'It's just that this Phantom Listening Devil Body doesn't increase my strength much. I've put so much Mental Energy into it, but it's not worth it … No wonder the Prime Devil Sect has always been weak … They probably mainly rely on digging up and strengthening their own bloodline abilities, and these other abilities are mostly used as support … In other words, my Phantom Listening Devil Body is actually support?' Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
He actually had a bloodline, but it was very, very weak. The only ability he had was ignition. Now that he had mastered the Phantom Listening Devil Body, the bloodline ability could only light a piece of paper.
'Instead of that, I might as well continue digging for treasures in the depths of the Prime Devil Sect. Maybe I can get more Mental Energy items left by the ancestors.'
Lu Sheng pondered.
'But I can't do it today. It's too late. I'll come back tomorrow.'
He quickly returned to his original size and walked out of the cave. The bell had already rung.
Before he knew it, it was already night time. He had stayed in the Prime Devil Sect for so long, but he had never come out at night.
Usually, he would return to the cave immediately after the bell rang. This time, because he was delayed by cultivating a secret art, he accidentally came out late.
Lu Sheng sped up and returned along the path he had come from. Along the way, he was surrounded by white fog. In the distance, there seemed to be many distorted figures appearing and disappearing.
'Lone souls and wild ghosts? And with a hint of Devil Qi? ' Lu Sheng looked left and right. The disappearing figures all had a thick ghostly aura on them. Most of them had Devil Qi mixed in with them.
If it was him in the past, he might not have been able to move an inch, and the surrounding ghosts would pounce on him. But now …
"Get lost! Don't be an eyesore in front of me! "He slapped forward with one hand.
"Boom!!"
A huge ball of Devil Qi poisonous fire instantly exploded. Screams came from the surrounding white fog, and a large number of lone souls and wild ghosts fled.
Only then did Lu Sheng take big strides forward.
When he was about to reach the cave wall, a heavy rhythmic knocking sound came from the front.
Lu Sheng sped up and rushed forward. When he was a certain distance away, he finally saw what was making the sound.
It was a huge humanoid monster that was two stories tall.
Its limbs were thick and swollen, and its entire body was covered in green skin. There was a grayish-white horn on its head, and its fangs protruded from its mouth. There was even a small tuft of green hair on its head.
He looked exactly like a demon from the myths.
This evil spirit was also holding a black club that was more than ten meters long and several meters thick. He was smashing it against the stone pillar in front of him.
The stone pillar he had smashed was none other than the blood-red symbol stone pillar in front of the cave where Lu Sheng and the others were staying.
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Lu Sheng finally understood. No wonder no one went over to check on him even though he had caused such a big commotion. It turned out that the commotion here was even bigger.
"What is this? An evil spirit? "He carefully walked around the monster and returned to the cave wall from an inconspicuous corner.
Unexpectedly, at the entrance of the cave, there was a black-haired woman holding an umbrella.
The woman's face was covered by her black hair, revealing only a pale chin. Mist lingered around her, and he could faintly see that she was wearing a pitch-black outfit.
"You can talk?" Lu Sheng walked over and asked in a low voice.
The other party did not respond.
Lu Sheng did not want to attack. At this position, he was already very close to his teacher and the others. If he attacked, he might be discovered. He just wanted to quietly return to his cave.
Seeing that the other party did not respond, he carefully walked around the person and headed to the staircase.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the other party.
Pa!
A pale, swollen, and smelly hand suddenly grabbed Lu Sheng's arm.
"Hehe … hehehehe …"
The woman raised her head, revealing her face that was covered by her black hair. It was a face that was as pale as if it had been smeared with countless white powder. Some parts of her face were even rotten and covered with maggots, emitting a thick stench.
Lu Sheng looked at the other party, and then at the hand on his arm.
Pa!
Suddenly, something grabbed the other arm of the woman.
"Hehehehe …"
A similar shrill laughter came faintly from the mist.
The woman's expression froze, but before she could react. With a "poof", her whole body was dragged into the mist not far away in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out. A group of pitch-black things surrounded the woman and gorged on her, gnawing away happily.
The screams quickly died down, and finally, there was no more sound.
Lu Sheng sighed.
He had originally released the Yin Demon to have it pull the woman away. Unexpectedly, the moment he released it, a group of Yin Demons swarmed out, grabbed the female ghost, and started gnawing on her as if they had encountered some top-notch delicacy.
This was not something he could control. Yin Demons moved independently after they were released.
'Now I understand a little why the Prime Devil Sect would build their headquarters here even though they knew that there would be so many ghosts at night. These Yin Demons treat ghosts as food. This place is a natural granary. '
He walked up the stairs. With a whoosh, a cloud of black smoke flew towards him and entered his body. It was the Eagle of Disgust and the other Yin Demons he had just released. He was prepared to release one, but five of them rushed out at once.
'Luckily, there wasn't much commotion. It was covered by the sound of the evil ghost smashing the stone pillars outside.' He climbed up the path he had come from.
This time, he returned to his cave without a hitch. There were obviously other ghosts hiding in the surrounding mist, but they did not dare to approach because of the Yin Demon's aura.
Lu Sheng looked left and right. After confirming that there were no other movements, he opened the door and entered.
The Prime Devil Sect at night was a world of ghosts.
