836: The Treasure Trove of Demonic Path!

How was this just a Storage Ring? This was simply a miniature Demonic Path treasury!

Dozens of ferocious-looking Magic Treasures and demonic weapons, overflowing with Devilish Qi, floated in the air; at minimum, they were all Heaven-Grade Weapons! Several core demonic banners and bone beads among them radiated a heart-palpitating pressure, clearly being existences at the Quasi-Dao Artifact level! Black light circulated within them like Vicious Beasts waiting to devour someone.

As far as the eye could see, there were Mid-Grade Spirit Stones truly piled up like mountains! Their quantity was like an undulating miniature mountain range, flickering with a dazzling spiritual light! There were likely millions of them!

Various Ores flickering with eerie light, thousand-year-old Demonic Path baleful jade, Soul crystals sealing the essence spirits of powerful Yao Beasts, ancient Jade Slips recording secret Demonic Technique scriptures... a dazzling array, too many to count, almost filling every corner of the ring's space.

What surprised Yao Delong the most was an area independently protected by a powerful Restriction! Inside were rows of medicine shelves carved from ten-thousand-year cold jade! Countless extremely rare Spirit Medicines were arranged there by category! Poisonous plants, demonic flowers, Yin spirit reishi... their ages were easily several thousand years, and there were even a few varieties radiating an ancient aura that were nearly extinct!

“As expected of the Mad Extreme Demon Lord who entrenched himself in the Eastern Region for many years and was in charge of Spirit Plant Peak for so long!” Yao Delong sighed emotionally in his heart. “This wealth and foundation is definitely comparable to the entire collection of an ordinary Body Integration Early Stage powerhouse!”

His Divine Thought quickly swept over the medicine shelves, and soon, his gaze locked onto several Spiritual Plants carefully sealed in crystal jade boxes!

The leaves were exactly nine in number! Each leaf presented a Soul-like translucent texture, and the leaf veins flowed with emerald vitality like living things. At the core, a point of faint light flickered, radiating a dense Soul aura and a trace of profound Reincarnation power—nine-leaf soul returning grass! And there were nearly ten of them!

What made Yao Delong's heart race even more was that he also saw several fruits nearby that were as red as fire, with what seemed like fire spirits dancing inside—crimson sun soul fruits! A small pile of azure crystals that looked like solidified starlight and emitted a cool Soul aura—star tear crystals! A mass of dark yellow viscous liquid radiating the weight of the earth and dragon prestige—earth vein dragon marrow! And pieces of crystal-clear red jade with a blood-like luster flowing inside—ten thousand year blood jade marrow!

These were actually the core primary ingredients for refining that legendary Heaven-Defying Divine Pill—the nine aperture spirit nurturing pill! The Mad Extreme Demon Lord had actually collected so many!

Yao Delong suppressed the excitement in his heart. With a move of his Divine Thought, he took out three of the best-looking nine-leaf soul returning grass, along with one portion each of the crimson sun soul fruit, star tear crystal, earth vein dragon marrow, and ten thousand year blood jade marrow, teleporting them out directly. Spiritual light flickered as the rare medicinal ingredients floated quietly by his side.

“Heavenly Cherry, the nine-leaf soul returning grass has been found! And in sufficient quantity!” Yao Delong gently placed the ring back onto her jade finger, his voice carrying a hint of excitement. “Not only that, your father even had most of the core ingredients for refining the nine aperture spirit nurturing pill here! Truly, the heavens are helping me!”

He showed the extracted medicinal ingredients to Luo Tianying: “I will take these ingredients first. Once I find the other primary ingredients in the future and refine the nine aperture spirit nurturing pill, it will surely take your Primordial Spirit's Origin to the next level! You might even hope to charge towards a higher Realm!”

Looking at those Spirit Medicines radiating powerful energy fluctuations, there wasn't much surprise or greed in Luo Tianying's eyes, only unconditional trust and deep reliance on Yao Delong. She just gave a soft “Mm,” leaning her head on Yao Delong's shoulder. “If your husband says you can refine it, then it will definitely be refined. I'll listen to you in everything.”

This unreserved trust made Yao Delong feel more satisfied than any treasure. He lightly kissed her forehead and then asked, “By the way, Heavenly Cherry, what about the Clone you condensed by Cultivating the Dual Source Dao Derivation True Scripture? Is it going smoothly?”

