It was a gray round bead the size of a soybean, and at this moment there was a trace of demonic energy lingering on the surface of the gray round bead.
"This is the magic core in the body of a magic cultivator, and its function is similar to that of a demon beast. However, the biggest difference between it and a demon core is that the magic energy in the magic core can be stimulated and consumed artificially, unlike a demon core which can only be used as medicine.
This magic core was given to me by my uncle who saved me after he killed two magic cultivators. My uncle only briefly explained its use.
We just need to activate the demonic energy within it, and it will dissipate outwards, and can even work on the demon's magic weapons.
However, the magic energy in the magic core is limited, so if you use some, it will be less. But it should be enough for this sneak attack."
Li Yan looked at the four surprised people. He knew that they had no idea about the magic core, but he might as well tell them some of the tricks he had researched so that they could understand more about the demons.
Having said that, Li Yan smiled slightly, and spiritual power surged out of his hands. Suddenly, a pure demonic energy emanated from between his two fingers again. In the next moment, as Li Yan withdrew his spiritual power, the demonic energy that had just been emitted also retreated like a tide.
Seeing the situation, Bai Rou and the other three breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Xiaowang and the other two immediately withdrew their spiritual power and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"This is the first time we've heard that the magic core has this function. I'm sorry, Junior Brother Li, you should have explained this matter in advance. It scared us."
Li Yan smiled without comment, but he still had the appearance of "Wu Yuan". The patterns on his face were distorted and looked very hideous when he smiled.
It is better to let them experience some things first. They cannot tell the authenticity of their own transformation, which can enhance their confidence.
"Friend Li, this is the first time I've seen a magic core. I've learned a lot, a lot!" Sun Guoshu said with emotion. Don't underestimate Li Yan's few words, which brought great benefits to several people.
Sun Guoshu did not even participate in the demons' tentative attacks some time ago, and he saw even fewer real demons.
Especially when the demon cultivators are at the critical moment of life and death, they will basically choose to self-destruct their magic core without hesitation. They are extremely ferocious and rarely leave any traces of their past.
In fact, the uses of magic cores are still known by a very small number of foundation-building cultivators in Fengliang Mountain. They occasionally obtained magic cores in battle, and after research, they also knew some of the uses of magic cores.
But most of the cultivators are selfish people. When they find that the magic core can temporarily drive the magic weapon, they want to keep it as a trump card for themselves, and use the magic weapon to survive at the critical moment.
Furthermore, when they purchased magic weapons from some humans who did not know the purpose of magic cores, it was no different from picking them up for free. They were so happy about it that they could not tell others about it.
After hearing what Sun Guoshu said, the other four people nodded one after another. At the same time, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the top leaders of the four major sects. It would be better to speak out such things.
In fact, the top leaders of the four major sects once wanted to briefly introduce and explain these matters in the jade slips they sent out, so that low-level cultivators could know them as common sense. However, after discussion, they felt that it would be more beneficial not to say anything. Demon cultivators are inherently ferocious, and one demon cultivator can often still have a chance of winning against two or three human cultivators of the same level.
If the people below knew the purpose of the magic core, in order to obtain the magic core, the human monks would leave room for their opponents by making invisible moves in battle. They are already inferior to the opponents in strength, and if they hold back, the chances of human monks' death will be even greater.
Moreover, everyone wants to get the magic core, and they may have a certain degree of hostility towards their companions. Such a coordinated battle will definitely do more harm than good.
The last point is that when the demon cultivator sees that he is doomed, he will immediately self-destruct. However, the human cultivator still wants to obtain the opponent's magic core at this time, so he is naturally unwilling to stay away, for fear that he will be preempted by others. The result will bring unpredictable losses.
As for the fact that sooner or later someone will know about this, let them discover it slowly. The selfishness of the monks means that this matter will not be publicized for a certain period of time.
By the time most of the cultivators knew about it, they had already been fighting life-and-death battles with the demonic cultivators for a long time and had learned how to make choices.
It has to be said that these experienced and sophisticated high-ranking people from the four major sects have an extremely accurate understanding of the cultivators’ minds and are able to come up with strategies without any doubts.
Sure enough, Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun immediately showed surprise on their faces. Li Yan was telling them a rather secret matter for free today.
Although they will gradually learn about this matter as the war with the demons continues in the future, now that they know it, if they encounter a demon cultivator again, they will find ways to prevent him from self-destructing his magic core.
Then he could collect some magic weapons from the demon clan at a low price. Although these things could not be used for a long time, the situation would be different if he had a large number of magic cores in his hands.
Even if you have limited magic cores, leaving behind a few extremely powerful magic weapons can help you defeat your enemies by using them unexpectedly in the future. It should have a miraculous effect and may even save your life at a critical moment.
Bai Rou's face was filled with shame, "Junior Brother Bai, I just... I'm sorry!" She thought about how she wanted to attack Li Yan before, and immediately felt embarrassed.
Wu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Now, we can proceed according to the plan. I think you can just hide your true identity and don't need to transform into those foreign monks. It will be easier to be discovered that way. Just pretend to be monks from the South Sea."
After saying that, "Wu Yuan"'s face became blurry and his appearance actually changed. If someone knew the former owner of "Beiling Villa", they would think that the current appearance of Li Yan was 70% similar.
