I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 218: Chapter 118: Demon Dao’s Purpose

The Divine Medicine Sect is located in the southwestern central part of the Wei Kingdom on a Quasi-Fourth Tier Spirit Vein, but it also covers three Tier Three Advanced Level Spirit Veins within a range of thousands of miles nearby.

Its scale is enormous, covering a vast area, so much so that it could be called a small Cultivation Country.

Within it, there are over ten thousand Demon Dao disciples.

With so many Demon Dao disciples, it would be difficult to support them without raising the various sects and families in the southwestern sector as medicine people.

A substitute puppet, currently transformed into a Joyful Sect Witch, swaggeringly flew into it.

Among the nine Demon Sects, each practices different Demon Dao Secret Techniques, but there are also frequent exchanges.

As the puppet flew into the territory of the Demon Medicine Sect, concealed within a dense forest, Ye Jingyu and two others, through shared vision with Master Han, finally saw the internal situation of the Demon Medicine Sect.

“Master Han, to think you are so righteous!” Yu Ziyu’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of admiration.

“Patriarch, it seems you might really have misunderstood Master Han,” Zhou Cang nodded.

Ever since meeting in the Cold Frost Immortal City, Yu Ziyu had been wary of Master Han,

mainly because she felt that if they had been a step later, Master Han might really have acted inappropriately towards that witch.

Such a lecherous individual, she held a bit of disdain in her heart.

Even later, when Master Han made a Great Heart Demon Oath, and Ye Jingyu said there was no problem, she still remained cautious of Master Han.

But at this moment, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had been too biased.

Perhaps a lecher could also be a righteous hero!

“Beast!” Suddenly, Ye Jingyu, through Master Han’s shared perspective, saw a scene and cursed angrily.

In the view, a wizened cultivator sat superstitiously on a high platform. In front of the cultivator, a stripped naked male cultivator, his hands and feet bound by spell, cried out in despair.

“No, please, Divine Envoy, let me go. Didn’t you say I am favored by the gods, supposed to be blessed? Why is this happening?”

“I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Feihuang Sect, and my master is an Inner Sect Fake Pill Elder; you can’t do this to me.”

…

The man continued to cry and wail,

but it didn’t change anything.

The wizened cultivator muttered complex incantations for a long time before slowly rising.

“All Ninth Grade disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect, listen up. I will teach for the last time. If you fail to grasp it, be prepared to become medicine people!”

As soon as the wizened cultivator finished speaking, the many Low-Tier Demon Dao disciples seated around the square instantly focused all their attention, staring intently at the platform.

Cultivation in the Demon Medicine Sect primarily relies not on meditation and cultivation, but on tempering the body and mind with magic medicine, with refining magic potions as the first step.

At this moment, on the stage, a Seventh Grade Demon Sect Deacon was instructing Ninth Grade disciples new to magic potions on how to refine and advance to an Eighth Grade magic potion.

Ninth Grade magic potions only require living beings, but advancing to Eighth Grade requires using a cultivator as the main ingredient.

“Before the human medicine is used, their Dantian must be kept intact, and essence blood must not be depleted…” The wizened cultivator then began drawing on the human medicine.

While he moved, he explained.

“Using the underground Yin Fire collected to refine the auxiliary medicine, once the medicinal properties are blended, you can begin adding the main ingredient…”

Li Jizhou stood silently outside the square, watching the half-man-high medicine cauldron in front of the wizened demon cultivator, noticing that it wasn’t the usual Pill Fire used by Pill Masters, but Yin Fire found underground.

Normally, such Yin Fire cannot be used in Alchemy, as the resulting pill would be too rich in Yin energy, greatly altering the medicinal properties, and could cause reverse damage to a cultivator’s Dantian.

But these Demon Dao practitioners directly use it for refining medicine.

“Advancing Eighth Grade magic potions, first peel the skin…”

At this moment, the wizened demon cultivator began the process, waving a hand to flay the entire skin and hair of the struggling, crying cultivator, which fell into the medicine cauldron.

Yet not a drop of essence blood spilled, as the black runes just drawn rapidly enveloped and surged into the wound.

“Ah!!!” The human medicine cultivator’s roar shook the heavens.

“Once merged with the ointment, then the limbs…”

“Extract the heart and liver…”

“Melt the organs…”

…

“Finally, melt the consciousness sea and Dantian…”

Step by step, in perfect order, the demon cultivators below the platform watched intently.

The human medicine was already silent, leaving no trace, not even a soul.

Li Jizhou’s true self sat quietly in Liuyun City residence, observing every operation through the puppet, gradually realizing.

