How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 114 - 0: Refining Plan (Four Updates)
Chapter 114: Chapter 0114: Refining Plan (Four Updates)
After the Infinite Thief’s other identity was revealed, both Kun Ling and Senior Brother Pei hesitated.
“Junior Brother Chen, let’s not discuss whether we can pursue and capture this thief. If the Infinite Thief is confirmed to be Lv Santong, then the matter becomes complicated and difficult to handle. There truly isn’t anyone in Chu Country who dares to touch him!”
Fang Haofei spoke up.
No one in Chu Country dares to touch him?
Chen Yu was genuinely shocked. “What is so special about this Lv Santong?”
Even Yi Yunfei, as the biological son of the Water Moon Sect Master, didn’t have such a daunting influence.
...
“This has to do with Lv Santong’s grandfather. He is the Supreme Elder of the Iron Sword Sect, named Lv Tiantong, colloquially known as ‘Lv Tiezu.'”
Senior Brother Pei said gravely.
“Supreme Elder… Lv Tiezu?”
Chen Yu was shaken.
Having spent a few years in the sect, he had heard some rumors.
“Lv Tiezu is a title of respect people gave him. This Lv Tiantong in his own right is a ‘Guiyuan Realm’ powerhouse, sitting as the Supreme Elder of the Iron Sword Sect!”
“Before the Bone Demon Palace emerged, Lv Tiantong was the foremost individual among the three sects of Chu Country. Moreover, he is still a trump card against the Bone Demon Palace for the three sects today. Without him, the three sects would have long since been defeated.”
The group spoke one after another, filled with reverence.
Guiyuan Realm… Supreme Elder… Lv Tiezu… number one person of Chu Country’s three sects.
This series of titles, all bestowed upon one person, clearly depicted the terrifying and transcendent status of Lv Tiantong.
“So that’s how it is.”
Chen Yu took a deep breath, no wonder everyone hesitated and even gave up pursuing once Lv Santong’s identity was confirmed.
It couldn’t be helped.
Lv Santong’s background was too terrifying. Compared to him, individuals like Yi Yunfei were insignificant.
“Previously, this Lv Santong molested a female disciple and was caught red-handed by a Qi Transformation Realm elder from the Water Moon Sect. However, that Qi Transformation Realm elder could only give him a small reprimand.”
Kun Ling gave a bitter smile.
Even a Qi Transformation Realm elder could only afford a slight punishment.
“This matter is significant. We can only report it to the sect’s upper echelons. For now, this mission is put on hold.”
Kun Ling and Xie Jing exchanged a glance, their faces showing helplessness.
Chen Yu and the others didn’t suffer any losses, and even eliminated the Black Robed Steward and others, earning a merit for themselves.
But their mission was aborted.
“By the way, inside the room.”
Xie Jing suddenly thought of something, taking everyone into Lady Yan’s room.
Soon.
The group rescued Mu Xueqing and Lady Yan, mother and daughter, from the chamber.
Upon learning that Yan Family Castle was stabilized and the enemies from the Bone Demon Palace were annihilated, Lady Yan and her daughter were overjoyed.
“Just letting Lv Santong go after committing such atrocious acts?”
Mu Xueqing’s face was frosty, her teeth clenched in anger.
She was almost violated by Lv Santong.
And that Lady Yan, having been humiliated and toyed with by this villain, who would seek justice for her?
“This exposure can only go through the upper echelons of the sect, our sect’s Supreme Elder, to exert some pressure on the Iron Sword Sect.”
Senior Brother Pei sighed softly.
One could foresee that even with conclusive evidence, if Lv Tiezu decided to protect him, Yunyue Sect would be helpless against Lv Santong.
That day.
Kun Ling and Xie Jing left Yan Family Castle, starting their journey home.
Before leaving.
The pair briefed everyone about the situation at the frontlines.
“In a recent joint battle, the three sects suffered a great defeat! Two Qi Transformation Innates fell. One of them was a Qi Transformation Realm elder from Yunyue Sect.”
This news greatly shook Chen Yu and the others.
