Chapter 150: Chapter 148 Pure Demon Pill
When the Soul-devouring Demon brought out his treasure, Master Du Ye, Old Monster Jinxia, and the others all had a look of seriousness.
Soul-locking Bell, a Mid Grade Third-tier Magical Treasure, the Lifebound Magical Treasure of the Soul-devouring Demon.
It was said that the Soul-locking Bell suppressed countless souls, most of which belonged to the souls of Righteous Cultivators!
Even some of the people familiar to Master Du Ye and Old Monster Jinxia had their souls suppressed within it.
“Go!”
The Soul-devouring Demon abruptly pushed out with his five fingers, and the Soul-locking Bell transformed into a streak of blood-colored light that descended from the sky, instantly splitting into dozens of blood-colored bells surrounding the Fire Mole Cricket.
...
“Dang~~~”
Amidst the loud ringing, the Fire Mole Cricket that had just broken through the ground trembled in spirit, frozen in place without being able to move.
“Fellow Daoists, aren’t you going to make your move?”
The Soul-devouring Demon said with a faint smile.
Old Monster Jinxia immediately pushed with both hands, and instantly his entire body burst into green light.
Strands of green text ascended, intertwining like hundreds of Spirit Scrolls spinning together, quickly converging into an offensive and defensive Magical Treasure.
Eight Diagrams Green Scroll, a Top-grade Third-tier Magical Treasure!
During the fierce battle between Righteous and Demons, Old Monster Jinxia actually survived, relying on this offensive and defensive Eight Diagrams Green Scroll.
Strands of scroll fragments broke through the air, swiftly breaking through the Fire Mole Cricket’s shell, causing blood to splatter in all directions.
At this moment, Master Du Ye finally took action.
“Sword out!”
From his raised hand, one violet and one red, two streaks of rainbow light burst from within his body, transforming into two Flying Swords that tore through the air, bringing thunder and flames, and instantly pierced through the Fire Mole Cricket’s body!
Thunderfire Dual Swords, a Lower Grade Third-tier Magical Treasure, one of Master Du Ye’s Life-bound Techniques!
…
‘Whoa…’
Ning Daoran was dumbfounded. These Golden Core old monsters truly lived up to their reputation, killing a Third-tier Early-stage Demon Beast in just one encounter!
He glanced at the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist.
Little Blackie was far less powerful than a Third-tier Early-stage Demon Beast, meaning if it had been Little Blackie coming out, it might not have lasted three moves before being slain!
It was terrifying to that extent!
“Ssss~~~”
In mid-air, the Fire Mole Cricket let out a long hiss, its brain pierced by the Thunderfire Dual Swords, it died on the spot, its body limply crashing down.
“Come!”
After Master Du Ye retrieved the Thunderfire Dual Swords, he reached out with a gesture, and the head of the Fire Mole Cricket buzzed, and quickly, a demon core the size of a chickpea, fiery red in color, shot through the air, landing in Master Du Ye’s hand.
‘Eh?’
Ning Daoran frowned, he had seen a Demon Core from his eldest senior sister, and the one before his eyes seemed somewhat different.
This Fire Mole Cricket’s Demon Core had not much intermingled Demon Qi around it; on the contrary, upon leaving the Fire Mole Cricket’s body, the core showed a pure form of Essence Qi without contamination by Demon Qi.
“This… this…”
Old Monster Jinxia was amazed, “Is this actually a Pure Demon Pill?”
“Indeed.”
The Soul-devouring Demon narrowed his eyes: “It is a Pure Demon Pill. Fellow Daoist Du Ye, since this Fire Mole Cricket was slain by our combined efforts, should this Pure Demon Pill not be…?”
Ning Daoran frowned, not expecting the dispute to arise so quickly.
Without even entering the Secret Realm, these Golden Core cultivators already faced a crucial conflict of interest!
Generally, once a Demon Beast reaches the Third-tier, it gains the ability to transform, and with transformation, the demon core in its body begins to evolve, ultimately becoming the legendary Demon Pill.
Most Demon Pills are just that, used for Alchemy, absorbing Essence Qi, and so on.
