The so-called devil lord was actually a general term for devil cultivators who cultivated to a certain realm.
Devils were different from demons. Demons were beasts, but the devils originated from humans.
The realms of their cultivation bases were the same as ordinary martial artists. However, during the breakthrough stage of the Sati Transformation realm, they would take extreme measures, such as abandoning their physical bodies and cultivating their nascent womb.
As the saying went, it only takes a single thought to turn into a devil!
This process was extremely dangerous and extremely harmful to the outside world. It was not tolerated by the heavens and the earth. Very few devil cultivators could endure it.
If there was a slight mistake, not only would their physical bodies be destroyed, their consciousness would also be obliterated. In the end, they would become a wandering devil thought in the world.
.
Only a few martial artists deviate into devil cultivation, and those who cultivated to the level of a devil lord were even fewer.
A devil lord mainly cultivated his nascent womb. He possessed endless strength and would never feel tired. He could easily crush martial artists of the same realm.
Since ancient times, there had been quite a number of people who thirsted for strength and gone down the same path.
Yang Yi did not know what realm the devil lord that was suppressed at the bottom of the cliff was at. However, he was certain that the devil lord was at least at the Sati Transformation realm!
If the leakage of Devil Qi was a sign of the devil lord’s revival, that meant that the Qixia sect was in immediate danger!
It should be known that the master of the Inner Court was only at the Sati Transformation realm!
The sect master and other elders might be of a higher level. However, there was no guarantee that this devil lord had stopped at the Sati Transformation realm.
Therefore, when Yang Yi saw this information, his heart beat wildly!
He started thinking of a way to spread the news. He had to make preparations and take precautions in order to minimize the danger.
To be honest, it was more difficult to keep the news to himself rather than to spread it. However, he did not wish to reveal his source of information to anybody else.
“Sigh, I thought the Qixia sect was a tree that could stand tall. Who knew that the foundation of this tree isn’t solid either.”
The demons in the mountain were restless. Now, there was the leak of Devil Qi. Yang Yi felt that danger was approaching, but he endured for another day.
It was almost evening.
After a day of painstaking cultivation, Yang Yi did not leave Xu Menghua’s residence immediately.
Instead, he quietly took out a wooden box.
It was not that he did not trust Zhuang Chenglu, but his knowledge of pharmacology was too shallow. It was better to appraise it before consuming it.
In the Qixia sect, the only experienced person who Yang Yi trusted was Manager Xu.
“This is a python blood pill. If you take it at the Blood Refining stage, it will help regulate your Qi and blood. It’s suitable for your current condition.”
Xu Menghua was rather emotional.
Was this how a child of a rich family was?
Looking at the color of the python blood pill, it was considered high-grade.
If it was sold on the market, the price would definitely be more than 3,000 taels, and it might not even be possible to buy it.
“Manager Xu, are you sure this is a python blood pill?” Yang Yi was not as delighted as Xu Menghua expected him to be.
“I can’t be wrong.” Xu Menghua was indifferent.
“Earlier, I heard some seniors and juniors talking about dragon blood pills…” Yang Yi deliberately brought the topic up.
“Dragon blood pills? That kind of pill is very difficult to cultivate. Its effect is stronger than the python blood pill, but very few pill cultivators are willing to cultivate them.” Xu Menghwa smiled.
This time, Yang Yi finally understood.
This python blood pill was the low-quality version of the dragon blood pill. He had been cheated again!
Yang Yi was furious.
One should never make a promise if one could not keep it.
Why did she give him a cheap version of the pills when she promised him high-grade pills?
There was something terribly wrong with that woman.
“Yang Yi, were cheated by someone and bought python blood pills at the price of dragon blood pills?” Xu Menghua frowned slightly.
It was common for such things to happen to rich disciples who did not know much about the world.
“Forget it.” Yang Yi bowed and took his leave.
Since things had come to this, it was impossible to seek an explanation from Zhuang Chenglu.
After all, he was only an outer disciple and his words had no weight.
It was better to have low-grade pills than nothing. He paid for these pills with 80 taels of silver and some medicinal herbs. Overall, it was still a steal for him, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Yang Yi returned to the wooden hut with the pills in his hand.
