Chapter 697: 780 Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner
The scenery a hundred miles away, except for Chen Mo and Zuoqiu Yiren, the other disciples couldn’t see it at all.
However, judging from Zuoqiu Yiren’s expression, the skeleton demon should have been resolved.
The disciples continued their journey.
Chen Mo flew with his sword.
Zhao Qianyi and the other women manipulated True Qi to fly through the air, following behind.
"Although the skeleton demon is dead and his body turned to dust, he was in the Divinity Transformation Realm, so the space ornaments he carried should be of no low grade. My flame probably didn’t burn them, you might want to go and look for them."
Before disappearing, Zuoqiu Yiren sent a transmission to Chen Mo.
At these words, Chen Mo’s eyes immediately sparkled, flying in the direction where the skeleton demon died.
The space ornaments of a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, moreover an evil cultivator, must be quite valuable.
The disciples were all stunned to see Chen Mo leaving the team.
Although leaving the team while completing a sect mission is very normal,
they knew Chen Mo was under Elder Zuoqiu’s protection, so they couldn’t help but be a bit curious about his departure.
Thus, a scene appeared.
For safety’s sake, all the disciples followed closely behind Chen Mo.
Seeing this, Chen Mo was slightly stunned. He was too excited and had forgotten about this matter.
He used the Merak Flying Sword Basic Chapter to speed up, soon widening the distance between himself and the disciples.
Soon, he arrived at the place where the skeleton demon had fallen. Activating his Ancient Heavy Pupils, he began to search the ground.
By the time the disciples caught up, they only saw Chen Mo putting a Blood Pearl into his pocket, but didn’t know what it was.
Su Zhize and Liu Jingchun guessed it should be related to the skeleton demon, possibly the spoils after Zuoqiu Yiren dealt with the skeleton demon.
At this, the greed of the two flared up again.
If they killed him, the treasures on him would naturally be theirs.
...
As for space ornaments, when the master dies, they become ownerless, and the master’s mark left on the space ornament also disappears.
But as for the Blood Pearl, as a space ornament of the Skeleton Old Man, the mark on it hadn’t disappeared.
Flying with his sword, Chen Mo tried to invade with his soul power to leave his own mark on the Blood Pearl, but was astonished to find that the Blood Pearl rebounded his soul power.
Luckily, at this moment, Zuoqiu Yiren’s transmission came: "This is likely a high-grade space ornament refined by fusing a person’s Golden Core with a Space Stone. It’s different from ordinary space ornaments worn on the body; this one can be taken into oneself and has self-protection functions. The soul mark on it doesn’t disappear with the owner’s death."
"A space ornament refined from another person’s Golden Core?!" Chen Mo was amazed. Evil cultivators truly live up to their name, even seizing someone’s Golden Core—how could that person survive...
However, it benefits him now. Since he didn’t refine this Blood Pearl, he wasn’t concerned about it. He took out the token given by Yiren Sister and asked softly, "What should I do?"
"Don’t you have a very powerful golden flame on you? Just use it to burn away the soul mark on it," Zuoqiu Yiren transmitted.
Thus, he could only do it during rest.
As for the golden flame, Chen Mo knew Zuoqiu Yiren was referring to the Taiyi Divine Fire.
Previously during alchemy, Chen Mo had used it, and its effects were extraordinary, significantly reducing the impurities in elixirs.
...
Perhaps due to the fall of the skeleton demon, according to simulation, on the third day the skeleton demon would provoke, Zuoqiu Yiren would slay the skeleton demon, then the person behind the skeleton demon would appear to confront Zuoqiu Yiren, followed by a large group of evil cultivators appearing, scattering the team, and Su Zhize and Liu Jingchun would attack him.
This was supposed to be today, but now, with the skeleton demon’s death, his backer was also intimidated by Zuoqiu Yiren yesterday and didn’t appear today.
Naturally, that large group of evil cultivators dared not come.
Seizing the opportunity during a break, Chen Mo casually found an excuse to wander around nearby.
Arriving behind a sand dune, he took out the Blood Pearl, then rubbed his fingers together, causing a wisp of golden flame to rise.
With increased power, the Taiyi Divine Fire’s strength also enhanced.
Chen Mo brought the Taiyi Divine Fire close to the Blood Pearl, wrapping it in flames and began to burn it.
In no time, the soul mark on the Blood Pearl was scorched away.
With a thought, Chen Mo’s soul power entered the Blood Pearl without obstruction.
The exploration lasted only moments before Chen Mo slowly withdrew his consciousness from the Blood Pearl, an indescribable delight in his eyes.
The Skeleton Old Man had lived for at least several centuries as an evil cultivator, committing theft and murder, absorbing others’ blood energy, accumulating countless things. The numerous treasure medicines Chen Mo saw in the sect’s herb garden, all present in this Blood Pearl; it could not only help him cultivate the Golden Core Chapter of the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique successfully, but there were also plenty of materials for cultivating the Immortal Chapter.
He didn’t look further, as enough time had passed outside. Now that the Blood Pearl bore his soul mark, he decided to store it within and examine it slowly later.
Just a quick glance revealed the vast collection within the Blood Pearl, which made Chen Mo quite excited.
Upon returning to the group, Chen Mo made a mental maneuver, discreetly checking the specific contents within the Blood Pearl.
Firstly, the space inside the Blood Pearl is about half the size of the Divine Light Hall, with countless Low Grade Spirit Stones stacked into small mountains.
But Chen Mo didn’t care about these and focused on the true treasures.
"Blood Demon Technique, cultivation technique, absorbing others’ blood, no bottlenecks..."
Chen Mo glanced at it and felt this cultivation technique was extremely evil.
Though righteousness and evil depend on the individual.
Even though practicing evil cultivation techniques, as long as one’s heart is kind and does righteous deeds, it is not considered evil.
But this Blood Demon Technique cultivates by absorbing human blood.
Though one can use sinful people for cultivation, prolonged practice of such a corrupt technique would inevitably corrode one’s mind, and gradually, for the sake of power, one would extend their hands to innocents...
The advantage of this cultivation technique is that with enough blood, one can continuously improve without bottlenecks, and the quality of the blood also determines cultivation speed.
It doesn’t consider one’s innate talent at all.
Thus, when tempted, the average person couldn’t withstand such enticement.
No wonder the Demon Sect could recover so swiftly.
Chen Mo shifted his gaze to the side.
"Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner, Initial Grade Dao Artifact..."
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
The skeleton demon actually possessed such a treasure.
"The Activation Technique is here too, I’m rich, I’m rich."
The Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner, as its name suggests, can absorb spirits and souls for control.
The Blood Skull the skeleton demon previously used was emitted by the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner.
Moreover, with enough spirits and souls, the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner could transform into an array to summon blood demons.