However, each Third-tier Demon Beast’s resulting Demon Pill is different, and among them, there is an extremely low chance of forming the legendary Pure Demon Pill.
Such a Demon Pill, uncontaminated by Demon Qi and made purely from the condensed Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth, is a treasure coveted by Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators!
As is well known, Foundation Establishment Cultivators are as common as carp crossing the river, but those who reach Core Formation are few and far between.
Most Foundation Establishment cultivators die in the Early or Mid-stage, which is an unavoidable fact.
A small portion of cultivators with exceptional Spirit Roots and talents may reach the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, but reaching there does not guarantee Core Formation.
The Golden Core Stage is as difficult as climbing to the heavens for most Foundation Establishment cultivators and remains an illusion in water.
Among those who reach Late-stage Foundation Establishment, probably fewer than one in ten actually achieve Core Formation!
Thus, a large number of those in Late-stage Foundation Establishment invariably die of old age, cursing the heavens in vain.
However, there is another possibility for those in Late-stage Foundation Establishment: consuming a Pure Demon Pill. With the Pure Demon Pill as a catalyst, they can deceive the heavens and form a “False Core.”
This is the legendary Fake Pill Cultivator.
With a Pure Demon Pill to form a False Core, a cultivator can have the same lifespan upper limit of five hundred years as a Golden Core Stage practitioner, and their Mana and Cultivation only slightly less than that of a true Golden Core cultivator.
But there is a huge limitation: once one becomes a Fake Pill Cultivator, the path to higher levels is completely closed off.
In this life, one can at most reach Late Stage Golden Core, with no possibility of Nascent Soul formation.
However, for the majority of forces in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, the importance of a Golden Core Cultivator is obvious, even a Fake Pill cultivator can support the rise of a Golden Core family!
A single Pure Demon Pill thus equals the rise of a new emerging Second-class Sect!
…
At this moment, not just Old Monster Jinxia and Lay Practitioner Bai Ming, but even the Soul-devouring Demon also coveted this Pure Demon Pill.
Which Golden Core Great Cultivator does not have disciples or descendants? For those descendants who cannot form a Core and have their Livespan running out, obtaining a Pure Demon Pill to form a False Core would be like undergoing a rebirth from Nirvana!
“Hmph~~”
Holding the Pure Demon Pill, Master Du Ye laughed, “Soul-devouring Demon, the final strike on this Fire Mole Cricket was killed by my Thunderfire Dual Swords. Logically, this Pure Demon Pill should belong to me, but…”
He pondered for a moment and then said, “Since we have decided to work together to explore the Secret Realm, I would naturally not be the one to monopolize the prize. I will take this Demon Pill, but will provide some compensation to every one of you. What do you think?”

“Oh?”
The Soul-devouring Demon said with a faint smile, “That depends on how generous Old Ghost Du Ye is in his offer. If it’s a meager gift to appease us, I will not accept.”
“Rest assured.”
Master Du Ye patted his storage bag, and immediately, streaks of light flew out. There were spiritual artifacts as well as various types of spiritual medicines and similar items.
“Fellow Daoists, each of you may pick one item from these treasures,” he said. “Remember, only one item. These are the savings I have accumulated over many years, and I cannot afford to have them all taken in one fell swoop.”
“Amazing!”
The Soul-devouring Demon couldn’t help but laugh and said, “I’ll take that Dust-falling Grass.”
Master Du Ye gestured, and a Dust-falling Grass of over ten thousand years flew toward the Soul-devouring Demon.
In reality, Master Du Ye still had several Dust-falling Grasses but he had not taken them all out; the Dust-falling Grass was specifically to deal with the troublesome character that was the Soul-devouring Demon.
Subsequently, Old Monster Jinxia and Lay Practitioner Bai Ming each took away a top-grade spiritual tool.
When it was Immortal Ning Yu and the others’ turn, the treasures were not as extraordinary. Everyone took away some spirit grass, elixir pills, and mid-grade spiritual artifacts.
Ning Daoran was last in line. He gave a slight salute and said, “Predecessor Du Ye, just give those two Guiyuan Pills to me.”
“Very well!”
Master Du Ye cheerfully handed over the Guiyuan Pills.
