Chapter 62: Black Blood Demon Lotus

Qin Yi and Ye Ling stood back to back, unaware of the danger behind them.

But someone knew.

Liu Su relied on his soul power, not his eyes, to perceive things. He could sense every change in his surroundings. Unless obstructed, his soul power was not yet strong enough to penetrate, so there were no blind spots. He coldly observed the entire process of the grass demon's formation from breaking through the soil to its completion.

He hesitated, unsure whether to warn them or let them learn a lesson.

Qin Yi and Ye Ling were joking and talking, and while Liu Su criticized them, he knew that Qin Yi was not letting his guard down. He could clearly sense the flow of Qin Yi's muscles and True Qi, and he knew that despite Qin Yi's laughter, he was always ready to explode into action. He was also very observant of his surroundings.

This was enough. It was good to have a relaxed attitude when facing the enemy. Being too tense meant losing half the battle.

But lack of experience was dangerous. Being vigilant alone couldn't make up for the lack of experience.

For example, at a time like this, can you really be sure there's nothing behind you just because you walked past it?

This kind of thinking is wrong. This is the demon realm, and no one can predict what strange things might happen. You must first set up a formation or place a Law Treasure for protection and warning.

But it seemed that now was not the time to teach them a lesson... If there was any commotion, it would attract the attention of the demons fighting over there...

Liu Su sighed and took the initiative to wield his wolf tooth club, smashing the laughing grass demon into a pulp.

The grass demon didn't even know how the club moved on its own...

This time, Qin Yi quickly realized that something had happened. He turned his head abruptly and saw the demon corpse under the wolf tooth club.

He secretly glanced at Ye Ling, who was still focused on watching the battle, and quietly transmitted a message to Liu Su: "Thank you."

Liu Su coldly said, "I wanted to teach you a lesson, but it's not the right time. Are you still being careless?"

"I wasn't being careless, I just didn't expect this..." Qin Yi embarrassedly said, "Should we set up a defensive formation first?"

Liu Su was very satisfied with his summary and responded with a "Hmm."

Qin Yi took out several formation stones he had scavenged from Donghua Zi and quickly set up a formation. He asked, "Do you think the key here is the black lotus or the peaches?"

"The area where they are fighting is a huge demon refining formation. This time, they are refining not Beast Cores, but the essence of demon blood, which has gathered to form this black blood demon lotus. This lotus has a maximum of nine petals, and the current one has already grown four petals, which is considered a truly valuable item. It can be used as a material for various high-grade Immortal Pills, especially valuable for soul and consciousness. If it were to grow nine petals, it would be even more extraordinary and even many powerful beings would find it useful. However, I don't think the conditions here are suitable for it to grow to five petals."

Liu Su said calmly, and when Qin Yi heard the words "soul and consciousness," he was secretly amazed.

"Don't be greedy for me," Liu Su seemed to guess what he was thinking, "Once desire arises, actions may deviate from the right path. Remember what your goal is."

Qin Yi didn't answer this question and continued to ask, "What about the peaches?"

"The peaches are most likely just a witchcraft that affects their minds, making them unaware of being in the formation and instead fighting over the peaches as if they were some kind of Saint Grade treasure. And if anyone wins and eats the peaches, there is a great possibility that they will become a puppet controlled by the spellcaster."

Qin Yi took a sharp breath.

This was not something an ordinary cultivator could figure out on their own.

He was certain that what Donghua Zi saw was definitely not this scene. The arrangement here had probably evolved several times. This arrangement was obviously more ruthless and had more motives than any plan to bury demon miasma and extract demon cores.

There was a master here, and it was definitely not a ruin!

Qin Yi pondered in his heart. The owner of this place is definitely a cultivator or wizard with some strength. It is not something he can contend with at the moment. Perhaps their actions are already under his watchful eye. It would be suicidal to try to seize the Blood Lotus under these circumstances.

Indeed, he must abandon his greed. After all, this is not his possession. How can he covet something that benefits the soul? Has he read too many novels? Liu Su is much more composed. Even if it is something that would greatly benefit him, he has never shown any desire for it.

Qin Yi felt ashamed. He thought he was calm, but Liu Su always seemed impatient. In terms of mindset, he was tens of thousands of light-years behind Liu Su.

Based on the behavior of the person who set up the stone tablet, as long as they don't disrupt his plans, there shouldn't be any problem staying here. If he really wants the Blood Lotus, he could try to visit him and see if he can exchange it for something.

"Brother, brother..." Ye Ling suddenly whispered, "Did you see that? I saw several monsters, they can use magic!"

Qin Yi temporarily shifted his focus and carefully watched the battle between the group of monsters. He quickly noticed that many of these monsters were capable of using magic.

I'm not referring to Ye Ling's black fire or the wind blades of the eagle monster. Those are innate talents that all monsters possess. However, the high-level Monster Cultivators' cultivation methods and various magic techniques suitable for Monster Cultivators are not something that can be self-created.

Qin Yi saw a two-tailed fox that not only played with wind blades just like the eagle monster, but it was also obvious that it could control the direction of each wind blade. This shouldn't be something that foxes are naturally capable of. Their natural talents should be illusions or enchantments.

Not only could it play with wind blades, but it could also use tornado magic. Several centipedes that approached it were swept up into the air by a tornado, and when they fell, they were already torn apart.

This clearly indicates a systematic inheritance!

However, this fox also died in the melee, pierced through the heart and lungs by a strange light emitted by a three-eyed wolf monster.

"What a pity. The fox in the world of immortals..." Qin Yi lamented.

"That was a male fox," Ye Ling said.

"You actually know what I was thinking?"

"I've heard Brother's 'Journey to the West.' In it, there are three foxes: the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Jade-Faced Fox, and the White-Faced Fox. They are all female. Actually, I've always wanted to ask, are there only female foxes in Brother's eyes?"

Blame it on "Journey to the West"... Basically, when modern people hear about fox spirits, their first reaction is that they are female. "Fox spirit" has become a specific term... Actually, Qin Yi has also seen a handsome male fox named Cangma, but it doesn't affect the deeply ingrained gender judgment of fox spirits.

"It's fine if the male one dies." Qin Yi couldn't explain, so he changed the topic, "There are many magic techniques here. I think you should be able to find the Monster Cultivator system here."

Ye Ling nodded his little head, "I have to figure it out on my own. Don't talk about magic techniques, I don't even have a clue about cultivation."

You're so young and yet you've already become so strong without any clue about cultivation... Qin Yi looked at the river of blood flowing from the fierce battle and suddenly felt like he might have missed something important...

This strange formation specifically targeting monsters, from extracting marrow and pill to killing and taking blood, the owner of this place must really hate monsters.

Wait a minute...

Ye Ling is a monster!

Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat. Carefully sticking his head out from the side of the rock, he examined the ground in front of him.

Faintly, there were formations on the ground, resembling the meridians of a human body, slowly overflowing towards the direction of the rock. The speed was neither fast nor slow, and it was about to cover them in a few feet.

This refining formation really does spread!

It turns out that he not only needs to be vigilant behind him, but he also can't miss the ground that is blocked by the rock in front of him! Qin Yi learned a valuable lesson and had no time to think about anything else. He quickly grabbed the bewildered Ye Ling and turned to run.

Several of the battling monsters seemed to have sensed something and turned their heads to see the two figures, their eyes filled with hostility.
