222: Chapter 222 A pool full of holy blood!

Chapter 222: A Whole Pool Full of Saint Blood! Golden Wutong leaves shimmered with a warm luster under the setting sun, and the entire Wutong Garden was enveloped in a warm twilight.

Luo Qingyue was kneeling in the garden brewing tea. Her white clothes were like snow, and her brows and eyes were cold and clear. Just by slightly lifting her eyes, a look of peace and a faint smile bloomed in them.

"Young Master."

Shen Qingyuan gave a hum, took the teacup, and took a light sip.

A flash of light appeared from his sleeve, and a fist-sized, crimson-gold ball of light floated out, suspended in mid-air, emitting a light as blazing as the sun.

Inside the light ball, countless phantoms of Yao Beasts were still churning and roaring. The essence of the Saint Realm's blood and Qi was concentrated within. Even separated by the light ball, the vitality, which was so rich it was almost tangible, caused the Spiritual Qi of the entire Wutong Garden to boil.

Luo Qingyue's teapot paused slightly, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her cold, clear eyes.

"This is..."

"The blood and Qi essence of a Saint Realm Yao Beast." Shen Qingyuan's tone was indifferent.

But Luo Qingyue was greatly shocked.

She naturally knew what the blood and Qi of a Saint Realm Yao Beast meant.

Even a single drop would be a supreme treasure that countless Cultivators in the Southern Region would fight tooth and nail for.

And with a casual grab, Young Master had produced an entire pool of it.

"Your Foundation is stable, so it is time to improve your Realm." Shen Qingyuan looked at Luo Qingyue and smiled. "I will place this Blood Pool in the Xuantian Secret Realm; you go in and cultivate for a period of time."

"Thank you, Young Master." Luo Qingyue's brows curved slightly, revealing a captivating smile.

Xuantian Secret Realm.

Under the gray sky, Spiritual mist swirled in the medicine garden. Cultivators were working hard, weeding, picking, and tilling; everything was orderly.

Zhao Qiankun crouched in front of a plot of Spirit Medicine, carefully loosening the soil for a thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine.

Since being thrown into this Secret Realm, he had slowly adapted from his initial anger and despair. He even began to feel that, although this was a cage, the density of the Spiritual Qi was indeed much better than outside.

Just as he was focused on tending to the Spirit Medicine—

"Boom—!"

An earth-shattering loud noise exploded from the sky!

Under the gray sky, a beam of crimson-gold light suddenly descended from the depths of the firmament, tearing through the Spiritual mist that never dissipated. Like divine fire falling from the heavens, it smashed fiercely into a desolate valley in the depths of the Secret Realm.

"Rumble—!"

The earth shook violently, and cracked fissures spread crazily from the center of where the light beam fell. Gravel flew, and dust filled the air.

In the medicine garden, Zhao Qiankun, who was bending over to weed, suddenly stood up straight. The medicine hoe in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter." He stared wide-eyed at the crimson-gold beam of light rushing into the sky in the depths of the Secret Realm, his whole person struck by lightning, frozen in place.

"What, what is that?!"

Chen Jiuzhou also rushed out of the medicine field, his face still stained with mud, but he couldn't care about wiping it off. He stared fixedly at the blazing light in the distance, his voice trembling. "This commotion... did that person from the Shen Family bring something else in?"

The two looked at each other and saw astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

Zhao Qiankun gritted his teeth, dropped the medicine hoe, and swept towards the valley.

Chen Jiuzhou hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed.

It wasn't just them.

In the medicine garden, beside the ore veins, and at the edge of the Spirit Beast enclosure, all the Cultivators from the Zhao Family, Chen Family, Shi Family, and Lieyang Sect who were working stopped their tasks, their gazes cast uniformly toward the crimson-gold beam of light.

"What is going on?"

"Have new people come in again?"

"Go take a look!"

The crowd surged toward the valley like a tide. Some were excited, some were curious, and more were filled with trepidation.

Jin Dali stood at the back of the crowd, his expression uncertain.

This former Elder of the Lieyang Sect was now wearing coarse cloth shorts, with mud still on his trouser legs and calluses on his hands, looking every bit like an old farmer who had been farming for decades.

