Chapter 391: Chapter 317 This Idea Is Somewhat Scary_1
“`
Evil Demons gathered; a vast army stretched before them, their base, without a doubt, was the lair itself.
To infiltrate the Evil Demon Lair alone, even a Divine Venerable would need to weigh the risks carefully.
However, armed with the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and the Formless Metamorphosis Technique, it is feared that even ordinary Divine Venerables might not see through the fact that Li Cheng was not of the Demon Race.
Li Cheng bypassed the army and headed straight for its rear, searching for the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area.
But Li Cheng had clearly underestimated the vastness of this Demon Land; after searching millions of miles, he had not found the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area and realized he might have to venture deeper.
The Dragon Emperor knew only that the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area was deep within this Demon Land, but he did not know exactly how far it was, so Li Cheng would have to rely on himself.
This place was home to more than ten Divine Venerables, and Li Cheng couldn’t casually release his Divine Sense; if he accidentally touched upon a Divine Venerable, he was sure to be out of luck.
“This way of searching isn’t working, I need to subtly inquire about it.”
All along the way, Li Cheng had seen many cities bustling with life—a perfect place to gather information.
Upon sighting another city, Li Cheng descended and entered.
The city was bustling with people, mostly of the Demon Race, along with many Dead Spirits.
Demons are living beings and, in theory, shouldn’t mix with these Dead Spirits, but ever since arriving in the Divine Realm, Li Cheng had seen Demons and Dead Spirits interacting closely.
According to Li Cheng’s understanding, the reason for this was that the power of the Demon Race is almost yin, and upon their fall, they were apt to become part of the Death Race, effectively a form of rebirth, accounting for the close relationship between Demons and Dead Spirits.
Some of the Dead Spirits’ significant figures had been of the Demon Race in life.
As for the Human Tribe, although they could also become Dead Spirits after death under special conditions, it was nowhere near as easy as it was for the Demon Race.
After wandering the city for a while, Li Cheng entered a wine house.
Similar to a mundane tavern, this wine house was almost full, a place where various rumors spread.
“The Mansion Venerable of Land Puppet Mansion single-handedly bested seven Demon Lords and held the upper hand; such strength commands respect!”
“Indeed, it’s a pity that he’s not from our kin, otherwise we would’ve had one more peerless powerhouse.”
“No kidding, I witnessed that battle with my own eyes, the grandeur…”
Li Cheng was somewhat surprised; these Demons actually held Blunt Empty Venerable in such high esteem!
“You don’t know; on that day, Li Cheng used his Domain as a furnace to refine a million Healing Divine Pills in one go, with twelve million of top-quality and King Grade pills, truly deserving the title of Supreme Alchemy Dao!”
“Spouting nonsense like that isn’t the way to go, you know? I might believe a hundred, but a million? Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“Exactly, it’s not funny when you exaggerate like this.”
“No, I’m telling the truth, otherwise why do you think those more than ten people above would go to all lengths to attack the Fu City of Land Puppet Mansion? It’s all because Li Cheng is the Supreme Alchemy Dao!”
…
The wine house was lively, with groups discussing all manner of affairs, from large Human Tribe matters to massive Demon Race events, and everything in between.
Li Cheng subtly furrowed his brow; how could the event of refining a million Divine Pills in one go reach the Demon Race?
Was there a spy among those Pill Masters that day?
Or was this person simply talking nonsense but accidentally got it right?
After a few seconds of contemplation, Li Cheng ordered dozens of jars of fine wine and approached their table, “Gentlemen, the drinks are on me!”
The five people at the table became excited and made room for Li Cheng to sit.
“A Complete Divine Monarch? Where do you hail from, brother? You look unfamiliar.”
All five were Divine Monarchs, with the one speaking exuding a robust vitality and also at the Complete level, the very one boasting about Li Cheng refining a million pills in one go.
Li Cheng smiled, lifted a jar of wine for a swig, and changed the subject, “That Li Cheng, indeed, refined a million Divine Pills at once, and it’s said that he did so with God Pills from Grade One to Three!”
Li Cheng did not mention Grade Four Divine Pills, leaving himself some leeway.
“Damn, Leida, now here’s someone who can boast even more than you!” someone said disdainfully.
Leida, however, had a light in his eyes as he looked intently at Li Cheng, “You know about it too?”
Li Cheng nodded, “A senior mentioned it, and it can’t be false!”
At these words, Leida relaxed, laughing, “That’s right, and it’s not just that, even the Grade Four Divine Pills were refined in that manner!”
Li Cheng looked at Leida, astonished, “Really? Grade Four Divine Pills usually require a Divine King Realm Pill Master to refine; could it be that Li Cheng is already a Divine King?”
Leida shook his head, “The amazing thing is just that, Li Cheng is only at the early stage of Divine Monarch, yet he could refine Grade Four Divine Pills, and over ten million at that, it’s simply unbelievable!”
Li Cheng glanced at Leida, “The senior didn’t tell me about that.”
Leida laughed proudly, “Hehe, the elder I spoke to is never wrong! And what I told you, I’ve still kept some things back!”
Li Cheng understood; indeed, among the Pill Masters that day, there were spies from the Demon Race, maybe even some mixed among them!
That day more than two hundred Pill Masters were there, Divine Kings, Divine Emperors, and two Divine Venerables—who could be mixed among them?
“Leida, is everything you guys are saying true? It can’t be possible, can it?”
Listening to what Li Cheng and Leida said, the others started to waver; could this be the truth?
If one person boasted, you might consider it nonsense, but when two people appeared sincerely convinced in their discussion, doubt inevitably crept in.
“Hehe, why not? What if I told you that Li Cheng also refined Grade Five Divine Pills in one breath? Would you think I’m crazy?” Leida said with a mischievous smile.
The others expressed shock, and it seemed it was not just idle babble but possibly true!
