85: Demons are coming

Senior Brother is here!

I'm just checking these Alchemy Furnaces again, looking for any flaws, so they don't explode when we're doing Medicine Refining.

Seeing that Qin Yue didn't understand his meaning, Shi Qianjun stepped forward and stopped Qin Yue.

"Junior Brother Qin, I wanted to ask you, why aren't you resting? Instead, you let those soldiers rest?

Did someone complain to you?

Those soldiers are really used to being lazy; they can't even stay up for one night. I originally requested diligent and honest soldiers, but it seems they've still delayed Junior Brother's work.

Once Junior Brother finishes Medicine Refining here, I will definitely go to their emperor and report them.

Also, where is the Disciple I assigned to Junior Brother for command? Why didn't he report to me that Medicine Refining had stopped?

Junior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely resolve this matter and give you an explanation."

Seeing Senior Brother Shi's angry face, Qin Yue quickly stopped Senior Brother Shi, who was about to turn around and find trouble.

"Senior Brother, don't be so anxious. Your Disciple, Little Yang, is very responsible.

I told him not to disturb you and to go back and rest first.

Those soldiers didn't go back to rest because they were tired, but because they had nothing to do, so I let them go back to sleep."

Hearing Qin Yue's words, Senior Brother Shi was startled and immediately asked,

"What?

Nothing to do?

Did something go wrong with Junior Brother's Medicine Refining?"

"It's not that Medicine Refining went wrong; it's that all the Medicinal Materials you provided have already been refined, so there's nothing left to do."

Qin Yue looked helpless. He hadn't expected Senior Brother Shi to be so impatient. Couldn't he wait for him to finish speaking before thinking about accountability?

"Junior Brother Qin has finished refining all the Medicinal Pills?

Those were Medicinal Materials raised by the Imperial Family and the aristocratic families in the capital combined.

I heard the Alchemists of this world say that to consume all these Medicinal Materials, even if all the Alchemists in the capital gathered, it would take at least a month.

Even if Junior Brother's Alchemy is stronger than theirs, it shouldn't be that much faster!"

Qin Yue knew that more words were useless, so he led Senior Brother Shi to the place where the Medicinal Materials were stacked yesterday.

Here, the Medicinal Materials that were originally piled up like mountains had all disappeared.

Instead, boxes of Medicinal Pills were stacked on the ground.

Qin Yue, feeling that the original Blood Replenishing Powder was inconvenient to carry, improved the prescription and changed all the Blood Replenishing Powder into pills.

On the ground, box after box, were Blood Replenishing Powder and Blood Activating Pills.

So many Medicinal Pills laid out before Shi Qianjun made him have to believe that Junior Brother Qin's Alchemy was indeed so powerful.

These Blood Replenishing Powder and Blood Activating Pills, once distributed, would be enough for everyone in the entire Demon Slayer Division for a year.

Although Qin Yue had been doing Alchemy all night, he was full of energy because his System was doing Alchemy on autopilot, allowing his consciousness to rest.

So, after sending everyone back this morning, he was still inspecting the Alchemy Furnaces.

"Junior Brother, it seems that Senior Brother was right to call you here to join the Demon Slayer Division.

In the future, I hope you can do more Medicine Refining and train more Medicine Refining Disciples to expand the Alchemy Hall, so we can complete our mission earlier."

Qin Yue didn't care. Except for the exclusive Alchemy of Chaoyang Cave, which couldn't be spread indiscriminately, the Holy Sect did not prohibit the large-scale teaching of other basic Alchemy and basic Martial arts study.

After the news spread that Qin Yue had refined all the Demon Slayer Division's Medicinal Materials in one night, Qin Yue officially established himself in the Demon Slayer Division.

Everyone knew that a powerful Alchemy Hall Master had arrived at the Demon Slayer Division.

Many young people aspiring to Alchemy wanted to become Qin Yue's Disciple, but Qin Yue didn't accept any.

