Chapter 87: A Great Harvest, Spirit Medicine for Refining the Foundation Establishment Pill

"Tsk tsk, there are actually so many Youmo Sect secret manuals here."

Zhou Sui continued to examine the treasures inside the Storage Bag, and he also discovered that it contained a great many Demonic path secret manuals.

However, every single Demon Sect secret manual had enormous side effects.

For example, the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Technique" can burn one's own Qi and blood to temporarily gain power several times greater than one's original self, but once the eruption ends, one will basically die from the exhaustion of Qi and blood.

Generally speaking, unless it is a last resort, one would not use this technique.

Then there is the "Seven Cultivation Finger," a finger technique with extremely strange poison. Inside the Youmo Sect, they raise a rare, exotic poisonous snake called the Seven Cultivation Snake, which has seven heads and is extremely poisonous; whether human or beast, as long as one is bitten by any one of its heads, it will immediately cause blood to seal the throat.

Youmo Sect Disciples use the poisonous blood of the Seven Cultivation Snake to practice the Seven Cultivation Finger. Those who practice the Seven Cultivation Finger must first swallow the bile of the Seven Cultivation Snake, as well as a specially concocted antidote, to restrain the poison of the snake blood. Once mastered, one is invincible; those poisoned will immediately expire, and the finger wind emitted by the practitioner also carries strange poison.

However, once this poisonous technique is mastered, one's body will also be eroded by the potent poison, and one will suffer immense pain at every moment.

"Ten Thousand Slashes Technique," this is also a technique of the Youmo Sect, belonging to a branch of Zombie techniques, and is a very vicious evil technique. When attacking, one uses both palms and claws, and in an instant, one can tear the opponent into pieces, while the practitioner themselves is immune to ordinary blades and swords; even precious sabers and swords must wait until they have exhausted three to five percent of the practitioner's True Essence before they can cause injury to the body.

However, the more profound one's cultivation of this technique becomes, the faster one will become a zombie; by then, one's whole body will be stiff, invaded by baleful Qi, and all intelligence will vanish.

The only advantage is that it is a quick-success method, capable of rapidly grasping powerful strength.

…………

Besides this, there are many similar Demon Sect techniques; in short, their common point is that they are quick-success, fast-acting, and high-power, but of course, one also dies particularly quickly, particularly painfully, and particularly cruelly.

"No wonder many Cultivators do not look kindly upon Demonic Cultivators; they are purely self-destructive techniques that harm others without benefiting oneself, and they also consume Longevity."

"Since one wishes to cultivate the Dao and become an immortal, one naturally wishes to obtain a long lifespan."

"But these Demonic Cultivators do the exact opposite, consuming their own lifespan to obtain powerful strength."

"It is purely putting the cart before the horse."

Seeing these Demon Sect techniques, Zhou Sui sighed repeatedly; he could be considered to understand why the Demon Sect are like rats crossing the street, shouted at by everyone, and why not many people look kindly upon them.

These techniques are simply too evil and cruel, harming the harmony of heaven, and harming others without benefiting oneself.

Normal Cultivators cannot tolerate the conduct of Demonic Cultivators.

Some people despise the conduct of the hypocrites in the righteous sects.

But he does not think so; even if the righteous sects are hypocrites, at the very least they will not engage in mass slaughter, they will always have a bottom line, and they will maintain order.

People at the bottom, when facing oppression, can at least still survive.

But what about Demonic Cultivators? They have absolutely no bottom line, killing whoever they see—they kill bad people, and they kill good people even more, harming others without benefiting themselves.

However, he also knows that Demonic Cultivators cannot be eradicated.

Because the majority of Demonic Cultivators are Cultivators with low Spirit Roots, and many have Lower Grade Spirit Roots.

Righteous sects only recruit Cultivators with Middle Grade Spirit Roots or higher, leaving many Cultivators with no path to the Dao.

But the Demon Sect? They turn no one away.

