An Imperial Spirit that hides Qi is useless to you right now. You're worried that the little snake will notice your rapidly increasing cultivation and become suspicious, right? There's no need to worry.
In the Blood Pool, Dan Ji advised.
Only at the Venerable level can one see through an ordinary Cultivator's cultivation at a glance. Unless that little snake uses special methods to probe, she won't be able to tell.
Changqing had no choice but to choose again.
After Cultivating for three days in Liu Lu's Dan Room, he came to Dan Ji again to choose an Imperial Spirit, but he didn't find anything too appealing.
Although Dan Ji had a large number of Low-Grade Imperial Spirits, there weren't many types. Most were Blood Law Spirits, and the rest were some auxiliary Imperial Spirits.
"You might as well choose this Blood Arrow Spirit. It's still a means of attack, much better than your original Bone Spike Spirit."
Seeing him hesitate, Dan Ji reminded him from the side.
Changqing didn't rush to make a choice. Instead, he looked at the three Imperial Spirits he had finally chosen and fell into deep thought.
The Blood Arrow Spirit resembled a slender throat, slowly wriggling.
After Changqing injected Blood Qi into it, it began to contract violently, and then a blood-condensed arrow shot out from it, hitting the wall and leaving a shallow pit.
Its power was decent, but it needed a moment to accumulate before firing and consumed a lot of Blood Qi.
It reminded him of the water guns he played with in the summer on Earth.
Next to it were two other Imperial Spirits.
One was shaped like an egg, but it was covered with countless tiny holes. After Spiritual Qi was injected, a large amount of Blood Mist instantly sprayed out from the holes, and soon it filled the entire cave.
The Blood Mist Spirit could release a large amount of Blood Mist by consuming Blood Qi, used to obscure the enemy's vision, similar to a smoke bomb.
Its drawbacks were also obvious: one was that it consumed a lot of Blood Qi, and the other was that it had no offensive capabilities.
The last Imperial Spirit was shaped like a bundle of red thread, constantly wriggling.
After Changqing injected Spiritual Qi into it, the red thread moved around his body, but it didn't have any effect.
The Blood Arrow Spirit and Blood Mist Spirit were both Lower Grade Yellow Spirits, requiring four of Changqing's acupoints, which was suitable for him.
The reason Changqing chose this last Imperial Spirit was simply because it was the only Medium Grade Yellow Spirit Dan Ji had that required five acupoints to carry, and he happened to only have five acupoints left.
"Master, what kind of Imperial Spirit is this? Why does it have no effect when I inject Spiritual Qi into it?"
"A Blood Filament Spirit, just a petty trick. You can try wrapping it around your wrist and then taking your wrist off."
Changqing was a little confused, but he still tried it.
Then a strange scene occurred. The red thread wriggled and burrowed into Changqing's wrist. With a thought, his hand detached from his wrist and fell to the ground.
This scene slightly surprised him, but fortunately, there was no pain. Upon closer inspection, he could still see several red threads extending from the severed end of his wrist, connecting to his hand.
He tried to control his hand, and it was as flexible as usual.
"The Blood Filament Spirit can be used as a medium to control your limbs. The advantage is that it consumes very little Blood Qi. The disadvantage is that it will break if it suffers even a slight attack, and then your hand will truly be severed. So it's basically unusable in combat, essentially exposing a weakness."
However, after hearing Dan Ji's introduction, Changqing didn't think this Blood Filament Spirit was useless. Instead, his eyes lit up.
This Imperial Spirit is very useful!
Firstly, the blood threads are quite hidden. In the dark, they are almost undetectable from a little distance.
Secondly, if used on the eyes, wouldn't it become a simple "camera"?
If used on the ears, wouldn't it become a simple "eavesdropping device"?
Changqing only thought of these for now, but even just this was enough.
"Master, could you bestow this Blood Filament Spirit upon your Disciple?"
"If you want it, take it. Following me in the future, you won't lack Imperial Spirits a thousand times better than this."
Dan Ji said quite generously.
Changqing contentedly put the Blood Filament Spirit into his acupoints, completely filling all of them.
Now, his acupoints contained a Bone Spike Spirit and a Flying Whirlwind Spirit as Lower Grade Yellow Spirits, a Blood Filament Spirit as a Medium Grade Yellow Spirit, a Blood Healing Spirit as a Low-Grade Mysterious Spirit, and a Medium Grade Mysterious Spirit Blood Storage Spirit in his Earth Palace Viscera.
He had already returned the Bubble Spirit to Luo Hongyan. Now, apart from the Flying Whirlwind Spirit, which was an Equipment Spiritual, his other four Imperial Spirits were Blood Law Spirits, making him a true, thorough Blood Arts cultivator with a proper lineage.
The regrettable thing was that his offensive means still only consisted of the Bone Spike Spirit.
The other Imperial Spirits were either for healing or auxiliary effects, which made him, an Evil Path Cultivator, seem out of place.
After taking the Imperial Spirit, Changqing didn't linger much longer. After a simple period of Cultivation in the Blood Pool to consolidate his cultivation, he returned to the Dan Room.
He already had a plan in mind and now needed to confirm if there were any omissions.
Otherwise, it would be easy to make a single oversight, like in his previous life, and miss the fact that Liu Lu had a Blood Demon Spirit.
In fact, he had always been pondering a question.
How exactly could Liu Lu Seal Dan Ji?
If it was truly as Dan Ji herself said, relying only on that strange Imperial Spirit that could Seal others' acupoints, could it really be done?
Clearly not. There was a loophole in Dan Ji's words.
As an Evil Lord, she had lived for so many years and was as cunning as an old fox. It was impossible for her not to have experience fighting Poison Law Cultivators.
According to her, if Poison Law Cultivators were the natural bane of Blood Law Cultivators because they could easily inject poison, then how could she not be wary of Liu Lu's attacks?
So, how did Liu Lu manage to inject poison into Dan Ji's body?
Through deception? Through a sneak attack?
Changqing didn't think so.
Wait, it seems he had overlooked something again.
Why did Dan Ji come to Hundred Flowers Cave?
Although he had no memory of before coming to Hundred Flowers Cave, he learned from the people imprisoned with him in previous lives that they all stumbled into a cave, touched a strange, jagged rock, and then arrived here.
He had asked Luo Hongyan the same question, and Luo Hongyan's explanation was similar. The difference was that those people were all Mortals who had stumbled in, while Luo Hongyan, observing the rock's rich Spiritual Qi, became curious and wanted to study it, only to end up here.
Since even Luo Hongyan could see the extraordinary nature of that strange rock, Dan Ji, as a dignified Evil Lord, wouldn't just inexplicably stumble in without understanding anything, would she?
She most likely came with some purpose.
But what purpose?
Changqing speculated two possibilities.
First, there was some treasure in Hundred Flowers Cave, and for someone like Dan Ji to covet it, it must be extraordinary.
Second, she was forced to enter Hundred Flowers Cave for some reason. As an Evil Path magnate, she must have many enemies, and perhaps she was trying to avoid them.
