Chapter 50: Chapter Forty-Nine: Demon Hunting Sect

In the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Dongfang Mao sent a pill furnace to Meng Su. The pill furnace was made of bronze and was not a top-quality pill furnace, but it could be considered medium-grade. The refining of the True Demon Pill did not have high requirements for the pill furnace, and this pill furnace was enough.

Meng Su began to study the True Demon Pill.

Although the True Demon Pill is difficult to refine now, it is recorded in the Pill Scripture as an ordinary pill. The difficulty of refining this pill is not the medicinal herbs, nor the furnace fire, but the separation.

First, one must melt hundreds of medicinal herbs in the pill furnace and separate a substance called Awakening Spirit Sand from them. This Awakening Spirit Sand is not sand; it is a substance separated from numerous medicines after removing other components at high temperatures. Strangely, the main components of these medicinal herbs are not Awakening Spirit Sand, and the substance that can condense into Awakening Spirit Sand is very small.

For example, there is a medicinal herb inside called Blood Separation Flower. Its medicinal property is actually a medicine for treating blood poison, containing over ninety percent of the medicinal properties for treating blood poison, and among the one percent of substances considered medicinal dregs, two percent are substances that condense into Awakening Spirit Sand.

Analyzing from pharmacology alone, wanting to refine a True Demon Pill is almost impossible.

This is just one of them; there is another substance that also needs to be separated from other medicinal herbs. This substance is called Demon Suppressing Powder. This is a medicine for suppressing the demonic thoughts of Void Demons, and it is also extracted from other medicinal dregs.

After these two substances are separated, they can be refined in a certain proportion, so this True Demon Pill must be refined in three steps to succeed.

Meng Su's alchemy method has been lost for ten thousand years. Since the first generation Medicine King passed away, this pill has never been refined again. The later Medicine King Shi Buli refined the True Demon Pill, but it was not this method. He deduced it based on the properties of the medicinal herbs. But the success rate was extremely low.

Meng Su began to pick the required medicines in his medicine field. Because Meng Su planted the medicinal herbs according to the Five Elements, there were very few impurities. The medicinal power was quite pure.

Soon, Meng Su refined the Awakening Demon Sand.

The Demon Suppressing Powder could not be refined for the time being because it needed to wait for a main medicine: "Heavenly Beauty Flower."

The main medicinal property of this flower is beauty enhancement, which can be used to refine Beauty Preserving Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, and other pills used by female cultivators. But there is a calming substance in this flower. However, the planting of this flower is very particular; it is a metal-attribute medicinal herb, but it must have water-attribute soil roots to bloom. That is to say, this flower does not exist in the current Demon Realm and needs grafting.

This could not stump Meng Su. Meng Su first cultivated roots containing water-element power through grafting. A month later, he grafted these roots onto the roots of the Heavenly Beauty Flower. Then he cultivated it in metal-attribute soil. Half a month later, Meng Su obtained the Heavenly Beauty Flower.

Two months later, Meng Su refined one hundred True Demon Pills.

Meng Su didn't know if one hundred True Demon Pills could be exchanged for an Escape Rat. Meng Su also wanted to refine another type of pill, which was the Advancement Pill, also known as the Bridge Pill. This pill could allow a True Demon to successfully advance to the Demon God stage. For a Demon God to advance to a Demon Saint requires enlightenment, and this pill is ineffective. But there are countless True Demons in the Demon Realm, and the market demand should be very large.

The existing quantity of this medicine in the Demon Realm is very small, and they all come from the hands of Shi Buli.

The records in the Pill Scripture and the refining method are completely different from the current Advancement Pill. The current Advancement Pill is, to put it bluntly, a Demon Spirit Pill containing a large amount of Demon Power. When a Demon Cultivator advances, a large amount of Demon Power suddenly appears, and under the impact of this Demon Power, the Demon Core is transformed into a Demon Infant, thereby advancing to a Demon God.

The Advancement Pill in the Pill Scripture is not this principle; it is a type of molding, molding the Demon Core into a Demon Infant. Therefore, its probability of advancement is extremely high, almost one hundred percent. And the success rate of the existing Advancement Pills is only about sixty or seventy percent.

According to the records in the Pill Scripture, Meng Su first obtained the medicinal herb through grafting, cutting, and combining it with Five Elements Earth. This medicinal herb is only one of the raw materials for refining the pill. There is another raw material that is very strange, which is a soul. This soul is best if it is the soul of a Demon Cultivator, and a demon beast is second best.

That night, Meng Su walked out of Ghost King Valley, found a group of Void Demons that were killing crazily on the outskirts of Li County, killed the Void Demons, and obtained their souls.

