Demon's Diary Chapter 40 – Strange Changes

Chapter 40 – Strange Changes

When Liu Ming returned to the big hall feeling gloomy, the lady dressed in green was still busy reading the manuscript in her hand. She did not even lift her head when Liu Ming returned.

Liu Ming looked at the lady deeply and left the pavilion.

This ti, even though he gained nothing and even lost the spirit stones that he had, at least he felt a lot more relieved because the Spirit Master that was experienced in the art of curses said that there was nothing wrong with him.

Maybe the cold sensation he felt in the sole of his feet before was just a delusion.

Right now, he could only comfort himself with such thoughts.

Liu Ming once again used the Soaring Sky Technique to rise up and fly away. Flying directly to his courtyard and going back into his training room.

After Liu Ming had sat crossed-legged, he examined his internal body again. When nothing out of place was found, Liu Ming stopped worrying. He then took out the small half-full box of blood and flesh from the monster and scrutinized it.

To find out about the use of these fragnts, Liu Ming planned to go to the Spirit Spell Pavilion on the Nine Infant Mountain to check so manuscripts. After doing so, he would decide on what to do with the remains.

Liu Ming had just finished a Contribution Points mission and was not planning to take another mission for a while. He planned to strengthen himself first before accepting so easy missions which he could complete by himself.

After all, even though Liu Ming’s trip had awarded him with so Contribution Points, he had nearly lost his life between the jaws of the monster rat. This gave him the urge to raise his power first.

Moreover, on this trip he offended a Middle Spirit Apostle by the na of Ou Yang Xin. It would be better for him to avoid any exposure for a while.

The best way to strengthen himself in a short period of ti would be by mastering the Three Star Shield that he had just gained. Afterwards, he had to get his other spells to the point of Initial Spell Mastering.

When Liu Ming made his decision, he put away the wooden box which housed the bone and flesh of the monster rat. He then placed the triangular steel plate in the palm of his hand and cald his heart and mind. After that he slowly started cultivating.

…..

After two days, Liu Ming was returning after a trip to the Spirit Spell Pavilion with an thick and ancient manuscript. From ti to ti, great surprise lit up on his face as he was reading the it.

He completely lost track of ti as he was reading. When he finally closed the ancient manuscript, his face showed intense excitent.

According to the ancient manuscript, even the body of low tier monsters were treasures.

By eating the at of monsters, one’s cultivation strength and Fa Li could increase. If soone ate pills that were made from the body of monsters, the effects would be even better. Eating pills would also prevent a person from so of the negative effects caused by the at of monsters.

However, the negative effects would only manifest in people who consu the at of monsters long-term. Eating the at of monsters once in awhile would not bring any harm to the consur.

The furs, skins, bones and internal organs of monsters were the best material for weapon crafting.

The lady nad Ye Tian i was at least a Spirit Master. Therefore, a monster that was pursued by her could not have been a monster of a low level.

Liu Ming’s face flashed with different emotions. Suddenly, he raised his hand and took out the wooden box that housed the Rat Monster’s flesh and bones.

After Liu Ming opened the lid, he found himself a pair of bamboo chopsticks. He did not mind the sll of blood and started to fiddle with the at of the huge rat bit by bit. He was carefully separating the bloody flesh from the furs and bones of the huge rat.

After a good deal of sweat and effort, Liu Ming had successfully separated the at residue from a big piece of the huge rat’s skin and three smaller pieces of rat skins. On the skins of the rat were twenty strain of silver-green fur. Besides the fur, there were also thirteen pieces of bone residue of various sizes.

Liu Ming then took out another small box and place the furs and the bones residues of the huge rat into the box. Looking at the bloody at of the huge rat left in the first wooden box, he hesitated. Liu Ming gritted his teeth and picked up a small piece of rat at using two of his fingers.

Using one handed signs, pure water poured down and washed away the dirt on the rat at.

With a change of hand signs, fire ca out from between his two fingers and burned the rat at within seconds. Pleasant slls of at started to diffuse out.

Liu Ming slightly moved his wrist, threw the half-cooked rat at directly into his mouth and started chewing it.

The next mont, Liu Ming suddenly winced his eyes.

This rat at was surprisingly good. There was an indescribable freshness and juicyness in every bite. When Liu Ming swallowed the at, the at changed into balls of heat and was stored in the Spirit Sea within Liu Ming’s dantian.

Liu Ming only needed to slightly push his Spirit Sea in order to convert the pure Yuan Li energy into his own Fa Li.

Due to excitent, Liu Ming lost interests in enjoying the freshness of the at. He swallowed all the rat at in his mouth with just a few bites. Then, he started his concentrating on his cultivations.

The next ti when he opened his eyes, the day had already mostly co and gone.

When Liu Ming checked the growth of his Fa Li, he was surprised to find that his Fa Li had increased at a rate that was comparable to the increase in Fa Li he would get with half a month of cultivation.

Liu Ming paused for a long ti. Then, he turned his head to look at the large amount of huge rat at still left beside him. He could not control himself anymore and burst into laughter.