An elder had fallen!
It showed that the battle between the three sects and the Bone Demon Palace had entered a decisive stage.
“The fate of Chu Country’s sects will be determined in the coming six months,” Fang Haofei said solemnly.
Once the real decisive battle erupts, Chen Yu, Fang Haofei, Tong Yuling, Mu Xueqing, and other young disciples will all have to enter the battlefield.
After all, it would be a crucial fight for the survival of their sects.
Late at night.
Chen Yu, Fang Haofei, Mu Xueqing, with Senior Brother Pei and Tong Yuling, divided up the spoils of war.
This time.
Although they hadn’t captured the Infinite Thief, the spoils from killing the Black Robed Steward and other members of the Bone Demon Palace were quite substantial.
“Killed six of the Bone Demon Palace Organ Refining Stage, captured five artifacts, including the Black Robed Steward’s staff, which is a lower-grade fine artifact. Other various items, including half-precious artifacts and demonized jackals, totaled up to one hundred forty thousand Grade Essence Stones…”
Senior Brother Pei briefly summarized.
In terms of dividing the contribution, Senior Brother Pei believed that Chen Yu and the three should take the larger share.
Especially Chen Yu, who was indispensable.
Senior Brother Pei decided to give the Black Robed Steward’s Red Patterned Staff to Chen Yu, plus an additional twenty thousand Grade Essence Stones.
Estimating that just the staff alone was worth double that of an ordinary artifact!
Besides.
Senior Brother Pei’s side, having lost a Organ Refining Stage sect member, needed to provide one artifact and twenty thousand Grade Essence Stones as compensation.
Those who exerted the most effort had extra rewards; those who were sacrificed also had compensations.
Everyone agreed on this distribution.
In this way.
Chen Yu grinned as he received the Red Patterned Staff, feeling the faint warmth emanating from it when his fingers touched it.
A lower-grade fine artifact, plus twenty thousand Grade Essence Stones.
Chen Yu was satisfied.
These were merely the spoils of war. He also had the bribe from Yan Hong and the profits from collaborating with the Chu Fengyun Family.
Moreover.
This mission itself came with a certain reward.
It can be said.
This mission had filled Chen Yu’s coffers to the brim.
In the following days,
Chen Yu and his two companions, along with Senior Brother Pei and others, reorganized the Wu and Lin families nearby and eradicated remnants and strongholds of the Bone Demon Palace.
At Yan Family Castle, Chen Yu was fully in charge.
In the end,
The Young Castle Master, Yan Fei, succeeded as the head of the Castle, with Lady Yan and Yan Yuexi aiding him as advisors.
After ten days of reorganization, the area around Yan Family Castle stabilized.
At that time,
the Yunyue Sect sent someone to urge Chen Yu and his two companions to return to the sect as soon as possible.
Not daring to delay, Chen Yu and his companions set off the next day.
Lady Yan and her family watched as the three Yunyue Sect envoys left, their eyes full of gratitude.
“Mother, sister, I too want to enter the sect world.”
Young Castle Master Yan Fei declared, his eyes full of longing.
“Fei’er, the sect world is in chaos and fraught with danger. You have a lower-grade spiritual body, and your qualifications are not weak. Be a good castle master, and one day you will be renowned.”
Lady Yan said lovingly.
…
Three days later,
Chen Yu and his companions returned to Yunyue Sect, handed over their mission at the Sect Affairs Hall, and received their mission rewards.
As team leader, Chen Yu earned seven thousand contribution points and a payment of two thousand grade essence stones.
In a side hall of the Sect Affairs Hall,
Chen Yu and his companions were received by Master Lin.
“After this mission, you can rest for a maximum of ten days before being deployed to the front lines.”
Master Lin said solemnly.
Now, all three sects were at a moment of life or death.
Every Yunyue Sect member, from elders to outer disciples, had to contribute to the survival of the sect.
Chen Yu and his companions had anticipated this.
“I have now reached the Copper Bone Small Success stage. With the High Grade Body Nourishing Pill, I can advance to the Organ Refining Stage at any time, greatly increasing my ability to protect myself!”
