This is a Nine Netherworld Fruit with fire attribute.

Jiang Li was very distressed before, wondering whether he should take the water-type Nine Nether Fruit or the fire-type one.

As of now, this pseudo spiritual root obtained by taking the Nine Nether Earth Fruit can only increase one.

The water-attributed spiritual energy can enhance his Nine Ghost Spirits' spiritual energy, making the power of the spiritual energy even greater.

Even if the fire-attributed spiritual energy is of ordinary skill, it can be blessed by the nine ghost spirits and possess extraordinary power.

These two options made Jiang Li very conflicted and he found it difficult to choose between them.

But thinking about it later, he realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

If he needed the blessing of water-attributed spiritual energy, why did he have to practice by himself? Asking other water-attributed cultivators to help him pass some spiritual energy to him would have the same effect.

So at that time, after the first round of the competition, Jiang Li went to look for Senior Sister Qiyu. Although he didn't find her at that time and was later interrupted by the attack on Shengxian Pavilion, Jiang Li did not forget this incident.

After returning to the sect, he went to see Senior Sister Qi Yu again.

After he made Senior Sister Qi Yu, who was on the Luoshen Ranking, so tired that her face turned red with sweat and her cherry lips slightly parted and she was breathing heavily, he left with satisfaction.

And got such a gain.

[A large amount of water-attributed spiritual energy enters the body, the five elements are mutually generated, and the water spirit generates wood (foundation building) and acts on oneself. 】

[Water Spirits Produce Wood (Foundation Building): Wood attribute aura recovery speed increases by 100%, wood attribute aura strength increases by 50%, health recovers by 15 points per second, fire attribute resistance increases by 30 points, duration is 10 minutes.] (-+)

After Jiang Li set this status to infinite duration, it was equivalent to having a permanent pendant named Senior Sister Qiyu on his body.

Although Senior Sister Qi Yu's fighting ability is not very strong, she is one of the best disciples in Huichun Hall. She is also in the foundation-building stage, so the quality of her spiritual energy is naturally good, which helps Jiang Li to make further progress.

A water-attributed cultivator in the foundation-building stage has been continuously infusing him with spiritual energy. The effect is much better than if he eats a Nine Nether Earth Fruit and then casually practices a technique.

So Jiang Li finally decided to get himself a spiritual root with fire attribute.

Snap!

When the fiery red earth fruit enters the stomach, the taste is dense and fragrant, which is different from the earth fruits with wood and yin attributes.

Soon, a strange feeling began to grow rapidly in his body.

Is this the feeling of a pseudo-spiritual root growing? Jiang Li felt that wonderful experience, casually took out a piece of volcanic ore and crushed it in his hand, and the fire attribute spiritual energy that emerged from it was immediately captured by him clearly.

This is the bad thing about being on Shuixing Peak. The fire attribute spiritual energy is suppressed terribly.

However, Jiang Li did not care. He used talisman paper to set up a formation to isolate the spiritual energy in the room from the outside world. Then he pulled down the storage bag at his waist and poured out a pile of high-quality volcanic rocks.

He then pulled out a gourd of red ginseng wine, uncorked it, and poured it all onto the pile of volcanic rocks.

Suddenly, a blazing fire rose up, and the strong smell of alcohol instantly filled the whole room.

With Jiang Li's physique, he felt intoxicated when he smelled the alcohol. If he drank it, even if he was a Jindan cultivator, he would probably have a deep sleep for three days.

The total price of this volcanic stone and red ginseng wine is at least three thousand spirit stones.

But that didn't worry him, as these things were included as part of the apology from Shengxian Pavilion.

After all, it is an investment for his own future, so Jiang Li will not be careless.

Now that the training environment is ready, all that’s missing is a suitable fire-attributed technique.

It just so happened that among the many fire-attributed techniques, there was one that was both familiar to him and powerful, which could come in handy at this moment.

That, of course, is the Shushan sword art that the sword cultivator's clone practices, the Wine, Fire and Sword Song! Now Jiang Li has both a fire attribute spiritual root (fake) and a sword heart talent (fake), so what's wrong with practicing the real Wine, Fire and Sword Song?

He took off his clothes, stepped directly into the blazing fire, and sat cross-legged on the pile of volcanic rocks.

He was burned by the fierce spiritual fire, but unfortunately, with Jiang Li's current fire resistance, this kind of fire was still far from being able to hurt him.

Generally speaking, it takes some time for a normal spiritual root seed to grow well, but as a cultivator who has practiced the Nine Nether Dao Sutra and is the owner of a Nine Nether branch, Jiang Li has a way to speed up this process.

Soon, Jiang Li, who was in the flames, felt the cultivation power flowing into his body.

With his understanding of the Song of Wine, Fire and Sword, there was no possibility of error, and he completed the circulation in his body with one success.

