Chapter 825: The Feast of Division, the Pseudo Fifth-Tier Divine Pill

Chapter 825: The Feast of Division, the Pseudo Fifth-Tier Divine Pill

In the cultivation world, there is a straightforward way to determine the level of a demon beast.

It is to observe their size!

First-tier beasts are typically around ten feet in size.

Second-tier beasts range from twenty to seventy or eighty feet.

Once they reach a size of over a hundred feet, they are generally considered third-tier Demon Kings.

As for the fourth-tier Demon Monarchs, whose power is comparable to the Primordial Spirit of the human race, their bodies are often over a hundred zhang tall, resembling mountains in their stature, and their movements bring forth the wind.

This is why the cultivation realm of demon beasts is closely tied to their size. Someone in the past had specifically devoted their thoughts to researching this phenomenon.

They came up with three conclusions:

First, large bodies intimidate their own kind, allowing them to dominate and occupy territories. This is an innate pursuit of all beasts, desiring to be tall and large.

Second, demon beasts are transformed from wild beasts that follow the cultivation path of the human race. Essentially, there is no distinction between demon beasts and wild beasts. Wild beasts are stronger in body cultivation and attempt to transform themselves into mountains and rivers, like the Mirage Dragon Inner World that Luo Chen witnessed, or even the vast Gobi Desert in the Demonic Ruin Land. Demon beasts, even after adopting the human cultivation system, still inherit this innate ability.

The third point is somewhat discriminatory.

According to that person from the past, demon beasts are inherently stupid and lack proficiency in human cultivation methods, resulting in a crude and unrefined cultivation of qi.

They are unable to refine and temper their cultivation delicately, and they cannot contain high-quality spiritual energy within a small dantian like powerful human cultivators.

Therefore, they have to find alternative ways, constantly expanding their bodies to accommodate more spiritual energy and thus advance their cultivation.

In general, this is how the research and analysis of demon beast sizes are conducted.

Over time, this has become a basis for cultivators to judge the cultivation level of demon beasts.

However, there are exceptions!

These conclusions mostly apply to land beasts and sea demons.

For flying creatures and some exotic species, they do not possess such universality.

The Lightless Beast, being both a flying creature and an exotic species, reveals a body of less than a hundred zhang in size after death.

Even so, not a single person in the crowd doubted the truth of Luo Chen's words.

The unique ability of Primordial Spirit realm beings to attract surrounding celestial spiritual energy is something that cannot be faked.

At this moment!

As Luo Chen takes out the relatively intact body of the Lightless Beast, the crowd's emotions stir, and their eyes flicker.

Instead of showcasing their most prized pills, the Alchemy Sect chooses to present the remains of a Demon Monarch, but why?

Is it to flaunt their power?

It must be said that this Demon Monarch's remains indeed shocked many people.

Numerous human cultivators with Primordial Spirits have defeated Demon Monarchs.

Many have also killed Demon Monarchs.

But few, like Luo Chen, have managed to obtain a complete corpse.

During the century-long war between humans and demons, the Spirit Extinction Battle was undoubtedly the most tumultuous.

In that battle, aside from Luo Chen, no one else obtained a complete Demon Monarch corpse.

Only Tie Guan Daoren, with the True Artifact Xuan Tie Dao Guan, managed to acquire half a corpse.

The gap between them highlights Luo Chen's formidable combat strength!

He is not a weak high-level pill concoctor but a powerful Primordial Spirit cultivator!

Luo Chen calmly scanned the crowd.

The group of True Beings from Ling Tian Pass had previously displayed a relatively calm demeanor, as Luo Chen had already achieved the feat of obtaining the complete remains of a Frost Eagle Demon Monarch.

However, the new arrivals, a group of Primordial Spirit cultivators from ancient sects in the Eastern Wilderness, were visibly uneasy.

Regardless of their proficiency in cultivating inner energy, facing a Demon Monarch's corpse directly caused them to lose their composure to some extent.

Luo Chen was very satisfied with this reaction!

From now on, when others seek his help, they will have to consider whether the offered compensation is worthy of his services.

Seeking the assistance of a pill concoctor already requires a favor.

To request the help of a powerful cultivator demands an even higher price.

This also quietly raises the threshold for his future pill concocting services, preventing every Tom, Dick, and Harry from bothering him incessantly.

Furthermore, there is another consideration on Luo Chen's mind.

