indifferent. A man’s greed knows no bounds, a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Dragon Martial Mountain clearly already has a Blood Tai Sui to provide endless Blood Food every year, but unexpectedly, they still come to snatch opportunities outside. Dragon Martial Mountain, known as a regional overlord, is truly domineering, giving no chance for the other martial arts schools in Ji City.
In the air, a figure whizzed by.
Nie Shentong.
The old man constantly moved from one mountain peak to another, clearly looking for that Blood Tai Sui hidden underground.
…
Ning Daoran didn’t bother with them; you find yours, I find mine.
He quickly tunneled through the earth below, following the veins of the Blood Tai Sui. If one mountain peak yielded nothing, then he’d switch to another. With his Earth Tunneling Divine Ability, hunting Blood Tai Sui was much more convenient than for a Baodan Realm Martial Artist.

If there truly was a Blood Tai Sui underground, he must be the first to get it.
Not long after, just as Ning Daoran tunneled to a remote peak, he faintly smelled a strong scent of blood!
