Chapter 40: The Secret Within the Spirit Devourers Body

Ming Xiu didnt care about the glances of the people around him. His long and narrow phoenix eyes looked at Lou Mu Yan deeply, but it was only fleeting, so fast that no one could catch it.

He stopped talking, turned, and disappeared from here completely.

After Ming Xiu left, Elder Ye walked forward and asked Lou Mu Yan with a gentle smile: Is Young Miss Lou alright?

Thank you for Elder Yes concern, Im fine. Lou Mu Yan shook her head with a smile.

Feeling the trembling of the little beast in her hand grow more and more intense, her eyes sank, but she remained smiling, Elder Ye, I have something to do so Ill leave first.

Thats fine, please do as you see fit, Young Miss Lou. Elder Ye noticed the little beast in Lou Mu Yans hand wasnt in good condition and sighed inwardlywhat a pity.

Lou Mu Yan nodded, then she took out a wooden whistle that hung around her neck and blew it. In only a few breaths, a bright, white Tailwind Horse appeared in front of everyone.

She addressed Yun Lan and the others, then mounted the Tailwind Horse while carrying the Spirit Devourer. She left the premises of the Ming Alliance of Merchants and headed for the Lou Clan.

The King of Zhenxi watched with uncertainty, and his face was so dark it could squeeze out a basin of ink1. He narrowed his eyes, then turned and left from the crowd.

After seeing Lou Mu Yans valiant and admirable back disappear, Yun Lan retrieved his gaze. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the others stare at Lou Mu Yans back in a daze as well.

Lets go too. He narrowed his eyes, concealed the strangeness in his eyes, and addressed the others.

After Yun Lan and the others left, the crowd exploded as they gathered in threes and pairs before leaving, still discussing what occurred at todays auction.

In less than half a day, the news of the Marrow Cleansing Pill appearing at the auction spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital. Large and small distinguished families held their own thoughts on this matter as they sent spies to the Generals Mansion to gather intel.

The situation on the black-clothed Sword Monarch being severely injured by the mysterious red-clothed, masked man and then thrown to the Law Enforcement Unit, however, was strictly banned from being spoken of in the Empire. Other Sword Masters didnt dare speak of this incident or discuss anything to do with the man who was termed Monarch Ming.

However, Lou Mu Yan didnt care for how the outside coveted her Marrow Cleansing Pill. The moment she arrived home, she entered her room and put the trembling little beast on the table.

At this time the little beasts four claws were curled up even more. Her face sunk and one hand probed the area of the Spirit Devourers dantian area. She used her Mental Energy to slip inside and inspect deeper.

Then she used her Mental Energy to scan the condition of the Spirit Devourers insides. She discovered that its meridians werent shattered, and its internal organs were also perfectly well. Then what caused this sort of physical state?

As she thought deeply, she once again scrutinized the Spirit Devourers insides carefully.

Hm! When her Mental Energy accidentally touched the Demonic Beasts Crystal Core, she discovered that its energy was very violent. The Crystal Cores purple colour was at times light, at times dark, extremely unstable.

She focused, then pushed a trace of wood attribute Spiritual Energy into the Spirit Devourers body and calmed the violent energy of the Crystal Core bit by bit. After the Crystal Cores turbulent energy was slowly suppressed by her Spiritual Energy, she used her Mental Energy to probe into the Crystal Core.

Its actually a Seal2. Lou Mu Yan was slightly surprisedhow was there a Seal in the Crystal Core of the Spirit Devourer?

No wonder, when in the private room, she clearly felt an unusual Mental Energy within the Spirit Devourers body, secretly protecting its internal organs, but felt that the energy disappeared just earlier. So it was the Crystal Cores problem.

Seeing the little, round white balls aura slowly weakening, and its whole body was trembling more severely, as if it would die soon, she took a deep breath and made a bold decision.

She drew ten Void Talismans in the air with her Spiritual Energy, then sent them directly into the Spirit Devourers body, forming a Five-Element Array to break the Seal.