The at of the rat monster did not give Liu Ming the feeling of fullness and was also extrely helpful in enhancing one’s Fa Li.

This ant with just two small pieces of ats every single day, he could achieve the second level of the Dark Bone thod and easily beco a Middle Spirit Apostle.

As Liu Ming stopped laughing, he started to ponder and was swayed by considerations of gain and lost.

If just eating these few pieces of monsters’ ats was all that was required to advance to the next level, there was no reason for the Spirit Apostle disciples to train so hard. There had to be more to it.

Liu Ming looked at the rat at in the wooden block beside him and started to feel doubtful.

Liu Ming did not know that even though normal monsters also had to power to enhance Fa Li, their effects were not that superb.

Monsters which were at the peak of Liquid Level were hard for even Spirit Masters to encounter and kill, let alone Spirit Apostle disciples.

After all in all of Da Xuan Country, there were extrely few monsters in the Liquid Level and there probably was not another monster at the peak of Liquid Level.

Monsters at this level had already infused every part of its body with its Fa Li. When its at was consud by a Beginning Spirit Apostle, the effects were definitely going to be unbelievable

If an Late Spirit Apostle consud the at, the effects would have much less of a surprise.

As for a Spirit Master, the effects of consuming of such a small piece of the rat’s at was equal to the effects of having a bowl of high quality Spirit Rice.

As for Ye Tian i and the grey robed elder of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, the effects of eating this at did not bring much effects to them as their levels were already too high.

With just a little training a day, their Fa Li would increase much more than the Fa Li that would co from eating the ats of these monsters.

Liu Ming thought for quite a while in the sa spot but he did not make any conclusion; however, he did make a guess that the effect was because of the level of the huge rate creature being much higher that much than his level.

By just consuming the at of this rat, Liu Ming’s Fa Li had increased by an incredible amount. If he handed the at over to Alchemists and asked them to make it into pills, the effects should be even more trendous.

Liu Ming could not refrain himself to think that way, because according to the ancient manuscript, eating the ats of monsters could bring harm. This gave Liu Ming a doubtful feeling.

But then, if the news of him getting the at of monster was spread out, his Sect would not leave him, a Three Spiritual Pulse Disciple, any at at all. In addition, if this news were to spread to people with bad intentions, sothing bad might even happen.

To stop the worst from happening, Liu Ming could only ignore the negative effects.

Although according to the manuscript, eating the at of the monsters may bring side effects, the details of what those were was not in any way clear enough. However, it was fine as there was only a half box’s worth of rat at. This amount of rat at could be consud in a short ti and would not bring any harm to Liu Ming, who would not be consuming the at for a long-term.

Liu Ming was a very resolute person, and he hesitated a few tis before he finally made his choice.

Liu Ming did not waste anymore ti and lifted up his hand to pick up another small piece of rat at from the wooden box. Then, he started to wash and barbeque it….

Twenty days later. Liu Ming was doing cultivating and sat cross-legged on the floor.

As he was inhaling and exhaling, many foot-long strands of dark gas were writhing around Liu Ming like a living entity. This scene appeared to be supernatural.

Ti passed unknowingly for Liu Ming. As he opened his eyes, the dark gas was quickly absorbed into him.

As Liu Ming once again cald himself and examined his training progress, he grinned.

The training over the last twenty days was unexpectedly smooth. Liu Ming’s Fa Li had grown a few tis stronger than before and he was not far from mastering the second stage of Dark Bone thod. With just three or four more days, he could enter the Middle Spirit Apostle level.

This kind of insane training speed made him feel that the last twenty days were just a dream and everything was an illusion.

Thankfully, things were true and the daily increase of his Fa Li was still there. His Spirit Sea had grown a lot stronger, if not for this Liu Ming would be sure that he was dreaming.

Liu Ming shook his head and looked at the wooden box beside him. His face showed sorrow.

The box was half filled with bloody at at first but now, only a little was left. It seed that in just a few days, Liu Ming would have finished eating the at.

Liu Ming was still thinking as he lifted up his hand and stretched towards the wooden box to grab a piece of at.

At this mont, LIu Ming’s face suddenly changed. He stopped and his eyes showed a glint of fear.

“This is impossible, how could sothing like this happened!”

Liu Ming cried and imdiately positioned himself by sitting cross-legged. Then, he started cultivating.

Strands of dark smoke re-appeared out of Liu Ming’s body and withered crazily….

After the ti it took to eat a al, Liu Ming was still sitting cross-legged. However, his back was drenched in sweat. In addition, the black smoke surrounding him had visibly beca much smaller.

Two hours had gone by and the dark gas revolving around Liu Ming’s body beca much thinner. His cultivation level had got back to what it was twenty days ago when he started to eat the rat’s at.

After a long exhalation, Liu Ming opened his eyes.

This ti, he looked really unhappy.

The Spirit Sea in his body which had already grew bigger returned to its original size. The Fa Li which surged like the torrential tide in his body had now reduced to a level that was even lower than the Fa Li he had before eating any of the rat’s at.
