Demon Sect Cultivation: I Can Disable Debuffs - Chapter 15

In the Alchemy House, dozens of pill furnaces were lined up side by side. Beside each pill furnace, there was a person delivering spiritual power to maintain the furnace fire.

True alchemy disciples would patrol the Alchemy House and check the situation inside the various pill furnaces from time to time, or add medicinal herbs to them.

In front of one of the pill furnaces, Zhang Chen sat cross-legged, his forehead covered in sweat. He endured the heat and sent spiritual energy to the bottom of the furnace to maintain the burning of the blood flames.

After a while, an alchemy disciple walked over, took out a blood storage bottle, and poured demon blood into the furnace.

Smelling the sweet and bloody scent, Zhang Chen felt uneasy and swallowed his saliva.

He could sense that the spiritual energy contained in the demon blood was much richer than what he usually drank. It should be the blood of a Foundation Establishment demon beast.

He had never drunk the demon blood of a Foundation Establishment cultivator before, so he did not know how it tasted.

When the demon blood in the pill furnace began to boil, the alchemy disciple took out many unknown medicinal herbs and threw them into the furnace.

The sweet and bloody scent in the air became even stronger.

It had been 10 days since Zhang Chen came to the Alchemy House. At first, he had the idea of secretly learning alchemy.

But in the absence of any guidance, he didn’t even know the names of those herbs, and could only reluctantly give up the unrealistic idea of stealing knowledge.

An hour later, Zhang Chen’s spiritual power was exhausted, indicating that he had completed his task for the day.

After handing the furnace over to someone else, he weakly walked out.

“Ah! So comfortable!” After leaving the scorching hot Alchemy House, Zhang Chen felt extremely refreshed and comfortable.

Then he walked to the nearby Pill Pavilion, ready to collect the blood pill that would restore his spiritual power and go back.

The Pill Pavilion was a strange building shaped like a treasure pagoda, where alchemy pills were stored and exchanged.

“Junior Brother, are you going to the Pill Pavilion to collect the blood pill?” A man at the sixth level of Qi Refinement greeted Zhang Chen with a smile.

When there’s nothing to gain, no one will come to greet you, except for those with ulterior motives, Zhang Chen thought.

He was wary in his heart but politely replied, “Yes, Senior Brother.”

“Although the blood pill can supplement some spiritual power, it cannot completely restore it. Daily restoration of spiritual power requires a lot of time and energy. How can you still have the energy to refine demon blood and improve your cultivation?” The man sighed.

“Senior Brother is right.” Zhang Chen did not know what the other party was up to and just went along with it.

“Junior Brother, it’s your luck that you met me today. I have a few medicinal pills that can help you cultivate.” The man looked smug.

It turned out that he was here to sell medicinal pills. Zhang Chen was enlightened.

There were always people who took advantage of their positions to enrich themselves, fleece the sect, and it was nothing new.

“I wonder what pills Senior Brother has?” Zhang Chen knew very little about pills and wanted to learn more.

The man took out a porcelain bottle and introduced, “This is the Blood Transforming Pill. After taking it, it can accelerate the speed of refining demon blood. Many inner sect senior brothers will exchange it to have enough time to practice techniques.

“In the Pill Pavilion, one bowl of blood essence can only be exchanged for 30 pills. I can give 35 pills to you.

“This is a Violence Dispelling Pill, which can weaken the ferocious aura in demon blood when added. One pill can weaken the ferocious aura in a bucket of demon blood.

“In the Pill Pavilion, one bowl of blood essence could only be exchanged for one pill. I can give you three for two bowls of blood essence.

“In addition, there are also some medicinal pills for healing and combat. Usually, only inner sect senior brothers can exchange for them. If you are interested, I can introduce them to you.”

The Blood Transformation Pill and the Violence Dispelling Pill were indeed not bad. They had great appeal to ordinary disciples.

However, Zhang Chen had a top-grade spiritual root and was not affected by the ferocious aura in the demon blood at all. He had no use for them. Instead, he could prepare some healing pills for battle.

