Dashing Student-Chapter 1170: Pure and Unadulterated

"Jue Mingzi, you are truly amazing!"

Song Ya quickly ran to Chen Nan’s side, little stars practically bursting out of her eyes, overflowing with admiration for him.

Chen Nan awkwardly waved his hand; casually handling a cultivator of the same realm was nothing significant.

Seeing the army of resentful souls, abandoned and lost, Chen Nan wielded the Demon Suppressing Sword to continuously devour these souls.

To be precise, it devoured the Blood Evil Qi on the souls, allowing these poor souls to reincarnate.

It took Chen Nan quite a while to complete this grand task.

The rescued Tuo Le came in front of Chen Nan, cupping his hands in gratitude: "Thank you, senior, for saving my life."

His eyes were complex; the last time they met, their realms of cultivation were similar, but now, Chen Nan could kill a Second-Layer Golden Core Realm cultivator with a single blow.

Meanwhile, he was stuck at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Realm, pitiful in comparison.

"No need to thank me; you guys helped take care of Song Ya, it’s me who should be grateful to you."

He hadn’t forgotten Li Nushuang’s last wish before her death, asking him to look after Song Ya. But being pursued himself, he never got the chance to visit the Demon Clan.

"Song Ya is now the Holy Daughter of our clan," Tuo Le hurriedly added, seemingly afraid Chen Nan would whisk her away.

Chen Nan was a bit surprised: "Holy Daughter? I didn’t expect you to be so impressive now."

"Of course, I can’t embarrass you," Song Ya laughed proudly. However, she knew the reason she became the Holy Daughter of the Blood Moon Cat Demon Tribe was because their numbers were scarce.

Despite having only returned for two years, her talent and youth led to her selection as the Holy Daughter for focused nurturing.

But she had another mission: to revitalize the Blood Moon Cat Demon Tribe.

However, Song Ya wouldn’t share this with Chen Nan; as long as he knew she was doing well, that was enough.

After a few exchanges, the trio decided to find a new place to reconvene, returning to Luoshui City to a tavern.

The tavern catered to cultivators, offering fine wines and dishes crafted from pure Spiritual Energy, leaving no impurities.

"Did you sneak out just for the Heavenly Demon Pill?"

After learning of Song Ya’s daring motives, Chen Nan couldn’t help but marvel at the girl’s audacity.

Though news of the Demon Clan had dwindled, humanity’s hostility hadn’t changed; a demon encounter would lead to immediate violence.

There were madmen like that old Taoist, using demon clans for Alchemy.

Mentioning the old Taoist, Chen Nan tossed the horsetail whisk to Song Ya: "This thing’s useless to me, you can have it."

Tuo Le’s eyes widened: "That’s a Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifact, and you’re just giving it away?"

The horsetail whisk’s silver threads could extend for binding or attacking, even the mediocre old Taoist could easily ensnare Tuo Le with it.

But Chen Nan dismissed it entirely.

"It’s nothing special," he said nonchalantly.

This statement further disheartened Tuo Le; their Blood Moon Cat Demon Tribe lived modestly, never handing out a Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifact casually.

"Filthy rich!" Tuo Le cursed inwardly, launching an attack on the table’s fare, intending to squeeze Chen Nan dry.

Chen Nan didn’t mind, now indeed living up to the title "filthy rich," saving his Spirit Stones while acquiring many from Gongsun Fu.

He examined the old Taoist’s storage bag, finding leftover Elixir Pills, and took them out to inspect.

They had blood-colored Pill Patterns, emitting Blood Evil Qi and remaining Demon Qi even while holding them.

Clearly, these were Elixir Pills made from demons by the old Taoist, but they looked odd.

Refining removes impurities, and Blood Evil Qi is an impurity; if unremoved, it degrades quality and efficacy.

Yet the old Taoist kept all the Blood Evil Qi in his pills.

Including the bad with the good, preserving flavor...

"No wonder the old Taoist’s insane; anyone would be consuming these pills. Luckily, demon clans no longer wander; the old Taoist catches few in a year."

"Otherwise, he’d go madder!"

Chen Nan shook his head, putting the pills away.

Nearby, knowing these were made from demons, Song Ya and Tuo Le looked on with dread, feeling a fox’s pang witnessing a rabbit’s death.

Chen Nan saw this and changed the topic: "So, why do you need the Heavenly Illusion Fruit? To let clan kids shapeshift?"

Tuo Le looked hesitant, but Song Ya spilled everything.

"Due to a flaw in our Blood Moon Cat Demon bloodline, we can’t fully shapeshift, leaving ears or a tail."

"This exposes us during outings; I heard an Illusion Demon Pill from the fruit can fix this flaw. That’s why I went to get it."

Touched by Song Ya’s clan devotion, Tuo Le felt moved.

Chen Nan nodded, asking, "Then can you make pills?"

Song Ya and Tuo Le exchanged confused looks, realizing they hadn’t thought of this.

Chen Nan facepalmed; was entrusting Song Ya the Holy Daughter position truly wise for the Blood Moon Cat Demons?

Felt like one day, she’d sell the entire race.

"Fine, I’ll make the pills for you."

"Really?" Song Ya’s large eyes sparkled, unable to hide her delighted smile.

Elders warned her of humans’ dangers, yet Chen Nan was kind!

After dining, Chen Nan guided them to buy the rest of the ingredients, then left the city to a secluded spot to begin Alchemy.

Illusion Demon Pills were Sixth Grade Elixirs, not difficult but unfamiliar territory; Chen Nan found the Pill Recipe, but beyond that was trial and error.

Being a Fifth Grade Alchemist helped, and after two failures, he grasped the pill-making key.

"It has to succeed!"

Song Ya prayed fervently, a demon starting to believe in Buddha.

Tuo Le felt torn, hoping for success yet fearing Chen Nan would become unmatched in Song Ya’s heart.

Suddenly, a rich pill aroma filled their noses.
