Scheming

Under Li Qing's mental control, the Dark Willow Spirit Puppet, which had already lost all vitality, seemed to come back to life, its willow branches wrapping around the Demon Infant Li Qing had thrown out.

The next moment, the Demon Infant, which had originally looked as lively as a miniature ancient demon, shriveled at an astonishing speed.

The Dark Willow Spirit Puppet had actually devoured the Demon Infant's origin. Its indiscriminate appetite, swallowing meat and vegetables alike, left even Li Qing dumbfounded.

The Wood Spirit Puppet was under his control, and Li Qing could clearly sense the changes in the Dark Willow.

The enormous Dark Willow's trunk, already dim and pitch-black, seemed to grow even darker after devouring the Demon Infant. Faint black qi coiled around it.

"The Spirit Puppet seems able to use some ancient demon divine abilities now. A mass of pure Origin Demonic Energy has accumulated within its trunk."

"No, something else has been secreted too?!"

In Li Qing's perception, ink-black tender buds had actually sprouted from the Dark Willow's branches.

These buds could be plucked off and resembled fruits somewhat, but Li Qing did not know what they were for.

"Interesting. The mysterious power contained in these buds is rather strange. It is neither Spiritual Power nor demonic qi, and its nature is extremely unique!"

Li Qing observed them carefully. He even plucked some and examined them closely in his hand, yet he could never identify what they were.

He decided to collect a portion for now and leave the rest growing on the willow branches.

Though he did not know their use, he had a feeling these things might be extraordinarily valuable.

After all, they were something that had formed only after refining an ancient demon's Demon Infant, and they contained a peculiar secret power!
