Chapter 421: Rewards Increased
For Lu Changjing, the difference between knife skills and sword skills is really not that big.

After obtaining the Yi Zhong Sword, Lu Changjing was overjoyed and directly changed to practicing the Nine Dragon Sword Technique. He practiced the Nine Dragon Sword Technique within just a few days.

The power of the Nine Dragon Sword Technique at the master level is in no way inferior to the previous sword technique, and with the blessing of the Yi Zhong Sword, its power is even further enhanced.

With Lu Changjing's current resources and wealth, it is naturally not difficult for him to obtain a top-level earth weapon.

However, it would be very difficult to obtain a sword like Yi Zhong Jian that was almost tailor-made for him. It was even more difficult than obtaining a heavenly weapon.

The Yi Zhong Sword was a surprise to Lu Changjing. After the surprise, the next step was naturally to practice hard.

Martial arts, combat skills, secondary positions... are all waiting for him, and he doesn't have any free time at all. What's more, the blood beasts are now moving strangely and the Wanxiang Sea is somewhat uneasy. He needs to speed up his practice and possess stronger strength.

No one dares to confirm when the blood disaster will break out. According to the current vision, the possibility of a thousand-year blood disaster is very high.

The so-called thousand-year blood disaster, also known as the great blood disaster, does not mean that it occurs once every thousand years.

In some sea areas, if the blood beasts reproduce too quickly, this may happen once every few hundred years. However, in some sea areas, if the blood beasts reproduce slowly, or are often cleared out, this may only happen once every one or two thousand years. This is all possible.

For example, the last thousand-year blood disaster in the Vientiane Sea occurred more than 1,300 years ago. In other words, it has been more than 1,300 years, and a thousand-year blood disaster, that is, a great blood disaster, has not occurred yet.

The same is true for the century-long blood disaster. It may happen once every few decades, or it may only happen once every one or two hundred years.

As for the ten thousand year blood disaster, it goes without saying that it also does not happen after ten thousand years, but has a deviation.

Sometimes it will be affected by other factors. For example, if there is a large-scale invasion of blood beasts from other sea areas, it will cause blood disasters of various levels to occur ahead of schedule.

Blood disasters are not fixed. The so-called blood disasters that last for a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years... only distinguish the levels of blood disasters, not the time when they occur.

But generally speaking, the predictions for these times are relatively accurate, and the errors will not be too large, unless there are special circumstances.

Just like the unusual movement of the blood beasts this time, the reason why many people think that this is a sign of a thousand-year blood disaster is mainly because the time has come and the blood beasts have been breeding for more than a thousand years, and the number of them gathered is indeed enough to form a thousand-year blood disaster.

In addition, the number of blood beasts moving abnormally far exceeds the small blood disaster, so it is normal to speculate that a large blood disaster may occur.

However, it has been more than 1,300 years, which is 300 years later than normal time. It is normal for a major blood disaster to occur.

Fortunately, Chang'an Island is located deep in the Fengtian Cold Prison. There are very few blood beasts inside, and the blood beasts outside cannot enter.

Especially after the previous disaster, the number of blood beasts was only one in a hundred, almost none left, and it was impossible to form any blood disaster.

To a certain extent, it can be considered a blessing in disguise, although this is not what Chang'an Island wants.

The blood disaster is certainly a calamity, but if you can survive it safely, you can also gain a huge amount of resources and treasures from it, especially the corpses of blood beasts, which are very tonic and of great help to your spiritual practice.

Lu Changjing would rather face the threat of blood disaster than face the Fengtian Cold Prison.

As time went by, the signs of the great blood disaster became more and more severe. Abnormalities were discovered on many islands and then reported to the Wanxiang Sect.

Lu Changjing intensified his practice and never stopped purifying the Blood Black Tortoise and the Blood Azure Dragon. Thanks to the purification technique that he had practiced to the highest level, in just over a year, Lu Changjing successfully purified the Blood Black Tortoise and turned it into his own Black Tortoise monster servant.

But at this time, small-scale blood disasters began to break out frequently. The Wanxiang Sect had already confirmed that a large-scale blood disaster was about to break out. It would probably break out in a few months at the fastest, or one or two years at the slowest.

Faced with the thousand-year blood disaster, the Wanxiang Sect did not dare to be careless and had already begun preparations.

Tasks of clearing out the blood beasts were assigned one after another. In the next three years, the contribution points obtained from killing blood beasts would increase by about 30%.

Among the tasks issued in the Contribution Hall, more than 80% are tasks of clearing blood beasts. At the same time, semi-mandatory tasks are directly assigned, which is that all formal disciples must kill a certain number of blood beasts.

The higher the disciple's ranking on the major lists, the better the treatment he or she will receive, and the more blood beasts he or she will need to kill.

As a well-known peerless genius on the three major lists of Wanxiang Sect, the number of blood beasts that Lu Changjing needs to kill is naturally an astronomical number.

