Chapter 810 Divine Medicine Essence! Advancement to the 3rd Divine Treasure!
The thing that rushed out of the tortoise's body was incredibly powerful, but before it could even make a few impacts, it was enveloped by the net of demonic power.
After seeing the thing clearly, Yan Ruyu was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The Peacock King also had a strange expression, but Chu Yang already knew what it was, so he was not surprised.
Within the vast net of demonic energy, a white rat the size of a palm was waving its claws, seemingly trying to tear the net apart.
His comical appearance and weak strength contrasted sharply with his aura, which rivaled that of an ancient emperor.
"What...what kind of ancient creature is this?"
Even the Peacock King, with his vast knowledge and experience, could not recognize the origin of this white mouse.
Chu Yang smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just an ordinary mouse."
Now Yan Ruyu couldn't contain her curiosity either and asked, "How can an ordinary rat... have such a terrifying aura?"
At first, she and the Peacock King thought that this ancient creature had a contingency plan left by an ancient emperor, which was why it emitted an aura comparable to that of an ancient emperor after the stone skin was broken.
But now it seems that it is the terrifying aura that the white rat itself possesses!
But this white rat, which could be suppressed by the Peacock King with a wave of his hand, doesn't seem like an emperor at all!
The Peacock King waved his hand, and a net of demonic power fell, from which Chu Yang pulled out the white rat.
The rat struggled to grab Chu Yang's hand, but couldn't even leave a mark.
Aside from its incredible speed and imposing presence, this rat seemed to possess nothing extraordinary.
Grabbing the rat by the scruff of its neck, Chu Yang lifted it up, waved it in front of the Peacock King and Yan Ruyu, and then said:
"To be precise, this is a gluttonous rat. It must have eaten something terrible to turn into this state."
"Possessing immense divine power, yet lacking intelligence and unable to utilize it, otherwise, after such a long period of time, it would at least be a great demon of saintly level!"
Chu Yang was able to see so much because the Great Luo Divine Eye had seen through the true nature of the white rat.
However, his words were only half true. The thing that caused the rat to transform was too powerful, which was why he was on guard against the Peacock King.
The Elixir of Immortality!
This rat is practically a walking miracle drug, its flesh and blood brimming with the essence of a divine medicine.
Chu Yang even suspected that the fruit pit was leftover from the white rats!
However, compared to the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality, the fruit core and the essence of a white mouse's flesh and blood combined are far inferior.
Besides, how could the ancient emperor of yesteryear have allowed an ordinary rat to steal and eat the elixir of immortality hidden away?
Moreover, divine medicine possesses a spirit, making it difficult even for powerful cultivators to obtain, let alone an ordinary mouse.
So he guessed that what the rat ate was probably only a part of the elixir of immortality, and that was only due to a once-in-a-millennium coincidence.
As for why Chu Yang was able to see all of this?
Don't forget, the elixir of immortality contains the rules of the Great Dao!
It was because he took the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality that Chu Yang was able to comprehend the Nameless Great Dao Runes.
With his divine eye, he also discovered the presence of the Great Dao rules on the white rat.
But it's so thin that even if you eat the sweet potato raw, you probably won't be able to understand it at all.
The fruit pit and the white mouse together could barely be considered half an elixir of immortality, and this harvest was already quite astonishing.
After a moment's thought, Chu Yang put the white mouse into a star.
Apart from the white rat, there was nothing else on this star, so it didn't matter how much this guy messed around inside.
Seeing that everything had settled, the Peacock King waved his hand to dissipate his divine power, then said with a smile, "Today has truly broadened my horizons. My nephew's mastery of Origin Arts is probably no less than that of the Origin Master of yesteryear!"
Chu Yang smiled without saying a word. Comparing Yuan Tianshi to him?
They're not even in the same league!
The Source Book is the inheritance of the Source Master lineage, but I have added Feng Hou Qi Men and Da Luo Dong Guan to the Source Book, and formed my own lineage.
Even if you add up all of Duan De's past lives, let alone Yuan Tianshi, they still can't compare to him in this respect.
After chatting for a few more minutes, the Peacock King left first.
Yan Ruyu wanted to cut the stone open to take a look, but Chu Yang stopped her, saying with a smile, "Wait until I leave before you cut it..."
He then pointed to another source stone, indicating that he should not forget to give it to Qin Yao, before leaving the bedroom.
The contents of these two source stones are not only numerous, but he also estimated that if he kept them, Yan Ruyu would likely return them.
If we keep passing the buck, it'll be a real mess...
Leaving Yan Ruyu's palace, they happened to encounter four descendants of bandits returning from Yaochi Stone Archway.
