419: Conquer the Demon Sect

Qin Shilei first put away all the secret manuals, then began to inventory the other items submitted by the Demonic Sect.

He just casually glanced at the pile of red items, selected two with more unique characteristics, and kept them, returning the rest to Sect Leader Huangfu Feng.

Then he looked at the forty to fifty purple items in front of him.

About half of them were Sect Leader Huangfu Feng's and their weapons and equipment.

Qin Shilei looked at the dejected Demonic Sect members, "Do you want them?"

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng said somewhat sullenly, "Qin An King, if you take all our weapons and equipment, our strength will probably drop significantly. This way, we won't be able to serve you better."

Qin Shilei waved his hand and collected the large pile of purple items in front of him.

"Work hard to earn merit points. As long as the contributions you make are sufficient, I will return your weapons and equipment to you."

"Not only that, but you can also exchange merit points for Enlightenment Tea from me."

"Perhaps, you can even use Enlightenment Tea to further your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

They had also heard of the heaven-defying effects of Enlightenment Tea.

If they could truly exchange for some Enlightenment Tea from Qin Shilei, it might indeed allow their cultivation to advance rapidly.

Shi Yongzhen asked even more eagerly, "Qin An King, how can we exchange for Enlightenment Tea?"

His lifespan was nearing its end. If his cultivation did not improve significantly, he might not last more than three years.

His need for Enlightenment Tea was more urgent than anyone else's.

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "Various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and various top-grade tools can all earn varying amounts of merit points. Making contributions to the Qin An Royal Mansion will also earn varying amounts of merit points.

As long as you have enough merit points, you can exchange for top-grade items that I possess, such as Enlightenment Tea.

If you can obtain orange or higher-grade items, I can immediately give you ten to one hundred pieces of Enlightenment Tea."

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Qin An King, what exactly is this Space Secret Realm?"

Qin Shilei glanced at him and said calmly, "This Space Secret Realm has become my personal exclusive space. If you want to have a sanctuary in three years, then perform well."

The faces of the Demonic Sect members became even uglier.

Not only was their life and death in his hands, but now even the Demonic Sect's last retreat against the foreign races was controlled by him.

From now on, they could truly only obey him completely.

Qin Shilei then made an agreement with them that without his command, they were not allowed to return to the Great Xia Country.

From now on, they were to search all over Blue Star for various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as top-grade tools.

However, everyone must wear a Telepathic Talisman, report their whereabouts every three days, and return to Tian Zhao Country every half a month to receive his summons.

Elder Hu, as Qin Shilei's indirect means of controlling the other Demonic Sect experts, was required to stay in Tian Zhao Country to guard it.

After Qin Shilei announced his demands, he opened the exit of the Space Secret Realm, allowing Sect Leader Huangfu Feng to lead all Demonic Sect experts above Gold Realm to leave the Secret Realm.

Qin Shilei followed them to collect a wisp of soul from the three Platinum Experts guarding outside into Elder Hu's spiritual sea.

Having basically dealt with this Demonic Sect force, Qin Shilei returned to the Blessed Land.

He selected suitable items from the pile of purple items for himself and An Qian and the others to equip.

There were eight disposable attack and defense scroll tools.

Qin Shilei refreshed and fixed the entries one by one and then distributed them to An Qian and the others.

Two jade pendants for condensing internal vital energy were also given to An Qian and Kong Qingshu.

Two meditation cushions that calm the mind, increase cultivation speed, and reduce the risk of qi deviation were used by the four in rotation.

There were three bottles, containing a total of ten Breakthrough Pills, which increased the chance of advancing to the Platinum Realm.

One bottle, containing two Origin Breaking Pills, which increased the chance of advancing to the Diamond Realm.

One Golden Sun Ganoderma, one Heavenly Origin Fruit, and one Bodhi Flower. These three heavenly materials and earthly treasures could either enhance cultivation or increase spiritual power. However, their fruiting cycles were too long. Qin Shilei could only wait to gradually refresh and fix entries that could accelerate their growth in the future before he could utilize them.

As for the rest of the temporarily unused purple items, Qin Shilei put them all into his Qiankun Ring.

This confrontation with the Demonic Sect was a great harvest.

Qin Shilei once again took out the Soul Control Technique manual.

Soul Control Technique (Purple): When the target does not resist, a wisp of the target's soul can be extracted. Through this wisp of soul, the target's life and death can be controlled at any time.

[Do you want to refresh the entries?]

[Refresh.]

Perception (Purple): The host can perceive whether the target has ill will towards the host through that wisp of soul.

Optimization (Purple): The optimized Soul Control Technique minimizes the influence of the wisp of soul, once it is placed in the host's spiritual sea, on the host.

Skillification (Purple): This secret manual is fully skillified and can be learned instantly.

Qin Shilei thought for a moment and still chose the Optimization entry.

Although the Perception entry was also very good, Qin Shilei possessed the Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple, which allowed him to command the opponent to open their mind at any time, allowing him to completely control the opponent. Then he could investigate whether the opponent had ill will towards him.

There were three secret manuals in total: Soul Control Technique, Self-Sacrifice Art, and Demon Decomposition.

Soul Control Technique and Self-Sacrifice Art were to be learned by Qin Shilei and the three girls, An Qian, Zhang Xiaoli, and Kong Qingshu.

Demon Decomposition was to be learned only by Qin Shilei and Zhang Xiaoli.

Zhang Xiaoli picked up the tea with a pure aroma in her hand and drank it in one gulp, exclaiming, "If I had had a lot of Enlightenment Tea before, I wouldn't have had to study so hard to easily get into Tian'an University, the top school in Great Xia!"

An Qian teased, "Are you really willing to have had a lot of Enlightenment Tea back then? Then you definitely wouldn't have met Shi Lei, and perhaps you would have already turned into a zombie by now."

"Uh!" Zhang Xiaoli pouted, "An Qian, you! I was just marveling at the effects of this Enlightenment Tea, and you're cursing me to become a zombie? Watch me give you an artistic binding!"

As she spoke, she released several vines, looking eager to try.

Slap!

Qin Shilei smacked Zhang Xiaoli's perky bottom with a frustrated look, "Stop fooling around, hurry up and comprehend the secret manuals, so you don't waste the Enlightenment Tea."

Kong Qingshu clapped her hands and cheered, "Well done! Zhang Xiaoli is simply lawless. All day long she's thinking of tying us up to satisfy her twisted taste."

Zhang Xiaoli stuck out her tongue, "My two sisters, this little sister won't dare again. How about I let you tie me up instead?"

An Qian and Kong Qingshu rolled their eyes, no longer bothering with her, lest she start rambling about something else again.

Under the heaven-defying effects of the Enlightenment Tea, in less than two days, the few of them had mastered these several unique skills.

They each tried to perform Self-Sacrifice Art in turn.

They found that the duration of Self-Sacrifice Art was about ten minutes, and it could increase their own strength by three times. Furthermore, performing Self-Sacrifice Art did not affect the use of other amplifying ultimate moves.

If Qin Shilei were to perform Self-Sacrifice Art while in the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth state, the increase in strength would be terrifyingly despair-inducing.
