Pirates: Get the Ice Demon Slayer Magic at the beginning

Ye Fan's life in Lingyuan City seems peaceful, but it is actually full of undercurrents. As an ordinary casual cultivator, he wanders around the city's taverns, chambers of commerce, mission halls and other places where casual cultivators gather, completing various low-key tasks to earn cultivation resources while quietly collecting the latest information about Lingtian Domain, Xuantian Domain and Blood Demon Sect.

In a busy tavern in Lingyuan City, Ye Fan sat quietly in a corner, holding a pot of sake in his hand, but his ears were closely following the conversations around him. The tavern was bustling with people, and many monks were talking loudly about the recent changes.

"Have you heard? Lingtian Domain has completely collapsed. After the domain lord Xiao Tianling died in battle, the Blood Demon Sect directly swept across the entire domain. Now even the original resistance forces have been destroyed." A cultivator said with a hint of regret in his tone.

"This is nothing. The key is the Blood Demon Sect's leader, Xue Kuangtian! Not only has he absorbed countless lives, he also recently broke through to the Supreme Realm. His strength is already terrifying beyond imagination." Another cultivator lowered his voice, with deep fear in his tone.

This sentence shocked Ye Fan. He put down his wine glass, tapped his fingers on the table, and joined the topic with a normal expression: "Supreme Realm? Could it be that the demon giant in Xuantian Realm has really reached this level?"

Seeing someone agreeing, the cultivator nodded immediately, as if he had found someone to confide in: "Of course it's true! It is said that he personally took action recently and destroyed the last remaining major sect in Lingtian Territory. No one can stop him!"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, and his fingers inadvertently tightened the wine glass. He had long known about the brutality of the Blood Demon Sect, but he did not expect that Xue Kuangtian had actually broken through to the Supreme Realm. The Supreme Realm was already above the vast majority of cultivators, enough to split mountains and split the earth, and dominate an area. This made Ye Fan feel unprecedented pressure.

In addition to asking for information in the tavern, Ye Fan also began to take on some errands and get to know the situation better through contact with various cultivators. He found that the Blood Demon Sect was not only the overlord of Xuantian Domain, but also began to extend its tentacles to the border area of ​​Tianyuan Domain. Many small sects and independent cultivators had to succumb to the threat of the Blood Demon Sect, and some cultivators even abandoned the righteous path and turned to the devil's way.

"The Blood Demon Sect is really cruel. All the cultivators in Xuantian Domain are forced to practice the Blood Demon Sect's techniques. I heard that those who don't practice will be directly sacrificed in blood." A casual cultivator was full of uneasiness in his words when talking to Ye Fan.

"Alas, it's not just Xuantian Domain, now even some border forces in Tianyuan Domain have begun to compromise. You don't know, the Blood Demon Sect is too powerful, especially Xue Kuangtian. It is said that he has begun planning a plan to capture the entire Tianyuan Domain." Another casual cultivator added in a low voice.

These words made Ye Fan feel even more depressed. His original plan was to use the power of Lingtian Domain to consume the Blood Demon Sect, but now that Lingtian Domain was completely annihilated, it actually boosted the Blood Demon Sect's arrogance. This forced him to rethink his path.

One day, Ye Fan came to a high-end chamber of commerce and heard that there would be an auction of information about the major domains. He spent a few precious spirit stones and successfully bought a copy of the latest detailed information. After opening the jade slip, he glanced over it and his expression gradually became solemn.

The jade slip clearly recorded the details of how Xue Kuangtian broke through to the Supreme Realm. In order to break through, he actually used the entire Lingtian Domain as an altar, slaughtered tens of millions of lives, and absorbed countless blood essences and soul power. This method can be described as inhumane, but it was also because of this that his power made a qualitative leap and became a true Supreme Realm powerhouse.

"He not only broke through the Supreme Realm, but also mastered a legendary magic secret method, the 'Blood Curse', which can use essence and blood as a guide to curse or even control low-level cultivators." Ye Fan read out the contents of the jade slip softly, frowning. This made him realize that Xue Kuangtian had become a terrifying existence that could not be measured by common sense.

Although the Blood Demon Sect's expansion is booming, some of the top forces in Tianyuan Domain obviously cannot sit idly by. The jade slip mentioned that several super sects in Tianyuan Domain have begun to discuss countermeasures and prepare to deal with the threat of the Blood Demon Sect. However, due to the strength of the Blood Demon Sect and the disastrous defeat of Lingtian Domain, there are also many disagreements within these sects.

"Some people may have already begun to compromise with the Blood Demon Sect..." Ye Fan thought of this and became calmer. He knew that in such a situation, trust was the most difficult thing to maintain.

Returning to the inn where he was staying temporarily, Ye Fan sat quietly in front of the window, looking into the distance. He knew that the Blood Demon Sect's current strength had far exceeded his expectations, and his strength was still not enough to shake such a behemoth.

"Xue Kuangtian..." He muttered to himself, with a flash of anger and unwillingness in his eyes. However, he quickly took a deep breath and suppressed the emotion.

"No, continuing to be passive like this will only put me in a dead end. I must find more trump cards, or some means to restrain the Blood Demon Sect." He clenched his fists and made a secret decision in his heart.

