Leng Shiqi sensed it carefully. This wisp of black gas was comparable to the spiritual power he gained from a month's worth of cultivation!
This demonic creature might be troublesome or a disaster to others, but to Leng Shiqi, it was clearly a mobile cultivation base!
Leng Shiqi no longer had any thoughts of treasure hunting. He only wanted to look for demonic creatures to improve his cultivation base.
However, this demonic creature was also very strange. Leng Shiqi had always had his Byakugan open, but when the monster appeared, his Byakugan did not detect it.
In addition, the demonic creature did not have a soul after it died. This meant that it was not a living creature!
Of course, ordinary people would not want to encounter such a demonic creature. On the other hand, it was not easy to actively find a demonic creature.
Delta Aurigae walked over and looked at Leng Shiqi's happy expression. She asked, "What did you find?"
"There is something in my body that can absorb the black gas and convert it into my cultivation base." Leng Shiqi did not hide it.
Delta Aurigae tilted her head slightly. "You have a lot of strange things in your body. It seems that you came to the right place to enter the Cloud Demon Palace."
At this moment, Leng Shiqi also remembered that other than the black mark and star mark on the spirit crystal, there was also a golden dragon pattern. This had always been a question in his mind.
He asked, "By the way, you also condensed spirit crystals in the Thunder Flame Dynasty's Dragon Vein. Is there anything special about your spirit crystal?"
At the mention of this, Delta Aurigae's expression turned serious. "There is a golden dragon pattern!"
"As expected."
Leng Shiqi said in a deep voice. "If I'm not wrong, anyone who enters the Dragon Vein to condense spirit crystals will have such a mark. I just don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
"I also asked Lei Muyan about this. She said that this is caused by the special environment of the Dragon Vein. It is said that it can absorb a certain amount of providence.
However, providence is illusory and impossible to verify. As long as it doesn't affect cultivation, it's fine. "Delta Aurigae explained.
However, Leng Shiqi felt that the dragon pattern was not that simple. There might be more to it.
"Rumble!"
Just as they were talking, a series of loud noises came from the distance, followed by a powerful explosion of spiritual light. Many of the buildings in the Cloud Demon Palace began to collapse.
Both of them frowned. Delta Aurigae said, "The battle is so intense. Is the Heavenly Thunderfire Pearl really here?!"
"Not necessarily."
Leng Shiqi looked at the source of the sound with his pale eyes. Because a large number of buildings were damaged, even a part of the formation had disappeared. His white eyes could see the situation there.
"Over there, Fourth Prince Lei Haoran's men are fighting. However, they are not fighting with the Spirit Cultivator, but with the demon we just encountered!"
In fact, in his vision, Lei Haoran and the others were fighting with the air. Thinking that his Byakugan could not detect demons, he said this.
Moreover, judging from the intensity of the battle, they had either encountered a large number of demons or an extremely powerful individual demon.
No matter which one it was, it was very attractive to Leng Shiqi.
However, he did not want to expose himself in front of Lei Haoran. Furthermore, Delta Aurigae had also entered. He could not just give him some black gas to take the risk.
Thus, he said, "Don't worry about them. Let's continue forward."
The two of them walked down the road and soon arrived in front of a small palace. During this time, they were also ambushed by demons. In the end, of course, they became nourishment for Leng Shiqi's cultivation.
He also tested it on Delta Aurigae, but the black gas did not have any effect on her. This made Leng Shiqi even more certain that the black mark was extremely mysterious.
The palace door was tightly shut. The bronze door was engraved with a seemingly chaotic but actually somewhat rhythmic cloud pattern.
Leng Shiqi flicked his finger, and a starlight shot out from his finger. It shot towards the door, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea. "It's a little strange. This bronze door should have a restriction."
"Let me try." Delta Aurigae said.
Leng Shiqi turned his head and said, "You also learned formations?"
"You can say that."
Delta Aurigae smiled mysteriously. Then, she directly forced out a few drops of essence blood. The blood continued to expand and formed a bloody light.
The bloody light contracted again, and in the blink of an eye, a blurry blood-red figure appeared!
Under Delta Aurigae's control, the figure walked to the bronze door and struck out a series of seals. Streaks of blood climbed up the door and began to slowly devour the cloud pattern on the door.
Seeing all of this, Leng Shiqi was very surprised. Delta Aurigae clearly did not cultivate formations, but she used a secret technique to summon a figure who could make formations to help her break the formation. It was very mysterious.
In fact, people like Leng Shiqi, Delta Aurigae, and even Yushu and Hengming spent all of their time on cultivation. As for formations, alchemy, artifact forging, and so on, they were not completely ignorant, but they were not far behind.
Their method of cultivation would make their combat power very strong, but it also had some drawbacks.
For example, the restriction on the door was not very advanced. If they used force to break the formation, it was possible.
However, this would not only expose their location, but it would also consume a lot of spiritual energy.
If they knew some formations, it would be much easier. Delta Aurigae seemed to have found a special method.
Leng Shiqi could not help but ask, "What kind of secret technique is this?"
As Delta Aurigae controlled the blood-red figure, she explained with a smug expression, "Do you remember that I told you that I created a secret technique?"
With that said, Leng Shiqi remembered that when he invited Delta Aurigae to join the Underworld, Delta Aurigae asked him for some blood essence, saying that she was researching a secret technique. "This is the secret technique you created!"
"That's right."
Delta Aurigae nodded, "Currently, I call it the Blood Shadow Secret Technique. I can use the blood essence of a spirit cultivator and some materials to create an existence similar to a clone.
This clone can have a part of the original spirit cultivator's abilities. For example, if it is an array master, the blood shadow I condense has the ability to set up and break arrays!
However, there are too many factors that affect the strength of the ability. This blood shadow in front of me is the most successful one I have made in a long time. Perhaps it can break the restriction on the door. "
After hearing these words, Leng Shiqi could not help but admire Delta Aurigae. This mysterious secret technique was only in its embryonic form, but it was already very powerful. Furthermore, he could see that the potential of the Blood Shadow Secret Technique was quite great!
It could be imagined that if Delta Aurigae studied this secret technique to the extreme, she could create a large number of experts!
This included experts with all kinds of special abilities!
Even Leng Shiqi began to covet this Blood Shadow Secret Technique.
However, he suddenly remembered that Delta Aurigae also took some blood essence from him. What kind of blood shadow would his blood essence condense?
He also asked this question curiously, but Delta Aurigae shook her head gently. "This has to be kept a secret."
