Chapter 403: Pillaging the Alchemy Workshop
Chapter 403: Pillaging the Alchemy Workshop
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi finally tossed aside the woman in his arms and summoned a myriad of flying feathers.
"I don't need your promise, you're not worthy."
"I just want to take back what's rightfully mine."
With that, he gave a mocking smile and turned towards the light curtain again.
The Great Horned Demon Emperor hovered in the air, concealing the anger in his eyes. It was normal for him to return injured and in need of medicinal pills to replenish his energy, but the only one who would be dissatisfied with this was probably the White Hawk Demon Emperor.
After all, everything in the Alchemy Workshop belonged to her.
But what did it have to do with his Great Horn? Even if the White Hawk could make it back alive, it would be better to let it fight with the lion and pay less attention to itself.
Hearing this, the few Demon Emperors helplessly made way for him.
They watched as the majestic figure slowly stepped into the Third Cavern.
"If the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor were here, it would be better. She and the Lion Empress have a good relationship."
One of them felt a bit worried. The Thousand Demons Cave had already suffered heavy losses, and now there was internal strife.
The lion's temper was becoming more and more unruly.
Not to mention, if he just needed some pills, he could have directly asked the Cavern Master. Why did he have to put on such an aggressive front?
On the other side.
Shen Yi stepped into the cave mansion without hesitation and summoned the Black Mist Heavenly Silk, setting up restrictions at the entrance.
His expression then turned slightly solemn.
The moment he saw the black robe, his heart truly wavered.
Shen Yi even tried it on himself.
The familiar texture, apart from the different patterns, was almost identical to his own.
Fortunately, the array on it wasn't as rich as his.
It seemed unable to discern the aura.
"..."
Shen Yi slowly closed his eyes.
This was something he should have expected, but he had always overlooked it.
His robe was taken from the Thousand Demons Cave's steward's cave mansion.
And the so-called Cavern Master, who had always occupied the deepest part, must have something better.
Even the robe might just be a part of it.
As a cultivator, having one's foundation suppressed by demons was truly speechless.
"Move faster."
Shen Yi inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
The Cavern Master's sudden bestowal of the robe must have a reason, and there was likely a bigger move coming.
He released the Dark Nether Spider Emperor and quickly walked towards the scorching passage.
The entire Alchemy Workshop was quite spacious.
The three grand halls were connected by a jade-paved passage, adorned with ancient traces, coiled dragon pillars, and gem-studded lanterns, all showcasing the former grandeur and opulence of the Southern Yang Sect.
However, Shen Yi had no time to appreciate these details.
He strode into the first grand hall.
In the center of the hall stood a massive jade tree, its branches extending over a hundred zhang, covering the entire hall's dome. The ends of the branches drooped down, resembling a tree laden with fruits. At the tip of each branch was a jade plate.
But at a glance, nine out of ten plates were empty.
Only a few had delicate porcelain bottles on them.
These demons, over the long years, had almost emptied the place.
Shen Yi no longer hesitated and waved his hand, collecting the remaining dozens of treasure pills, regardless of their effects, into his storage artifact.
He had a premonition that this might be his last chance to infiltrate the Thousand Demons Cave.
After doing all this, Shen Yi continued towards the second hall.
Compared to the opulence of the previous hall, this one was rather plain and had no signs of demons.
On top of each shelf was a pressing stone holding down a pill formula.
Below the shelves were piles of heavy books.
Shen Yi randomly opened one, which recorded the Southern Yang Sect disciples' thoughts on improving the pill formula and their speculations on evolving it into other pill formulas.
(End of Chapter)"My lord, I'll go and look for it right away!"
The Dark Nether Spider Sovereign quickly crawled towards the surroundings.
"No need, just remember everything."
Shen Yi decided to release both the Lion Empress and the Azure Deer Ancestor.
Although he couldn't take them away directly, after all, taking the pills could be explained, but taking all the pill formulas would be too conspicuous. Once he left this door, he could consider leaving the Thousand Demons Cave immediately.
But with so many demons, it would be best to memorize everything.
With the arrangements made, Shen Yi headed straight for the last grand hall.
That was also the source of the powerful heat waves.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw hundreds of furnaces arranged in the eight trigrams formation.
Each furnace was over ten feet tall.
In the very center was a boiling fire pool, with a channel connecting it to each furnace.
Shen Yi slowly walked towards the center.
A bronze pillar rose from the fire pool, upon which sat a palm-sized purple-gold furnace, emitting a metallic luster. Its surface was plain, without any patterns, yet it exuded an air of nobility.
He reached out to touch it.
As soon as he approached the fire pool, even with Shen Yi's powerful body, he felt a searing pain when the white mist enveloped him.
Under the cover of the NanYang Transformation Art.
The sleeve of his black robe had an extra scorch mark.
He never expected that the first time this black robe would be damaged would be in such a situation.
"Hiss."
Shen Yi winced in pain, gritted his teeth, and directly pulled out the furnace, putting it into his storage bag.
Even without much experience, he could tell this was a valuable item.
Regardless of its use, he decided to take it first.
Besides Bai Hong, no one else should have the right to know that such a small item was hidden among the hundreds of massive furnaces.
Finally, after thoroughly searching the area.
Shen Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
He retreated to the second hall and began memorizing the pill formulas with several demon souls.
At the same time, he poured the remaining demonic lifespans into the Infinite Demon Imperial Palace.
【Year 1: You continue to activate the Dao Infant Organs, exploring your limits. The Dao Palace expands slowly and steadily, becoming more stable, but you still can't grasp the second Dao Art, leaving you feeling a little disappointed.】
【You often think that if you had entered the world with peace of mind, perhaps you would have had a smooth journey by now.】
"Entering the world with peace of mind would have meant dying under Nie Jun's sword."
Shen Yi looked at the pill formula in his hand and muttered to himself.
Sure enough, problems arose.
He shook his head slightly, feeling a headache.
The Dao Palace had expanded to nearly 360 zhang, and the demonic lifespans quickly depleted... Hmm?
Shen Yi suddenly noticed that the previously empty lifespans had mysteriously increased by three thousand years.
【Slaying the Hua Lin Demon King, total lifespan of sixteen thousand years, remaining lifespan of three thousand two hundred years, absorption complete】
Following this, under Shen Yi's watchful eyes.
A long string of prompts began to flash rapidly!
Within the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the demonic lifespans had already surpassed the fifty thousand mark.
And the growth rate showed no signs of slowing down.
"..."
Shen Yi fell silent for a moment, suddenly feeling that the two hundred thousand years he had spent was worth it.
"Try to kill them all, and I'll feed you a drop of my origin the next time I have a chance."
"Thank you, my lord. Qinghua will never let you down!"
Qinghua Lady's excited response echoed in his ears; it had been a long time since she had received praise from her master.
Outside the Thousand Demons Cave, somewhere.
A ten-zhang tall Golden Body Dharmic Form stood with cold eyes, gazing at the fleeing demon kings.
The Dragon Serpent let out an ear-piercing roar, its dark golden feather cape fluttering.
In an instant, it transformed into an unfeeling killing machine.
