I Possessed a Demon Sovereign-Chapter 2: Life Is Like a Show, Everything Up to One’s Acting Skills

To stand at the top of the Divine Province at the age of 20. Wouldn't the efficiency be insufficient if he didn't cultivate diligently and only relied on his exceptional talents? But if he is an ascetic monk, why would there be so many beautiful maids prepared?

Chen Luoyang was feeling nervous like a sacred monk entering the Cave of Silken <anno data-annotation-id="5913070f-e7f1-4724-861c-d90f573af53e">Web</anno>.

One's own problem should only be known by oneself.

Chen Luoyang was injured, and it wasn't convenient for him to conduct sexual acts. However, it was rather painful as there were so many beauties in front of him. It was so "hard" that it was difficult to bear…

Chen Luoyang appeared to be calm as he said casually, "Let's go."

However, he didn't issue any other signals. Everyone in front of him responded respectfully, "Yes, Cult Master."

Chen Luoyang looked at their expressions and nodded silently to himself. It seems like these people don't dare to recklessly assume the Cult Master's thoughts and don't dare to act without orders or act blindly without thinking.

Chen Luoyang was served by the group of maids to change and enter the bath. His body was soaked in a bath that was a few dozen square meters as he leaned by the side of the pool. The jade-like water was infused with all sorts of precious herbs and had nourishing effects.

The maids that were serving him looked to be rather obedient. If he took the initiative, these maids surely wouldn't refuse him. However, he didn't express anything so these maids stood by the side obediently and didn't dare to make any reckless moves

Chen Luoyang seemed as though he was relaxing with his eyes closed, but his thoughts were constantly revolving.

The chief attendant and the maids she supervised had served the Cult Master for many years and were very familiar with the Cult Master's habits.

I am the most vulnerable to these servants. It is fortunate that I am respected as the Cult Master, and I am allowed to do as I please and be temperamental. If I dismiss and denounce all of them, the commotion created might be too excessive. However, if there are some slight changes in details, these people probably wouldn't dare to suspect me.

After a period of time, these new habits would gradually become normal. Chen Luoyang closed his eyes to recuperate.

If I wish to feel comfortable and at ease, I still have to stand higher…

With this thought in mind, Chen Luoyang communicated with the mysterious black pot in his mind.

Is there any method for my body's injuries to recuperate as quickly as possible… Chen Luoyang thought in his mind.

Chen Luoyang used his mind to open the lid of the black pot. It seemed like the blood-red serum in the pot was slightly reduced.

There was a rise of blood-colored mist from the mouth of the pot.

The mist formed a sentence of blood wordings inside Chen Luoyang's mind.

Before Chen Luoyang could see this sentence properly, more blood mist rose up from the pot and formed more words.

[Consume the Creation True Elixir, Heaven Spirit Return Immortal Elixir, Void Spirit Return Treasure Elixir, Revive Divine Elixir.

Or study the Sacred Heart Forbidden Chapter, Sky Reversal Treasure Book, Heaven Dao Medicine Scripture for immediate recovery.]

[Consume the Seven Treasure Heart Nourishing Elixir, Mystic Firm Life Elixir, Qi Return Yang Elixir, Soul Return Golden Elixir, Limit Distress Golden Elixir, Blood Lotus Elixir, Minor Yang Primary Immortal Elixir, Moon Purge Spirit Elixir.

Or study the Cloud Underworld Elixir Book, Life Transfer Scripture, Medicine Practice Record, Mystic Injury Golden Mirror Record, Origin Star Testament to achieve 80% recovery and complete recovery in 10 days.]

[Consume the Great Union Fusion Blood Elixir, Heaven First Elixir, Mystic Yin Nourish Qi Elixir…]

Chen Luoyang was dazzled by all the words, but what was the use for this list?

Is there anything that can allow me to recover directly?

The black pot didn't respond.

Can you give me that so-called Creation True Elixir directly?

There was still no response.

It seems like it can only provide information right now… Chen Luoyang thought to himself. Alright then, give me the formula of the Creation True Elixir. I will ask my subordinates to look for the medicinal ingredients for me to concoct.

This time, the black pot responded.

The blood-red serum in the pot immediately reached the bottom and became completely dry. There wasn't a single drop left!

…However, no blood words appeared.

Chen Luoyang was dumbfounded and only regained his senses after a long time. He nearly wanted to curse out. But soon enough, the blood-red serum reappeared.

Chen Luoyang's heart was slightly stirred. The blood-red serum that reappeared was exactly the same amount before he asked for the Creation True Elixir's formula.

He had obtained the answer for the first question earlier; therefore, the serum used for that didn't get replenished.

This meant that the blood-red serum wasn't going to constantly replenish and wasn't endless. Furthermore, every usage would mean there was less available.

However, the formula for the Creation True Elixir required too much serum, and the black pot didn't have enough right now. Therefore, when the black pot didn't provide the formula, it refunded the serum and didn't use up any.

Chen Luoyang pondered a little before asking in his mind again, How do I obtain more blood-red serum?

The black pot didn't respond.

What is your origin?

There was still no response.

Information regarding this black pot cannot be provided… Chen Luoyang gradually understood. I will have to slowly search for the related information by myself. This black pot might have some other functions.

Chen Luoyang contemplated for a moment before changing his request. What about the formula for the Seven Treasure Heart Nourishing Elixir?

The serum in the pot vanished and replenished again

Great Union Fusion Blood Elixir?

