Chapter 212: Demon Driving Incantation (1/2)
When Li Jing moved her fiery-red lips and started telling Nie Tian about the Demon Driving Incantation, everyone voluntarily vacated the area, including the disciples from the Grayvale sect and Ghost sect.
Even if they wanted to overhear what was being said, they wouldn’t be able to hear a word since Li Jing had already sound-proofed the area where Nie Tian and she were in.
Slowly and softly, she lectured to Nie Tian about the wonders and secrets of the Demon Driving Incantation.
Nie Tian didn’t say anything and quietly memorized every word that came out of her mouth. Later, when Li Jing explained the cultivation method word by word, he occasionally raised his questions.
Li Jing spent a whole morning elaborating on the Demon Driving Incantation to Nie Tian.
At noon, Li Jing finally finished her lesson and, looking at Nie Tian with her piercing eyes, she said, “You’ll have two days to contemplate the incantation, and in the meantime, you can come to me whenever you run into points where you don’t understand. We’ll set out to the Ghost sect in two days and I’ll need you to awaken the Bone Blood Demon the same way you did. And then, we’ll use it to kill outsider invaders and save the Ghost sect.”
“Alright.” Nie Tian nodded.
“So this is it for today.” She pondered for a moment before the ring on her finger suddenly shone with a bright light. In the next moment, four Soul Restoring Pills appeared in her palm. “I heard that you had outstanding tolerance for the strong medicinal efficacy of the Soul Restoring Pills. Here. You can use them to recover your psychic power.”
She handed over the Soul Restoring Pills as she spoke.
“Thank you.” Without any hesitation, Nie Tian grabbed the pills and swallowed them all at once.
Currently, he had fully restored his spiritual power and his flesh power was also growing back bit by bit as he digested the spirit beast meat. Only his psychic power, which he had consumed a great deal of to learn the first part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation, was still quite low.
As a Profound realm expert, Li Jing easily spotted his problem and thus gifted him four Soul Restoring Pills.
“Don’t overconsume your psychic power again.” Li Jing slightly frowned as if she even saw through the fact that he had overused his psychic power to study the Fragmentary Star Incantation. “Your current priority is to study the Demon Driving Incantation. Only when you master it will you truly master controlling the Bone Blood Demon and be able to display its full strength.
“I’ll answer your questions regarding the Demon Driving Incantation while Yu Tong will see to it that you have whatever else you need.”
With these words, Li Jing turned around and left the square.
Looking blankly at her elegant figure disappearing into the distance, complicated emotions rose in Nie Tian’s heart.
He could still remember that during the Treasure Convention at the Spiritual Treasure sect, the moon had been painted to the color of blood while Li Jing had sat on a floating, scarlet lotus, commanding a gigantic blood monster to tear open the Heaven Burning Earth Flame Formation and slaughter countless disciples of the Spiritual Treasure sect.
He had been chased after by powerful experts from the Blood sect and barely escaped.
Never had he ever imagined that one day this fierce woman would sit down with him and pass on the Blood sect’s secret magics to him.
Li Jing arrived at the area where all the Blood sect disciples were gathered. Her gaze swept through the crowd before it landed on Yu Tong as she said with a plain tone, “You’ll be responsible for delivering food to Nie Tian’s room over the next two days. Grant him whatever he needs. If he asks for anything you can’t get, come and find me.”
Yu Tong answered respectfully, “As you wish, sectmaster.”
“Good.” Li Jing slightly nodded.
Nie Tian spent the following day cultivating in his room.
First of all, he replenished his psychic power with the four Soul Restoring Pills and directed the extra power to the seven fragmentary stars in his soul.
Then, he focused on contemplating the profundity of the Demon Driving Incantation.
It was a secret magic that could allow people to communicate with Blood Demons. There were two ways to accomplish that: one, to establish a connection with blood, or two, to communicate with it via the resonation of their souls.
According to Li Jing, since low-rank Blood Demons didn’t even possess a soul, the spell-caster would have to establish connection with it using blood.
However, high-rank Blood Demons like the Bone Blood Demon usually would possess an incomplete soul, so the spell-caster could communicate with it through the resonation of their blood or souls.
During their attempts to refine the Bone Blood Demon, Shen Xiu had once forcibly infused her own blood into it.
She had even sealed the Bone Blood Demon’s incomplete soul in the Blood Spirit Pearl, nurturing it with her own blood day and night.
If the Bone Blood Demon had been awakened during that time, it would have taken Shen Xiu as its master.
Then, Shen Xiu would have been able to communicate with it and control it via the connection between her blood and the blood she had infused it with, or by resonating with its soul that she had sealed away in the Blood Spirit Pearl.
However, due to Yu Tong’s low cultivation base, when the Bone Blood Demon had been awakened, she had failed to suppress the rebellion of its incomplete soul, which eventually broke free from the constraint of the Blood Spirit Pearl and flew back into its mind.
Therefore, that was when Shen Xiu had lost her last chance at gaining control of the Bone Blood Demon.
