Demon realm.
"My Lord, the Hollow Insect disappeared for no reason. I heard that the three major sects of the human race are now secretly trying to find out who did it."
The old man bowed and stood in front of Yunwu, bowing his head and speaking respectfully.
The voice coming out of the mist said without any emotion or anger: "Do you suspect that I sent the Beast King to do this?"
"I don't dare," the old man said in fear, his head lowered by three points, "I just want to share my master's worries."
The beast god ignored it and asked, "How did they find out?"
"It has been determined that it was not the work of a few supreme-level casual cultivators from the human race."
The old man replied, and waited for a few breaths before hearing the other party's words:
"The cultivation of the hollow worm has failed and it has no use value. It doesn't matter who takes it."
"Yes Yes."
The old man responded repeatedly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then hesitation on his face.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to express his doubts:
"Since you didn't send the Beast King to retrieve it, and the three major sects couldn't find the results, is it possible that there is still a powerful person in the human race who is hiding from the world?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden killing sound between heaven and earth.
The old man's face changed slightly. However, before he could apologize, the invisible pressure surrounding his body quickly dissipated.
He tentatively called "Your Majesty," but after receiving no response for a long time, the old man raised his head tremblingly. There was no sign of clouds in front of him.
…
In the pavilion, the game of chess between Yinshan and Yanlan has not yet been completed. There are fewer blacks and more whites on the board, and the situation is one-sided.
The two of them were looking sideways at the two figures outside. The figure in the front has most of its skin covered with thick reddish-brown hair, and its cheeks and temples are also covered with hair. Its cheekbones are protruding and its mouth is buckled. It has an animal-like appearance, but its eyes are extremely agile, more powerful than those of humans. Wisdom and spirituality.
"After what Fellow Daoist Yan said last time, Master Ying and I led the people under us to study day and night, and finally adjusted some of the ways of spiritual energy circulation. I will ask the king to take a look today."
This demon, who was clearly in the realm of the Beast King, bowed his hands to Yin Shan, casually yet respectfully. The middle-aged woman behind him bent down and saluted.
The woman is a real human being, with a cultivation level that is only as high as becoming a god. However, she did not show any timidity in the presence of the two beast emperors. She looked at her nose and nose, looking at her heart, as if she was not interested in external affairs.
After receiving Yinshan's promise, the demon waved his hand and pulled out a silver-leafed tamarin from nowhere. He also took out a stone platform that was half a person's height and placed the silver-leafed tamarin on the platform.
The silver-leafed tamarin is petite in size and its eyes move around, showing alertness and intelligence. As soon as it was put down, it quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Yinshan, and then bowed to Yanlan repeatedly.
The big demon patted its head and said, "Do as I taught you before."
The silver-leafed tamarin nodded hurriedly, sat upright and closed his eyes.
Yinshan released his spiritual consciousness to cover the silver-leafed tamarin, while Yanlan raised her left hand, hooked her fingertips on the blindfolded white brocade, and pulled it down gently.
The brocade was loosened and fell into the palm of the hand, and the side next to the skin emitted strong spiritual energy fluctuations. This object turned out to be a high-level magic weapon mainly used as a concealment partition.
The exposed eyes let people know the significance of the existence of this magical weapon.
Under the eyelashes as long as fan feathers, there is a pair of strange eyes that are completely dark, without even the whites of the eyes.
Without the barrier of the tapestry, the sight from the strange eyes was sharp and dangerous, as if it contained some kind of energy and became extremely penetrating.
His eyes passed over the big demon inadvertently. The big demon suddenly felt that his entire body was exposed inside and out. The blood flow, the demon power was running, the organs were ups and downs, the pupils were constricted, and all the changes and movements in the body were invisible. It is more detailed, more direct, and more difficult to conceal than the exploration of spiritual consciousness, making it impossible to ignore.
Although the other party was unintentional, there was no malice in his eyes, and it was not his first experience, the feeling of being seen through still made the big demon feel offended. He frowned and instinctively tensed up his muscles to activate his demonic power to take a defensive posture. After regaining consciousness, he let down his guard and breathed a sigh of relief.
