Chapter 126: Yin Needles

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

However, such a weak Maze Formation actually managed to trap a yin fiend.

At that instant, Li Ming felt a sense of accomplishment!

Ever since the tablet spirit told him that if he could not increase the capacity of his spiritual energy, then he could at least increase the efficiency at which he used it. At the moment, all he knew and was good at were the lowest-level magical arts.

Moreover, the speed at which his cultivation increased was very slow because high-level magical arts and formations required a huge amount of spiritual energy. This had always disappointed him.

However, it was impossible to take out the demonic pattern and demonic core. If he could not solve his problem when it came to his storage of spiritual energy, it meant that he would only ever be able to use low-level cultivation techniques.

Left with no choice, he could only cast his gaze toward those low-level magical arts and formations. He vaguely felt that if used well, some low-level magical arts and formations could also display extraordinary power.

And this line of thought proved itself correct at this very moment!

A mere second-stage formation was actually able to trap a yin fiend.

His accurate judgment made him excited and also caused him to completely forget about the tablet spirit. His attention was currently completely focused on the trapped yin fiend. He wanted to see how long the yin fiend could be trapped inside the Maze Formation. He wondered what means the yin fiend would use to free itself from the formation.

Seeing that Li Ming was currently motionless, the tablet spirit became unhappy, but it forced itself to endure it. It also wanted to see what Li Ming was doing.

The yin fiend within the formation went berserk. This could be seen from the churning yin qi around it. Ever since it became trapped inside the formation, the yin fiend had shot out five divine sense spikes in quick succession, but they all missed and shot in all directions. This meant that the yin fiend had completely lost its ability to distinguish directions while inside the formation.

Chi!

The yin fiend suddenly let out a sharp cry. Amidst the surging yin qi, five gray needles shot out in all directions!

Crack, the formation broke apart. The five yin needles did not stop there either. Instead, they continued to fly in different directions at varying speeds.

Li Ming’s expression changed as one of the yin needles shot straight at him!

He quickly made a hand seal and activated the formation on the turtle shell. A translucent shield appeared in front of him. Tink! The turtle shell shield shook, and the light of the shield dimmed significantly, but he remained safe.

Li Ming was shocked. The power of this gray needle was indeed extraordinary! He knew very well how strong the defensive power of this shield was, yet it had almost been blown apart. If it had hit his body, there would definitely have been a bloody hole left behind!

Gritting his teeth, he threw out a [Dragon-Binding Formation] formation plate!

As soon as the formation plate left his hand, it immediately turned into three thin green ropes. As if the ropes had gained a life of their own, they all shot toward the yin fiends. The five tiny yin needles had obviously consumed a lot of the yin fiend’s energy. Its body had withered, and it failed to avoid the green ropes. The three green ropes were like three small snakes, firmly constricting the yin fiend.

This was a very strange thing. The yin fiend was formed from yin qi, but the green ropes were able to bind it as if the yin fiend was a physical entity.

Li Ming was relieved.

This [Dragon-Binding Formation] was a high-grade formation among the jade slips he had obtained. He had spent a large amount of resources to refine it. It was also one of his greatest trump cards. He did not expect it to have to use it so soon.

“Do you need my help again?” Li Ming, who had calmed down, turned his head and asked the tablet spirit.

“No need.” The tablet spirit curled its lips and walked to the tightly wrapped yin fiend. The yin fiend seemed to be extremely afraid of the tablet spirit, and it kept screaming.

The tablet spirit was unaffected by all the screaming. It walked towards the yin fiend and stretched out its hand to probe the yin qi.

Soon, the yin fiend’s screams became weaker and weaker. The gray fog on its body surged towards the tablet spirit’s palm at an astonishing speed. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had something so delicious!”

In the blink of an eye, all the yin qi was absorbed into his body.

The three green ropes no longer had anything to bind and shattered.

“Good, 49 more!” The tablet spirit’s face seemed to have flushed red, and his smile also became even more charming.

Fortunately, Li Ming had prepared many formation plates for this trip to the sword cave, and the Dragon-Binding Formation was just one of them.

Gradually, Li Ming began to familiarize himself with the characteristics of the yin fiends. The yin needles were the killing move of the yin fiends. Once they used it, they would become weak. He learned that illusion formations were extremely effective against yin fiends. This made Li Ming sigh at how everything in the world had a counter. It was really mysterious.

The deeper Li Ming’s understanding of yin fiends became, the more skilled his hand movements became.

He paid special attention to how the yin fiends used their divine senses. The yin fiends’ usage of their divine sense was actually very crude and primitive. When he was facing his tenth yin fiend, Li Ming only needed to compress the yin qi into a needle to use the divine sense spike.

After many practices, Li Ming could use it freely, but the power still made him a little dissatisfied.

This thing could be used for sneak attacks, but it was useless when the target was on guard. The first time, Li Ming was caught off guard and suffered a huge loss.

The tablet spirit showed his disdain and contempt.

Li Ming immediately turned his gaze to the yin needles shot out by the yin fiends. He quickly realized that the power of these yin needles far surpassed his divine sense spikes.

That was why he had forced the yin fiends into a corner and had them release tiny yin needles to investigate the move. His divine sense was much stronger than the yin fiends, so he could roughly figure it out after repeatedly checking.

At the core of the yin needles was the divine sense, and surrounding the needles was a thick layer of yin qi. The power of the yin needles far surpassed the divine sense spikes. This move consumed a lot less energy than the divine sense spike, but its power was incomparable.

The tablet spirit was greatly invigorated. He had swallowed more than ten yin fiends in quick succession. A faint ring of light had even appeared on his face. At the same time, his blood-red eyes and the blood-red crystals on his ears had become even more dazzling.

In stark contrast to the tablet spirit, Li Ming’s current mood was extremely terrible.

He had spent so much effort to figure out the secret of the yin needle, but in the end, he could not use it. How could he not be frustrated?

Controlling his divine sense was not difficult for him, but he was not a yin fiend after all. How could he have such pure and dense yin qi?

If he wanted to use Yin Needle, he needed yin qi. No matter how good he controlled his divine sense, without yin qi, Li Ming could not shoot out yin needles.

Wait a minute!

Li Ming, who was following the tablet spirit with his head lowered, suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

The tablet spirit floating in front of him was stunned. He also stopped and turned around with a blank expression on his face.

Li Ming remembered the yin beads.

Was there not a wisp of yin qi in the bead? The yin qi contained within the yin bead was also much denser. The more Li Ming thought about it, the more excited he became. He took out a yin bead and thought about it carefully.

His divine sense probed the yin bead. The yin qi in the yin bead was different from the yin qi around the yin fiends. Its yin qi was more condensed and more solid. Li Ming still needed some time to learn how to control it with his divine

sense..
