This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 688 - 22 Four Spirits Essence Blood_2
Among them were monkeys over seventeen or eighteen feet tall, gigantic bears over thirty feet tall, wolves with wings, and above in the sky, numerous demon birds were flying.
Lu Qingshan even saw a Phoenix Bird with an extremely majestic appearance that flashed across the sky and disappeared behind a mountain shrouded in clouds.
Flap flap!
While Lu Qingshan was observing these strange demon beasts, a rather peculiar-looking, semi-translucent butterfly, about seven or eight times larger than a normal butterfly, fluttered its wings and flew past him.
"What kind of demon beast is this? Its appearance is so peculiar," Lu Qingshan curiously asked.
The long-faced elder glanced at it and laughed, "I don’t recognize it either because actually, there are many new species of demon beasts cultivated by the great cultivators in the sect, each species unique in the world, known only to those who cultivated them."
Lu Qingshan felt somewhat emotional.
This seemed not so much like coming to a Human Race Sect, but rather like entering a large "zoo," a "biological research base," a demon nation on earth.
The beast roars still echoed continuously.
This was a lively scene completely unseen in the Sword Sect.
Lu Qingshan then looked around and saw four towering peaks reaching into the clouds in the northern area of the Rinsing Spirit Sect.
The four peaks stood like four long swords thrust into the sky.
At the top of these four mountains, there were also towering statues of various colors but all lifelike.
On the peak of the eastern mountain, the statue was of an azure Azure Dragon, coiling and writhing.
It stretched for hundreds of meters, like an indestructible steel wall, cast from the valuable Qinggang rock, full of a cold aura and an imposing pressure, as if ready to leap out at any moment.
The statue on the western mountain peak was that of a White Tiger, sitting cross-legged.
The White Tiger statue was cast from white divine iron, so the whole statue was bright white, its huge tiger eyes overlooking the entire northern area, its pupils dark and fierce, vivid and lifelike.
Divine Grace like the ocean, Divine Might like a prison, terrifying momentum flooded forth.
On the peak of the southern mountain, there was a Phoenix Bird statue.
The statue was fiery red, majority of its body positioned upward, with eight inches for its center wings, symbolizing the eight winds, its waist broad by four inches, symbolizing the four seasons, its circular base representing the endless cycle of yin and yang.
On the peak of the northern mountain, the statue was that of a Xuanwu, a tortoise-snake.
The statue, cast from Xuan iron, was filled with a striking sense of power, its body black, shimmering with a dark light, and scales that sparkled with a dim black light covered its body, overflowing with a battle intent, majestic and extraordinary.
Even by Lu Qingshan’s standards, he found it somewhat shocking.
Noticing Lu Qingshan’s scrutiny, the long-faced elder took the initiative to introduce, "This is our Rinsing Spirit Sect’s Four Spirits Peaks.
To the east is Azure Dragon Peak, to the west is White Tiger Peak, to the south is Vermilion Peak, and to the north is Xuanwu Peak.
Our Rinsing Spirit Sect is accordingly divided into four branches, cultivating the Four Spirits."
"Cultivating the Four Spirits?" Lu Qingshan’s gaze flickered.

"The so-called Four Spirits is naturally just the outward explanation. The Four Spirits are ancient spirit beasts, existing as single entities. How could they be tamed as spirit pets?
However, the cultivation of the Four Spirits is not entirely baseless, because each branch of our Rinsing Spirit Sect has its own heritage," the long-faced elder explained candidly, not overstating nor belittling, "For instance, the Xuanwu branch focuses on cultivating turtoise-snake type demon beasts of the Water and Earth elements.
These demon beasts contain traces of Xuanwu Bloodline to varying extents, and under the cultivation of our Sect’s secret techniques, if pushed to the limit, they can potentially revert to their ancestral form and exhibit some of the Xuanwu’s divine might from the past.
The same holds true for the other three branches.
In addition, we are also constantly collecting Essence Blood of the Four Spirits. If you happen to slay demon beasts that possess the Four Spirits’ Bloodline, you can also sell their physical bodies to us.
The price offered by our Rinsing Spirit Sect will certainly be at least fifty percent higher than the market price," the long-faced elder casually mentioned, "Of course, only for the bodies of demon beasts that possess the Four Spirits Bloodline."
"The Rinsing Spirit Sect collects Essence Blood of the Four Spirits?" Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan suddenly remembered an incident that had occurred a long time ago.
So long ago he had almost forgotten it.
If it were not for the long-faced elder mentioning this Essence Blood of the Four Spirits, he definitely would not have recalled the matter.
Immediately afterward, a thought flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning.
Although the long-faced elder noticed Lu Qingshan’s significant reaction, he didn’t think too much of it.
Assuming Lu Qingshan was merely curious about their purpose in collecting the Essence Blood of the Four Spirits, he didn’t hold back and took the initiative to introduce, "In our Rinsing Spirit Sect, there is a Divine Skill that must be mastered by high realm cultivators, which is also the sect’s signature Divine Skill, named ’Soul Hosting and Beast Control.’
The so-called Soul Hosting and Beast Control involves artificially refining a physical body of a demon beast, then segregating a part of our Divine Soul to reside in the refined physical body of the demon beast, thereby controlling this demon beast to battle for us."
The higher the quality of the demon beast’s physical body we refine, the stronger the combat power it can display under our control, and the Essence Blood of the Four Spirits is a divine substance to enhance the quality of a demon beast’s body."
"Much like your Sword Cultivators’ Life-bound Swords, we can also continually refine these demon beast bodies to enhance their quality.
A significant portion of our great cultivators’ combat power depends on the quality of the demon beast bodies they refine.
Therefore, Essence Blood of the Four Spirits has always been a highly sought-after item in high demand by our sect."
The long-faced elder was quite forthright, not shying away from the secrets of his sect’s heritage.
