Chapter 50: Killing and Drinking Blood

Back in his inn room, Zhang Chen eagerly flipped through ‘Flying Feather Soaring Technique’.
Since there were no side effects, the modifier did not give any warnings.
However, using the Flying Feather Soaring Technique required magic power. He was currently only at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, unable to practice without magic power.
Zhang Chen had also considered cultivating in the market, but cultivating required not only magic power but also the transformation of the body into a spiritual body.
Otherwise, his body would be like a bucket filled with water. The spiritual energy he absorbed would leak out, making it impossible to break through the bottleneck of the realm.
The Blood Ignition Technique was a sudden eruption of a huge amount of spiritual power, like a fountain, which could break through the bottleneck of the realm.
Zhang Chen had heard that the spiritual body of the Blood God Sect was a Blood Body. After condensing, the body would not have fatal injuries. Even if the head was chopped off or the heart was pierced, it would not die, making it incredibly powerful.
He did not have a way to condense the Blood Body and had to return to the sect. Using other methods to cultivate might cause trouble.
Since he was unable to practice the Flying Feather Soaring Technique now, he could only memorize it as much as possible, so that he could quickly get the hang of it and successfully use it when he broke through the Foundation Establishment stage temporarily with the Blood Ignition Technique.
For 10 consecutive days, Zhang Chen devoured and refined demon blood. If he ran out of demon blood, he would buy more in the market.
With his top-grade spiritual roots and the ability to freely devour demon blood, he could refine 10 barrels of demon blood and obtain 60 bowls of blood essence without stopping for 24 hours.
After deducting the time spent buying demon blood and exchanging it for spirit stones, he saved 520 bowls of blood essence in 10 days.
Now that he had enough blood essence, even if he encountered that ghost-controlling Daoist priest again, he had a chance to fight back.
Therefore, Zhang Chen decided to complete the sect’s tasks and avoid being punished by the sect.
Leaving the market, he rode on a horse demon and rushed towards the city assigned by the sect.
A day later.
Zhang Chen looked up at the city plaque in front of him, ‘Wan City’.
“Yes, this is the city assigned to me by the sect. If I have the help of the officials, testing the spiritual roots of the entire city will be much faster.” Zhang Chen dismounted and walked into the city.
Wan City was a prosperous and large city. It was also a prefectural city.
In modern terms, it was a city at the municipal level.
In the magistrate’s office, two inner sect disciples of the Blood God Sect were eating delicacies while several beautiful maidservants massaged their shoulders and back to serve them.
“Mortals are still the most comfortable. If not for the curse, I wouldn’t even want to return to the sect,” an inner sect disciple said with a look of enjoyment.
Another inner sect disciple agreed. “That’s right. The sect placed a curse on us because they were afraid that we would run away. Isn’t the mission half a year long? Let’s stay with him for three months first.”
“By the way, didn’t the sect assign three people to a city? We’ve been here for two days. Why isn’t the other one here yet?”
“It’s even better if they don’t come. We’ll split the disciples with spiritual roots equally.”
At this moment, the fat magistrate rushed over. “Immortals, another immortal is here.”
“Oh? We were just talking about it when he came. Go and bring him here,” the two inner sect disciples said casually.
“Yes.”
The magistrate was ordered around like a servant. Not only did he not complain, but he also had a fawning expression.
After a while, the magistrate brought Zhang Chen over.
The two originally nonchalant inner sect disciples hurriedly stood up and bowed when they sensed that Zhang Chen was at the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
“Junior Brother Huang Qi greets Senior Brother.”
“Junior Brother Shen Rong greets Senior Brother.”
“Zhang Chen greets the two junior brothers.” Zhang Chen glanced at them.
These two were both at the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
When he left the sect, he also displayed a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
In this case, the sect divides people with similar cultivation levels to prevent those with higher cultivation levels from attacking those with lower cultivation levels.
“Senior Zhang, please have a seat and enjoy the meal. Although these ordinary foods don’t have any spiritual energy, they taste much better than fasting pills,” Huang Qi enthusiastically invited.
“Yes, yes, yes. Senior Brother, please have a seat,” Shen Rong said ingratiatingly.
Zhang Chen nodded, found a seat, and began to taste the delicacies.
To be honest, the food was pretty good.
Huang Qi then instructed the maids behind him, “Go over and serve my Senior
Brother Zhang.”
“No need, thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother Huang. I’m not used to Demg servea wnlle eating,” Lnang cnen aecnnea.
“Then, Senior Brother, try this bear paw. It tastes great,” Huang Qi recommended another dish.
Zhang Chen picked up his chopsticks and began to inquire about business,
“How long have you been here? Have you started testing for spiritual roots?”
“Senior Brother, we just arrived two days ago and have not started testing yet. In order to detect more disciples with spiritual roots, we had the prefecture send people to gather people from nearby villages to test together,” Huang Qi replied.
“I’m short on time, so let’s test the people in the city first. Then, I’ll take away one-third of those with spiritual roots, and you can continue testing the rest,” Zhang Chen needed to guard against the Daoist priest who could control ghosts and didn’t want to stay outside for too long.
“Since Senior Brother said so, let’s do it this way,” Huang Qi turned to the prefecture and commanded, “Did you hear that? Go and notify all the people in the city to gather, or I’ll kill your entire family!”
The magistrate trembled and quickly replied, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll arrange it now.”
“Senior Brother Zhang, let’s eat. If it’s not enough, I’ll get someone to make more.”
“Thank you, Junior Brother Huang.”
Shen Rong had just picked up a piece of meat, but due to the maid’s back Imocking action, the meat on the chopsticks fell onto the table.
Shen Rong’s expression instantly became ferocious. “Didn’t you see that I was picking up food? How dare you use so much force!”
“Immortal, spare me, spare me, spare me…” The maid cried in fear, immediately kneeling down and begging for mercy while kowtowing hard.
Shen Rong grinned hideously. Blood coagulated in his hand as he turned around and slashed.
“Thud…’
The maid’s head was chopped off, and blood splattered everywhere.
“Ah!” The other maids screamed in terror and collapsed on the ground.
Shen Rong licked the blood on his face and sniffed the smell of blood in the air with an intoxicated expression.
Suddenly, his face turned cold again. “I’m eating. How dare you expel filth?
You’re ruining my appetite!”
“Pfft!” Another maidservant was killed by Shen Rong.
It turned out that this maidservant had been scared out of her wits.
Huang Qi picked up the bowl and went to the corpse to collect the blood. “Although the spiritual energy of this person’s blood is thin, it tastes sweeter than demon blood. I can’t waste it.”
“It’s not satisfying to drink like this. You have to drink like this.” Shen Rong grabbed a maid and, like a zombie, bit into her snow-white neck, sucking her blood.
The side effects of the Blood Nerve Technique appeared in Zhang Chen’s mind: It was easy to be affected by the spiritual effects contained in the blood, becoming bloodthirsty, murderous, insane, and even brain dead. The side effects of bloodthirst were vividly displayed in these two people.
The Blood God Sect was indeed a demonic sect!
Within the sect, demon blood was distributed every day, so the symptoms of bloodthirst were not obvious.
Moreover, under the restrictions of the sect rules, the urge to kill was not manifested.
But once outside the sect, these side effects manifested themselves.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Blood God Sect disciples, these were not side effects, but normal expressions.
Huang Qi handed a bowl filled with human blood to Zhang Chen. “Senior
Brother Zhang, please help yourself to this..”
