Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

The noodle shop at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain was unusual today. The atmosphere inside was somber, and the usual boastful words that everyone had uttered before heading up the mountain were nowhere to be heard.

Because there were three well-equipped people quietly eating inside the shop, everyone glanced over discreetly and whispered among themselves.

It was Tang Wenlong, Cao Xingyi, and Lin Sheng.

"Boss, check please."

After finishing his meal, Tang Wenlong called over the waiter who had spoken with Lin Sheng earlier and slapped the silver into his hand.

The man, holding the silver, said, "Sir, this is too much silver. This young man gave us a lot before, and we still haven't used it all."

The waiter looked at Lin Sheng and said apologetically.

"I'm not telling you to take it for free."

"Make us a nice meal tonight; the three of us need to recover properly after coming down the mountain today."

"It's a time to celebrate and also to rest; the rest of the money is yours."

The silver given by Tang Wenlong was a heavy silver ingot, which was quite a lot in itself. Even after preparing various good dishes and wines, there would still be a lot left over.

The man was naturally happy to do this kind of business, so he immediately agreed.

The three then took their belongings and headed towards Wuzhi Mountain, their figures quickly disappearing into the dense forest.

Only after the three figures had completely disappeared did the others in the store dare to speak loudly; the heavy atmosphere just now was truly unpleasant.

"You scared me to death! Did you see those three? They just stick their stuff out like that."

"That big guy in the very center is terrifying. When he sits there, I feel like he could eat the whole table."

"Boss Zheng, who are these people you know? Tell us what's going on?"

Zheng Ke simply collected the three people's dishes and shrugged.

"His attire clearly identifies him as a cultivator. He's only eaten two meals at my place; how would I know him?"

Zheng Ke had spoken with Lin Sheng before and knew what he had done. Now that he saw him again, he could tell what Lin Sheng wanted just by looking at him. However, he didn't want to say anything. Since Lin Sheng only asked him to cook, he would just cook well.

His understanding of survival was to simply do his job diligently and peacefully.

......

Tang Wenlong walked at the front, looking at the thin mist in front of him. With a sudden wave of his thick arm, his fan-like iron palm dispersed the large swirling mist, revealing a clear path ahead.

"I observed that Vajra of the Crystal Mountain for a long time. It rarely moved, so I was able to roughly determine its location."

"Lin Sheng, come and take a look too, is this the direction?"

Following the direction Tang Wenlong pointed, Lin Sheng looked around and found that the surrounding environment was very similar to when he first met Tang Wenlong.

"Yes, Mr. Tang, that's roughly the direction."

"I couldn't assess that guy's strength before, but now that so much time has passed, I wonder if that beast has grown stronger."

"Don't worry, no matter how much he improves, he won't exceed the fourth realm. He'll just be the same strength as me."

"As long as no one is stronger than me, this operation will surely succeed."

Seeing that Tang Wenlong was so confident, Lin Sheng felt relieved.

It should be noted that this small team of three consists of one person at the peak of the Jade Life Realm, one at the peak of the Pure Blood Realm, and one at the early stage of the Pure Blood Realm.

In this land of Wuzhi Mountain, the other beings should regard them as demons.

"Walk!"

At Tang Wenlong's command, the three of them advanced at top speed and soon arrived at a high cliff. Looking down, the sunlight pierced through the thin mist, shimmering with points of light.

"See those flashes? That's the light from the crystal on that beast's body."

"I will be fighting him next, which will inevitably attract the attention of other demons or monsters. You need to stop those guys."

"I'm going to test my methods properly; I won't let that beast get away."

As Tang Wenlong finished speaking, two enormous brass hammers appeared in his hands. One was engraved with a tiger descending a mountain, and the other with a dragon emerging from the sea. Just looking at them, one could feel their extraordinary aura.

Cao Xingyi also summoned his musket and looked at Tang Wenlong: "Mr. Tang, where do you intend to fight?"

"He's nearby. I'll bring him up. You two just need to protect him for me."

Then Tang Wenlong jumped into the air, his round hammer crackling with white lightning, and swung it down with a roar.

Thick, white bolts of lightning roared down, shattering the white mist below and striking the crystal-clear objects directly.

Immediately following was a tremendous roar from the bottom of the valley, filled with pain and screams.

With a loud bang, a massive figure flew into the air, and Lin Sheng finally saw the full appearance of the Vajra of Liuli Mountain.

Its appearance is very similar to King Kong in the movie, but the difference is that its body is covered with glass crystals of different sizes. At the same time, the glass crystals on its arms, back and other parts protrude as if they are growing out of its skin. There is also a huge four-cornered glass crystal in the center of its chest, as if it were inlaid.

However, many of the crystals on his body were broken by the attack of the white lightning.

Based solely on its size and appearance, Lin Sheng recognized its strength.

Just as the Vajra of Liuli Mountain was about to smash its fist at the three of them, Tang Wenlong swung his hammer and struck back!

The powerful force sent the opponent flying, crashing heavily into the distant woods.

Bang dong!

Large clouds of dust rose in the forest, and many trees were broken.

Just as Vajra of Liuli Mountain was about to get up, he saw the inconspicuous Tang Wenlong directly above him, swinging down a giant hammer wrapped in white lightning.

"Humans!!"

The Vajra of Liuli Mountain spoke loudly and honestly, his hands covered in crystals, as he struck the giant hammer heavily.

Lin Sheng, who landed not far away with Cao Xing, asked, "This beast can speak human language now?"

"Your spirituality is already that high?"

"If a demon can cultivate to the second realm, it will have the ability to speak human language, but its speech will not be fluent, and its thinking and reaction will still be quite lacking."

"It all depends on spirituality. Those great demons, based on the purity of their bloodline, can produce offspring with far more spirituality than ordinary demons. Although they are not as spiritual as humans, they have little problem speaking and thinking."

"Junior brother, you take charge of the back, and I'll take charge of the front."

"No problem, senior brother."

After Cao Xing finished giving his instructions, he transformed into a flame and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Lin Sheng drew his Hunting Blade, channeled his profound energy, and awaited the next demons.

The range of his divine sense in the Pure Blood Realm is limited, and coupled with the perennial thin fog on Mist Branch Mountain, his range can only extend to within a thousand steps of himself.

There is movement!

Lin Sheng hurled a sharp, thin-handled dart, piercing through the crimson python that had just emerged from the grass with lightning speed.

The python convulsed in pain, and its crimson scales gradually turned black and spread.

Finally, his body collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud, unable to rise again.

[Obtain the complete Qi of the Xiakou Serpent, which can be refined into a rare/mysterious essence.]

[Refine or not?]

Zhenyuan!

Lin Sheng did not hesitate to choose to refine the precious essence. He was going to fight a protracted war, and the precious essence that could improve and restore him was the most suitable thing for him at the moment.

Moreover, he didn't want to waste the Dongxuan Furnace's refining process on these ordinary demons. Based on the characteristics of the demons, he could guess what mysteries they might contain, and he wouldn't be able to use them at all.

He manipulated the Cave Mystic Furnace, making the refining process faster. The flames inside the furnace in his mind were much larger than before, and at the same time, his body felt an extra burden.

He can now control the temperature of the Cave Mystic Furnace, but the cost is borne by him. The more he can withstand it, the more he can improve.

Just then, Lin Sheng sensed that three entities were rushing towards him from three directions.