He looked at the crimson-gold beam of light, clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white. "The Shen Family... what exactly is their background?"

No one could answer him.

Outside the valley, it was soon crowded with people.

A dense crowd, there were at least a thousand of them.

Cultivators from the Zhao Family, Chen Family, Shi Family, and Lieyang Sect, men and women, young and old, all crowded at the edge of the valley, craning their necks to look inside.

In the valley, a Blood Pool about a zhang square floated quietly in mid-air.

The Blood Pool was octagonal, the pool walls condensed from crimson-gold crystals, and the surface was covered with fine golden runes, emitting an ancient, vicissitudinous aura.

The crimson-gold liquid in the pool churned and boiled, as hot as magma, yet it contained vitality so rich it was almost tangible.

That vitality was so strong that just standing outside the valley and taking a breath made one's pores expand and the Spiritual power in one's body run wildly!

"That, that is..."

Jin Dali swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling. "Is that the blood and Qi essence of a Saint Realm Yao Beast?!"

His tone was filled with disbelief.

Unlike small families like the Chen Family and Zhao Family, his Lieyang Sect was at least a top Sect in the Southern Region, so his knowledge was naturally incomparable to others.

Although he had never seen a Saint Realm Yao Beast with his own eyes, he had been fortunate enough to see the blood and Qi of a Saint.

Therefore, looking at this pool full of Saint Realm blood and Qi, his whole body trembled, and his heart was filled with horror.

"What?! Saint Realm?!"

"Impossible! The blood and Qi of a Saint Realm Yao Beast, even a single drop is worth a fortune! That whole pool full of it, just how many Saint Realm Yao Beasts must that be?!"

"Where on earth did the Shen Family get this kind of thing?!"

Exclamations arose one after another, and everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

Unlike Jin Dali's shock, Zhao Qiankun, Chen Jiuzhou, and the others were not as shocked.

Their Zhao Family and Chen Family were both small families, and the strongest experts in their clans were only in the Void Piercing Realm. Saint Realm and such were too far away from them.

They couldn't even say how precious Saint blood was.

Perhaps, for the Shen Family, it wasn't that precious.

For this mysterious Shen Family, even if something more shocking happened now, they wouldn't find it strange.

Just as everyone's emotions were churning—

A white-clothed figure stepped out from the Void Realm.

Luo Qingyue.

Her white clothes were like snow, her black hair like a waterfall, and her brows and eyes were as cold as frost.

She stepped through the air, and the Void Realm beneath her feet rippled like a water surface. Her pace was neither hurried nor slow, but every step stepped on the heartstrings of everyone.

She walked to the Blood Pool and stopped.

"Is that... Fairy Qingyue?"

Jin Dali stood at the back of the crowd, his pupils constricting.

He recognized that white-clothed figure, the former number one Prodigy of the Southern Region who had suddenly disappeared three years ago. Some said she was in seclusion to break through to a higher Realm, some said she had gone to the Central Plains, and others said she had already fallen.

Who would have thought that she would appear here, and—

That aura.

Jin Dali's hands were shaking.

He was an Elder of the Lieyang Sect, with the cultivation of the third level of the Primal Chaos Realm, which could be considered a figure of some standing in the Southern Region.

But at this moment, he could clearly feel that the aura emitted from Luo Qingyue's body far exceeded his own!

Luo Qingyue ignored the gazes behind her.

She lifted her foot and stepped into the Blood Pool.

The crimson-gold liquid parted beneath her feet and closed behind her, wrapping her whole body.

She sat cross-legged, her eyes slightly closed, and her black hair drifted in the blood-colored liquid, like a thick stroke of ink blooming in a wash painting.

The next moment—

"Boom!!!"

The entire Blood Pool suddenly boiled!

The crimson-gold beam of light shot into the sky again, more blazing and dazzling than before, illuminating the entire gray sky!

Within the beam of light, countless Yao Beast phantoms churned and roared, emitting deafening roars, but they were firmly suppressed within the Blood Pool by an invisible force, unable to escape.

Between Luo Qingyue's eyebrows, a silver-white light suddenly lit up.

That was her Dao seed.
