Chapter 12: The Unorthodox Path Of Cultivating Demonic Techniques
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The 4 elements that would alter one’s cultivating progress. First, the way cultivators trained their techniques. Secondly, a good partner to motivate each other to train better. Thirdly, wealth to obtain precious things for training. Finally, a good place to train.
The training place, which was also the cave, was the place where cultivators lived and trained.
1
The best place to train and live was the cave or mountain full with spiritual energy.
The next best place to train was a mountain or cave consisted of a main spiritual vein.
There was a spiritual vein passing through Demonic Devil’s cave. It was truly an excellent place for cultivation.
However, the entire mountain was set up with formations to control the direction of the spiritual energy.
The disciples and servants living at the foot of the mountain could not enjoy the nourishment of the spiritual energy at all.
Spiritual energy only existed above the halfway point of the mountain.
However, there was a powerful restriction set up halfway up the mountain, preventing the disciples and servants from climbing up the mountain.
At this time, Lu Li, holding the black jade pendant, passed through the restriction and finally stepped onto the mountain peak.
Spiritual trees were everywhere on the peak of the mountain. Everything there was green.
Water flowing down from the peak of the mountain and created rainbow bridges.
Under the sunlight, the rainbow bridges crisscrossed and connected to the palaces.
The scene was beautiful and majestic like the heaven!
Lu Li instantly felt relaxed and happy by just standing here. He watched the clouds, the sun rising, and the moon setting.
However, a strange light flashed through Lu Li’s eyes.
While he was living at the foot of the mountain, he thought that the mountain peak that was covered in clouds all year round was filled with a ghostly aura. He had not expected he could see such a beautiful scene.
However, choosing a place was more important!
Lu Li took the black jade pendant and leaped up. He leaped between the tree branches and moved toward a gorgeous palace filled with extremely rich spiritual energy.
However, just as he was about to reach the palace, an invisible force hit him.
He bounced back when the force hit him.
At the same time, mysterious and unusual formation appeared in front of his eyes.
The cave was occupied.
Lu Li did not care about it. He turned around and moved toward another palace.
However, someone was there as well!
After strolling around for a long time, he finally found an eight-story pavilion next to a waterfall at the back of the mountain peak.
The pavilion did not take up a lot of space, only 300 feet in length and width.
However, Lu Li looked around and found a small pool had formed because of the impact of the waterfall.
He exited the pavilion and jumped into the pool.
There was a huge fish in the pool.
1
Not a bad place.
Although the spiritual energy was not as great as the previous palace, when he was tired of training, he would jump out of the window and swim in the pool. He could also roast some fishes for dinner.
It was wonderful.
That was it!
Lu Li did not hesitate anymore. With a few leaps, he jumped in front of the pavilion. He activated his magical power and poured it into the black jade pendant in his hand.
Buzz.
The black jade pendant let out a trembling sound and flew out of his hand. It spun in the air and emitted rings of black light that spread out afterwards.
Soon, the formation of the pavilion was activated.
The entire pavilion lit up.
In the next moment, the doors and windows of the pavilion opened, blowing out waves of smoke and dust.
Even the leaves around the pavilion were swept away.
“Great. There’s no need for me to clean it up.”
Lu Li stretched out his hand, taking back the black jade pendant and pressing it against his forehead.
In an instant, he could see the structure and functions of the cave clearly.
The basement was for him to train and cultivate his techniques. There was a Spirit Gathering Formation too.
Then, the first floor was the living room, the second floor was the martial arts practice field, the third floor was the bedroom, the fourth floor was the pet room, the fifth floor was the pill refining room, the sixth and seventh floors were the study rooms, and the top floor was for him to observe the stars and sky.
The entire pavilion was called the Star Observation Tower.
It belonged to his!
1
Even the spaces around his Star Observation Tower and the medicinal fields behind it were his.
“Such a big difference. The entry-level disciples live in caves, while the true disciples live in such a gorgeous pavilion!”
Lu Li sighed in his heart.
Then, he walked in and inspected floor by floor.
Especially the study room!
If only he could find a Buddhist cultivation technique!
However, he did not find anything.
Before the owner left, he took everything he could, not even leaving behind anything for Lu Li.
He could only forget about it and start training!
Lu Li went to the basement and walked into the secret cultivation room.
Rumble.
A loud sound rang out.
The stone door of the secret cultivation room closed. The restriction was activated too.
Immediately after, he took out the black jade pendant and placed it into the groove on the bluestone floor.
Buzz.
A trembling sound rang out.
The formation on the floor lit up one after another as it was shining brightly.
