"I never said I wanted you to be interested in me! Miss, please, don’t be so overconfident, okay?"
"A woman with a figure like yours, I’m not interested!"
After saying that, Chu Feng didn’t care that Lin Shiyi was furiously mad, he just lowered his head and continued reading the stone stele.
Truly, the runes on these ancient texts are extremely old and come in a variety. Even Chu Feng found them hard to handle, reading and translating the meanings of the runes took a lot of time.
Lin Shiyi was infuriated by Chu Feng, snorting coldly, "Let’s see how long you can keep up this pretense?" She believed that Chu Feng, putting on an act, would definitely skulk away after loitering for one or two hours.
She angrily went about her own business.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Chu Feng stayed in the Second Level of Sword Pavilion all this time, poring over these ancient scriptures. Sometimes, it would take several hours to fully translate and understand the runes on a single stone stele.
Reading these texts was indeed a significant gain for Chu Feng.
He took the opportunity to learn many secrets from Ancient Times.
During this period, that pretty librarian Lin Shiyi stole glances at Chu Feng numerous times. Unfortunately, it seemed as if Chu Feng was doing it on purpose to contend with her, staying there all along.
Finally, on the sixteenth day, Chu Feng was ecstatic, holding a bone piece over three meters tall and laughing wildly to the sky.
"Haha... Finally found it, I’ve found it!"
His sudden behavior startled everyone.
After spending a full sixteen days, effort doesn’t betray the diligent, and Chu Feng finally found the text recording the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique.
This huge Demon Bone, with Ancient Runes carved on it, exactly records the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique.
According to the records, this terrible Evil Technique belongs to the high-grade Witchcraft of the Demon Clan. To cast this Witchcraft, it comes at a steep price; you must undergo Heavenly Demon Disintegration and sacrifice most of your True Demon Blood to succeed.
Once afflicted with this technique, even a Daluo Golden Immortal couldn’t resist. They would be slowly devoured by their own Devil Thought from within, eventually turning into a demon.
Don’t think that after transforming into a demon, you are still yourself.
Since it’s called Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique, of course, it lives up to its name.
After Chu Feng was devoured in his soul by his own Devil Thought, it would be as if he had eradicated himself. After transforming into a demon, he would no longer be Chu Feng, but would become the Second Demon Body of the Ancient Horn Sore Demon.
Also known as Body Transformation.
Strong members of the Ancient Demon Clan like to use this technique to cultivate a Second Demon Body.
After they select a target, they would pay a huge price to cast this Evil Technique. Then, they just need to wait patiently.
In other words, if Chu Feng was afflicted with the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique, there’s basically no cure, he could only wait for death.
On this huge bone, there just happened to be a solution recorded.
An ancient secret technique passed down from Ancient Times, named Taoist Demon Split Soul Technique. After cultivating this technique, one can split their Divine Soul into two parts. Essentially, apart from the original self, one could possess another Demon Soul Clone.
This way, the problem is well resolved.
No need to worry about being devoured by the Devil Thought anymore.
At the same time, you could also have a Demon Soul Clone.
It’s just that this Demon Bone also mentioned, the Taoist Demon Split Soul Technique, as a lost High Grade Secret Technique, is extremely difficult to learn.
"Are you out of your mind? This is the Archive Room on the Second Floor of the Sword Pavilion. Please mind your behavior and don’t yell like a lunatic," Lin Shiyi arrived immediately, her pretty face so cold that one could scrape a layer of frost off it.
She was already furious with Chu Feng and hadn’t found a chance to deal with him yet.
Now, Chu Feng dared to make loud noises and cause a commotion on her turf, seriously affecting others’ reading of the scriptures and Cultivation Techniques.
She naturally seized the opportunity to give Chu Feng a harsh lesson.
"Sorry, just too excited! You know, I just can’t help but get overly excited when I see a beauty."
Chu Feng found a solution, and his tense Divine Soul also relaxed a bit.
In his good mood, he decided to flirt with this little girl with a cold face.
Lin Shiyi felt humiliated by his flirting, her expression even colder.
"Miss here knew she wasn’t wrong. You are indeed scheming against me, deliberately perusing these ancient texts from the Dragon Han Period to display your extensive knowledge. Then you expect me to take a liking to you."
Lin Shiyi believed her guess was spot on.
"If Miss here didn’t know your real intentions, I might have really been deceived by you."
"But now, all the pretense you’ve put up for the past sixteen days has been a waste of effort and scheming."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, confident that she had pierced through Chu Feng’s facade. A smug smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Moreover, as more people gathered around to watch, she decided to publicly slap Chu Feng’s face.
Chu Feng was speechless; this girl was really something else with her presumptuousness.
"I..." Chu Feng decided to defend himself briefly. If Han Xiaoying heard about this, it would be bad as it could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Han Xiaoying was especially jealous.
"What ’I’! Still want to argue? In front of Miss here, you should keep your sweet talk to yourself!"
"And don’t be disgruntled, tell me, what does this Rune mean?"
Lin Shiyi pointed at the first Rune on a stone stele and asked.
These Runes were precisely the ones Elder Ge Qing had explained during his last research visit. She remembered them clearly.
It was the perfect chance to test Chu Feng and expose his true colors.
Chu Feng turned his head and saw that the stele she was pointing to was the most simple one among all the steles. However, Chu Feng always kept a low profile and couldn’t be bothered to compete with a woman, finding it meaningless.
"I don’t recognize it, are you satisfied now?" Chu Feng said indifferently.
"Haha... How about that, did everyone hear clearly? He said he doesn’t recognize it. See, I told you, he’s just a layman without a clue. Pretending to be a knowledgeable and talented man here..."
After hearing Chu Feng’s response, Lin Shiyi couldn’t help but laugh even more smugly.
Just at that moment, Elder Ge Qing and others walked in. The sect disciples who saw them immediately paid respectful salutations.
"Chu Feng! You’re indeed here!"
Ge Qing and Pu Li walked over, looking travel-worn.
"We pursued that escaped Ancient Demon all the way to the border of Dan State. In the end, it got away. It fled towards the Divine Martial Continent!" Pu Li said somewhat disheartened.
"The Ancient Demon is cunning and extremely powerful. After using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration, it temporarily loses its demon body, making it more agile in escape. It’s normal that the Sect Master and several Supreme Elders couldn’t catch it."
Hearing that the Ancient Demon had escaped, Chu Feng felt slightly heavy-hearted.
He then turned to comfort Pu Li and the others.
"By the way, Chu Feng, did you find any records about the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique in the ancient texts?"
Pu Li asked with concern.