The penetrating gaze fell on the silver-leaf tamarin. The silver-leaf tamarin trembled all over. It took a long time to gradually adapt, and then began to absorb the spiritual energy.
Unlike the human race, the demon clan does not need to refine spiritual energy into spiritual power before practicing. Once the spiritual energy enters the animal's body, it is naturally absorbed by the animal's body and used for its own use, just like the nutrients in food. Therefore, few monsters would deliberately control the spiritual energy entering their bodies.
However, that's exactly what the silver-leafed tamarins are doing right now.
The incorporated aura is deliberately controlled by it to enter a blood vessel and move forward with the flow of blood.
There are countless large and small blood vessels in its body. The spiritual energy travels through the extremely complicated blood-colored road according to a certain route, until it reaches the end of a small blood vessel, and then returns, traveling against the current, forming a complete closed loop.
All the spiritual energy circulates in the blood vessels along the route. During the circulation, the spiritual energy is constantly blending with the blood flowing through it, being absorbed by it, and at the same time, the newly incorporated spiritual energy is replenished.
When the first cycle is completed, the blood flow rate throughout the silver-leafed tamarin's body has accelerated, and its vitality has become stronger. This change is extremely subtle, but it cannot escape the Beast King's consciousness, let alone the strange eyes.
Controlling spiritual energy in this way consumes a lot of energy. The silver-leafed tamarin persisted for more than ten cycles before having to terminate it. He opened his eyes and looked at the big demon anxiously.
Yinshan stood up, walked to the stone platform, stroked the silver-leafed tamarin's head with his long and generous palm, and said warmly: "Well done."
Upon receiving her approval, the silver-leafed tamarin's eyes suddenly lit up and he was very excited.
She turned back to Yan Lan and asked, "How is it?"
Yan Lan had already covered her eyes with the brocade again. When she heard this, a slight smile appeared on her lips and she responded: "I think it's time to proceed to the next stage."
Yinshan nodded, turned to the big demon and the middle-aged woman and said, "I will continue to work hard for you."
The big demon laughed loudly and said cheerfully: "I am very happy with it! When we complete the technique, I want to see how far my demon clan can go!"
The middle-aged woman frowned and said, "It's still early, and this progress can only be considered one ten thousandth of the way completed."
The big demon stopped laughing, glanced at the woman gloomily, and complained: "Master Ying, can you make me happy for a little longer?"
The woman ignored him.
The big demon scratched his head and asked Xiang Yinshan: "Your Majesty, how are they doing with their research on wisdom-enlightening things?"
Yin Shan: "I had previously decided to start with the method of elixirs, but now I have some ideas."
The big demon is happy again.
After the big demon and the woman left, Yin Shan returned to his seat and Yan Lan smiled and said:
"The Beast Emperor Yuan Du was dissatisfied with you in every possible way when he was defeated, but now he is loyal and dedicated to the best of his ability."
"What he is loyal to is not me, but his wishes and ideals."
"But only you can help him achieve those."
"Yeah. Where did you go down just now?"
While talking, Yinshan picked up a black stone and looked at the chessboard when Yan Lan stood up and made a move to collect the chess equipment.
Yinshan was stunned.
"No more?"
"No more," Yan Lan sighed, no dignity in his words, and made no secret of his disdain for Yin Shan, "The stinky chess player has not made any progress."
"Gene Era"
"..."
Just as Yan Lan picked up the chess pot and was about to collect the pieces, a wisp of cloud suddenly appeared out of thin air two steps away.
Her movements froze and she subconsciously looked at Yin Shan.
Yinshan's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "You should step back first."
"...Yes," Yan Lan lowered her head and stopped looking at the wisp of clouds, "I'm resigning."
After Yan Lan's figure completely disappeared from sight, Yin Shan turned his attention to Yun Wu.
"What's up?"
The slightly suppressed voice of the beast god sounded in the clouds and mist:
"Did Li Chengkong do anything from the time he left Taichu Temple to the time he died?"
