Chapter 58: Demonic Reverse Beast Raising Technique

Whoosh!

Lu Chen gripped the Blood Spirit Sword, swung it, and sword qi spread in all directions.

The chilling blood-colored sword qi turned into a long rainbow, wrapped in terrifying killing aura, sweeping toward a fourth-tier Blood Thunder Leopard.

The Blood Thunder Leopard, which had been darting through the air, suddenly stalled; immediately, the sword qi, carrying killing aura, pierced its body, and a bloodstain running through its whole body quickly appeared.

In the next moment, a gush of thick blood spurted out.

Soon after, another demonic beast appeared......

As dusk fell, all demonic beasts within a ten-li radius had been wiped out by Lu Chen and his two companions.

Besides harvesting plenty of beast blood, beast materials, and pill ingredients, Lu Chen also unexpectedly found the materials for two kinds of Soul-Nurturing Pills.

During this time, he also noticed Xu Lin approaching him intentionally or not, but whenever they had even slight bodily contact, she kept stepping back.

Watching Lu Chen dispatch the last demonic beast, Xu Cheng and Xu Lin's wariness grew a bit more.

"I thought he didn't act then because his strength was insufficient, but I never expected a fourth-tier demonic beast comparable to the peak of the Stored Elixir Realm to be so fragile before him."

"Junior Sister, an ordinary person could never achieve such a feat."

"Probably that alchemist gave him many treasures to boost his cultivation; otherwise he couldn't match a Spirit Transformation Cultivator while still at the Stored Elixir Realm."

Xu Cheng firmly believed that Lu Chen's strength was entirely thanks to Chu Lian.

But unfortunately, what he thought was wrong.

"Brother Lu, we've killed all the demonic beasts we can within a ten-li radius; let's call it a day."

Lu Chen stopped his movements and bottled the last of the beast blood.

"Alright." He replied, summoned his Imperial Sword, and the three flew back toward the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After returning to the Heavenly Demon Sect and parting ways with Xu Cheng, Lu Chen went back to his quarters.

Seeing the scattered waste materials, he knew Chu Lian must have failed again today.

When she saw him return, Chu Lian's pupils trembled slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"Lu Chen, Master just came back, went into that inner room, and is holding a strange demonic beast."

Gu Xiangxiang beside her still bore a trace of shock, likely from being frightened by that Crimson Thunder Yao.

"Hmm, I know."

Lu Chen nodded, glanced at Chu Lian, then entered the room where Su Qian was.

"Master, I've already brought the Crimson Thunder Yao under control."

Pushing open the door, Lu Chen saw Su Qian setting up a formation, binding the Crimson Thunder Yao within it.

"Not bad."

Lu Chen approached to observe and found that, after just half a day, the originally extremely weak Crimson Thunder Yao had recovered considerably, and the visible wounds on its body were healing at an astonishing speed.

"I didn't expect its self-healing ability to be this terrifying."

Lu Chen had originally planned to go to the Demonic Technique Pavilion tomorrow to look for a beast-taming technique, but seeing the situation, he couldn't delay any further.

Otherwise, once the Crimson Thunder Yao fully recovers, things will only become more troublesome.

"Wait here for me; I'll be right back."

Having said that, Lu Chen quickly left his quarters and arrived at the Demonic Technique Pavilion.

With his status as the Holy Son of the affiliated sect, he quickly reached the top floor and found the room dedicated to storing beast-taming techniques.

He had just opened the room when he suddenly noticed a woman's silhouette.

All he saw was a tall woman in purple robes, her back to him, holding a technique and reading it with interest.

Upon realizing that someone would come here at this time, the woman seemed a bit surprised.

After the brief surprise, she resumed reading the technique.

Lu Chen saw that she hadn't spoken, so he didn't say anything either.

He casually walked up to a technique shelf and activated the system.

After searching, he found among all the techniques the one with the greatest side effects.

【Detecting Demonic Technique, Demonic Reverse Beast Raising Technique!】

【Original Effect: Practicing this technique allows one to sign a master-servant contract with a demonic beast. After signing, one must feed it essence blood daily; if feeding stops, the beast will cease to break through and will likely suffer a backlash, dying in the underworld.】

【Reversed Effect: Practicing this technique allows one to sign a master-servant contract with a demonic beast. After signing, one must feed it essence blood daily; if feeding stops, the beast's breakthrough speed will greatly increase.】

"Not feeding it will actually greatly increase its breakthrough speed."

Looking at the system's description, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

Such a technique was perfect for him.

"It's you."

Saying that, he reached out to take the technique from the technique shelf.

But just then, the woman who had been silent all along suddenly glanced at him and spoke:

"You'd better not choose that technique; its side effects are too great, and if you can't bear them, you'll likely provoke the beast to turn on its master."

She didn't know Lu Chen possessed the system, so she didn't think her reminder was anything special.

On the contrary, she thought his character was not bad.

"Thank you, miss, but I still want to choose this technique."

Lu Chen said, took the technique down, and then turned to leave the room.

But just then, the woman suddenly blocked his path.

"You... are you from the Nine Nether Sect?!"

Saying that, the woman turned her body, which had been facing away from him, around.

The woman's tall, slender figure was outlined by a purple robe that accentuated her tight build and fine waist.

The black long hair scattered over the shoulders, the skin white as jade.

Of course, there's also those not-so-important jade feet.

At the slit of the long skirt, there's a faint sense of flesh being pressed, smooth and delicate, slender like congealed fat, also reflecting a faint luster, making people unable to restrain a primal impulse.

Lu Chen also didn't know how the other party recognized him; perhaps it was through some item on his person.

"I'm from the Nine Abyss Sect, senior, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's definite answer, the woman's face showed a hint of delight.

"Do you know a disciple named Qin Lin?"

"Qin Lin?!" Upon hearing that name, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Wasn't that the somewhat talkative disciple from the Burial Bone Ground Ancient Tomb earlier?

"I know, who are you?"

"My name is Qin Yan, I'm Qin Lin's older sister."

"Older sister?" Lu Chen was stunned again.

He really didn't expect that the other party actually also had an older sister in the Heaven Devil Sect.

But that makes sense; if he had no backing, it would be impossible for him to possess such strength at that time.

"Hasn't he mentioned you before?" Thinking of how talkative his younger brother was, yet Lu Chen had never heard of her, Qin Yan suddenly felt some suspicion.

"He mentioned it, he mentioned it, but I didn't expect that he looks ordinary, while his older sister is born so... beauty that could overthrow a nation."

It's not that Lu Chen's eyebrows have collapsed because of the other party.

But he currently has no acquaintances in the Heaven Devil Sect; if he could become more familiar with the other party, it might be a bit convenient.

After all, he still has to complete the Empress's task later.

Upon hearing what Lu Chen said, Qin Yan seemed to express herself very indifferently.

Too many people have praised her like that, so her heart has long had no ripples.

"Since you know Qin Lin, could you help me with something?"
