136: The Toad General invites you to a banquet! (Please read on)

"It's done!"

"Soul Piercing Treasure Vase."

Shi Chuan cast several incantations, drawing the treasure vase from the cauldron closer to him.

The treasure vase was entirely dark, with intricate blood-red patterns on its surface, outlining a large toad's head.

The original wisp of Nether Qi within the treasure vase had transformed into a strand of Nether Profound Qi that could summon a Chu Si Yin General.

The Rank of the treasure vase had also risen to Peak Rank Two.

Furthermore, if a Core Formation Cultivator were to nourish this Magical Artifact in their Dantian with Divine Ability and magical power for many years, there would be a high probability of elevating it to the Magic Treasure stage of Rank Three.

Having three Early Core Formation stage Cultivators assist in Artifact Refining indeed made things much easier.

Chu Si Yin General!

"Appear!"

Shi Chuan raised his hand and cast several ancient incantations.

From the mouth of the treasure vase floating before him, a thick black smoke immediately billowed out, mixed with wisps of crimson blood Qi.

The blood Qi, imbued with spirit, gathered together to form a formidable Yin General with a toad's head and a human body, nearly two zhang tall. It was clad in dark, ferocious armor, holding a Soul Devouring Banner in its left hand, while three Yin Toad Nails swirled like swimming fish in its right hand.

Its Yin General aura had reached the level of a great Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"This is!"

"Netherworld Yin General?"

You Tong, whose Law Seed was a Yellow Spring Wandering Soul, immediately sensed the aura of a natural enemy from this massive blood-colored toad Yin General within the Artifact Refining Room, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

While Cang Sha and Wan Lixuan, one a Yao and one a Human, did not sense the same powerful natural enemy aura as You Tong, they could still perceive a Soul Cultivator's pressure from this Chu Si Yin General, a pressure no weaker than that of an Early Core Formation stage Cultivator, and this aura seemed to naturally suppress their Divine Souls.

As Cang Sha and Wan Lixuan's Divine Thoughts swept over it, whenever their Divine Thoughts attached to the Chu Si Yin General, they seemed to sink into a bottomless ocean, completely absorbed and unable to be recalled. This alone was enough to astonish them.

The Magical Artifact refined by their master was indeed extraordinary!

It was not of Magic Treasure Rank, yet it possessed the power of a Magic Treasure.

"Blood Gentleman."

You Tong, instantly suppressed by the natural enemy Yin General's aura, immediately had a thought.

The Soul Piercing Treasure Vase, which had previously subdued her, after being re-refined, its power had actually increased by a whole level.

This Netherworld Yin General was clearly toad-shaped, while Blood Gentleman's true form was a centipede demon.

Toads are also the bane of centipedes, and this was a Yin General.

With this, plus their three Early Core Formation stage Demon Cultivators, dealing with Blood Gentleman and the Golden Winged Spirit Gu would be foolproof.

Moreover, Shi Chuan now held both Formation Plates from Five Elements Immortal City.

Under the Formation's cover, no matter how fast the Golden Winged Spirit Gu's escape speed, how could it pass through the layered barriers of a Rank Three Formation?

"A'You, the birthday celebration is set for three days from now!"

"Invite Centipede Demon Xue Lang and Golden Winged Spirit Gu, two Fellow Daoist Demon Cultivators, to attend the banquet!"

Everything was ready, just waiting for the opportune moment.

"Yes, Master!"

You Tong quickly responded.

She then took out a communication Jade Slip from her Storage Pouch, and with her Divine Thought entering it, began sending banquet invitations to Blood Gentleman in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, and to Fellow Daoist Golden Winged Spirit Gu.

The matter of being able to consume the flesh and blood of Human Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Human Cultivator Prodigies was an temptation that no Core Formation Demon Cultivator could resist.

...

Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.

Near the depths of the mountain range.

A several-thousand-zhang cavernous mountain covered in miasma and demonic Qi.

This mountain was named Blood Cave Mountain, and it was once the lair of an Early Core Formation stage snake demon.

However, after that snake demon died of old age, none of its snake offspring advanced to Core Formation, so Blood Gentleman, who had long coveted this place, invited the Golden Winged Spirit Gu to jointly occupy Blood Cave Mountain.

The old friend of that Core Formation snake demon was an Early Core Formation stage old tree demon. Seeing two Early Core Formation stage Fellow Daoist Demon Cultivators occupy Blood Cave Mountain, he did not intervene but wisely took some of the snake demon's offspring and left Blood Cave Mountain.

However, Centipede Demon Xue Lang naturally would not let the fleeing old tree demon off.

He eventually mobilized his network of connections, found several Fellow Daoist Core Formation Demon Cultivators, and slaughtered all the snake offspring protected by the old tree demon, eradicating them completely to prevent any scenario where junior snake demons would Cultivate for thousands of years, reach Core Formation, and then try to reclaim the mountain.

As for the old tree demon, because he had some background, Blood Gentleman did not act against him.

Moreover, both were Early Core Formation stage, and trying to kill a fellow Rank tree demon with strong vitality was not an easy task.

At this time, inside Blood Cave Mountain.

In the mountain's belly, as far as the eye could see, there were various stone buildings.

This cluster of stone buildings was left behind by the snake demon of Blood Cave Mountain, dating back several millennia.

On the bluestone path in front of the stone buildings, there were many centipede-type minor demons, most of whom were Qi Refining stage. Each was about the size of an ordinary adult, walking upright, their massive centipede bodies swaying as they walked, which was quite frightening.

However, in Blood Cave Mountain, the Qi Refining stage centipede minor demons and snake minor demons of Centipede Demon Xue Lang were all given Shapeshifting Pills by Blood Gentleman. After consuming the Shapeshifting Pills, even minor demons who couldn't use illusions could take on a semi-human form.

Deep within the layers of ancient stone buildings.

There was a nine-story stone building resembling black jade. At the top of the stone building, spiritual incense wafted from an incense burner.

Inside the stone building, the ground was covered with thick furs.

Several Foundation Establishment female Cultivators with snake heads and human bodies stood by a wine table, holding several mutton-fat jade wine bottles.

On the wine table were three semi-human figures of Core Formation Demon Cultivators.

A large green jade stone plate was placed on the table, containing a crystal-clear, jelly-like piece of white meat, exuding a fragrance that mixed fruit and meat, making one's appetite stir.

"The flesh and blood of the White Jade Crystal Gu is truly fragrant!"

"Although it's slightly less fragrant than Human Foundation Establishment Cultivators, if this White Jade Crystal Gu's meat were from a Middle Core Formation stage one, it wouldn't lose to the flesh, blood, and essence of a Human Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"Brother Blood Gentleman is truly generous."

"I can consider the matter you asked of me. Fragrant Fox Lady has been busy lately, but in about a month, I will proactively bring this matter up to her. If that Sect ruins matter is truly as you say."

"Yourachievement will surely allow you to gain favor with the Lady. The next banquet hosted by Golden Eye Demon King will also have a seat for Brother Blood Gentleman."

"I heard that the next banquet will serve the flesh and blood of a Late Core Formation stage being."

Among the three Yao Race figures, one was a slender female fox demon, dressed in a light purple dress, with a large, fluffy tail gently swaying behind her. As she spoke, she tore off several pieces of White Jade Spirit Gu's flesh and stuffed them into her mouth, speaking with a look of utter enjoyment.
