I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 415: 232: The Solution to Demonic Qi_2

Zhou Lingyin looked at the female corpse with a serious expression, “The strength of this female corpse is beyond my expectation; it’s impossible to extract its essence and blood in a short period of time.”

“So, what should we do?”

Zhou Lingyin shook her head slightly without answering.

Hearing that, Su Nan couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, can we leave this place now?”

Zhou Lingyin replied, “Not for now. The reason this corpse is buried here is that the space inside this fierce beast isolates some of the rules of the outside world. Once we leave this place, an accident might occur.”

“We can’t leave yet?” Su Nan frowned.

Today is the 13th day of the ” Human Crisis” task. There are only two and a half days left before the task ends.

He needs to make his way to Zhongtian County as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Lingyin’s inability to leave does not significantly affect him.

Looking at the bigger picture, he came to find Zhou Lingyin in order to deal with the imprint on his body. As long as it is resolved, with his strength, it wouldn’t be too difficult to reach Zhongtian County.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked, “Senior, my current body is real. Can you help me check the Divine Blood Imprint in it?”

Zhou Lingyin didn’t say much, only looking over Su Nan’s body.

“There’s only one imprint in your body, located on the humerus of your left arm.”

The humerus is the largest bone in the arm.

Su Nan frowned. If he had to remove the humerus, how would it be any different from removing his entire arm?

Now that the game refresh has passed, if he starts now, he’ll only be able to use one arm for the next half-day.

Su Nan hesitated whether to go ahead with it now.

At this moment, Zhou Lingyin suddenly noticed something. Her eyebrows furrowed, “Huh? There’s demonic qi in your body!”

Su Nan was startled, and immediately responded, “Senior, you noticed that too. It is because of this demonic qi that I cannot breakthrough to the Xuan Rank.”

Zhou Lingyin’s face became serious, “Demonic qi is a very unique power, and it is difficult to deal with. Many powerful individuals in ancient times died because of being tainted by demonic qi.”

“There’s not much demonic qi in your body. If you only want a temporary breakthrough, you can try suppressing it for a while. However, it won’t solve the problem completely, and there will eventually be an outbreak.”

“So, it can only suppress it temporarily?” Su Nan was somewhat disappointed.

Zhou Lingyin was knowledgeable and experienced, and he thought she would have a solution. It seemed that he was being overly optimistic.

Anyway, it’s good enough to elevate this character, Wang Nan, to Xuan-level first. They’ll just have to figure out a solution later.

“How do you suppress it in the meantime?”

Zhou Lingyin said, “The Magic Ling Grass, a spiritual grass, can do this.”

“The Magic Ling Grass is originally an ordinary spiritual grass called Primordial Qi Grass. However, if it grows in a place where demons are suppressed, it will be tainted by the power of the formation that suppresses the demons, having the effect of temporarily suppressing demonic qi.”

“But, that kind of spiritual grass will also be tainted with demonic qi.”

“If you choose to take it, while it can temporarily suppress the demonic qi, once the effect wears off, the demonic qi in your body will only increase, and this trade-off is up to you to decide.”

Both a poison and an antidote?

Su Nan understood Zhou Lingyin’s meaning.

Although the Magic Ling Grass can suppress the demonic qi for a temporary breakthrough, it comes at the cost of increasing the demonic qi in his body.

After a moment of silence, he asked, “Where can I find this Magic Ling Grass?”

No matter what, they’ll focus on breaking through the Xuan rank for Wang Nan first and take things one step at a time from there.

“The Magic Ling Grass is not something particularly precious. If you go to Zhongtian County, you should be able to obtain it easily.”

Su Nan nodded, his mind made up.

There’s also a Tiangong Pavilion in Zhongtian County, where he can purchase it from.

“Senior, how can I leave this space?”

Since the goal of this trip had been achieved and Zhou Lingyin temporarily couldn’t leave, he couldn’t keep waiting here and would have to leave first.

However, Zhou Lingyin’s response caused his heart to sink.

Glancing at the eight-winged female corpse, Zhou Lingyin said, “This space is made to bury this female corpse. It’s easy to come in but difficult to go out. Even teleportation stones won’t work here. It might only be possible to leave once I’ve properly dealt with this female corpse.”

“Can’t leave for now? It seems I’ll have to resort to that method, then.”

