"Eh, my unfilial disciple was saved by someone. Since that's the case, Fellow Daoist Yin Xian, I'll wait until the end of the ceremony to accept a disciple before thanking the person who saved my unfilial disciple!"

Oh, I remember now. Before I left, I seemed to have taken out the medicinal pill, ai, now that this person is old, my mind is in a mess. Fellow Daoist Yin Xian, this old man can't participate in the grand ceremony much longer.

"Hmph, these scumbags know their own limitations. Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, those scumbags won't be able to open my cave mansion, so I'll wait for the end of the ceremony before going back!"

"Haha, this old man's best friend is really interesting. He said that he's not going to die, Fellow Daoist Yin Xian, and my best friend played a joke on me. I'll go see him after the great hall of your sect is over!"

"Haha, this old man suddenly received another message from a good friend. That demon from the Devil Sect has suddenly gone berserk; the heavens are truly enlightened. Since you don't need this old man's help, Fellow Yin Xian, then this old man will wait until the end of your sect's ceremony before leaving!"

Oh, so my disciple sent the wrong message. My best friend will be staying for a few more days, and in that case, I don't care about this little bit of time. Fellow Daoist Yin Xian, this old man will wait until the end of your Sect's ceremony before returning to meet my best friend!

"Sigh, I couldn't break through the bottleneck for so many years. I almost got confused just now, and I've made Fellow Daoist Yin Xian laugh. I decided that I won't be in a rush to go into closed door training."

"… …"

Other than a few Demon God Sect cultivators who pretended to dress up, the rest were all reputable figures. Naturally, they did not want to lose face, but after the incident just now, their reputation would definitely be affected. Fortunately, they would stay and not offend the Hollow Jade Sect.

As for those cultivators below the tribulation stage, after seeing the tribulation stage cultivators using all sorts of excuses to force themselves to stay behind and no one was willing to offend the Hollow Jade Sect, they could only learn from the seniors and find excuses to stay behind.

Those rogue cultivators were no longer worried about their Dao-companions giving birth to children. Their Dao-companions had left with their people, and even their big aunt had disappeared. The cultivators of the sects were no longer worried about their sects being surrounded and attacked by the Siren, Demonic Beasts, and Demonic God Sect.

These people's actions also caused Tian Ci to see something the mortals didn't know about. In the eyes of the mortals, the image of a cultivator as immortal completely collapsed.

"Master, please take out your disciple's blood essence and return your disciple's innocence!"

Although no one would be able to obtain the benefits directly, no one would pursue the hundred top grade spirit stones obtained by Crimson Core again. In the end, Crimson Core could be considered to have gained quite a bit. Thus, no one stopped Su Liang.

Without the help of the Scarlet Core, Su Liang raised his hand and a yellow stream of light shot towards Tian Ci's chest, slowly entering into her body.

This external energy did not contain any offensive properties, and it was also very careful, but after all, it was forced into his body by external forces. At first, Tian Ci just felt uncomfortable, followed by a faint pain, and in the end, the pain intensified, causing his breathing to quicken, and this was not the time for him to feel pain the most, because this energy was not close to his heart yet.

The closer they got to the heart, the more careful Su Liang controlled the energy. He was afraid of hurting the heart at all, causing too much pain. However, this was, after all, taking the blood essence from the heart.

This wave of energy approached the heart and did not directly enter it. Instead, it carefully wrapped around the heart, causing Su Liang's fingers to gradually contract and bend. Then, a suction force began to emanate from the heart, slowly compressing it and forming a pulling force.

During this process, Tian Ci's body trembled uncontrollably from the pain. It was getting more and more intense. If it weren't for his exceptional willpower, he would have fainted long ago. Even so, Tian Ci could only groan in pain.

During the process of extracting blood essence, if it was someone else who cultivated in wood and water affinity Qi Methods instead of Su Liang, the pain and suffering bestowed upon him would be alleviated.

Amongst the five elements, wood and water type spirit energy could heal wounds, and wood type healing was the most effective. With the wood type spirit energy that the Mysterious Spirit Sect's Yu Zijun and Nong lian cultivated, it would be much easier for any one of them to extract blood essence.

However, Yu Zijun and Nong JianRou had participated in the Shentu Clan's tragedy, and now that they came to observe the ceremony, no one was sure what kind of attitude they had towards Heaven's Gift. Su Liang was worried about his safety, so naturally they couldn't take the risk.

As for the other people who had the wood and water type spiritual energy, Su Liang couldn't trust them either.

There were many ways to extract blood essence. The most direct and quick way to extract blood essence was to attack the chest, causing the blood essence to spurt out from the heart through the mouth.

However, if that were to happen, not to mention the fact that it would be extremely harmful to his heart, his heart would likely stop beating during the process of the attack. There was an even more serious possibility that his heart would directly rupture.

Thus, when Su Liang personally came to take the blood essence, the entire process of being bestowed with pain continued for a long time.

