In the General Affairs Hall, Guo Chuanzhi brought someone before the Nascent Soul cultivator, Bai Shui True Monarch.

Bai Shui True Monarch was the second Nascent Soul from the master-disciple lineage. She was merely four hundred and eighty years old, and her Cultivation was already considered profound for the Early Stage Nascent Soul realm.

Among the Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators, her chances of advancing to the Divinity Transformation realm were second only to the Sect Leader’s. Before Yang Jing burst onto the scene, she was the most talented disciple the Five Elements True Spirit Sect had seen in the last five hundred years.

Bai Shui True Monarch sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman, but the heavy, abyssal pressure emanating from her was so immense that no one dared to look at her directly.

"True Monarch, this is the disciple who has been practicing the Blood Spirit Scripture."

Cheng Xianzhi stood beside Guo Chuanzhi, his expression tense as he trembled with fear.

He was just an ordinary Outer Disciple. Aside from his older cousin being an Inner Sect Disciple of the master-disciple lineage, he was no different from any other Outer Disciple.

Bai Shui True Monarch had long since cultivated her Grotto Dark Dharma Eye to the Third Layer realm. The moment she opened her Dharma Eye, she saw every detail about Cheng Xianzhi with crystal clarity.

The first thing she praised, however, was Yang Jing’s swordsmanship.

’What fierce swordsmanship. No wonder he could master the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition.’

Human skin varies in thickness, yet Yang Jing could peel off an entire sheet with a single sword strike without harming the flesh beneath in the slightest. This demonstrated the superb level of his swordsmanship.

After a moment, Bai Shui True Monarch waved her hand, dismissing Cheng Xianzhi.

"This Blood Spirit Scripture appears heretical, but it is an orthodox Taoist Sect cultivation technique. I originally thought the magical power it produced would lean toward the yin and cold, but it is unexpectedly abundant in yang properties. Not only is its cultivation progress fast, but it even has the effect of Body Refinement. That Yang Jing has indeed comprehended a truly remarkable cultivation technique," she said, somewhat surprised.

"With Junior Brother Yang’s talent, he can indeed achieve things ordinary people cannot," Guo Chuanzhi said, feeling a sense of pride by association.

"The Eastern Army Governor’s Mansion recently sent battle reports. After the death of the West Sea Great Saint, the demons in the sea have grown restless, frequently raiding the Eastern Border of the Western Continent. There have been more than ten conflicts in the past month alone. Few cultivators from our Six Sects are skilled in naval combat, so we can only defend passively, facing alerts everywhere. This Blood Spirit Scripture has an extremely strong restraining effect on those demons with abundant qi and blood. It even grants a Blood Escape technique similar to Water Escape. It might prove to be of great use in the Eastern Domain."

Even with the Sect’s strong support, it would take a century for a new cultivation technique to show any significant results. But for Bai Shui, a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a long lifespan, a hundred years was neither long nor short. She could well afford to wait.

Although Yang Jing didn’t know about the conversation in the General Affairs Hall, he could feel the Sect’s support.

The entire mountain range where his Cave Mansion was located had been assigned to Yang Jing. The Household Affairs Hall had even dispatched artisans to build quarters on a Land of Spirit Veins for these Outer Disciples to cultivate. This also allowed Yang Jing to observe the changes in their bodies up close.

"Master, while practicing the Blood Spirit Scripture these past few days, I’ve felt a dull, aching pain in my Celestial Pool Acupoint. It only stops when I cease my cultivation."

Yang Changjin, the oldest of the nine Outer Disciples, spoke to Yang Jing with great worry.

Yang Jing glanced at him using his Bright Qi Talent and discovered that his Cultivation had already reached the Perfection of the First Layer of Qi Cultivation. He was on the verge of Acupoint Breaking.

"Have you been cultivating day and night these past few days, without a moment’s rest?"

Yang Changjin’s original Cultivation had been at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, so his meridians were resilient. He hadn’t suffered any meridian damage from cultivating too hard.

"Yes, Master. I have indeed been forgetting to eat or sleep," Yang Changjin said anxiously. He was already fifty-two years old. If he didn’t seize the time to cultivate, he would soon pass the sixty-year limit. At that point, even with the Foundation Establishment Pill provided by Yang Jing, his chances of successfully reaching Foundation Establishment would be incredibly slim.

"You are about to break through your first acupoint," Yang Jing explained.

The Blood Spirit Scripture, much like the Supreme Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture, cultivated both Body Refinement and Qi Cultivation. The Blood God’s Magical Power it produced also had the power for Acupoint Breaking.

He had included the Acupoint Breaking method from the True Yang Body in the Blood Spirit Scripture. However, because Yang Changjin had only ever practiced Qi Cultivation Techniques before, he only half-understood it. The dull, aching pain in his Celestial Pool Acupoint was clearly a sign that the acupoint was about to be broken through, but he had mistaken it for a problem with the cultivation technique.

Aside from Yang Changjin, however, some of the other Outer Disciples did indeed encounter flaws in the cultivation technique, helping Yang Jing to perfect it.

For the next six months, Yang Jing spent his time guiding the nine Outer Disciples in their practice of the Blood Spirit Scripture and studying the refining technique for the Five Fire Divine Thunder.

Because these Outer Disciples were all cases of Abandoned Cultivation and Re-Cultivation, the resilience of their Divine Sense and meridians surpassed that of true Early Stage Qi Cultivation cultivators. Their cultivation speed was not slow.

Among them, the one who progressed the fastest, Yang Changjin, had even reached the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation.

During this time, Yang Jing even took them to spar in magical combat with the newly admitted B Class Outer Disciples. Compared to the Five Talisman Scripture, the Blood Spirit Scripture, much like the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture, showed itself to have an extremely strong Power of Magical Combat. Out of nine magical combat bouts, they actually won five.

One must understand that these Outer Disciples’ Cultivation was only at the Second or Third Layer of Qi Cultivation, while some of the talented disciples in B Class had already reached the Seventh Layer.

This result instantly attracted many other Outer Disciples. These disciples struggled to win even a single match in the Sect’s grand competition, and the Blood Spirit Scripture gave them new hope.

To expand his sample size, Yang Jing took in another twenty Outer Disciples to test the cultivation technique, but this new batch would not be receiving any Foundation Establishment Pills.

Naturally, his gains over the past six months were not limited to the Blood Spirit Scripture. After refining about three hundred different Gourd Magical Artifacts, he finally settled on a refining technique for the Immortal Vine Gourd.
