Book 1: Chapter 12.1: Pretending To Be Young And Ingenuous Is An Old Man's Special Skill
Out of this drug store, Bai Qiuran looked up at the tomorrow in the sky and muttered to himself.
“Interesting, really interesting.”
The materials he marked were things that normally couldn’t be out of stock, because those materials were most used by the demonic cultivators as the raw materials for the elixir of ascension.
Of course, Bai Qiuran knew how special his situation was. For three thousand years, he has tried various methods to build the foundation, whether it was the incomplete recipe left by immortals, or the remnants of the cults before the Da Cang calendar, or the ancient relics found in the sites of sects that disappeared in history. Even recipes of Evil Sects, who was the nemesis of the Righteous Alliance, he also studied.
Unlike the cultivators of righteous path, who were striving to build the foundation step by step, the cultivators of demonic path were more advocating freedom and advancing. Their philosophy was “everything in the world is for my own use”. Therefore, their skills in all aspects were more radical, and it’s naturally the same in pill refining.
The materials often used by these demonic cultivators were very strong after refining, but they also had very strong side effects. In addition to Bai Qiuran this freak, even the most reckless demonic cultivator was unable to withstand the torture of these pills. So at this time, they would use the special ways they practice to help them digest the medicine power.
Let’s use the four major Evil Sects as an example: when they couldn’t bear the medicine power, the Kamasutra Sect would have sex, the Nether Ghost Sect would go to mass graves or battlefields to absorb the residual souls, and the Heavenly Demon Sect would take spiritual power of a spiritual land. The most extreme one, Blood God Sect, would choose to perform a ritual called Blood Sacrifice.
This ritual required, in the least, the population of a village to be completed. Therefore, among the Evil Sects, Blood God Sect was the most unscrupulous one. Depend on their behavior, maybe a demonic cultivator would not be attacked by the righteous path, but every one of the Blood God Sect has the blood of at least thousands of innocent lives on their hands. Therefore, the major sects of the Righteousness Alliance have given an order: once encountering a member of the Blood God Sect, kill without asking.
However, considering that normal cultivators could also use these materials, Bai Qiuran did a second test. In addition to those materials, he wrote the material of a pill recipe which was the most commonly used by the magicians. And these materials were also out of stock in the store.
This was very strange.
It seems that in Shangxuan Kingdom, there were indeed demonic cultivators. Considering Tang Ruowei’s attitude towards the cultivators, and the rumors he heard from various places about how the emperor of Shangxuan Kingdom was now superstitious about becoming immortal, all the clues were pointed towards the spiritual advisor of Shangxuan Dynasty.
In particular, that guy made corrupt use of the name of his Qingming Sword Sect.