"This kid's willpower is strong; he's nothing special. If he cultivated, he would definitely become a phoenix among men, a child of heaven!"

All of the cultivators present had cultivated for many years, so they naturally knew what kind of pain taking the blood essence was going to suffer. All of the cultivators present, all of them had cultivated for many years, so they naturally knew what sort of pain taking the blood essence was going to suffer.

Seeing how he was suffering, Chi Dan was no longer worried about his comrades. This was the first time he had started to worry about them, and he stood to the side, staring at them, afraid that something might happen to them.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a drop of blood essence flew out from Divine Aura's body and was wrapped by the energy released by Su Liang. It flew towards Su Liang and was held in Su Liang's hands.

As for Tian Ci, who lost a drop of blood essence, because her heart was being squeezed, her blood was roiling, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body lost all of its strength, and she collapsed.

He immediately held onto Tian Ci's body. Although Chi Dan loved to mess around and was extremely greedy, he was not stingy towards Tian Ci. He took out the Blood Replenishing Pill Yin Xian had just given him and fed one to her.

The Blood Replenishing Pill was specially concocted for cultivators, and it was not something ordinary cultivators could use. Although the Heaven's Gift body was strong, it was still just a mortal body, and could not withstand the fierce effects of the Blood Replenishing Pill.

After consuming a Blood Replenishing Pill, the energy and blood of the Heaven's Gift surged even more. He spat out another mouthful of blood. Seeing his companion in such a state, Chi Dan immediately became anxious.

"Old thing, you dare to harm this brat?!"

Being scolded by Chi Dan, Yin Xian felt a bit awkward. However, he understood that Chi Dan was only worried, so he bitterly smiled and said, "Chi Dan Dao friend, don't worry, this Blood Replenishing Pill has a very strong medicinal effect. It's normal for there to be some adverse reactions when using it for the first time!"

"Little Dan, Martial Uncle is right. I'm much better now, don't worry!"

"Thank you for the medicine, uncle-master!"

After consuming the pill, apart from spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tian Ci felt much better. Seeing that Little Dan had misunderstood Yin Xian, she forced herself to express her gratitude to Yin Xian.

"Haha, the weather today is really good!" Chi Dan also knew that he had misunderstood Yin Xian. Embarrassed, he didn't apologize as he raised his head to look at the sky.

"Tian Ci, do you need to go back inside the hall to rest?"

"Master, I'm fine!" When she saw the deep concern in Su Liang's eyes, a warm feeling rose in her heart.

"Mm, it's been hard on you!"

In order to prove himself, in order to prevent the sect from being implicated, Tian Ci was willing to sacrifice a drop of blood essence. During the process of extracting blood essence, she had to endure unimaginable pain.

Fellow Daoists, my apprentice hasn't even started to practice cultivation. I can only produce a single drop of blood essence. I hope you won't be destroyed or lost in the process of transmission. This wasn't a bluff from Su Liang, this was a warning.

Everyone could see that if this drop of blood essence was eaten by those paranoid people, if they wanted to prove their identity, then they would have to retrieve the blood essence once more. As a result, Tian Ci's body definitely wouldn't be able to take it.

Taking out a jade bottle from his storage spiritual tool, he put the drop of blood into it. Su Liang waved his hand and the jade bottle flew into the crowd of people who came to watch the ceremony.

"Sure enough!"

The first to receive the jade bottle was Hong Tao. Because he was the one with the highest status, he opened the jade bottle and released his consciousness. After carefully observing it for a while, he smiled and threw the jade bottle towards Cao Ba.

Cao Ba was determined to obtain Shentu Shun. Before he received the jade bottle, he impatiently looked at Hong Tao, wishing that he could immediately snatch the jade bottle and observe it for a while.

"So that's how it is!"

After receiving the jade bottle, Cao Ba immediately released his soul consciousness to observe the entire drop of blood essence inside and out, over and over again. He was only missing the ability to decompose this drop of blood essence.

Cao Ba took much longer than Hong Tao. A quarter of an hour later, a hint of disappointment flashed across Cao Ba's eyes and he also smiled. However, if anyone was to carefully observe, they would definitely discover that he was laughing angrily.

Receiving the jade bottle, Yu Zijun and Nong Jianrou carefully observed it for a while and shook their heads. They didn't say anything nor did they smile.

It was said that Yu Zijun and Nong Jiexi were among the best doctors in the sect. While they were observing the blood essence, even Cao Ba and Hong Tao, who had already observed it, were looking at them, not to mention those who had yet to study it.

Yu Zijun and Nong Rou Rou shook their heads one after the other. Cao Ba had completely given up. Although the others hadn't observed him, they could guess that he was disappointed.

"Interesting, interesting indeed!"

The jade bottle would be in his hands sooner or later, and Duo Ling wasn't in a hurry. She took the bottle and inspected it, then she smiled as well. That smile was clearly one of amusement.
