147: Chapter 147 The Demon Clan Refines a Powerful Treasure, Luo Chen Makes Another Transaction
The six Demon Race Soul Transformation experts took out Tier 5 Materials that were of little use to them and placed them all in front of their leader. The other Demon Race Soul Transformation experts could not just stand by and watch, their eyes filled with helplessness.
"Boss, since they've put it that way, the great treasure must indeed be refined. However, we've only just arrived in the Cultivation World and don't have many good resources on us, so we can only offer resources from the Demon Realm."
"Indeed, Boss. We can't compare to these few. They have dominated the Cultivation World for many years and must have plenty of good things in their possession. They should contribute more."
"We are just newcomers, and the resources we can bring out are limited. Brothers, we're relying on you."
Hearing their words, the six Demon Race Soul Transformation experts who had fled back could not help but freeze.
They had not expected them to say such a thing, clearly wanting to bleed them dry.
However, they had to produce resources now to let the leader refine the treasure, as they did not want to face Li Luochen again so soon.
If Li Luochen set his sights on them, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
"Fine, fine, fine, what you say makes sense. In that case, we will contribute a bit more resources."
"Boss, thank you for your hard work this time. Please refine a truly great treasure."
"Yes, yes, refine a great treasure, preferably one that can directly obliterate that fellow."
As this Demon Race Soul Transformation expert spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted toward Li Luochen.
The Demon of the Soul Transformation Middle Stage laughed. Although he could sense the discord among his Soul Transformation subordinates, it felt quite good—after all, he was the one who benefited.
They had only just arrived in the Cultivation World, and though they had run into a tough opponent, being able to obtain a Magic Treasure was already quite excellent.
Looking at the resources his Soul Transformation subordinates had brought out, he was certain they were absolutely enough to refine a Tier 5 Medium Grade Demonic Path Magic Treasure.
Although he was already in the Soul Transformation Middle Stage, he only had one Tier 5 Medium Grade Demonic Path Magic Treasure on him, and it was an offensive one.
These Materials would allow him to refine a defensive Magic Treasure, which would complement what he already had perfectly.
His expression turned solemn, and he gave a proper bow to his Soul Transformation subordinates.
"In that case, my thanks to you all. Rest assured, I will definitely refine the great treasure as quickly as possible."
Having said that, he quickly gathered the resources and returned to his room.
No matter what Li Luochen said out there, these Demon Race experts showed absolutely no reaction.
However, the Demon Race army was somewhat puzzled as to why their higher-ups would allow a Human Race Cultivator to spout such arrogant nonsense out there.
Yet when they looked at Li Luochen, they fell silent, for they could not see through his exact cultivation level.
When the Heaven-Covering Technique was active, no one could see his cultivation level clearly. After all, it was a two-layer Heaven-Covering Technique; one would need to exceed Li Luochen by eight minor Realms to see his cultivation clearly.
Because they couldn't see through Li Luochen's cultivation, they assumed he was some incredibly powerful existence, which had terrified their higher-ups into not daring to make a move.
Consequently, they also shrank back, avoiding looking at the shouting Li Luochen.
After some time, Li Luochen found it boring and flew back to the coast without hesitation.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by. Li Luochen was somewhat puzzled as to why those Soul Transformation Stage experts had not returned yet.
Just as he was getting a little anxious, the Human Race experts appeared.
The first to appear was Daoist Lord Leize, who brought out a large amount of resources containing the essence of the sun, moon, and stars with a face full of smiles.
Upon seeing these resources, Li Luochen instantly understood what they had gone to do.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Luochen quickly put away these resources and then handed the enlightenment tea to Daoist Lord Leize.
An expression of pleasant surprise appeared on Daoist Lord Leize's face, and he quickly put away the enlightenment tea leaves.
This time he did not leave, but merely directed his gaze toward the Demon Race on the sea, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"During this half-month, they didn't make a move?"
Li Luochen shrugged and said, "Indeed. No matter how I provoked them, they refused to make a move."
Hearing this, Daoist Lord Leize couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.
"You are the first existence to intimidate the Demon Race army like this. Truly impressive."
Before Li Luochen could answer, he saw two figures appear on the coast.
These two figures were none other than two other Soul Transformation experts, Daoist Lord Qingyun and Daoist Lord Qinghe.
The two of them had a very good relationship and had always acted together.
Seeing the two of them appear, Li Luochen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went forward to greet them.
Just as he drew near, two Storage Pouches flew toward him.
"Fellow Daoist, take a look!"
Li Luochen already knew what was inside. After a quick inspection, he handed the enlightenment tea to them.
Although it pained him a little to part with the enlightenment tea leaves, he was still quite satisfied if he could obtain the resources to transform his Secret Realm into a Grotto-Heaven.
When the time came, as long as he found a way to remove the Devilish Qi from those spiritual crystals and nurtured his Family's Spiritual Vein to a Tier 5 Peak Grade Spiritual Vein, he could use the purified spiritual crystals to upgrade the Spiritual Vein to a Tier 6 Low Grade Spiritual Vein.
As long as there was a Spiritual Vein of this quality within the Grotto-Heaven, the members of the Li Family would be fully capable of cultivating to a Realm beyond Soul Transformation inside it.
When they ascended to the Spirit Realm, they would also have enough strength to quickly establish themselves and find a piece of land to farm.
He wondered if there were any Grotto-Heavens in the current Cultivation World. If there were, wouldn't that mean there were also existences beyond the Soul Transformation Stage in the Cultivation World?
He also wondered if they would lend a helping hand when the Demon Race ran rampant.
As soon as this thought arose, Li Luochen quickly cast it to the back of his mind.
Whether others were willing to make a move had nothing to do with them. He only needed to protect his Family, and then slay as many of the Demon Race as he could to slow down their offensive.
After obtaining the enlightenment tea leaves, the two of them, Daoist Lord Qingyun and the other, bowed respectfully to Li Luochen and then hid nearby to Cultivate.
Not long after, Daoist Lord Qingmei and Daoist Lord Jinluo also returned. They similarly brought a large amount of resources containing the essence of the sun, moon, and stars, exchanging them for enlightenment tea from Li Luochen.
By the time Fengchen finally exchanged for the enlightenment tea leaves from his hands, Li Luochen felt somewhat helpless, as he did not have much enlightenment tea left on him.
"Fellow Daoists, the enlightenment tea leaves are gone for the short term. How about we wait a few years?"
"Of course, you can also prepare resources. Once I have more enlightenment tea leaves in hand, I will naturally inform you."
Hearing his words, Daoist Lord Leize and the others could only sigh helplessly.
"Since there were no more enlightenment tea leaves, they did not force the matter. After all, such things could only be encountered by chance and not sought after."
"Alright, if you get more enlightenment tea leaves, don't forget about us."
"Li Luochen smiled and said, "Alright, put your minds at ease. There definitely won't be any problem."
Hearing his assurance, the six Soul Transformation Daoist Lords finally settled down.
However, they no longer had any interest in monitoring the Demon Race army. Instead, they went to a hilltop some distance away from the coast, each with a cup of enlightenment tea, and began to Cultivate earnestly.
