Chapter 1834 A Mouth of Blood
Facing Jing Yuexin's question, Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "Of course!"
He knew his family's background too well, and almost all of his skills were practiced in a makeshift way.
Even though there are many high-level practitioners in the team, their basic skills are really poor.
Therefore, even if it is just a technique for Qi Refining or Foundation Building, it is worth learning from.
However, in front of Qu Shitong, not only did they dig up someone's ancestral grave, but they also searched for their martial arts skills. It was really a bit...
He thought about it and released a few more team members and gave instructions.
"Go check out other houses as well. In addition to investigating the demons, make sure to collect some useful resources."
The natives who were infected by the demonic energy have all been taken into the Cloud Crown, and the possibility of everyone being harassed by the demons has been greatly reduced.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't feel comfortable letting the people go.
The person who just came out didn't say anything when he saw outsiders were present. He just communicated with them through his spiritual sense and then left.
Next, they roamed around the warehouses and secret rooms of each family. Even if there were formations blocking them, they could not stop them from attacking at will.
However, what made Qu Jianlei speechless was that the act of digging graves was seen everywhere in the entire small world.
This world is so small that he doesn’t even need to pay special attention to it. He can sense it easily.
This kind of behavior... Oh, Qu Jianlei didn't know what to say.
However, not long after, someone came to report their gains - in addition to some skills, there were also elixirs, magic weapons and spirit stones!
Unfortunately, apart from the spirit stones, the other resources... are of a rather low level and can basically not be used by the team.
However, there was an unexpected gain. They actually obtained a method to produce spiritual liquid.
There used to be spiritual veins in the small world, but as time went by, the spiritual veins gradually disappeared.
The available spirit stones are becoming fewer and fewer.
There is a family with the surname Tang, whose ancestors have a heritage of gathering spiritual veins.
It’s a pity that the inheritance is incomplete, the small world is short of resources, and it does not have the conditions to condense spiritual veins.
However, the Tang family borrowed some of the inheritance and actually created a method to condense spiritual energy into spiritual liquid.
When Qu Jianlei and his companions arrived, there were already many people in the small world using spiritual liquid, and they tried to save the use of spiritual stones as much as possible.
The melee between the two major camps a few days ago actually involved this technology.
In fact, Mu Guang also had the means to condense spiritual liquid, and he had used it before.
However, the principles of the two methods are different, and there are indeed aspects worth learning from them.
Needless to say, by learning from each other and making improvements, at least the efficiency of condensing spiritual liquid will be greatly improved.
"This is a good harvest," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly.
Before this, everyone only used the spirit gathering array to practice. After they had spirit stones, they would occasionally use them, but ignored the spirit liquid.
Now it seems that the cultivators in the small world can use spiritual liquid instead of spiritual stones, so why don’t we use it?
This is actually a misconception. The natives here have no choice but to do so.
However, since these people have already proved that spiritual liquid can be used to replace spiritual stones, why don't we learn from them?
But apart from this, the other gains were unremarkable, and there was no trace of the demon at all.
Since there are no clues, Qu Jianlei and others can only choose to use the Cloud Crown to refine the demonic energy in the bodies of those cultivators and spirit beasts.
It must be admitted that this process... is a bit bloody. It is extremely difficult to remove the demonic energy from those cultivators.
However, the same thing goes, when the imperial people need to be ruthless, they will never show mercy.
Although everyone involved in the refining could sense the miserable wails coming from the cloud crown in real time, no one cared.
The paranoid person even said indifferently, "You are willing to do such a thing as cannibalism, and you still expect me to be merciless?"
At this moment, Qu Shitong not only confirmed that the huge cloud crown was the work of this group of people, but also knew that they were refining the demonic energy.
As a native of this world, he couldn't help but ask, "Can those cultivators... still survive?"
"It depends on luck," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "We are not sure about this situation."
Before long, the spirit beasts were refined one after another, and then... it was the cultivator's turn.
The process is a bit inappropriate for children, so there is no need to explain it in detail. Anyway, the cultivators who were deeply affected by the demonic energy also died in large numbers.
On the fifth day of refining, the Jindan spirit beast died. Two days later, the Jindan cultivator who advanced by eating humans also died.
However, those practitioners who were less affected are still struggling.
Finally, even Qing Hu couldn't help himself, "Boss, how about we tell your fortune? If we refine all of it, will the consequences be too severe?"
During these seven days, everyone took turns refining it, while some people were also searching the small world, trying to find the demonic energy.
In everyone's opinion, it is impossible for the demonic energy to appear for no reason. Even if Xiong Chumo did something, it would not have such a big impact.
It's just a foundation-building project, how earth-shattering can it be?
Unfortunately, that cold aura could not be found, and no clues were found in the mountains and forests where spiritual beasts gathered.
