Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 575: Chapter 572: The Method to Exchange Blood Crystals (8 Updates!)

This was the Phoenix Sect’s sixth year since its founding, and up until now, among nearly 60,000 disciples, he was the second individual to be granted a title!

No one objected to Su Han’s words. When Su Han had previously bestowed a title upon Shen Li, there had been some dissent, but Shen Li, having now stepped into the Dragon Emperor Realm, had become the sole Dragon Emperor within the Phoenix Sect!

Given Su Han’s insight, there must be solid reasoning behind granting Ling Qinghai a title.

Ling Qinghai had already refined the Cloud Auspicious Holy Pill, and from this alone, the title of Pill Demon Holy Master was truly well-deserved!

Moreover, even if some still disagreed with the title, they dared not voice their opinions.

From the moment the Alchemical Lineage was separated, disciples from the Martial Path knew that their future cultivation would largely depend on the Alchemical Lineage.

Offending a disciple of the Alchemical Lineage was essentially making an enemy of oneself.

”I grant to the Alchemical Lineage seven hundred disciples, apart from the Five Divine Guard Corps, they may freely choose, with those possessing alchemical talent as a priority,” Su Han’s voice rang out once again.

”Whoosh!”

A figure rushed out from Pill Mountain and arrived in front of the valley, bowing slightly to Su Han.

”Thank you, Sect Master.”

This person was Ling Qinghai.

Having broken through to the late stage of the Dragon God Realm, his entire demeanor had changed significantly, especially the pill fragrance that pervaded his being, which gave off an immortal and wise aura.

Su Han walked out from within the valley, looking at Ling Qinghai with a complex expression and a smile.

”I know what you are thinking.”

Su Han said with a light smile, ”Perhaps in your eyes, due to my age, I should be your junior, or even younger, but my actual age is far greater than what you imagine. Frankly speaking, the time you’ve been alive doesn’t even amount to one ten-thousandth of mine.”

Ling Qinghai kept silent; he did not question Su Han’s words, for everything Su Han had done, including his way of speaking and attitude, was extremely mature.

Especially the secret techniques that Su Han mastered, along with various alchemical skills and the true understanding of herbs and plants, which Ling Qinghai, upon encountering, immediately realized were not within the reach of an ordinary person.

Just the pill formulas that Su Han had given him included no fewer than one hundred of Holy Spirit-Level, and considering the entire Dragon Martial Continent, there were probably not even one hundred of such pill formulas altogether.

Most crucially, Su Han had also given Ling Qinghai three Low-Grade Earth Nether level and one Low-Grade Heavenly Mystery level pill formulas!

Heavenly Mystery level pill formulas had long been lost in the Dragon Martial Continent, each capable of causing a tremendous uproar and contention.

Setting aside the Heavenly Mystery level pill formulas, even the Earth Nether level ones were indescribably rare, not even held by each of the Top Ten Super Sects.

”I understand,”

Ling Qinghai nodded with a self-mocking smile, ”Just from these pill formulas you have given me, I can see, it’s funny that I once thought of you as just a child...”

”That’s normal, you...”

Su Han was speaking when he suddenly stopped short.

”What did you just say?” Su Han stared at Ling Qinghai.

”I said the pill formulas you gave me...”

”Hahaha, right, the pill formulas!”

Su Han suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes filled with intense admiration as he gazed at Ling Qinghai.

”Sect Master, what is this about?” Ling Qinghai was puzzled.

Su Han laughed and shook his head, not responding.

He had finally understood, with what he should barter for those Blood Crystals!

Pill formulas, equipment sigils...

All these are possible!

Equipment sigils, much like pill formulas, are just another form of crafting, but for weapons.

”They can recognize pill formulas and equipment sigils at a glance, but whether they can actually craft them is another matter entirely!”

Su Han laughed heartily in his heart, even feeling slightly excited.

”Your life, I did not save in vain!”

Su Han said to Ling Qinghai, ”Now that you are a Pill Demon Holy Master and the highest authority in the Alchemical Lineage, in the entire Phoenix Sect, aside from me, you hold the highest status, equivalent to the Purple Demon Spirit Emperor and the Grand Elder. Now cultivate the Pill Masters well, as they are the future pillars of our Phoenix Sect. Do not disappoint me.”

As his words fell, Su Han prepared to return to the valley.

”Sect Master, wait a moment!”

Ling Qinghai, seeing him about to leave, hurriedly said, ”That... Yang Lin has a great talent for the Alchemy Dao. When in the Cold Cloud Sect, I had already taken him as my disciple, and now he has joined the Phoenix Sect...”

”I’ve said it before, I’ve granted you seven hundred Alchemical Disciples, and aside from the Five Divine Guard Corps, you are free to choose anyone you wish,” Su Han said.

”Thank you, Sect Master.”

Ling Qinghai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and watched Su Han leave.

Initially, Su Han had planned to take Yang Lin as his disciple, but Yang Lin had refused and even sneered at the idea. Ling Qinghai feared that Su Han might hold this against him, but now it seemed he had underestimated the other’s magnanimity.

...

The emergence of the Alchemical Lineage and the division among disciples had formally structured the entire Phoenix Sect.

One day, Yang Lin stood outside the valley where Su Han was located for a long time. Finally, he sighed deeply, said nothing, and turned to leave.

And under Su Han’s orders, every month, a Divine Guard Corps would lead twenty thousand disciples to alternately hunt the Extraterritorial Demons.

When the Phoenix Sect disciples did not mobilize, those Extraterritorial Demons would fall into slumber. Once mobilized, it immediately woke them.

And that towering Xius, the Great Demon God, had not awakened again, like a blood-red sun, held aloft by hundreds of thousands of Extraterritorial Demons, high in the void.

Why they fell into slumber, Su Han was somewhat puzzled, but he faintly felt it was not a good sign.

Just as their arrival at the Dragon Dance Continent wasn’t a good thing.

At the moment, studying those was of little use; under the leadership of the Divine Guard Corps and ensuring safety, the Phoenix Sect disciples would mobilize once every month.

Spirit stones, pills, and other resources had gradually become scarcer over time.

Even though Su Han had already made his many disciples use them sparingly and instructed them to only cultivate their physical bodies, after two and a half years, they had completely run out.

Fortunately, the continuous supply of Blood Crystals allowed the Phoenix Sect disciples to steadily improve their flesh cultivation.

...

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years had silently passed since the calamity spread to the Phoenix Sect.

On that day, a Teleportation Formation appeared in the sky above the Phoenix Sect. From that formation, dozens of familiar figures emerged.

The arrival of these figures immediately caused Xius, the Great Demon God, who had been sleeping the whole time, to suddenly open his tightly closed eyes!

”Su Han, hurry up and open the door for your granny!”

As the enormous figure of Xius loomed, Qianqian’s voice traveled in from outside the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation.