“Where were you? I’ve been looking for you!”
He did not expect someone to be standing in the courtyard.
It was Zhuang Chenglu!
At this moment, the sun had set behind the mountains, casting a shadow over the grass and trees. Even her face could not be seen clearly.
However, her silhouette seemed tired. She was not as energetic as she usually was.
“Senior Sister Zhuang, why are you here?” Yang Yi was about to vent his anger on Zhuang Chenglu, but when she showed up unexpectedly, he found himself at a loss for words.
“Here, this is a dragon blood pill. Keep it well!” Zhuang Chenglu walked up and stuffed a wooden box into Yang Yi’s hand.
“What about the pill from before?” Yang Yi could not understand Zhuang Chenglu’s actions.
“That was a python blood pill. It’s a fine pill, but it’s not on the same level as the dragon blood pill. I promised you that I would give you a dragon blood pill. I won’t give you a lesser item.”
Zhuang Chenglu walked out of the shadows. Her face was red, and she looked mesmerizing.
She was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday. Her chest was wet. She did not even change her clothes when she came to deliver the pills.
“Are you sure there are no problems with the pill this time? To tell you the truth, Senior Sister, I was quite depressed just a moment ago. I know that a python blood pill isn’t cheap. I wouldn’t have complained even if you promised me a python blood bill in the beginning.” Yang Yi expressed his thoughts. Exchanging 80 taels of silver for the python blood pill was already a steal. The main reason for his depression was Zhuang Chenglu’s lies. They made his heart drop.
“Oh? You knew that it was a python blood pill? I was too late,” Zhuang Chenglu said regretfully, “Zhang Xiaohu’s injuries were more serious than I imagined. I was actually cultivating antidote pills for him yesterday. When you pressed me for the pill, I started on another pill furnace and hastily cultivated a python blood pill for you.”
“…” Yang Yi did not know how to respond for a while.
“Actually, you could’ve told me that. I don’t mind waiting for another day.” He also hoped that Zhang Xiaohu’s condition would improve. Waiting for a day for this was nothing.
“That won’t do.” Zhuang Chenglu raised her tone and said, “It’s okay to lie, but you can’t go back on your word. If I said that I’ll do it in five days, then I’ll do it in five days.”
If she could not cultivate dragon blood pills as promised, there was no point in sticking to the schedule, right?
Yang Yi could not understand her logic.
However, he did not want to argue further about this. Zhuang Chenglu did not have any special relationship with him to begin with, and he did not expect her to help him wholeheartedly. It was already enough for her to come and hand over the real dragon blood pill.
In the end, Yang Yi did not put in too much effort to earn this. It was still a steal for him no matter what kind of pill they were.
Zhuang Chenglu yawned. She felt exhausted from cultivating the pills for a long time.
“Senior Sister, you should go back and rest. Thank you for the dragon blood pill,” Yang Yi said with a smile.
“Remember, you have to wait a day for the pill’s medicinal effects to be locked in before you can take them. In order to successfully cultivate them as soon as possible, I’ve asked for my master’s help. If you recklessly waste the precious pill, I’ll come after you!” Zhuang Chenglu made a ruthless expression with her pretty face as she raised her bamboo cane.
“Understood!” Yang Yi responded.
He took out the python blood pill.
“You can keep that too! You can take the python blood pill first, and when its effects wear off, take the dragon blood pill. Consider this as my apology for deceiving you again.”
Zhuang Chenglu did not care about this little bit of money. Her face was filled with exhaustion as she swayed her body and left.
Yang Yi was slightly worried about this situation.
Recently, the Qixia sect had not been peaceful. Some unknown person was launching sneak attacks on other disciples. Quite a few disciples had already suffered heavy casualties.
Yang Yi came to a sudden realization. Only then did he remember that the instigator of all this was the Mountain-hugging Fist. He immediately felt relieved.
“Alright, now that everything is ready, it’s time to focus on breaking through to the Bone Refining stage!”
Yang Yi held the two wooden boxes. He was full of confidence.
He had already accumulated enough spirit accumulation points. Breaking through was not a problem for him.
The most important thing was to bring the python blood pill and dragon blood pill’s medicinal effects into full play before breaking through!
