Chapter 1 Swallowing the Demon Core
In the eastern part of the vast Xuantian Continent, Luohuang City on the edge of the ancient Cangshan Mountains, the Li Family Mansion Pharmacy, one of the three major families.
"Li Chen, today is your last time to test the medicine. Tomorrow the third lady will take you to Xuanyun Sect and give it to her a senior brother as a medicine slave!"
Li Mingyun, who was supervising the medicine slave, looked at the scar-faced boy under the wall with a frown, half a man in the water tank with his hands locked, all of whom were soaked in the pungent smell of medicine.
"I understand, sir!"
Li Chen shrank his neck and lowered his head, his hair covering up the humiliation and unwillingness that flashed through his eyes. When he raised his head, he had turned into cowardice he had in his usual days.
Li Mingyun took out a jade bottle with expressionless expression, poured out a crystal-like elixir, the size of a thumb, and flicked it gently, and the flowing light flashed through it and fell straight into Li Chen's mouth.
"Hiss!"
As soon as the pill was in his mouth, blue veins on Li Chen's face burst out, covering most of the dark red scars on his left cheek. A faint blood light flashed, corresponding to the bruises on his face. His entire face was distorted, which made him feel a bit ferocious and evil.
The iron chains roared and the roar continued for a cup of tea before Li Chen gradually calmed down, and a faint milky gray cyclone appeared above his head.
"The cyclone is born in this barren land. It is rare to find a junior who can reach the Dan Cyclone realm. Unfortunately, he is a waste born with blocked meridians and unable to condense internal breath!"
Li Mingyun frowned slightly and looked gloomy, as if he had remembered some unhappy past.
But his words were extremely amazing. You should know that the strongest person in the entire Li family was the old man who lived in seclusion for many years. It is rumored that he was a master in the forging of the true realm.
Seeing that he looked like he didn't even take the Danxuan realm warriors above him, under Li Chen's hoarse shouts and the fog that kept swelling, in the dim pharmacy, Li Mingyun's expression and words suddenly seemed extremely mysterious.
"Sir, the medicinal smell of Bauhinia and Moyun Grass is a bit heavy, so it should be put too much!"
After half an hour, Li Chen slowly woke up, his face was flushed, and the bruises and swelling on his face were also eliminated by the lesson of the third lady. He untied his handshakes and walked out of the water tank.
Li Mingyun took out the paper and pen and recorded it casually, waved his hand to let him go, but just looked at his figure. His deep eyes were full of doubts: "This kid is really special in physique. He is not afraid of the toxicity in the waste pill, and can also refine his body. For three years, I can't find out what the problem is. If it weren't for his meridian problems, it would be a good choice!"
......
The next morning, indifferent to the tribe members who bid farewell to the third lady Li Yuerong out of Phoenix City, the disdain of the servants, Li Chen set foot on the territory of Xuanyun Sect.
Time flies, like a flash of time, Li Chen has been in Xuanyun Sect for several months in a flash.
Rust!
In the dim night sky, the five fingers can be seen in the remote valley of Luoyun Peak, there was a man sitting on the ground with his back against the well, with two huge wooden barrels beside him.
"It's time to go back!"
After pounding his sore shoulders, Li Chen took a deep breath, supported his tired body, and held the shoulder pole on his shoulders. This was the seventh trip today. Even though he was extremely physically strong, comparable to a warrior at the third and fourth levels of the inner breath realm, he was exhausted.
In addition to verifying whether the elixir is successful and explaining the pharmacology of the failed elixir, the work over the past few months is cleaning the courtyard and carrying water.
If his body had not been tempered by the poisonous elixirs for many years, and normal people who have no internal breathing would probably have to die of exhaustion.
"You're looking for death!"
The loud shout with murderous intent made Li Chen, who was about to get up, was shocked. He hid behind the wooden barrel in a short shape, and showed his head slightly to look into the distance.
Under the dark night light, a pair of eyes flashed strangely.
"Liu Qingshu, don't bully people too much!"
Not far away, there were continuous sounds in the woods, and the sound of gold and iron roared. The so-called dark moon and high winds were the real portrayal of this moment.
It is located remotely, with woods and piles of rocks covering it, so the sound cannot be heard at all.
That is, Li Chen is just below, so he can hear it clearly.
"ah!"
After a cup of tea, another scream came from a distance, followed by a stumble sound coming from far to near, making Li Chen, who was hiding, feel a slap in his heart.
He hid here not for the fisherman to benefit, but did not want to be discovered by people who were obviously fighting against Xuanyun Sect disciples.
As his slave, any disciple can step on it. If he is discovered, the only thing waiting for him is to kill someone to silence him.
There are struggles in places where there are people. Since childhood, due to facial defects, the body cannot condense internal breath. Although Li Chen, who is only fourteen or five years old, has long been used to seeing the cold and cold world and the warm and cold human feelings.
He has heard a lot in Xuanyun Sect for several months. The disciples of the sect obviously do not have the harmony they imagined, and it is even more common for them to disappear.
"Die together!"
"Damn it!"
The sound of the bones rolled and continued, causing a piece of gravel to come to the valley.
