Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The Tiger General’s Underground Treasury, Bloodline Purifying Pill
“This!”
Thousand Faces Demon Monarch felt extreme inner shock.
Back when he was a middle-rank Demon Soldier Level monster beast, he had encountered the Tiger General and found him terrifying, which left him with a psychological shadow.
But now, the once fearsome strong being that had scared him had its tiger head chopped off by his own sect leader, dead and gone.
“Haha, so you also have your day!”
Thousand Faces Demon Monarch carefully stepped on the Tiger General’s carcass to make sure he was truly dead, then burst into triumphant laughter, “Sect Leader Big Brother, I’ll lead the way for you!”
In the heart of Fuyun Gloomy Forest.
Ye Feng and Thousand Faces Demon Monarch landed on a small hilltop.
Because the trees nearby were tall and lush, it was hard to notice this small hill, about tens of meters high, from above unless one looked closely.
“Sect Leader Big Brother, the entrance is here!”
The Shape-shifting Beast swelled its body to ten meters high, lifted a 100,000-pound boulder from the top of the small hill, and threw it aside, revealing a straight downwards rocky hole a hundred meters deep.
“Your shape-shifting talent is really useful,” praised Ye Feng.
“It’s nothing,” said Thousand Faces Demon Monarch proudly, shrinking his body before stretching out a hand with a flame ignited in his palm and leaping down first.
Ye Feng followed him closely.
After a continuous drop of one hundred and fifty meters, the two finally reached the bottom.
The area had become very spacious, with Moonlight Stones embedded in the walls around, lighting up the surroundings.
“Walking inside, you’ll find the Tiger General’s dwelling, and after that the underground treasure vault. But there’s a lock that ordinary people can’t break,” Thousand Faces Demon Monarch said while walking.
Ye Feng followed behind, looking around and noticing that there were quite a few pieces of antique furniture of considerable value, showing the Tiger General knew how to enjoy life.
Eventually, the two arrived in front of a solid stone wall.
There was a heavy and massive metal door, very sturdy, with lots of hacking marks, all unable to break through.
“Thud.”
Ye Feng hammered on the door, only causing it to dent inward, unable to break it open, his eyes revealing a trace of amazement.
“Sect Leader Big Brother, this is Meteorite Iron from beyond the heavens. It’s said that only those above the Fourth Layer of Element Gathering Realm can break through, but unfortunately, there are no artifact refiners who can refine it, so it has remained here.”
/div>
“How do we open it?”
“Big Brother, I have the key.”
Thousand Faces Demon Monarch swelled with pride, as one of his fingers turned into a fog and entered the keyhole of the Meteorite Iron door, then transformed into a key, successfully opening the door and revealing a secret chamber filled with items.
“There are dozens of Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, but unfortunately, they’re all damaged and won’t fetch many spirit stones.”
“Three large boxes of various spiritual medicines, but sadly they’ve been stored for too long and have lost more than half of their efficacy. They’ll only sell for a wholesale price.”
“There’s also three cubic meters of spirit mine, about the same yield as the one guarded by the Earth Frenzied Lizard; it’s worth at least three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. That’s a big profit!”
“And this last chest should contain Spirit Stones, right?”
Ye Feng checked each item in the treasury, then focused his gaze on a special chest at the end. Upon opening it, a dense spiritual pressure hit him, and inside were actually three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones and fifteen Middle Grade Spirit Stones!
“Where did all this come from?” Ye Feng asked, turning his head towards Thousand Faces Demon Monarch.
“It’s said that the Tiger General once cut off a Miniature Spirit Vein and took its core. These Spirit Stones should be from that time!”
Thousand Faces Demon Monarch was also uncertain, as it was just hearsay.
Ye Feng thoughtfully said, “I remember Elder Liu Yuzhi telling me that the Miniature Spirit Vein of Yunhua Sect was cut off by someone. So, could there be a connection here?”
But Ye Feng was just speculating and wasn’t certain either.
Soon, Ye Feng put all the treasures from the vault into System Space, and after another half an hour of searching the underground vault with Thousand Faces Demon Monarch, they discovered a square metal piece with strange ancient patterns.