With his experience in dual cultivation of medical poison at Tier Three and as a Tier Three Pill Master, this kind of magic potion wasn’t difficult.

He understood its properties well.

“By inversely transforming the Dantian with Yin poison, the absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi can be transmuted into endless Yin energy, filling the Dantian with Yin energy to refine Magical Power!”

Being constantly assaulted by Yin energy, the heart’s tendency to demonize would only be a matter of time.

Li Jizhou couldn’t help but recall Wu Daniu, the cultivator who captured him back in Inverted Mountain, perhaps he obtained this method of refining magic potions.

“Oh, fairy, could it be you are interested in our Divine Medicine Sect? Watching with such diligence? Why not come with this old man, I can personally teach you how?” At this moment, a teasing voice sounded beside the wooden puppet Han Zhenren.

Li Jizhou turned his head to see a bald, skinny cultivator looking at him with a playful smile.

An Early Stage Core Formation demon cultivator, a Seventh Grade deacon, similar to the demon cultivator on the platform.

“Sure, I can’t wait to learn, I just fear you can’t withstand my draining, ending up sucked dry. Just hope your Medicine God won’t mind then.” Li Jizhou feigned coyness with a bashful smile, even licking his lips.

The Demon Sect members are all familiar with each other.

He couldn’t understand how this Demon Alchemist dared to have thoughts about a Joyful Sect Witch.

“Hehe, don’t worry, fairy. I’ve just researched a new drug recently, capable of countering the Joyful Sect’s sucking Divine Ability,” the Demon Alchemist chuckled, looking lecherous.

“Oh? I’m curious about what new potion can counter the Sacred Method passed down by our Succubus master,” Li Jizhou sneered.

“Hahaha, let me show you first!” The Demon Alchemist laughed out loud and then unfastened his pants.

“…”

“Beast!”

“Freak!”

“Inhumane!”

“Lure him out!”

With just a brief look, everyone sharing the puppet’s vision instantly cursed angrily, Ye Jingyu gritted his teeth, instructing Master Han to lure him out.

Li Jizhou also held his breath.

“Hahaha, how about it? This old man’s newly developed magic potion can make it as strong as a dragon, completely sealed. Even if your Succubus master came in person, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to this old man!” The bald Demon Alchemist laughed uncontrollably.

“Hehe, since you’re so confident, I’ll just have to give it my all! I’ll stroll around to find new medicine, then I’ll duel with the alchemist somewhere suitable, don’t you back out then.” Master Han smiled charmingly, twisting seductively as he roamed freely within the Demon Medicine Sect.

“Haha, then the old man will be eagerly waiting for good news.” The bald Alchemist chuckled lewdly, leaving a Communication Talisman.

Following that month, Master Han roamed around the entire perimeter of the Demon Medicine Sect.

As for the core area, the inner city, he dared not enter lightly, sensing no less than three individuals with over a thousand years of age.

“Such a large-scale, organized Demon Dao force is truly unheard of; who knows what the situation is with the other eight sects?

If they are all like this, just relying on the strength of the nine demon sects, even the Yan Kingdom’s cultivation world might not withstand it!”

After getting a general understanding of the Demon Medicine Sect’s situation, Li Jizhou in Liuyun City residence showed deep worry.

From what he saw with his own eyes, the nine Demon Sects’ operations in the Southern Domain Spirit Veins aren’t simply about increasing strength.

Just the Demon Medicine Sect having such capability, even Southern Domain’s thirty or so Great Success Golden Corpses, would barely be a slight increase, merely icing on the cake.

They definitely wouldn’t be scheming in the Southern Domain so deeply just for something like icing on the cake.

“If it’s not for Great Success Golden Corpses, then it can only be to destroy the Spirit Veins.”

All places for Corpse Nourishment in the Southern Domain are the main veins of various Cultivation Countries, just like Qi Kingdom, only choosing the main vein of Thunder Flame Sect extending from the Central Domain, with no interest in the Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Veins of Golden Sun Sect or Divine Intent Sect.

“Nourishing corpses with Spirit Veins, using Golden Corpses to destroy the main vein roots, then the whole Cultivation Country’s Spirit Veins would gradually dry up… duplicating the process, could it be the Demon Dao’s goal is to destroy all Spirit Veins of the Celestial Profound Continent? Or even to destroy the Spirit Vein Ancestral Source of Central State?”

Li Jizhou instantly became alert.

At that moment, the bald Alchemist from before sent another Communication Talisman.

Master Han frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes…
