Chapter 88: Demonic and Righteous Sects
The middle stage Energy Gatherers Li Lang had fought so far could only send out range attacks. Doing so did not require controlling their Qi at range. They simply needed to send it out, akin to throwing a rock. Right after they throw it, they would lose control of their Qi.
However, late-stage Energy Gatherers were different. They could control their Qi attacks even after firing them off. That was because they could control the Qi even when it was a distance away from their body.
This allowed for more complicated techniques and accuracy. It opened cultivators up to an entirely new category of Qi arts.
The Blood Qi Dissolution Art was part of this new category of techniques.
A lot of the texts went over how they actually carry out this technique, and not a lot of it was on the theory. There was enough of it for Li Lang to realize how hard it was to drain the Qi out of things.
The blood techniques weren’t something he could easily learn, as it was a special technique practiced by the Bloodwave Conclave. That was why he repeatedly took trips from the artifact space and reality to copy down the contents. He believed it could still prove useful as reference material in the future.
By the time he was done copying over the manual, it was deep into the night. Li Lang quickly went to bed.
Throughout the next three days, the trio stayed at the Bloodwave Conclave. They performed the same duties, as Tai Xilun had already arranged various meetings. They still tested the DNA of these guests, despite already having found their match, just to be safe.
On the fourth day, all the meetings were completed. They found themselves with some free time, as they were warned not to wander. The last thing they needed was someone questioning their presence.
They spent the time redoubling their efforts in their training. They all had martial arts and Qi arts to practice, as they were far from true mastery of any of them.
As they trained, only Huang Si came to see them. Tai Xilun had been too busy with his shadowing of the culprit they had discovered. Still, unbeknownst to the trio, Tai Xilun had kept his promise and had been keeping a watch over them.
It was at the end of the week that they finally came face to face with Tai Xilun once more.
