Please, Young Master, Slay the Demon!
Chapter 235 - 28: Submit Prospectus [Ask for monthly ticket!]_1

"Understood!" The three Chu Liang answered.

At the moment they stood outside a valley, where a thin mist wrapped the interior. Inside the mist was a gloomy estate.

Why they came here traces back to Demon Princess Liu’s visit to White Bone Mountain.

After she met with the White Bone Mountain Old Man on behalf of her master, she casually mentioned some private matters, and White Bone Mountain Old Man instructed her to find Black Feather General and let him handle it.

Demon Princess Liu wanted someone to make a batch of the Eternal Beauty Pill.

For a female cultivator, eternal youth tends to be more important. However, except for the mighty powers of the Seventh Realm, cultivators in the first six realms cannot avoid dealing with aging. Although extremely slow, this process is always moving forward.

Before, Chu Liang had encountered Wenren Mo of the Sea King Sect, who had used a Spring-preserving Beauty Pill to get close with a female cultivator. It was considered the best anti-aging elixir within the righteous path. However, compared to the Eternal Beauty Pill, it was still inferior.

Yet this Eternal Beauty Pill was evil.

The so-called evil elixir was developed by cultivators from the Demon Sect, using some eerie methods to refine it.

After Black Feather General had put in a lot of effort in his inquiry, he found an Alchemist who was good at refining the Eternal Beauty Pill and wanted to buy this elixir from him.

Although the Eternal Beauty Pill does not enhance one’s cultivation or elevate one’s realm, it is still extremely valuable.

Demon Princess Liu entrusted him to find this Alchemist and naturally she left a large amount of money, which was only higher than the value of the elixir, not lower. But now Black Feather General wants the elixir and doesn’t want to spend any money on it.

Just so happens that there are a few newly arrived brothers who need testing, so he delegated the task to Chu Liang and his team.

The man in a black outfit standing before them was named Cang Ying. He was Black Feather General’s most reliable ally and was leading the operation this time.

"I will continue to observe your actions from the shadows, but I won’t take action. If there comes a point where I have to step in, that means you have failed your mission." Cang Ying spoke in a cold voice.

After speaking, he jutted his chin out: "Go."

With permission, the three of Chu Liang flew towards the manor with serious expressions. This mission was like a personal recommendation, something that must be done well.

Knock, knock, knock.

Monk Pu Shan stepped forward, knocking on the manor’s main gate.

This mist was a formation, and they couldn’t breach it unless someone from inside the manor opened the door.

A childish voice resounded from inside: "Who is it?"

"From Black Feather’s command." Chu Liang answered in a low voice.

Creak.

A small figure pushed the main gate open. It was a child with a top-knot, having rosy lips and white teeth, quite adorable.

Chu Liang could not help but look at him twice.

"Please enter, the master has been waiting for you for a while." The child said with a crisp voice.

He turned around leading the three men into the manor and to the front of the main hall. Along the way, there were all kinds of peculiar plants and sweet-scented flowers, presenting a pleasant scene.

In fact, this Alchemist was not from the Demon Sect. He set up this manor and made a name for himself in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Were it not for the information from the Demon Sect about the existence of the Eternal Beauty Pill here, the three Chu Liang would never have thought that such a well-known Alchemist would secretly refine evil elixir.

...

In front of the main hall, a middle-aged Alchemist in a white robe was quietly sitting at the top, greeting them with a smile when they arrived: "I have already prepared the Eternal Beauty Pills as promised. You’ve brought the agreed price in Vermilion Bird Coins, right?"

In cases where barter was not involved, most transactions in the Immortal Cultivation World were settled with Spirit Stone Coins from Taotie City. With its concentrated resources, their currency was widely accepted.

"I brought them." Chu Liang took out a Jade Slip and asked, "Where’s the medicine?"

The Alchemist clapped softly, and the child brought over a red gourd and placed it on the table.

"I’ve refined this Eternal Beauty Pill many times before, it absolutely won’t be a problem." He chuckled.

Chu Liang looked at the elixir, and was silent for a moment... this gourd probably cost at least ten lives.

He suddenly asked, "All those who came to buy this elixir are from the Demon Sect?"

"Demon Sect?" The Alchemist was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head while smiling, "There aren’t that many female cultivators in the Demon Sect going to buy this elixir. Only high officials, influential figures from the Righteous Path, and commoners can afford it."

Chu Liang nodded and put away the Jade Slip.

