...

Yan Xiaobao anxiously looked around, and then thought of other places where the Blood Qi was denser. But then he remembered how treacherous the people from the Blood Flow Sect were, and he began to feel angry.

"All the best places have been occupied. Unfortunately, I can't just go and defeat them. I have to keep a low profile!" Yan Xiaobao sighed. Seeing how slow his cultivation speed was made him very anxious.

"Well, I really don't have any choice. Since I can't cultivate in my own Immortal Cave, I'll just need to go outside." Rubbing his forehead, he thought for a moment and then decided it was the right thing to do. After waiting until nightfall, he sneaked out and chose an Immortal Cave in a forest not far away. After sitting cross-legged at a distance, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The area twisted and twisted, and then Blood Qi rose from the ground. He quickly absorbed it into his body, and it certainly felt great. He quickly released the Immortal Heavenly King, and when the Immortal Blood Qi was strong enough, he took another deep breath. Blood Qi surged into his body, and every part of his body felt like it was rejoicing.

However, as Yan Xiaobao absorbed the Blood Qi, the level in the area noticeably decreased. When it reached about thirty percent of its original level, the Foundation's cultivators in the area noticed it and were both shocked and surprised.

"What's going on?"

"Why has so much Blood Qi disappeared?!"

"Has a haunting suddenly appeared in this area?"

The seven or eight cultivators of the Foundation in the area rushed out of their Immortal Caves to investigate, full of fierce anger.

When Yan Xiaobao realized what had happened, he quickly stopped the technique and snuck away. The Foundation's cultivators searched the whole area but couldn't find anything amiss. Then they felt the Blood Qi in the area slowly recover, and they dispersed as usual, suspicious.

In the distance, Yan Xiaobao stood there looking angry. The people from the Blood Flow Sect were really too domineering. Before they erupted from their Immortal Caves to investigate, he barely managed two breaths.

"So," he sighed and said, "it seems like I can't stay in one place for long. At most, I can take two breaths before I have to leave!" But then he suddenly remembered something, and cautiously looked around the area. After making sure he didn't see any rabbit ears, he breathed a sigh of relief at the bitterness of the life he led. In the future, he would have to whisper very quietly and be extremely careful.

Anyway, he made a decision.

From this moment onward, he would appear like he was stealing chickens within the spirit tail of the Spiritual Flow Sect.

But then, he realized that something seemed wrong. After some thought, he began to feel angry. "No, no. I have a relationship with this giant. So, this thing belongs to me! They stole my Blood Qi!

"Shameless! How dare they steal my Blood Qi! Well, I'll just have to endure the humiliation. I refuse to butt heads with idiots!" Fuming, he walked a distance to another place. After sensing the Blood Qi level in the area, he rotated his cultivation base and transformed himself into something like a black hole.

Aside from Yan Xiaobao, no one would hear the silent rumble. To him, it was like thunder in his mind. The black hole immediately caused all the Blood Qi in the area to rush toward him. He quickly absorbed it, then hurriedly left.

Behind him, alarms went off...

This was how he spent the whole night... 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

That night, the cultivators of the Foundation established at the Middle Peak frowned. Many of them were practicing late into the night, but then were interrupted by the sudden lack of Blood Qi. Due to being interrupted at critical moments, some were even hit by backlash. Angered, they rushed to investigate late into the night, but by then, Yan Xiaobao was long gone.

The most unfortunate was a particular cultivator of fame within the Foundation, known to others as the divine master - God. He had a rather luxurious Immortal Cave, surrounded by Blood Trees, holding a relatively high position within the sect. That night, he was performing a secret divination magic, a dangerous thing to interrupt, which required a large amount of Blood Qi.

When he was interrupted and the intake of Blood Qi stopped, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood and immediately withered. Then, his mind was so shocked by the intense pain that he fainted while screaming.

As the sun began to rise, Yan Xiaobao hurried back to his Immortal Cave, extremely excited. He absorbed so much Blood Qi, not only was he able to resume cultivating, but he could do so faster than before. Once he was back inside, he proudly looked around, then jutted his chin. With a gloomy expression, he checked around to make sure there were no rabbits in the area, then finally relaxed.

"Hahaha! My wisdom prevails again! I don't need to rob anyone, nor do I need to fight. Wherever I go, I just need to take two breaths, and no one will be the wiser." Yan Xiaobao was very pleased. During the day, he cooperated with the Violet Qi Heavenspan Incantation, Human Control Great Magic, and primordial power, and when night fell, he snuck into the shadows like a cat.

This time, he chose a different route. At every place he stopped, he would take two deep breaths, then rush to another place, where he would do the same thing.
