What?
The techniques could fight each other?
Lu Li jumped up, and he took a closer look. The progress of the Heart-Shattering Palm Technique had indeed decreased by 1% .
“…”
Lu Li’s heart ached a little.
The 1% progress could only be restored by exorcising 10 malicious spirits in the tenth level of the qi refinement stage.
However, on careful thought, the cultivation techniques of the Devil path and the Buddhist path were incompatible with each other. It was reasonable.
In the Demonic sect, Daoist sect, and Buddhist sect, there were also many talented cultivators who wanted to cultivate both Buddha path and Devil path’s techniques.
However, the results were very tragic.
They either died from qi deviation or became crazy.
Those who could truly cultivate both Buddha path and Devil path could only be those peerless geniuses.
However, such geniuses were extremely rare, as rare as hen’s teeth.
Lu Li knew his own limitations.
He was not talented.
It seemed that if he wanted to cultivate both Buddha path and Devil path in the future, he would first have to find a supreme cultivation technique that could mediate between them.
Fortunately, although the cultivation of the Heart-Shattering Palm Technique had regressed, it was still at the fourth level.
It had not regressed to the third level.
The Heart-Shattering Palm Technique made him worry!
Lu Li frowned slightly and continued to lie down. He relaxed and began to recuperate.
He had stayed in the Demons Cave for 20 days, and his mind was tense. He was exhausted.
Since he had returned to his cave, he naturally had to take a good rest.
Very soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Lu Li woke up, and he was full of energy.
[Your Indestructible Divine Technique is unable to break through because your realm is low and your physical body is lacking in spiritual energy.]
[Your Ghostly Steps Technique has been diligently cultivated. Your progress has increased by 1%.]
[Your Heart-Shattering Palm Technique has been diligently cultivated. Your progress has increased by 5%.]
As soon as he woke up, the system notification sounded in his mind.
Great!
After Lu Li heard it, he smiled.
The Heart-Shattering Palm Technique surprised him!
It seemed like he had to find a few more Buddhist cultivation techniques and let them provoke his Heart-Shattering Palm Technique!
Lu Li thought as he walked out of his cave.
Very soon, he caught a few rabbits and killed them.
He then setup the fire!
An hour later, he coated the meat with scallions, ginger, garlic, and honey. He cooked the rabbits, and he had crispy golden roasted rabbit for dinner.
While he was enjoying his dinner, he reflected and summarized the 20 days of battle.
At the same time, he tidied up the spiritual herbs and poisonous herbs he found in the Demons Cave. He prepared to sell them to exchange for some spirit stones.
With that, 3 days passed in a flash.
Demonic Devil would test his cultivation techniques today!
Rumble!
Halfway up the mountain, the huge black stone door of the huge cave slowly opened.
A sinister voice came from the door, resounding throughout the mountain peak.
“Hurry up. Come in!”
It was the voice of Demonic Devil!
Lu Li and the other disciples did not dare to be negligent. They sped up and entered the cave.
On the way, the disciples were naturally wary of each other. They were hostile and spying on each other.
When they saw that Lu Li was still in the first level of the qi refinement realm, they gloated at him.
Lu Li’s expression was cold. He was extremely calm.
Who knew that he had already broken into the edge of the second level of the Demons Cave. He could suppress and exorcise 5 malicious spirits with level 10 qi refinement alone?
“Greetings, Master!”
Soon, the 7 people entered the cave. When they saw Demonic Devil sitting on the white bone chair, they all bowed and greeted him.
“Good!”
Demonic Devil was still wrapped in a black robe, emitting a dense ghostly qi and a mountain-like pressure.
A pair of blood-red eyes slowly swept over the 7 people.
Finally, he paused on Lu Li’s body and narrowed his blood-red eyes.
“April has arrived. Today, I will continue to test your techniques! Xiao Yan, why don’t you go first!”
Demonic Devil began to call out names.
“Yes!”
