After entering the air, this wisp of black smoke will quickly merge into the spiritual energy and disappear into nothingness.
At that time, the demon cultivator was very close to these spiritual plants and did not pay attention, so he inhaled a wisp of black smoke mixed in the air.
When he found it, he thought it was a poisonous weed left in the ruins. He was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly moved away, held his breath and looked inward for a while, but found that there was nothing wrong with his body, and he felt relieved.
But then, he suddenly felt a comfortable feeling in his body, and it turned out to be caused by the black smoke.
After making this discovery, the demon cultivator was not excited, but became even more cautious.
Many spiritual plants between heaven and earth have developed means to protect themselves and attack prey.
In his mind, the black smoke was most likely the latter. It was some toxin that caused hallucinations, making you sink unknowingly and finally die unconsciously.
After some thought, he decided to pick these spiritual plants and take them back.
Because after inhaling those wisps of black smoke, he had been standing in the distance thinking for a long time. Not only did his body not feel any discomfort, but he even felt that the spiritual power in his body was somewhat active.
So, out of curiosity, this demon cultivator finally carefully brought these spiritual plants back to his clan.
He also separated out a small area in the spiritual plant garden in his backyard and sealed them inside with a formation.
After thinking about it, the magic cultivator went out and found several different kinds of first-level magical beasts. He pasted a piece of suppressing talisman paper on their foreheads and threw them in.
He wanted to see whether these monsters would die from constantly inhaling the black smoke when they were unable to resist.
After doing all this, the magic cultivator observed for two consecutive days. He found that although these monsters could not move, the gleam in their eyes seemed to gradually brighten.
Just when he wanted to continue observing, he received a task from within the tribe and had to go out to carry it out.
When he returned after completing his mission, it was three months later.
After this demon cultivator came back, he had a lot of trivial things to do, and for a while he actually forgot about this matter until another half a month passed.
When he went to the spiritual plant garden in the backyard to water the spiritual plants and saw the formation, he remembered the matter of those unknown spiritual plants.
So, when he opened the formation, the scene inside shocked him so much that he stood there in shock.
The aura of several different kinds of monsters inside was surging at this moment, and their bodies were more than two times thicker than before.
The fur on their bodies was shiny and reflective, and the muscles were curled up under the fur. He almost didn't recognize two of the herbivorous animals, a gazelle rabbit and a lurker cat.
There were bulging muscles on their bodies, which were constantly beating, like two mutated small ferocious beasts, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Although these monsters were still suppressed and sealed by the talisman and unable to move, they were already showing signs of about to break through the talisman.
Two of the monsters actually did not starve to death in less than four months, just by lying there, but instead broke through to the second-level monster realm.
The moment they saw the demon cultivator, red light flashed in the eyes of several of the monsters, and it seemed as if they were about to suddenly attack and hurt people.
The demon cultivator was horrified, and hurriedly took out a dozen pieces of talisman paper, and slapped them on the foreheads of several monsters in a row to suppress their souls again.
He then sealed the formation again, brought several monsters back to the training room, and began to study them one by one.
Sure enough, when he casually removed a talisman, the monster immediately attacked him. However, he was at the Jindan stage and was not afraid of it at all.
After feeling the attacks of several monsters one by one, he came to a clear conclusion that their strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to three months ago.
Even the few monsters that have not advanced to the second level have seen their attack power increase exponentially, becoming extremely ferocious.
They just seemed to have lost their minds, crazy and bloodthirsty, and the violence in their eyes was frightening.
Moreover, the strength of the physical body is greatly improved. At the same level, it is comparable to some monks who specialize in practicing body refining techniques.
This made the demon cultivator horrified, but he was also secretly glad that he did not inhale the black smoke easily again, otherwise he would have become like this.
They are puppets that begin to lose their minds and only know how to kill.
At this time, he knew that those spiritual plants were dangerous creatures, and the black smoke was a poison that could penetrate into his sea of consciousness. So the comfortable feeling he had after inhaling it was a deadly illusion.
However, the effect of the black smoke produced by these spiritual plants is unprecedented. It can actually make the strength of several monsters increase so dramatically in such a short period of time, which makes people feel incredible.
So, he sealed the monsters one by one again, and then probed into their bodies with his spiritual sense to investigate slowly.
The spiritual power in each monster's body is chaotic and violent, and almost out of control, but it is precisely these violent forces that make the monsters attack so fiercely.
Then the demon cultivator fell into a long period of contemplation. To be honest, these spiritual plants are really worth studying.
If the black smoke could be extracted and the impurities removed, and after it was purified, combined with other materials, it should be possible to refine an extremely effective elixir to assist in cultivation.
Up to this point, he had not even thought of inhaling the black smoke to refine it. Just looking at the monsters just now, he knew what would happen.
When he woke up from his meditation, more than two hours had passed. He finally decided to collect some black smoke emitted by the spiritual plants and purify it first.
But when he stood up, he unexpectedly discovered that the magical beasts that he had re-sealed were staring at him with clear eyes and uneasy expressions.
This scene made the demon cultivator dazed for a moment, not knowing what was going on.
After several breaths had passed, he finally came to his senses, and immediately a thought came to his mind.