However, even if there were no such semi-mandatory tasks, Lu Changjing would still kill a large number of blood beasts for the sake of his own industry and resources.

The purpose of these tasks is to reduce the number of blood beasts as much as possible before the blood disaster breaks out, thereby weakening the power of the blood disaster.

The thousand-year-level blood disaster was beyond imagination in scale. Not to mention the Wanxiang Sect, all human beings in the entire sea area, and even all kinds of demons and monsters began to take action and jointly clean up all kinds of blood beasts in this sea area.

Everyone put aside their past conflicts and temporarily united.

Because everyone knows that a blood disaster of this magnitude could very likely bring disastrous consequences if not handled carefully. Even the Wanxiang Sect, as the overlord of the Wanxiang Sea, could suffer heavy losses.

Perhaps he can continue to be the overlord of the Vientiane Sea, but if this happens a few more times, he may lose his position as the overlord.

Therefore, whenever the Wanxiang Sect faces a thousand-year blood disaster, it will not be careless and will avoid any accidents.

Lu Changjing naturally also received relevant news and tasks. At this moment, he was practicing the Wanxiang Sword Controlling Technique, which is also the number one sword control technique in the Wanxiang Sea Area.

This All-Effect Sword Technique was obtained by him at great expense of money, from the Heavenly Sword Elephant. It is capable of wielding the sword in all kinds of environments to attack the enemy, and has auxiliary and defensive effects, making it all-round and without blind spots.

Moreover, its power in all aspects is quite amazing, whether it is attack, defense or assistance, they are all top-notch. Only when combined can it become the number one sword-controlling technique in the Wanxiang Sea.

Ever since he got the Yi Zhong Sword, Lu Changjing specially exchanged for this Wan Xiang Sword Controlling Technique. After more than a year of practice, with the help of many sudden realizations, he has already practiced it to the level of minor success and can exert sufficient power.

The Nine Dragon Sword Technique has also been further improved, and when combined with the Yi Zhong Sword, the power it unleashes is in no way inferior to the previous sword technique.

Billions of sword lights flickered around, and each sword light was a small and exquisite sword. Under the control of Lu Changjing's terrifying Xuanhun power, these swords were like living things, shuttling back and forth to form formations, the highest of which had reached the level of a top-level Xuan formation group.

The Wanxiang Sword-controlling Technique is worthy of being the best sword-controlling technique in the Wanxiang Sea Area. It is indeed extraordinary.

Lu Changjing was naturally keeping a close eye on what was happening in the Wanxiang Sea. He had originally planned to wait until he purified the Blood Azure Dragon before going out to hunt blood beasts and earn Wanxiang contributions.

However, he did not expect to receive news soon that the number of blood beasts gathered around the Baishi mining area under his control was a bit unusual, and there was a high possibility of a small blood disaster.

The Baishi mining area is an important industry he obtained from Cao Mei, which makes Cao Mei, a middle-level earth master, attach great importance to it. Every year, it can produce a large amount of Xuan-level resources, white stone, and some white stone essence, which is an earth-level resource. Not to mention Cao Mei, Lu Changjing also attaches great importance to this place. Among the many industries and resources of the Dajing Immortal Dynasty, the value of the Baishi mining area is one of the best.

Upon receiving the news that the blood beasts around the Baishi mining area were unusually restless, Lu Changjing no longer cared about practicing and purifying the Blood Azure Dragon, and immediately took the Blood Kunpeng and the Blood Black Tortoise and rushed towards the Baishi mining area.

Of course, the Blood Kunpeng and Blood Black Tortoise who were dispatched were the clones of the Earth Lord, and they were hiding around Lu Changjing. On the surface, Lu Changjing was leading a large number of warriors and legions from the Dajing Immortal Dynasty.

After learning that there were blood beasts above level 40 roaming around the Baishi mining area, Cai Chaoan and Lu Xun both arranged for overlords of the Earth Lord level to follow them, but they were rejected by Lu Changjing.

With his current combat power comparable to that of a mid-level Earth Lord, he can even compete with an upper-level Earth Lord. Especially when dealing with blood beasts, he has even defeated blood beasts of the upper-level Earth Lord level.

No matter how powerful the blood beasts around the Baishi mining area are, they can't be stronger than the upper-level Earth Lords. If there really is a blood beast at the extreme Earth Lord level, Lu Changjing may be able to kill it with the trump card he has hidden.

In addition, many areas under the jurisdiction of the Nine Yang Elephant are now also restless, so there is no need to waste the combat power of two Earth Lords.

Moreover, Lu Changjing didn't want others to snatch Wanxiang's contribution from him. He had finally come across such a good opportunity and he couldn't miss it.

So he personally led a large number of warriors from the Dajing Immortal Dynasty to the Baishi mining area. He also secretly had the clones of Blood Kunpeng and Blood Xuanwu as backup, so he basically didn't have to worry about encountering any danger.

After all, according to the news from the Baishi mining area, the strongest blood beast that appeared in the surrounding area was only level 42, and even level 43 blood beasts were not found. It's just that there were a little too many of them.

