Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Sheng recognized him as the fellow cultivator from the training ground who was at a similar level to himself and close to the Pure Blood Realm.

"your?"

Is it because you're so interested in luring monsters out to play?

"Yes, I practice a vitality cultivation technique that allows me to enhance my current state by overdrawing my reserves."

"this..."

Wan Sha pointed to the mustache, and the other party snapped to attention.

"We are responsible for selling this three-eyed bear, but the animal's chances of survival are limited because its bile was extracted during the journey."

He glanced at the other person and continued, "So you want me to overdraw my life force just to get a few days of good condition."

"It's probably to cover up the truth and sell it for a better price."

"Unexpectedly, the supplements were effective, but I became too greedy, which led to a big mistake."

Seeing that his inner thoughts had been exposed, the man with the mustache turned pale and his lips trembled.

"My martial arts techniques have limited killing power, and I am unable to deal with this demon in a short time. I thank Lin Su for his help today."

Lin Sheng frowned: "Normally, cultivators are not allowed to do this kind of thing in the camp. I'm afraid Ma Sucheng wouldn't be happy to see this."

Wan Sha lowered his eyes, his tone pleading: "I obtained the inheritance by chance, but I have no academy to rely on. I hope you can understand the hardships of being a wandering cultivator."

As he spoke, Xuan Qi condensed in his hand, the color drained from his face, and a green vine sprouted from his hand, which he handed to Lin Sheng.

"This is Changchunqing. Taking it can reduce injuries. I hope Lin Suling will be satisfied."

Seeing the other person's expression, Lin Sheng sighed and pushed his hand back.

"Fellow Daoist Wan has had a tough time too, there's no need for this."

"Take today as a lesson, act carefully in the future, and avoid causing any more trouble."

Seeing Lin Sheng's reaction, Wan Sha gave him a strange look.

"Alright, I still have a lot of materials to register today, so I'll take my leave now. I'll leave the rest to Fellow Daoist Wan."

Wan Sha did not refuse and began to tidy up the venue, but in his mind he wondered if Lin Suling thought it was too little.

Lin Sheng left, examining the Xuan Qi he had just obtained as he walked. He was very happy because this Xuan Qi was complete, which meant he would have the opportunity to refine another Xuan Qi.

Feeling the complete energy in my mind, it was clearly the same as the Burial Worm, but this one was much more concentrated.

"Could it be due to the level of strength?"

Although the Three-Eyed Bear's recovery was limited, after just exchanging blows, it was discovered that the demon was undoubtedly at the Pure Blood Realm level.

However, the burial worms did not feel this way and were easily killed.

This is the aura of the Pure Blood Realm. Lin Sheng wondered how much improvement he would gain if he used it to refine precious essences.

However, the alluring taste was hard to give up, and Lin Sheng hesitated when he thought of the benefits that the Corruption brought.

Flipping through the records in his hand, he was surprised to see the Three-Eyed Bear, and immediately picked it up to browse.

"The Three-Eyed Bear, with three eyes on its head, possesses the ability to break spells, and its power increases with its strength... Isn't that the one from before?"

Upon closer inspection, Lin Sheng understood why he had been able to kill him so easily.

"So that's how it is. It was restricted and its origin was damaged. No wonder I killed it so easily. Heh, I got a great catch."

This explains why the Qi is so abundant.

"Speaking of breaking the law, it refers to the method you just used to break through Fellow Daoist Wan's vines."

He immediately made a decision to refine this energy into something profound.

Compared to the Qi that could still be obtained, the allure of breaking the spell was clearly greater for Lin Sheng.

"Although its power is limited, we'll find a way to improve it when our strength increases in the future."

Once again, Xuanmiao was chosen, and the Qi was introduced into the Dongxuan Furnace. The patterns on the furnace body reappeared, but then it began to shake violently, as if it had encountered a huge impact.

Lin Sheng felt his mind was foggy and his breathing was disordered. He forced himself to adjust and stabilize himself so that he wouldn't fall off the chair, but he was still panting heavily as he lay on the table.

After a while, the Dongxuan Furnace stopped shaking and gradually stabilized, with the furnace fire burning brightly.

"Hahaha...."

He gasped for breath as he propped himself up from the table, looked at the words he had just written, which were now messed up by sweat, and crumpled them into a ball before throwing them away.

Anyway, I wrote it myself, so I can just write more later.

"Why is the Cavern Furnace...?"

"Is it due to the flow of Qi, or some other reason...?"

His head was throbbing, and even the slightest thought caused him excruciating pain.

"No, we'll have to talk about it later."

Lin Sheng calmed down and decided to recover his condition first. As for the Cave Profound Furnace, he planned to try it out another time.

I have a vague feeling that it might be related to the density of Qi.

After getting into a good state of mind, Lin Sheng officially started working.

Due to my condition, today's tasks were not completed as smoothly as usual, and some remain unfinished.

"Let's leave the rest for tomorrow. Let's go to the dojo to train first."

He picked up the completed part and went outside. After handing over the items, he saw the man with the mustache from earlier that morning lingering at the entrance of the camp, looking hesitant.

Upon seeing Lin Sheng emerge from the camp, he was overjoyed and immediately went to greet him, bowing and saying, "My lord."

Lin Sheng joked, "What are you doing here? Are you here to ask me for compensation for the Three-Eyed Tiger this morning?"

"Oh, sir, how could I dare to have such thoughts? You are my great savior."

Even if I had the guts, I, Hu Er, wouldn't dare say that.

Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Alright, what is it?"

Hu Er chuckled and, after carefully choosing his words, said, "To express my gratitude for your life-saving grace, I would like to invite you to a place."

"A place?"

"Don't worry, sir, it's a good place."

"What a great place..."

He glanced at Hu Er, his eyes holding a subtle expression.

Realizing he had misspoke, Hu Er immediately waved his hand: "No, sir, it's not that kind of place."

"Where is that? You have to tell me before I'll consider whether or not to go."

Hu Er hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's a market set up by our teams that transport demons."

"We will sell some... 'discarded' demon materials. I know that demon materials are very helpful to cultivators."

Therefore, I would like to ask you, sir, to come and contribute to your cultivation in order to repay the debt of saving my life.

Lin Sheng hadn't expected such a place to exist; he guessed that the so-called "abandonment" was just another explanation.

Lin Sheng weighed the pros and cons: "The risk shouldn't be too great, but I really do lack demon materials."

"This should be considered a gray area; there's no harm in going to take a look."

After thinking it through, Lin Sheng said, "Alright, lead the way."

Hu Er was overjoyed and led Lin Sheng to a carriage, where the two boarded.

Inside the carriage, an incense burner was burning, its aroma soothing the mind. Soft cushions were laid out around the carriage, with small candles lit, making it both cozy and warm.

"Boss Hu must be making a lot of money in this line of work."

"Haha, just lucky, just lucky."

After the two were settled, the carriage began its journey towards its destination.

"Was that three-eyed bear from this morning also taken to the market by Boss Hu?"

Hu Er said without any hesitation, "The sir guessed correctly; he did take it."

He then explained with a smile, "Even if it dies, it still has some value; it would be a shame to throw it away."

"If I left it at the hostel, it would just get disposed of, so I took it out."

"Don't worry, Lord Lin. In fact, the imperial court turns a blind eye to such things, since the needs of cultivators cannot be suppressed."

"We must also give those independent cultivators and those with limited financial resources a way to survive; it is better to guide than to block."

"Because the materials there are very affordable, and a lot of them are quite fresh."

Lin Sheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this; he sensed an opportunity to snag a bargain.