"These ancient sect cultivators often look down on the new powerful cultivators from the emerging forces of the Eastern Wilderness. Since I possess an astonishing pill concocting technique, I can't guarantee that some won't harbor ill intentions, attempting to coerce or force me to give them benefits."

"A single Demon Monarch's corpse is enough to dispel any unworthy thoughts they might have!"

As he had expected, after the bloody corpse of the Lightless Beast appeared, the Divine Master Huatianshi of the Xu Huang Sect, who had proactively sought to befriend Luo Chen earlier, changed his expression several times.

The Elder Lu of the Dongyang Sect, sitting beside him, also clenched his chair, looking at Luo Chen with apprehension.

As for Yaosheng, his face turned deathly pale at this moment, instantly realizing the vast difference between him and Luo Chen in another aspect.

The atmosphere in the room became silent.

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, "What's the matter? Do you all look down upon this Demon Monarch's corpse, or perhaps you don't recognize the value of this beast?"

"Never mind, our sect will boast about it ourselves!"

"The eyes of the Lightless Beast can discern the pure from the turbid and distinguish life from death."

"These black wings, while their flying speed may not be the fastest, possess the ability to conceal and move stealthily without a trace of spiritual light. If a skilled craftsman were to use them as the main material for refining treasures, it would undoubtedly result in an unorthodox and extraordinary treasure."

"Especially this scorpion tail needle! It has already undergone the Shape Transformation Thunder Tribulation and possesses the quality of a True Artifact. If it were to be imbued with the venom from the Lightless Beast's poison sac, its killing power would be unparalleled among True Artifacts. I fear you will laugh at me, but when I first encountered this scorpion tail needle, it pierced through my protective treasure, and I suffered a hidden loss."

"And these flesh and bones, if a Spirit Chef uses secret techniques to neutralize the venom within, it can greatly enhance one's resistance to venom when consumed by Body Cultivators over a long period."

After this self-promotion, the others seemed to regard his words as precious knowledge.

The first to speak was Qin Bai Xiang from the Hundred Beasts Sect, "I never expected that the Alchemy Sect would have such a deep understanding of Demon Beast corpses. Your knowledge is truly vast!"

Luo Chen smiled but remained silent. In the North Sea, he had earned the 'Seven-Star Demon Hunter' license, and he had once intensively studied this kind of knowledge.

The Nine Spirit Lord also chimed in, but his praise took a different direction.

"It's one thing for Brother Luo to understand these materials, but it's quite another to know what kind of treasures can be refined from each part. Could it be that Brother Luo is also skilled in the art of forging?"

Luo Chen modestly nodded, "I know a little, a little!"

After boasting about himself, others' praise only served to validate his words.

With that, there was no further delay.

Soon, several Primordial Spirit True Men joined in the feast of dividing the Demon King Remains.

The Nine Spirit Lord was the first to make a move, buying all the precious scorpion tails and poison sacs of the Lightless Beast! For this, he paid a total of thirty strands of Celestial Qi that Luo Chen needed.

Luo Chen was a bit taken aback by his generosity.

Didn't this guy say he didn't have much Celestial Qi left?

As if guessing Luo Chen's thoughts, the Nine Spirit Lord secretly explained, "I had to deceive you last time. My Great Nine Heavens River also requires a large amount of Celestial Qi, and now that it's been refined, I have these excess resources."

"

Luo Chen slightly nodded in acknowledgment, accepting his words and not blaming him for the previous deception.

Instead, he realized that a powerful cultivator who could make a name for himself must have wealth beyond ordinary imagination.

He now felt that his previous offers were a bit too low!

Next, the master of Yan Hua Gu Yu, Xiao Shi Niang, took out five strands of Crimson Celestial Qi and bought the pair of wings that resembled bat wings.

Her combat style was somewhat similar to that of the Lightless Beast.

If she could use these wings as a supplement, it might greatly enhance her strength.

However, she would need to find a high-level refiner to figure out how to utilize these wings.

Qin Bai Xiang was the third to make a move, using ten strands of Vermilion Heaven Qi to purchase all the flesh and bones of the Lightless Beast.

With this, the main parts were gone, leaving only the "scraps."

But these scraps were still from the Demon King, and their value was undoubtedly high.

"This Lightless Beast's eyes, fellow Daoists, please let Lu take them!"