Even with a large number of people, Lu Changjing and his party arrived at the Baishi mining area after dozens of hours. The huge Baishi mining area covers nearly 100 million square kilometers and is an island formed by a mountain range.

There are mountains everywhere as far as the eye can see, with almost no plains, valleys, lakes, etc. Deep in the mountains are rich white stone mines that can be used to forge weapons above the Xuan level, and their value is extremely amazing.

In order to obtain the Baishi mining area, Cao Mei did not hesitate to kill several of her close friends. Only then did she monopolize the Baishi mining area, which also brought her valuable resources and treasures over the years.

There are millions of miners in the huge Baishi mining area, basically all of them are warriors, there are also many masters, and even gods and demons. Ordinary people cannot mine the Baishi mine at all.

Even if warriors do not have special high-level mining equipment, they cannot mine white stone ore. After all, this is a kind of mysterious stone with extremely amazing hardness, and it is not so easy to mine.

In addition to the miners, there are nearly one million stationed warriors here. Together with the relatives and friends of these miners and stationed warriors, the total population of the Baishi mining area has reached hundreds of millions.

For an island of only nearly 100 million square kilometers, this can be said to be quite dense and prosperous, and it is also one of the richest islands among the surrounding islands.

The formation arranged in the Baishi mining area is a low-level ground formation group, called the Five Metals Mutual Generation Formation, which effectively utilizes the various mineral powers of the Baishi minerals.

With Lu Changjing's current attainments in the art of formation as a top-level Xuanzhen Master, he is barely able to manipulate the Five Metal Mutual Generation Formation. With the power of this group of formations alone, it is no problem for him to deal with dozens of lower-level Earth Lords.

However, this would require a large amount of spirit stones, black stones, and even earth stones. This is his own territory, and Lu Changjing would not waste it like that.

The Five Metal Mutual Generation Formation is mainly used to protect the Baishi mining area. As for killing those blood beasts above level 40, it is better to leave it to Lu Changjing himself.

As the dragon and phoenix chariot moved, a large number of guarding warriors, miners, and their relatives and friends... all bowed down to Lu Changjing.

"Greetings to Prince Lu!"

Lu Changjing walked out of the dragon and phoenix chariot and asked everyone to get up and deal with their own affairs and not to pay any attention to him.

"Everything is running normally in the mining area. Leave the blood beasts outside to me and the warriors guarding the area. Don't worry."

"If there are disciples of the Wanxiang Sect who want to earn Wanxiang contributions, they can also join the garrison warriors, but they must obey our command."

……

After hearing Lu Changjing's words, the Baishi mining area, which had been a little anxious, suddenly calmed down.

Prince Lu, who ranks in the top three on the Wanxiang Blood Demon List, came to the Baishi mining area in person. There is also a ground-level formation group and the Five Metal Mutual Generation Formation for protection here. With the help of the Xuan formation group, Prince Lu can kill many blood beasts above level 40, not to mention the ground formation group.

This time, Lu Changjing also brought a large number of elite troops from the Dajing Immortal Dynasty, more than one million in total. The weakest of them were high-level warriors, many of whom were masters and gods and demons, and the number of Xuanzuns among them was as high as three digits.

With the support of the Five Metals Mutual Generation Formation, there would be basically no danger in the Baishi Mine Area unless a large number of blood beasts above level 40 appeared.

The Prince's palace had been prepared long ago. It was located deep in the Baishi mining area and was made of many ores. From a distance it looked like platinum. It was also the core of the Five Metals Mutual Generation Array.

Lu Changjing only needs to stay here to control the huge Five Metal Mutual Generation Formation and attack the enemy.

The fluctuations of the mysterious soul covered a territory of billions of square kilometers, completely spreading outside the Baishi mining area and monitoring the vast sea areas around it.

Hundreds of kilometers under the sea are also within the range of Xuanhun's surveillance. In this area, there are blood beasts shuttling back and forth everywhere. Some are as small as a few centimeters and some are as large as tens of thousands of meters. They are densely packed and crisscrossed, and battles occur from time to time.

All the blood beasts were becoming more and more agitated, and they might launch an attack on the Baishi mining area at any time. It could be said that Lu Changjing and his party arrived at the right time.

"Roar……"

"茻..."

"Ow..."

……

The cries of various blood beasts echoed one after another deep in the seabed, and no one knew what they meant.

Lu Changjing was also looking for suitable targets for enslavement, to see if he could take this opportunity to capture a few more powerful blood beasts. However, after some investigation, he found that they were all low-level blood beasts. He didn't even find any intermediate blood beasts. It was not worth it for Lu Changjing to enslave them.

After arriving at the Prince's Palace and taking a short rest, Lu Changjing began to understand the Five Metal Mutual Generation Formation here.

With his current attainments in the art of formations, and having done his homework before this, it only took him a few hours to master the Five Metal Mutual Generation Formation and unleash most of its power.

Then it’s time to deal with the blood beasts around!
