An unknown pill entered the stomach.
Pang Jian squinted his eyes and sensed that there was a layer of "air membrane" condensed by the medicinal power in the pill, covering his chest area.
The qi and blood that escaped from the internal organs and surrounding muscles and bones seemed to be isolated by this layer of "air membrane".
Pang Jian just realized that this pill did not suppress Qi and blood, but could only isolate the vigorous Qi and blood for a while.
"Hong Jian, what does the upper realm look like?"
Sister Bai Wei approached quietly.
She looked at Pang Jian curiously. She felt that although this cold boy was not handsome, he had a unique wild charm. So she asked, "Are all the people in the upper realm as talented as you?"
The thin sister Bai Zhi also looked at Pang Jian quietly, with a bright light in her eyes.
The sisters are both good-looking, with beautiful features and unique figures.
If they had not acknowledged Meng Qiulan as their master, with their beauty and figures, it would be very risky for them to appear in any restricted area of the Fourth Realm.
Pang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Most people born in the upper realm are not qualified to join sects like Blood Moon, Galaxy Alliance, and Fiery Sun Sect. The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the upper realm is mostly free of impurities. For forces like Blood Moon and Galaxy Alliance, the spiritual energy in the sect is not only pure, but also extremely mellow and rich."
"Compared to down there, it's easier to cultivate up there, and ordinary people can live longer."
He learned all this knowledge through chatting with Luo Hongyan, and now he is just using it.
Bai Wei looked longing: "It seems that the upper realm is better."
As she said this, she suddenly smiled softly and said boldly, "Hong Jian, if my sister and I can't break through to the Tongmai realm within half a year, we will ask our master to give us to you, okay?"
Bai Zhi, who was standing by, glared at him and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Sister!"
Of the two sisters, Bai Wei is more daring when it comes to matters between men and women, but she becomes the most fearful and timid once they encounter dangerous situations.
on the contrary.
My sister doesn't even dare to talk about matters between men and women, but she stays relatively calm when faced with danger.
"I don't have much confidence..."
Bai Wei sighed bitterly.
She looked at Meng Qiulan who was leaning against the window, observing the outside through the gap, and whispered, "If you really want to be given away, you might as well pick someone who looks pleasing to the eye, so that you won't feel disgusted when serving her in the future..."
Bai Zhi was stunned and thought to himself, "He is so young. Even if Master really wants to give us away, he will give us away to someone important."
Bai Wei, who was in tune with her sister's thoughts, knew what she was thinking and whispered, "We are both over 20 years old, but we haven't even reached the second level of Tongmai Realm, which means we don't have enough talent. Hong Jian, he is only 15 or 16 years old, but he has successfully completed the marrow cleansing. As long as he doesn't die, he will soon be able to make a name for himself in Dark Ghost."
After she said that, Bai Zhi thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.
When she looked at Pang Jian again, her mind changed. She thought that if the other party was Pang Jian, it would not be unacceptable.
"Bai Wei, your little brain works really fast."
Keeping an eye on Meng Qiulan outside, he turned his head to glance at the sisters, and cast a gloomy gaze on Pang Jian, saying, "With your talent, to be honest, it would be a waste of talent for you to join the Dark Ghost. The most critical step in the Marrow Cleansing Realm is marrow cleansing. If you can successfully temper your bones, the rest will be much easier."
She touched her chin, thought for a while, and said, "In two years, if you can cultivate to the point of tempering blood, if you are still in the Dark Ghost, your status and position will definitely surpass mine..."
"When the time comes, it won't be a problem for me to give you this pair of useless disciples."
Hearing this, Bai Wei's eyes lit up.
Bai Zhi lowered her head slightly.
Pang Jian looked at the sisters curiously and said, "I lack pills or animal blood to strengthen my qi and blood."
"Not only you are lacking, everyone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm is lacking." Meng Qiulan snorted and said, "In the early stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, in addition to needing a portion of Marrow Cleansing Materials to complete the tempering of the bone marrow, you also need to widen your tendons. The internal organs, flesh, and blood that follow all rely on the blood and meat of beasts that are rich in vitality."
At this point, Meng Qiulan sighed and continued, "Level 3 beast flesh and blood is a scarce material for every marrow cleansing realm. This item has always been in short supply in our Fourth Realm."
"Only the seven major families and us Dark Ghosts can get some. As for independent cultivators? Humph, even if we have spiritual stones, we have nowhere to buy them!"
Pang Jian said nothing.
The last time he returned to this stronghold, he asked Ling Qing to purchase some beast blood. In addition to his own needs, Luo Hongyan also relied on this thing to forge flesh, blood, and bones.
But most of the beast blood he purchased came from level one and level two ferocious beasts, and the vitality and energy contained in them were limited.
Ling Qing also confessed to him that most of the ferocious beasts in Qianli Yunze were at level one or level two.
Level three ferocious beasts are rarely seen in Qianli Yunze, and independent cultivators don’t dare to take the risk of hunting them.
Only the leader of the Dark Ghost Hall can obtain beast blood of level three or higher through the Dark Ghost's way.
"Hey! This is a Blood Moon hunting ship!"
Meng Qiulan turned her attention back to the outside and suddenly exclaimed, "There should be a large amount of animal blood and meat in each hunting boat."
Pang Jian's mind moved.
He learned from Luo Hongyan that sects like the Galaxy League, Hongshan, and Lieyang Sect, after their disciples successfully cleansed their marrow, mostly used pills that increased their Qi and blood, combined with spiritual power, to slowly temper their internal organs and flesh.
