Chen Hao stood outside the formation and watched calmly.
Naturally, he did this not to cruelly torture the nightmare monsters, but as a necessary process to obtain the nightmare monster abilities.
Chen Hao didn't have any sympathy for the strangeness of nightmares.
Monsters and monsters have always been the natural enemies of mankind. Sympathy for monsters is no different from being anti-human.
Under the burning of the mental flame, the nightmare's strange body trembled more and more intensely, and there were faint signs of being uncontrollable, as if it was about to explode.
This is a common stress response among demons.
Just like being imprisoned by humans or other creatures for too long and unable to escape, the demon will commit suicide in despair.
It seems that he is unwilling to surrender even to death, but it is actually a characteristic that means he endures less pain.
After all, there is no pain after death.
Of course, not only monsters, but humans and other races or creatures also have similar stress reactions. In despair, they will choose to commit suicide.
It's just that demons are more common.
Upon seeing this, Chen Hao picked up the copper bowl filled with yellowish clear liquid from the ground and raised it slightly.
Part of the liquid was poured out and evenly sprinkled on the nightmare's weird body.
The nightmare's weird and violent trembling body stopped instantly, as if a person full of anger had a bucket of ice water poured in front of him and calmed down.
This is a juice specifically formulated by Chen Hao based on secret techniques for the mental and physical body. It has many effects such as calming, indifference, and numbness.
In other words, it is equivalent to a modern anesthetic.
I anesthetized you directly, and you still have a bad stress reaction?
Even during surgery, you can't feel any pain. You can only let the flames burn you and watch yourself turn into charcoal little by little, but nothing happens.
The same is true for weird nightmares. After being anesthetized by the juice, the stress response disappears instantly.
However, as the mental flame burned, the effect of the juice gradually faded, and the nightmare trembled again, becoming more and more intense.
So Chen Hao picked up the copper bowl again and poured some juice into it.
The nightmare is weird yet down to earth.
How many times is this the case?
The weird nightmare cannot escape, nor can it be killed by stress, it can only bear the burning of the mental flame alive.
Gradually, its body began to shrink.
Originally like smoke and mist, like a strange bird, it kept shrinking and took on a spherical shape.
Time passed bit by bit.
Just when the juice in Chen Hao's copper bowl was almost gone, the strange nightmare completely shrank into a ball the size of a pigeon egg.
The sphere is not like smoke or mist, but it is illusory and transparent, as if it is between reality and illusion, hazy and fuzzy, and I don't know whether it really exists.
If you concentrate and look carefully, you will find that the ball is getting bigger and bigger, and the illusion inside is infinite and all-encompassing. You are mentally addicted, unable to extricate yourself, and completely plunged into a nightmare world.
This is the inner elixir of spiritual power formed by the strange nightmare that was burned by the flame of spiritual power. After pain and suffering, all impurities were finally burned away, leaving only the pure essence of the origin of life.
For mental and physical weirdness, only by using this method can you get the inner elixir.
Other methods are useless.
Chen Hao raised the copper bowl and poured the last bit of juice onto Nightmare's weird mental elixir.
The spiritual inner elixir trembled, as if it had been bathed in willow fairy juice, becoming more crystal clear and dreamlike.
The flame of the mental power formation turned into light again, then slowly dropped, and finally went out and stopped functioning.
The spiritual stones around the array have turned gray, and all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth inside has been used up.
Chen Hao stretched out his hand and made a move, and the spiritual inner elixir floated out of the formation silently and stopped in front of him.
With a thought in Chen Hao's mind, his soul left his body, opened his mouth and swallowed the inner elixir of spiritual power.
The inner elixir of spiritual power cannot be touched in kind. Monks can only swallow it with Yuanying or Yuanshen.
What?
What would you do if you don’t have Nascent Soul?
That’s not easy, you can’t swallow it! Not just any monk can get the nightmare’s weird abilities.
The prerequisite is at least a Nascent Soul cultivator.
After swallowing the inner elixir of spiritual power, Chen Hao immediately sat down cross-legged and used the secret method of spiritual power to digest the inner elixir.
If you want to obtain the nightmare's weird abilities, it is not enough to successfully refine the inner elixir. The key is to swallow and digest it.
Without relevant methods, even if there is a soul that can swallow the inner elixir, it cannot be digested.
In the belly of the Yuan Shen, Nightmare's weird inner elixir of mental power flickered and lit up. Under the influence of the secret method, it continued to break into extremely small spiritual power characters that could not be seen with the naked eye.
.
While Chen Hao was digesting, he stared at it with false eyes. If he found anything wrong, he would make adjustments at any time.
If you want to obtain the nightmare ability, you must be so precise. Every step and every detail cannot be sloppy.
Outside the palace, the sky was bright and the night had completely passed.
In the harem, Concubine Zhang slowly opened her eyes and frowned slightly.
That night, she felt that her cultivation state was very bad.
Obviously nothing happened, but something felt wrong.
Originally, Concubine Zhang planned to practice for a few more hours, but because she felt something was wrong, she woke up early.
"Mother, you're awake."
When the two maids saw her opening her eyes, they both saluted.
Concubine Zhang hummed, got out of bed and stood up.
The maid brought over the toiletries.
In fact, Concubine Zhang does not need these, but she is a noble empress after all, and she must have a sense of ceremony.
"Is anyone looking for me?"
Concubine Zhang wiped her face with a towel, took another sip of fragrant tea, and asked.
"Go back to your Majesty, no."
A maid replied, taking the towel handed over by Concubine Zhang.
Concubine Zhang didn't speak. She didn't know why. After she woke up, the feeling that something was wrong became stronger and stronger, and she even felt faintly uncomfortable.
This is not a good sign.
Concubine Zhang frowned again, opened her consciousness, and looked at other parts of the palace.
Normally, Concubine Zhang would not do this, because monks need private space, and no one wants to be peeped at by others with their spiritual consciousness all the time. But at this moment, the feeling that something is wrong in her heart is very strong, and Concubine Zhang really can't help it.
.
This is her palace, and she is a monk in the middle stage of integration. Her spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. No matter how big the harem is, she can still see it all.
At one glance, Concubine Zhang's expression changed drastically.
Except for the room she was in, every other room was empty and no one was in it.
Including other maids and attendants, they also disappeared.
However, in front of each room, there are prohibitive words indicating that you are practicing and do not disturb.
Concubine Zhang was shocked and angry. Knowing that something serious had happened, she disappeared in a flash and came to a room to investigate.
"Empress?"
The two maids were startled when they suddenly saw Concubine Zhang disappear, and looked at each other in confusion.
At this moment, the two paper Gu insects that Chen Hao left behind before leaving started to move. Almost instantly, they flew into Concubine Zhang's room and then sank directly into the bodies of the two maids.
