Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 124 Binding and Summoning Souls

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. Anyway, if I leave the well water lying around, others will covet it."

"I'll gladly accept it!"

Wang Teng suddenly felt a little embarrassed; it was that same guilt of getting something for nothing again, the dead memories attacking him once more.

With a wave of his hand, he created a vortex, and the Earthly Holy Spring water was quickly sucked into his personal space. At this moment, the entire personal space was empty, with only the space magic crystal remaining.

At the very bottom of the space, the Holy Spring quickly appeared, and the amount of water increased rapidly.

Without any hesitation, Wang Teng introduced the Earthly Sacred Spring into his body. Upon smelling the aroma of the Earthly Sacred Spring water, his body immediately cheered with joy.

As he eagerly absorbed the large amounts of the Earthly Sacred Spring, Wang Teng felt his blood circulation accelerate and his control over demonic power was increasing!

In other words, his bloodline was being tempered, and the connection between his body and magical energy was becoming stronger.

In the past, when manipulating the void, the feeling of obstruction would decrease as his strength increased. However, the Earthly Holy Spring directly pierced through this obstruction, making him feel as if he had become one with space.

Wang Teng stood in the void, his body shimmering with silver light.

"Requires spatial attribute energy..."

He suddenly sensed something. As the Earthly Holy Spring continued to flow into his body, the quality of his abundant demonic power increased rapidly. The demonic power permeated every corner of his body, every bone, every segment of bone marrow, every muscle, and every cell...

He immediately absorbed the ten spatial magic crystals, replenishing his spatial magic energy.

Wang Teng's aura was constantly increasing, and even the slightest tremor of his body would cause fluctuations in the void.

However, his cultivation level remained at the advanced stage of commander, with no sign of breaking through to the next level.

The Earthly Holy Spring was not inexhaustible; it was quickly swallowed up by him, and the well became a dry well.

It was originally non-renewable, so this is just a one-time use up.

Wang Teng continued to draw upon the Earthly Sacred Spring within his body, and after half an hour, it was completely exhausted.

The blood, flowing like a torrent, seemed to be cleansing my entire body, making a roaring sound as the water surged. This process lasted for a full two hours.

Once his blood had completely calmed down, Wang Teng's terrifying aura gradually subsided, and his strength reached the peak of the advanced stage commander.

"As expected of the Earthly Sacred Spring, the harvest this time is truly immense. The path to becoming a monarch has been opened, and so this is what bloodline power is all about."

Wang Teng felt as if the entire void was resonating with him, and the past barriers were no longer perceptible.

Moreover, he imprinted the demonic technique of Void Stealth into his bloodline. If there are descendants who inherit his power, they will be able to use Void Stealth instinctively.

It's like the innate talent of demons.

There is a limit to the number of these marks; more is not necessarily better. The more complex the mark, the higher the requirements for the user. To use it, it needs to be extracted.

The fewer the brandings, the more instinctively one will use them; no genius is required.

"Even after being branded, it remains extremely important to me. This ability will continue to activate my bloodline as I use it."

"Moreover, it can continuously deepen the depth and height of the bloodline, making the connection with spatial magic energy even closer, and the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, making it easier to play."

"This mark is more like a key, a treasure key to unlocking the power of bloodline and deepening the level of bloodline."

He suddenly understood how to proceed to the Monarch level of the Demon Path.

His strength had increased dramatically, and after consuming the Earthly Sacred Spring, he had essentially accomplished his purpose in coming to the ancient capital.

However, he is currently heavily in debt and needs to replenish his wallet.

The Qinling Mountains are an excellent hunting ground, where the spirits of the dead are almost endless.

He could try to get more spirit essence and necromancy crystals, as these two items are the most valuable resources.

Looking towards the Qinling Mountains, the darkness there seemed even deeper, as if it had swallowed up all living things.

Wang Teng's figure disappeared, and he rushed directly into the Qinling Mountains. The undead outside were generally weak, and there were relatively few at the commander level.

He was too lazy to search the plains, and if he made too much noise and caused a riot of the undead, it would be a disaster for those villages.

Entering the Qinling Mountains is a great option; he can do whatever he wants there.

After going several kilometers deeper, he immediately saw undead creatures roaming in groups in the ravine.

The leader of that hundreds of undead was none other than a commander-level undead, along with ten warrior-level undead and hundreds of servant-level undead.

"Void Forbidden Zone!"

"Binding and summoning spirits!"

Wang Teng arrived in front of the commander-level undead and casually conjured a demonic spell, imprisoning the space within a radius of several hundred meters.

It wasn't just mind-based magic; he also possessed the oppressive aura of a peak-stage advanced commander, and with a wave of his hand, he extracted the soul of that commander-level undead.

A phantom soul was pulled out. After losing its undead remains and having its consciousness scattered, the soul quickly shrank into a spirit.

"Hehe~ This method really works!"

Wang Teng happily took out the Soul Vessel, put the Commander's essence into it, and then stored it in his body space.

Then, the souls of the ten warrior-level undead were extracted one by one and transformed into essences, but there were only 5 essences in total. The rest were remnants, which were all absorbed into the body's internal space.

"As long as you don't kill them, your soul won't be damaged, and you won't suffer soul depletion from the frenzied battle."

"The probability of obtaining a spirit has been greatly increased!"

"Moreover, they basically have all the undead crystals. The commander-level ones should be worth around 20 million, and the warrior-level ones are estimated to be worth several million."

Wang Teng left the place feeling quite pleased with himself. He no longer looked down on these servant-level beings. Even warrior-level beings only had a 50% chance of producing spirit essence, so servant-level beings were even less worth considering.

With that time, he could easily find much more by searching around.

The Qinling Mountains are vast and teeming with the dead, as the numerous burial sites here make it easy for undead creatures to form.

Before long, he encountered another group of wandering undead. Following the same pattern, he obtained another Commander-level spirit essence and six Warrior-level spirit essences, along with the undead crystals on their bodies.

Wang Teng relentlessly dismantled undead creatures within the Qinling Mountains, plundering their essence and undead crystals.

Several hours later, he had collected 20 Commander-level Soul Essences, 110 Warrior-level Soul Essences, 20 Commander-level Undead Crystals, and 230 Warrior-level Crystals.

As for the remnants of the soul he obtained, he devoured their essence, significantly raising his soul level.

"Strange, why are there no Grand Commander-level undead, or even advanced-stage Commander-level undead? Why are they all Commander-level undead?"

"Are they all sleeping?"

"Or maybe I made too little noise and it didn't attract attention?"

Wang Teng sat on a rock atop a mountain peak, struggling to restore his magical energy, which was nearly depleted.

I used mind magic so frequently that my hands got numb from collecting spirit essences.

Fortunately, the Star Sea Magic Artifact, combined with the Star Circulation Structure, boasts an unparalleled speed of magic energy recovery, with the magic energy within the galaxy visibly increasing.
