At the same time, Elder Blood River introduced, “This is the Blood Absorbing Pearl. It can absorb the enemy’s blood and is equivalent to the ‘Bloodsucking Art’ of the Grand Completion Realm. It can also be used to store blood in peacetime, and is several times larger than a normal blood bag.” Zhang Chen hurriedly took it and said, “Thank you for your gift, Master!”
“It seems that Elder Blood River really values this disciple. Three spots and a top-grade magic weapon.” Elder Blood Flame was once again surprised.
Although Golden Core cultivators used magic weapons, top-grade magic weapons were not cheap. In a sense, it was comparable to the blood essence of a Foundation Establishment disciple.
Usually, when they took accepted disciples, they would give them a blood bag as a gift, or at most, a low-grade magic weapon.
This is a top-grade magic weapon?
Zhang Chen couldn’t help but sigh in his heart at Elder Blood River’s generosity. Could it be that he had really found a good master?
However, the environment and cultivation techniques of the Blood God Sect made him deeply wary of these elders and the Sect Leader.
“Zhang Chen, I won’t mention the benefits of being a direct disciple. You should know about it, but if you don’t, you can go to the Internal Affairs Hall to inquire. You have three years to stabilize your realm, practice spells, and then come to Blood River Peak to find me.”
“Alright, you can go now.” Elder Blood River waved his hand.
Zhang Chen bowed and said, “Master, Sect Leader, and all the elders, I take my leave.”
“Boom!”
As soon as Zhang Chen walked out of the main hall, the door behind him automatically closed, as if it had separated two worlds. One world inside the door, and one world outside.
“From now on, I’m a direct disciple.”
Zhang Chen smiled. There were only over a hundred direct disciples in the Blood God Sect, and above them were the six elders and the Sect Leader. Their status was already very high.
Direct disciples could have their own mountain peaks as caves, a basin of demon blood every day, and a bowl of refined blood at the end of each month. “Huh! What are these people doing outside?”
Zhang Chen noticed that a group of people were standing on the square about a dozen yards away.
When these people saw Zhang Chen come out, they walked over one after another and said, “Congratulations, Senior Brother, on becoming a direct disciple. My name is Gao Yingguang. What should I call Senior Brother?”
“Congratulations on becoming a direct disciple, Senior Brother. My name is
Zhu Bangquan.”
“Congratulations on becoming a direct disciple, Senior Brother. My name is Wu Renrong.” …
After listening to everyone’s introduction, Zhang Chen learned that these people had come to congratulate him and make connections.
“I’m Zhang Chen, and I only managed to break through the Foundation Establishment stage by chance.”
“So it’s Senior Brother Zhang. I’m giving Senior Brother a demon beast as a congratulatory gift for your advancement. I hope Senior Brother will accept it.” “I’ll also give Senior Brother Zhang a demon beast as a congratulatory gift.” “I’ll do the same.”…
“Thank you, Junior Brothers. I’ll accept these gifts.” Zhang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the gifts.
There were a total of 14 demon beasts. He had gained a lot.
These people, at most, would claim to have a relationship with the direct disciple to make others hesitate to use Zhang Chen’s name for their own purposes.
Even if they had a request, they would come with gifts.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Chen bade farewell to everyone and arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall to receive his personal cave abode.
When Zhang Chen took out his personal disciple identity token, the disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall were respectful. They served tea and water and introduced the cave abode in detail.
In the end, Zhang Chen chose a cave abode called Blood Bamboo Peak.
This mountain peak was not considered good, but it was large and remote.
The useful items in the cave had long been put into the storage bag, so Zhang Chen went directly to the Blood Bamboo Peak.
The Blood Bamboo Peak was named after its dense blood-red bamboo, which looked like a sea of blood.
Especially when the wind blew, the bamboo leaves danced like the waves of a surging blood sea, pleasing to the eye..
However, these blood-red bamboos were not valuable, just ordinary bamboo that had turned red due to the environment of the Blood God Sect.
