Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

call out!

To Li Mu's utter astonishment, the demonic energy within his dantian was directly absorbed by the dark kitchen knife inside his spatial magic treasure!

Moreover, it was so fast that Li Mu had no time to react and had no way to stop it!

What the hell!

This kitchen knife can actually absorb my demonic energy?!

Li Mu was shocked, and then immediately took out the black kitchen knife.

This cleaver felt cold to the touch and was quite heavy; I'd estimate it weighs at least several thousand kilograms.

But with Li Mu's current physical strength, wielding a knife weighing several thousand kilograms is much easier than a mortal holding an ordinary kitchen knife.

However, no matter how he examined it, the knife was just an ordinary, ugly kitchen knife used by ordinary people, without any spiritual power!

He was also unable to detect or sense the demonic energy that had been absorbed into the kitchen knife!

"Wanhe, Aying, what the hell is going on?"

Li Mu was getting anxious and quickly used his soul sense to ask the two artifact spirits.

This demonic energy was his most powerful trump card for survival, and it was actually stolen by a kitchen knife?

Without this demonic energy, if Li Mu were to encounter a powerful and irresistible enemy while traveling on these Three Sacred Stars, he would truly have no chance of resistance!

"Master, this blade can directly absorb demonic energy containing the Qi of Haoyuan, it must be extremely extraordinary, but I really can't figure out what it is!"

"Yes, I can't tell either. This seemingly broken kitchen knife doesn't seem to have anything special about it. But it can directly absorb demonic energy from its master, so this knife must be extraordinary!"

Even the well-informed Wanhe and Aying couldn't figure it out.

The only thing they were certain of was that this cleaver was extraordinary.

"Damn it! I never expected something like this to happen! I'll drip blood on this cleaver to see if it's my bond!"

Unwilling to lose his strongest trump card, the Demonic Spirit Aura, Li Mu immediately dripped a drop of his essence blood onto the kitchen knife.

Swish!

Although the blood was absorbed by the cleaver, there was no further reaction.

Just like the armor that had just been bound to its owner, although the soul connection was established, it was impossible to extract any information about the kitchen knife, nor could it sense the existence of the weapon spirit.

Li Mu examined the rather unattractive old kitchen knife from all angles, but couldn't sense any demonic energy within it.

This means that the powerful demonic energy is now completely out of his control.

call!

call out!

Frustrated, Li Mu channeled spiritual energy into the cleaver, then swung it and slashed forcefully at the void in front of him.

call!

There was no change in the void in front of him or in the furnishings in the room. Apart from a slight whooshing sound, nothing happened.

There are no spiritual energy arcs, and no powerful attack!

Huh?

This shouldn't be!

Even if it's just an ordinary kitchen knife, if I use my physical strength to chop it open, the force alone would be quite powerful, right?

Why is there absolutely no movement?

"Master, I sensed just now that the spiritual energy you poured into this cleaver was completely absorbed by it, with not a single drop dissipating! Does it need more spiritual energy to activate this cleaver?"

A-Ying, who was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, immediately spoke up.

"Oh? It needs more spiritual energy? Damn, what's the deal with this cleaver?"

Filled with curiosity, Li Mu poured a large amount of spiritual energy into the knife. This time, because so much spiritual energy was poured in, Li Mu clearly sensed that the knife absorbed it all.

However, when he swung the cleaver again, just like before, nothing happened.

This means that the kitchen knife only absorbs spiritual energy but does not exert any power; it is even inferior to an ordinary knife, lacking even any internal energy.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Even with so much spiritual energy, it still can't activate this knife? Just now, even a Dao-level guqin could be fully activated with this amount of spiritual energy! But if this is just an ordinary kitchen knife, how could it absorb spiritual energy? Even demonic energy? It couldn't possibly have a blood-binding ritual! It must be a magic weapon! What kind of magic weapon is this kitchen knife?"

Li Mu was completely confused.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a magical artifact.

Just as Li Mu was sitting on the bed studying the strange kitchen knife, a group of people broke into the inn. They were all wearing demon masks and carrying magical weapons, looking fierce and menacing.

The leader was a burly man over two meters tall. As soon as he entered, before the shopkeeper and waiters could speak, he waved a strange bell in the air.

Jingle Bell!

As the bell rang, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Everything inside the inn froze, as if the entire space where the inn was located had come to a standstill!

"Boss, they're all frozen in place! Your time-stopping bell is truly powerful! There are still three Venerable Realm Level 5 experts in this inn!"

A tall, thin henchman, having discovered that everything inside the inn had been frozen, excitedly told their leader.

"Nonsense! This magic weapon of mine never fails! Men, move immediately and take all the resources from everyone in this inn!" the leader ordered arrogantly and smugly.

"Alright! Let's go! Everyone, let's go collect the treasures! Hahaha!" The tall, thin subordinate laughed and waved to the others.

"Boss, if we see a stunningly beautiful woman, should we capture her and take her back?" another subordinate asked.

"nonsense!"

"Hey boss, if she's just average-looking, how about we brothers have some fun right here?"

One of the henchmen, whose voice sounded somewhat lewd, asked again.

"Sure! But we need to finish this quickly! This timed bell of mine has a time limit!" the leader replied.

"Understood, understood! Thank you so much for your help, boss!"

After receiving his orders, the sleazy henchman quickly joined the others in searching each room on the first floor.

The leader remained standing in place, holding up the bell in his hand and ringing it every now and then, while his face showed some pain.

Clearly, maintaining this magical artifact that can freeze time and space is not an easy task for him, and he cannot do anything else.

However, in one room of the entire inn, time and space were not frozen, namely the room where Li Mu was.

The reason why time and space in this room were not frozen was because the protective isolation barrier he had set up earlier had the effect of blocking the opponent's bell supernatural power!

Even more strangely, Li Mu in the room did not notice any movement outside.

It wasn't because his attention was focused on the kitchen knife, but because he genuinely hadn't noticed anything happening outside.

The reason is simple: the strange bell magic artifact activated by the leader of these robbers can not only freeze a space-time, but also completely isolate any movement within the frozen space-time from the outside world. Cultivators outside this space cannot perceive what is happening inside at all.

Even Li Mu's two artifact spirits couldn't detect it.

In this vast realm, such robberies are not uncommon, and inns are often the primary targets.

However, this time the robbers were no ordinary bandits; they possessed a unique and heaven-defying magical artifact capable of freezing a space-time continuum.

But they probably never imagined that they would run into a brick wall today.