"Alchemy Sect, five strands of Purple Celestial Qi, is that possible?"

Elder Lu laughed and said, "Sure, why not?"

Luo Chen didn't haggle, and he also smiled and nodded.

In his heart, he was extremely excited! Including the eleven strands of Celestial Qi he had already refined, combined with what he obtained today, he now had a hundred strands in total!

As long as he refined them all, he could reach the Middle-Stage Realm in the Thousand Heaven Sword Scripture!

And the surprises didn't end there.

"I'll take that large tendon!"

"It's a pity that this beast's fur and skin are gone; otherwise, I would have liked to make a set of clothes from them. I'll take these claws and have my grandson refine them into a treasure. I'm sure he'll be delighted."

"This perfectly preserved heart? If I use my sect's secret technique and soak it in Thousand Gold Wine for a hundred years, it will undoubtedly become top-grade Spirit Wine. Fellow Daoists, please let this old man have it!"

"I, Deng, will take the skull. I've heard that the Lightless Beast has mind-hypnotizing power, and perhaps this skull can help me understand some of my cultivation confusions."

The True Men quickly made their moves, each paying a different price for the materials of the Lightless Beast.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the once famous Lightless Demon King's corpse in the Demon Wilderness was completely divided up by the crowd.

If this news reached the Demon Clan's headquarters, it might provoke great fury.

But the cultivation world was like this!

Survival of the fittest, natural selection—where was the cruelty in that?

The flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and the Golden Cores of Golden Core Cultivators were also great supplements for Demon Beasts!

When Luo Chen was still at Cang Wu Mountain, he had even seen Yu Quan using Tian Yezi's Primordial Spirit as the main ingredient for the Shape Transformation Pill.

One could even say that, regardless of the distinction between humans and demons, even within the human race, there were those who took soul essences to refine evil demonic techniques.

For the sake of cultivation, everything could become nourishment!

After Luo Chen threw out a huge brick, it was time for others to bring out their resources for trade.

Until he found what he wanted, he wouldn't participate, only observing from the side.

In his heart, he was thrilled about the dozens of strands of Celestial Qi that had gradually accumulated.

These old sects indeed had deep foundations.

The previously hard-to-find Celestial Qi was now as common as dirt, readily available everywhere!

"That's right, after achieving the Primordial Spirit stage, who wouldn't want to take a look at the Nine Heavens?"

"Don't you want to know what's beyond the world? Is the Immortal World just a step away from us?"

"Even if we reach the Nine Heavens and the Azure Heaven, as long as we spend some time and effort, we can collect some Celestial Qi. Over time, we can accumulate a large stockpile of various Celestial Qi in the world."

As Luo Chen thought this, he glanced subtly at Elder Lu.

It was rumored that the Dongyang Sect had a method of Divine Thunder Control called the Purple Celestial Thunder.

Divine Thunder was difficult to control, so he used Celestial Qi to guide it. From its name, one could tell that the Celestial Qi used was Purple Celestial Qi.

Perhaps there was a large amount of Purple Celestial Qi within Dongyang Sect?

The Thousand Heaven Sword Scripture he cultivated was most suitable for Crimson Heaven Sword Qi based on his physique and cultivation. Although Purple Celestial Qi and Crimson Celestial Qi could also be transformed into Crimson Heaven Sword Qi, if he could obtain a large amount of Purple Celestial Qi from Dongyang Sect, perhaps he wouldn't have to worry about these resources in the future.

As Luo Chen pondered, Deng Taiyue of Taishan Sect below took out an object.

"Seven Souls Jade, a fourth-rank mineral, has the effect of merging and guiding souls. It is suitable for making soul tablets for the sect, allowing one to sense the life and death of disciples."

"Deng Taiyue wishes to exchange it for some resources beneficial resources for the divine soul. I wonder if any fellow cultivators are interested?"

These words instantly piqued the interest of many.

Top-tier sects would usually invest a great deal of effort into nurturing their disciples.

Especially for those with exceptional talents, they would often pour in a large amount of resources.

When such outstanding juniors perished, even Golden Core Cultivators would feel heartache.

Therefore, top-tier sects would often make soul tablets or soul lanterns for them, or use various secret techniques to sense their condition.

Seven Souls Jade was one of the best materials for making soul tablets.

Aside from its excellent sensing effect, it also required very little soul blood, thus not damaging the foundation of genius disciples' divine souls.

