Demon’s Diary

Chapter 1210: Pan Voodoo Codex

“Really?” Hearing Qian Rupin’s words, Liu Ming raised his eyebrows.

“This teleportation array still has a few places where the spirit patterns are blurred. After I go back and study it, I should be able to repair it a little bit. I can maybe shorten its next operation.” Qian Rupin continued.

Liu Ming was a little surprised.

It seems that he still underestimated Qian Rupin’s array skills. She could even repair the ancient teleportation array.

Siren King also glanced at Qian Rupin with surprise, but he looked away the next moment.

Now that his cultivation base had been greatly damaged and Liu Ming had set up an enchantment inside him, he was naturally too lazy to think about things that have nothing to do with him.

“Great, I’ll leave this matter to you. Just tell me if you need any materials.” Liu Ming nodded slightly.

In the following time, Qian Rupin spent more than an hour carefully checking the teleportation array and copied the patterns on the jade slip.

This teleportation array was the only clue to get back to the Middle Sky Continent. In order to prevent it from being destroyed by the evil beast or discovered by others, Liu Ming then spent another day, with the help of Qian Rupin, to set 8 enchantment arrays to completely seal off the entire cave inside and out. Then, he left at ease.

Half a day later, they flew out from the abandoned mineral vein.

“Okay, you and I will part away now. I hope you won’t let me catch any reason to kill you in the future.” Liu Ming said to Siren King flatly.

Siren King nodded silently, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

Once upon a time, in his eyes, Liu Ming was just an ant-like existence that could be easily killed, but now their positions had been completely reversed. Liu ming had become an existence that he must look up to.

Liu Ming didn’t look at Siren King anymore and wanted to fly away with Qian Rupin.

“Mr. Liu, please wait a moment.” Siren King suddenly stopped Liu Ming.

Liu Ming stopped and turned around.

“The female cultivator who was transported to Middle Sky Continent with you back then… is she alright now?” Siren King hesitated for a moment, then he asked with complicated eyes.

“You mean Jia Lan? She’s fine now. She has joined the Taiqing Sect, and she is about to enter the Real Pellet State.” Liu Ming’s eyes moved slightly.

Jia Lan had already recovered most of her memories over the years. Liu Ming had also learned from her about what Siren King did back then.

As for the other soul in Jia Lan’s body, although it couldn’t be completely expelled, it had been sealed by her master. However, he naturally didn’t intend to tell Siren King about it.

“I see. Thank you for telling me, Mr. Liu.” Siren King heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He cupped his fist and bowed to Liu Ming.

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Ming’s eyes, then he nodded slightly. He and Qian Rupin turned into a black light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Siren King looked at the direction where Liu Ming disappeared with a complicated expression. After a while, he turned and flew in a certain direction.

3 days later, Liu Ming and Qian Rupin returned to the Savage Ghost Sect’s Mountain Nine Infant.

Liu Ming originally planned to send Qian Rupin back to Tianyue Sect, but Qian Rupin wanted to follow him. She sent a letter to Senior Nun Leng Yue with a flying sword to explain the reason.

Liu Ming had no choice but to bring her here. He let the nun surnamed Zhong arrange a cave house near his small courtyard for Qian Rupin to live in.

Qian Rupin excitedly plunged into the secret room of the cave house, and she impatiently began to study the ancient teleportation array.

In the following time, Liu Ming and the nun surnamed Zhong chatted for a while in the peak hall. He learned that the Nine Infant Faction did not suffer much loss due to the deliberate arrangement of the old man surnamed Yan in this battle.

Zhong Wendao had been in seclusion for the past few days. Under the summon, he quit the seclusion to visit Liu Ming.

Immediately, in front of the nun surnamed Zhong, Liu Ming taught him how to train Hell Bone Secret. His physique was indeed quite suitable for Hell Bone Secret. In a short period of time, it had already achieved considerable results.

“Very good, it seems that it won’t take long for your Hell Bone Secret to reach level 4.” Liu Ming said approvingly.

“It’s all thanks to the help of the elixirs bestowed by master so that disciple can make rapid progress.” Zhong Wendao said respectfully.

Liu Ming nodded slowly. This calm temperament was somewhat similar to his.

“Okay, you go to practice first. If you can advance to the Crystallization Period within a hundred years, I will accept you as a direct disciple.” Liu Ming said lightly.

“Yes. Thank you, master. Disciple will definitely work harder.” Zhong Wendao was overjoyed upon hearing this. He Hastily knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Liu Ming.

Seeing this, the nun surnamed Zhong on the side also showed a look of relief.

They chatted for a while, and the nun surnamed Zhong took her leave.

After 10 minutes, Liu Ming returned to the small courtyard on the mountainside. He went straight into the secret room and took out a blue bracelet, which was Siren King’s storage bracelet.

He was in a hurry all the way, so he hadn’t had time to carefully examine the contents inside.

As his Divine Thought entered the storage bracelet, a pile of items emerged on the ground.