Hearing this, Luo Tianying gave him a charmingly resentful look, her red lips pouting slightly with a hint of jealousy: “Hmph, you just finished ‘treating’ my original body, and now you're already thinking about my Clone? Could it be that your husband wants to ‘have his way with Clones’ and hold one in each arm?” Her appearance was full of variety and charm, yet carried the coquettishness of a young girl.

Yao Delong laughed and quickly explained seriously, “My wife, where are your thoughts wandering! I was thinking of your father-in-Law's deathbed entrustment! Right now, your mother is still imprisoned and suffering in the Heavenly Demon Sect; how can we just sit by and watch?” His tone became solemn. “I was thinking of letting your Clone take the first step and sneak back into the Demonic Domain to scout for news. Although the Sun Moon Divine Cult is currently weak, the Heavenly Demon Sect stands behind it. I speculate that the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demon Sect shouldn't know the specific reason for your father's fall yet. If your Clone can return quietly, she might be able to obtain some key intelligence.”

At the mention of her mother, the charm in Luo Tianying's eyes instantly vanished, replaced by deep longing and worry. She nodded gently: “your husband is thoughtful. I have indeed already sent the Clone carrying the Demonic Path Origin back to the Demonic Domain. However, she is currently hiding her identity and doesn't dare to make a sound. After all, my cultivation has improved too quickly; if the Heavenly Demon Sect higher-ups notice and connect it with my father's fall... they will inevitably think of the Reverse Chaos Demon Transformation Technique, and the consequences would be unimaginable then.” Her tone carried caution.

“Such an arrangement is excellent!” Yao Delong praised. “Be sure to hide carefully; safety comes first. As for the conflict between the Nine Nether Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Cult... let them fight like dogs first. we can just use their momentum against them to weaken the Nine Nether Sect's power!”

A glimmer of wise light flashed in his eyes: “The priority right now is to first solve the trouble with your Primordial Spirit! With this nine-leaf soul returning grass, I will immediately start the furnace to refine pills!”

Having said that, Yao Delong delayed no further. He rose to his full height, casually draped on his robes, and walked to the open area in the center of the Immortal Cave.

With a thought!

Buzz—!

A primitive, heavy, and vast-aura-radiating giant cauldron appeared out of thin air, landing heavily on the ground! It was exactly the one gifted by Junior Martial Uncle Dan Chenzi—the mountain river sun moon cauldron!

Upon the cauldron's body, phantoms of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and stars slowly circulated, as if it carried a Small World! A majestic surge of spiritual power instantly filled the entire Immortal Cave, even seeming to push away the dense Devilish Qi a bit.

As for refining the great void spirit nurturing pill, Yao Delong was already well-practiced. With a solemn expression, he sat cross-legged before the cauldron.

“Rise!”

With a low shout, his fingertips triggered the Pill Fire! The Glazed Hearth Fire was accurately cast into the cauldron!

The refining began!

Yao Delong's hands turned into a blur of afterimages, throwing various already prepared auxiliary medicinal ingredients into the cauldron with a smooth, flowing motion.

Fire control, purification, pill fusion, spirit nurturing... every step was as precise as the operation of the Heavenly Dao, filled with a rhythm that was pleasing to the eye.

Brilliance circulated within the cauldron, and medicinal fragrance permeated the air, gradually condensing into a strange fluctuation that made even the Soul feel comfortable.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Luo Tianying and Qiong Shuang, who were sitting outside the Immortal Cave chatting while acting as Protectors for their husband, raised their heads simultaneously and looked toward the dim sky of the Demon Summoning Abyss, which was perpetually shrouded in Devilish Qi!

In the sky, at some unknown point, large patches of demonic clouds were forcibly dispersed by an invisible force!

A mass of thick tribulation cloud covering dozens of miles was frantically gathering! Within the ink-black cloud layers, dazzling lightning snakes darted madly, and a destructive aura spread out!

A thick purple Pill Lightning, condensed from pure lightning Law and capable of easily striking dead a Void Refining Early Stage Cultivator, crashed down toward the Immortal Cave where Yao Delong was located with the power to tear the heavens asunder!
