51: The Secret of Honeydew

"Master, my Myriad Souls Control Mind-Cultivation Technique, isn't it good?"

Ancient Spirit walked out from the side, came to the Wood Demon Elder's side, plucked a nine-petaled red and white flower from his head, and sniffed it.

"Hmm, with our cooperation, we can enslave and conquer demons while they are alive, and after they die, their demon souls can be absorbed into the demon nation. It's not a waste at all."

Hearing this, the Wood Demon Elder's body trembled.

This method was simply more demonic than demons themselves.

"Tell me everything you know about this place and the supreme sacred mellow liquid." Li Jiangchen picked up a spiritual fruit from the table and put it into his mouth. Immediately, sweet juice burst open in his mouth.

"Yes, Emissary."

The Wood Demon Elder respectfully recounted everything.

It turned out that this demon was an Elder of the Hibiscus Flower lineage of the Yao Race, located in the Green Forest Domain, under the rule of the Senluo Demon Lord.

Besides the Senluo Demon Lord, there were eight other Demon Lords formed from grass and wood spirits Cultivating on this Suspended Mountain.

Apart from the central Tree King Domain, they each waged war, divided a domain, and ruled the entire Suspended Mountain.

As for the supreme sacred mellow liquid, it was a spiritual liquid bestowed by the Great Compassion Tree King.

Every ten years, the Tree King Domain would open, and the nine Demon Lords would offer nectar. Based on the quantity of nectar, they would be ranked and could receive the supreme sacred mellow liquid bestowed by the Tree Spirit.

This spiritual liquid had immense benefits for the Demon Lords of the grass and wood lineage.

Recently, it was only ten days until the Tree King Domain opened.

For this, the nine Demon Lords openly and secretly contended, plundering grass and wood tribes that could produce nectar, forcing them to continuously produce nectar.

"It seems that to enter the Tree King Domain and obtain the supreme sacred mellow liquid, I still need to find a way to get enough nectar.

However, the simplest way is to control a Demon Lord." Li Jiangchen snapped his fingers, understanding the key.

A Demon Lord ruling a domain would naturally collect the most nectar.

However, since the nectar condensed by the grass and wood demons of Suspended Mountain has the effect of Aperture Convergence, I might as well try it first.

"Where is the nectar accumulated by the Hibiscus Flower clan?"

"Emissary, please see." The Hibiscus Flower Elder waved his hand, and the ancient tree behind him split open, revealing stacks of emerald green nectar, exuding an enticing herbal fragrance.

Li Jiangchen walked over, picked up a drop of nectar with his finger, and sensing the strong Yimu Essence Qi contained within, his eyes gradually narrowed.

The Yimu Essence Qi contained in these nectars would cause the cultivation of any wood demon who refined it to skyrocket.

"The Great Compassion Tree King indeed has excellent methods. Harvesting nectar once every ten years, after refining it, is equivalent to countless wood demons Cultivating for him.

Presumably, only wood demons born on this Suspended Mountain can condense nectar, which is also an influence of his Divine Ability and Dao." Li Jiangchen placed the nectar back on the tip of the pyramid.

"However, the quality of these nectars is mediocre; they should all be condensed by wood demons who have entered the Dao, right?"

"Emissary is sagacious." The Hibiscus Flower Elder took out a drop of nectar from his embrace. Its emerald green color was as rich as ink, like a gemstone, and the Yimu Essence Qi it contained far surpassed the previous ones.

Li Jiangchen reached out and took it, only to feel that the Yimu Essence Qi contained within was hundreds of times that of the ordinary nectar just now, yet the energy was even purer.

"Lord Emissary, this is Medium Grade nectar that I condensed by consuming one year of my cultivation."

"Medium Grade?"

"Exactly. nectar is divided into three grades: High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade. wood demons who have entered the Dao can only condense Low Grade nectar, while Elders at the Great Demon level can condense Medium Grade.

As for High Grade, only those at the Demon Lord level can condense it.

For every difference in grade, the energy contained within the nectar differs by a hundredfold, and its value also differs by a hundredfold."