Most of them were cultivation resources such as spiritual materials, spiritual flowers, ores, spirit stones, and spiritual weapons. These things were of no use to Liu Ming.

The only thing Liu Ming that caught his eyes was a shiny black iron ruler, 2 black crystals the size of eggs and a gray jade slip.

The black iron ruler was covered with pea-sized golden spots. It was a real magic weapon, exuding a terrifying aura. It should be Iron Beastkin’s usual weapon before, but this thing was of no use to Liu Ming.

The 2 black crystals were exactly the same as the crystals he obtained from the head of the Real Pellet State giant bird he killed before. Siren King should have obtained them from killing other Real Pellet State evil beasts before.

Thinking back to Zong Yan’s denial of seeing this black crystal stones before, this thing should be useful, but he forgot to ask Siren King about it.

Liu Ming played with it for a while, then he put away the black crystal stones, picked up the gray jade slip and read it with Divine Thought.

At the beginning of jade slip, there were 3 ancient beastkin characters, Pan Voodoo Codex.

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed. Siren King mentioned that this was Iron Beastkin Zong Yan’s major technique.

There was a hint of interest in his eyes, because Zong Yan practiced this technique, he couldn’t search his soul. This Pan Voodoo Codex should have a miraculous effect.

Thinking like this, Liu Ming continued to read.

Time passed bit by bit. After half an hour, he opened his eyes with a shocked expression.

According to the jade slip, this Pan Voodoo Codex was passed down from a hidden sect in the ancient time.

Liu Ming had read countless ancient books, among which there were occasional references to the way of voodoo.

The ancient voodoo techniques were strange and unpredictable. There were rumors that they could kill people from far distance and had the strange ability of cursing substitute.

Liu Ming had heard of a voodoo technique called the Seven Arrow Book. One had to use the hair of the enemy to bind into a small figure, write the enemy’s name and birth date on it, put a lamp above and below the figure and stabbed it with a needle.

Every time a needle was inserted, the enemy would lose one soul. After 7 needles, the enemy’s three spiritual souls and seven physical souls would completely dissipate. He would die in excruciating pain.

The techniques recorded in the Pan Voodoo Codex were not so mysterious. According to the codex, the way of voodoo was divided into 2 types: voodoo art and witchcraft.

The Seven Arrow Book was biased toward witchcraft while Pan Voodoo Codex was biased toward voodoo art.

The cultivation of the Pan Voodoo Codex seemed to be very difficult. The requirements for body qualifications were not low. Liu Ming estimated that Iron Beastkin Zong Yan should not have cultivated to a high level, otherwise even if he had only 1 soul left, he would not be so restricted by Siren King.

Although the techniques weren’t that useful to Liu Ming, some of the mystic arts related to the operation of the soul had benefited Liu Ming a lot. The Soul Lock Technique was one of them.

Other sub-soul technique, soul grafting technique, soul reincarnation technique, etc opened his eyes even more.

The means of fighting the enemy recorded in the Pan Voodoo Codex were quite strange. The Soul Leech Token and Soul Destroy Leech mentioned by Siren King were all recorded on the jade slip. Each of the voodoo art was insidious.

It was a pity that the materials needed to perform these voodoo arts were too harsh. Many of them were rare spiritual insects and herbs in the Middle Sky Continent.

However, one of the Soul Absorb Voodoo caught Liu Ming’s attention. The main material needed for this voodoo technique was mind imitation insect.

Soul Absorb Voodoo was not used against enemies, but it was a supportive technique.

Once the Soul Absorb Voodoo was cultivated, it not only inherited the ability of mind imitation insect to provide mental power to the host, but it could also absorb other souls and refine them into pure soul power. Some of the absorbed soul power would also be transferred to the host.

Liu Ming took a long breath and forced himself to calm down.

If he could cultivate this Soul Absorb Voodoo, his mental power could increase significantly, and this effect was still continuous.

Liu Ming understood the benefits of powerful mental power more deeply than anyone else. The value of this kind of voodoo technique was simply incalculable.

After Liu Ming calmed down, he carefully checked the materials needed for the Soul Absorb Voodoo. Apart from the mind imitation insect, he knew most of the materials needed except for a skeleton silkworm. Although they were extremely precious, he could collect them as long as he returned to the Middle Sky Continent.

Liu Ming pondered for a moment, put away all the things on the ground and walked out of the secret room.

Now that he was in the Sea Region, not to mention the skeleton silkworm, even other materials couldn’t be found, the most urgent thing now was to return to the Middle Sky Continent.

When he walked into the hall, there was a white communication talisman was buzzing and flying around.

Liu Ming laughed at himself. He was so focused just now that he didn’t notice this thing.

He caught the communication talisman with black air, and a thought was transmitted to his mind.

After a while, Liu Ming’s eyes flashed. He opened the door, and the old man in a gray robe stood at the door. It was the old man surnamed Yan.