After that, wisps of spiritual energy floated up from the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Lu Li’s expression became serious as he sat down cross-legged.
“System.”
After muttering to himself, the system interface popped up.
Host: Lu Li.
Realm: Level 1 qi refinement.
Indestructible Divine Technique: Level 3 (Progress 99%).
Heart-Shattering Palm Technique: Level 4 (Progress 15%).
Ghostly Steps Technique: Level 4 (Progress 2%).
His mission was to level up his realm and raise his Indestructible Divine Technique to level 4.
After that, he would concentrate on cultivating and training other techniques.
When he reached Jin Dan stage, he could find a chance to escape from the Myriad Devils Mountain!
Thinking of this, a bright light flashed in Lu Li’s eyes.
Right. The Ghost-Raising Tower.
Suddenly, he remembered the high-grade spiritual tool that Demonic Devil had just given him. Hence, he decided to refine that thing first and leave his mark on it.
Therefore, Lu Li took out the Ghost-Raising Tower from his sleeve and looked at it carefully.
The Ghost-Raising Tower was tiny, half the size of his palm. It was square at the bottom and triangular at the top.
It was also very light.
It was only about the weight of a copper coin.
He did not know what material it was made of. It was neither gold nor iron, neither stone nor wood.
“If this thing is activated, it’ll really weigh 30,000 kg. Besides, is there any problem with this thing?”
Lu Li was a bit suspicious.
However, on second thought, it was unnecessary for Demonic Devil to go through so much trouble if he wanted to harm him.
Therefore, Lu Li bit the tip of his tongue and spat out some blood. At the same time, he poured his magical power into the Ghost-Raising Tower and began to cultivate it.
In a short while, his magical power was exhausted.
He was only halfway through the cultivation.
The weakness of his low-level realm was immediately exposed.
Lu Li had no choice but to take out some spirit stones to absorb and continue the cultivation while inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy.
Finally, the cultivation of the Ghost-Raising Tower was completed after 4 hours!
Lu Li could feel a faint connection connected him to the small tower.
In the future, if he continued to cultivate it with blood, he would soon reach the realm of being able to do as he pleased.
However, in order to fully unleash the power of the Ghost-Raising Tower, he had to reach the seventh or eighth level of qi refinement realm.
Anyhow, he still had to cultivate!
Lu Li’s expression turned serious. He took out the Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique and the annotations. As he began to recover his mana, he began to study it.
1
After approximately 10 minutes, all his mana was restored.
Lu Li also completely understood the pros and cons of cultivating the Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique.
This demonic technique was an advanced version of the Blood-Devouring Demonic Technique. After cultivating it, it would condense a blood-devouring demonic light that could devour the qi of heaven and earth, the essences of all 5 elements, and so on.
Of course, human blood could also be devoured.
When one completed the cultivation, one could devour anything.
However, if one wanted to cultivate quickly, one had to consume spiritual blood. It would be best if it was the blood of a powerful cultivator or a great spirit.
However, if one consumed blood for a long time, one’s body would accumulate a type of poison that would cause one to become addicted to blood.
In other words, the more one cultivated the Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique, the greater the addiction to blood.
In the end, one would be unhappy without blood!
“It seems that this demonic technique is not suitable for me to cultivate too.”
Lu Li frowned slightly.
However, if he wanted to increase his realm, he could only rely on this demonic technique. If he wanted to cultivate by himself, he would need 1 to 2 months to break through to the second level.
It was too slow!
Oh? That was not right!
The technique could devour the qi of heaven and earth?
Lu Li suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up. He got up and ran out of the secret cultivation room. He then went to the top floor.
He took off his clothes and lay on a huge jade bed.
Then, he started to cultivate his Purple Clouds Sun Refining Sutra to absorb the sunlight.
The system notification immediately sounded.
[Because you are fully in contact with the essence of the great sun, your Purple Clouds Sun Refining Sutra is full of energy. Your cultivation effect has increased by 100% again!]
[Progress increased by 1%.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, a stream of hot air immediately emerged from his abdomen and circulated around his entire body.
Immediately after, Lu Li stopped his cultivation and began to cultivate his Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique.
[Congratulations, host. You have learned the Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique.]
In this instant, he successfully cultivated the Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique.
A trace of cold air also condensed in his abdomen.
Without waiting for Lu Li’s instructions, this trace of cold air automatically chased the hot air and swallowed it, strengthening itself.
[Because your Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique has swallowed the sun qi, you are in a good mood. The effect of your cultivation has increased by 100%.]
[Progress has increased by 1%.]
