After absorbing the Original Spirit, the Nine-absorption Devil Slip didn't stop. With a flip, it lay on top of Xiao Mu's body and shuttled back and forth a few times, sucking up all the Essence Blood. With a clear sound, it turned into a dazzling light and went to the Dragon Country's big boat to find the broken Yuanying and swallowed it as well.
The slip's actions were equivalent to swallowing an entire Yuanying cultivator. After going around a few more times and seeing that there was nothing left to swallow, the slip's body shook and the sound of a bell could be heard. Its whole body was filled with clear air and emitted a brilliant glow.
When Zhang Yan returned to the dragon boat, it didn't wait for him to raise his hand and let out a happy cry and went into the space between his eyebrows.
Zhang Yan's eyes shone with a strange light. This jade slip seemed to be tame in the past, but it was actually arrogant and unruly. It would be fine if he didn't take it, but if he touched it, a violent and bloodthirsty aura would surge and try to influence his mind. Moreover, regardless of whether he was willing or not, it would spit out the Essence Qi. However, it wasn't like that today. It was much more obedient than usual.
He focused his mind on the acupoint and saw that the magic slip was floating there without any signs of movement. Vaguely, it seemed to have lost some of its fierceness and gained a hint of spirituality. On the surface, it looked more and more like an immortal treasure.
He thought that the Essence Qi absorbed this time should be enough for him to push the Divine Contract to another level, but now was not the time to calm down and cultivate.
At this time, he heard a soft sigh. He turned his head and saw that Lu Meiniang had slowly woken up. She opened her eyes and saw Zhang Yan at first glance. She immediately sat up and looked around. Her tense expression relaxed and she asked, "Fellow Zhang, has Xiao Mu left?"
This Demoness Queen's almond-shaped eyes were slightly frightened. Her robe was messy, her black hair fell like a waterfall, and her skin was as white as porcelain. At this moment, she bit her lower lip with her silver teeth and pressed her hand on her chest. There was a natural seductive expression on her face. She was worthy of the name Mei Niang.
Zhang Yan didn't seem to notice the flirtatious expression on her face as he smiled lightly. He said, "Demon King Lu, don't worry. I have the help of a master in my sect. This person will not come to disturb us again."
Lu Meiniang was stunned at first. After pondering over the meaning behind Zhang Yan's words, her beautiful eyes lit up and she nodded. He was completely relieved. He didn't mention this matter again.
She didn't doubt his words. She guessed that a True Disciple like Zhang Yan, who was in charge of his own territory, would probably be like Xiao Han, protected by a powerful figure in the sect.
As for why this person didn't come out to save Lu Junbai and the others, she didn't find it strange. If the masters of Qincang school didn't involve the lives of their own disciples, they wouldn't have come out to save them. Presumably, it wouldn't show itself easily, much less pay attention to Demon Cultivators like them.
Zhang Yan took out two talismans that were about a finger thick from his sleeve and said, "These two items contain Daozhang Lu and Demon King Jing. My cultivation is shallow, so I can't think of anything. Demon King Lu's magic power is profound, so he should be able to undo the restriction. "
Before he boarded the ship, he had already taken the sleeve from Xiao Mu's corpse.
After a rough search, he found that there were quite a lot of things inside, but with his current cultivation, he didn't dare to act rashly. Who knew if there were any powerful restrictions placed on them? Since he already got them, he might as well take his time to sort them out in the future.
Other than that, there were these two jade tokens. The original figures of Lu Junbai and Jing Miaojun appeared on each of the tokens. With just one look, it was obvious that these two people were imprisoned in these items.
Lu Meiniang stood up and raised her hand to receive it. She gently stroked it for a while, then sighed softly and put it down. A look of distress appeared on her face. "The jade token that Xiao Mu used seems to be the Nanhua Sect's Sealing Talisman. I can't do anything about it."
Among the ten great Mystic Sects of Donghua Continent, Nanhua Sect was the most feared by Demon Cultivators, followed by Qincang and Shaoqing Sect.
This was because these sects were extremely good at subduing demons, and most of their techniques were focused on how to restrain Demon Cultivators. This restriction was not something she could easily undo.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and said, "Don't worry, Demon King Lu. I know someone who can undo this restriction."
Hearing that, Lu Meiniang hurriedly bowed and said, "Please give me some pointers, Demon King Lu."
Seeing this, Zhang Yan stretched out his hand to help her up and said, "Demon King Lu, there's no need to be so polite. Do you still remember Fellow Daoist Guo Lie? This person is the disciple of Tao Zhenren, Tao Zhenren. Tao Zhenren was originally cultivating under Nanhua Sect and only left later. His cultivation is also above Xiao Mu's, so there's a high chance that he can undo this restriction."
Joy appeared in Lu Meiniang's beautiful eyes, but then she said worriedly, "I have no contact with Tao Zhenren, nor do we have any friendship. Why would he be willing to help me?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Before coming here, I promised Fellow Daoist Guo a benefit. If I talk to him about this matter, I believe he will give me some face."
Lu Meiniang bowed again and said seriously, "If you can get Tao Zhenren to help you, Fellow Daoist, if you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to order me."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist is too polite. I just saw Fellow Daoist Guo escape during the chaos. With his temper, he won't leave easily. Why don't we wait here for a few days? If he doesn't come, I'll go get the Four Marquises Water and then go find him."