The Blood Moon is made by integrating the blood of fierce beasts and spiritual beasts into the blood pool for the cultivation of disciples in the Marrow Washing Realm.
Also known as the "Unfixed Ferry", some of the Blood Moon's ships are designed to go to places where ferocious beasts appear, to hunt and kill them and collect their flesh and blood.
The beast blood and meat harvested during the Blood Moon are provided to the disciples for their practice, and part is sold to the outside.
Pang Jian was secretly excited when he was surprised to hear that what was flying over was actually a Blood Moon hunting boat.
At this moment, he felt a wave that suddenly spread from above the stronghold, covering everyone in the stronghold.
"Everyone come out!"
A superior voice suddenly sounded.
Meng Qiulan, who was huddled in the house, had a slightly changed expression. She turned around and glanced at Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, then sighed, "I hope we can get through this safely."
She also didn't expect that this blood moon would not play by the rules and would require everyone to leave the cabin.
"Hong Jian, no one can hide from the Eye of the Brand. It can tell how many people are hiding in each wooden house, but it still doesn't know that we are in the Marrow Cleansing Realm. You should be careful."
After saying that, Meng Qiulan opened the door and led Bai Wei and Bai Zhi out first.
"Ling Qing!"
The moment Bai Wei walked out the door, she covered her mouth and screamed, with fear in her eyes.
Pang Jianla walked out of the wooden house behind and saw a man in Blood Moon clothing at first sight, pressing Ling Qing's neck and making him kneel on the ground.
Ling Qing, a short, thin man with the cultivation base at the late Tongmai Realm, is the person in charge of this stronghold.
At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, facing Pang Jian, Meng Qiulan and others, but he kept his head down.
"You built a wooden house here and made a place for scattered cultivators to gather, but you don't know anything?"
Fei Zheng, with a white face and long beard, sneered: "I don't believe that no one has escaped from the several broken lands within the Ouyang family's jurisdiction. The independent cultivators who have not escaped are here to survive!"
Ling Qing lowered his head and stammered, "Really not!"
Fei Zheng, who was holding his neck, snorted, "You don't know anything. What's the point of setting up this base? Also, I heard that there was a man named Hong Tai who appeared in Qianli Yunze and tamed a black and white king python. Is this true?"
Ling Qing kept his head down: "There is such a person, but he has not appeared for a long time. He should have come to Qianli Yunze to capture the black and white king python."
"Come to think of it, Hongtai and I are old acquaintances."
Fei Zheng patted Ling Qing on the back with a strange smile, and then he heard Ling Qing screaming with grimace, and it was unknown how many bones were broken.
Suddenly, Fei Zheng saw Bai Wei and Bai Zhi walking out after Meng Qiulan.
His eyes shone with a strange light, and he raised his hand to point at Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, saying, "Come here, both of you. I have a great opportunity for you. I can take you to live in the upper realm."
Bai Wei, who had just been longing to visit the upper realm, became frightened when she heard these words.
The two women looked at Meng Qiulan.
Meng Qiulan's hand on the crutch trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Go over there."
The "Wuding Ferry" was hanging in the air above Fei Zheng's head. So far, he was the only one coming down. No one knew how many people from the Blood Moon were inside the "Wuding Ferry" that was tasked with catching animals.
"Oh, you are their elder, right?"
Fei Zheng seemed to have just noticed Meng Qiulan. He smiled and said, "We, Blood Moon, are not unreasonable. Here, there are ten spirit stones. Consider it as me buying them both. I have an elder who likes to have beautiful sisters. This is a blessing for them both. Don't worry about it."
"No worries, no worries."
Meng Qiulan said with difficulty.
Pang Jian was standing behind and found that Meng Qiulan's entire back was shaking. He didn't know whether it was because she was angry and wanted to attack, or because she was afraid of the blood moon.
"Well, you are sensible."
Fei Zheng smiled faintly, and when Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, who both had pale faces, came to him, he held one of them by the hand each and said, "I will take you to Tianyun City first, and after you meet the Shangguan family, I will take you to the upper realm to live a good life."
The two sisters, who are members of the Dark Ghost, obviously know what the blood moon means, but they dare not even say a word.
They just stared at Meng Qiulan.
Meng Qiulan, with a hunched body and trembling slightly, lowered her head helplessly in response to their gazes seeking help.
—Meng Qiulan didn’t dare to look at them.
The two sisters were suddenly filled with despair. They no longer had the energy to ask anyone for help and just lowered their heads in resignation to their fate.
"Watch out, we're leaving!"
Fei Zheng suddenly exerted force.
He grabbed one in each hand and suddenly rushed towards the hovering "Unfixed Ferry", and soon landed on the deck.
Pang Jian looked up and saw the familiar blood-red crescent moon logo among the black banners fluttering in the wind above the wide "Wuding Ferry".
Only then did he deeply feel how intimidating the practitioners from the upper realm were in the world below.
—This is like the disciples of the Demon Sect, the Sword Tower, and the Black Valley standing on a high platform.
In this stronghold where independent cultivators gather, as long as the "Unfixed Ferry" is docked, the people of Blood Moon can do whatever they want.
Everyone can only endure everything silently, being angry but not daring to speak out.
Including the Dark Ghost Hall Master Meng Qiulan, they could only accept everything and remain silent.
finally.
Under the frightened gazes, the "Wuding Ferry" slowly started and flew towards Tianyun City controlled by the Shangguan family.