And because it was remote, not many people chose to come here.
“From now on, this place belongs to me.” Zhang Chen smiled as he looked at the mountain full of blood bamboo and stepped into the Blood Bamboo Peak.
With the mountain peak, he could plant spiritual plants and raise demon beasts.
However, the prerequisite was that he needed an array formation that enveloped the mountain peak.
This would prevent others from intruding and picking or destroying the spiritual plants, as well as preventing the demonic beasts he kept from running away.
However, array formations were not cheap. Only senior direct disciples had them.
After tidying up the cave, Zhang Chen took out the blood-absorbing bead that Elder Blood River had given him.
The bead was as big as a fist and had seven holes distributed on it, with blood flowing inside.
Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment and tried to inject his magic power to activate it.
The blood-absorbing bead immediately emitted a glow, and the seven holes produced a suction force that made his blood surge, giving him the feeling that he was about to be sucked into the bead.
“What a precious treasure. It’s indeed a top-quality magical tool. During the Qi Refinement period, one should not be able to resist this suction force.”
However, Zhang Chen did not rashly establish a connection with the blood-absorbing bead using his divine sense to refine it. Instead, he put it away and took out two jade slips.
These were the spells that the Blood God Sect Master had given him: the Blood Escape Technique and the Blood Curse Technique.
Zhang Chen placed one of them on his forehead and observed it.
[The Blood Escape Spell has been detected. It can only be used with a blood body, consuming blood to fly at an extremely fast speed.]
[Side Effect: This spell is exclusive, and if used for a long time, one will not be able to use any other flying technique other than the use of blood.] [Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…]
[Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]
For disciples of the Blood God Sect, these side effects were not a big deal. All the direct disciples used Blood Escape Technique, which was a standard practice for foundational disciples of the Blood God Sect.
In terms of speed alone, Blood Escape Technique was among the top tier in flying escape techniques during the foundational stage, so there was not much need to learn other escape techniques.
The Blood God Sect was not skilled in many other areas, but they were particularly adept at survival.
After memorizing Blood Escape Technique, Zhang Chen shattered the jade slip and placed another one on his forehead.
Blood Curse Technique had two methods of use: one was for the Qi refining disciples of the Blood God Sect, and the other was for enemies.
The first method was specifically designed for the Blood Scripture technique.
After being cursed, the blood of the Qi refining disciples who had practiced Blood Scripture would lose control and go berserk after a certain period of time.
This curse was used on inner sect disciples when they went on missions.
When a person was cursed and died, the curse would absorb the person’s intention and blood, marking the perpetrator and allowing other Blood Scripture practitioners to sense it.
The second method transformed a passive mark into an active one on the enemy, which was difficult to remove.
“This way, even if the enemy uses demon beasts to kill you, you can let the sect find the real murderer and avenge you.
From there, he would intimidate those who wanted to kill the Blood God Sect disciples. Before he attacked, he had to consider if he could deal with the Blood God Sect’s revenge.
As a result, the safety of Blood God Sect disciples outside the sect was greatly improved.
There were no side effects to Blood Curse Technique, so Zhang Chen did not hear the voice of the modifier..
“Next, I’ll master these two spells first.” Zhang Chen closed his eyes and comprehended the spells.
The news of Zhang Chen’s promotion to a direct disciple began to spread throughout the Blood God Sect.
“Did you hear? The one who was promoted to a direct disciple this time is a senior brother named Zhang Chen.”
“Zhang Chen? I haven’t heard of him in the inner sect!”
“It’s normal not to have heard of him. Senior brother Zhang Chen was promoted from the inner sect just over two years ago and keeps a low profile.”
“What! He was promoted from the inner sect to a direct disciple in just two years?”
The crowd was shocked, and Xu Yisheng, who had just passed by, paused in his steps.
“They’re talking about Zhang Chen.. Could it be the same Zhang Chen that I know?”