Chu Yang chuckled and teased, "Why are there only four of you? Didn't you win back the Holy Maiden of Yaochi?"
Tu Fei said nonchalantly, "Damn it! The Jade Pool Holy Land can't afford to play games! They won't let the Holy Maiden come with us!"
He couldn't help but laugh as soon as he finished speaking.
The group went together to the little dragon king in green robes, and then drank and chatted while talking about what had happened at the Jade Pool Stone Archway.
For the next month, Chu Yang did not leave the demon palace, but instead remained in seclusion to digest the source he had gained.
Including the portion given by the Peacock King, and converting all the alien sources into pure sources, Chu Yang had as much as 300,000 jin of sources in his hands!
He naturally had no intention of selling the sword embryo, nor the fruit core and the white rat; only a fool would exchange these treasures for the source.
Chu Yang would not use the divine source that contained the fruit pit until it came in handy.
Because once the divine source is gone, the essence of the fruit kernel will begin to dissipate.
Therefore, Chu Yang's gains this time all came from Yaochi Stone Workshop. The things he brought back and cut out were never intended to be exchanged for Source from the beginning.
This also includes that Human Yuan Fruit!
Or to be more precise, this Human Yuan Fruit was prepared by him for Daoist Long, but he only did so through the Peacock King.
Chu Yang knew very well that the older generation of the demon race were almost all nearing the end of their lives, and the Peacock King was one of the best-preserved among them.
Whether it's the Azure Dragon King or the Crimson Dragon Daoist, they both desperately need the Human Essence Fruit.
Furthermore, since the Crimson Dragon Daoist and the Peacock King were sworn brothers, exchanging a Human Essence Fruit for the favor of these two powerful figures was undoubtedly a very worthwhile deal.
Chu Yang simply hadn't expected the Peacock King to be so eager.
After all, judging by the timeline, the Crimson Dragon Taoist should still be trapped on the Sacred Cliff, his fate unknown.
It now seems that he has likely escaped and successfully severed his path. Only after learning this news did the Peacock King want to get the Human Essence Fruit for his sworn brother.
Chu Yang didn't have a precise idea of when the Crimson Dragon Daoist had escaped his predicament. He only knew that the first public appearance he made after escaping was when he got involved in the Purple Mountain affair.
He certainly couldn't possibly consume 300,000 jin of raw materials all at once.
Chu Yang kept a portion as "working capital," which could be used for array patterns and also as start-up capital for gambling on stones.
The first divine treasure of the Dao Palace Secret Realm has reached perfection, which has used up about 60,000 jin of Yuan, more than he had expected.
The second divine treasure consumed 130,000 jin of Yuan!
So, having just advanced to the third level of divine treasure, he has already used up 190,000 jin of source!
Chu Yang had never expected that the resources required to break through each minor realm would increase exponentially, even within the Dao Palace Secret Realm alone.
In other words, even with a conservative estimate, he would need to acquire at least another 2.5 million jin of source material to cultivate the Dao Palace Secret Realm to perfection!
If the five great divine treasures are all perfected, and new changes occur in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, requiring continued use of source energy to advance these changes, the consumption of resources will likely be even greater...
"Dharma, companions, wealth, land... how come when it comes to me, only wealth remains?"
Chu Yang felt helpless about this, and even felt that his previous plans were too idealistic.
Unlike the smooth progression from the Sea of Wheels to the Dao Palace, there will definitely be a major hurdle when advancing to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
To overcome this hurdle, we need to invest resources!
At that time, we will probably have to prepare tens of millions of kilograms of resources!
If we calculate it this way, wouldn't each minor realm in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm cost nearly a hundred million?
Not to mention the Sendai Secret Realm...
No deity has yet been born from the three divine treasures, and Chu Yang has also failed to successfully combine the Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves with the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
We can only try again after all five divine treasures have been opened.
During his seclusion, in addition to cultivating, Chu Yang also studied the damaged sword embryo and made an astonishing discovery.
After the black catfish fused with the sword embryo, it seemed to be devouring the strange substances in the emerald green liquid, causing the liquid to become increasingly clear.
If this trend continues, it probably won't be long before the emerald green liquid turns completely into clear water.
Now we've figured out that the bronze bowl, the emerald liquid, and the black jade catfish, if taken out individually, are all rather useless.
The black catfish can carry souls, or be a special entity like a sword embryo, but it has no other function.
The emerald green liquid can be used as a medium to nurture the sword embryo within it, through the medium of a black catfish.
During the nurturing process, the special substances in the emerald green liquid will be slowly consumed, while the bronze bowl can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into special substances, which will then be incorporated into the emerald green liquid.
