Chapter 911: The Ninth Hundred and Tenth Chapter - The Human Devil Pill, the Chaotic Yuan Sea
"A sixth-grade treasure, the Demon Planting Sack." Lu Chen murmured, carefully examining the black-red pouch in front of him.
"In a sense, being able to raise demons and monsters within the Demon Planting Sack is a variation of a Spirit Beast Bag." He slightly refined this sinister object, and a streak of scarlet blood light flashed by, capturing the Thousand-Handed Demon beside him and pulling it into the sack.
With his spiritual sense probing, he saw that the Thousand-Handed Demon's body was tightly wrapped in a layer of black-red spiritual light, and the usually extremely ferocious little demon was exceptionally quiet at the moment.
"From now on, if it doesn't listen, put it into this Demon Planting Sack," Lu Chen instructed as he handed the sack to his incarnation, Ling Gu.
He has always been kind to others and naturally didn't want to hold on to such an ominous object.
"Yes," Incarnation Ling Gu replied, taking the black-red pouch and nodding.
Lu Chen turned his gaze to the remaining two white globes of light.
He reached out and touched one of them.
The globe silently shattered, transforming into countless fine specks of light that soared into the sky before swiftly condensing into a slender river of light and flowing into Lu Chen's body.
A thought emerged in his mind:
Harvested a fifth-grade Soul Insect Fungus and obtained a sixth-grade Human Devil Pill.
As the thought faded, a pill exuding a chilling aura appeared before Lu Chen. It was the size of a pigeon egg, surrounded by dense sinister energy, and its surface was etched with intricate and abstruse patterns that made one feel nauseous and uneasy.
Lu Chen focused his mind on the pill, immediately understanding its details.
Human Devil Pill, a sixth-grade pill. A Yuan Ying True Lord from the Ghost King Sect collected large amounts of cultivators' flesh, blood, and souls, refining them with evil methods to create this pill. It contains pure Yin Demon Qi, and consuming it will greatly enhance the Yin energy within an evil cultivator or demon.
"A sixth-grade pill, but it's of the evil type," he muttered to himself, pinching the Human Devil Pill between two fingers.
"It can greatly enhance the Yin energy within an evil cultivator. It's perfect for my incarnation to consume."
Although the incarnation cultivated superior techniques like the Blood Nerve Scripture and the Blood Devil Infant Refining Art, and was created from the Saint Infant Fruit, its talent was still inferior compared to Lu Chen, who could harvest these globes of light.
After cultivating for many years, it was still in the early stages of the Core Formation realm, and this Human Devil Pill would allow it to progress further, perhaps even breaking through to the mid-stage of Core Formation in one go.
Lu Chen tossed the Human Devil Pill to his incarnation and reached out to touch the last white globe of light.
Unfortunately, the globe revealed another Demon Planting Sack, with no new treasure rewards.
"Three fifth-grade Soul Insect Fungi, two sixth-grade Demon Planting Sacks, and a sixth-grade Human Devil Pill. That's quite a good haul," Lu Chen thought, satisfied.
The extra Demon Planting Sack could be sold or exchanged for Spirit Herbs and related treasures. To those who cultivated evil paths, it was a rare and precious object.
"The Soul Insect Fungus holds a strong attraction for demons and monsters. It is often used as bait to lure them. If I have absolute confidence, I can try it out in the Thousand Treasures True River or directly lure demons in the void," Lu Chen contemplated silently. Of course, he would only consider doing so if he lacked the materials for cultivating evil spirit herbs.
After harvesting three Soul Insect Fungi, Lu Chen finally had the time to inspect the remaining evil spirit herbs one by one.
Among them, the Fragrant Meat Branch, obtained at the same time as the Soul Insect Fungus and of a higher grade, had entered the maturation stage thanks to sufficient nourishment.
A rich meat aroma filled the air, stirring within anyone who smelled it a desire to devour the herb.