With the materials complete, Meng Su began to refine the Bridge Pill.

Meng Su's thought power was extraordinary, so the refining of the Bridge Pill went relatively smoothly. He refined a total of ten Bridge Pills, and Meng Su kept two for himself. The rest were used to exchange for Escape Rats.

After refining the pills, Meng Su prepared to go to Li City.

Meng Su contacted Dongfang Mao, and Dongfang Mao also happened to want to go to Li City to exchange for some materials for refining pills. These materials were not medicinal herbs, so the seed alchemists did not have them.

The two stepped onto the teleportation array, a white light flashed, and the two appeared in Li City. Li City was a large city; besides the four great martial arts families, there were also Demon Sects, among which was the Ghost King Sect. The duty of the Ghost King Sect was to plant demons. There were also branches established by the Mist Demon Sect, Blood Demon Sect, Bone Demon Sect, and Fire Demon Sect.

The two appeared at the gate of the Ghost King Sect. After the two appeared, Demon Deficiency cultivators from the Ghost King Sect immediately came to greet them. Meng Su and the other were both True Demons, and True Demons were considered high-level cultivators in their eyes, so they were very respectful to the two, and the two were newcomers to the Pill Demon Sect with bright futures. If they sucked up to them now, they wouldn't lack pills in the future.

Dongfang Mao nodded to the people who came to greet them. Meng Su felt the Ghost King Sect with a murderous look, but did not find the aura of Wu Linglong. She should have already left the Ghost King Sect.

It was not Dongfang Mao's first time coming to the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion to exchange things, so he was familiar with the road. The two headed straight for the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion.

The Nine Cauldrons Pavilion was in the center of Li City. Li City was a large city with a population of ten million, and there was a high tower in the city. The high tower was ninety-nine stories high. It looked like a pyramid. It towered into the clouds. This tower was an industry of the Demon Capital.

The two walked to the gate of the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion and showed their jade plates. The guards told the two that there would be a large auction in two days, and there would be Demon Cultivators rushing from all over to exchange. If they were not in a hurry, they could wait until two days later.

Meng Su thought, if there was an auction, then the number of Escape Rats he wanted would definitely be higher, and it would be easier to obtain. Anyway, he didn't care about these one or two days. The two found an inn nearby and stayed there.

The Nine Cauldrons Pavilion was a gathering place for Demon Cultivators, so people came and went, and there were countless Demon Cultivators. Outside the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion, there were countless cultivators setting up street stalls.

With nothing to do, Meng Su strolled around the street stalls. Suddenly, a Demon Cultivator caught Meng Su's attention.

This Demon Cultivator was in his early forties, at the peak of the Demon God stage, with a face full of wind and frost, his face like it was carved by a knife, and one eye covered by a patch, as if he were blind in one eye. A strange monkey stood on the Demon Cultivator's shoulder.

The monkey was pitch black all over, with blood-red eyes, and there was faintly space power on the monkey's body. This was a demon beast similar to an Escape Rat.

Having a demon beast was not strange, and it was not enough to attract Meng Su's attention. What Meng Su noticed was his blind eye.

The four great Demon Protection Sects of the Demon Capital: Mist Demon Sect, Blood Demon Sect, Bone Demon Sect, and Fire Demon Sect. The demon arts of the Demon Cultivators of these sects were extremely strange, but they all had one common point: they all had Demon Bodies.

The so-called Demon Body is a body after demonization. For example, the Demon Body of the Mist Demon Sect is Demon Mist. The Demon Body of the Blood Demon Sect is a Blood Body, the Demon Body of the Bone Demon Sect is a Bone Body, and the Demon Body of the Fire Demon Sect is a Fire Body. That is to say, these Demon Cultivators are extremely difficult to kill. It is also difficult to become disabled, and the body's self-repair ability is extremely powerful.

For example, in the battle of Yuehongxiu in Qingzhou last time, Gongziye had his Demon Body's head destroyed by the Demon Intent condensed by Meng Su, and Gongziye did not die. And this Demon Cultivator was clearly already at the peak of the Demon God stage, so how could he not have a Demon Body? How could he still be blind in one eye? There was only one possibility: this person was not a cultivator of the four great Demon Protection Sects. He belonged to another sect.

Soon Meng Su knew which sect they belonged to. Because this Demon Cultivator took out various demon beasts from the space magic tool on his body and set up a stall on the ground. This was a Demon Cultivator who made a living by hunting demon beasts. They were a very large sect in the north of the Demon Realm: "Demon Hunting Sect." ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