“Senior Brother, do you have any healing and combat pills?”

Hearing Zhang Chen’s question, the man was stunned.

Outer sect disciples were not allowed to go out, and killing each other was not allowed in the sect. Medicinal pills for healing and combat were basically useless.

The reason he said that he had healing and combat pills was to show how powerful his pills were. He didn’t think that Zhang Chen would buy them.

However, he still introduced them enthusiastically, “This is a Blood Generating Pill. Use it when there is excessive blood loss. It can speed up the regeneration of one’s blood. In the Pill Pavilion, a bowl of blood essence is worth 10 pills. I’ll give you 15.

“This is the Wound Healing Pill, used for treating external injuries… This is the Blood Nourishing Pill, used for treating internal injuries…

“This is a Qi Explosion Pill. After consuming it, you can temporarily increase your cultivation level by one level. It can last for an hour. After that, you will drop a level. A bowl of blood essence can only be exchanged for one pill. I can give you two.

“This is the Blood Craving Pill, which can speed up the recovery of spiritual power tenfold. It can last for an hour. After that, the meridians and dantian will be damaged, and one will not be able to absorb spiritual energy for 10 days…

“This is the Mighty Pill… This is the Light Body Pill… This is the Iron Body Pill…”

After hearing this, Zhang Chen was quite tempted. Although he didn’t need them now, it was better to be prepared.

However, he still had some concerns since they were not sold by the sect. He wondered if the effects were really as the man had said, and he needed to verify it.

“Can Senior Brother guarantee the efficacy of the pills?”

The man looked confident, “My name is Feng Wensheng. You can inquire about me. I definitely won’t deceive anyone.”

Zhang Chen didn’t want to be a fool. Without confirming the authenticity, he wouldn’t buy any pills from Feng Wensheng.

Although he did not buy the pills, he had another idea.

“Senior Brother Feng, we’ll talk about the medicinal pills later. I have another deal to discuss with you.”

“What deal?” Feng Wensheng looked puzzled.

Zhang Chen asked, “Since Senior Brother can sell medicinal pills, you should have connections in the Pill Pavilion or Alchemy House, right?”

“What do you mean?” Feng Wensheng narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Chen did not beat around the bush and said directly, “I see that most of the pills are refined with the demon blood of the Foundation Establishment realm. I want to use my blood essence to exchange for some demon blood of the Foundation Establishment stage. I wonder if Senior Brother Feng has any connections?”

“Do you want the demon blood of the Foundation Establishment stage?” Feng Wensheng was extremely surprised. “The ferocious aura in the demon blood of the Foundation Establishment stage is extremely fierce. Even the direct disciples of the Foundation Establishment stage don’t dare to drink too much. You’re only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement…”

“Senior Brother, you don’t have to worry about this. If Senior Brother has any connections, just tell me the ratio of blood essence exchange.” Zhang Chen naturally wouldn’t say that he could ignore the ferocious aura.

Although he was not sure if his current cultivation level could ignore the ferocious aura of the Foundation Establishment demon blood, he wanted to give it a try.

After his spiritual root was upgraded to the top-grade, the demon blood he obtained from Li Mumin was no longer enough for him to consume.

Furthermore, as his cultivation level continued to improve in the future, his demand for demon blood would only increase, and the huge quantity of demon blood would not be provided by just one or two inner sect disciples.

If he could exchange for Foundation Establishment demon blood with 10 times the concentration of spiritual energy, the quantity would not be so conspicuous.

Even if he could not absorb the Foundation Establishment demon blood now, he would need such a channel to exchange for it in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Wensheng said, “There is naturally a way. If Junior Brother really needs it, one bowl of blood essence can be exchanged for five bowls of Foundational Establishment stage demon blood.”

“Okay, exchange one bowl of blood essence first.” Zhang Chen didn’t bargain: “Senior Brother, bring the demon blood tomorrow and wait for me here, or come to my cave abode. I live in Cave 518.”