If other players faced this situation, they would be out of options, but thankfully, Su Nan does have a way.

He still had a perfect resurrection card!

He could simply commit suicide and then choose to resurrect outside.

Right now, he could use this opportunity to get rid of the mark on him.

Su Nan’s mind worked quickly and he made a decision.

However, before leaving, he needed to deal with the three demon kings.

“Senior, there are three demon kings outside. They were chasing me.”

His intention was clear; he wanted Zhou Lingyin to help him.

This time, she didn’t disappoint him. Zhou Lingyin, knowing he was an outsider who could strengthen his abilities by slaying demons, didn’t refuse.

Zhou Lingyin’s figure disappeared in Kun Tian Prison, and when she reappeared, the three demon kings were brought back with her.

At this moment, the three demon kings’ auras were weak and their faces were pale, having been severely injured by Zhou Lingyin, leaving them with only a fraction of their original strength.

Seeing Su Nan, the three demon kings were a mix of shock and fury, their gazes filled with a desire to tear him apart.

Su Nan looked at the three demon kings and said, “You three, the White Water Demon King has already started his journey, and now it’s your turn.”

He was ready to kill the three demon kings, but before he did, he checked his tasks.

Just like yesterday, there were tasks to kill demon kings today. Wang Nan and Zhang Yang each had one task.

Su Nan attacked, killing the two male demon kings.

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Hunt a Demon King,” 45 demon power points have been awarded.]

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Hunt a Demon King,” 45 demon power points have been awarded.]

[Current available demonic power: 186 points]

The amount of demonic power required for a breakthrough was restored.

“Now I just need that so-called Magic Ling Grass, and I can try to help Wang Nan breakthrough.”

With two demon kings killed, Su Nan didn’t hurry to deal with the remaining female demon king, instead storing her into the Cosmic Ring.

There were only two hunting tasks for demon kings, so it would be a waste to kill all three now. He’d save her for when the tasks refresh tomorrow.

“Senior, how can I contact you next time? Is there anything similar to Parent­child Jade Talisman?”

After this experience, Su Nan didn’t want to run around in search of Zhou Lingyin next time.

Zhou Lingyin took out a jade plate engraved with a moon and a sun, and handed the moon-engraved jade pendant to Su Nan, saying,

“This is the Sun and Moon Jade Pendant, it has a similar effect to the Parent­child Jade Talisman. As long as you use your bloodline power to stimulate it, you can sense the position of the other pendant, but the premise is that the other pendant cannot be stored in a spatial container.”

It can’t be stored in a spatial container?

Su Nan took it and wore it on his person.

Having done this, he finally prepared to deal with the Blood God Seal on his body and leave this place.

At this moment, Zhou Lingyin suddenly said, “If you want to resolve the issue of demonic qi, you can go to the Land of the Lost to find a solution.”

“Land of the Lost?” Su Nan’s eyeslit up, and he immediately asked, “What kind of place is that?”

“The Land of the Lost, like the Divine Ruins, is one of the ten Forbidden Areas of Life in Dongchen State, but it’s different.”

“It was once a very dangerous place, but compared to the Divine Ruins, it was still lacking, until a decision made by the human race thousands of years ago made it a completely forbidden land, an artificially created forbidden land.”

An artificial forbidden land?

Such a place existed in Dongchen State?

“What dangers are there?” asked Su Nan.

Zhou Lingyin didn’t answer directly, but instead asked, “Have you encountered any out-of-control warriors after leaving Sky Wolf Valley?”

Hearing this question, Su Nan was taken aback.

He suddenly realized that, apart from meeting out of control warriors in Kun Tian Prison, he had not met a single one in Tianyun County, not even those who were on the verge of losing control!

“Why is that?”

Su Nan was surprised, and then connecting the dots with Zhou Lingyin’s words, he said, “Is it related to the Land of the Lost?”

Zhou Lingyin nodded, “Yes, warriors who are on the verge of losing control due to bloodline conflict or those who have already lost control are all sent into the Land of the Lost.”

“It was originally a place with no way out, even king-level powerhouses, or even emperor-level powerhouses, can hardly leave once they enter.”

“Based on this characteristic, the major forces use it as a prison for out-of- control warriors, and all the forces have regulations that any person on the verge of losing control must go there voluntarily.”
