Spirit Essence Harvest, Slaughtering the Black Flood Pavilion

Mo Fan's angle was excellent, and he managed to blast all the gravel away from its original position.

As the gravel broke apart, it revealed something resembling a sewer grate, but Mo Fan knew it was the entrance to a basement, and one without any magical seals.

This was great. Mo Fan had been worried about magical seals, as those would make it obvious to the Magic Association personnel that the items were stolen rather than destroyed by demonic beasts after the disaster.

Mo Fan looked up and around, and seeing no one else, he lifted the circular cover with one hand and slipped inside.

It was pitch black below. Mo Fan descended the stairs, igniting a small flame in his hand to provide light.

What greeted him was a renovated passageway. Once Mo Fan reached the bottom, he discovered a dark stone hall.

This was where the Magic Association and the Hunter's Union stored their valuable items. Mo Fan anxiously followed the instructions to the Spirit Essence section, as the external magic energy had been severed, causing the internal containment seals to break.

Fortunately, Mo Fan had arrived in time, and the Spirit Essences had not yet dissipated!

Three General-level Spirit Essences and sixteen Servant-level Spirit Essences. For Bo City, this was a considerable stock.

Including the Spirit Essences in Little Loach's spatial dimension, Mo Fan now possessed seventeen Servant-level Spirit Essences.

Celestial Spirit Codex – General level.

Mo Fan shifted his gaze to the Red Moon Thunder Demon's soul shadow, guiding a General-level Spirit Essence into the soul shadow's chest, which suddenly illuminated the Dark Star at its center.

[Red Moon Thunder Source]

Within the Lightning Element Star Cloud in his mental space, a blood-red moon suddenly materialized. Its sinister red light swept across the entire Star Cloud, piercing through the misty stardust.

This was the lightning power controlled by the Red Moon Thunder Demon. Its might far surpassed ordinary Spirit Seeds, though it lacked the bonus effects.

Mo Fan then looked at his other soul shadows. He no longer lacked main combat skills; what he lacked were passive skills.

Mo Fan's attention turned to the Ling Clan. Among the numerous types of Ling, there was a peculiar kind called the Star Realm Envoy.

Star Realm Envoys had no combat ability, but they possessed strong auxiliary capabilities. After forming a contract with another being, they could significantly enhance that being's abilities.

The Star Realm Envoy's soul shadow contained five Dark Stars. Mo Fan guided a General-level Spirit Essence into the soul shadow, silently illuminating the Dark Stars.

[Magic Spring]

The ability of the Star Realm Envoy's first Dark Star was named Magic Spring. It opened a spring of Magic Energy within Mo Fan's mental universe. The Magic Spring served as an additional storage for Magic Energy. Two beams of light extended from the center of the spring, tethering the Lightning Element Star Cloud and the Fire Element Star Cloud.

Mo Fan left the remaining General-level Spirit Essence untouched, saving it for unforeseen circumstances.

He then dragged the fourteen Servant-level Spirit Essences into the Star Seeds of the two magic elements, strengthening the Lightning Seal and Fire Seed to level four.

Truly, one could not get rich without ill-gotten gains, nor could a horse get fat without eating night fodder.

He recalled that in his previous life, he had only upgraded the Fire Seed to level four after returning from Dongting Lake. Now, it was effortless; both the Lightning Seal and Fire Seed had reached level four.

After Mo Fan collected the Lingering Soul Remnants, he went in search of other treasures.

Such a large hall must contain more than just Spirit Essences; there had to be other treasures like exotic bones, exotic blood, Magic Tools, or Magic Artifacts.

Mo Fan searched for a long time and did find exotic blood and exotic bones. As for Magic Tools and Magic Artifacts, he didn't even see a shadow of them.

Mo Fan packed up the exotic blood and exotic bones. He would soon awaken his Summoning Element, and these items would be useful to him.

After circling the area a few times and finding nothing else, Mo Fan headed back towards the surface.

