Lu Sheng sat at the side and listened with great interest. To him, this was a new and interesting secret. His purpose here was to understand the Noble Families, Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, so this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
But before the morning lesson, he heard He Xiangzi talking to a female disciple from afar. She was asking why the others were absent.
There were not many people to begin with, and now there were only so few left.
Apart from him, He Xiangzi, and Fei Huangzi, there were only two male disciples and one female disciple. But even with so few people, the two male disciples were tempted to leave as well.
Lu Sheng collected his thoughts and continued listening to Grand Elder's lecture. Whether they left or not, he planned to stay. There were still many books in the library, and it would take him a long time to finish reading them. He was in no hurry.
He had just used the Modifier to upgrade Karmaless Skill to Level Three last night. The muscles in his body needed time to adapt. At the same time, he needed the Devil Qi poisonous fog in the Devil's Pool to stimulate it further. Otherwise, he would not be able to upgrade it.
After the morning lesson, he planned to make another trip to the Devil's Pool to see what would happen if he upgraded Karmaless Skill to its limit.
As the Great Elder spoke, he suddenly felt a little dispirited.
"… The origin of the Prime Devil Secret Art comes from the Devil Blade, and also from the study of Devils. Alright, today's morning lesson ends here. Do you have any questions? "He looked at the six people in front of him.
Only two of them were listening attentively. The rest had their own thoughts. Perhaps their hearts were no longer with the Prime Devil Sect.
Grand Elder was disheartened. Without waiting for a reply, he waved his hand weakly.
"Forget it. Disperse."
"Yes." The crowd stood up and slowly retreated.
Fei Huangzi was the first to stand up. He turned and walked quickly out of the cave.
As Lu Sheng exited the cave, he saw Fei Huangzi's gloomy expression, as if unwilling to give up on something.
Ever since he was exposed last time, he no longer concealed himself and revealed his true nature. This disappointed Grand Elder even more, and completely gave up on teaching him the secret art.
Lu Sheng saw Fei Huangzi descend the stone wall and walk around in the shadows, a hesitant expression on his face.
He followed him and hid in a corner to observe him quietly.
In Yin Extreme Mode, Lu Sheng's ability to conceal his presence was abnormally strong. It was not difficult for him to conceal himself from someone at Fei Huangzi's level.
Fei Huangzi walked in the shadows for a long time before he finally stopped. He stopped and looked at the stone wall, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
After a long time, the struggle in his eyes slowly disappeared and was replaced by some kind of determination. Then he turned around and left quickly, as if he no longer hesitated.
Lu Sheng watched him disappear into the darkness. He shook his head and walked towards the Devil's Pool.
The gloomy cave was empty, and it was extremely cold and cheerless.
Lu Sheng quickly crossed the drawbridge and continued on his way from the side of the library. He saw that there was no one around.
"I remember when I first joined the sect, Song Zi 'an and White Face were the ones who brought me into the sect. Why haven't I seen them after so long?" Lu Sheng was also puzzled.
But when he recalled Song Zian's hidden pale face, he had the misconception that the other party wasn't a living person.
And that Senior Apprentice Sister White Face was definitely not a normal person either.
Since they weren't counted as disciples, then they should be other stewards of the Prime Devil Sect that he had never seen before …
"But I haven't seen them for so long. Could it be that they all come out at night? After we go back to rest? "Lu Sheng suddenly thought of the rule that required him to return to his cave to rest at night. There must be a reason for this strange rule.
Perhaps it had something to do with Song Zi 'an and White Face not being able to meet each other.
"After this trip to the Devil's Pool, I'll go to the graveyard and ask Song Zi 'an about it." Lu Sheng slowly slowed down. There were already rows of Devil's Pool entrances on both sides of him.
He swept his gaze across and quickly found a Devil's Pool that he could use.
A Devil's Pool with two incense sticks in a copper basin at the entrance appeared in his vision.
"This is it." Lu Sheng took a few steps at a time, easily passing the copper basin and stepping into the cave.
Just like before, he relaxed his body and let Devil Qi flow freely into his body.
After He Xiangzi's reminder, he knew that his previous method was wrong. But because he had been drenched by Devil Qi previously, he vaguely felt that his body had become more resilient. It even carried a hint of the Devil Qi's toxicity.
Rather than calling this method of irrigation torture, it would be more accurate to say that it was a form of stimulating training similar to hard body skills.
"Whoosh …"
Huge waves of Devil Qi surged wildly towards Lu Sheng.
Flesh and blood without the obstruction of bloodline power was the best tonic for them.
Countless waves of Devil Qi formed a huge vortex that filled the entire cave, forcing large amounts of Devil Qi into Lu Sheng's body.
He circulated Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi with familiarity to speed up his body's recovery.
At the same time, he visualized Karmaless Skill with all his might. The minute muscles in his body trembled violently. Under the stimulation of the Devil Qi, they slowly dissolved and rapidly regenerated under the nourishment of Aquarius Qi.
The third level of Karmaless Skill seemed to have some effect in resisting the Devil Qi. The pain that Lu Sheng felt was much weaker than the first time.
