41: Full buff

Bang bang!

The door to the private room was knocked.

"Enter."

"Guest, your deep-fried Silver-Tailed Abyss Fish is here."

The door was pushed open, and a young attendant entered the private room, carrying a plate of dishes and wine.

After placing the dishes and wine on the table, the attendant stood by, waiting for Lu Ming's instructions.

Lu Ming tossed a few spirit crystals onto the table and waved his hand, signaling him to withdraw.

Having received the spirit crystals, the attendant happily left the room.

After dismissing the attendant, Lu Ming first placed several Talismans to block Aura in the room.

Then, he set up the brought-in mist formation.

Having done all this, Lu Ming looked at the still-steaming deep-fried Silver-Tailed Abyss Fish on the table and couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

"It smells good, but it's such a waste of good spirit food..."

As Lu Ming spoke, he took out several jade bottles from his Storage Pouch.

Pop!

Opening the cork, a pungent and unpleasant smell immediately filled the room.

Lu Ming glanced with some disdain at a pitch-black Medicinal Pill inside the bottle; this was the spirit poison he had obtained from Yang Hong.

"I've truly sacrificed too much."

He poured out the Medicinal Pill, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it on the Silver-Tailed Abyss Fish, which immediately began to sizzle with corrosive sounds.

Lu Ming's eyelids twitched. If he hadn't tried it before and confirmed that refining the poisonous Medicinal Pill could transfer negative effects, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

"Damn it, I'm going all out!"

He opened the golden book and selected [Ling Feng].

Lu Ming picked up a piece of fried fish and threw it into his mouth, crunching it with a 'ga beng ga beng' sound.

At the same time, he activated the Blood Burning Secret Technique and the Devouring Spirit Blood Demon Art to begin refining.

"Ugh~"

"There's no way there's poop in this, right!"

Even though the negative effects could be transferred, the taste in his mouth still made Lu Ming feel physically uncomfortable.

If he wasn't trying to wear down Ling Feng, a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level, in a short amount of time, he wouldn't be tormenting himself like this.

"It's still not enough!"

Three Yin Nether Fire, burn!

Yin Lotus Mother-Child Twin Birth Method, absorb!

Lu Ming could feel a surge of Soul Power coming from the Void Realm, pouring into his Sea of Consciousness. His main body, along with his Clone, began to slowly increase in Cultivation.

"I'm going to consume your essence, Qi, and spirit simultaneously. Let's see how much combat power you'll have left tonight!"

Lu Ming looked out the window, his gaze profound.

I'm waiting for my skills; you're waiting for death!

...

...

Not far away, in a small courtyard.

Ling Feng was quietly meditating, waiting for nightfall.

He didn't know when Wu Daoren would arrive, and he wasn't in a hurry.

Ling Feng estimated that the opponent was just a Cultivator in the Middle Stage of Qi Refining; otherwise, after so long, he wouldn't have only dealt with two small Cultivators in the Early Stage of Qi Refining.

This mission, in his opinion, was a piece of cake, and after completing this deal, he would be able to obtain that Medicinal Pill.

"These cowardly fellows from the Talisman Cultivator Alliance, always worrying about this and that, how can they achieve anything great?"

Ling Feng scoffed internally.

Suddenly.

Ling Feng, who was Cultivating, first turned red, then his body twitched violently.

A trickle of fresh blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Poison!"

Ling Feng's expression was shocked. When had he been hit?

He quickly took out a bottle of detoxification Medicinal Pills and swallowed a few.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, his expression stiffened again.

His magic power, Soul Power, and vital Qi seemed to be devoured by an unknown entity, and his Aura suddenly weakened.

Ling Feng's expression changed drastically. He circulated his magic power, forcefully suppressing it with his Cultivation at the Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level.

"Something's wrong!"

Having long walked on the edge of a knife, living a life of licking blood from the blade, Ling Feng quickly realized that someone was targeting him.

His face was extremely gloomy. He knew who was behind this without even thinking.

"Wu Daoren!"

He hadn't expected Wu Daoren's methods to be so bizarre!

"The intelligence is wrong. This is a tough opponent. I can't stay here long; I must leave first!"

A gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall. Since Wu Daoren made the first move, he is most likely nearby!

Staying here would only make him a living target. He should temporarily avoid the sharp edge and return to kill him after he has recovered!

Ling Feng's eyes revealed a fierce glint. Wu Daoren's covert attack suggested that his hard power was inferior to his own.

As long as he found his tracks, he would surely kill this person!

However, as soon as he stood up, a feeling of weakness surged through him, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Before he could get up, intense pain began to spread through his body, as if his Soul was being ignited.

Ling Feng was indeed a ruthless person. He endured the intense pain, not letting out a single cry.

His body trembled, and his fingers shakily took out Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch.

His vision blurred in front of him, and he couldn't even clearly see what Medicinal Pills they were. He opened them and poured them into his mouth.

Later, he even directly chewed the jade bottles and swallowed them raw.

Then, he activated a Clear Heart Jade Talisman to suppress the inner turmoil and began to meditate cross-legged.

Since he couldn't leave, he wouldn't. He didn't believe that Wu Daoren's methods could last for long.

As soon as he recovered, he would capture Wu Daoren and slowly torture him, making him suffer a thousand, ten thousand times the pain!

Time slowly passed.

The sun set in the west, and the moon hung high in the sky.

At this time, the sky was dark, and the cold moonlight filtered through the treetops, spilling into the courtyard.

In the quiet courtyard, there was no sound except for the faint chirping of insects.

In the small courtyard, Ling Feng sat cross-legged. His essence, Qi, and spirit had been draining for two hours already, and not only had it not stopped, but it was getting stronger.

"Damn it, how can it be so persistent!"

Ling Feng roared internally, cold sweat already seeping from his forehead. He knew he couldn't last much longer like this.

Just as he was about to swallow Medicinal Pills again.

A dozen feet behind Ling Feng, a cold glint quietly emerged from the darkness, silently shooting towards the center of his back.

Clear Wind Blade.

Ling Feng, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot and filled with ferocity.

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, and a large flame palm instantly shattered the wind blade.

Ling Feng looked up. An old man with a hooked nose was standing in mid-air in the courtyard, he didn't know when he got there.

The old man was stepping on a black leather gourd, watching him with a cold expression.

However, when Ling Feng noticed the old man's Aura, which was only at the Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level, he immediately grinned and said,

"You still dare to show yourself? You're truly seeking death!"

As long as he killed the person in front of him, the strange phenomena on his body would disappear.

However, in the next second, a dense bloody Evil Qi rose from the old man's body.

Crimson blood mist began to spread around the old man, mixed with faint green flames.

Even though Ling Feng had experienced countless large and small battles, he couldn't help but shiver at this moment.

He only felt that the person in front of him was bizarre and sinister.

And...

The Evil Qi on him must have accumulated from killing countless people.

This wasn't a Demonic Cultivator; it was a Devil Head!

However, it wasn't over yet. The old man's Aura began to continuously rise.

It instantly surpassed the Middle Stage of Qi Refining, reaching the Late-Stage Qi Refinement.

And it was still rapidly increasing.

Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level.

Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level.

In the blink of an eye, he was already at the Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level. The two of them were now on the same level.

And this Aura had not stopped.

Crack.

Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level!

Ling Feng's eyes widened. He only felt a chill run down his spine.

Lu Ming chewed the berserk blood pill, feeling the surging power within his body, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

He had all his buffs stacked now; it was time to end the battle.