If it was the Prime Devil Sect's heyday, this might not have been a problem. These ghosts were at most food for the disciples. But it was different now. The sect was so weak that it almost lost its legacy. When faced with these ghosts, it was completely powerless.
Now, it was the master of the sect. Once night fell, it became a world of ghosts.
The night passed uneventfully …
The next morning, just as Lu Sheng got up, he heard shouts coming from outside.
He got up and walked to the window to look down. He saw some of the disciples who had just joined the sect standing on the square below. They were practicing some kind of martial arts, but they were extremely light and relaxed. There were also many postures that looked like they were performing in a ritual.
Lu Sheng pushed open the door and walked out. He saw his teacher, Liu Shanzi, standing in front of a fence, watching the disciples practice from above.
And the one leading them was none other than He Xiangzi.
"Oh, Little Sheng, you're up?" Liu Shanzi turned around. "Come take a look. What do you think of this Prime Aura Hunt?"
"Prime Aura Hunt?" Lu Sheng was stunned. "What's this? Teacher. "
Liu Shanzi smiled. "Previously, the sect was shaken and the Devil Qi was greatly reduced. I was thinking about how to let the disciples continue to practice the secret arts under the condition that the Devil Qi was reduced. So I found this from the old manuals. Don't you feel the faint traces of Devil Qi surrounding them? It's produced by themselves, not absorbed by the outside world. "
"Produced by themselves?" Lu Sheng was surprised again. "Don't we need Karmaless Skill to absorb Devil Qi? How can this Prime Aura Hunt produce Devil Qi on its own? "
"Although that's the case, Prime Aura Hunt allows the human body to imitate the circulation of Essence, Qi and Spirit in the body of a Devil. It's normal for it to produce a trace of Devil Qi. However, this trace of Devil Qi is extremely thin. It's only used to make the body more accustomed to absorbing Devil Qi. It won't have much effect. You'll need a long period of hard work to see any effect. That's why I didn't teach it to you in the first place, "Liu Shanzi explained.
"Alright," Lu Sheng nodded.
"What's the level of your secret arts cultivation now? I heard from He Xiangzi that you showed off your skills in the league meeting and won several matches in a row. What level is your Karmaless Skill at? "Liu Shanzi asked with a smile.
Lu Sheng thought for a moment and decided to raise his cultivation a little. Otherwise, it would be too fake if it was too low.
"I've maxed out Karmaless Skill," he answered honestly.
"Maxed out Karmaless Skill isn't much … Huh? Maxed out?!! "Liu Shanzi's eyes widened. His mouth was slightly agape as he stared at Lu Sheng with a dumbfounded expression.
"I just maxed out a few days ago," Lu Sheng was a little taken aback and hurriedly tried to cover it up. He hadn't expected his teacher to have such a huge reaction.
Liu Shanzi's expression was blank. He stared at Lu Sheng for a long time without saying a word.
"Teacher, can I start cultivating Ghost Face Mantra now?" Lu Sheng asked hurriedly.
"Cultivate Ghost Face Mantra … cultivate Ghost Face Mantra …" Liu Shanzi repeated the words subconsciously. Only then did he realize that Lu Sheng was asking him.
"Yes … yes …" he replied hurriedly. Although he knew that Lu Sheng's aptitude was excellent and his speed was fast, he didn't expect him to be this fast.
"No wonder during the league meeting …" Understanding dawned on Liu Shanzi. "Since you've already realized it, then you can continue cultivating the secret arts in the manuals I've imparted to you in the order of Karmaless Skill, Ghost Face Mantra, Phantom Path Mantra and Devil Heart Dao. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime. "
"Alright!" Lu Sheng nodded.
"Alright, you can leave now." Liu Shanzi sighed. "Let me have some peace …" He reached out to the wall, feeling a little disheartened.
Back in the day, he had spent a whole three years cultivating Karmaless Skill. How long had it been since Lu Sheng joined the Prime Devil Sect?
Fortunately, he was his student. Otherwise, countless sects would fight over him.
Watching Lu Sheng leave, Liu Shanzi suddenly thought that he could train Lu Sheng to be the next successor of the Prime Devil Sect.
He had memorized a large number of secret manuals in his head, as well as many other hidden manuals. Perhaps he could pass them on to Lu Sheng one after another …
The Prime Devil Secret Art, Phantom Listening Skill, had already been passed on to Lu Sheng. Until now, he hadn't shown any signs of abnormality.
…
After breakfast, Lu Sheng was about to head deeper into the Prime Devil Sect to investigate when a disciple delivered a letter.
"First Seat, this letter was just delivered. It's for your personal use. The person who delivered it is from the Shangyang Family. "
The disciple who delivered the letter carefully handed the letter to Lu Sheng with reverence.
"Alright, thank you. Leave it here." Lu Sheng put down the bowl of soup in his hand. Recently, the sect's food had improved again after he delivered a portion of the ore vein. Their food and drink had improved greatly as well.
At least he could eat three buckets of rice, nine catties of vegetables, ten chickens, and one pig a day.
Sitting in the dining hall, Lu Sheng waited for the disciple to leave before opening the letter.
It was Shangyang Jiuli's handwriting. She wanted him to go to White Bell City and meet at the restaurant from last time.