He pushed open the grate-like entrance and was suddenly met by a black figure. A foul, stench-filled, scythe-like arm swung towards Mo Fan's neck and carotid artery!

Black Flood Pavilion!!

A flash of horror crossed Mo Fan's eyes.

Behind the Black Beast Demon stood Li Jing, her gaze filled with malice and venom as she smiled. She had been hiding on the second floor, watching Mo Fan's every move.

When Mo Fan found the entrance to the hall, her face was etched with greed. However, unsure of what was happening below, she had ordered the Black Beast Demon to lie in wait nearby, ready to strike Mo Fan the moment he emerged!

The Black Beast Demon swung its arm ferociously, already imagining the sight of its claws slicing through blood vessels, the sound of gushing blood being so beautiful.

But after such a long time, why hadn't the hot blood sprayed out yet?

The Black Beast Demon's emerald green eyes went blank. Mo Fan stood before it, completely unharmed, a crimson, enchanting lightning crackling in his palm.

"Crimson Moon · Lightning Seal · Fury Strike!!"

Mo Fan raised his hand as if responding to a heavenly decree. Crimson lightning flashed, casting an unusually sinister glow on Mo Fan's face.

The crimson lightning was unleashed from Mo Fan's hand and struck the Black Beast Demon.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~~ Gurgle!"

Upon contact with the lightning, the Black Beast Demon immediately trembled, letting out an anxious shriek as its body convulsed violently.

"So, even you disgusting things are afraid."

Mo Fan activated [Bloodthirsty Soul Extraction]. The Blood-robed Fierce Ghost's soul shadow materialized beside Mo Fan. Its slender, pale ghost hand reached into the Black Beast Demon's abdomen with a hint of disgust.

The Black Beast Demon visibly recoiled in horror, its internal meridians bulging as if it were enduring immense pain.

Seeing the Black Beast Demon in agony, Li Jing's face contorted in fear. She took a few steps back and looked at Mo Fan, stammering, "Who… who are you?"

Mo Fan sneered and looked up, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "The one who will kill you. Don't rush, it will be your turn soon enough."

The Blood-robed Fierce Ghost slowly withdrew its arm. As it did, the Black Beast Demon's trembling intensified, but its body began to shrink.

When the Blood-robed Fierce Ghost extracted the Black Beast Demon's Spirit Essence, the demon's corpse became a desiccated husk, skin and bones.

"Ah—" Li Jing screamed.

How could this young man feel more like a Black Flood Pavilion than herself? She had never heard of these methods, but they were definitely not legitimate magic.

After dealing with the Black Beast Demon, Mo Fan immediately walked towards Li Jing. With an innocent look in his eyes, he grabbed her by the neck and said, "Black Flood Pavilion? If you fall into my hands, do you think you can survive?"

Li Jing hadn't expected Mo Fan to be so strong. As soon as he grabbed her neck, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Her legs kicked frantically, trying to break free from Mo Fan's grip, but it was useless!

[Bloodthirsty Soul Extraction]

Mo Fan used this demonic art again. The Blood-robed Fierce Ghost eagerly floated towards Li Jing. It was exactly the same as how she had dealt with the Black Beast Demon, making her taste the agony of being cut into a thousand pieces before extracting her Spirit Essence.

This conflict brought Mo Fan's servant Spirit Essence back to five.

After killing Li Jing, Mo Fan stomped up to the second floor. The second floor was the Awakening Room, meaning all the Awakening Stones were kept there.

Mo Fan then entered an Awakening Room. He checked if the energy of the Awakening Stone was full. After observing that no one else was around, he placed his hand on the Awakening Stone.

Familiar feeling, familiar routine.

Soon, Mo Fan opened his eyes. A tiny Dark Star Dust appeared in his palm. It was indeed the Shadow Element.

As the Shadow Element disappeared, another transparent Star Seed floated up. It was the Summoning Element.
