Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Different Properties of the Demon Pill

Lu Chen quickly opened the door and saw that Yu Qingqing indeed had a bag in her hand.

At the same time, a familiar scent wafted from it.

Lu Chen’s heart filled with joy and he said, "Qing Qing, thank you."

"It’s a trivial matter," Yu Qingqing replied with a hint of apology, "This time there aren’t many demon pills, so the price is a bit higher. I hope you don’t mind."

"No worries," Lu Chen smiled and said, "Are there usually a lot of demon pills?"

"It really depends on the situation. When there are more, the price of demon pills drops. Lately, probably a lot of people are waiting for the weakening of the Tianyuan restrictions before they go, so there are fewer demon pills."

"I see," Lu Chen understood, knowing that a trip to Tianyuan also required preparation. He thought for a moment and said, "Then if there are any demon pills recently, help me buy as many as possible. Price isn’t an issue."

As he spoke, he took out several Yuan Stone notes.

"Then I won’t be polite. I’ll go look again in a couple of days."

Yu Qingqing smiled radiantly as she accepted the Yuan Stone notes and then said, "I’m going to cultivate now. Call me if you need anything."

She had noticed that Lu Chen was cultivating when she arrived.

Seeing someone more outstanding than herself also working harder made her feel slightly pressured.

After Yu Qingqing left, Lu Chen placed all the demon pills on his bed and called out, "Xiao Hei, time to eat!"

Xiao Hei, who couldn’t wait any longer, emerged from under the bed, bit into a demon pill, and swallowed it whole.

Lu Chen watched with a smile but then had a sudden idea and used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to observe the demon pills.

All the demon pills were the same color, but under the gaze of his pupils, they shone with different colors, just like the Spiritual Energy visible in the air.

Besides the colors corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth of the Five Elements, Lu Chen could also see demon pills with different colors.

Some demon pills even had two or three colors!

"Could that light blue one be from a demonic beast that manipulated ice?" Lu Chen wondered to himself as he reached out to grab that particular demon pill.

In his hand, he immediately felt a cold sensation.

Thinking further, he touched another demon pill that displayed a red color.

It was burning hot to the touch.

"Spiritual Power has attributes, and they manifest different feelings, so how about I use Spiritual Power attributes to command the Heavenly Inquiry Spear technique?" Lu Chen began to ponder.

Regardless of the ideas he came up with, they all needed to be verified with spear techniques in the end.

Even though Lu Chen’s body was predominantly filled with fire-type Spiritual Power at this moment, he still dared not try it lightly.

Firstly, he was afraid he couldn’t control it.

Secondly, recalling the warning from Elder Heavenly Medicine, he felt this might become his trump card!

Meanwhile,

In the depths of the Inner Court,

Li Mingru, Elder Heavenly Medicine, and the Headmaster were sitting together.

"Headmaster, Chen Lu is new here and doesn’t understand the way things work. If he has offended anyone, it’s because I failed to teach him properly!" Li Mingru said seriously.

Elder Heavenly Medicine chuckled and added, "Headmaster, why take offense with a junior? Although Wu Chiren is dead, our Heavenly Book Academy has gained an exceptional disciple in return!"

"Do you think I’m angry because he damaged my reputation?" After a moment of silence, the Headmaster suddenly asked.

Li Mingru quickly responded, "Is it because of the mission assigned by the Immortal Sect, Headmaster?"

"Indeed," the Headmaster said gravely, "The Immortal Sect has its expectations for us at the Heavenly Book Academy! Wu Chiren was supposed to be the one designated, but now that he’s dead, although Chen Lu has extraordinary talent and was able to kill Wu Chiren at the Bone Refinement Realm, the problem is that his realm does not meet the Immortal Sect’s requirements for discipleship! If the Immortal Sect blames us, our Heavenly Book Academy cannot bear the consequences!"

Li Mingru replied, "Headmaster, don’t worry about that. I can guarantee that Chen Lu will be favored by the Immortal Sect!"

"You guarantee?" The Headmaster scoffed, "With what do you guarantee? You already admitted your failure in teaching! Li Mingru, am I giving you too much face?"

With that, the Headmaster stood up abruptly, and a vast, invisible pressure instantly enveloped Li Mingru!