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei simply told a fortune and unexpectedly discovered that he had actually found a place where the demonic energy was overflowing.
This place is very close to the territory of the Tang family, the family that knows how to condense spiritual liquid.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the Demonic Eye is more than a hundred kilometers below the surface, and is vaguely connected to the Tang family's spiritual liquid pool.
This passage is not only invisible to the naked eye, but also difficult to detect with spiritual sense.
However, the spiritual liquid pool was not activated and the demonic energy was in a suspended state, probably because of the conflict between the two major camps.
It is precisely because of this that everyone searched many times but found nothing strange.
Qu Jianlei roughly realized that the demonic energy had mixed into the spiritual liquid, so all the cultivators were affected.
As for the spiritual beast being attacked, it was probably because the spiritual energy released after the spiritual liquid was used also brought with it the hidden danger of demonic energy.
He was not sure whether this was the case, but this time, the divination did not make him feel any backlash.
Maybe... it's the protection of the small world? After all, it was built by a cultivator, and the influence of the demonic energy on it must be negative.
So Qu Jianlei came to the vicinity of the Demonic Eye again and dug more than a hundred kilometers underground.
When everyone sensed the familiar cold aura emanating, Jing Yuexin raised the Cloud Crown again.
Qu Shitong saw all of this, but he could do nothing but sigh inwardly.
The world outside... is really colorful. Among a group of people who come here, there is actually more than one Nascent Soul.
Moreover, the other party did not wrongly accuse the locals and actually discovered the nest of the demonic energy.
Wrong, strictly speaking, the judgment was correct, there is indeed demonic energy here, but those local cultivators...what guilt have they committed?
This small world where I was born and raised actually has such a huge hidden danger. Those so-called powerful people back then, haha, were nothing but that.
All in all, his mentality is quite complicated, with envy, injustice, and deep helplessness.
For Qu Jianlei and others, discovering the Demonic Eye was originally a good thing, but something went wrong during the process of collecting it.
The demonic energy in the underground cave was not too heavy, but as Jing Yuexin restrained it, the demonic energy still continued to emerge.
What’s worse is that those cultivators who were being stripped of their demonic energy were also severely affected.
Not only were they unable to clear out their own demonic energy, but the influx of external demonic energy also aggravated their pain.
Jing Yuexin is not a bloodthirsty person, and she considered the feelings of these people at the beginning.
So while she was concentrating, she began to refine the demonic energy—the aura wasn't that strong anyway.
She was refining and collecting it at the same time, and originally thought that it wouldn't take long, but she didn't expect that it would take her a whole day and a night to finish collecting it.
With her Nascent Soul cultivation level, refining it for a day and a night would not consume much spiritual energy.
Influenced by the eldest brother, everyone would conserve most of their spiritual energy at all times and be ready to respond at any time.
However, this abnormality was enough to make Jing Yuexin alert, and she informed the boss in time.
Qu Jianlei was not very surprised by this. It was normal for the human race, which had brought disaster to an entire world, to have more demonic energy.
The problem was that he couldn't come up with any good solution to this situation and could only continue digging deeper.
However, the existence of the Demonic Eye was very strange. Although it was in the cave, he found nothing more after digging.
Instead, the Qi eye became suspended in the air, empty and without any force, but the demonic Qi still continued to emerge.
It was as if the place where the energy eye was located was connected to a certain void.
But unfortunately, Qu Jianlei did not sense any spatial fluctuations.
After hearing about it, Jiao Daoren and Yi He also came to feel it.
Finally, it was Master Jiao who said, "It is said that the demons are invisible and can cross the boundary through the cracks in the boundary. I am afraid this is it?"
Yi He agreed with his point of view, and added, "If Xiong Chumo cooperates in the middle, it will not be difficult to cross the boundary membrane."
Boundary membrane... Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched. With such a weak boundary membrane, is there a big difference between having it and not having it?
Jing Yuexin was a person who didn't believe in evil. "In that case, I'll see how many days it will take to collect them all!"
She was furious, but this was not just her business. Two days later, the paranoid man took over the cloud crown and continued to collect the power, allowing her to rest.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and the demonic energy was still emerging, as if endless.
But at this time, the refiner no longer had the energy to control the strength of the spiritual energy - everyone's patience was limited.
The cultivators who were contaminated by the evil spirit in the cloud crown were in a miserable state. Under the attack from both inside and outside, a large number of cultivators died and were refined.
Unfortunately, except Qu Shitong, no one present cared about their life or death.
But on the eleventh day, Qu Jianlei couldn't stand it anymore, "Could it be connected to the entire demon world?"
If that's the case, let alone ten days, even if it's ten or a hundred years... it will still be endless!
Then he took out the shells and tortoise shells, and fortunately no one spoke up to stop him.
After the divination was completed, his face turned pale in an instant.
His mouth moved twice, and two minutes later, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