He began to refine the endless fire-attributed cultivation base, and the blazing wine and fire energy that filled his body was also drawn into his body, transforming into the cultivation base of the Wine, Fire and Sword Song.

Coupled with the fact that water creates wood and wood creates fire, the blessing of the nine ghost spirits, and the continuous influx of high-quality spiritual energy, the first wine and fire spiritual energy he cultivated was of extremely high quality.

The wine and fire spiritual energy at the initial stage of Qi training is almost as strong as that at the later stage of Qi training.

Even Jiang Li himself did not expect that the fire spiritual root that he thought was better than nothing could actually reach this level.

However, as Jiuhuo Jiange's skills improved rapidly, Jiang Li discovered that he had made a serious mistake.

The Nine Nether Earth Fruit that he took, contained a fire attribute that had reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage.

However, the Drunken Sword Song is not a perverted martial art like the Nine Nether Dao Sutra, where one level of cultivation requires several levels of ordinary cultivation.

In other words, just by eating this Nine Netherworld Fruit, he could advance the Drunken Fire Sword Song to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

And now, with the combined blessing of so many cultivation enhancements, his cultivation level was actually moving straight towards the foundation-building stage without stopping.

Jiang Li was shocked. If he built his foundation with fake spiritual roots, his future path to becoming an immortal would be at least ten times more difficult.

He quickly pulled two parallel consciousnesses together for an emergency meeting.

The sword cultivator's clone was flying high in the sky at this time. He was almost dropped from the sky when he heard his shout. He quickly stabilized himself on the Burning Rainbow Sword before responding to Jiang Li.

After some communication, fortunately the sword cultivator's clone had a deep understanding of the Drunken Sword Song and had studied it in the Shushan Secret Treasures for several months, so he immediately remembered the Life-Burning Technique in it.

Bloody Sword Pill!

This is also a powerful and high-cost spell. The sword cultivator clone also knows it, but he has never used it. Because for ordinary cultivators, using this spell a few more times may lead to death.

Just before Jiuhuo Jiange was about to break through to the foundation building stage, Jiang Li's face suddenly turned pale.

His fire-type cultivation also dropped sharply three times, and finally the cultivation in the Nine Nether Earth Fruit was completely consumed, and his wine and fire cultivation safely stayed at the ninth level of Qi training.

He took out the gourd that contained the red ginseng wine and spat out three small blood-red beads.

Otherwise, why do they say that a swordsman who can't burn his life is not a good swordsman?

He, a pirated swordsman who had only learned the art for a few hours, could actually use the life-threatening move of the Blood-Dropping Sword Pill.

Each of those three sword pills condensed a large amount of his spiritual energy and five years of life! The thirty years of life he had gained from eating the Nine Nether Earth Fruit had not even warmed up yet, and in the blink of an eye, half of it was gone.

Pursing his lips, Jiang Li stood up from the extinguished fire, opened his mouth and took a breath, sweeping away the smell of alcohol that still permeated the air and storing it away.

He spread out his palms and thought about it. Immediately, a ball of explosive spiritual fire rose from his palms, burning the air and causing it to distort.

Suddenly, the spiritual fire that was originally burning gently suddenly shot up to a height of more than one person, and its color turned dark green and black. Just one glance at it made people feel creepy from the bottom of their hearts.

Jiang Li quickly extinguished the spiritual fire, but the roof above had already been burned black.

Fortunately, he was very cautious and restrained when using his spiritual energy, otherwise if he had used a little more spiritual energy, he would have directly ripped the roof off the person's house.

However, the wine and fire spiritual energy after being blessed by the nine ghost spirits did not disappoint Jiang Li. This level was enough to serve as the icing on the cake for him.

However, adding icing on the cake is not his ultimate goal. So far, Jiang Li is actually just doing the preparatory work.

He turned and looked at a large vat in the room.

He had just asked a female cultivator from Shuixing Peak for it. There were still some water stains and a few petals left in the jar, and he didn't know what it was used for.

But no matter what its original use was, Jiang Li now plans to use it to make himself into soup.

Jiang Li is going to practice getting his fifth beast blood tattoo here!

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Before, after returning to the sect after the competition, Elder He actually wanted to help Jiang Li find a new beast-blood tattoo.

But Jiang Li found an excuse to temporarily decline.

Later, Elder He thought about it and decided that the secret realm on the Five Elements Peak of Shu Mountain just happened to contain some pretty good monsters, and he had to come to Shu Mountain anyway.

He asked Jiang Li to bring the necessary medicines from the Beast Blood Atlas to Shushan, and then find beast blood to condense blood patterns.

This was exactly what Jiang Li was thinking, but in the warehouse of the Demon Subduing Hall, he took away two doses of medicine at once.

That’s because Jiang Li planned to condense two sets of blood patterns in succession within a short period of time.

Moreover, the beast blood material he was going to use was too special and not convenient to let others know, so he deliberately avoided Elder He and condensed the beast blood tattoo alone.

