As my master prepared to exit his seclusion, I returned to my chamber and began examining the Black Bottle that had dropped from Mo Xiu. The Black Liquid inside emitted a pungent odor, raising my suspicions. My intuition told me it was closely related to You Ying's conspiracy.
I placed the bottle on the table and scrutinized it carefully. The material of the bottle was peculiar, its surface engraved with strange runes that subtly radiated a dark aura. I attempted to probe the liquid within using my spiritual energy, but as soon as I made contact, a powerful magical force rebounded, nearly causing my energy to spiral out of control.
"What on earth is this?" I furrowed my brow, filled with confusion. I decided to start with the runes on the bottle to find a way to decipher them. I sifted through numerous ancient texts in Immortal sect and finally found some clues in an old book about formations. These runes seemed related to an ancient Magic Array that Mo Xiu had once used to concoct a nefarious potion.
According to the records in the ancient texts, if this Evil Potion were successfully brewed, it would severely corrode a cultivator's spiritual energy and could even control their mind. A chill ran down my spine—could it be that You Ying and Mo Xiu intended to use this potion against the people of Immortal sect?
To verify my suspicion, I decided to take a risk. I carefully set up layers of defensive barriers around the room to ensure everything was secure. Then, using my celestial techniques, I extracted a drop of Black Liquid from the bottle and placed it in a specially designed container.
I concentrated my spiritual energy again and slowly approached the container holding the Black Liquid, attempting to analyze its components. The moment my energy touched the Black Liquid, it began to churn violently as if it were alive, trying to break free from my control. Gritting my teeth, I increased the output of my spiritual energy, striving to suppress its resistance.
After a grueling effort, I finally managed to analyze some components of the Black Liquid. It contained rare Magic Plants and Magic Crystals that could only be found deep within the demon realm, possessing extraordinarily potent magical power. Another primary component turned out to be a specially treated Celestial Gate Spirit Object.
"They're actually using Celestial Gate Spirit Objects to brew Evil Potions—how despicable!" I exclaimed angrily. I realized that concocting this potion required not only immense magical support but also familiarity with Celestial Gate Spirit Objects. This indicated that there must be an insider within Immortal sect assisting them in acquiring these spiritual materials.
As I pondered this, the Black Liquid suddenly changed. It began emitting thick Black Smoke, within which eerie figures started to emerge. These figures clawed at me as they lunged forward. I quickly cast a protective shield using celestial techniques to fend off their attacks.
"Hmph, mere tricks," I scoffed as I formed seals with my hands and unleashed a Purification Technique. The light from the Purification Technique illuminated the Black Smoke, causing the figures within it to scream in agony before gradually dissipating. However, the Black Liquid did not cease its transformation; instead, it became even thicker and emitted stronger waves of magical energy.
I knew I had to find a way to completely unravel it; otherwise, if it got out of control, the consequences would be dire. Delving deeper into the ancient texts, I discovered a potentially effective method for breaking it—merging celestial power with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to form a powerful purifying force that could be injected into the Black Liquid.
I stepped out of my chamber and into the courtyard. Sitting cross-legged, I summoned all my celestial energy while absorbing the spiritual essence from around me. As my celestial power and spiritual energy continued to converge, a massive Energy Vortex formed around me. I slowly guided this energy into my hands, creating an energy sphere that radiated brilliant light.
Rising cautiously with the energy sphere in hand, I returned to my chamber and brought it close to the Black Liquid. The moment the energy sphere touched the Black Liquid, it emitted strong resistance, attempting to repel the sphere away. Gritting my teeth again, I pushed with all my might, gradually merging the sphere into the Black Liquid.
As the energy sphere integrated into the Black Liquid, it struggled and resisted continuously; however, under the influence of my powerful celestial energy and purifying force, its strength began to wane. Finally, with a faint explosion sound, the Black Liquid transformed into a cloud of white smoke that dissipated into thin air.
I let out a sigh of relief; I had successfully unraveled the Evil Potion within the Black Bottle. Yet I knew this was just the beginning—more conspiracies awaited me to uncover. Carefully storing away the bottle, I prepared to inform my master of this discovery; perhaps he could find more clues regarding You Ying's plot from it.