"Hmm?" The Alchemist’s eyes narrowed suddenly.

"Our Hall Master wishes to make friends with you." Said Chu Liang.

"Making friends can be done, but what do you mean by this?" The Alchemist asked, glancing at him with displeasure.

"There’s no need to count money amongst friends," Chu Liang replied.

"Mph," laughed the alchemist, shaking his head. In a cold voice, he said, "I already investigated your Hall Master. Of the eight hundred halls in White Bone Hall, he isn’t even the biggest name. If you want to play a black-bag job with me, maybe if it was the White Bone Mountain Old Man himself. A mere Black Feather General hardly qualifies... let alone the few small fry he’s sent over..."

Having walked the line between the two worlds to carry on such illicit businesses, he naturally had certain skills. As his voice fell, the fog outside the hall suddenly thickened!

Boom——

Accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder, the entire hall instantly became like a isolated island, teeming with spiritual energy within!

Various strange flowers and unusual plants sprouted from the courtyard outside, transforming into fearsome demon beasts!

"Rawr——"

The moment this great formation was just activated, Chu Liang moved as well.

With a flick of his finger, he employed the Beheading Red Famous Sword, instantly drawing several yin runes in mid-air, fiercely stabbing towards the side hall!

Whoosh——

The passage of the dense yin energy caused frost to form, yet it was different from ice runes. Besides the bone-chilling cold, it carried a heavy scent of death.

Pft.

This sword was like a Yin Dragon, penetrating the wall and revealing the target in front.

It was the little Daoist boy!

Witnessing the powerful sword flying towards him, the little Daoist boy was taken aback. In his panic, he only had time to form a seal to defend himself.

Boom!

A divine apparition suddenly appeared in front of him; its hands clapped together, attempting to stop the incoming sword Qi Yin Dragon in the air!

In the face of life and death, this little Daoist boy, who appeared to be just a few years old, indeed exploded with outstanding cultivation!

However, merely a moment later, the Beheading Red Famous Sword penetrated his body.

Under the power of this Justice Sword, how effective could his hastily formed defense possibly be?

Chu Liang’s attack not only surprised the alchemist and the Daoist boy, but also Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan. They didn’t know why Chu Liang would attack such a young boy. It was not until they saw the boy breaking out into cultivation that they roughly guessed Chu Liang’s intention.

Whoosh——

The Beheading Red Famous Sword flew back, while the Daoist boy fell to the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment, seemingly clueless about how he had revealed himself.

"How... how did you know that he was the main person..." The alchemist trembled as he stood up.

The moment the Daoist boy died, he had started to panic, especially since Chu Liang had also revealed a more powerful strength than he had anticipated.

"Tsk," Chu Liang let out a scornful chuckle, without giving a response.

The moment he saw the Daoist boy, the Beheading Red Famous Sword started to buzz, letting him know that there was blood on this person.

However, after seeing the alchemist, the Beheading Red Famous Sword instead fell silent, showing no impulse towards him.

This was obviously suspicious.

Seeing the three of them closing in on him, the alchemist hurriedly said, "The Elixir is yours, and I won’t take the money. My master is already dead. I... please let me go...let’s be friends!"

Whoosh——

The sword light, without any hesitation, thrust through his body.

Chu Liang’s eyes were cold.

In this dark place hidden in the light, if he could take advantage of the opportunity to eradicate it, it would, indeed, be perfect.

After the killing, he frisked the alchemist and found a magical storage tool. It could be directly opened, and there wasn’t anything particularly valuable inside. Then he checked the boy’s body, taking a small jade gourd from his waist.

This was also a magical storage tool, only of slightly higher grade, requiring a specific seal technique. Chu Liang wasn’t in a hurry; he could find a professional to open it back on the mountain.

The three of them searched it thoroughly, uncovering some alchemy tools and rare spiritual plants, and found a large collection of human skin and bones in a cave behind the mountain.

"Dammit," Luo Yao muttered a curse under her breath.

When they returned to the main hall, Cang Ying had just walked in. After the external formation was activated, he had been unable to observe what was happening on this side. Recognizing their swift action in taking out the enemy, he glanced inside the hall, looking rather surprised.

He didn’t expect these three to handle the situation so efficiently.

In truth, the original intention of General Black Feather was simply to test the waters with them. Although he called them his brothers, it wasn’t as if he didn’t consider using these newcomers as cannon fodder.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Cang Ying’s eyes revealed a trace of admiration.

Brutal enough not to spare even a child.