Ye Fan decided to hide his identity temporarily and continue to pretend to be an ordinary cultivator, looking for means to restrain the Blood Demon Sect's skills in Tianyuan Domain. He believed that this powerful domain must hide some power that can fight against the devil. He still needed more time and higher strength to complete his revenge plan.

Ye Fan memorized the information of Xue Kuangtian's breakthrough to the Supreme Realm and began to plan his next move. He knew that although the righteous path was defeated, hope was not extinguished. And he would be an important part of igniting the fire of resistance.

Ye Fan's life in Tianyuan Domain gradually stabilized. He chose to temporarily put aside all disputes and integrate into this strange and powerful world. In order to obtain cultivation resources, he joined the largest independent cultivation organization in Tianyuan Domain - the Independent Cultivator Alliance.

The Loose Cultivator Alliance is a shelter for many unaffiliated cultivators in the Tianyuan Domain. It is both a loose organization and a closely connected group. By joining it, you can obtain intelligence, resources, and even mission opportunities, but you also need to abide by certain rules, such as completing missions regularly to maintain your identity.

Ye Fan came to the alliance headquarters, submitted some simple information, and after some assessment, he successfully became an ordinary outer circle member. He received a gray waist badge with the four small words "San Xiu Alliance" engraved on it, and also received a task guide.

The deacon in charge of reception reminded: "Newbie, the points of our Loose Cultivator Alliance are not earned casually. Hunting monsters, completing commissioned tasks, and exploring unknown places can all be exchanged for points. However, the risk is proportional to the reward, so don't think about making a lot of money easily."

Ye Fan nodded, expressing his understanding in a low-key manner. He knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he had to proceed step by step.

After joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Ye Fan immediately selected some low-difficulty hunting missions. His target was the Monster Forest outside the city, where there were many kinds of monsters. It was a dangerous place, but also an ideal place for cultivators to hone themselves.

He entered the jungle alone, his figure as fast as lightning, silently shuttling between the dense shadows of the trees. Soon, a low-level monster beast, the Wind-Splitting Wolf, came into his sight. The Wind-Splitting Wolf was agile and had sharp teeth. Although it was not very powerful, it was still a big threat to low-level monks.

Ye Fan silently chanted and released the soul of the Fire Chi Tiger. The beast spirit he captured became his right-hand man at this moment. The Fire Chi Tiger roared, and flames gushed out of its body. The strong pressure frightened the Wind Wolf and made it dare not act rashly. Ye Fan seized the opportunity, and the spirit sword in his hand drew a dazzling arc of light, directly cutting off the throat of the monster.

After cleaning up the corpse, Ye Fan put the core parts of the monster into the storage bag. These materials, including the monster core and fur, are important items that can be used to exchange for points.

The danger of the Monster Jungle comes not only from the monsters, but also from the covetousness of other cultivators. During a mission, Ye Fan successfully hunted a valuable shadow leopard, but when he was collecting materials, two casual cultivators suddenly appeared.

"Little brother, the fur of the shadow leopard belongs to us. You'd better be sensible and keep it." One of them said with a sneer, and the magic weapon in his hand flashed with a cold light.

Ye Fan raised his head and glanced at the two of them indifferently. He didn't say anything nonsense. He moved his body and rushed forward with a sharp sword energy from the spirit sword in his hand. The fire tiger immediately appeared beside him and burst into a deafening roar.

The two casual cultivators obviously did not expect Ye Fan to be so powerful, and they lost their composure for a moment and retreated in embarrassment. Ye Fan snorted coldly and did not continue to chase, but quickly collected the materials of the Shadow Leopard and left the scene.

Back at the mission hall of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Ye Fan handed the spoils of hunting to the registrar. The other party checked the monster materials one by one and finally evaluated the total points for this mission.

"Two Wind-Splitting Wolves and one Shadow Leopard, a total of fifty points. Well done." The registrar looked at Ye Fan approvingly and handed him a new badge. The number on the badge changed from "0" to "50".

Ye Fan took the badge in a low-key manner, but a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. Although this was only a tiny amount of points, every bit of resources was crucial to him at the moment.

As the hunting missions were completed, Ye Fan gradually accumulated some reputation in the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and also established cooperative relationships with some Loose Cultivators who also pursued self-protection. He knew that in such an environment, lone rangers often could not go too far.

During an accidental mission, he met several casual cultivators with the same cautious personality, including a young man named Han Qing. Han Qing was calm and experienced, had a rich understanding of monsters, and became Ye Fan's good helper in the jungle.

"Brother Ye, the Monster Jungle is full of dangers, and the most important thing for us independent cultivators is to stick together for warmth. You have the strength, and I have the experience. If we continue to cooperate, we will definitely earn more points." Han Qing suggested.

Ye Fan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. Although he was used to acting alone, the current situation was complicated, and cooperating with reliable people was undoubtedly the best choice.

In the following days, Ye Fan cooperated with Han Qing and others many times to hunt monsters and complete tasks. He accumulated resources in a low-key manner and gradually improved his foundation. On the huge platform of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, he quietly hid his true identity and also prepared for future revenge step by step.