"Huh! Dead?"
Li Chen stared at the place where the black shadows slid down, and he had enough time to hold up his tea.
Seeing that there was no more movement, Li Chen hesitated for a while before he got up and leaned over with courage.
It can be seen that two disciples in green were lying in the rocks, motionless. Li Chen knew that it was the exclusive clothing of the outer disciples.
"Ahem!"
One of them suddenly coughed several times with difficulty, raised his head and saw Li Chen, "Save me!"
"Ah...oh!"
Li Chen shivered and hesitated for a while. The kindness in his heart made him approach tentatively, and reached out to support the person's shoulder.
bass!
A bright light flashed through Li Chen's eyes. It was a cold light of weapons. In an instant, Li Chen's cold hair stood up. The reaction power he had been trained by Li Yuerong, the third lady of the Li family, made him unstoppable at this moment. He lay back without hesitation and kicked him out.
Bang!
Two muffled sounds in succession, the man was kicked away and hit the rocks. He opened his mouth and spewed out a blood arrow. The dagger with a flashing cold light fell down and lay on the ground and twitched for a few times without any sound.
“Huhhh…uhhh!”
After gasping for a few heavy breaths, Li Chen swallowed his saliva and looked at the man in green who had no sound anymore, and then a hint of fear arose in his heart.
But then, a sharp pain hit my heart and subconsciously looked into my chest.
Under the left chest, blood stains spread out, and a stream of ice covered the whole body in an instant, which was caused by excessive blood loss.
"No...I'm not willing to give up...I'm still...I haven't become a warrior yet...let's grandpa...please rest in peace..."
With a thud, Li Chen's eyes blurred. He lay on his back and muttered, and a large stream of blood foam surged out.
It only took a few months to enter Xuanyun Sect. Although it was very difficult on weekdays, in this sect, there might be an encounter one day, which could lift the shackles in the body, repair the internal breath like an ordinary person, and fulfill Lao Li's wish.
But I didn't expect that today, my kind heart was moved, but I suffered this disaster. It really responded to the words that Lao Li often said back then - human hearts are unpredictable!
"Can't die..."
His firm mind supported him not to faint. He turned his body hard and reached out to touch the other person who was lying down.
It’s a piece of cold to buy, and it’s two bottles of medicine.
Li Chen recognized that it was the lower-grade Gasing Pill distributed by the outer disciples of Xuanyun Sect, but unfortunately it was useless to him.
I suppressed my dizziness and then reached out to a jade box the size of a palm. I took it out and opened it with great effort. It was a walnut-sized crystal core that was mottled and emitted a faint fluorescent light inside.
"Demon core!"
Li Chen's eyes shrank slightly, took a deep breath, and looked at the demon core, and the light in his eyes was flashing.
Although I know that the two will inevitably compete for some kind of treasure, I never thought it would be a demon core.
Judging from the size of this demon core, it is very owned by the late-stage monsters in the first-level stage. This level of strength must be handled by warriors above the seventh level of the Condensation Realm.
Such demon cores are enough to compare with several top-grade cultivating pills, and even more than a dozen.
The Li family has been working as a full-time medicine slave for three years, and has various pills that have been used to destroy pills. No matter what kind of medicine is, except that the body is much stronger than ordinary warriors, it is useless to him.
Only the demon core, he has never seen it before, let alone try it!
However, the demon core cannot be taken directly. It contains the unique demonic energy of monsters, which is an extremely irritable and extremely destructive force.
If you take it rashly, you will inevitably be torn apart by the demonic energy and exploded and die. A powerful warrior can refine and eliminate the demonic energy by relying on his cultivation, or use special means, but it is only for demonic cores with lower cultivation than him. If the cultivation level is comparable, it will be extremely difficult to succeed.
For those like Li Chen who don’t even have internal energy, not to mention the first-level late-stage demon core, even in the early stage, it is enough to kill him on the spot, let alone he is seriously injured now.
"If you fight, you will die or live, this is a kill!"
Li Chen waved his body, gritted his teeth, and opened his mouth to stuff the demon core into his mouth.
He swallowed it with a gulp, not as hard as he imagined, but a cold squirmed through his whole body, causing Li Chen to shivered, and then a severe pain spread throughout his body from his belly.
"Wooah!"
He suppressed the severe pain in his body desperately, and cold sweat slid down his body. Li Chen gritted his teeth and persevered. He suddenly stood up and sat cross-legged in his dantian with both hands, and ran the Li family-level advanced exercises that he had been familiar with in the past three years, "Rongyang Jue".
This was when he was the first medicine slave, and he reached the point of condensing his inner breath in just over a month. In order to win him over, the senior executives of the Li family gave him a special gift and even intended to marry him. As a result, he was a useless body that could not condense his inner breath.
"puff!"
The blood and blood in his body swelled, and he vomited three blood arrows one after another. The severe pain that was like tearing apart the soul. Even though Li Chen suffered from the pain of using pills for three years, he almost couldn't bear it and dispersed his skills.
Fortunately, his mind had been tempered with great perseverance and forced himself to hold on. However, the wound on his left chest was spurted out with a blood mist under the stimulation of violent demonic power.