That is a magical fish that should have become extinct in ancient times, the Nephilim tetra!

Due to the incident of two Jindan sword cultivators massacring the southern Indian country, the underwater cemetery of the Mazu River is now almost at the center of public attention.

If someone discovered the ghost tetra living there, and he blatantly took out this ancient fish, anyone could figure out that he had a connection with that place.

Therefore, he couldn't let even Elder He know that he had the ghost tetra.

"My little cuties, I'm sorry for you this time."

Jiang Li took out a sealed wooden barrel from his storage bag. Now that the burial coffin was not with him, he could only make do with this.

Tear off the talisman paper, open the lid of the barrel, and a strong yin energy will spread out.

In the wooden barrel, nine fat, ugly, devil-looking tetras were twisting restlessly.

Today, they seemed to sense something was wrong. These ancient fish had been living leisurely for who knows how many years, but now finally humans raised the butcher knife against them again.

Jiang Li caught a ghost tetra in his hand and let it struggle and wiggle in his hand, but it could not escape from this evil clutches no matter what.

Even the Ghost Lantern's most powerful weapon, the Soul-Burning Ghost Lantern, no longer posed any threat.

Because a small cloth bag was wrapped around its ghost lantern, and the mouth of the bag was tied tightly so that the flame could not contact the outside world at all.

This was the solution Jiang Li finally found after searching through the two sects' books on exotic beasts.

The flame of the ghost lantern of the ghost fish can burn souls and burn out ghosts, which is extremely terrifying, but its temperature is really not high, and it is even a little cold, so it cannot burn through even a thin layer of cloth.

It takes a thousand days to raise a fish, but only a moment to use it! Jiang Li raised his knife and first cut off the lantern hanging in front of the head of the lantern fish, then cut open the belly of the fish, drained the black blood, and then directly took out the still beating heart.

There isn't much blood in fish, but the blood from nine ghost tetras is probably enough for him to draw a bloody tattoo.

After some processing, Jiang Li obtained a small basin of black fish blood and nine still beating hearts.

He grabbed the huge water jar with one hand and placed the jar filled with water on the pile of volcanic rocks that he had not put away after practicing.

He raised his hand and shot out a ball of spiritual fire, which started to burn on the volcanic rocks and quickly boiled the water in the vat.

He poured the medicines into it one by one, strictly following the steps. This time he was lucky, as he had complete control over the temperature, and nothing went wrong.

After pouring the heart and blood of the ghost tetra, the entire tank of potion turned pitch black, and as it boiled and rolled, it spread an unbearable stench.

Jiang Li subconsciously took a step back. His body instinctively resisted the tank of black water, but he was determined to obtain the flame of the ghost tetra.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth and jumped in. He resisted the nausea caused by the stench and his instinctive resistance, and tried his best to run the Beast Blood Atlas.

Entering the spiritual world again, nine ghost lanterns made of blood mist also appeared.

Fish blood is black, so the ghost tetra, which is formed by blood evil, is naturally black as well.

But don’t underestimate the ghost tetra because it is weak. These nine blood demons can be quite troublesome.

You know, what does the ghost fish eat for many years? It is ghosts! Because of the loss of the barrier of the flesh, when people become ghosts, they will absorb and accumulate all kinds of bad things in the surrounding environment.

Some sects even believe that ghosts are a collection of all dirty, evil and negative things!

The ghost lantern fish, which eats ghosts all year round, naturally accumulates a lot of spiritual garbage in its blood. This is also the reason why its blood is black.

Wherever these nine ghost tetras passed, the land of Jiang Li’s spiritual world was directly dyed dark.

[Corrupted by the black blood of the ghost lantern, mental pollution affects oneself. 】

[Mental pollution: negative emotions are amplified, malicious hallucinations breed, spirit drops by 20%, understanding drops by 30%, duration is 6 months] (-+)

[Status Jindan Daoxin takes effect, some effects of mental pollution are resisted, and the duration is shortened. ]

Seeing this, Jiang Li's brows twitched wildly. These fish were really too much. A mental fight is a mental fight, but what about you polluting my spiritual world?

You guys... have no moral principles!

The sword cultivator's clone immediately slashed with his sword, turning all nine ghost lanterns into black mist.

Under the light of the full moon in the sky that had merged with the sword's heart, the black fog, which was not strong to begin with, quickly dissipated, leaving only a black scar on the spiritual world.

After pressing the minus sign for five seconds, the dark and filthy feeling in the spiritual world slowly faded away and disappeared.

And Jiang Li finally got the beast blood tattoo belonging to the ghost lantern fish.

[The Beast Blood Atlas successfully records the Beast Blood, and the Ghost Lantern Blood Pattern acts on itself. ]

[Ghost Lantern Blood Mark: Spiritual attribute +1, nurturing the talent of Soul-burning Ghost Lantern, duration 1 day] (-+)
