SFS Chapter 77 introduces new blood, Shadow Summoning Demon.
Chapter 77 introduces new blood, Shadow Summoning Demon.
A chilling aura swept over them, and within the dim passage, wisps of formidable malevolent energy could be sensed drifting about.
Although the malevolent aura was not abundant, each wisp of it allowed Lin Li to sense a heavy atmosphere.
All of them are second-tier Yin Sha.
Immediately, Lin Li took out the Soul Banner and had the remnant soul of the Blood Spirit Centipede inside the banner spit out the evil pearl.
A black jade bead emitting a cold, dark light flew out from the eerie soul banner.
The next moment, Lin Li formed a hand seal, and wisps of malevolent energy began to rapidly gather into the malevolent bead within the passage.
"Master, these all seem to be second-tier evil energy, and there are so many of them."
"This is truly a treasure trove for cultivating the Profound Demonic Art!"
The Blood Spirit Centipede inside the Soul Banner poked out a ferocious centipede head, examining the Yin Sha Spirit Pearl that was floating and devouring the evil energy. The blackness on the evil pearl became even deeper.
Moreover, every wisp of malevolent energy it devoured caused the Blood Spirit Centipede to sense a fluctuation of fear.
"Oh?"
"This place is the cave dwelling of a Core Formation cultivator."
"It is indeed a treasure land for cultivation..."
Lin Li responded calmly.
"A cave dwelling for Core Formation cultivators!"
Upon hearing Lin Li's words, the Blood Spirit Centipede was startled and fell silent.
This is no treasure land at all, it's an extremely ominous place!
After more than ten breaths, the floating Yin Sha Spirit Pearl began to tremble slightly. It was originally a first-grade high-level magic weapon, and now that it had absorbed more than a hundred strands of second-grade evil energy, it had reached its limit.
If you eat a few more strands, it might just crumble on the spot.
Lin Li could only raise his hand and put the Yin Sha Spirit Pearl into his storage bag.
Unfortunately, he had too few magical artifacts.
"Treasure Pavilion."
At the same time, Lin Li remembered Ling Jia, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, and the fellow Daoist "Shui Shan" who appraised the treasure.
His current identity is that of the Core Formation Ancestor's personal disciple. If he were to go to the Treasure Pavilion again, wouldn't he be able to pass through without any obstacles?
As for spirit stones and such, he certainly doesn't need to worry about that.
After searching the Crimson-Eyed Demon's cave, we'll head to the Treasure Pavilion.
Lin Li continued walking forward, and the surrounding malevolent aura became even more intense.
Why is this place so empty?
Lin Li entered the sizable cave. Apart from the faint second-tier evil energy emanating from it, there was only a bare, ancient stone platform in the center.
And the cultivation environment that is comparable to a third-tier spiritual vein.
It's likely that the Crimson-Eyed Demon King keeps his spiritual treasures with him or hides them elsewhere.
No wonder they left so easily.
Lin Li explored the cave thoroughly and found several stones stained with blood on the ground in a corner of the cave.
With a wave of his hand, a cluster of white frost-tailed ghostly flames flew out and landed on the rocks on the ground, melting some of the blood-stained boulder.
After extracting a wisp of vital energy from it, he refined it into his body.
[Inclusion successful]
[Second-tier superior bloodline, Thunder-patterned White Rhinoceros!]
On the Reincarnation Disc, a projection of a giant rhinoceros with a pure white body suddenly appeared, with a blue lightning stripe on its back, flashing with azure lightning, and it looked extraordinary.
After the projection appeared, it obediently fell into many second-tier bloodline projections.
"So, it can be considered a worthwhile outcome."
"Keep looking."
Lin Li also understood why the Yin energy here was so strong.
This crimson-eyed old demon must have killed many Foundation Establishment cultivators before, piling their corpses in this corner of the cave.
After a while.
Lin Li found two more rock walls stained with blood. After refining them, he also recruited two second-tier mid-level bloodline spiritual cultivators, both of whom were from the rat demon clan.
They didn't even spare their own rat demon descendants!
In addition, a separate stone house was carved out in a corner of the cave.
Inside the stone house, there are two rows of wooden shelves, on which are several broken and ancient jade slips.
Furthermore, there were spiritual energy restrictions on the bookshelves, making it impossible for Lin Li to open them.
Even the restrictions casually set up by that Crimson-Eyed Demon were not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could shake.
However, there was one jade slip among them that was not restricted, which Lin Li took and brought to his front, probing it with a wisp of his divine sense.
There is a crack on this black jade slip, indicating that it is very old.
In an instant, a profound and top-level secret technique appeared in his mind.
"Thousand Shadows Summoning Demons"—this technique and secret art clearly belong to the Thousand Shadows Pavilion.
As Lin Li became immersed in this mysterious secret technique, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
This demonic art is indeed very wondrous; it is a method that can cultivate inner demons and celestial demons.
The inner demon and the heavenly demon can help cultivators easily overcome the inner demon tribulation during their cultivation advancement. After cultivating this secret technique, it is comparable to obtaining a Foundation Establishment or even Core Formation spiritual item.
However, the process of cultivating inner demons and heavenly demons is not simple.
However, once mastered, it becomes a secret technique that can attack a cultivator's soul, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against.
In Lin Li's view, the greatest gain from this cave was the secret technique of Thousand Shadows Summoning Demons.
According to the speculation in the jade slip, the inner demons and heavenly demons cultivated can be nurtured all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, and can become a great help in battles.
One can cultivate both the inner demon and the heavenly demon.
However, under this technique, if the cultivation level of the two demons is much higher than that of the cultivator, it will cause a backlash from the two demons.
Lin Li placed the jade slip back on the wooden shelf. Looking at the other ancient jade slips on the shelf, he saw that although they were all damaged, they should still be able to read a lot of information.
Unfortunately, they are all subject to restrictions and protection.
After a while.
Lin Li flew out from Xuan Ying Mountain and headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion.
The red-eyed old demon's divine sense token had already marked out the area where he could move freely.
Lin Li knew very well that once he stepped out of the Giant Shadow City's territory, not only would the Crimson-Eyed Old Demon know immediately, but even the Divine Sense Token might be subject to some kind of magical restriction.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion.
Lin Li made no attempt to conceal his presence upon arrival, heading straight for the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
He immediately took out the divine sense token given to him by the Crimson-Eyed Demon and activated the divine sense power within it.
A wisp of Core Formation stage spiritual energy emanated from Lin Li and spread outwards.
Several Foundation Establishment stage human or demon cultivators around him, after sensing the astonishing aura emanating from Lin Li, hurriedly left in a panic.
Just a few breaths later.
It was only a little over four feet tall, carrying a huge dark red tortoise shell on its back, and its body was covered in a somber spirit armor. It appeared in front of Lin Li.
"I am Ling Jia, the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion."
"May I ask what business you have with me, fellow Daoist?"
The spirit armor could clearly sense that the token in front of the early Foundation Establishment stage spirit fox was the Core Formation divine sense of the Crimson-Eyed Ancestor. Naturally, it had to maintain a respectful attitude and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
"I am Liu, a newly accepted disciple of my master. I have come here with a token given to me by my master to retrieve some treasures from your Treasure Pavilion. Is that permissible?"
Lin Li stated his purpose in a calm tone.
"That's certainly feasible!"
"Junior Brother Lingjia greets Senior Brother Liu!"
Lingjia immediately bowed and said in a very respectful tone.
This person is the personal disciple of the Crimson-Eyed Ancestor. Although his cultivation level is much higher than the other party's, his status within the sect is much lower.
