Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Inside the cabin.

Lin Sheng sensed the abundant energy swirling around the Cave Mystic Furnace and mentally prepared himself.

This energy came from Vajra of the Crystal Mountain, and its abundance was something he had never seen before.

"I wonder what kind of situation I will experience with the Vajra of the Lapis Lazuli Mountain in the Four Realms."

"The previous Three-Eyed Bear was only at the Pure Blood Realm."

With a thought, Lin Sheng looked at the current information of the Cave Profound Furnace again.

【Dingli: Pure Blood Realm】

Through numerous experiments, Lin Sheng realized that this "Ding Li" referred to the refining capacity of the Dongxuan Furnace, but not the upper limit of the Dongxuan Furnace's refining capacity; rather, it was the upper limit that Lin Sheng himself could handle.

That is, for any demon in the Pure Blood Realm, the Cave Profound Furnace can reduce or even bear the cost of refining it, so as not to affect Lin Sheng too much.

However, things might change once you exceed that level. The Cave Mystic Furnace can also be used for forging, but Lin Sheng will have to bear the consequences. The consequences of exceeding that level are quite severe.

As his strength increases, so does his power, but Lin Sheng can't wait until then; he has already made preparations.

He took out the Solidifying Pulse Pill he had received during the previous investiture ceremony and swallowed it, immediately feeling a solidifying sensation within his body.

This is a pill to enhance one's condition, which is especially suitable for the current situation.

"Just insert the Three-Eyed Bear Qi into it as before, and the furnace will take care of the rest."

He suddenly remembered the dragon he had seen in his dream that flew away from the Cavern Furnace.

"No, this isn't a real dragon refining process; it's just a bigger monkey at best."

The Cave Mystery Furnace opened, and the Vajra Qi of Liuli Mountain entered without any hindrance. The furnace fire began to burn, and the Qi began to be slowly refined by the flames.

But immediately the Cave Profound Furnace began to tremble, the entire furnace shaking even more violently than when it was refining the Three-Eyed Bear. The huge sound of the shaking exploded in Lin Sheng's mind like thunder.

Vibrations from the inside out and tangible thunderclaps repeatedly assaulted Lin Sheng's body and consciousness.

"Damn it!!"

Amidst intense angina and stabbing pain throughout his body, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, feeling as if something was constantly crushing his head.

Bloody, torn wounds appeared all over his body, the horrifying gashes even extending to his neck, revealing the scarlet flesh beneath his skin.

In a daze, he heard the roar of the Vajra of Liuli Mountain, and could only vaguely know that the Cave Mystery Furnace was still running and still vibrating.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to circulate his profound energy to recover. The Meridian Strengthening Pills were scattered on the ground, and he licked them in one by one with his tongue to absorb them.

After an unknown period of time, the Cave Mystery Furnace slowly came to a stop, and the fire slowly began to burn.

Lin Sheng was already soaked in sweat, his vision blurred, and he fainted.

When I woke up again, the first rays of the sun were gradually rising on the horizon.

He propped himself up, but the stinging pain all over his body caused him to fall to the ground again, splashing dust all over himself.

My mind was a complete mess, all muddled and confused.

"It hurts so much, I can't get up at all, and my mind is foggy."

"Did I almost die?"

He trembled as he took out the Zhengqing Pill and the Gumai Pill, and swallowed them while lying down, waiting for the pills to take effect.

A gentle warmth spread through his body, like a long-dry riverbed finally receiving moisture, and Lin Sheng felt his strength return.

Only then did he stand up and look at himself in the mirror.

There are indeed obvious lacerations on the arms, chest, and neck, but these wounds have now turned into scabs.

"I'm really making myself all hurt."

"If my master and senior brothers saw this, they would definitely ask me what I did."

At the same time, checking his internal condition gave him a fright.

Even with the recovery from the pills, his profound qi was still in a terrible state, his meridians were injured to varying degrees, and his consciousness was severely fragmented, not to mention other minor problems.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Sheng was given a second chance at life, because if things had been slightly more serious, his path of cultivation would have turned from a bright road into a precipice.

He broke out in a cold sweat and was terrified.

"You survived! Awesome!"

Lin Sheng vowed that unless he was fully prepared, he would never refine any energy that exceeded the limits of the Dingli realm again; it didn't matter where it was stored.

The Zhengqing Pill repairs the mind and restores the body's condition; the Gumai Pill regulates the body and balances the breath.

In addition, Lin Sheng also took some of the precious essence that he had not yet absorbed when he killed the demons and stewed it for himself.

After a series of procedures, his health showed a visible improvement.

"These next few days will be focused on recovery; we can't afford to do anything reckless."

"But it can be considered a success; the risks were high, but the rewards were also great."

Recalling the previous performance of the Vajra of Liuli Mountain, Lin Sheng asked with some anticipation, "What will this mysterious event be like?"

"Is it the crystalline light that can turn the surroundings into crystal, or the ability to condense and control crystals, or the provision of continuous life force?"

The Vajra of Liuli Mountain displayed such comprehensive abilities in this battle that Lin Sheng felt even more excited than when he was refining the profound mysteries before.

"Never mind, no rush, let's go to Liuyun Pavilion first."

He changed into clothes that could cover his scars and went out.

They bumped into Aunt Zhao, who was with her child.

As soon as the other person saw him, they hurriedly asked, "Xiao Sheng, what are you doing on this mountain lately? I've seen people patrolling all the time, and they even told us not to go up the mountain anymore."

"I asked several people, and they all said not to ask. You can tell the old lady, and she promises not to tell anyone else."

"It's nothing, Aunt Zhao. I've heard you all talking about the risks on the mountain lately, so I found a few cultivators to go up the mountain and take a look."

"Let's clean it up properly, just like cleaning a house, so that everyone can go up the mountain more easily in the future."

Lin Sheng, of course, would not tell Aunt Zhao the truth, so he simplified the content of sealing the mountain and eliminating demons into a "safe and warm" version and told her about it.

Should I be considered to be lying about what I'm doing?

Aunt Zhao nodded happily: "Good, good, good, it should have been done a long time ago, everyone has been complaining about it lately."

"Auntie, please don't tell anyone. This matter must be kept secret."

"What kind of person do you think this old lady is? No, she's leaving now. Please be careful when you're cleaning up."

After their conversation, they happily left with the boy, who waved goodbye to Lin Sheng.

Watching Aunt Zhao's figure, Lin Sheng was not worried about the matter being leaked.

On the one hand, he knew that Aunt Zhao was sensible and that even if she told him, at most only Aunt Zhao and her family would know.

On the other hand, this matter itself cannot be kept secret for long; the operation will officially begin in a few days. People have eyes; even if you don't say anything, they will find out.

He stopped dwelling on the matter and turned to stride towards Liuyun Pavilion.

Upon arriving at Liuyun Pavilion, they saw Master Su Ren standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his fists clenched tightly, and a worried expression on his face.

Lin Sheng quietly approached him: "What's wrong, Master?"

"Your senior brother is breaking through to the Jade Life Realm."

"Senior brother has broken through!"

"That's right, but we'll have to wait and see the final result to know for sure."

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the secret room surged, and everyone outside could feel the sudden surge of energy.

Then his breathing gradually subsided and returned to calm.

Clang.

Lin Sheng and Su Ren both heard the sound of the stone door to the secret chamber being opened.

The two eagerly awaited their turn.