This creates a virtuous cycle, allowing the soul of the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land to continue.
The sword embryo has now disrupted the balance in this cycle, leading to a shortage of special materials.
At first, Chu Yang didn't think of a good solution, but later, with a try-it-out mentality, he put a piece of alien source into it.
In just three days, the one-pound piece of alien source was completely consumed, and the emerald green liquid turned dark green, becoming incredibly rich in special substances.
This discovery is undoubtedly a good thing, as it can greatly accelerate the process of nurturing the sword embryo, and perhaps it won't be long before the sword embryo is completely repaired.
But the premise is...
There needs to be a sufficient source!
She was already a money pit, and now there's another one!
No... there are two!
Because that white rat also needs to consume food!
Otherwise, it will consume the essence of the divine medicine within the flesh and blood!
If enough of the source is consumed, the essence of the divine medicine may even increase.
Chu Yang roughly estimated that if these two big eaters were allowed to eat to their heart's content, they would consume about 100,000 catties of energy every month!
Of course, he definitely wouldn't do that. The sword embryo situation is fine; short-term investments can yield returns.
But for the white mice, there's absolutely no need for that.
As long as it is kept in a state of neither being full nor starving, just like nurturing the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, that is enough.
Every now and then, you should bleed it. The blood, which contains the essence of the divine medicine, is absolutely a precious medicine.
When it really comes down to a critical moment and the white rats need to be used, he can feed them a steady stream of food while simultaneously bleeding them out...
After advancing to the third divine treasure of the Dao Palace, Chu Yang did not rush to leave seclusion, but instead began to deduce the Battle Saint Technique.
He possesses readily available Great Dao rules and runes, whether they are the Great Dao of Nature or the Great Dao of Namelessness, all of which can be integrated into the Battle Saint Technique.
This is far better than last-minute cramming and copying others' methods.
However, after only three days of calculations, Pingyao came knocking on his door.
Chu Yang knew that unless there was an extremely urgent matter, no one in the demon clan's palace would disturb him, because everyone knew he was in seclusion.
So Chu Yang stopped his deductions and walked out of the white jade pavilion. Looking at Qin Yao standing outside, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happened?"
Qin Yao looked him up and down, then smiled and said, "This vigorous energy is becoming more and more alluring..."
"You're quite fair, giving gifts to both me and Her Highness the Princess..."
"What? Little one, do you want to enjoy the blessings of having two women at once, with your sister and His Highness serving you together?"
Chu Yang never expected that before he came out, this vixen looked anxious, but when they met, she didn't mention anything important and instead started teasing him.
Qin Yao giggled, her body trembling with delight, radiating charm.
After a moment, her smile faded, and she said seriously, "Enough joking. I've come to see you today because a major event has occurred in the Holy City!"
"What was once just a rumor is now confirmed: the old God-King of the Jiang family has returned!"
"The Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King proposed taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the Jiang family!"
"His Highness sent me to ask your opinion..."
Regardless of the circumstances, it was because of Chu Yang that a series of grudges arose between the demon race and the Jiang family.
Moreover, he is the real victim, and since he is going to take revenge, he naturally has to be there in person to feel more pleasure.
To Qin Yao's surprise, Chu Yang frowned after hearing his words.
"What? You still want to be a gentleman who doesn't take advantage of others in their time of need?" Qin Yao raised an eyebrow, her expression suspicious.
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with taking advantage of someone's misfortune. The matter is rather complicated. Let's go see Ru Yu and the others first!"
Qin Yao didn't ask any more questions and led him directly to the main hall.
Inside the main hall, Yan Ruyu, the Golden-Winged Little Peng King, the Green-Clad Little Flood Dragon King, the descendants of four great bandits, two supreme experts, and some elders of the demon race were all present.
Chu Yang also unexpectedly saw Pang Bo. He remembered Yan Ruyu saying that when they crossed the Northern Region, Pang Bo...
Or perhaps the old demon who possessed him was in a critical period of seclusion, and since he had not participated in a series of events, he would not be targeted by the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Jiang family, so they simply left him in the Southern Region for the time being.
The demon race arrived in the Northern Region ahead of schedule, but Pang Bo stayed behind. Didn't this give Ye Fan the opportunity to reunite with him, help him sever the old demon's divine will, and regain his physical body?
A blue light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes as he swept the area with his Great Luo Eye, instantly causing a stinging sensation in his eyes.
Apart from Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao, everyone present was either elderly or male. The Great Luo Divine Eye, with its built-in X-ray vision, saw everything clearly.
The blue light subsided, and a hint of a smile flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.
The old demon is no longer inside Pang Bo's body! (End of Chapter)
