This is because dozens of people have already entered these two earthly yin veins to condense their evil energy, making the evil energy within them extremely weak. If Jiao Fei had chosen to condense his evil energy within the sect, his future achievements would have been at least five times, possibly even ten or twenty times, less.
The Heavenly River Orthodox Method is said to "burst the four seas and let the stars enter the Heavenly River." Its greatest advantage is its overwhelming magical power, which is unparalleled in the world. However, once the evil energy is insufficient when condensing evil, this advantage is completely lost, and it becomes no different from ordinary Taoist mental techniques.
Jiao Fei learned from a certain spirit in the Yuan Shen Illusion about a Xuan Shuang Yin Sha that had never been used before, but the location was overseas, which made him quite hesitant.
The endless sea has always been the territory of the true dragon race, unlike the situation on land.
"Master Lin has been traveling far and wide, making all sorts of plans in order to go to sea and condense evil spirits. I want to attain immortality and enlightenment, so how can I back down in the face of difficulties? I'm determined to go to Black Wind Island."
A surge of pride rose in Jiao Fei's heart. He glanced at the thirteen jade slips and said, "Regarding the Crimson Fire Yuan Copper Tree, I'll go back to the sect and ask Senior Brother Su Zhen and the others. Perhaps they can help you, Daoist."
"Then I'll leave this matter to Brother Jiao," Lin Yi said happily.
His aim in acquiring the Crimson Fire Copper Tree was not only to build the secret ship, the Great Sea Loach, to facilitate future voyages to find the last of the seven innate true waters, the formless true water, but also primarily to reforge the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.
Jiao Fei turned his gaze away from the jade slip and said, "How should we inform Master Lin if there is any news in the future?"
"I'll be staying in this Rainbow Cloud Cave for now. If I'm not here, Brother Jiao can leave a message inside." Lin Yi said, putting away the jade slip. A ray of light appeared at his fingertips, outlining a simple map.
After Jiao Fei made a note of it, the two chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.
Lin Yi returned to Caiyun Cave, set up a restrictive spell, and then entered the cave within the Qiankun Cauldron.
Zhu Caiyun was currently cultivating the Supreme True Loach Seven Transformations Dragon Technique, transforming into a golden-scaled loach, constantly breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
After her first attempt at cultivation, Zhu Caiyun almost gave up, but later she discovered that the "true fire seed" in her dantian had shrunk a little.
Although it was just a small thing, it gave Zhu Caiyun the motivation to persevere.
Lin Yi had no time to pay attention to the spider demon. He sat cross-legged in front of the pool in the center of the cave, his hands alternating between water and fire, constantly refining the yellow-robed monk within the Tai Chi seal.
Three days later, the bloodthirsty divine light surrounding the yellow-robed monk was completely cleared, and he was no longer able to resist.
From the yellow-robed monk, Lin Yi not only obtained the location of the passage to the underground Blood River, but also a portion of the incantation for the Blood River Technique, and a scroll of the Buddhist Lotus Sutra…
This Blood River Great Art was created by the Blood River Holy Mother, a primordial spirit master in the Blood River. Although it is mysterious and powerful, she failed to cultivate the magic power of the Blood River True Water.
This was a great pity for Lin Yi.
The next day, Lin Yi found a secluded spot on the banks of the Tongtian River and immediately disappeared into the water.
The Tongtian River had abundant water and immense underwater pressure, so Lin Yi naturally wouldn't try to withstand it. He transformed into a golden-scaled loach and dived underwater.
After countless twists and turns and through several hidden currents, Lin Yi's vision suddenly opened up, and he arrived at a huge underground cave.
Below this cave is a bottomless sinkhole, from which the faint hissing of strange objects can be heard. The water here is completely red, a vast expanse of crimson.
Lin Yi landed on a protruding rock, below which was a bottomless sinkhole, where the Blood River poured down with a deafening roar.
It evokes a profound sense of terror in listeners, as if the enormous cave could collapse at any moment, and the world could be destroyed in the next instant.
Even though Lin Yi traveled through various realms and saw countless landscapes, he was still deeply moved.
The Blood River True Water has always been described as extremely evil and filthy, extremely yin and extremely poisonous. Lin Yi never expected that the Blood River, with its surging flow, would also have such a world-shaking and all-encompassing side.
After a while, Lin Yi calmed down and used the Eternal Light to conceal his presence. He then sat cross-legged on the rock, silently sensing the pulse of the Blood River.
Flowing in the river of blood are resentment, despair, anger, and hatred... these are the cries of countless lives before their demise.
Within Lin Yi's sea of consciousness, the "Star River True Scripture," based on the incantation of the Blood River Great Art, rapidly deduced its power. A kind of Blood River magic appeared within his body, but it was always just a little short, failing to condense into true Blood River water.
Lin Yi stood up, took a step, and stepped into the Blood River, then fell into the sinkhole below with the river water.
An endless stream of distracting thoughts flooded his mind, threatening to overwhelm him completely.
Lin Yi silently endured all of this, his body drifting with the river of blood, no longer knowing where he had arrived underground.
"What exactly is missing?" Lin Yi kept asking himself, pondering the question.
Until one day, his body was stopped by a large rock on the riverbank.
Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, and a graceful figure floating in the water vapor came into view.

Chapter Sixty: A Walk in the Blood River, The Incarnation of Taiyin
“This is a Blood River Demon.” Lin Yi looked at it quietly.
The demon wore a tight-fitting water-colored garment that perfectly accentuated her slender figure. Her long, cascading hair was parted to reveal a captivatingly beautiful face.
She rests here, playing in the water, soothing her nerves, lest she completely lose herself in the daily, yearly killing.
Chaos, slaughter, and death are the eternal themes in the River of Blood.
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Yi, and he seemed to have grasped something. But upon careful reflection, he realized he was still missing something.
This feeling of something being so close yet unable to truly break through is so frustrating it makes you want to vomit blood.
Lin Yi left, walking silently along the Blood River, observing.
Within the Blood River, there are three primordial spirit masters who have attained immortality: the Blood River Ancestor, the Blood River Holy Mother, and the Blood River Taoist, collectively known as the Three Saints of the Blood River.
The Blood River Ancestor is said to be the first living being in the Blood River. He has been cultivating for a long time and lives in the upper reaches of the Blood River.
The Holy Mother of the Blood River founded the Blood River Sect and taught the beings in the Blood River the Great Way to Immortality. She resides in the middle reaches of the Blood River.
The Blood River Taoist later surpassed others, possessing the most powerful magic. He clashed with the Heavenly River Sword Sect on the ground several times and resided in the lower reaches of the Blood River.
Therefore, many of the creatures in the Blood River are born upstream, learn and grow in the middle reaches, and fight and struggle downstream in search of breakthroughs.
