Demon's Diary

Chapter 1237: Elixir Obtained

“Slash!”

Liu Ming let out a low shout and launched a symbol.

The golden bead turned into a small golden sword and disappeared in a blur.

The crimson flame beastkin showed a hint of fear in its giant eyes. It tried to flee, but it was obviously too late.

Suddenly, a thin, invisible golden sword qi emerged on the neck of the crimson flame beastkin and circled around its neck at lightning speed.

The next moment, the golden sword qi re-condensed into a golden bead and disappeared.

The crimson flame beastkin’s head fell to the ground. A giant gush of blood rose into the sky.

The huge body shook for a moment, and it fell heavily on the ground. Its soul had already been eliminated by the unparalleled sharp sword qi before it tried to escape.

In the Hell Prison, the kirin phantasm aspect also roared unwillingly. It burst into a huge torrent of vitality.

The surrounding black light also burst apart.

Liu Ming launched a few symbols and turned the 12 hell river ghost kings back into the Mountain River Pearls, then he retrieved them. Afterward, a crimson bead also flew out from the corpse of the crimson flame beastkin and fell into his hand.

It was the beastkin core of this beastkin.

Immediately, an abnormal heat wave swept from the bead in all directions, causing the surrounding temperature to rise a lot suddenly.

“Finally got the crimson flame beastkin’s beastkin core!” Lan Si’s complexion was a little pale. She looked at the bead in Liu Ming’s hand with burning eyes as she blurted out.

Xue Long also looked uncertain for a while, but she didn’t do anything.

“Miss Xue Long, do you have other materials to refine the crimson flame pill?” Liu Ming asked suddenly.

“Why do you want these materials now?” Xue Long said with a frown.

“Brother Liu, do you want to refine the crimson flame pill right now?” Lan Si asked in surprise.

“Yes. Although this beastkin core contains a trace of the Celestial State crimson flame beastkin’s natal flame, I can feel that this beastkin fire has gradually weakened since the moment the beastkin died. If we wait for another 10 days or half a month, even if I can refine the crimson flame pill, the effect will be greatly reduced.” Liu Ming said flatly.

“Really!?” Lan Si was startled, then she turned to look at Xue Long.

Xue Long was also full of astonishment. When she released Divine Thought to scan the thing in Liu Ming’s hand, she also confirmed it. She just stared at the bead without speaking for a while.

Liu Ming held the beastkin core with one hand with a blank face.

“If you refine here, how confident are you?” After an unknown amount of time, the woman gritted her teeth and finally spoke.

“50%.” Liu Ming replied without thinking.

With his current attainments in alchemy, even if it was the first time he refined this elixir, he still had a success rate of 30%. Plus the Liushen Cauldron and the main material was the freshest without any spiritual loss, it was actually very conservative to say that he had 50%.

When Xue Long heard this, although she looked calm on the surface, she was shocked in her mind.

“Okay. I’ll trust you just once.”

After thinking quickly for a while, she finally stomped her feet and threw a delicate blood-colored leather bag to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming took the leather bag and kept them away together with the beastkin core without even looking at them.

Next, they immediately found a relatively secluded place among the volcanoes and opened up 2 adjacent cave houses.

Liu Ming asked them to pay attention to the movement around the cave house while healing their injuries in one of the cave houses, then he went into another cave house and reminded to not disturb him no matter what happened.

He took out all the formation tools and set up several small arrays in the cave house. After sealing the cave house completely, he summoned Xie’er and let her protect him.

After finishing all this, Liu Ming sat cross-legged in the cave, took out the prescription to refine the crimson flame pill that he got from Xue Long and checked the materials in his hand again, After making sure that everything was ready, he took out a small emerald green cauldron from the Sumeru Ring.

…

A dozen days passed in a flash.

At the entrance of the cave house of Liu Ming, 2 slender figures were standing side by side, talking to each other.

“Lan Si, do you think Liu Ming has failed to refine and dare not come out to see us? It’s been so long, and there is no movement inside. I’m really anxious. Even if the refinement fails, just come out and admit your mistake. I’m a dignified young master of the Blood Vine Race, why would I care about this mere crimson flame beastkin’s beastkin core!”

The one who spoke was naturally Xue Long.

At this time, she had already recovered from the previous injuries. Now she was blocked by the enchantments set up by Liu Mng, so she seemed extremely anxious.

“Sister Xue, based on what I know about Mr. Liu, if he promised, he will definitely keep his word. Since he hasn’t come out yet, it means that he is still trying. Let’s wait longer.” Lan Si reassured her.