Then, he immediately stepped forward and checked each of the monsters again in surprise, and then a more shocking scene happened. The violent power in the bodies of several monsters had disappeared without a trace, and the spiritual power was flowing smoothly through the seven tendons and eight meridians, but the spiritual power did not seem to be pure.
"In two or three hours, they actually eliminated the toxins on their own?"
The demon cultivator could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes. After calming down the surprise and excitement in his heart, he used his spiritual sense to carefully observe every inch of the bodies of several monsters again.
In the end, it was discovered that the violent spiritual power in their bodies had been basically eliminated, except for some black stuff mixed in, but not much.
The first thing he thought of was the black smoke, and he quickly sent his spiritual sense to the magic cores of several monsters. After he had finished detecting the monsters, he stood there in a daze.
He had received too many surprises today.
Because he found some black gas in each magic core. The magic core originally contained the purest part after the spiritual power was transported from the Dantian and absorbed.
That is their "magic power".
This is the life-saving method used by demons and monsters at the most critical moment. It can be said to be the last all-out attack.
But at this moment, the spiritual power there had long been empty, leaving only a few wisps of black air.
These black gases swirled continuously in the center of the magic core. When spiritual power circulated through the tendons and veins of the whole body, a wisp of black gas would take away the almost undetectable traces of essence and blood in the body of the magic beast.
Mix it in, follow it through a cycle, and then it will be absorbed into the magic core.
However, the spiritual power that wanted to enter the magic core at this time was blocked outside and could not enter again. The black air seemed to have a repulsive force.
After feeling the powerful force coming from the magic core mixed with a trace of essence and blood, it took a long time for the magic cultivator to wake up. Then, he laughed towards the sky.
He felt that he had discovered an important shortcut to becoming an immortal, a secret method that could make him quickly powerful.
Those unknown spiritual plants should have the effect of strengthening the magic core, causing the "magic source power" originally composed of pure spiritual power to mutate.
The reason why the demonic energy inside is so powerful is that it is slowly integrated with one's own essence and blood, and the essence and blood taken away in each circulation will not cause too much impact on itself.
This is a path that will allow him to quickly become powerful.
Although the black smoke will affect the mind, as long as you don't inhale it all the time and you can research a method to refine it, it shouldn't have too much of an impact.
By then, wouldn't it be possible for me to be like these monsters, with my strength constantly improving every day
Of course, all of this was just his guess, and the demon cultivator could not confirm it yet, but this had opened up a shortcut for him to cultivate immortality directly to the top of the mountain.
Next, of course, he would have to experiment with more monsters before he could finally practice on his own.
A month later, a demon cultivator at the peak of the early Golden Core stage from this branch of the demon clan disappeared, along with all the spiritual plants in his backyard.
It was not until some time had passed that someone noticed that this demon cultivator had not completed the task assigned to him by the clan on time.
When people went to urge them to leave, they found that the building was empty. Although it attracted some people's attention at the time, it was eventually forgotten.
After all, that person is only at the peak of the early Golden Core stage. Even if he wants to advance to the middle stage, he still needs a lot of luck.
What's more, this demon cultivator is usually low-key and taciturn, and not many people interact with him.
Half a month later, this matter was gradually forgotten, and many people believed that he had defected to other branches of the demon clan.
After all, this person is too respected here, and the cultivation resources he can obtain are limited.
Although losing a Jindan cultivator is a big loss for any branch, he has not violated any clan rules. You can't offer a bounty to hunt him down.
As time flies by, many people have even forgotten this person's name.
It was not until forty years later that a demon cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage appeared out of nowhere. His appearance was quite abrupt.
This person's origins are unknown, as if he emerged from the ground overnight.
Whenever a cultivator forms an infant, there will be strong strange phenomena in heaven and earth, which is necessary to fight against the heavenly calamity.
However, it is very difficult to give birth to any Nascent Soul cultivator, and there has been no sign of heavenly tribulation in the Lost Continent for nearly a hundred years.
Many people speculated that he was a demon cultivator who had been promoted a long time ago, but was only willing to show up recently.
At that time, the Lost Continent was still very closed, with only the demons and a very small number of other native races existing.
But what was even more terrifying was that as soon as this Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator appeared, he began to challenge cultivators of the same level everywhere, and his legend began from then on.
With his cultivation level at the early stage of Nascent Soul, he challenged almost all Nascent Soul cultivators on the Lost Continent in just two years, except for some old monsters who had been living in seclusion for many years and were not found by him.
His battle record was brilliant and impressive. Except for the time when he was almost killed by three late Nascent Soul cultivators, the other seventeen early and middle stage demon generals were no match for him.
Moreover, he was ruthless and decisive in his attacks. He would either beat his opponent to the point where only his Nascent Soul was left and he could teleport away, or he would directly kill those at the same level.
Since then, this man's reputation has spread throughout the entire Lost Continent, making many sects shudder at the mention of him, but fortunately he only challenges sects or families with Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, many people say that he is not a real demon, but may be an alien race that is somewhat similar to demons.
Because this person's skin is as black as iron, which is the other extreme compared to the fair and flawless skin of the demons.
However, some Nascent Souls also spread the rumor that this person was none other than a demon, and that his aura and magic were all from the Black Demon Clan.
