255: Tyrannical Demon Pill

"Father, have you really decided to support the Second Prince?"

Hong Lie still didn't understand his father's thoughts; it was clear that the Third Prince was the most likely successor to the throne.

"Of course, the Second Prince's ideas perfectly align with mine, and he doesn't lack supporters."

Sitting up from the ground, Hong Feng's head had completely recovered.

"It's just that His Highness, the Second Prince, still lacks a powerful helper to assist him in seizing the Dragon Vein."

"Father, stop thinking about it. The Third Prince is surrounded by experts, and eighteen of the Great Liang's twenty-seven Noble Families support him."

Hong Lie shook his head, seemingly refuting his father's ridiculous idea.

"Ah, you're still young." Hong Feng patted Hong Lie's shoulder, his gaze fixed on Qiyang City in the distance.

"Isn't there a peerless expert there?"

Qiyang City, Chen Family Courtyard.

Chen Heng frowned as he looked in the direction of Zhenxi City.

He sensed a very ominous aura and saw a golden light suddenly appear from the clouds.

"What does that have to do with me?" Shaking his head, Chen Heng walked into Bai Jun's small courtyard.

"Big Brother Chen, the first batch of dragon phoenix golden elixirs has been refined, it's just that the quality is a bit ordinary."

Bai Jun scratched his head and handed Chen Heng three golden-red Medicinal Pills he held in his palm.

"This is... ordinary quality?" Chen Heng looked at the three Medicinal Pills, radiating Spiritual Qi, in his hand, staring blankly at Bai Jun.

These Medicinal Pills look even more potent than the dragon tiger great tonic pill!

If these are considered ordinary, what would a top-grade one look like?

"That's right. A top-grade dragon phoenix golden elixir should have Dragon and Phoenix phantoms circling around the Medicinal Pill, but mine doesn't."

Bai Jun sighed with a hint of regret. This batch of Medicinal Pills used many rare treasures.

Of course, the large pile of dragon bones from the evil dragon doesn't count.

And Phoenix marrow doesn't count either; it can be replenished at any time.

"I finally understand why protagonists in novels often also Cultivate as Alchemists." Chen Heng sighed, only now realizing the amazing aspects of an Alchemist.

"Wait for me here for a moment; I'll test the effects of these Medicinal Pills."

Chen Heng tucked the three Medicinal Pills into his embrace and turned to leave Bai Jun's small courtyard.

"Oh, and if I'm satisfied with the effect, then you can pack up and prepare to leave. You'll be in seclusion with me for a month."

"Alright, as long as there's food and drink." Bai Jun nodded; he didn't mind going into seclusion... Returning to his own small courtyard, Chen Heng closed the door and opened the optimization system.

Next to the dragon phoenix golden elixir in his eyes, a large 'Optimization' appeared.

Chen Heng didn't hesitate and directly clicked on Optimization.

He currently had forty-nine Optimization attempts left, which would be enough for a month of seclusion.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the effect of the Optimized dragon phoenix golden elixir would satisfy him.

A flash of light passed, and two of the three dragon phoenix golden elixirs in Chen Heng's hand disappeared, with one remaining in his palm.

He opened his system backpack and took out the Optimized Medicinal Pill.

"This... doesn't look like a good thing."

Chen Heng looked at the two blood-red Medicinal Pills in his hand, a bit hesitant to consume them.

The originally Spiritual Qi-infused Medicinal Pills had turned into two bizarre Medicinal Pills wreathed in black qi, and they also exuded a tyrannical aura.

[tyrannical demon pill: Extracts the resentment and tyranny from the deceased Dragon and Phoenix Materials, vastly increasing cultivation and Qi and blood. After consumption, it requires three hours to absorb the medicinal power. During this process, reason will be replaced by tyrannical emotions. Consume with caution.]

[Can increase ninety-five years of cultivation and seven thousand five hundred points of Qi and blood.]

"Such good effects?" Chen Heng looked at the tyrannical demon pill in his hand, feeling an urge to swallow it immediately.

But his reason made Chen Heng stop his movements.

He knew what he was like when he went mad; this Medicinal Pill was not suitable for consumption at home.

"Putting everything else aside, the fact that this thing can be mass-produced is just insane."

After putting away one dragon phoenix golden elixir and two tyrannical demon pills, Chen Heng planned to call Bai Jun and find a good place for seclusion together.

During this seclusion, Chen Heng intended to greatly improve his cultivation and Qi and blood to see where Qian Fa's so-called Human Race limit was.

He also wanted to see if he could Breakthrough from Xiantian Grandmaster to the Celestial Being Realm.

"Let's go, time for seclusion."

Chen Heng walked into Bai Jun's small courtyard and said to Bai Jun, who was cleaning the spirit gathering furnace.

"Okay, let's go." Bai Jun didn't hesitate at all. After putting the spirit gathering furnace into his snake skin pouch, he followed Chen Heng out of the Chen Family Courtyard.

Although Chen Fugui was very displeased that Chen Heng was leaving right after returning, as a father, he couldn't object to his son wanting to go into seclusion.

He could only tell him about a small mountain he had bought outside the city during the time Chen Heng was lost.

"Seclusion, seclusion, you need a quiet place. There's not even a blade of grass on that mountain, let alone any noise."

"Father, I'm a martial artist, not an immortal cultivator; any place will do."

Chen Heng naturally wouldn't go to such a place to suffer; inside the city was best.

A long time ago, Chen Fugui had bought a mansion for Chen Heng in the city specifically for his martial arts practice.

But Chen Heng was lost before he could use it, and now it was finally put to good use.

"We're leaving. Just shout if you need anything."

Chen Heng waved at Chen Fugui, then pulled Bai Jun into the carriage driven by Old Liu.

As for that kid Luo Shuo, Chen Heng had entrusted him to his subordinates early this morning.

He was now having fun in the city.

The mansion where Chen Heng practiced martial arts wasn't too big, only about two and a half times the size of the Chen Family Courtyard.

But overall, it was sufficient and wouldn't affect others.

"Old Liu, come pick me up in a month."

After giving instructions to Old Liu, Chen Heng led Bai Jun into the mansion and locked the main gate.

"Go, go do Alchemy. Don't forget, the startling swan sword in your hand is still on loan from me."

Chen Heng assigned a courtyard to Bai Jun, while he himself walked into a secret chamber made entirely of granite and steel.

"Good place, just a bit fragile."

Chen Heng poked the steel wall next to him and accidentally made a hole.

Collecting his thoughts, Chen Heng sat cross-legged on a futon, took out the tyrannical demon pill, and put it into his mouth.

Instantly, an extremely tyrannical emotion consumed Chen Heng's mind. He now desperately wanted to kill two people to vent.

"It's a good thing no one is around, otherwise it would be terrible..."

Although Chen Heng had guessed that the side effects would be significant, he didn't expect them to come so fiercely.

The almost brutal medicinal power surged wildly through Chen Heng's Meridians, but Chen Heng quickly suppressed it.

Faint black qi emanated from Chen Heng's body, and his eyes were blood-red like a demon.

"Damn, this feels good..."

Three hours passed quickly, and the medicinal power of the first tyrannical demon pill was completely absorbed. Chen Heng's cultivation and Qi and blood had greatly improved.

Name: Chen Heng

Qi and blood: 79100

Cultivation: 1121 years (Xiantian Grandmaster)

"Not bad, there's an improvement." Chen Heng grinned with satisfaction, pulling out the second tyrannical demon pill from his embrace.

Then, throwing the second tyrannical demon pill into his mouth, Chen Heng had no intention of stopping at all.