He stood silently in the small cave that was only a few meters wide. Large amounts of Devil Qi swirled around his body. Moreover, the Devil Qi was continuously drawing Devil Qi from other places into this cave.
Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes, feeling the muscles hardened by Karmaless Skill's visualization. Under the stimulation of the Devil Qi and the repeated regeneration, they gradually became tougher and tougher.
'The effect of Karmaless Skill is to strengthen the body and enhance the excavation of bloodline power. This is the strengthening of one's muscles. I don't have any bloodline power to excavate, so the only thing useful to me should be the strengthening effect. 'Lu Sheng circulated Karmaless Skill and felt the gradual changes in his body.
Most of the minute muscles in his body, especially his limbs, gradually increased the speed of blood flow under the intense tension and resistance, becoming thicker and stronger.
The Yin Flame face that he visualized was also rolling violently under the stimulation of the Devil Qi. As time passed, Lu Sheng could even see many details on the Yin Flame face, as if the Yin Flame face he visualized was real.
Time passed slowly. Once again, large amounts of Devil Qi surged madly into Lu Sheng's body, dissolving his muscles, bones, and internal organs before being rapidly healed and restored by Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi.
Lu Sheng's body was constantly being destroyed and repaired in this process. Time and time again, he became tougher and tougher, and his resistance to poison also became stronger.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Aquarius Qi was finally running out.
Lu Sheng slowly awoke from his meditative state. He slowly retreated out of the cave.
"Poof."
As if breaking the surface of water, Lu Sheng withdrew himself from the viscous Devil Qi and returned to the side of the copper basin.
He took a deep breath. There was no part of his body that did not hurt. He raised his hand. The skin on his arm was pale and delicate. It was as if he had just regrown.
'This feeling …' Lu Sheng frowned. He could feel that under the nourishment of the Devil Qi, he was undergoing some strange transformation, or rather, some sort of adaptation.
The high-speed self-healing ability brought about by Aquarius Qi gave him the capital to rapidly recover and maintain his vitality under the nourishment of the Devil Qi.
The continuous process of destruction and repair was, in fact, a process of adapting to the Devil Qi.
"Deep Blue," Lu Sheng called out the Modifier once more.
The light blue frame appeared in response. In the upper frame, after the option for Karmaless Skill, a Modifier button for upgrading had appeared.
'I've had enough stimulation. The Yin flame face is distorting again. This means that this level's Devil Qi training has reached the standard. Next up is the arduous visualization and muscle training. I can use the Modifier to upgrade and save time. Right now, Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi is insufficient. When I return to recuperate and recover, I'll be able to upgrade to Level Four. '
Lu Sheng clenched his fists slowly. He could vaguely feel that his physical strength seemed to have become stronger and more agile under the training of Karmaless Skill.
It was no longer as rigid and straightforward as before.
This meant that Karmaless Skill was still of help to him. It was just that his level was too high, so the help was limited and not obvious.
After exiting the Devil's Pool, Lu Sheng returned to his cave to rest as usual. Then, he continued with his morning lessons the next day.
But the scene he saw the next morning made him feel emotional.
She had run away again. Previously, there had been six sect disciples, including himself. Now, there were only him, Fei Huangzi and He Xiangzi left.
"Rumeng has also left?" Grand Elder asked softly.
"This morning, I saw her carrying her luggage out of the cave …" He Xiangzi replied softly.
Grand Elder fell silent and did not speak again.
He sat quietly on the cattail hassock. Fei Huangzi, He Xiangzi and Lu Sheng could only sit quietly as well, not daring to make a sound.
Only three people were left …
Such a huge sect, such a huge Prime Devil Sect, only three disciples were left.
After a long time.
Only then did the Great Elder slowly close his eyes.
"Do what you want to do, do it. This old man is tired … let me take a break. "
Fei Huangzi was silent. He was the first to stand up and leave. Before he left, he bowed to Grand Elder before turning to leave.
He Xiangzi was in low spirits. She looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself. But seeing that Grand Elder was in a bad mood, she did not speak. She stood up and left as well.
Lu Sheng stood up and looked at Grand Elder, feeling that it was a pity.
"Teacher, what about today's morning lesson? Are we still going? "
He suddenly asked.
Morning lesson?
The Great Elder suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with a strange expression.
"Today, it's time to talk about the history and types of Divine Weapon emblems …" This was the part that none of the disciples liked to hear.
"That's right," Lu Sheng nodded, "I even made a trip to the library yesterday and read quite a few books on this topic. I also planned to ask you some questions today. "
Ask questions?
Grand Elder stared at him blankly.
After a while, he asked slowly and bitterly, "They've all left. Aren't you … leaving too?"
Lu Sheng raised his brows.
"Why should I leave? I think this place is pretty good. "
He smiled. "As long as there are books to read, it's quite comfortable here."
"Then you came to the sect not to cultivate, but to read?" Grand Elder's curiosity was piqued. "You don't want to cultivate your secret skill anymore?"
"Of course I do," Lu Sheng said curiously. "I've already reached the second level of Karmaless Skill. It feels alright, it's quite smooth, but …"
"What? The second level?!! "
Before Lu Sheng could finish, Grand Elder interrupted him with widened eyes.
