Chapter 269: Chapter 111: Five Forms Break One Will, Limit of Realm
He can’t go to the sect to cultivate this.
This Demon Intent Cultivation Technique clearly requires him to take off the Purple Ice Copper robes to practice, and during the cultivation process, his body type that "is clearly not a demon but exhibits demon features" is sure to be revealed.
At that time, there would be no way to explain anything.
Feng Mengrou asked, "Why?"
Li Xuan said, "Senior Sister should know, Secret Martial Arts and demon forms all have an obsession."
Feng Mengrou replied, "They do."
Li Xuan said, "My obsession is my family."
Feng Mengrou said, "Then..."
She hesitated.
She initially wanted to say, "Either simply move to one of the nine towns at the foot of the sect’s mountain."
But there were many issues with that,
First, the Divine Martial Monarch has potential but hasn’t yet shown talent or strength, so whether the sect agrees to let his family move is still a question;
Second, many of the nine towns at the foot of the sect’s mountain are quite xenophobic; she must consider what happens if the Divine Martial Monarch’s family is bullied or even worse.
Hence, Feng Mengrou said, "Then... you’ll have to buy more Peaceful Mind Pills from me, your senior sister."
Li Xuan asked, "How do you sell them?"
Feng Mengrou said, "If sold outside, they are two thousand taels of gold each, and one pill can maintain a month’s worth of peace of mind.
But your four demon forms’ Demon Intent is certainly not easy to handle, I suggest you prepare two pills each time you break through Demon Intent, and then take one.
And when Demon Intent breaks into reality, prepare four pills each time, and take two first.
If your potential is overwhelming, you can break through Demon Intent from demon forms in two years, and then break through to reality from Demon Intent. Then you need to prepare 72 Peaceful Mind Pills, which are one hundred forty-four thousand taels of gold.
Besides, there’s the Hundred Spirits Pills you need, and to avoid the need for eating, drinking, and eliminating, you’ll need at least another seventy thousand taels of gold.
Round it off, a total of two hundred and ten thousand taels of gold."
Li Xuan: ...
It’s not that he can’t afford it, he just feels a bit like there’s "super inflation" going on.
Feng Mengrou looked at his expression and laughed, covering her mouth, "But, who made me fancy you, my junior brother? I can give you all these pills as a gift."
Li Xuan was stunned, then instantly understood.
If he succeeds, these pills are an investment.
If he doesn’t, he will likely turn into a chaos demon, and at that point, she could still ask the Li family for repayment, knowing they wouldn’t refuse.
So, Li Xuan didn’t reject it, he said, "Thank you, senior sister."
Then he asked, "My wife who invested in Purple Mist Peak, she didn’t take money with her and can’t afford pills, how should I send her money?"
Feng Mengrou laughed, "You don’t have to worry about that, since your concubine has become a disciple of Purple Mist Peak, she can obtain resources by carrying out sect missions."
Li Xuan asked, "What kind of missions are there typically?"
Feng Mengrou said, "The Meat Pills require a large amount of demon flesh, and although Bronze Plain is not lacking in demons, hunting demons is the most common mission."
Li Xuan was shocked.
This is some kind of "angel mission".
He had looked at the maps, Bronze Plain is a vast wilderness, though located between the countries of Great Yong and Yin Country, its territory is almost as large as half of Great Yin.
Of course, this is also the speculation of the map makers, as people only venture to the outskirts of Bronze Plain, while the depths are difficult due to the presence of demons.
For example, Great Yin and Great Yong are like the top and bottom lips of a wide open mouth, and Bronze Plain is a huge loaf of bread crammed between those lips.
In the past, Li Xuan did not venture to Bronze Plain because, firstly, there were many affairs in Great Yin, and secondly, he had no knowledge of those fields, so he hadn’t taken action.
At this moment, he became interested, pretending to worry, "I wonder what tier those demons are?"
Feng Mengrou said, "You’re this concerned about your concubine?"
Li Xuan said, "She’s my woman, of course I’m concerned."
Feng Mengrou said, "Typically, demon-form disciples who are new to the sect don’t form teams by themselves but rather pair up with a few others, targeting mainly juvenile demons.
Unless they’re unlucky and encounter a particularly fearsome type among the Tier One demons.
However, Bronze Plain doesn’t have such terrifying demons, mostly ones with thick skin and coarse flesh."
Li Xuan took a deep breath, seeming to be worried, but actually "already smelling the fresh air from afar."
The demons in Great Yin had already been swept clean by him.
He was in need of Demon Points at the moment.
"By the way, what even is a Meat Pill?" Li Xuan continued to ask.
He had just heard of it, and now Feng Mengrou brought it up again, he couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
Feng Mengrou laughed, "Why do you want to know everything?"
Then said, "Well, senior sister fancies you, so I’ll tell you.
During our cultivation, we need to focus totally; if at a critical point in cultivation one suddenly needs to eat, drink, or eliminate, how uncomfortable would that be?
And a sesame seed-sized Meat Pill can allow you to not need food for a whole day, without needing to drink or eliminate either.
The main ingredient of a Meat Pill is demon flesh, a Tier One demon’s flesh makes a Tier One Meat Pill, and so on."
Li Xuan nodded.
So it’s the same as the "Fasting Pill" he had read about in his past life.
As for Wei Yao, he wasn’t overly concerned.
He had "planted an eye" on Wei Yao.
This eye was ineffective within the Lingyi Sect, but once it was at Bronze Plain, it essentially opened again.
Then, if Wei Yao encountered demons she couldn’t handle, he could invoke incense to support.
As for the rest, it would be resolved during cultivation.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan sincerely expressed his gratitude.
No matter what Feng Mengrou’s intention was, she practically let Li Xuan learn a lot. Even though if there wasn’t Feng Mengrou, there might well be others to teach Li Xuan, but ultimately the person who did so was Feng Mengrou, therefore... the one who is destined to be connected with him, Li Xuan, is Feng Mengrou, and not anyone else.
