Chapter 365: Chapter 145: The Elixir of Life Extension and the Fate of the Demon! The Fierce Invasion!_1
“This is very dangerous,” Su Changkong simply began.
Despite Pei Yang having helped him a great deal, playing the role of Hong Zhenxiang meant charging into the fray in a bloody battle between armies numbering in the tens of thousands, which was exceedingly dangerous!
Pei Yang immediately said, “You can make any request! As long as I can fulfill it, I will not hesitate. I hope Mr. Su can lend a hand, just getting through this one blood battle will suffice!”
Pei Yang was quite sincere, allowing Su Changkong to make demands, agreeing to any request.
Su Changkong thought it over. Pei Yang had been significantly helpful during this period, and Su Changkong had his own considerations too.
Su Changkong would definitely leave Dafeng State City in the future, heading to a broader, more prosperous place to seek Innate Qi and ascend to the Innate Realm. Before that, he needed to enhance his strength to an unsurpassable level!
“I need resources for Blood Refining that can assist me in reaching the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation, as well as some medicinal ingredients I require.”
Su Changkong laid out his demands.
Now at the Qi Blood Ten Transformation, Su Changkong certainly needed to complete twelve Blood Refinings, reaching the pinnacle of the Qi-Blood Realm, which was also a prerequisite for entering the Innate Realm. If Pei Yang was willing to provide resources, Su Changkong could save plenty of time and effort.
“It can be done!” Pei Yang hardly hesitated before nodding in agreement to the request.
“Additionally… I need Demon Monster Crystal Cores!”
Su Changkong presented a new condition.
Demon Monster Crystal Cores were undeniably rare treasures, extremely hard to come by; Su Changkong had obtained only one from slaying Mo Ying.
A single Demon Monster Crystal Core, even if used by Su Changkong to concoct Monster Martial Pills, had a not insignificant chance of failure. The previous success in creating 3 Monster Martial Pills in one go was quite fortunate.
Should he fail, that Crystal Core would go to waste, but with several more, there would be many more chances, and Su Changkong felt he could concoct more Monster Martial Pills!
Thus, Su Changkong directly requested Demon Monster Crystal Cores from Pei Yang. As the State Governor, Pei Yang likely had them!
Upon hearing this, Pei Yang hesitated; the Pei Family did indeed have Demon Monster Crystal Cores, but they were exceedingly precious and of great use. Even if offered to the Great Flame Royal Family, they could be exchanged for significant benefits.
Even if there were enough Demon Monster Crystal Cores, it was not out of the question to exchange them for a strand of Innate Qi with the Yan Imperial Family! No one would consider having too many Demon Monster Crystal Cores a problem!
Yet, seeing the calm expression on Su Changkong’s face, Pei Yang quickly made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, “Three! My Pei Family has three stored Demon Monster Crystal Cores, and I can give them all to you!”
The Pei Family, having the deepest roots in Dafeng State City, had only three Demon Monster Crystal Cores in their treasury. Demon Monsters were not only powerful but also as intelligent as humans; hunting them was indeed very difficult.
“Three?” A light shone in Su Changkong’s eyes. Three Demon Monster Crystal Cores were incredibly useful whether for concocting Pill Medicine or forging Monster Soldiers and Monster Armor.
“With the one I have in hand, that makes four Demon Monster Crystal Cores. If I use them to concoct Monster Martial Pill, I should be able to succeed at least once or twice, right?” Su Changkong thought to himself, but he did not reveal this on the surface.
Seeing his reaction, Pei Yang thought Su Changkong was dissatisfied with the quantity and resolvedly said, “Additionally, if Mr. Su is skilled in Alchemy, I can also provide you with an extremely precious Pill Recipe! A Pill Recipe for a Life-Extending Pill called ‘Monster Life Pill’ that uses Demon Monster Crystal Cores as the main ingredient!”
“Life-Extending Pill, Monster Life Pill?”
At these words, Su Changkong was instantly moved!
Lifespan is something no one considers too lengthy, whether it be princes or generals, family experts; all of them do whatever they can to prolong their lives, the longer they live, the more possibilities they have!
For Su Changkong, lifespan was linked to potential value, and naturally, he used every means possible to extend his lifespan!
He knew that Demon Monster Crystal Cores could be used to concoct Life-Extending Pill Medicine, but without the recipe, it was of no use.
The Pei Family had the Pill Recipe for life-extending Pill Medicine!
“If I can concoct Monster Life Pill and extend my lifespan, that will be very crucial for me,” Su Changkong silently thought.
“Mr. Su, we only need your help to get through this blood battle!” Pei Yang said with utmost sincerity.
The offerings from Pei Yang were indeed generous: sufficient resources for Su Changkong to cultivate to the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation, three Demon Monster Crystal Cores, and an extremely valuable Monster Life Pill Recipe!
“Alright… then I’ll help you this once, but let me be clear; if it gets dangerous, I will escape immediately.”
In the end, Su Changkong nodded slowly, agreeing to help, while informing Pei Yang that he would do his best, but in extremely dangerous situations, he wouldn’t push his luck.
“Thank you, Mr. Su!”
Seeing that Su Changkong had finally agreed, Pei Yang breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully expressed his thanks.
Pei Yang was deeply impressed by the combat prowess Su Changkong demonstrated when slaying Mo Ying, which assuredly was no less than Hong Zhenxiang of the past. Now that Hong Zhenxiang had left, he believed that Su Changkong taking his place could be effective!
For Pei Yang, the upcoming blood battle between the two factions was of paramount importance, not only pertaining to the casualties of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry but also to the Pei Family’s standing in Dafeng State City and whether he could continue to firmly hold the position of State Governor.
If their side suffered too many casualties and severe losses in the battle against the Ferocious Wolf Clan, he might have to step down!
Therefore, despite the substantial cost, Pei Yang was willing to ask Su Changkong to step in and help.
