Chapter 105 - 105: Initial Success of Demonic Pattern
“Did you succeed?” asked Li Ming, who was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him.
“I did.” Liu Mengyun’s tone was filled with joy. “Junior Brother, your talent is truly outstanding. The demonic pattern fused with you very well.”
Liu Mengyun smiled when she saw Li Ming grimacing in pain.
“I found this rune in the body of a bronze rhino demonic beast. It’s very simple and can absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to strengthen the body. Your entire body is covered in the bronze color of the demonic tattoo.
Coincidentally, you cultivate the Golden Crow Body Forging Technique. As long as you hide it a little, no one should be able to notice it.”
At this moment, Li Ming was shocked by the sight of his body.
Two red lines extended from his palm to his chest, then crossed at his chest, and then extended to his legs to his feet. On Li Ming’s chest, there were two red lines connected together.
Seeing Li Ming’s misgivings, Liu Mengyun said calmly, “Don’t worry. After two days, these lines will completely merge with your body. Even if others practice some eye technique, they should not be able to see through it.”
Li Ming sighed. If he went out with such a scary tattoo, he would be in trouble.
“This demonic pattern is very easy to understand, but you should not hold too much hope for it. I did not have that many crystals and materials, so I could not make any good demonic patterns. Regardless, this should be enough for he time being,” said Liu Mengyun calmly.
Li Ming subconsciously moved his hand. When his hand touched the center of his brows, his fingers seemed to have touched something strange.
“What is this?”
“Hehe, that’s a demon’s demonic core. While it cannot be compared to an actual demonic core, it should be enough for you,” said Liu Mengyun proudly. Li Ming had long known that monsters and beasts also had their own inner cores, while demons had their demonic cores. This was the most important basis for distinguishing between monsters and demons.
Although cultivators could also form golden cores, there were some differences. The inner core of monsters and demonic cores of demons were extremely crucial materials. However, he had only heard about them and had never seen any with his own eyes.
“Demonic core?” Li Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
“You can test it out,” said Liu Mengyun.
Hearing this, Li Ming involuntarily began to circulate the Fetal Breathing Spiritual Technique.
He immediately noticed the difference.
The heaven and earth yuan qi in the world gathered toward him frenziedly.
Every pore on his body opened naturally, and the spiritual qi entered his body without any hindrance. His body was like a wonderful filter that easily filtered out the impurities in the spiritual qi. The filtered spiritual qi then turned into specks of starlight and fused into his body.
The Golden Crow Body Tempering Art that he cultivated also showed signs of breaking through.
Li Ming was slightly stunned. Just as Liu Mengyun had said, it was like breathing qi into one’s body. He could not feel any obstruction. It seemed like he could completely absorb this spiritual qi without any problem.
He was ecstatic!
With these demonic patterns, his cultivation speed would be several times faster.
He recalled the demonic core that Liu Mengyun had mentioned earlier. He was not sure what the demonic core looked like, but he was certain that the magic core was definitely useful for him when it came to storing spiritual qi.
As expected, a diamond-shaped crystal appeared on his forehead. It was somewhat similar to the red crystal he had obtained earlier, but it was not as bright or pure as the red crystal.
What surprised Li Ming even more was that his body had undergone such a huge change after the addition of the demonic core.
If his previous divine sense was like a mist, then his current divine sense was like a tentacle with countless thin hairs.
These slender tentacles floated around Li Ming and imprinted everything around him in his mind.
His sixth sense had become more sensitive because he possessed divine sense.
Moreover, obtaining a demonic core made his sixth sense even more sensitive.
Following his will, these divine sense tentacles moved around with extreme agility, flying around his body.
Li Ming, who had been a little nervous before, could no longer suppress the joy in his heart. He did not know about other aspects, but he was certain that he could cultivate much, much faster now.
With just these two benefits, he felt that the procedure was surely worth it!
With the improvements and his original inner core, his cultivation speed would increase several times.
Just as he was feeling smug, Liu Mengyun suddenly said, “Don’t get too carried away. I’ve never added demonic patterns or a demonic core on anyone else in the past, so you’ll have to watch out for any repercussions.”
“You will have to research it yourself in the future. Even if you absorbed spiritual qi quickly, if you fail to store it, then everything will be in vain.” The ecstatic Li Ming slowly calmed down.
Liu Mengyun was right. The speed at which he absorbed spiritual qi was much faster than before, but it was useless if he could not store it.
“Learning formations.” Liu Mengyun said, “What you need to learn now is formations.
“Learn formations?” Li Ming was stunned.
“That’s right. It does not matter if you’re a demon or a sword cultivator, the roots are still pretty much the same,” Liu Mengyun said in a deep voice. “In the end, cultivation is a type of formation. These are all things that you will need to learn on your own. Cultivation formations are very complicated, you needed to study them deeply. It will be very beneficial for your cultivation.”
“You don’t understand either?” In his opinion, Liu Mengyun had outstanding talents. In terms of cultivation knowledge, he believed that she was definitely above countless others. How could he understand something that even she could not?
It was rare for Liu Mengyun to show a serious expression. She said in an incomprehensible tone, “It’s difficult to explain, and it’s meaningless if you don’t experience it yourself.”
Even though he did not understand, Li Ming felt that Liu Mengyun’s words were unusually serious. He silently remembered this point.
When he returned to the sect, the people in the sect naturally praised Li Ming greatly.
In addition to spirit stones and pills, the sect master even kindly allowed him to make a request.
This was not because he had a sudden impulse. Cultivation required a lot of medicinal pills, and Li Ming had always been struggling when it came to this regard.
If he could refine pills, the cost of cultivation would be greatly reduced. At the same time, he could also refine pills to earn some spirit stones.
Although the sect master was a little puzzled, the sect master still agreed, “You can go and learn from Elder Shi.”
After seeing Shi Fengrong, he explained his intentions.
“From today onward, you will learn pill refinement from me.” Shi Fengrong said, “I have ten sets of herbs here. If these are not enough, you can buy more for yourself.’
“The recipe for the fasting pill is in this secret room. You can browse through the things here at will, but if the pill formula’s level is too high, you cannot browse through it. Everything you want is in the pill refining room on the right. That’s where you will refine your pills. Alright, you can go..”