“It’s actually this thing!”
Ye Feng spread his palm open, revealing another piece of metal of the same material in his hand.
“How is it like a magic trick, yet another one?” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch exclaimed in astonishment.
Ye Feng said, “I got one in Whitefloat City at the Heixuan Gate before, and I didn’t expect to get a second here. What exactly is recorded on these?”
“Generally speaking, it’s a treasure map,” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch speculated.
“Is it not possible that it’s a powerful secret technique?” Ye Feng stated his own guess.
But since the two metal pieces couldn’t be put together temporarily and had no special effects, Ye Feng could only throw them into the System Space.
After emptying everything valuable and movable from the Tiger General’s cave, Ye Feng left the depths below reluctantly.
Above ground.
Ye Feng packed up the box containing the ingredients for ten doses of “Bloodline Purification Pill”, handed over five hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones to the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch, and instructed, “Return the five hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones to the Myriad Commerce Alliance. Our Misty Sect does not engage in robbery. You have to pay for what you buy, understand?”
“Your subordinate won’t freeload ever again.”
The Thousand Faces Demon Monarch pocketed the Spirit Stones, and in Ye Feng’s presence, transformed into a burly man with bare arms, wielding a large saber, and a ferocious expression on his face. He flew towards the Myriad Commerce Alliance in Whitefloat City, paid the Spirit Stones in front of everyone, and then left with a flourish.
At the summit of Misty Peak.
Ye Feng sorted the ten portions of the “Bloodline Purification Pill” ingredients, compared them against the pill recipe to ensure there were no errors, and thought to himself, “System, can I really succeed in pill refining this way?”
“Sect Leader, rest assured, the virtual Alchemy Furnace is top-notch. As long as you have the pill recipe, gather the ingredients, and the surrounding environment meets the requirements, it’s a hundred percent success rate for pill creation,” the System assured him.
“Do the current conditions meet the requirements for refining ten Bloodline Purifying Pills?”
“They do!”
Receiving confirmation from the System, Ye Feng relaxed. With a thought, he summoned the Virtual Pill Refining Furnace. Suddenly, a strong wind appeared at the summit, and Spiritual Energy continuously gathered above him, condensing into an Alchemy Furnace phantom’s silhouette about two meters tall.
The four sides of the Pill Furnace were engraved with glowing array patterns, both ancient and sacred, capturing the attention of all the disciples of the Misty Sect.
“What is this for?”
“It looks like he’s refining pills.”
“The Sect Leader can actually refine pills?”
The disciples gathered around, whispering among themselves.
“Let the power of Heaven and Earth serve as fire, the Spirit Spring Water as the catalyst; Bloodline Purifying Pill, refine for me!”
Ye Feng poured all the ingredients into the Virtual Alchemy Furnace and then brought in the Spirit Spring Water to soak the Spiritual Medicine.
Whoosh!
A scorching flame appeared out of nowhere, swallowing the Virtual Alchemy Furnace whole.
The Spirit Spring Water abruptly began to boil, and steam surged skyward.
The Spiritual Medicine within the Pill Furnace started to react; residues were continually turned into ash, carried away by the wind, while the remaining medicinal liquid became purer and started to take shape.
Half an incense stick later.
The flame went out, and the Furnace vanished.
The crowd saw ten golden pills slowly descending, caught by Ye Feng’s hand, their enticing pill fragrance assailing the nostrils and attracting many Spiritual Beasts who ran over in frenzy.
“This is the Bloodline Purifying Pill, specifically refined for the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts. It can purify the bloodline and enhance potential. Each one can sell for at least a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones,” Ye Feng said, noting the confusion among the crowd and offering an explanation.
“That expensive?” the disciples almost choked on their words.
“Expensive?”
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows.
Just the raw ingredients cost a hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones, and after much effort, he had succeeded in refining them. Selling them for ten times the cost price seemed utterly reasonable, didn’t it?
After all, that’s how merchants operate!
Thinking this, Ye Feng’s smile gradually became uncontrollable.
“This seems to be another way to make a fortune!”
