Chapter 158: Chapter 157 Preparation (1)

Where the demonic qi passed, people constantly fell. Nearly ten million of the Human Demon Army had not even reacted before the essence of everyone had already been completely absorbed by the Heavenly Demon, turning the entire army into heaps of eerie white bones...

The demonic qi gradually gathered together, eventually forming into the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon’s expression, however, appeared somewhat despondent, and he murmured to himself: "I didn’t expect that absorbing the essence of ten million Human Demons would only raise my cultivation by this much. To challenge Huaxia with a mid-level Demon General’s cultivation, this is far from enough..."

In Huaxia, deep underground within a ten-meter square space in Pingdu Mountain, Yan Rufeng slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "Half a year has passed. The essence blood within my body has only recovered by half. I really don’t know when it will fully recover. Well, I should return to the sect first..."

Within the main hall of the Dragon Abyss Sect, upon hearing the news that the Heavenly Demon had come to Huaxia to challenge the top experts, Yan Rufeng’s expression became extremely grave. He immediately fell into deep thought, "The Heavenly Demon has indeed grown stronger. If the Heavenly Demon is not eliminated, I can never go to Canglong Star to find Yi Mu. Without the essence blood restored to normal, I can’t exert my full strength against the Demon either. Sigh, I’ve tried a thousand types of blood-replenishing herbs, but none have had a substantial effect..."

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng let out a long sigh and then said: "Qing Xiu, why haven’t I seen Elder Chuyunzi and Elder Xia?"

Qing Xiu responded: "Sect Master, on that day, after Elder Xia had the demonic qi enter her body, although Ye Lingtian later expelled the demonic qi from her body, she was seriously injured because of it. Elder Chuyunzi is helping her heal."

Yan Rufeng’s expression changed, and he sternly said: "It’s fortunate Elder Xia is fine. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Demon had a thousand lives, it wouldn’t be enough."

Deputy Sect Master Qing Xiu clasped his hands and said: "Sect Master, should we head to Southern Yue to eliminate the demon?"

Yan Rufeng elaborated: "If the Heavenly Demon is not eliminated, we will always remain in danger. As for how to eliminate the demon, let me think it over carefully first."

If it weren’t for the severe loss of essence blood, Yan Rufeng wouldn’t have needed to think; he would have long since gone to Southern Yue.

At this moment, Liu Ping’er walked in, looking somewhat unhappy. She said without any pleasantries: "Sect Master Yan, you’ve been gone for half a year without a word. Our sect’s auction house and commercial goods sold out long ago, and now our Dragon Abyss Sect Auction House has closed down."

Yan Rufeng helplessly said: "Elder Liu, I didn’t expect it would take this long. It’s all my fault."

"Hmph!"

Liu Ping’er snorted coldly, "Sect Master Yan, regardless of how you are going to eliminate the demon, the priority now is to get the auction house back to normal operations."

Yan Rufeng smiled indifferently, "Elder Liu, come with me to the rear mountain."

Liu Ping’er rolled her eyes at Yan Rufeng, "Why go to the rear mountain?"

Yan Rufeng gave a sly smile, "You’ll know after we go..."

Yan Rufeng asked Liu Ping’er to go to the rear mountain alone with him. Everyone in the main hall felt strange, and Murong Xue asked puzzledly: "Sect Master, what can the two of you do in the rear mountain? If it’s not allowed, I want to follow and see too..."

"Um..."

Yan Rufeng felt a bit embarrassed by Murong Xue’s question and quickly said, "Elder Murong, since you’re so curious, let’s go together then."

"Hehe..."

Murong Xue happily followed behind Yan Rufeng.

"I want to go too..." Zhou Tong shouted loudly.

"Hehe..."

Yan Rufeng turned his head and smiled: "Then all of you come to the rear mountain..."

Arriving at the rear mountain, Yan Rufeng used his divine sense to enter the Purple Mansion and released all the spiritual beasts in the Spiritual Beast Garden. From the rear mountain of the Dragon Abyss Sect, extending to a thousand miles beyond, the ground was filled with various kinds of spiritual beasts, totaling eighty million.

These spiritual beasts had thrived and reproduced in the Spiritual Beast Garden of Yan Rufeng’s Purple Mansion. It was unknown which generation they were at now. Yan Rufeng hadn’t checked on them usually, leaving them to exist and die on their own. Though every generation of spiritual beasts’ bloodline had changed, not a single one could evolve into pure-blooded auspicious beasts.

Everyone was beyond astonished at the sight of the hills and valleys filled with spiritual beasts.

Liu Ping’er opened her mouth wide in shock and exclaimed: "Brother Rufeng, where did you catch so many spiritual beasts?"

Yan Rufeng smiled and replied: "Elder Liu, these spiritual beasts cannot be caught."

"Then where do they come from?" Murong Xue also asked.

Yan Rufeng calmly smiled, "They are naturally cultivated from demon beasts."

"Wow..."

Zhou Tong exclaimed: "Sect Master, I never thought demon beasts could be cultivated into spiritual beasts. You’re amazing."

Murong Xue smiled sweetly, "Elder Zhou, our Sect Master has always been impressive."

"Hehe..."

Liu Ping’er laughed charmingly, "Brother Rufeng, can you teach me this method of cultivating spiritual beasts from demon beasts?"

"Um..."

Yan Rufeng was speechless, "It’s not that I don’t want to teach you all, but even if I told you, you wouldn’t be able to cultivate spiritual beasts!"

Liu Ping’er retorted disdainfully, "Then tell me. What if I can cultivate them?"

"Alright!"

Yan Rufeng said: "In a space abundant in spiritual energy, just let them keep reproducing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ping’er blushed deeply, stammering: "I’d rather... rather catch the ready-made spiritual beasts instead..."

Yan Rufeng laughed: "Elder Liu, in the future, for auction and commercial purposes, just come to the rear mountain to catch some spiritual beasts. This place will be our sect’s Spiritual Beast Garden."

"Hehe..."

Zhou Tong laughed sweetly: "In that case, letting them reproduce here, our Dragon Abyss Sect will never lack spiritual beasts for sale."

Murong Xue also smiled: "Sister Liu, since the auction house can now operate normally, you should be able to sleep well."

Liu Ping’er bowed her head and laughed privately.

Yan Rufeng floated in mid-air, and his divine sense entered the Purple Mansion’s Spiritual Grass Garden. Gazing at the endless variety of spirit grass, with a single thought, the Spiritual Grass Garden instantly extended thousands of miles, and Yan Rufeng transferred all the spiritual grass to the ground of the Dragon Abyss Sect’s mountains.

After doing all this, Yan Rufeng formed a magic spell with his hands and said, "Rain come."

The mountains with the spirit grass were suddenly showered by spirit rain. Nourished by the rain, the spirit grass deeply rooted themselves in the Dragon Abyss Sect’s land. In no time, the spiritual grass and spiritual beasts occupied the sect’s territory within ten thousand miles.

With an inexhaustible supply of spiritual grass and spiritual beasts, the Dragon Abyss Sect’s auction house and commerce soon returned to their peak. Cultivators from all over the nation gathered in Zhongzhou, and the population of Zhongzhou soared to two hundred million.

In the main hall of the Dragon Abyss Sect, Yan Rufeng called for Li Xiaofei.

"Xiao Fei, now I will give you an Ancient Pill Manual."

Li Xiaofei hurriedly clasped his hands and said: "Thank you, Sect Master."

Yan Rufeng said: "Xiao Fei, from now on, all elixirs within our sect will be handled by your Alchemy Hall."

"What?"
