Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 29 - Appointment

Lu Ping contained his excitement from entering the Ninth Layer and spent the next month consolidating his cultivation breakthrough. With the help of Blood Vigor Pellets, Lu Ping quickly stabilized his cultivation base and improved greatly.

The Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm was an important period between the Blood Refining Realm and Blood Condensation Realm.

In order for a mortal to become a cultivator, the first thing they had to do was awaken their bloodlines.

Legends have it that all living beings in this world are descendants of the Heaven Cleaving Seven Primes. Hence, everyone had seven types of spirit bloodlines in their body. Only by awakening these bloodlines could a mortal start absorbing spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, thus strengthening their bloodlines. This state was also known as the Blood Refining Realm.

After cultivating to the Ninth Layer in the Blood Refining Realm, all seven bloodlines in the cultivator’s body would be fully awakened. The cultivator’s next step would then be the Blood Condensation Realm.

In this realm, the cultivator must choose one out of the seven bloodlines to cultivate. The chosen bloodline would siphon all the spiritual energy of the other bloodlines, so it would eventually become the one and only bloodline in the cultivator’s body.

During the process, the cultivator must also absorb the same type of spirit blood as the chosen bloodline to make up for the lack of bloodlines in his body. And this was the entire cultivation process for the Blood Condensation Realm.

Since Lu Ping was now at the Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm, he would have to select one of the seven bloodlines, also known as their ‘foundation bloodline’.

But Lu Ping hadn’t decided on anything yet. For now, his focus was to reach the peak of the Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm and get himself a Blood Condensing Pellet. Only then would he think about advancing into the Blood Condensation Realm.

One day, after his cultivation, Lu Ping went to the market as usual to sell off the charms he’d crafted. Afterwards, he bought three bottles of Blood Essence Pellets from Zhen Ling Sect’s medicinal house. In the blink of an eye, he not only spent all the spirit stones earned from selling the charms, he also had to pull out more spirit stones just to afford the medicinal pellets.

After entering the Ninth Layer, his consumption of medicinal pellets had suddenly increased. The difference was apparent when comparing how Lu Ping used the higher quality Blood Solidifying Pellets and Blood Vigor Pellets in his cultivation previously. Now, although the Blood Essence Pellets were cheaper, they contained less spiritual energy within which would inevitably slow down his cultivation progress.

But even with just the Blood Essence Pellets, the cost of medicinal pellets was still climbing up month after month. If not for his wealth and the income from charm-crafting, he would be facing the same issue of lacking cultivation resources just like most of the cultivators out there.
