Searching for Dark Cuisine

When Lucifer appeared again, he had already arrived in Qian Renxue's Spiritual Space.

After Qian Renxue became a Soul Master, this Spiritual Space was no longer a vast expanse of white. Instead, it radiated a golden glow!

At that moment, Qian Renxue was meditating and cultivating, no longer pondering how to recreate the flavor from her time in the Star Dou Great Forest.

She sat cross-legged, her back straight as a sword, her hands folded atop her knees as pale golden Soul Power flowed around her fingertips.

When Lucifer returned to the Spiritual Space, she sensed it as well.

Suddenly, Qian Renxue heard a voice ring out of nowhere in her mind—

"Little thing, come here!"

"Lucifer!" Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised. "Come where?"

"Of course, come to your Spiritual Space!"

"My Spiritual Space?" Qian Renxue had never learned about such a thing.

Thus, Lucifer could only teach her on the spot. "Sink your consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness and sense where I am!"

His explanation was rather vague, but Qian Renxue was extremely intelligent and quickly grasped it.

Her consciousness manifested within a golden space.

"This... is my Spiritual Space?" she murmured.

"That's right!"

Hearing the voice, Qian Renxue turned around and saw Lucifer, the one who had spoken.

"So this is where you usually stay!"

Lucifer nodded.

"Why did you call me here?"

Lucifer pointed at the place, which contained nothing but gold. "Don't you think this place is far too monotonous?"

Originally, he had only wanted to act as a supervisor for a while and see whether Qian Renxue had been slacking off.

But after returning to this space, the more he looked at it, the more displeased he became!

"Monotonous?" Qian Renxue looked utterly confused. "What do you mean?"

"Decorate this space!"

"This can be decorated? How?"

"This is your Spiritual Space. It is completely under your control!"

Lucifer explained, "Whatever you imagine it to be, it will become!"

"Completely under my control..." Qian Renxue fell into thought, then gave Lucifer a meaningful look.

Lucifer saw through her thoughts at once. "Don't bother! I'm not included!"

Qian Renxue's gaze immediately dimmed.

Seeing this, Lucifer teased, "Actually, it's not like there's no way for you to control me!"

"Whether inside the Spiritual Space or outside!"

"Hm?" Qian Renxue did not understand why Lucifer was telling her this.

Wasn't that tying his own hands?

Still, she asked curiously, "What way?"

"Cultivate your Spiritual Power properly! As long as your Spiritual Power is stronger than mine, you can control me!"

Qian Renxue perked up.

If that were true, then she would have to put in twelve times the effort to cultivate her Spiritual Power!

Lucifer had not lied to her. It was indeed true!

However, even if Qian Renxue cultivated for eight lifetimes, her Spiritual Power could never surpass Lucifer's!

Even in his weakened state as a soul body, Lucifer had been enough to make Qian Daoliu deeply wary.

That level of Spiritual Power Intensity was simply beyond Qian Renxue's reach!

So she would never be able to use this method!

Yet Qian Renxue was incredibly excited and planned to find Qian Daoliu tomorrow to verify whether Lucifer's words were trustworthy.

Lucifer urged, "Stop dawdling! Hurry up and decorate this space!"

"Fine!"

Qian Renxue had no intention of refusing such a trivial request.

She closed her eyes and imagined it.

At once, the golden space changed drastically, transforming into the Elder Hall in the blink of an eye.

"The place I'm most familiar with is the Elder Hall, so I turned this place into its likeness!"

"Mm!" Lucifer did not particularly care.

"Get me a reclining chair too, preferably black!"

"Okay!"

Then, a black reclining chair appeared beside Lucifer, with golden flowing patterns along its backrest.

He nodded in satisfaction. "Good taste!"

Qian Renxue beamed happily at the praise.

Lucifer curled up in the reclining chair and began enjoying himself.

Qian Renxue also resumed her meditation and cultivation.

However, Lucifer's thoughts did not stop.

He once again considered how to expand his range of activity.

After all, he wanted to keep stirring things up. He could not keep revolving around Qian Renxue forever!

Moreover, Qian Renxue was still young. She would definitely have to devote most of her time to cultivation rather than following him around everywhere.

As he pondered, he thought of a martial soul somewhat similar to himself—

Yu Xiaogang's mutated useless martial soul, Three-Pao the Cannon!

Three-Pao the Cannon was likewise a Detached Independent Spirit.

Every time it used a soul skill, it consumed a great deal of Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power, making him unable to last long.

However, Three-Pao the Cannon could reduce its Soul Power consumption by eating food.

White radishes were especially effective!

After eating white radishes, it could quickly recover from the expenditure of a single attack!

Lucifer muttered, "Although that mutated trash, Three-Pao the Cannon, is nowhere near worthy of comparison with me!"

"It does have a form similar to mine!"

"It can reduce Soul Power consumption and accelerate Soul Power recovery by eating food. Does that mean I can do the same?"

Lucifer thought it was highly possible!

"Three-Pao the Cannon attacks by farting, so it needs fart-inducing food like radishes!"

"Although I do not need to eat in order to assist my attacks, I can still take inspiration from that line of thought!"

"My power is the Dark Attribute, so if I eat some Dark Attribute food..."

"Could it reduce Soul Power consumption and accelerate Soul Power recovery?"

"Could it even expand my range of activity?"

The more Lucifer thought about it, the more promising the idea seemed.

"I'll try it tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Lucifer emerged from Qian Renxue's Spiritual Space.

He casually took the Great Enshrined Token from Qian Renxue's room, then leisurely left the Elder Hall and headed to the Spirit Hall's Archive Room.

After thinking it over yesterday, he concluded that food that could truly be classified as having the Dark Attribute should be Soul Beasts!

Upon entering the Archive Room, he took out a copy of the Compendium of Soul Beasts and began reading it carefully.

"Dark Attribute Soul Beasts... let me see..."

"Ghost Soul Beast!"

"Hell Spirit Cat!"

"Ghost Tiger!"

"Man Faced Demon Spider!"

"Cave Demon Spider!"

"Evil Spirit Orca!"

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"

"..."

Lucifer discovered that Douluo Continent actually had quite a few Soul Beasts with the Dark Attribute!

"I'll find one that's easy to catch and test it first!"

After some consideration, Lucifer settled on the Ghost Tiger!

Ghost Tigers were high-level Soul Beasts, so their quality was guaranteed, yet they were not as difficult to catch as something on the level of a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

They were perfect for an experiment.

Having made up his mind, Lucifer left the Archive Room.

"I'll grab some muscle first!"

On the way, Lucifer casually seized a Spirit Saint.

"You are?" The Spirit Saint looked at him in confusion.

Lucifer shoved the Great Enshrined Token in front of him.

The Spirit Saint hurriedly bowed. "This subordinate failed to recognize you. May I ask your esteemed name?"

"Just call me Lord Lucifer!"

"Lord Lucifer!" The Spirit Saint racked his brains, yet could not recall when Spirit Hall had gained such a person!

"May I ask what orders you have, my lord?"

"Go to the Star Dou Great Forest right now and catch a Ghost Tiger for me!"
