Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Trying to Join

Ye Qingci looked at Su Chengyu, whose expression was grave, and chuckled lightly, "It seems that your trip to Dongying also uncovered some news."

Su Chengyu blinked and said, "I hadn’t anticipated that the Demon Slayer Department’s purge of Qingqiu would be carried out to such an extent."

"Indeed, who could have foreseen it? Just the other day, they were our best allies among the Demon Clan, and then suddenly the Demon Slayer Officer personally launched an attack, attempting to annihilate them all."

"The drinker’s intent is not on the wine, the Demon Slayer Department is worried that someone will make a comeback."

Ye Qingci neither agreed nor disagreed but turned to look in the direction of Xia Country.

"Dongying is indeed fraught with crises, but all the dangers are out in the open. As for the Jiugui of Yihe, who have been scheming against us all along, we always had a clear understanding of them and knew they might turn against us at any moment. But in Xia Country, you never know who might become your enemy the next second."

Ye Qingci’s words seemed to recount past events, but in fact, he was discussing the current situation with Su Chengyu.

Now Su Chengyu faced such a predicament upon his return to Capital City.

And in such circumstances, even if Ye Qingci wanted to help, he was powerless. After all, it still depended on Su Chengyu himself.

"Aunt Ye, rest assured, I’ll be careful," he said.

Ye Qingci finally nodded her head and said nothing more, bringing forth the Sky-splitting Sword, then turned into a ray of light that vanished into the sky right before Su Chengyu’s eyes.

Su Chengyu watched Ye Qingci leave without concealing her aura and shook his head with a sigh of helplessness. He understood that her blatant exposure was intended to attract the attention of others and prevent anyone from spying on him.

But Ye Qingci wasn’t at her peak strength now.

"Let’s just hope nothing goes wrong," he murmured.

"You, a mere Nascent Soul Third Level cultivator, still have the audacity to worry about an Earth Immortal? Getting a bit ahead of ourselves, are we?"

No sooner had Ye Qingci left than the voice of the Heaven-Mending Stone rang out, teasing Su Chengyu without courtesy.

Guessing why the stone was so eager, Su Chengyu laughed lightly, "A Nascent Soul Third Level cultivator like myself has to take care of sacred objects from the Immortal World. What’s wrong with worrying about an Earth Immortal?"

The Heaven-Mending Stone was instantly at a loss for words; under normal circumstances, it would have rebutted immediately, but now...

"You do have a point, and you do look quite handsome when you show concern for others."

With a light chuckle, Su Chengyu replied, "Compliments won’t help you; I can’t give you the Demon God demon Dan just yet."

"Why not? What else could you possibly do with it? Surely it’s best for me to swallow it!"

The Heaven-Mending Stone spoke anxiously, its willingness to humble itself before Su Chengyu evidently resulting from the Demon God demon Dan.

It hadn’t dared to speak up when Ye Qingci was present, fearing she might notice something odd, but now that Ye Qingci was gone, it naturally began to cajole and press Su Chengyu to hand over the demon Dan.

However, Su Chengyu shook his head again: "I can’t use it for the time being, but I want Aunt Feng to take a look first, it might be useful to her."

"Come on, her injuries are to God’s Soul, which isn’t much different from your disciple’s condition. If the elixirs are ineffective, the demon Dan won’t be of much help either."

Although the Heaven-Mending Stone hadn’t realized Feng Jie Yu’s injuries at first glance, it had observed her for a while after learning of them and had a rough understanding of where Feng Jie Yu was hurt.

However, Su Chengyu still shook his head, "Let’s talk about it later. Anyway, after swallowing this demon core, you can’t ascend another level."

"How do you know?"

Heaven-Mending Stone looked at Su Chengyu in surprise, not expecting that Su Chengyu would notice this detail.

"I guessed. After all, based on the speed of your previous strength improvement, you should have already moved towards the Hollow Realm by now. Since you haven’t made a breakthrough, I thought it might not be due to a lack of mana."

Along the way, Heaven-Mending Stone had not refrained from consuming the good things beside Su Chengyu; he was reluctant to share various herbs, but most of the magic artifacts obtained from the trip to Dongying were given to both Wasteland Sky Halberd and Heaven-Mending Stone.

Among these, Heaven-Mending Stone got the lion’s share, while Wasteland Sky Halberd received less.

Now that Wasteland Sky Halberd had acquired these magic artifacts, it was already capable of performing the second style of the Wasteland Sky Halberd in collaboration with Su Chengyu, yet Heaven-Mending Stone hadn’t made any progress, which was telling.

"There’s a bit of a problem, but it’s not a big deal. I will be able to break through soon. When that time comes, it’s not impossible for me to reach the Earth Immortal level, let alone the Hollow Realm."

Heaven-Mending Stone spoke diplomatically, and Su Chengyu immediately understood that it didn’t want to disclose its own unspeakable difficulties, so he didn’t expose it and said softly.

"Then I’ll wait for your good news. Maybe by that time, I can also give you this demon core."

"It’s a deal."

The two reached an agreement, and Heaven-Mending Stone stopped causing mischief. Su Chengyu then began to inventory the gains from his trip to Dongying.

In terms of magic artifacts, aside from the new body of the Dragon Sword gifted to him by Ye Qingci, the highest quality belonged to the six Heavenly Son Royal Seals.

Yet, they were now all shattered, having lost their mana and divine skills.

However, the most important True Dragon Reverse Scales had all gathered into the True Dragon Armor, which, with the Traveling Dragon as its artifact spirit, was now a bona fide King-grade Divine Artifact.

But for the True Dragon Armor to progress further, it did not only require a substantial amount of True Dragon Reverse Scales but also the further growth of the Traveling Dragon artifact spirit to completely take control of the Small Opening within it.

On the other hand, the state of the Dragon Slayer Artifact Spirit was much better; it had absorbed the overflow of medicinal power from the God-ranked Elixir, which further strengthened the Artifact Spirit itself. After changing the sword’s body, the Dragon Slayer Sword had now also entered the ranks of King-grade Divine Artifacts.

Moreover, the Small Opening inside the sword body was much more expansive than that of the True Dragon Armor and had been completely taken over by the Dragon Slayer Artifact Spirit, which was in a much better state than the True Dragon Armor.

With these two Small Openings at his command, Su Chengyu no longer needed to rely on the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map. After ascending the mountain, he also planned to return this treasured artifact of Mount Qingcheng back to Qingcheng itself.

In terms of medicinal ingredients, there wasn’t much gain, save for the few remaining Mermaid Tear Pearls; there were not any special raw materials replenished.

Dongying was, after all, somewhat lacking in resources, and the only place Su Chengyu visited, the burial ground, was a dead land that hadn’t nurtured any special natural treasures.

Apart from a large amount of Dragon Bone Powder, the only thing that could be considered a medicinal ingredient was the few stalks of Flame Grass picked from the site where the Yamata no Orochi died.

However, due to its nature of growing in extremely hot environments and because of its inherently high temperature, it was very difficult to integrate its medicinal properties, and there were very few uses for it.

"I’ll see later if anyone on the Nine Heavens Dark Web wants it. After all, it is an ingredient that can be used to concoct a God-ranked Elixir."

As Su Chengyu was speaking softly, a movement in his mind emerged; the Earth Fragment conveyed that someone was calling him.

Only then did Su Chengyu stop what he was doing, withdrawing his consciousness to join the group chat.