Li Jiangchen held the Medium Grade nectar, and his spiritual sense permeated it. Besides the rich Yimu Essence Qi, he also detected a trace of special power.

It was very faint; if not for a Demon King who had given birth to spiritual sense or someone in the God Observation Realm, it would be impossible to detect.

Pfft! He crushed the nectar in his palm, and immediately, rich Yimu Essence Qi burst forth, spreading throughout the area. The Hibiscus Flower Elder greedily inhaled it.

Li Jiangchen, meanwhile, activated his acupoints, secretly absorbing that trace of special power.

A moment later, he felt that the acupoints in his body, which were as stable as mountains, actually loosened slightly, showing signs of drawing closer to each other.

"This is... Magnetic Force."

"So, the rumored power that can make Human Race Martial Artists connect their acupoints is this Magnetic Force of the Suspended Mountain."

The five Suspended Mountains hanging upside down in the Void Realm had long attracted the attention of countless demons and Human Race Martial Artists.

Some suspected that these five Suspended Mountains were interconnected, a treasure far surpassing a Spiritual Artifact.

But countless years had passed, yet no one could refine them, or even control the Magnetic Force of this place.

However, within the Great Compassion Tree King's Dharma Realm, one could condense nectar and quietly refine a trace of Magnetic Force.

"The Great Compassion Tree King's calculations are probably far beyond what I imagined." Li Jiangchen's eyes showed a hint of solemnity.

Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to encounter such an ancient monster.

Just then, a commotion came from outside the Hibiscus Flower tree cave.

"Old man, this year's nectar should be handed over. If there's one less, we'll take your clan's young ones as payment."

Hearing this, the Hibiscus Flower Elder's face changed.

Although he was controlled, he still had deep affection for the Hibiscus Flower clan in his heart.

"It's the Poison Vine Flower Demon, responsible for collecting nectar under the Senluo Demon Lord..." He looked at Li Jiangchen with a pleading expression.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Accompanied by the sound of heavy doors, a strange flower demon with a large abdomen and green leaves on its head entered. It greedily sniffed, and a hint of joy appeared on its face: "Such pure Yimu Essence Qi.

You old fellow, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself."

The Poison Vine Flower Demon lay down on the vine seat on its own, its heavy body immediately deforming the seat: "The Demon Lord has spoken, this year's nectar will be increased by thirty percent."

"Thirty percent?" The Hibiscus Flower Elder exclaimed.

"What? You're unwilling?" The flower demon opened its mouth with a cold expression, revealing jagged, sharp teeth, and its body exuded cultivation at the Peak Great Demon level.

Aside, Li Jiangchen saw it all and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Much of that additional thirty percent nectar would probably end up in this flower demon's mouth.

"Control him."

"Yes, Master."

Hearing this, the flower demon finally turned its head to notice the two of them. Vaguely sensing something amiss, it was about to flee when a Soul Thread shot into its forehead.

The next moment, the flower demon crawled down from the vine seat, its face full of terror, saying: "Greetings, two Emissaries."

"Hand over all the nectar you collected."

"Yes."

The Poison Vine Flower Demon slapped its belly, and immediately its belly rippled like waves. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out, and drops of emerald green nectar flew out of its mouth, instantly piling up into a small hill, numbering over ten thousand.

The topmost layer shone brightly, consisting of ten Medium Grade nectars.

"Its combat power is mediocre, but it actually possesses a storage-type Dao method, which is rare." Li Jiangchen observed.

Then, he pointed a finger, and the ten Medium Grade nectars exploded one after another. His spiritual sense swept over them, refining the Magnetic Force contained within.

A moment later, Li Jiangchen shook his head slightly: "The Magnetic Force contained in Medium Grade nectar is still too little; its effect on Aperture Convergence is weak."

"However, if it were High Grade nectar condensed by a Demon Lord, it should be able to connect my acupoints."

"In that case, I'll have to make a trip to the Senluo Demon Lord's place."

"Lead the way. Our destination is the Senluo Demon Lord's Immortal Cave."
