Demon Sect Cultivation: I Can Disable Debuffs

Chapter 38

Zhang Chen walked out of the Internal Affairs Hall with joy. “As long as I take this opportunity to kill Zhou Wenting and his men, no one should know my secret.

“By the way, the Blood Burst Technique is useful in battle, but it’s not suitable for traveling. I’ll change to another suitable spell.”

Zhang Chen walked towards the Technique Exchange Pavilion again.

As long as the spell was really useful, he did not necessarily have to choose a spell with side effects.

However, most of the spells of the Blood God Sect had side effects, and the spells with side effects generally had much stronger power.

“Senior Brother, do you want to exchange spells? This is the catalog of Qi Refinement realm spells. Tell me when you’ve made your choice.” The disciple of the Technique Exchange Pavilion respectfully handed over the catalog of spells.

He did not recognize that Zhang Chen was the ‘dead man’ in his eyes. Or rather, he had never bothered to remember what Zhang Chen looked like.

He didn’t think it was worth remembering someone who had chosen six spells with extremely high side effects and almost certain death.

Furthermore, Zhang Chen was now an inner sect disciple, and the gap between his cultivation and the previous one was simply too huge for the disciple to believe.

Zhang Chen sighed in his heart. The first time he came, the disciples of the Technique Exchange Pavilion ignored him. Now that he came as an inner sect disciple, the other party was respectful.

However, he did not have the boring idea of slapping himself in the face. He took the book and began to choose spells.

Finally, his gaze fell on two spells.

Light Body Technique and Beast Slave Seal.

The Light Body Technique could make the body temporarily light as a swallow. It was comparable to a first-rate martial arts expert with lightness skills. Moreover, there were no side effects. Many disciples had learned this technique.

He chose this spell not only for traveling, but also to cooperate with the Blood Burst Technique.

Being light as a swallow and then increasing his speed tenfold. Wouldn’t he be unimaginably fast?

The second spell, Beast Slave Seal, had side effects.

By using fresh blood as a seal, it forcibly controlled demons and beasts, requiring 15 bowls of blood in exchange.

Prolonged use or controlling multiple demons and beasts can result in the demon beast’s thinking assimilating with the caster, resulting in loss of humanity. Powerful demon beasts can turn the tables and control the caster.

The side effects were severe. For others, they could only control the demon beasts for a short time and be careful not to be controlled by them.

However, to Zhang Chen, it was a divine technique to gain demonic pets!

Controlling a group of demon beasts could not only quickly increase one’s strength, but it could also be used as a mount.

After obtaining the spell, Zhang Chen went to the Pill Pavilion to find Feng Wensheng to get some pills. Then he returned to the cave abode to cultivate.

[Detected cultivation technique, Beast Slave Seal. Using blood and intent to forcefully control demon beasts.]

[Side effects: May be assimilated by the demon beast’s thinking and be in danger of being controlled by it.]

[Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…]

[Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]

The first thing Zhang Chen did after learning the Beast Slave Seal was to go to the beast garden to test it. Please visit 𝙛𝓇𝑒𝗲𝒘e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕. com

“Happy New Year, Senior Brother Zhang.”

“Happy New Year, Junior Brother Wang.”

“Senior Brother Zhang, the missions for the inner disciples have changed. What should I do about the task you assigned me earlier?”

Wang Zhengang asked awkwardly. He had already paid his friend from the Internal Affairs Hall when he asked him to do something. Now that the sect mission had changed, he was afraid that Zhang Chen would cancel the task and not pay him.

“How about this? Get your friends from the Internal Affairs Hall to find out where Zhou Wenting and the others have been assigned to recruit disciples. The reward remains the same.”

“Okay,” Wang Zhengang agreed happily.

“Give me the array formation token. I might take away a demon beast later,” Zhang Chen explained in advance.

Wang Zhengang did not ask why and respectfully handed over the array formation token.

