Chapter 1795: Diewumeng: Husband, Be Careful with the Formula

Chen Chuyang was surprised for a moment, then quickly took the Silent Lotus Corpse‑Transforming Pill formula, which was written on the hide of some mysterious demonic beast; the exact material is unknown, but the hide feels extremely tough and unusual, preserving the formula well, whereas ordinary beast hides would have long turned to ash.

Upon close inspection, all the ingredients are listed; among them, Corpse‑Born Lotus is prominently first, serving as the principal herb, irreplaceable, while the other ingredients are adjuncts meant to maximize the Lotus's effect.

The formula is complete, with no gaps or omissions. After memorizing each spirit‑herb, Chen Chuyang puts the prescription away, intending to return and study it carefully—whether it has flaws, whether it is whole, whether the order is correct, how to refine it, and so on.

A formula is just a formula; who can know if the recorded order is correct or flawed? After all, the author might be playing a prank, deliberately misplacing steps to trap others.

Such cases do exist; many alchemists do this. For example, Chen Chuyang also enjoys it—if the disciple isn't his own favorite, he won't give them the genuine formula; even if he does, the order will be wrong.

There are also special refining methods not written on the paper; some spirit‑herbs require unique handling, different from ordinary procedures. As an alchemist, he knows these nuances. Clearly, the Silent Lotus Corpse‑Transforming Pill formula includes several herbs that need specific techniques—if the order is wrong, the resulting pill not only fails but becomes poisonous.

Moreover, during refinement even a tiny mistake can cause an explosion; each minor error brings huge consequences, and failure is severe. Chen Chuyang cannot take such risks and will not trust the formula outright—not because he doubts Diewumeng or the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, but because he doubts the author.

With this formula he can save a lot of time; he believes he'll soon understand it, then prepare materials and begin testing. After putting the formula away, Chen Chuyang thanks, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No trouble; serving my husband is our honor," Diewumeng says, smoothly looping her arm around Chen Chuyang's. Her eyes are fixed on Chen Chuyang alone, leaving no room for anyone else.

These days she has missed Chen Chuyang, but she couldn't come to his side—either searching for the formula or dealing with matters at the Mangshan Demon Palace. Only after finally resolving those could she come to him. The Silent Lotus Corpse‑Transforming Pill formula is scorching hot in her palm; she can't linger and must deliver it to him soon.

To avoid sudden accidents, fortunately everything went smoothly. On the other side of the Mangshan Demon Palace, connecting to Lingzhou, the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Mu Long Clan were very active; when they heard that the Corpse Refining Sect had been destroyed, they retreated.

The Mangshan Mountain Range has quieted again, but that does not mean it is completely safe.

Enemies outside watch hungrily; the Ten Thousand Demons Hall eyes them. The Heavenly Heart Sect and the Mu Long Clan are ready to strike at any moment, and will spare no effort once they find a chance. Before that, Diewumeng must quickly raise her cultivation; the stronger she is, the more confidence she has against these foes.

And Chen Chuyang is the key to her rapid strengthening, also the source of her confidence.

"Mainly it's because the Heavenly Capital Dragon King has worked hard; without his persistence we might never have found the Silent Lotus Corpse‑Transforming Pill formula. Husband, you must be careful—the formula is unverified and was left by the Corpse Refining Sect. I fear it contains deceit; after you return, study it thoroughly and do not refine the pill outright."

"Those people from the Corpse Refining Sect are unreliable; their items are unsafe. Even a sacred‑pill formula as important as this could be tampered with. You must not follow the instructions blindly."

Diewumeng specifically warns that she knows exactly what those Corpse Refining Sect humans look like; they excel at causing trouble and have no ability to accomplish anything.

If even our own people can betray us, how much worse are they?

Bai Zhongsheng is not easy to get along with; he may have already set a scheme, and Diewumeng fears Chen Chuyang will trust them too much and overlook this.

"Rest assured, madam. As a alchemist, I naturally know this; you need not worry." Chen Chuyang embraces Diewumeng, feeling truly reassured as his body and mind shift toward her.

"Husband, this is no small matter; those people from the Corpse Refining Sect are treacherous and cunning, each one adept at scheming. You cannot trust them."

"Every ingredient in the formula must be carefully verified before you refine the pill; the Corpse‑Born Lotus is a single plant—once it's used up, it's truly gone, and cultivating it again takes a long time."

Bai Zhongsheng spent a thousand years cultivating it, sacrificing countless lives before succeeding; such a cost is beyond what they can afford.

Unless they spark a war with Lingzhou, opening a brand‑new battlefield that sacrifices cultivators from Lingzhou and Cangzhou to provide flesh and resentment, only then could they possibly cultivate Corpse‑Born Lotus again. But such a scenario is unlikely.

Cangzhou would not agree, and the sects of Lingzhou are not foolish; they will not act.

"Madam, I understand your worries. I have already decided what to do. You, rest assured." Chen Chuyang strokes her head, ruffling her silky hair. Diewumeng truly is a wonderful woman, increasingly caring for him.

Compared with other women, her progress is remarkable; this change is even more thorough than Bai Xinlan's. Bai Xinlan may appear simple‑minded, but she is actually very rational, often thinking about the Luotian White Snake Clan.

In contrast, Diewumeng is different; she increasingly recognizes her own importance. The two of them are a match made in heaven, able to help each other rise quickly, which is why they treat Chen Chuyang this way—none of them can afford any mishap.

Diewumeng differs from Bai Xinlan; she has no clan—she is the sole member of her own group. Few can be relied upon in the Mangshan Demon Palace, and its subordinates never fully earn her trust. Thus she thinks more clearly and understands that Chen Chuyang is her confidence and her support.

She cannot trust others; if she falls into danger, Chen Chuyang will intervene without hesitation. As for the other subordinates, some might act, but most would not gamble with their own lives.
