Chapter 253: Chapter 191: The Arrival of the Demon Race (Long Chapter) (Part 2)

This is still an ideal scenario, after all, his energy is limited. Purchasing raw materials, production, and sales all require time, and he also needs to be cautious about the methods to not attract attention. In actuality, earning a net profit of one hundred Spirit Stones a month is already good.

However, he’s not in a rush and is taking his time.

...

Two months later.

A major event occurred in the Celestial Killer Mountain range.

The Demon Race’s army finally arrived, and all the Mountain Masters of the Celestial Killer Mountains were conscripted, including the human cultivators under them, who all became "auxiliary troops" of the Demon Race.

Suddenly, the territories of the Mountain Masters were filled with demon troops, and the cultivation grounds of human cultivators were heavily seized. Almost all the Grade C Spirit Veins were occupied by the Demon Race, leaving human cultivators to train on Grade D Spirit Veins.

Spirit Charm Mountain became extremely sought after since it had the lightest Evil Qi among the Grade D Spirit Veins. Zhou Libai and Lady Shee returned, and the Lingyuan Peak area among the three peaks was crowded with eight or nine cultivators.

The Spiritual Evil Peak, where Li An resided, was originally heavy with Evil Qi, so it wasn’t impacted, and no one wanted to join him there.

It would be expected that under such circumstances, many human cultivators might flee the Celestial Killer Mountains, but instead, there was a surge of human cultivators from outside coming in and aligning with the Demon Race!

Because the Demon Race had a large number of Spirit Medicines!

Third Grade Spirit Medicines were commonplace, and even Fourth Grade or extremely rare Fifth Grade Spirit Medicines could be exchanged through contributions!

This caused all the cultivators in the Celestial Killer Mountains to be thrilled!

After all, for True Core cultivators, Third Grade Spirit Medicines could help achieve the Purple Mansion, while Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines were a hope for impacting the Nascent Soul.

Usually, even if one had Spirit Stones, obtaining a Fourth Grade Spirit Medicine would be incredibly difficult.

Now, one only needed to follow the Demon Race, and with enough contributions, they could get it. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

The number of auxiliary troops was rapidly increasing!

Even the contribution points required to stay were skyrocketing, and Li An, with his contributions from Second Grade Purifying Evil Pill, was already insufficient.

"Vermilion Bird King."

Li An carefully inquired about the situation and understood it.

The army that descended upon the Celestial Killer Mountains was led by one of the four top Demon Kings within the Demon Race－the Vermilion Bird King.

It was said that within the Demon Race, the four Demon Kings were contending for the position of Demon Lord, leading to the outbreak of war. The Vermilion Bird King had been defeated and retreated to the Celestial Killer Mountains.

The Vermilion Bird King was resting in the Celestial Killer Mountains, on one hand aggressively recruiting human cultivators as auxiliary troops, and on the other frantically excavating the hidden treasures within the mountains to replenish strength and await a chance to counterattack.

Li An observed that the strength of the Demon Race’s army was very strong, with the low-level Little Demons, Spirit Beasts, etc., all possessing Rank Two or Three strength. Those appointed as "Generals" were all Nascent Soul Level powerhouses!

Mountain Master Bai is currently one of the generals under the Vermilion Bird King.

The strongest True Core cultivators in the army could only serve as commanders.

Li An was very cautious, keeping a low profile and rarely participating in the Demon Race’s missions, etc.

He had no intention of working for the Vermilion Bird King.

The Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines held an irresistible allure for Li An, but he wouldn’t choose to explore ruins, preferring to earn them by submitting Third Grade Purifying Evil Pills, even if it took a bit longer.

However, the ruins in the Celestial Killer Mountains were all exceedingly dangerous; just in the past month or two, he heard of many tragedies with many True Core cultivators perishing.

Despite some successfully exchanging for Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines, causing a stir, Li An remained very clear-headed.

If he could cultivate steadily, he would never take risks.

"Is Lin An here－－"

One day, Gu Xuanting’s voice echoed again, and Li An stepped out, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoist Gu－－"

"General Bai has ordered that all cultivators under his command, those with insufficient contribution points, will be directly dismissed. It’s already been three months, and your contribution points have not reached the newly set amount."

Gu Xuanting stated coldly, "According to Mountain Master Bai’s command, you either obtain the required contributions within three days or pack your things and leave now－－"

Gu Xuanting was definitely in league with Zhou Libai, so he had a lasting impression of Lin An, who had the audacity to reject Zhou Libai’s friendly invitation back then... It made sense to target him.

Li An hesitated for a moment, then immediately took out a box, saying, "Please, fellow Daoist Gu, take a look－－"

Gu Xuanting took the box, opened it for a glance, and his eyes were immediately filled with surprise.

Inside the box were thirty pellets of Third Grade Purifying Evil Pill!

"When did you become a Third Grade Alchemist?!"

He was genuinely surprised. A few years ago, Li An was just a Second Grade Alchemist... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

And now he had advanced?

Could it be that this person is actually a prodigy in the Alchemy Dao?

Or was this person disguising himself a few years ago?

In an instant, he paid serious attention to Li An!

Third Grade Alchemists were currently in high demand in the Celestial Killer Mountains!

After all, with the arrival of the Demon Race’s army, many True Core cultivators now had a new source for acquiring Spirit Medicines. Once obtained, they naturally needed someone to refine them.

But on Zhou Libai’s side, due to the lack of High Tier Alchemists, they had been looking for corresponding talents...

No wonder, no wonder Li An could practice steadily on this Spiritual Evil Peak, he wasn’t lacking in Purifying Evil Pill...

"Can the contribution points reach the retention amount?" Li An asked calmly.

Gu Xuanting hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course!"