As long as one has a Spirit Root, one can become a Demon Sect Cultivator, practice Demon Sect techniques, and they teach without discrimination.

Therefore, people with Lower Grade Spirit Roots have only two choices.

Either become a Loose Cultivator, or become a Demonic Cultivator.

It is precisely because the vast majority of Demon Sect Cultivators have mediocre aptitude that, if they have no special opportunities, they basically have no hope of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

But since they have stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation, who would be willing to fall halfway and watch helplessly as their Longevity is exhausted?

Therefore, these Demonic Cultivators act increasingly perverse and arrogant.

For the sake of their own Dao path, they stop at nothing.

Even if it means practicing Demon Sect techniques with huge side effects, as long as they can quickly grasp power and improve their cultivation, once they become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, everything can be made up for.

"Let the Book Gu eat all these Demonic path secret manuals."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

He carefully looked at these Demonic path secret manuals; basically, not a single one was needed by him. He has hope for longevity, so why practice such quick-success techniques?

Of course, this does not mean these Demonic path secret manuals are useless.

To the Book Gu, they are actually a type of food.

The more books it eats, the faster the Book Gu grows, and it can also increase his time for sudden enlightenment, helping him quickly comprehend all kinds of knowledge.

"There seem to be quite a few Dharma Artifacts as well."

Zhou Sui continued to check the contents of the Storage Bag; besides Talismans, Demonic path secret manuals, and Spirit Stones, the treasures with the greatest value were naturally the Dharma Artifacts.

As a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator, it is naturally impossible for them to use ordinary Dharma Artifacts.

Basically, they all possess one High-grade Magical Tool.

Adding them all up, there are at least ten High-grade Magical Tools.

Besides this, there are over a hundred Low-grade Magical Tools and dozens of Mid-grade Magical Tools.

These Dharma Artifacts were most likely obtained by these Demonic Cultivators robbing others; otherwise, where would normal Cultivators get so many Dharma Artifacts?

If all these Dharma Artifacts were sold, one could probably obtain several thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

This is also a quite astonishingly huge sum of money.

Without a doubt, judging solely by the items obtained previously, he had already acquired treasures worth over ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

This is simply becoming rich overnight.

"Wait, these Spirit Medicines, could they be the Spirit Medicine for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

In an instant, Zhou Sui was startled; he checked the remaining treasures in the Storage Bag, which were the Spirit Medicines.

He was shocked to discover that there were dozens of types of Spirit Medicines inside, basically all recorded in the Foundation Establishment Pill Prescription.

Except for the main ingredient, the Golden Jade Immortal Plant, which was missing, the other Spirit Medicines were all complete.

Densely packed together, there were at least five sets of Spirit Medicine for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"That's right, Xu Tianze and the others are all Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivators; they are not very far from the Foundation Establishment Realm, so they naturally need to start considering matters of Foundation Establishment."

"The problem is, even if they are Youmo Sect Cultivators, it is not such an easy matter to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Except for True Disciples, it is basically impossible for other ordinary Disciples to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Therefore, these demonic Cultivators naturally consider obtaining Foundation Establishment Pills from other places, first collecting the Spirit Medicine for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and then finding a Second-tier Pill master to cooperate in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"This is also the method by which many Cultivators obtain Foundation Establishment Pills."

Zhou Sui instantly knew from the memories of the previous demonic Cultivators why they had so many sets of Spirit Medicine for Foundation Establishment Pills on them.

These were all preparations these demonic Cultivators had made in advance for their own Foundation Establishment.

Unfortunately, these demonic Cultivators would never have imagined it even in death.

The Spirit Medicine for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, which they had painstakingly collected for who knows how many years, had actually all been left to Zhou Sui.

This was simply making wedding clothes for someone else.

It greatly benefited Zhou Sui, saving him who knows how much effort in collecting Spirit Medicine.

Next, as long as he can find a Golden Jade Immortal Plant, or a Second-tier Monster Core, he will be able to attempt to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.