Learning Alchemy was fine; Qin Yue was very willing to guide them when he was free, but becoming a Disciple was not allowed.

Qin Yue didn't like taking Disciples, nor did he like the feeling of being responsible for Disciples.

Qin Yue's life in the Demon Slayer Division had always been very comfortable.

Every day was spent Medicine Refining, Cultivating, and researching Puppetry.

Although there were more things to do than when he was in Qinghua Village, preventing him from concentrating on researching Puppetry, having more resources allowed him to make progress in the modification of Puppets and the refining of the Six Demon Pill.

Life, of course, could not continue so peacefully. One day, news came from the southern branch of the Demon Slayer Division.

Bai Jinghong, the Hall Master of the Demon Slayer Division's Sword Hall, encountered an ambush by the Yao Race while leading Disciples to slay demons.

At that time, fewer than one in ten of the Sword Hall Disciples who followed Hall Master Bai survived. Although Hall Master Bai broke through the encirclement, his whereabouts are now unknown.

Upon receiving this news, Qin Yue knew that his leisurely days were over; the demons had begun their counterattack.

Because Qin Yue knew something that others in the Demon Slayer Division didn't: Senior Brother Shi Qianjun, who was currently in the Demon Slayer Division, was a fake.

The real Senior Brother Shi Qianjun had secretly followed Senior Brother Bai Jinghong to the south to slay demons.

In fact, Senior Brother Bai's mission to slay demons in the south was originally a trap.

This trap was proposed by Senior Brother Shi, and Senior Brother Bai and Qin Yue agreed to execute it.

The trap involved Senior Brother Bai openly slaying demons and training Disciples.

At the same time, he would attract the descending Ninggang Realm demons to encircle and kill Senior Brother Bai.

Senior Brother Shi would secretly follow Senior Brother Bai and kill the demons when they appeared.

Because Senior Brother Shi believed Qin Yue's combat power was not strong, and Qin Yue's Six-Armed Puppet was too conspicuous, he asked Qin Yue to stay in the Demon Slayer Division to do Medicine Refining and to conceal the fact that Senior Brother Shi had left.

According to the original plan, with Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Shi working together, even if the remaining four descending demons attacked together, Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Bai could retreat safely, and perhaps even kill one.

But now that such a loss had occurred in the Demon Slayer Division, it indicated one thing.

The situation with the demons definitely could not be estimated as planned; some unexpected situation must have occurred, preventing Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Shi from protecting the Demon Slayer Division's Disciples even when working together.

Qin Yue set off this time, bringing all his research achievements from this period.

Because he felt that those demons were completely enraged, and he had a premonition that he wouldn't be able to return to the Imperial City for a long time after leaving this time.

First, of course, was the Six-Armed Puppet; this was his main combat force now, and all frontal combat relied on it.

Then, he sent Zuo Zijian's family away; he could no longer protect them.

Finally, there were the Medicines Qin Yue had refined during this period, and some Puppet Materials.

On the very night Qin Yue left the Imperial City, demons descended beneath the Imperial City.

"Roar~~~

Old scoundrel Chen Baxian!

Come out!

One hundred and thirty years, I'm finally back!"

Tens of thousands of demons stood outside the Imperial City gates. The one shouting at the front was a yellow and black striped tiger demon.

This tiger demon was over three meters tall, standing majestically at the front of the demon formation. Although it had lost one eye, its domineering presence was undiminished, and a single tiger roar shook the Imperial City walls.

The entire Imperial City was awakened by this tiger roar, and all the soldiers went up to the city walls.

Looking at the demon army below the city, all the soldiers were trembling.

Many monsters were already very large before becoming demons, and their figures became even more exaggerated after becoming demons.

Tens of thousands of demons were already terrifying enough, but some of the demons that revealed their true forms were actually half as tall as the city wall, which was truly despair-inducing.

This was no longer a battle that ordinary soldiers could participate in.
