Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Demon Transformation Elixir! (1st Update)

Ling Feng took a deep breath, looked up at Yan Cangtian, and slowly said, "Elder Yan, what you’re suggesting isn’t to have me follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and treat some Demon Emperor’s illness, right?"

"Psh, do you think I’m that stupid?"

Yan Cangtian rolled his eyes and sneered, "Do you think a Demon Emperor’s physique is just like anyone else’s, that they would fall ill so easily? Besides, you currently have no reputation in the Daoist Doctor community, so even if a Demon Emperor were truly ill, they would seek out the more renowned Daoist Doctors, not you."

Ling Feng’s forehead darkened as he grumbled inwardly.

If that’s not it, then why the profound sighs and lamenting? It turns out all that talk was just nonsense!

"Young man, don’t be hasty! Just listen to me as I tell you in detail about the last remarkable figure who successfully entered Sky Demon City!"

Yan Cangtian stroked his long beard and chuckled softly.

"I’m all ears," Ling Feng glanced at Yan Cangtian, thinking that since he was offering help, he’d tolerate it!

"The person I’m about to discuss is quite formidable, a genius Alchemist! No, that’s not right, to call him a genius Alchemist—he couldn’t even properly refine a First-level Elixir, so no one recognized him as an Alchemist. However..."

Yan Cangtian’s tone shifted, "This extraordinary Alchemist always managed to invent some bizarre Elixirs. Take, for example, the Qilin Arm Pill, after taking it, your right arm would thicken several times! Or the Frenzy Elixir for ’little brothers’, after taking it, a man’s lower half would explode for several hours..."

"Uh..." The corners of Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. This world really did have everything, and with such a vast forest, it housed all kinds of birds, even Alchemists like this...

Ling Feng shook his head and refrained from rash judgment.

"Although that Alchemist frequently managed to refine some odd Elixirs, the Alchemy Master Guild shunned him because he couldn’t guarantee a hundred percent success rate in refining First-level Elixirs, and they forbade him from using the title of Alchemist to deceive others. Therefore, the Alchemist vowed that he would astonish the world with an Elixir he created!"

"Oh?" Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched, "Did he succeed?"

"Indeed!" Yan Cangtian nodded, "After three years of dedicated research, he actually invented a Demon Transformation Elixir that could infuse a human body with the presence of the Demon Clan for a period of time, imperceptible even to Demon Clan Experts. It was with this pill that he managed to enter the Demon Clan Sacred Land in Sky Demon City on his own and even stole an Eighth-level Demon Elixir from the Demon Emperor’s Tomb!"

"From that point on, he made a name for himself and successfully joined the Alchemy Master Guild. To this day, although that Alchemist has long passed, his name is still etched into the annals of the Empire Alchemy Master Guild’s history!"

As Yan Cangtian slowly recounted, Ling Feng inhaled deeply and said solemnly, "Elder Yan, are you suggesting that as long as I can secure the Elixir Recipe for the Demon Transformation Elixir and refine one, I can follow in that ancient person’s footsteps and successfully infiltrate the Demon Clan’s Domain?"

"Exactly, with your quick wit, if you had a Demon Clan identity, could you be worried about not being able to sneak into their Sacred Land?" Yan Cangtian said animatedly.

Ling Feng nodded, "It indeed sounds like a good plan, but Elder Yan, do you know the Elixir Recipe for the Demon Transformation Elixir? Or are you implying that your recent secluded cultivation, reading extensively, was in search of the Elixir Recipe?"

"Elixir Recipe?" Yan Cangtian shook his head with a smile, "That recipe is indeed not easy to find. Despite having read numerous books, I’ve only managed to find mere hints of it. It is said that the most important ingredient in refining a Demon Transformation Elixir is the Crystal Core of a Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage!"

"Crystal Core?" Ling Feng was taken aback, "What is a Crystal Core?"

"It’s no wonder you don’t know."

Yan Cangtian stroked his beard, speaking indifferently, "Ordinary demon beasts, generally speaking, once they reach the second level, will nurture a Demon Core within their bodies, which is the dwelling place of the Demon Essence. However, some demon beasts do not possess a Demon Core, but instead, they produce a gem-like Crystal Core within their bodies. And these kinds of demon beasts usually belong to the Phantom Transformation series. Even in the Demon Realm, Phantom Transformation beasts are extremely rare, not to mention a Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage."

"Phantom Transformation series?" Ling Feng blinked, although this was the first time he heard this term, considering the existence of elemental life forms like Zi Feng, it seemed normal for there to be Phantom Transformation beasts.

"As for the second point," Yan continued, "I discovered from an ancient text that the Elixir Recipe for the Demon Transformation Elixir might have always been hidden in the Alchemy Master Guild in the Imperial City. So, I plan to take a trip to the Alchemy Master Guild and must get that Demon Transformation Elixir Recipe back!"

Yan Cangtian’s eyebrows raised as he spoke. With his status, he believed the President of the Alchemy Master Guild would afford him some courtesy.

A sharp glint flashed across Ling Feng’s eyes. If what Yan Cangtian said was true, that using the Demon Transformation Elixir would allow one to disguise as a member of the Demon Clan, then the danger he faced infiltrating the Demon Realm would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"Elder Yan, I really don’t know how to thank you enough!" Ling Feng said with a moved expression.

"Let’s wait until we get the recipe back," Yan Cangtian responded, pursing his lips. Then he added, "However, don’t stay idle during this time. I remember that old fellow Deng Xian seemed to have hunted a Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage when he went out to battle ten years ago. That old rascal has a hobby of collecting peculiar demon beast corpses. If I’m not mistaken, that Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage’s corpse should still be in General YingYang’s Mansion. Whether you steal or deceive to get the Demon Mirage Crystal Core, I’m out of this matter."

After all, Yan Cangtian and General Deng, Deng Xian, had been good friends for many years. At the auction some time ago, Deng Xian had already done him a significant favor, and Yan Cangtian really couldn’t bring himself to ask Deng Xian to hand over the Thousand-year-old Demon Mirage’s Crystal Core.

Despite knowing that given the relationship between Deng Xian and himself, Deng Xian would definitely not hesitate, that was exactly why Yan Cangtian was even less willing to use his friendship to request the Demon Mirage Crystal Core.

Ling Feng, sharp as he was, immediately understood Yan Cangtian’s thoughts. He had already troubled Elder Yan quite a bit, so it was up to him to find a way to resolve this matter.

After all, he had had a couple of encounters with Deng Xian. Although that woman Deng Yongshi was notoriously difficult to deal with, General Deng was amiable and modest, a respected senior of high esteem.

He could indeed make a trip to General YingYang’s Mansion. Believing that if he explained his intentions and offered a fair price, he should be able to successfully obtain the Demon Mirage Crystal Core.

"Alright, then Elder Yan, let’s take different paths. I will definitely bring back the Demon Mirage Crystal Core!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and said in a determined tone.

"Hehe, Young man, I have high hopes for you!"

Yan Cangtian patted Ling Feng’s shoulder and gave a long stretch, preparing to set off for the Alchemy Master Guild.
