Chapter 752 - 314: Feeling Completely Drained
Chu Ning looked at the Ancient Saber at this moment and saw the blood groove on the knife was dark red.
Completely different from the empty state before.
"Is it because the Essence Blood was absorbed and the power wasn’t released, so the Essence Blood wasn’t consumed?"
Chu Ning vaguely speculated at this time.
A slight smile appeared on his face immediately.
This was quite convenient.
You know, his Magical Power now was only enough to activate the Ancient Saber once.
In this way, he wouldn’t have to consume Essence Blood every time he faced an enemy.
As for the Essence contained in the mouthful of Essence Blood just now, Chu Ning could make up for it by cultivating for a few days.
Chu Ning casually placed the Ancient Saber into his most commonly used Storage Bag.
Then, he walked towards the corpse of Black Death Demon.
He took the opponent’s Storage Bag and carefully checked it.
After finding nothing else, he directly used the Fireball Technique to reduce the split corpse to ashes.
Only then did Chu Ning open the Storage Bag and pour out its contents.
The first thing that caught Chu Ning’s eye was a Jade Bottle.
It was the Jade Bottle that Situ Yan used before for a drop of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.
Chu Ning opened it, glanced inside, and his eyes slightly brightened.
Inside the bottle, there was actually nearly half a bottle of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, probably close to fifty drops.
"How does this old demon have so much Thousand-Year Spirit Milk?"
Chu Ning’s eyes were full of surprise.
You know, once a cultivator collects this Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, they seldom bring it out for trade.
After all, this stuff is useful for cultivators and can often be used to save lives.
Just like Situ Yan earlier, if he didn’t think the Ancient Saber could kill Chu Ning, and then couldn’t take the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk when Chu Ning’s Spirit Sword attacked.
If the opponent had a little time to drink a drop, Chu Ning’s attack might have only injured the old demon.
But delivering a killing blow would still be difficult.
A little thought, Chu Ning realized that it might be related to the opponent using the Secret Technique to extend life span.
The opponent, although at Golden Core Late Stage Peak, had insufficient Golden Core strength and likely lacked Pill Power.
So he prepared so much Thousand-Year Spirit Milk to use during Magical Combat.
At this moment, all this Spirit Milk naturally fell into Chu Ning’s possession.
Then, Chu Ning continued to search and examine the pile of items.
After all, being an old demon who had lived for eight or nine hundred years, there were indeed many high-quality items.
But many of the items he collected seemed meant for refining Demon Techniques and Demon Artifacts, which Chu Ning couldn’t really use.
There was a thing called Celestial Separation Water, which was one of the materials used for refining a Water Spirit Sword.
He naturally collected it.
There were also some Spirit Stones, and some regular Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines, which Chu Ning also collected separately.
Besides, there were some Jade Scrolls recording Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
Just that Situ Yan practiced Demonic Cultivation Techniques and Spells, which Chu Ning was mostly not interested in.
Only one of them, recorded as Phantom Escape Technique, was particularly taken out by Chu Ning for research.
Actually, Chu Ning was quite interested in the Secret Technique for extending life span used by the old demon.
Even though Chu Ning couldn’t use it himself, he wanted to take a look at it and study it.
It should also be popular among other cultivators if he brought it out for trade.
Unfortunately, Chu Ning searched the entire Storage Bag but couldn’t find it.
And this Phantom Escape Technique, Chu Ning suspected that it was the Escape Technique Situ Yan used before,
That Escape Technique left a deep impression on Chu Ning, so he took it out for a closer look.
Bai Ling watched Chu Ning organize these items but didn’t speak.
Her face was still pensive, seemingly pondering about simulating aura.
The two were each immersed in their own thoughts.
At this moment, Chu Ning looked at the content recorded on the Jade Scroll and was delighted internally.
"This Phantom Escape cannot be considered a Demon Technique but is a special Escape Technique that consumes a lot of Magical Power.
The reason for the old demon’s appearance of purple-black mist was entirely due to the Demon Technique he practiced.
This Escape Technique could actually be practiced a bit, as it is quicker than the Divine Wind Escape.
Moreover, when this Escape Technique is performed, it leaves a phantom at the original place, which cultivators without strong Divine Sense cannot notice, effectively avoiding some attack techniques."
Chu Ning found it increasingly interesting.
Immediately he released the two Golden Thunder Eagles, allowing them to hunt for themselves.
He then began to work on understanding the Phantom Escape Technique.
This was actually suitable for cultivation on this Overseas Island.
After a long time, Chu Ning put down the Jade Scroll.
He saw Bai Ling watching him with a joyful expression.
"Young Lord, I remembered."
Bai Ling said with a smile:
"Indeed, there is a Secret Technique in my inherited memories that can simulate aura, even perfectly simulate the aura of a Tier Ten Demon Beast.
But this cultivation is quite difficult, and with my current cultivation, I need a treasure called Cold Marrow Bead to succeed."
"Cold Marrow Bead?" Chu Ning raised his eyebrows lightly, "What is that?"
Bai Ling was momentarily stunned.
"Eh, Young Lord, don’t you know? When I was breaking through promotion before and lacked Spiritual Qi, didn’t you give me a Cold Marrow Bead?"
"That was a Cold Marrow Bead?"