This is also because Li Yan has not seen many demon cultivators. In his memory, the owner of "Beiling Mountain Villa" is the demon cultivator who impressed him the most. He did this for the same reason that he was afraid of running into someone familiar with "Wu Yuan". He just transformed into Wu Yuan to let Bai Rou and the other four who had seen him see if there were any flaws.
After getting affirmation, it is of course better to change to a stranger face.
There are tens of thousands of demon cultivators invading the South China Sea, and there are countless demon cultivators in the foundation-building stage. How can anyone know who? You think I am unfamiliar, but I don’t know you? Li Yan had already made up his mind about these things.
Seeing that what Li Yan said made sense and it was already dark, there was no time to lose, so the four of them used their magic and only made partial adjustments on their faces. This way, it would be more difficult for others to detect the flaws.
Among the four, only Bai Rou's appearance changed a lot after her transformation. At this time, she had turned into a middle-aged woman, wearing a loose dress, with ordinary looks and a thin figure. She did this because her original figure was too eye-catching and she had no choice but to do so.
During this period, Yan Feijun seemed to want to speak several times, but was stopped by Hu Xiaowang with a look.
He and Yan Feijun shared the same fate and came from the same mountain, so they had a good relationship in private. Hu Xiaowang guessed what Yan Feijun wanted to do.
He wanted Li Yan to hand over the magic core so that he could transform into a magic cultivator and lead the team to sneak in.
Yan Feijun's overall purpose was well-intentioned. He was afraid that Li Yan's cultivation was not good enough and would be easily discovered by others.
But at the same time, he had more personal purposes, which was to get the magic core first, make it his own, and take the opportunity to study it.
For this reason, he secretly sent a message to King Hu Xiao, thinking that Li Yan might have two magic cores. If the uncle who saved Li Yan had given him two magic cores, why did he only give him one
Seeing that Yan Feijun was not giving up, King Hu Xiao thought more and immediately stopped him with a stern look. Although Yan Feijun's overall purpose was well-intentioned, once it was brought up, it would most likely anger Li Yan.
Everyone knew that Li Yan's cultivation was lower than theirs, but these geniuses were always very proud in their hearts, so the two of them must not bring bad luck upon themselves.
Now there is finally hope. Everything is in the hands of Uncle Wei. If we accidentally offend his disciple, Li Yan only needs to say a word, and perhaps the promise will change.
King Hu Xiao had always wanted to take the magic core, and he was also secretly complaining about how lucky this "Junior Brother Li" was to meet a senior uncle from Fengliang Mountain during his escape.
However, when Li Yan once again activated the demonic energy in the magic core, Hu Xiaowang and the others carefully sensed it this time, and then looked at him with their spiritual sense. They were surprised to find that they could not find any flaws in Li Yan.
As he sighed, he attributed it all to the strong demonic energy in the demon core. Little did he know that in order to achieve the best condition, Li Yan also performed some "Stealth at Night" to conceal his own aura, which made his spiritual energy "never leaked" at all.
Of course, if seen by a strong man, Li Yan still has the aura of spiritual energy.
At this moment, the people's hearts were at ease. As a result, the chances of successfully completing the mission increased a bit, and their confidence was greatly strengthened.
The five people in the formation quietly sensed the situation outside, and only when the patrol team outside walked away did they quickly withdraw the illusion formation, and then they quietly sneaked out of the mountain.
After leaving the mountain, they sneaked for a distance to the northwest and chose a deserted place. Then they carefully revealed their figures and, under the leadership of Li Yan, began to fly towards "Zhouyang Town" at a low altitude.
At this time, "Zhouyang Town" was bustling with people. From time to time, small groups of monks would fly over from the darkness in the distance, and Li Yan and his group were among them.
Li Yan's team of five was not eye-catching. Some of the teams that came here only had two or three people. They all looked listless and revealed deep fatigue. There were demon cultivators staring at them from behind.
Li Yan and his companions soon arrived at the entrance of "Zhouyang Town". As soon as they landed, several divine senses swept over. There were more than twenty demon cultivators standing there, all of whom were at the foundation-building stage.
One of the demon cultivators who seemed to be the leader glanced at the four people behind Li Yan. When he saw Bai Rou, who looked like a skinny middle-aged woman, he couldn't help but show disappointment in his eyes.
Then he walked up to Li Yan and the other four and said to Li Yan, "Why did only five of you come back?" As far as he knew, a team usually consisted of more than eight people.
The big man Li Yanhuan turned into raised his hand, his face began to become a little embarrassed and unhappy, but under the gaze of the other party, he said reluctantly.
"We encountered a Jindan cultivator from the other side. If it weren't for the appearance of a demon master at the last moment, I'm afraid no one would be able to come back."
Upon hearing this, the demon cultivator's face turned ferocious. "These damn cultivators from the four major sects, relying on their numbers, often have Jindan cultivators appearing and ambushing us everywhere, but they don't have the courage to fight us one-on-one. By the way, was that human Jindan cultivator killed by the demon master?"
At the end of his speech, a very confident expression appeared on his face, and his voice was deliberately raised a bit, so that the demon cultivators who were investigating other teams and the nearby cultivators could hear it and look here sideways.
