Celestial Cyan City, commercial street, Nameless Pill Pavilion.
After the encounter with the fire dragon, Ouyang Hao was invited here.
Upon entering the door, he looked at the unfamiliar young man who had been waiting for a long time and tested, "A chance of survival?"
"A benevolent female cultivator," Lin Jing replied.
"The secret signal is correct, it’s you!" Ouyang Hao burst into tears.
Lin Jing smiled slightly, "Senior brother, please."
Senior Brother Ouyang took a deep breath, "You are indeed in Qingzhou, I heard Yin Corpse Sect schemed against the academy, scattering the students everywhere.
Not long after, a wanted order for you appeared in Qingzhou, initiated by Yin Corpse Sect, so most within the sect suspect you have wandered into Qingzhou."
"We’ve been searching for you everywhere, and some unexpected events occurred during this time. I never thought I’d find you here!"
"Is it the Rakshasa Sect?" Lin Jing asked.
"You know already!" Ouyang Hao sighed, "Yes, that sect captured cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect for Yin Corpse Sect’s reward, probing for your whereabouts, but luckily our senior sister became the Demon Court Saintess, and she commanded her guardian to destroy the Rakshasa Sect!"
"After this battle, no one dares to target the Beast Taming Sect anymore. Have you noticed that the search for you has decreased?"
Lin Jing pondered briefly, not noticing any change because, with illusion technique, he hadn’t encountered any cultivators hunting him.
"Junior brother, come back with me, at least with senior sister, it’s safer." Ouyang Hao suggested.
"No hurry." Lin Jing shook his head.
"What do you know about the Demon Court? If my constitution is discovered by the Demon Court, do you think being captured by Yin Corpse Sect and them makes a difference?"
Ouyang Hao hesitated, saying, "This... probably not, senior sister’s status in the Demon Court is quite high, and she’s very kind..."
"Better not gamble on it," Lin Jing decided, "Besides, I have other things to do."
"Tell me about you, Senior Brother Ouyang, why did you come near Celestial Cyan City?"
"Is the Demon Court’s base and Beast Taming Sect’s landing spot not in Cyan Nether Dao?"
Ouyang Hao sighed, "One reason is to find you; most of the Beast Taming Sect’s cultivators have scattered out, searching for your tracks."
"The second reason is to handle matters for senior sister."
"Handling matters for senior sister?" Lin Jing touched his chin, "What kind of matters?"
"Recruiting... Alchemy Dao guests..." Ouyang Hao looked around the room’s layout, his expression peculiar.
"Recruiting Alchemy Dao guests?" Lin Jing was surprised, asking, "For what purpose?"
Ouyang Hao explained, "Junior brother knows about the Demon Court, so you should know its purpose, right? It’s to bring the demon clans back to the world."
"Within the Demon Court, the three Saintesses with half-demon blood are the main executors of this goal."
"They can mobilize enormous resources from the Demon Court to implement their plans, focusing on the revival of demon clans!"
"The three Saintesses each have different revival methods, such as the first Saintess of the Demon Court, her way of revival is reproduction, though half-demons cannot procreate with demon beasts, they still have a small chance with humans to produce offspring with demon blood..."
"She hopes to unravel the mystery of demon bloodline through birthing more offspring with demon clan blood."
"Therefore, demon kings and demon emperors of the Demon Court captured many talented human geniuses for her to breed the demon clan bloodline," Senior Brother Ouyang feared, "Luckily, I have senior sister’s protection, otherwise I would have been taken as well."
"As for the second Saintess, she is quite normal, and also a genius; she advocates reviving demon clans through ’innovative cultivation techniques,’ reportedly, she has created over ten volumes of cultivation techniques that demon beasts can learn over the years."
"Though she hasn’t yet developed a cultivation technique for transforming demon beasts into human form in this era, her supporters and followers are the most among the three Holy Maidens."
"As for our senior sister, she is the Demon Court’s third Saintess." Follow current novels on NoveIＦire.net
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing understood and asked, "So senior sister’s plan is to revive demon clans via ’Alchemy Dao’?"
Senior Brother Ouyang nodded, "In ancient times, for demon beasts to transform into humans and become demon clans, there were two methods."
"One was through cultivation, altering their blood to transform into human form."
"Another method was ingesting a third-tier spirit plant known as ’Transformation Grass,’ also called Human Transformation Grass or Demon Transformation Grass."
"Later, due to changes in world rules, demon beasts could no longer transform into human form through cultivation; Transformation Grass also lost its original effect, showing no reaction when consumed by demon beasts."
"Senior sister’s strategy is that if Transformation Grass can no longer directly aid demon beasts in transformation, what if it’s refined into a pill, a ’Transformation Pill,’ might it regain its effect?"
"For this, she gathered many alchemists, offering her own half-demon blood and large quantities of Transformation Grass for them to research the Transformation Pill, yet unfortunately, as a demon beast force, the Demon Court has too few of its own alchemists, making them insufficient to research Transformation Pill, with little progress made to this day."
"However, like those gifted, potential-filled alchemists in Heaven-Reaching Tower, assisting the Demon Court with the Transformation Pill research is unlikely. Thus, currently, the Beast Taming Sect is scattered, besides searching for you worldwide, another aim is to seek talented young alchemists everywhere, bring them to the Demon Court for cultivating them and to join the Transformation Pill research..."
"Cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect, being humans, find it easier to move through human cities compared to the Demon Court’s demon beasts."
After Ouyang Hao finished, Lin Jing nodded, saying, "No wonder..."
"Senior brother, are you still wishing for Hong’Er to transform into a human?" He asked this guide who saved him from the demonic sect.
"Of course," Ouyang Hao was puzzled, "Why do you ask this, junior brother?"
After contemplating, Lin Jing said, "Let me help you. Fortunately, I have some accomplishments in Alchemy Dao, and isn’t senior sister recruiting alchemists? Well, that’s me."
"However, I won’t follow you to the Demon Court."
"Can you secretly bring senior sister’s half-demon blood and Transformation Grass to me?"
"Uh??" Ouyang Hao paused.
Lin Jing rolled his eyes, "If your intelligence on me is thorough, you should know I refined top-grade pills like Dragon Ascending Pill over in the Ancient Country."
"Just say, you found a genius alchemist willing to research the Transformation Pill but unwilling to go to the Demon Court, in short, as long as you don’t expose my identity to the Demon Court’s powerhouses, as the Sect Leader’s disciple and senior sister Demon Court Saintess, you should manage this small matter, right?"
"What you say is right, but it’s unsubstantiated, I..."
Lin Jing replied, "It’s not groundless, I’ll let you take back a few pills to prove my Alchemy Dao achievements."
