The method of consuming human essence and blood to boost one’s own is certainly not a viable path. However, if one has the money, buying a bit of blood should be acceptable; the only concern is that purchasing it in large quantities would likely arouse suspicion of being a demonic cultivator. One could also buy the blood of Demonic Beasts or fierce beasts under the guise of researching talismans. No matter how I turn it over in my mind, I still cannot bypass the problem of money.
In the Cultivation World, earning money is actually very difficult. The resources outside have already been monopolized; only within the ruins is there a chance to strike it rich overnight. That spirit herb garden inside is pure, unadulterated wealth. It seems I must take the risk.
Thinking of risk, I inexplicably thought of that fellow Tianjizi. He once told me that I would find the Longevity Fruit and that I should remember to share one with them when the time came. It seems these fortune tellers are truly formidable. Even I didn't know I would go in, yet they had already calculated it. After I get out, I must foster good relations with these people. I hope they can truly remain fair and impartial and avoid meddling in others' affairs, otherwise, things will be difficult in the future.
