Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Purchasing the Demon Pill!

"Lu Chen, these days, you should try not to leave the inner courtyard."

After returning to the small courtyard, with no one around, Yu Qingqing solemnly instructed Lu Chen.

"I know, I didn’t plan to go out anyway. Now that Wu Chiren has been killed, the others probably see no need to trouble me."

Lu Chen replied with a smile, even without the events that followed, he was always a person of decisive actions!

Otherwise, how could he become a renowned prodigy in Yuzhou City?

"You’re right," Yu Qingqing recalled the scene beneath the arena before, where all the students, even including the teachers, had been intimidated by Lu Chen’s strength.

There were students capable of defeating Wu Chiren.

But no one else could do what Lu Chen did—overcome the gap in their levels and directly slay Wu Chiren during the duel.

And that was right under the dean’s nose!

"But I still worry that some might break the rules of the inner courtyard..."

"Don’t worry, it’s fine."

Lu Chen smiled. He had Xiao Hei to help keep guard, and as a beast, his intuition for danger was quite keen.

Especially since Xiao Hei could understand human speech.

However, now that he couldn’t go out and was unable to get demon pills for Xiao Hei to consume, perhaps he could ask Yu Qingqing for help?

After thinking it over, Lu Chen said, "Qing Qing, could I ask you for a favor?"

"Just speak your mind, no need to be so polite!"

Hearing that Lu Chen needed assistance, Yu Qingqing’s spirits lifted.

Lu Chen took out a Yuan Stone note and said, "I need some demon pills, so could you possibly..."

"What do you need demon pills for?"

By then, she didn’t know that Lu Chen had the black Jiao snake. Generally, martial artists sought demon pills just to sell them for money.

But as soon as she asked, Yu Qingqing felt it was inappropriate and, blushing slightly with an apologetic expression, said, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked so many questions."

"It’s okay."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You might find out eventually. For now, it’s indeed somewhat inconvenient to say."

"Okay, then do you have any requirements for the demon pills? Grade, or attributes or something?"

Lu Chen knew that demonic beasts were divided into grades based on their strength, but what did the word ’attribute’ signify?

Could it be...

The differences between the spiritual powers he had seen, did those create various attributes in demon pills?

But then, thinking about it, the demon pills were for Xiao Hei, who wasn’t fussy about his food, so he said with a laugh, "Any will do. I only have one requirement, spend all this Yuan Stone money!"

"If there are no specific requirements, then of course I’ll spend it all."

Yu Qingqing laughed too, not only did the outer courtyard have a marketplace organized by students themselves, but outside the academy, martial artists from around the Tianyuan also set up stalls, selling anything they obtained from Tianyuan.

However, transactions outside the academy could only be made with Yuan Stones.

"Then thank you very much!"

Lu Chen thanked her with a smile, then entered the house and locked the door behind him.

"Xiao Hei, how are you feeling?"

Xiao Hei’s habits had reversed from day to night, but fortunately, it didn’t seem to require much sleep.

Because it could devour demon pills and absorb the demonic power within for its own use, this was somewhat similar to Lu Chen’s own practice of absorbing spiritual power.

"Hisss!"

Xiao Hei raised its head, merrily sticking out its tongue, but then it stretched its head toward the bag, indicating that it had no more demon pills left.

Lu Chen gently stroked its head and said, "Don’t worry, I made a good haul today. For at least the next half year, you won’t be short on demon pills!"

Xiao Hei immediately became incredibly excited, rubbing affectionately against Lu Chen’s hand.

Lu Chen laughed heartily and said, "However, if you get too big after eating all those demon pills, what will we do then?"

Xiao Hei lay down, and the scales on its body began to twitch as if in a spasm.

Instantly, Lu Chen got the impression it had shrunk in size.

Lu Chen’s eyes brightened, "Do you mean you can control your size, to grow or shrink?"

Seeing Lu Chen quickly understand its intent, Xiao Hei was overjoyed, continually flicking out its forked tongue.

"Excellent," Lu Chen exclaimed with great joy, "I plan to undergo rigorous cultivation for half a year. After that, I’ll take you to Tianyuan! If you can shrink down to fit inside a sleeve, that would be very convenient!"

Xiao Hei cocked its head, and ultimately nodded, indicating that within half a year, it would definitely be able to do so!

Of course, assuming Lu Chen’s previous statement about having sufficient demon pills held true!

"Alright, I’ve expended quite a bit of spiritual power today, so let’s take this opportunity to cultivate a little. You keep watch for any movements outside!"

With this understanding, Lu Chen promptly sat down on his bed, calmed his breathing and stilled his thoughts, fully immersing himself as he operated the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

At the same time, he took off his blindfold, and his black pupils once again saw the five-colored spiritual power, but now he suddenly thought of the ’attributes’ Yu Qingqing mentioned earlier!