Then she sent a sliver of her Mental Energy that carried a little bit of Spiritual Energy into the sealed Crystal Core, and not long after, she found the whereabouts of the energy that formed the Seal.

She pushed her Spiritual Energy further in bit by bit, slowly devouring the energy that formed the Seal that was enveloped by a black mist.

As time passed, Lou Mu Yans face grew paler, a layer of sweat rose on her forehead, and her long eyelashes on her closed eyes trembled slightly.

But her hands werent idle as one hand stroked the Spirit Devourer and the other formed seals in the air. Numerous Five-Element Arrays appeared in mid-air and converged into a series of five-coloured rays of light that flew into the little beast, enveloping its purple Crystal Core.

The black mist that entangled around the purple Crystal Core was swallowed up by her Spiritual Energy, and a dense black thread-like force that wrapped around the Crystal Core was then revealed.

Then the Five-Element Arrays entered into the Crystal Core, and a five-coloured light suddenly burst from within the little beast, instantly enveloping the black filamentous force. The two types of energy competed against each other incessantly.

Lou Mu Yan clenched her jaw when she saw this, then sent all her remaining Spiritual Energy into the little beast to protect the purple Crystal Core.

The key lied in this. Lou Mu Yan suddenly opened her eyes and said softly: Break!

As her voice fell, the five-coloured light flourished and completely annihilated the layer of black filamentous energy on the Crystal Core.

When the light dissipated, the Crystal Core suddenly emitted a dazzling purple light, and a force that didnt belong to her burst out of the Crystal Core, instantly destroying the Seal.

Lou Mu Yan was startled. She actually felt an aura and pressure that only an adult Spirit Devourer could exude, and a powerful Soul Energy was hidden within the Crystal Core.

She looked at it firmly, then immediately cut her fingers and dripped a drop of blood on the Spirit Devourers head, fusing it with the bright red flame-like fur.

She chanted a long, vague, and obscure incantation. When she finished her incantation, a red and complicated Taoist Seal appeared in the air. She pointed two fingers and the Taoist Seal disappeared together with the blood essence on the Spirit Devourers forehead under her control, forming a Contract Talisman in the Spirit Devourers Sea of Consciousness.

Before the purple light of the little beasts Crystal Core faded, and while the little beasts Soul Energy had yet to recover, Lou Mu Yans Contract Talisman successfully contracted the Spirit Devourer through its Sea of Consciousness. Only then did she sigh in relief and retrieved all the Mental Energy she released into the little beasts body and Crystal Core.

After a while, the small white beast with its eyes tightly closed suddenly opened them. There was a coldness in its glass-like black eyes.

An intangible Mental Energy suddenly pierced Lou Mu Yans Sea of Consciousness and her head hurt as if it were being pricked by countless fine needles. She quickly guarded her Sea of Consciousness and mobilised her Mental Energy to form a big web, like spider silk, and only then was she able to withstand the enemys assault.

I saved you, and you want to repay kindness with enmity3? Lou Mu Yan glared at the Spirit Devourer that had a sudden change in temperament in front of her. Her clear eyes met those cold eyes that were like a deep well.

The little beasts eyes showed a humanized look of uncertainty, then after a while, it withdrew the Mental Energy that invaded Lou Mu Yans Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as the Mental Energy disappeared, a cold male voice echoed in her Sea of Consciousness: You, a weak human being, dared to sign a contract with this King. You truly deserve death.

2this Seal means theres something sealed/locked within this Crystal Core.

3idiom that is equivalent to the English bite the hand that feeds one. Pretty straight forward though.

Note: I might edit some previous chapters and fix some of the terminology to do with seals and talismans so that it makes more sense. I just did a more in-depth research on baidu and read up the meanings of some of the terminology the author used regarding seals and talismans. Each of the words used have more distinct meanings in Chinese, so I want to try to reflect their distinctiveness in the English translation so it makes more sense.