The Gorgeous Corpse Skin, also of the sixth grade, did not want to be outdone. It was close to maturity as well, and its vibrant skin constantly transformed, as if trying to squeeze out Lu Chen's skin and take over his body.
If it had been an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, their skin would likely have been claimed by the Gorgeous Corpse Skin after just a few encounters.

The rest of the bizarre spirit herbs, such as the Fierce-boned Demon Seed, Ghost Tumor Monster Wood, and Yellow Spring Immortal Tree, were all well taken care of by his incarnation and thriving.
Upon seeing Lu Chen, the Blood Spring Clam Mother tirelessly spat out streams of blood essence, showing significant improvement in both distance and quantity.
After staying in the Fengyuan Star Cave abode for a few days, Lu Xuan returned to the Thunderfire Star Cave.
Less than half a day after entering his abode, a familiar figure from the Commerce Guild arrived.
"Friend Lu, Zhang has come again to bother you for a few cups of spirit brew," the visitor said with a smile.
"I heard from Wood Immortal that you've developed a new high-grade spirit brew. I must have a taste of it," Zhang Jiuzong said as he followed Lu Chen into the abode.
"Please help yourself, Zhang. My abode may not have much, but there's plenty of spirit brew to go around," Lu Chen replied casually.
The two had known each other for many years and had developed a deep friendship. Lu Chen knew that Zhang Jiuzong's visit must be regarding something important, so he generously poured him several cups of the fifth-grade Green Condensed Dew.
"Compared to the Real Sword Liquid, this brew has a more gentle and lingering flavor, perfect for slow savoring. Moreover, it contains a rich vitality, and its effects are not inferior to those of similar high-grade spirit pills," Zhang Jiuzong praised after taking a big sip of the emerald green liquid.
"In my opinion, Friend Lu, your prowess in crafting spirit brews is no less than your skill in cultivating spirit herbs," Zhang Jiuzong added.
"You flatter me, Zhang. Crafting spirit brews is just a side hobby after I cultivate my spirit herbs. Their status is still slightly inferior to my beloved spirit plants," Lu Chen said with a smile.
"By the way, the reason I came today is that I have some important business to discuss with you, Friend Lu," Zhang Jiuzong said, his expression turning serious.
"Please, go ahead, Zhang," Lu Chen replied.
"Friend Lu, the Commerce Guild is extremely satisfied with the ten Star Fruits you cultivated last time. We have collected even more spirit seeds in the void and have brought them to you for cultivation," Zhang Jiuzong said.
"I apologize for the added burden, but we would be grateful for your continued hard work," he continued, a hint of apology in his tone.
Although the Commerce Guild had provided substantial compensation, the number of spirit seeds they brought kept increasing, requiring more of Lu Chen's time and energy. He hardly had any spare time for his own cultivation.
"It's no burden at all. It's my honor to contribute my meager efforts to the Commerce Guild," Lu Chen said sincerely.
In fact, he wished the Commerce Guild would bring him even more spirit seeds.
"Your dedication and selflessness toward the Commerce Guild are admirable, Friend Lu. I salute you," Zhang Jiuzong said, cupping his hands in respect. Then, he changed the subject:
"Also, regarding the Yuan Spirit Ginseng spirit seed that you asked the Commerce Guild to find..."
"The origin of this spirit seed is extremely remote. Normally, it wouldn't appear in this domain. One would have to travel through countless miles of void to reach a strange space called the Chaotic Yuan Sea, where one might occasionally find a few of these seeds," Zhang Jiuzong explained.
"Moreover, the Yuan Spirit Ginseng enhances the spiritual power within cultivators, making it highly sought after by Core Formation cultivators. Whenever it appears, it sparks intense competition among cultivators, so very few of these seeds make it to the public eye," he continued.
"Only the major powers within the Chaotic Yuan Sea firmly control the production of the majority of Yuan Spirit Ginseng, while other cultivators can only obtain a few seeds from rare and peculiar spirit lands."
"Therefore, even the Commerce Guild can only obtain a few Yuan Spirit Ginseng seeds by chance."