Lu Meiniang nodded and said, "As you say."
She was a gentle person, and she didn't have a mind of her own, so she didn't have any objections.
Zhang Yan said again, "There are many courtyards and pavilions on this Dragon Country ship. Fellow Daoist can choose one to cultivate in."
After saying that, he excused himself and returned to the treasure pavilion.
Sitting in the quiet room, he activated the restriction and with a thought, the Nine Absorption Demon Subduing Slip in his acupoints trembled and released the essence within it.
Previously, when Zhang Yan was cultivating, he had activated the jade slip and received only a few strands of Essence Qi. But now, it was unprecedentedly plentiful. Moreover, it directly entered his acupoints without a trace of waste. He felt the Qi flow surging towards him, and in an instant, it flowed through his entire body.
He sat down and calmed his mind, emptied his mind, and waited for the essence to settle down. Then, he began to circulate his Xuan Qi according to the Mind Comprehending Contract.
In less than four hours, all the acupoints in his body started to move together, pushing his Xuan Qi up.
At this time, a faint layer of gold and bronze appeared on the surface of his body, but after a moment, it disappeared. Then, a hazy mist of light came out from his mouth and nose, turning into hundreds of faintly visible Flood Dragons that circled around him.
As the circulation of the mantra became smoother and smoother, the mass of Essence Qi in his abdomen gradually warmed up. It swallowed and spat out, advancing and retreating back and forth. After a few breaths, there was a swooshing sound, as if there was a mass of heavy water swaying inside, causing his body to gently sway.
After another four hours, the mass of essence shook and leaped up. Zhang Yan opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and spat out a mass of white light.
The Flood Dragons were like pearls chasing after pearls, circling and dancing around the white light. Every time they circled around, a strand of it would disappear. At the end, there was only a mass of Qi circling around. At this time, this mass of Qi was like lightning, flashing three times between bright and dark. It drilled into his Shen Que acupoint and turned back into a mass of essence, like a statue of a deity sitting inside.
That wisp of Qi also followed, but it went into his spine. Zhang Yan only felt a numbing sensation from his joints to the jade pillow. A series of cracking sounds came from his ears, and he unconsciously straightened his body.
At this time, there was a Qi pushing out from his abdomen, colliding with the Twelve Storey Building. His throat was wide open, and he couldn't help but raise his head and open his mouth. A gust of white Qi pierced through the air, more than thirty feet in length. There was a faint light on it, and a muffled sound of thunder exploded in the air. The rumbling sound lasted for a long time, and Just Now, it dissipated.
Zhang Yan slowly inhaled and exhaled. After repeating this a few times, he stabilized the Qi that was floating around his body.
This time, there was actually a lot of essence in the Nine Absorption Magic Slip, but he was not greedy. He circulated the mental cultivation method a few times, and returned the excess essence.
At this time, he felt refreshed, and the strength in his body was endless. His toes lightly touched the ground, and without the support of his Qi, he easily stood up. His heart moved, and he took out the beast-faced broadsword from his sleeve. He held the hilt in his hand, and waved it a few times without moving his upper body. He felt that the heavy-duty divine weapon was now as light as a straw in his hand.
He turned his mind and silently examined himself. He knew that he had already stepped into the second realm of the Complete Spirit Contract, and was actually not much weaker than his Taiyi Xuan Light.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This method was indeed worthy of being called the Devil Sect's method. As long as there was the essence that was plundered, he would be able to improve. However, the more he cultivated this method, the more dangerous it would be, and the harder it would be to cultivate.
It was just that after reaching the second realm, he didn't know how much stronger his physical body was than before.
With a thought, a mysterious light burst out from the top of his head, and the golden fire light fell down, brushing against his right hand. He felt a slight pain in his arm, and there was an ear-piercing sound, as if two divine weapons were rubbing against each other. He quickly retracted the mysterious light, and saw that a shallow layer of his skin and flesh was scraped off, but there was no blood flowing out. After circulating the method, he immediately recovered.
Seeing this scene, he was both surprised and satisfied. His golden fire light was extremely overbearing, and when it brushed down, even the Nine Demon King's doppelganger would have a layer of blood and skin scraped off. Compared to it, he seemed to be slightly better. With this method to protect himself, he wouldn't be afraid of ordinary magical weapons.
He let out a long breath, and kept the divine weapon. He sat down again, circulating the method, and absorbed the remaining essence in the tip of the hair into his acupuncture points.
After some time, he seemed to have sensed something, and he raised his head with a smile. He turned into a ray of light, and went out of the treasure pavilion. When he reached the deck, he stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Guo, why are you in such a sorry state?"
A burly man with charred hair and beard was lying on the deck, gasping for breath. The Peng bird beside him, however, did not have the slightest bit of hair on its body, and it was hilarious to see.
Guo Lie shook his head and raised his hand to slap a few more times. Only then did he propped himself up and said with lingering fear, "That Old Man Xiao's Palm Thunder is so powerful, it almost made me lose my life."
He then said in annoyance, "This time, my Demon Spirit Essence was destroyed by that old man, and even the White Ape Spirit Essence that I shamelessly asked my master to give me was destroyed. This deal is really a loss."
How could Zhang Yan not understand the meaning in his words? He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't have to complain, I won't go back on my words. When I get the Moon Leaf Xuanzhen Grass to make elixir water, I'll give it to you, and I'll add some spirit shells as compensation."