Chen Yu felt calm inside.
He had long been aware of the looming disaster of the war in the Chu Country Sect world and had been diligently cultivating and accumulating strength.
Master Lin smiled again and added, “The three of you are new talents of the inner gate, with impressive backgrounds. Your tasks on the battlefield will likely be defensive or logistical. But if the situation becomes dire, you may also be sent to the front lines, to fight directly.”
After returning to the sect,
Chen Yu continued gathering materials for the “Spiritual Ginseng Snake Gallbladder” formula and began purchasing some artifact refining rare ores.
One day,
Chen Yu went to find his master.
Elder Mao was at his residence, having returned from the front lines not long ago, his face somewhat haggard.
“State your business quickly, as I have to assemble a group of new disciples soon, to support the front lines.”
Elder Mao sighed.
From his master’s face, Chen Yu saw anxiety for the first time.
“Disciple has come for two matters…”
Chen Yu began succinctly.
The first matter concerned Lv Santong and the Infinite Thief, which he mentioned briefly.
After all,
Chen Yu had killed Lv Santong’s cherished crow during the melee.
“It has always been speculated that Lv Santong is the Infinite Thief. I’ll report this to the sect’s Supreme Elder Uncle and suggest that Lv Tiezu properly discipline his grandson.”
Elder Mao’s words bore a hint of dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this,
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. While he couldn’t touch Lv Santong, at least this would make him lie low for a while.
“The second matter. Before going to the battlefield, disciple wishes to refine his weapons, incorporating ores such as Moon Spirit Ore.”
Chen Yu continued.
This second matter was his main purpose.
In terms of cultivation, Chen Yu could advance to the Organ Refining Stage at any time, which was not a concern.
He now wanted to refine artifacts, preferably by visiting the Chu Family.
“The Chu Family? That’s easy to arrange. Our sect is looking to have them send reinforcements to the front lines against the Bone Demon Palace.”
Elder Mao’s eyes flashed.
“Ask the Chu Family for reinforcements?” Chen Yu’s heart chilled.
The Chu Family was a clan power near Yunyue Sect, but not a direct vassal like Yan Family Castle.
Now, Yunyue Sect asking the Chu Family for reinforcements reflected the urgency of the situation.
“For this matter, the Sect Master and the Chu Family Ancestor have spoken. You’ll accompany the Chief Disciple, Zong Tianchen, on a visit to the Chu Family the day after tomorrow!”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Elder Mao stated.
“Thank you, Master.”
Chen Yu expressed his gratitude.
Given the current situation, it wasn’t easy for disciples to go out casually.
“By the way, refining weapons requires quite a few rare ores. If you tell me which weapon you want to refine and what spiritual ore materials you need, I can offer some guidance.”
Elder Mao suddenly showed interest.
Chen Yu guessed that Elder Mao might want to trade for some more Moon Spirit Ore from him.
But this was also an opportunity.
Chen Yu wanted to hear Elder Mao’s opinion and trade for some artifact refining materials from him.
Thus,
he took out the “Xuan Heavy Sword” and the “Dark Snake Sword” and demonstrated them in front of Elder Mao, unleashing only about sixty to seventy percent of their power.
“Using the ‘Xuan Heavy Sword’ you can leverage your strength and deploy most of its power; the sword’s quality and materials are good, but it consumes a lot, so it’s not suitable for upgrading. Moreover, as a heavy sword, the materials needed for its refining are several times that of ordinary weapons.”
Elder Mao mused.
“The ‘Dark Snake Sword,’ on the other hand, is much shorter and can be refined into a mid-level artifact at a much lower cost. Mid-level artifacts are generally suited for the Qi Transformation Realm, and the Organ Refining Stage couldn’t sustain it for long. But if you upgrade this short sword to a mid-level artifact, it only needs to be used at critical moments, coupled with the close-range advantage of body cultivation, its momentary explosion is likely unbeatable under the Qi Transformation Realm!”
Elder Mao smiled, seemingly imagining such a scenario.