Xiao Yan confidently took a step forward and cupped his hands in salute.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and a stream of bloody qi flew out. It was thick, and it was more than three feet long. It was circling around his body too.
On a closer look, there seemed to be a few resentful souls trapped in this stream of bloody qi, letting out soundless howls.
“Eh? Your blood-devouring demonic qi is fierce. It must have absorbed the bloody qi of 10 cultivators. These resentful souls were at least at the eighth level of the qi refinement realm when they were alive. With your level 5 qi refinement, you could killed an opponent at the eighth level of the qi refinement realm. Not bad!”
Demonic Devil narrowed his blood-red eyes and commented.
He seemed to be very satisfied.
“Thank you for your praise, Master!”
Xiao Yan cupped his hands and bowed again, looking rather happy.
It was as if he could already see that he had become Demonic Devil’s true disciple.
“Step aside first. Next, Zhou Qingwu, you go.” Demonic Devil ordered.
“Yes!”
Xiao Yan stepped aside.
After that, another disciple stepped forward.
It was a female disciple.
She was about 20 years old, and she was stunning. She stepped forward and bowed. “I specialize in the Ghostly Steps Technique. Master, please guide me.”
As she spoke, she stepped forward, and a shadow appeared in the middle of the hall.
Unexpectedly, 3 seconds after her demonstration, a huge black qi snake appeared behind the Demonic Devil. It stretched out its long neck and swallowed the woman.
Then, the black snake instantly shrank back and disappeared.
Everyone was shocked.
Lu Li’s pupils also shrank slightly.
“Hmph, this slut, instead of practicing hard, she went to seduce others. She spoiled my reputation. Damn it!”
At this time, Demonic Devil snorted coldly and swept his cold gaze across the crowd. It was very shocking.
Some of their faces instantly turned pale.
Lu Li’s heart also inexplicably jumped.
He originally thought that Demonic Devil was cultivating in seclusion in the cave, so he would not know or care about his disciples.
It seemed that Demonic Devil had been secretly watching them!
“Next, Fang Yuan.”
Demonic Devil called out names again.
The skinny young man stood out shakily. His face was already covered in sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Bang.
Soon, he kneeled on the ground. “Master, please spare my life. I got closer to Nine Yin Master to be a spy and help you gather information. I didn’t think of betraying you…”
“With you, you piece of trash? Go to hell! Die!”
Demonic Devil seemed to be very angry. He even cursed him.
Bang.
The familiar scene appeared again.
The man kneeling on the ground exploded on the spot and turned into a bloody mist.
Then, he was directly sucked up by Demonic Devil.
Seeing this scene, the remaining people’s faces turned slightly pale.
Lu Li’s heart sank too.
It seemed that the rumor that Demonic Devil only accepted 1 true disciple was true.
Hence, only 1 of them could live!
Thinking of this, Lu Li’s expression turned slightly cold. His right hand hidden in his sleeve gently squeezed and crushed the glass bottle that was already in his hand.
Swish.
Just as he made a small move, a sharp gaze swept over.
It was Demonic Devil!
The Jin Dan monster had sensed it!
However, he instantly retracted his gaze and nothing happened.
“Next!”
Demonic Devil yelled again.
Bang.
The disciple who went up died.
And then… Bang.
The 2 disciples who followed closely behind also died.
There was only 1 cause of death.
They were not good enough. They were stupid and dumb. Their cultivation progress was not up to the standard.
At that point, in the huge cave, only Xiao Yan and Lu Li were left standing.
“Lu Li, it’s your turn.”
Demonic Devil’s bone-chilling voice rang out.
Xiao Yan’s lips curled up slightly, and his gaze was cold and resentful.
He looked at Lu Li as if he was looking at a dead person.
“Yes.”
Lu Li’s expression became serious as he took a step forward.
In the next moment, he tilted his head slightly and said to Xiao Yan coldly, “Senior Brother Xiao, please move aside. I’ll show you my techniques now.”
