My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

"You two, remember to walk in the middle. Don’t run off," Qingfeng Li reminded Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin.

The Spirit Emperor Cave was very dangerous. Although it looked unintimidating, great dangers were waiting for them in the distance. Qingfeng Li had a very sharp sense, and he could already smell the scent of blood coming from afar.

The scent of blood meant that people had already been killed.

Qingfeng Li wanted to keep going but was stopped by Black Puppy.

"Don’t go," said Black Puppy.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and asked, "We need to hurry in and find treasures, why are we wasting time?"

Black Puppy reached out its paw and pointed towards the Black Wind Duo Demons’ corpses. "They were both half-step Spirit emperor realm masters, and they are definitely carrying treasures. We should grab their treasures first and then go in."

"I almost forgot." Qingfeng Li patted his forehead in realization. He was too preoccupied with entering the cave that he had forgotten about the two dead bodies.

Black Wind and Black Evil were both half-step Spirit Emperor Realm masters. Naturally, they had many treasures on them.

Qingfeng Li went towards their corpses quickly, searching their bodies. After a little while, he found a book on a cultivation technique, ten vitality stones, and ten spirit herbs.

The book was named the Nine Hellish Emperor Claws , and the vitality stones and spirit herbs were all king level.

These spirit herbs were all vital ingredients to the creation of king level elixirs. Qingfeng Li was delighted since he obtained these treasures.

Qingfeng Li placed the book on the Nine Hellish Emperor Claws within his interspatial ring, planning to sell it after he left the cave.

There were a total of ten vitality stones. Qingfeng Li gave five to Black Puppy and kept five for himself.

They had both participated in killing the Black Wind Duo Demons, so it was natural for them to split the vitality stones.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy both sat down, beginning to refine their vitality stones. These stones contained a massive amount of vital essence and could improve a self-cultivator’s abilities.

Qingfeng Li had five king level vitality stones. If he could refine all of them, he could advance four small realms and reach the ninth level of the Spirit King Realm.

"As soon as I refine these five vitality stones, I can defeat half-step Spirit Emperor Realm masters!" Qingfeng Li laughed out loud, feeling extremely excited.

Qingfeng Li placed the five vitality stones in front of him and began to chant the Heavenly Immortal Chant. The chant was a cultivation technique that could allow him to advvance and become a Heavenly Immortal.

The Heavenly Immortal Chant flowed out of his dantian and into his organs, ultimately gathering at his fingertips. His fingers touched the circular stones and absorbed in its vital essence.

A massive stream of vital essence flowed from his fingers and entered Qingfeng Li’s body.

Qingfeng Li was incredibly focused, wanting to drive all of the vital essence to his dantian, gather them there, and activate his spirit nucleus.

But in the next moment, Qingfeng Li’s Devourer Bloodline turned into a black vortex and sucked in all of the energies from the vitality stones, leaving Qingfeng Li with nothing.

"What the hell? Why did you suck in all of the vitality stone energy?" Qingfeng Li interrogated the Devourer Bloodline within his body.

Qingfeng Li’s body contained three bloodlines. One was the Devourer Bloodline, the second was the Wolf God Bloodline, and the third was the Dragon Bloodline.

Amongst the three, the most powerful was the Devourer Bloodline.

This bloodline originated from chaos. It was said that during the time where the earth was created, there were a few types of bloodlines that were powerful enough to swallow everything in the world.

Although Qingfeng Li possessed the Devourer Bloodline and could use it in his battles, sometimes, this bloodline had a mind of its own and would activate itself, eating up Qingfeng Li’s vital essence.

The Devourer Bloodline ignored Qingfeng Li and continued to suck the energy from the king level vitality stones..

Just a moment later, it had finished devouring all of the vitality stones, leaving nothing behind.

Immediately after, the Devourer Bloodline turned into a black vortex, concealing itself within the depths of Qingfeng Li’s bloodlines and returning to the state of complete lifelessness. Qingfeng Li couldn’t even feel it anymore.

Qingfeng Li called to it a couple of times but was left without an answer. He knew that the Devourer Bloodline wasn’t about to answer him.

The Devourer Bloodline was obtained from a chaotic being, and Qingfeng Li wasn’t sure of its tendencies.

Qingfeng Li stood up, looking discouraged, and completely unhappy. He had wanted to make a breakthrough using these vitality stones, but now, it appeared that his strength had remained the same.

Qingfeng Li looked towards Black Puppy and saw that its abilities had improved a lot.

Black Puppy was now a half-step Spirit Emperor Realm master, and it was stronger than Qingfeng Li.

Although he didn’t improve, Qingfeng Li was still happy that Black Puppy had gotten stronger. After all, Black Puppy was one of his helpers.

"Qingfeng Li, I’ve ingested all five king level vitality stones and my abilities have improved. Why are you still the same?" Black Puppy asked in confusion.

Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, "My body is special. The five vitality stones have little effect on me. Let’s keep going."

Black Puppy took a long look at Qingfeng Li, suspicious of his words, ultimately discarding its suspicions. There were still many treasures to be found in the depth of the cave abode.

There were three paths to take, left, center, and right. Every path was imprinted with footsteps.

This meant that all those self-cultivators had taken one of these three paths.

"Little dog, which path should we take?" Qingfeng Li asked Black Puppy with furrowed brows.

Black Puppy reached out its nose and sniffed around the entrances of all three paths. It sniffed around each path for five minutes and stopped.

"Qingfeng Li, Linger Yao entered the first path, the Old Monster of North Sea and the South Pole Spirit King entered the second, and the Void Monk and the White-Brow Daoist Master entered the third," Black puppy explained to Qingfeng Li.

Black Puppy’s nose was extremely keen on smells. When they were outside of the cave abode, Black Puppy had already remembered everyone’s scents.

Now that they were at the crossroad, Black Puppy could detect all of them with a simple sniff of its nose.

Qingfeng Li smiled lightly and said, "Since Linger Yao went into the first path, we’ll head there too."

His reasoning was simple. He was the closest to Linger Yao amongst all the self-cultivators. She was his protector, so he chose the first path.

As for the other two paths, Qingfeng Li couldn’t guarantee his safety. In the face of a spirit emperor level treasure, he could be attacked by the self-cultivators.

Qingfeng Li led the group, with Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin walking in the middle. Black Puppy walked behind them.

The path didn’t look too big from the outside, but as soon as they entered, they realized that it was gigantic. It had a width of a few dozens of meters, and its walls were carved with illustrations of all kinds of demonic beasts.

There were carvings of demonic lions, demonic tigers, demonic rabbits, demonic panthers, and many more. There was even a carving of a gigantic demonic snake.
