Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This was not a place he came by every day, so Li Ming decided to condense a few more yin beads while he was there. Yin beads were quite valuable, after all. Moreover, refining yin fire beads could prove to be useful later on. Although he had not tested them out, Li Ming was still very confident in the power of these beads bead. With them being so troublesome to refine, it would be strange if they were useless!

He found a place where he would not be disturbed by the tablet spirit and where the yin qi was denser, and then he began condensing yin beads.

Ever since the tablet spirit told him that all magical arts were based on formations, he had been exploring this way of thought. However, reality was often cruel, as even the simplest magical technique appeared to be ever-changing.

If the core of a magical art was truly a formation, it would be extremely difficult to find the location of the formation through the myriad changes.

Soon, he entered an out-of-body experience. During this time, his hands sometimes moved fast and sometimes slow, and there was no order to speak of. There was no expression on his face at all, and his eyes were empty as if his soul had completely left his body.

The yin qi on his hands condensed at times, while dissipating during other times. However, he did not seem to notice any of this. His ten fingers moved about as if they were possessed.

The tablet spirit opened its eyes and discovered Li Ming’s condition. The yin qi that had been rushing into its body suddenly stopped. It closed its eyes again, and the yin qi in the surroundings gathered towards it at an even faster speed.

The movements of Li Ming’s fingers started to have a rhythm to them. The speed at which the yin qi gathered on his hand also became faster and faster. Soon enough, a yin bead slowly formed on his hand.

When the yin bead took shape, Li Ming woke up from his trance. He looked at the yin bead in his hand and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. The only difference from before was that there was a slight increase in speed.

If it was not for Li Ming having paid some attention to the time, he would not have even noticed this improvement at all.

Although it was only a small improvement, it still served as encouragement for Li Ming. Although he was a little disappointed, he also knew that with his current level, it was still very difficult to learn the formations behind magical arts.

But at least it proved that he was moving in the right direction. As long as he knew the direction to move in, he could go further.

He made a bold change, and this change made his yin beads form even faster.

Perhaps in the future, if his attainments in formations were high enough, he would no longer struggle as he did today, Li Ming consoled himself.

Next, he did not waste any more time and focused on condensing yin beads, only stopping after condensing 30 yin beads.

After absorbing enough yin qi, the tablet spirit was in high spirits. With a satisfied expression. it flew in front of Li Ming. “Go and kill a few vin fiends!” The expression on its face was like that of a hungry child.

“You can do it yourself.” Li Ming asked curiously. The tablet spirit was much stronger than him, so there was no reason for it to ask him for help.

The tablet spirit pursed its lips and looked helpless. “If I were to be the one to kill them, those yin fiends would not taste as good.”

“Is that so?” Li Ming was skeptical.

The tablet spirit shrugged its shoulders and did not say anything else.

Li Ming thought to himself that it was best not to provoke this spirit too much. He was very clear about the desire that the tablet spirit had for souls.

Hunting yin fiends was much better than having it take souls from others.

“Alright, but you know my strength.”

The tablet spirit grew excited. “How could there even be any powerful yin fiends here? Hehe, hurry, we have to go in before your senior brother. We might even find something good.”

“Why?” Li Ming asked, puzzled.

Perhaps it was because it needed Li Ming’s help, but the tablet spirit did not show any impatience.

He explained in detail, “These yin fiends mostly emerge in places with extremely dense yin qi. They are born from yin qi and gradually form their own consciousness. From when they are born, they will continuously absorb the yin qi around them and become smarter.”

“Once they gain enough intelligence, they can finally make use of their innate talent for cultivation, making their bodies even purer. Some powerful yin fiends can even turn into demons or evil spirits.

“With them having been born from yin qi, they have an extreme aptitude toward yin and even have bodies of yin. They become incredibly difficult to deal with.”

Li Ming was shocked. The words “difficult to deal with” was something that rarely came out from the mouth of the tablet spirit.

“However, yin fiends are ultimately formed from yin qi. Their formation takes quite some time.”

“Your senior brother cleaned up all the yin fiends here just now. He’s really a freak. Not a single one was left! If it was not for this cave, the fiendish qi and bloodthirsty qi here would not have been formed so easily. Sigh, this is fate!” The tablet spirit looked like it was sighing, which baffled Li Ming. He reminded him, “You are not human, you have no life.”

One man and one spirit entered the deepest parts of the sword cave.

As they got deeper and deeper, the yin qi became denser and denser, and the tablet spirit’s expression became increasingly cheerful. However, in Li Ming’s eyes, all of this was so strange.

This body of a spirit was indeed different from that of a human. The deeper he went, the more perturbed Li Ming felt.

The surrounding environment was getting stranger and stranger, but Li Ming’s divine sense was getting stronger and stronger. He could clearly feel a chill that made people shudder. It was like countless bugs were drilling around his body.

The blood fiend at his feet was much thicker than outside. It was filled with endless hostility, and Li Ming’s divine sense had to avoid it as much as possible.

Li Ming could not help but feel a lingering fear when he thought about how his finger had almost touched something that looked like blood.

Li Ming could tell at a glance how powerful the blood fiend was. This was not someone he could provoke.

“Where are the yin fiends?” Li Ming’s voice trembled as he spoke.

The tablet spirit paused and looked around. Suddenly, it pointed in a direction excitedly. “There’s one over there.”

He took the lead and flew in that direction. The tablet spirit’s body was erratic like a ghost.

Li Ming could only grit his teeth and follow closely behind the tablet spirit.

A pitch-black mist was surging in the corner of the wall.

“This is a yin fiend?” He never would have thought that the yin fiend that the tablet spirit spoke so frighteningly about was actually a ball of black mist that looked like it could not harm a thing.

The tablet spirit shrugged its shoulders. “Yin fiends come in many different forms. You’ve seen them many times, so you should not be surprised.”

“I don’t want to see too much.” Li Ming muttered to himself as he looked at the ever-changing black fog in front of him. He suddenly had a feeling that he did not know where to start. “How do I kill it?”

“That’s easy. You just have to hurt it.” The tablet spirit’s eyes lit up, and its face was filled with hope. “Heavily injure it!”

Li Ming summoned the water-drop sword.

Under the constant nourishment of the spiritual spring, the body of the water-drop sword had already become crystal clear. After a few hand gestures, he made his move!

A translucent ripple slowly rippled in front of Li Ming. The water-drop sword sank into the yin fiend’s body. The sharp tip of the sword was as if it sank into

water as its movement slowed.

Chi!

The yin fiend suddenly rampaged..