“It’s been 20 days. Maybe he has gone crazy while refining pill inside. Why don’t we break the enchantment and check it? Maybe we can save his life.” Xue Long turned her big eyes and actually said something that made Lan Si smile bitterly.

“Blood Sister, Mr. Liu has told us to not disturb him when he entered the cave. In case he is at a critical moment…” Lan Si was helpless against the Blood Vine Race princess, so she had to explain politely.

Hearing this, Xue Long stopped her hand that just stretched out, then retracted it unwillingly.

At this moment, a soft sound came from the entrance of the cave house where Liu Ming was. The black mist that had originally sealed the cave tumbled, and a green figure came out and stopped before the 2 women.

It was Liu Ming.

He looked a little haggard, but there was a hint of excitement on his face.

“Mr. Liu, you… you came out.” Lan Si said with a happy face.

“Yeah you came out, but it’s hard to say whether the elixir is refined or not.” Xue Long snorted lightly.

“Hehe, I lived up to your expectations.” Liu Ming smiled nonchalantly as he took out a jade box appeared. There were 4 red elixirs that exuded bursts of rich spirit.

“It’s crimson flame pills!” Lan Si blurted out when she saw the 4 elixirs.

Xue Long couldn’t help being slightly startled, and she looked at Liu Ming in disbelief.

Liu Ming raised one hand, and 2 red elixirs flew out from the jade box and went toward Xue Long and Lan Si respectively.

“Do you have any problem with this distribution?” Just as the 2 women reached out to catch the elixirs, Liu Ming’s faint voice came out slowly.

Lan Si naturally had no objection to this distribution.

Although Xue Long was somewhat reluctant, since Liu Ming contributed the most to beheading the crimson flame beastkin this time and he had also succeeded in refining the elixirs herself, she was naturally embarrassed to ask anymore.

The 2 women looked at each other delightedly.

Now that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, the 3 of them did not stay any longer and immediately left the Purgatory Mountain Range. They took Xue Long’s flying car and flew toward Luo City.

…

A dozen days later, in the square not far from the west gate of Luo City.

Liu Ming bade farewell to Xue Long and Lan Si and went to the Tong Zhan Pavilion in Little Huan Courtyard.

After a while, he arrived at the Tong Zhan Pavilion.

There were not many people in the hall at the moment. Liu Ming came to the jade disk in the hall with ease.

The missions on the exhibition wall were sorted by reward. On the front position, there was a search mission to find the location of the cold incense whale.

It seemed that no one accepted this mission since the mission was published.

Liu Ming shook his head helplessly and didn’t think much about it. He left the hall and flew in the direction of the cave house.

As a result, as soon as he entered the cave, he didn’t see Qian Rupin greet him. Instead, there was a faint movement in her secret room. There were bursts of strange fluctuations coming from it.

Liu Ming immediately understood what was going on.

Judging from all the signs, it was obvious that the opportunity for Qian Rupin to break through the Crystallization Period was coming!

He immediately retrieved his Divine Thought and added some enchantments around the secret room, so as not to disturb Qian Rupin who was retreating at the moment.

After doing all this, Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his room to sleep.

He had been on a bumpy journey for more than a month. Plus refining the elixirs, his body and mind had been exhausted. He urgently needed rest to recover his stamina.

A night had passed.

The next day, just as it was dawn, when Liu Ming was about to go to the fire room to refine elixir, there was a sudden fluctuation in the enchantment outside the cave house.

“Eh, why is she here!”

After Liu Ming’s Divine Thought swept outside, he frowned.

He walked slowly to the door and waved his sleeve to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a stunning girl in a red dress with fluttering red hair. It was Xue Long.

At this moment, she had changed back to her female attire. Compared with the previous male attire, she had a different charm.

“What is Miss Xue Long here for?” Liu Ming looked behind the woman expressionlessly, and he said calmly after seeing no one else.

“Why, Mr. Liu doesn’t welcome me? Did you forget about the jingang bone tempering pill?” Xue Long said with her hands behind her back.

“Not at all. It’s my honor to have Blood Vine Race’s young master visit my humble house. Please come in.” When Liu Ming heard that it was for the pill refinement, he naturally had no objection. He made an inviting gesture with both hands and said slowly.

“My pleasure.” Xue Long bowed back, swaggered into the lobby, and sat down in front of a round table.

After the woman looked around casually, she swept toward the table in front with one hand. After a bloody light flowed out, a large number of brocade boxes of different colors appeared in an instant. She said to Liu Ming,

“Mr. Liu, these are good materials for refining the jingang bone tempering pills. As long as you can refine the pills we agreed before, I will naturally keep my promise.”
