375: Eight-tailed Demon Saint! Hu Ling!

At the same time, in Heavenly Demon City.

"City Lord, the number of refugees from the western great city has now exceeded 300,000."

Golden Eagle knelt on one knee before Hu Ling, reporting to her all the recent affairs in the city.

"How long can the remaining grain in the city last?"

Hu Ling swung her eight large tails behind her, her brows tightly furrowed.

In just a few months, relying on the Heavenly Fox Secret Art Chen Heng left her, Hu Ling had Cultivated from a small demon to a Demon Saint.

After she obtained the heavenly fox essence blood, her terrifying talent was completely awakened, and her Cultivation speed could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

To describe her in four words: the bearing of a Great Emperor.

No, it should be terrifying as such.

"At most three months. By then, even we probably won't have food to eat."

...Hu Ling was somewhat silent. Should she refuse those refugees entry into the city?

It wasn't impossible, but she had to strive to develop her master's forces, and population was the most important link.

Hundreds of thousands of people were a huge temptation for Heavenly Demon City and for her, and the vast majority were able-bodied laborers.

"You may go, Golden Eagle. I will find a way to deal with the food situation."

Hu Ling waved her hand, and the Golden Eagle Commander wisely turned and left.

He dared not offend this Young Miss now.

Not only because her strength had already reached Demon Saint, but also because the one behind her was truly too terrifying.

A few months ago, a large wave of Anomalies appeared near Heavenly Demon City.

Moreover, these Anomalies were exceptionally powerful; even a Demon Lord like him was no match, and it was estimated that a Demon King would struggle against them.

But Hu Ling, who was merely a Demon King at the time, stepped forward and, relying purely on brute force, hammered those Anomalies to death.

As for the source of that brute force, the Golden Eagle Commander naturally knew...

"Qian'er, send a message to the OP of Qianfa Tower, telling him I need to visit him."

Hu Ling beckoned, and a petite young girl with almost no Aura walked out.

"Yes."

The young girl did not hesitate, transforming into a gust of wind and disappearing from the room.

"It's still because my own strength is insufficient; I still need to rely on external help..."

Hu Ling sighed, looking at the token in her hand.

This was left to her by Chen Heng before he left last time, and he also told Hu Ling about the existence of Qianfa Tower.

He said that if she encountered something she couldn't solve and he wasn't around, she could seek help from the Qianfa Tower's OP.

As for the young girl who just left, she was a Spirit Fox demon she picked up in the city.

Unlike the noble Bloodline of Heavenly Foxes, Spirit Foxes are a race naturally meant to serve Heavenly Foxes.

And this young girl's talent was not bad, so Hu Ling kept her by her side to help.

Also, when her master returns, she can help her share a bit...

Thinking of this, Hu Ling's pretty face flushed slightly.

But she quickly adjusted her state, vigorously patted her cheeks, and continued to Cultivate.

"Only by Cultivating to Demon Emperor will I truly be qualified to stand by my master's side..."

...The next day.

Inside Qianfa Tower, Qian Fa had already learned that Hu Ling was coming to visit.

After sending Spirit Fox Qian'er away, he once again condensed a Physical Body.

No one had seen his true form except Chen Heng; he always met people using his condensed Physical Body.

Sitting in the reception room, Qian Fa awaited Hu Ling's arrival.

Knock knock knock.

A knock on the door sounded, and Qian Fa gently beckoned.

"Please come in."

Led by two Gold Badge Fashi, Hu Ling sat opposite Qian Fa.

"Miss Hu, may I ask what brings you to me today?"

Qian Fa smiled slightly, without the slightest Aura of a superior.

"I indeed have something to ask of you today." Hu Ling got straight to the point, without a single wasted word, direct and decisive.

"The number of refugees in the city is increasing, and the stored grain is almost depleted, enough to last for about two more months at most."

Hu Ling deliberately understated by one month, leaving herself some leeway.

"As for grain, we indeed don't have any." Qian Fa shook his head with some regret, but Hu Ling heard the unspoken meaning in his words.

"But we have a method that can allow Heavenly Demon City to last until the harvest season, it's just that I don't know if you can accept it."

"Tell me about it." Hu Ling nodded; the most urgent task now was to keep those hundreds of thousands of young and strong people.

"flesh and blood pill." Qian Fa said, taking out a brocade box from his In my arms.

"What is this?" Hu Ling frowned, opening the brocade box on the table.

A blood-red, smooth Medicinal Pill lay quietly within the brocade box, emitting wafts of fragrance.

"We in Qianfa Tower usually don't consume ordinary grain; we sustain ourselves with flesh and blood pills."

Qian Fa spoke slowly, looking up at the somewhat hesitant Hu Ling.

"However, this kind of flesh and blood pill has a drawback, which is that it shortens lifespan."

"But there are also benefits; after consumption, it can slowly enhance the body's strength."

"Look, these Gold Badge Fashi are my masterpieces."

"Oh, right, you used to call them Extreme Martial Artists."

Qian Fa beckoned to the Gold Badge Fashi beside him, and the Gold Badge Fashi immediately stepped forward, erupting with Qi and Blood.

Hu Ling observed the Gold Badge Fashi in front of her; his strength was at least Innate level or above.

Such monsters could be mass-produced; no wonder Qianfa Tower has endured for a thousand years.

"Can the Yao Race also use it?" On the matter of the flesh and blood pill, Hu Ling had no moral guilt.

It was already a blessing for those refugees to survive; lifespan was irrelevant.

If Hu Ling did not accept them, they would also die in the mouths of Anomalies outside the city.

"Of course, and the effect is even better." Qian Fa smiled, pushing the brocade box towards Hu Ling.

"You can also inform Mr. Chen about this; otherwise, if he blames me later, I won't be able to bear it."

Qian Fa knew Chen Heng's temper, so it was better to be cautious.

"I understand." Hu Ling put away the flesh and blood pill, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"If I need these flesh and blood pills, what price do I need to pay?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world; everything has a price.

"No, no, no, if Miss Hu truly needs them, we in Qianfa Tower have as many flesh and blood pills as you want."

"Mr. Chen and I are partners after all; providing you with some convenience is a harmless matter."

Qian Fa shook his head; his meaning was already very clear: helping Hu Ling was merely a means to curry favor with Chen Heng.

"I want 100,000 flesh and blood pills, and I will need more later."

Hu Ling glanced at Qian Fa, then turned and left Qianfa Tower... After Hu Ling left, the Gold Badge Fashi beside Qian Fa couldn't help but ask.

" OP, although we can mass-produce flesh and blood pills, 100,000 is still a bit..."

"You don't need to worry about this; I've got it." Qian Fa's body slowly melted into a pool of blood and seeped into the ground.

"Remember, do not provoke that Heavenly Fox; she is the possession of my partner."

"Yes!" The two Gold Badge Fashi saluted simultaneously.
