Chapter 510

Longshe Shan

Chen Chuyang stood on the mountain, looking toward where Baihe Town was.

"Mu Longhao, this little rat is too despicable; he ran away before even fighting—truly a beast of Tianwai, if he weren't despicable, he wouldn't have survived to today."

"Every demon beast has its own unique ability; he seems able to sense danger, making him hard to deal with."

"This demon's concealment ability is strong; unless you're very close, it's hard to find him, and besides, he's good at earth escape, so some of my methods are useless against him."

He directly hid underground, fleeing thousands of miles, leaving you no way to act or strike.

This kind of demon beast, Chen Chuyang is encountering for the first time.

For now there's no good way to deal with him, but sooner or later we'll give him a chance, and then one strike will kill him.

To deal with such a demon beast, one must endure loneliness and seek an opportunity.

Mu Longhao has fled; Chen Chuyang can relax a bit for now, but he can't let his guard down completely—he still needs to watch Baihe Town.

"The plague demon beast is dead; Mu Longhao won't just give up—it's very likely that this beast's death was also part of his calculations."

"This time, the Heavenly Heart Sect didn't show up, and the Yin Gui Sect also remained quiet—everything is very still."

The calm before the storm—Chen Chuyang knows the Heavenly Heart Sect side certainly knows about the plague in Baihe Town; this time they didn't send anyone, and after Yu Xuzi's death, Tianlian Zhenren and the others coming down the mountain all suffered a setback.

The Heavenly Heart Sect dares not lightly send people down the mountain, nor do they want any of the Heavenly Heart Seven Sons to die.

Spirit Sword Sect has remained still; this sect is actually normal—they never have any movement.

The plague demon beast died, dying in a hurry.

Chen Chuyang always felt there was a problem here, but for a moment he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

"To take Baihe Town, those inside are all infected with the plague; wanting to lift it is not easy."

Spirit Herbal Hundred Grass Classic

The Chen Clan and Shang Clan control Baihe Town; they can take the opportunity to accept a batch of people. The rise of the Chen Clan needs people, but the Chen Clan doesn't have many.

Population is sparse; even if we recall disciples from the branches, it's still not enough.

As their territory expands and the Chen Clan's strength grows, the number of children they can bear is still not enough.

This is a problem in the Chen Clan's rise; they need to accept a batch of outsiders to join and strengthen their strength.

Otherwise, the Chen Clan will never catch up to those great clans.

At the same time, we can also train some enforcers; we can't always send Chen Clan members.

Father will think about these things.

Chen Chuyang lowered his head, stroking the body of Ghost King Zhuge Gui; this Ghost King was very quiet, without the previous ferocity and resentment.

Having lost his ghostly aura and resentment, he was instead undergoing transformation.

Bit by bit, when he gained control of his body, that would be the day of his recovery.

"The Ghost King's recovery is slowly happening; Zhuge Gui's consciousness is gradually becoming complete."

"I will remodel him."

This is a lab rat; how could I not make good use of it.

Medicinal baths, elixirs, and various spiritual herbs—whatever Chen Chuyang thought of, he applied to it.

Observing the effects, even poison was used.

Every effect was recorded; the same spiritual herb might have different functions under different circumstances.

First were those spiritual herbs that could increase the soul; they were relatively rare, but Chen Chuyang used them directly, feeling no waste.

In short, at any time, the Ghost King was under study.

He had never left.

If nothing went wrong, he wouldn't be poisoned.

The efficacy of the spiritual herbs under Chen Chuyang's control gradually increased; all were entered into his *Spiritual Herb Hundred Herbs Classic*, step by step, from first-rank to fourth-rank spiritual herbs, and then to those he didn't recognize, each added in turn.

Gradually perfecting the *Spiritual Herb Hundred Herbs Classic*, he also steadily added elixir formulas within it.

This version, this brand-new version, is not the one possessed by Zhang Nongqian.

The elixir recipes above kept increasing; Chen Chuyang continuously researched and kept adding them.

Blood-Burning Elixir—Chen Chuyang also gave the Ghost King a trial pill; the effect was excellent.

It nearly made his body explode; fortunately, the Ghost King's body was strong enough—even with greater blood energy, it wouldn't burst.

Cough cough cough.

The enhanced version of the Blood-Burning Elixir truly had a powerful effect; Chen Chuyang constantly revised the formula, continually... increasing its potency.

Using it on himself, he definitely wouldn't dare to use it like that, nor dare to use such a large dosage.

The Ghost King isn't afraid; Chen Chuyang can use it with peace of mind, and those ideas in his mind also began to be constantly tested.

Among them.

Poison elixir is something Chen Chuyang has always wanted to research, but unfortunately, he couldn't find anyone to test it.

Heishanyang, that cowardly ghost, dared not try it, which caused this plan to fail.

"Poison elixir is also an elixir."

"Any elixir has an effect."

"Zhuge Gui, you're getting a bargain; others, I won't easily let them try the poison elixir."

He took out a pill that had been ruined in refinement, its surface covered with elixir poison; countless elixir poisons combined, plus the spiritual herbs Chen Chuyang had prepared, the elixir refined from them—its toxicity, Chen Chuyang could not know.

However, it definitely wouldn't be bad.

Zhuge Gui very much wanted to resist, but unfortunately, he had no autonomous consciousness, could not dodge, could not refuse.

The poison elixir entered his body; Zhuge Gui immediately lay down, his body trembling.

He kept trembling, trembling several times.

He only then became quiet.

Shang Hongxue watched the whole time, worriedly asking: "Brother Chuyang, is he dead?"

Chen Chuyang laughed: "No way, anyway he wasn't alive; a mere poison pill can't cause anything."

Zhuge Gui, originally not a living person.

Death, to him, seems quite normal.

"Huh?" Shang Hongxue stared at Brother Chuyang in shock; it seemed reasonable, yet she always felt something was off.

"Aren't you afraid Zhuge Ruolan will cause you trouble?"

"What's there to fear? She doesn't even know, and she should be thanking me—look how well I've taken care of him!"

The Ghost King Zhuge Gui's condition improved greatly; at least, compared to before, he shows signs of improvement.

Zhuge Gui: "..." No, I didn't, don't spout nonsense.

The poison pill's effect began to erupt; the Ghost King Zhuge Gui's body trembled, violently trembling, occasionally bursting out terrifying ghost qi.

His breath was disordered.

Chen Chuyang quickly activated the formation, leading Shang Hongxue away from this place.

"Whoa, what's going on?"

Shang Hongxue blinked: "Brother Chuyang, you don't even know what's going on with the commotion you caused yourself?"

Chen Chuyang gave an embarrassed laugh: "Cough cough cough, everything is under my control."

Hehehe.

Shang Hongxue certainly knows this Brother Chuyang—it's obvious he doesn't know, or rather, he didn't expect this to happen.

Brother Chuyang, do you think Zhuge Gui might really be ruined?

Chen Chuyang blinked: "No way, how could it be? Brother Chuyang, I know what I'm doing."

Hehe.
