Demon Sect Cultivation: I Can Disable Debuffs-Chapter 28

Chapter 28

The direct disciple looked at Zhang Chen and said coldly, “Don’t resist.”

Without waiting for Zhang Chen’s reply, he made a hand seal and pointed.

A beam of bloody light shot out from the archway, landing on Zhang Chen.

A blood-red mark appeared on his forehead and then disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Chen did not feel anything different, as if nothing had happened.

“Alright, you can go now.”

“That’s it? I don’t feel anything,” Zhang Chen said.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” He bowed and walked out of the valley.

As soon as he walked through the archway, the scenery in front of Zhang Chen suddenly distorted, and he felt a moment of confusion.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a strange forest.

The air no longer smelled of blood but of decaying trees and soil.

Looking back, he saw lush trees instead of the valley and archway.

“How realistic!” Zhang Chen couldn’t help but exclaim.

He realized that this must be the illusion formation to prevent others from entering.

Finally, he had left the Blood God Sect!

Excited, Zhang Chen took out the map and headed towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Not long after Zhang Chen left, Sun Jian arrived at the sect’s exit.

Three days later.

Zhang Chen stood before a deep abyss, carefully examining the map in his hand.

According to the markings on the map, he was only ten miles away from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and in front of him was a market established by the Blood God Sect as a place for cultivators to trade and rest.

Before leaving the sect, Zhang Chen had asked some other disciples about the situation.

Other than disciples of the Blood God Sect, there were also disciples from other sects and itinerant cultivators who came to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

To cultivators, the entire body of a demon beast was a treasure.

Fur, bones, and teeth could be refined into magical tools, while their blood and flesh could be refined into pills.

In addition to demonic beasts, there were also spiritual herbs and natural treasures growing in the mountain range.

Sometimes, even other cultivators become targets for hunting.

However, very few people would attack the disciples of the Blood God Sect.

If a disciple of the Blood God Sect died, the curses within their body would turn into blood curse marks that revealed the identity of their killer.

Unless he could escape from the Blood God Sect’s territory, he would be hunted down by the sect. That was one of the missions of the direct disciples to protect the sect’s prestige.

However, the blood curse was ineffective against the other Blood God Sect disciples because they already had a curse in their bodies.

Most cultivators would come to the market to sell their gains after obtaining a harvest in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

This was the territory of the Blood God Sect. Outsiders had to pay a fee to enter, but Zhang Chen, as a disciple of the Blood God Sect, did not need to.

According to the map, the market should be here, there was no trace of it in front of him, only a bottomless abyss.

Could it also be an illusion array?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen picked up a stone and threw it towards the abyss in front of him.

The stone did not fall. Instead, it disappeared mysteriously upon entering the abyss.

It was indeed an illusion array!

Although he knew that it was an illusion array, it was still a little scary to see that it was a bottomless abyss.

After all, he could not fly yet. If he fell, he would be seriously injured even if he did not die.

Zhang Chen mustered his courage and took a step forward.

Just like the feeling of leaving the Blood God Sect, the scenery in front of him suddenly distorted.

After a moment of confusion, a huge market that looked like a small town appeared in front of him.

Outside the city entrance, two guards at the eighth level of Qi Refinement were looking at him.

One of them said happily, “He came in on his own, you lost the bet.”

The other person sighed and took out a crystal clear stone that emitted dense spiritual Qi. He handed it over unwillingly.

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Chen understood that they were betting on whether he dared to step into the abyss or not.

And that crystal-clear stone emitting a strong spiritual energy was likely a spirit stone.

Although he had heard of spirit stones before, this was his first time seeing one.

The Blood God Sect’s cultivation technique was special. It could obtain spirit energy from demon blood. Coupled with the fact that blood essence could directly increase one’s cultivation, it was much more convenient and efficient than using spirit stones.

Therefore, the Blood God Sect used blood essence as currency instead of spirit stones.

In addition, the disciples of the Blood God Sect could not leave the sect easily. It was difficult to obtain spirit stones, so they were rarely seen.

However, Zhang Chen did not mind and walked towards the entrance.

“Activate your identity token to prove your identity,” said the guard who had won.

This was to prevent disciples of the Blood God Sect from appearing. After all, disciples of the Blood God Sect did not have to pay entrance fees.

Some people also wore Blood God Sect clothes to avoid being targeted.

After all, this was the territory of the Blood God Sect, and it was much safer to to pose as disciples of the sect.

Zhang Chen took out his identity token and activated it with spiritual energy.

“Alright, you can go in.” The guard nodded and let them in.

“Thank you, senior brothers.” Zhang Chen cupped his hands and stepped into the market.

The market wasn’t very lively, but it wasn’t deserted either.

In the middle was a wide road with shops on both sides.

There were pill shops, magic artifact shops, teahouses, and inns. Zhang Chen even saw a place for dual cultivation.

Some people set up small stalls on the road, displaying a variety of items.

There were all sorts of beast bones, beast skins, talismans, artifacts, medicinal pills, and so on.

Zhang Chen was like a country bumpkin entering the city. He looked left and right, full of novelty.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of a stall.

This was because other than some miscellaneous items that he did not recognize, there were also three books, the topmost one of which was the Lifespan Burning Technique that he was familiar with.

What kind of book could be placed together with the Lifespan Burning Technique?

Zhang Chen was interested and asked the stall owner, “What are the two books below the Lifespan Burning Technique?”

The stall owner was originally sitting on a recliner. When he heard the question, he immediately stood up and enthusiastically introduced, “One is the Divine Forging Technique, and the other is the Spiritual Eye Technique. Google search 𝐟r𝚎ewe𝚋𝚗૦ν𝘦𝘭. 𝐜𝚘𝗺

“The Divine Forging Technique can train and strengthen one’s divine sense. The Spiritual Eye Technique can see through illusions.”

Zhang Chen’s eyes lit up as he thought of an illusion array. “See through illusions? Then can you see through illusion arrays?”

“Absolutely.” The stall owner guaranteed, patting his chest.

“Have you practiced it before?” Zhang Chen continued to ask.

“Uh…” The stall owner was a little embarrassed. “This Spiritual Eye Technique has some side effects, so I didn’t dare to practice it.”

Zhang Chen was wearing the Blood God Sect’s clothes and this was the Blood God Sect’s territory. The stall owner did not dare to deceive him.

Side effects?

It’s good that there are side effects!

Zhang Chen thought.

His interest was piqued. “What are the side effects?”

“You might lose your sight if you use it too much.” The stall owner thought this deal was probably not going to happen. Who would choose a spell that could turn them into a blind person?

Zhang Chen knew he couldn’t show too much interest, so he changed the subject. “What about the other Divine Forging Technique? Does it have side effects too?”

Unexpectedly, the stall owner nodded. “Yes, the side effects are occasional unbearable headaches that cannot be controlled or cured.”

Zhang Chen deliberately frowned. “If I have a headache when fighting with others, won’t that be fatal?”

“I’ve told you about the side effects. One book costs 10 spirit stones. Whether you buy it or not is up to you.” The stall owner chose to be indifferent.

Zhang Chen wanted to buy it, but he did not have any spirit stones. “Can I use my blood essence to exchange for it?”

The stall owner was used to it and pointed to a store not far away. “That’s your Blood God Sect’s shop. You can go there to exchange your blood essence for spirit stones.”

“Thank you.” Zhang Chen walked towards the store that the stall owner pointed to.

Zhang Chen was not worried about someone else buying the two spells with extreme side effects.