Unfortunately, after so many years, the remaining Seven Souls Jade in the Thirty-Six Regions of Eastern Wilderness had long been exhausted, and few great sects made soul tablets. They could only choose to use ordinary soul lanterns.

Although soul lanterns were common, the damage they caused to the divine souls of disciples was evident.

To maintain an unquenchable soul lantern, a relatively large amount of soul blood was needed, and cultivators had to replenish it from time to time, which was very troublesome.

Now that Seven Souls Jade had appeared, these Primordial Spirit True Monarchs instantly became interested.

Luxiang was the first to speak up, "Taiyue Zhenren, did you obtain this Seven Souls Jade from the Million Mountains Mist Marsh?"

Deng Taiyue didn't hesitate and frankly replied, "Indeed. Ten years ago, I took advantage of the mass exodus of demon beasts and entered the Million Mountains when it was empty. Aside from obtaining that Demon King Pup, this Seven Souls Jade was my biggest harvest. Unfortunately, the quantity is not much, and I can only make around a hundred soul tablets."

As he spoke, he patted his storage bag, indicating that there were more pieces besides the one in his hand.

The others were slightly disappointed upon hearing the number of around a hundred.

Their ancient sects had thousands upon tens of thousands of core disciples, and a mere hundred or so soul tablets were not enough.

Moreover, Deng Taiyue was seeking resources beneficial to the divine soul! If they had such a valuable item, why would they exchange it for Seven Souls Jade, which was only effective for low-level cultivators?

For a moment, the True Monarchs who were previously interested all fell silent.

However, the long-silent Yaosheng showed some interest.

Qidong Mountain had been in decline for a long time, and the number of disciples was not significant, with outstanding ones being even rarer.

If this batch of Seven Souls Jade was taken back, it would be enough for this generation.

"Ahem!"

After coughing to attract everyone's attention, Yaosheng slowly said, "Deng Taiyue, how about selling this batch of Seven Souls Jade to me?"

Although Deng Taiyue was used to being addressed by his name, he still frowned slightly in front of everyone.

"Yaosheng, what are you offering in exchange?"

Yaosheng replied without hesitation, "I have been researching the incomplete formula of the Nectar Essence Pill for you for a long time. If it's truly refined, it can surpass the effects of millions of soul-beneficial pills."

Upon hearing this, Deng Taiyue's frown deepened.

Only if it's refined, then it's still not refined, isn't this the same as before, still trying to get something for nothing?

Luo Chen blinked and, seeing the smiling Luxiang beside him, silently asked, "What is the Nectar Essence Pill?"

Luxiang was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "You, a member of the Alchemy Sect, don't know about the Nectar Essence Pill?"

Immediately, he realized that Luo Chen's cultivation journey was less than three hundred years, so it was normal for him not to know some things.

He quickly explained, "The Nectar Essence Pill was a pill formula accidentally researched by a Qi Cultivator in ancient times. Although it's a fourth rank, it's known as a pseudo-fifth-rank divine pill. Its effect helps Golden Core Cultivators to have a spiritual enlightenment and prematurely comprehend the Essence of Law."

"Unfortunately, such a divine pill is destined to be envied by heaven. After that Qi Cultivator advanced to Divine Transformation using this pill, he ascended and left. The pill formula was snatched by various sects, and it was destroyed into seven or eight pieces."

"After thousands of years, even with the Eastern Wilderness cultivators piecing together seven or eight parts, they could at most gather five or six parts of the formula, but it still lacks the most important main ingredient."

"Despite the huge cost of researching and refining, they still haven't succeeded, and after a long time, no one paid attention to this pill formula anymore."

"I've heard that the Pill Sage Chu Yan once showed interest in this incomplete formula and researched it for many years. However, before any results were seen, she journeyed to the Central State, and the outcome of her research is unknown."

"I didn't expect Taiyue Zhenren to still be so persistent about this pill, tirelessly seeking someone to refine it."

At this point, Luxiang suddenly remembered something.

"With the ability of the Alchemy Sect, could this formula be restored?"

Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh.

He waved his hand, "Even the Pill Sage hasn't researched it to fruition, how could our sect have such means. However..."

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, focusing on the Seven Souls Jade.

This thing was one of the best materials for refining the Heart-Questioning Mirror!

He spoke up.

"Taiyue Zhenren, how about selling this to me?"