…
Then, Master Du Ye patted his storage bag again, and also put the body of the Fire Mole Cricket into his storage bag.
He had lost many treasures and spiritual medicines, suffering heavy losses, so if he didn’t compensate himself a little, he inevitably felt his mind wouldn’t be at ease.
No one said anything about this.
About two hours later.
A rolling sound came again. Up ahead, the lush trees suddenly shivered and were then twisted apart, shattered by an invisible force.
Quickly, the entrance to a secret realm, bound by prohibitions, appeared before them.
“The secret realm has opened.”
The Soul-devouring Demon said in a deep voice, “Let us all use our mana together, forcibly break the prohibitions of the secret realm. Quickly!”
Instantly, everyone brought forth their mana.
Ning Daoran raised his hand and shot out a stream of mana roughly equivalent to the Evergreen Technique’s Fifth Layer, which was quite reasonable for a Wood Attribute Spirit Root cultivator of his level.
The mana of the others was much denser than Ning Daoran’s!
About four hours later.
Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the prohibitions at the secret realm’s entrance crumbled, and a gap had appeared.
“Go!”
The Soul-devouring Demon leapt forward, turning into a streak of blood-colored rainbow light to lead the way.
Following him were Zhang Nan and the Broken Eyebrow Man, both tunneling into the secret realm.
Next were the three from the Jiuyun Sect.
“Jianjia, my young friend.”
Old Monster Jinxia transmitted a message: “Stay close. Priority is to protect yourself.”
With that said, he crossed his hands behind his back and, cloak billowing, flew into the secret realm.
Ning Daoran was somewhat stunned.
Had he not been aware of Old Monster Jinxia’s feigned death during the attack on the Five Saints Sect, his subsequent betrayal of the Sea Burning Sect, which led to the sect’s destruction, he truly would have believed that Old Monster Jinxia was a kind and benevolent senior expert.
“Jianjia, my young friend, let’s go!”
Lay Practitioner Bai Ming also entered the secret realm with hands clasped behind.
Ning Daoran immediately transformed into a streak of tunneling light, entering the secret realm last.
…
“Whoosh~~~”
A cold wind hit him in the face.
The chill inside the Feixing Secret Realm was far beyond what the outside world could compare to.
Ahead, the Soul-devouring Demon and Master Du Ye stood on an icy dark stone path, scanning everything around them with their Divine Sense.
Ning Daoran looked up to see.
In the sky, “swish swish swish,” there were streaks of shooting stars passing by, but they did not quite look like shooting stars; rather, they seemed like some kind of cold rule in place.
“Be cautious.”
The Soul-devouring Demon warned: “One must not fly with tunneling light in the Feixing Secret Realm. Random shooting star fissures appear in the air here, and such spatial rule killing arrays cannot be withstood even by Golden Core cultivators.”
Immortal Ning Yu, Zhang Nan, and the others all nodded their heads in agreement.
Everyone slowly moved forward.
Ning Daoran spread out his Divine Sense and found that the group was on top of an icy dark bridge, below which was a bottomless abyss, what lay at its depths was unknown.
The Nascent Soul Great Cultivator who created the Feixing Secret Realm truly possessed sky-reaching abilities!
…
“Hum~~~”
Suddenly, the giant rock beneath their feet trembled violently, following which it started to sink swiftly.
“Be careful, it’s some kind of trap in the secret realm!”
Master Du Ye shouted, “Don’t panic!”
Ning Daoran felt his body sink and circulated his Evergreen Technique to tightly adhere to the stone slab beneath his feet.
However, someone panicked and reflexively rose into the air – it was Zhang Nan, the Late-stage Demon Cultivator during Foundation Establishment.
“This is bad, Ancestor, save me!”
In the air, a streak of blood-colored light flashed as the shooting star fissures erupted!
“Pfff~~~”
Just as Zhang Nan felt the breath of the rules changing before his death, he didn’t have any time to react, and his body was instantly turned into dozens of severed limbs and fragments, then in the space fissure, he turned into a mist of mangled flesh and blood!
…
Old Monster Jinxia turned back to look and saw Ning Daoran unscathed, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