The serum still wasn't enough.

Chen Luoyang frowned.

It was fortunate that the previous blood words didn't have to be intentionally remembered and would always remain in his memory.

He lowered his standard again. Ten Revolution Primary Elixir?

The blood-red serum reduced by a portion in the pot. The pot emitted a blood-red mist that quickly formed a sentence of blood words.

[Ten Revolution Primary Elixir:

With further recuperation after consumption, full recovery will be achieved after 50 days. The main ingredients required are the Scarce Moon Immortal Milk, Desolate Fantasy Herb, Motionless Treasure Orchid, Dragon Song Silk. The supporting ingredients for post-concoction are the Underworld Snake Gall, Heaven Net Ginseng, Sky Rainbow Turkey Tail, Dragon Tumor, Leopard Spine Powder…]

Each medicinal ingredient's method of usage and dosage, and the concoction steps were all stated clearly.

Chen Luoyang let out a long breath.

The words stated that this body had already consumed the Demon Cult's recuperation panacea, but it would need around a hundred days before reaching full recovery.

Different recuperation panacea might conflict with one another and must not be used on top of one another blindly. Using this basis, the black pot had already provided the fastest recovery method for the current situation.

It reduced the overall duration by half.

It still requires 50 days to recover, and the formula requirements are rather long. I need to think of another solution.

After the bath, the maids helped Chen Luoyang to change his clothes. He then waved his hand to dismiss them.

He sat in the quiet room's chair and rested while tasting the tea. His thoughts communicated with the mysterious black pot again.

Is there a faster method of recovery to work in unison with the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir?

Blood words appeared above the pot's mouth.

[Obtain assistance from a practitioner of the Clear Sky Divine Sword to eliminate the remaining Clear Sky sword qi inside the body. With the medicinal effects of the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir, full recovery would be achieved after 30 days.]

The recuperation period was shrunk down to 30 days. It was rather significant.

However, Chen Luoyang's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

According to the words, his injury was caused by the Clear Sky Divine Sword.

It was correct to look for the person that caused the trouble, but the problem was that the Clear Sky Divine Sword was the absolute martial art of the Sword Pavilion Lord.

He could send one of his subordinates to learn the martial art secretly from the Sword Pavilion Lord. Even if the Sword Pavilion Lord was willing to accept a new disciple, would it be possible to learn it within a few dozen days?

Just as Chen Luoyang was contemplating, that jade pendant suddenly rang by itself again. This time, it rang twice.

When Chen Luoyang heard the ringing, he had an additional consideration. Earlier on, when the chief attendant sought for approval, it only rang once. Right now, it rang twice… Could it be someone else?

This time, he had also flicked the jade pendant twice. Soon enough, his door opened, and a gray-clothed elder appeared.

"This old servant pays his respect to the Cult Master."

He was part of the people that were kneeling outside the door, and he seemed to be the leader. Just like before, the gray-clothed elder bowed respectfully.

Chen Luoyang used an indifferent and imposing tone to ask, "What is the matter?"

The gray-clothed elder lowered his head and replied softly, "Reporting to Cult Master. The shrine sent a letter. This old servant originally didn't dare to disturb you, but before you went into seclusion previously, you instructed me to report to you as soon as the shrine sends a letter."

Chen Luoyang nodded. "Present it to me."

The gray-clothed elder handed over a blue cylinder. Subsequently, Chen Luoyang took out the letter and read the contents.

"There are rumors circulating in the cult that the Cult Master has suffered injuries during the battle with the Sword Pavilion Lord. The elder faction is becoming restless because of this. This subordinate will do his best to track down the source of the rumors."

Chen Luoyang muttered, "According to the information that the black pot provided, the original owner of the body ascended his position as the youngest Cult Master in the history of the Demon Cult. He used his unrivaled martial strength to convince the masses."

From the information revealed after he ascended to the Cult Master position, it seems like he promoted quite a lot of new members. As such, I can deduce that the elders of the cult had their status and benefits affected.

The current Demon Cult exists with a conflict between the elder faction and the young-generation faction. The Cult Master's words had enormous weight previously, but now, he might be facing backlash from the elder faction.

Now that the Cult Master was injured and had a decline in strength, it was hard to prevent the people from becoming restless.

Chen Luoyang felt a headache, but his face remained nonchalant as he kept the letter.

"Is there any new activity in the Grand Divine Province during my three days of seclusion?" 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡

The gray-clothed elder replied respectfully, "Reporting to Cult Master. The Grand Divine Province has been eulogizing the world-shaking battle between Master and the Sword Sovereign. Everyone is in reverence of your martial prowess.

"According to the reports from the cult members in all parts of the province, that group of minor characters that oppose our sacred cult has been constantly scouting for information about the Master and the Sword Sovereign. However, they don't dare to make any reckless moves."

Chen Luoyang nodded without commenting and changed the subject. "Issue the command to search for these things for This Seat."

He passed the names of the Scarce Moon Immortal Milk, Desolate Fantasy Herb, and other ingredients to the gray-clothed elder. Apart from that, he had added many other things so that others wouldn't be able to find out his true objective.

The gray-clothed elder replied respectfully after listening, "This old servant will carry out the order immediately and will not disappoint Cult Master."

The elder didn't stand up immediately, instead, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Cult Master, Young Lady Qingqing requested an audience. What do you…?"

Young Lady Qingqing? Who the hell is that again?! Chen Luoyang roared in his heart.