Arriving at the cave where the demon beasts were imprisoned, Zhang Chen was very cautious and chose the horse demon at the second level of Qi Refinement that Li Mumin had given him.

He activated the array formation token and controlled the horse demon.

Zhang Chen made a complex hand seal, and a twisted mass of blood formed a mysterious pattern, leaving a strand of intent in his blood.

The horse demon seemed to have sensed a certain danger and struggled desperately.

Unmoved, Zhang Chen waved his hand and said, “Beast Slave Seal, go!”

The pattern formed by the blood landed on the horse demon’s forehead, turning into a blood-red seal with the character ‘slave’.

Next, Zhang Chen felt a connection with the horse demon, and he could change the demon’s thoughts with a single thought.

This mark was bi-directional, and the demon’s thoughts could also be transmitted.

The grass is delicious. I want to eat fresh grass…

However, in an instant, these thoughts disappeared, as if the signal had been blocked.

The bi-directional channel of the mark became a one-way channel controlled by Zhang Chen’s thoughts.

Next was to test the control effect.

“Stand there quietly and don’t move.” Zhang Chen transmitted his thoughts to the horse demon.

The horse demon suddenly became incredibly quiet and stopped struggling.

Zhang Chen retracted the array chain and closed the array. If the horse demon made any movement, he would immediately attack.

The horse demon was only at the second level of Qi Refinement. He could kill it instantly and not cause any commotion. This was the reason why he chose to test the horse demon first.

The effect of the Beast Slave Seal was very good. Even though the array was already closed, the horse demon still stood on the spot without moving.

“Lie down.” Zhang Chen transmitted his thoughts again.

The horse demon immediately lay down obediently.

“Get up.”

…

“Raise your front hooves.”

…

After several tests, Zhang Chen was completely sure of the effect of the Beast Slave Seal. As long as he transmitted his thoughts, the horse demon would do as he said.

“You can be my mount for now.” Zhang Chen took out the beast breeding bag and kept the horse demon in satisfaction.

Five days later.

“Dang, dang, dang…” The sect representative’s bell rang.

“It’s finally time to assign tasks.” Zhang Chen stood up and walked towards the square.

When they arrived at the square, there were already more than a hundred inner sect disciples gathered here, and other disciples were arriving one after another.

An hour later, a blood-red light flashed, and 10 direct disciples descended from the sky.

After a short while, black blood gushed out of the ground. It was Patriarch Black Blood.

“Welcome, Elder Black Blood!” Everyone bowed.

Patriarch Black Blood glanced over the crowd and spoke with authority: “Due to the shortage of outer sect disciples, this year’s inner sect mission will be to recruit disciples with spiritual roots from the mortal world.”

The shortage of outer sect disciples is not because of your blood sacrifices, is it?

Many people thought so, but they did not dare to say it out loud.

Patriarch Black Blood waved his hand, and everyone received a blood-red bead.

“This is the Spiritual Detection Bead. It can detect if a mortal has spiritual roots. Just hold it, and if it glows, it means the person has spiritual roots.”

“For every disciple you bring back, you will receive a bowl of demon blood. For every hundred disciples you bring back, I will reward you with an additional bowl of blood essence.”

“You three will work together to go to the designated cities to collect disciples and escort them back to the sect. As for which cities, the Internal Affairs Hall will assign them.”

“This mission will last for half a year. My 10 direct disciples will be monitoring and supervising you, as well as protecting you from being killed by others.”

“Alright, go to the Internal Affairs Hall to receive your assigned locations.”

After saying that, Patriarch Black Blood turned into a pool of black blood and disappeared.

“Goodbye, Elder.”

Zhang Chen played with the Spirit Detection Bead with great interest as he looked at Zhou Wenting and the other two in the crowd without leaving a trace.

Over the past few days, Zhang Chen had already figured out the appearance and characteristics of the three of them to avoid mistakenly killing people from the sect.
