Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 181 - 157: Fame Soaring, Bloodline Experiment

"A thousand gold can't buy early knowledge."

Zhang Yao shook his head and said:

"With Yu Wen Tai's status, it would be very difficult for Lord to leverage Fuhai Sect's power to topple him."

"Indeed, you guessed correctly."

Lord Haihe gave a bitter smile and said:

"After I returned to the sect, my master went to see Yu Wen Tai regarding this matter."

"However, in the end... after Yu Wen Tai paid a certain price, my master ceased his actions and even advised me to let bygones be bygones."

"Although he didn't explicitly say so, he advised me that a gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years. But I could see from his attitude that he doesn't want me to become mortal enemies with Yu Wen Tai because of this..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao furrowed his brows, contemplating silently.

Yu Wen Tai's power and status indeed exceeded Zhang Yao's expectations, leaving him with a sense of helplessness.

Although this matter has passed and Yu Wen Tai shouldn't retaliate further against Haihe Association, offending him might eventually turn him into an enemy.

"... What does Lord plan to do?"

After a long consideration, Zhang Yao prudently asked about Lord Haihe's intentions.

"What else can I do? Nothing more than temporarily keeping a low profile and swallowing my pride."

Lord Haihe sighed, his eyes dark, his tone low:

"Right now, I can't provoke him, so I can only seek refuge under my master's protection and slowly accumulate power."

"If I really want revenge, perhaps I'll have to wait for decades, until I reach the Golden Core Realm and when the Five Elements Secret Realm opens again, then his status won't be as crucial, and I'll have a chance to kill this scoundrel."

"Decades later..."

Zhang Yao mused for a moment before suddenly speaking:

"I do have a question."

"Yu Wen Tai has long been invincible at the Foundation Establishment level and can even refine third grade Spirit Pills to assist in forming Golden Core. Why doesn't he attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm? Is he afraid of failure?"

"I don't know this either."

Lord Haihe shrugged, candidly:

"I even asked my master, and he suspects Yu Wen Tai has some hidden ailment, seemingly obstructed by some inexplicable hindrance when breaking through to the Golden Core Realm."

"If it weren't for this premise, I might have already given up hope for revenge, as Yu Wen Tai breaking through to the Golden Core Realm would surely be much earlier than me."

"... I understand."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly.

After chatting for a while, Lord Haihe took out a small silver-colored metal bottle and handed it over:

"This is the essence blood of Elder Zhuo Miao's Water Resistant Golden Eyed Beast."

He spoke, signaling:

"Take it, consider it a gift from me."

Zhang Yao showed a trace of gratitude, repeatedly saying:

"Thank you, Lord, this will really help me a lot."

Lord Haihe smiled indifferently and said:

"No need to be so polite, it's nothing more than a small act."

"When the sect leader's junior brother visited me, I mentioned it casually, and he brought it to me the next day."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

If he were to negotiate for it, it would definitely be impossible to obtain without paying a certain price, but for Lord Haihe, it was just a matter of saying a few words.

A moment later.

Lord Haihe hurriedly bid farewell and left, and Zhang Yao escorted him out of Yuan Mountain City.

Returning to the Deep Palace, Zhang Yao took out that small silver-colored metal bottle, played with it for a while before storing it away again, revealing a hint of a smile:

"The third type of True Blood is in hand."

Half of the Six-sided True Blood has been obtained.

He roughly knew about the remaining three types of essence blood; once he handled the matters of Du Bu Alliance, he could return to Cangjiang Water Vein and begin the bloodline experiments.

......

The tumultuous events in Kang Continent had already spread throughout the entire Da Li Cultivation Realm.

On this day, on Immortal Gate Island.

A female cultivator with graceful posture and beautiful appearance finished a short-term seclusion and went to the Marketplace to stroll.

"Hmm?"

She hadn't wandered for long before hearing many discussions about 'Haihe Association' and 'Lord Qingxu', sparking her interest:

"Could something have happened with Haihe Association? Is it related to Lord Qingxu...?"

She was none other than Li Shuixian, who had fled Suiyu Mountain, changed her appearance and hid her identity.

After the incident that day, she didn't hide in the deep mountains and forests but instead took the opposite approach, taking advantage of the phase before the wanted order was fully published to hide on Immortal Gate Island.

First, Immortal Gate Island was densely populated with a mix of all kinds of people, and it belonged to the territory of Lingyang Sect which had a rather strained relationship with Fuhai Sect, making it difficult for her to be discovered while blending in.

Secondly, she had stolen a significant amount of Taibai Refined Gold and Black Jade Ore, which needed further purification and refining before being exchanged for Spirit Stones, making the Marketplace the most convenient place to stay.

"Fellow Daoist..."

Unable to contain herself, she approached a small shop and inquired of the shopkeeper.

"Ah, you're talking about the Haihe Association? It's been spread everywhere these past few days..."

The shopkeeper was talkative, quickly recounting all the events from Fang Continent and Kang Continent.

After the Water Mansion assault, the renowned Du Bu Daoist died, and the Du Bu Alliance, which dominated Kang Continent, announced its dissolution—a matter of such magnitude that it naturally spread through the Da Li Cultivation Realm within a few days.

After that, Lord Haihe returned to the sect, Haihe Association was handed over to a newly promoted but unknown Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the various factions openly and covertly fought over the Du Bu Alliance's legacy, all becoming sensational news and the recent focus.

"This..."

After listening, Li Shuixian felt like a storm had surged in her heart, her emotions unsettled for a long time.

She never expected such significant changes would occur within the Haihe Association after just half a month in seclusion!

"And Lord Qingxu, he's actually so powerful..."

After the battle at Cangjiang Water Mansion, the two Foundation Establishment masters from Du Bu Alliance who luckily escaped alive heavily publicized the matter of Haihe Association harboring Demon Cultivators in revenge.
