Back in the cave abode, Zhang Chen saw that the Blood God Son was very busy with the fire and pill refining. He felt that it would be better to have a few more Blood God Sons practicing pill refining together.

Although Blood God Sons didn’t experience fatigue, their mana was limited. Moreover, they had to maintain the furnace fire while refining pills, dividing their attention and affecting the success rate of pill formation.

So Zhang Chen released three intelligent Blood God Sons and transmitted the memory of pill refining on Gu Pingshan to them, following the established procedure.

With four Blood God Sons, two in each group, one maintained the blood flames while the other focused on pill refining. After one group’s mana was depleted, they would switch with the other group, allowing uninterrupted pill refining.

After handing over the demon blood and spirit herbs to the four Blood God Sons, Zhang Chen began refining the Sepsis Jug.

The process went smoothly, taking only an hour, and the Sepsis Jug was successfully refined, with the soul imprint engraved on it.

“Retreat!”

With a thought, Zhang Chen made the Sepsis Jug fly into his dantian and disappear.

“Although I gained a lot from the battle on Gu Pingshan, I also lost a hundred Blood God Sons. I need to quickly replenish and restore our combat strength. It would be best to reach the original quantity before the upcoming Demon Path Grand Competition.”

Zhang Chen waved his hand, summoning dozens of Blood Seeds from the blood pool, which he absorbed into his body to nurture them with his blood essence, accelerating their incubation.

Originally, he had 140 Blood God Sons, but he lost 100 and only had 40 left.

Of these 40, 30 had gained intelligence.

Four were refining pills, one was cursing, and one was guarding the demon beasts, which accounted for six disciples. Their overall strength had greatly diminished.

Zhang Chen wouldn’t leave the Blood God Sect until he had enough Blood God Sons.

Three months later, Gu Pingshan still hadn’t returned, finally arousing the attention of the disciples in the Alchemy House.

However, they were suppressed by Yan Chengzhi, who used the excuse that Senior Brother Gu had important matters to attend to.

Thanks to the trade in spiritual herbs with Zhang Chen, the Alchemy House had a stable source of refined blood, and Yan Chengzhi’s prestige soared.

With this period of buffer and positioning, there was already a tendency to replace Gu Pingshan.

Yan Chengzhi benefited the most from Gu Pingshan’s death.

After some time, he should be able to truly take Gu Pingshan’s position.

If it weren’t for the trade with Zhang Chen, Yan Chengzhi wouldn’t have had the qualifications to manage the Alchemy House.

Although he was also at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm, he had only recently reached that level, while there were still two others with higher strength and seniority than him.

The reason why Gu Pingshan appointed Yan Chengzhi as the temporary head of the Alchemy House was to prevent the other two from seizing power. This actually worked in his favor.

Soon, another two months passed and it was the day of the Demon Path Grand Competition.

“Dong dong dong dong dong…

Hearing the bell, Zhang Chen stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.

“This is the bell toll that represents the arrival of guests. It should be the other three sects arriving at the Blood God Sect.”

In these past five months, Zhang Chen had consumed a large amount of refined blood and successfully nurtured a hundred Blood God Sons at the Qi Refinement.

Although it prolonged the time to accumulate strength, it could be compensated with medicinal pills.

The progress in pill refining was very gratifying. After five months of practice, four Blood God Sons were already able to refine Foundation Establishment stage medicinal pills.

Afterwards, he could use medicinal pills as assistance to accelerate the refinement of demonic blood and make up for the losses.

In battles, medicinal pills could also enhance their strength. In the long run, their power would not decrease but increase, albeit requiring some time.

Zhang Chen glanced at the enthusiastic Blood God Sons who were dedicatedly refining pills, nodded in satisfaction, and stood up to walk outside, prepared to witness the splendor of the other demonic sects.

At the entrance of the sect, disciples who had come to join in the excitement had already gathered. They eagerly awaited and discussed among themselves.

Zhang Chen had no intention of conversing with anyone and silently stood in a corner.

Many disciples exclaimed, “Look, what’s that!”

Zhang Chen looked up and noticed three enormous shadows in the distance approaching the Blood God Sect.

The scene inside the Blood God Sect couldn’t be seen from the outside, but within the sect, through the protective array, the situation outside could be observed as if through a single-sided red glass.

“It should be the other three demonic sects arriving.” Many people talked to each other, sharing information and details about the other three demonic sects.

Suddenly, all conversation ceased, and silence enveloped the area.

Above them appeared seven figures emanating a tremendous aura.

It was the Blood God Sect Master and six Golden Core Elders.

“Greetings, Sect Master and Elders!” Everyone bowed respectfully.

The Blood God Sect Master paid no attention to the disciples. He made a hand seal, and a beam of light shot out, dissolving the protective array.

The light landed on the protective array, causing the red barrier to tremble slightly before disappearing.

In just a few breaths, the three enormous shadows arrived outside the Blood God Sect.

They were three massive floating ships in the sky.

Another ship was composed of numerous elongated wooden blocks, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that these blocks were actually coffins.

“Roar!”

“Bang, bang, bang…”

A putrid stench permeated the air, and the coffins would occasionally shake, accompanied by wild beast-like roars and the sound of pounding and impact, as if something wanted to burst out of them, instilling a chilling fear and dread in people’s hearts

The third ship was incredibly eerie and mysterious, completely enveloped in black mist, with only vague outlines visible, appearing decayed and dilapidated.

Accompanied by gusts of gloomy wind and mournful howls, ethereal figures would occasionally flash within the black mist.

These illusory figures wore grimacing expressions of agony, seemingly struggling desperately, trying to break free from the ship’s hull.

The disciples of the Blood God Sect, as well as Zhang Chen, were all stunned by the sight of the three ships.

He even had a feeling that these three ships could easily claim his life.

While Zhang Chen carefully observed the three ships, a Ninth Stage Foundation Establishment disciple nearby softly introduced them.

“The first ship is the treasured artifact of the White Bone Hall, the White Bone Warship. It is said to have two forms. One is the flying ship before us, capable of carrying passengers. The other is transforming into the White Bone Demon Body, briefly unleashing the power of the Nascent Soul realm.

“If I’m not mistaken, the second ship is made up of ten thousand coffins. Inside the coffins are the Silver Armor Corpses, impervious to blades and immune to fire, possessing the strength of the Ninth Stage Foundation Establishment.

“These 10 ,ooo Silver Armor Corpses can form the sect’s protective array, the Mystic Yin Myriad Corpses Array, capable of trapping Nascent Soul realm.

“As for the third ship, it is the renowned treasure of the founder of the Nether Spring Sect, the Hades Ferry. It has the ability to alternate between illusion and reality, devouring souls, and traversing between the Netherworld and the mortal realm.

“Legend has it that the founder of the Nether Spring Sect was originally a Soul Formation stage powerhouse who unfortunately died and had his soul fall into the Netherworld. After hundreds of years, he returned to the mortal realm using this ferry, establishing the Nether Spring Sect.”

“Wow!” Upon hearing the introduction, many disciples couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment..

Zhang Chen’s gaze was also filled with excitement. If he could possess these three items, dealing with Elder Blood River would be a piece of cake.

However, he wasn’t even at the Golden Core stage yet. It was simply wishful thinking to obtain these three treasures capable of countering the Nascent Soul stage..
