Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 98 Desperate Situation

Back in the cave.

After Luo Qingchen changed the poison, she lit a fire again to boil the medicine, preparing for the medicinal bath.

This time, he dripped 15 drops of gilded blood directly.

The blood fell into the medicinal liquid and instantly reacted with the magic stone.

"Gurgle————"

The medicine seemed to suddenly boil.

A surge of powerful energy immediately welled up from the bottom of the bucket!

Then, they began to rush in from his pores.

He quickly absorbed all the medicinal power.

Then, I began to meditate and refine my essence.

Five days later.

The medicinal energy absorbed into the body was finally fully refined.

At this moment, the cultivation progress within his body has increased from 1850/2000 last time to 1950/2000 now!

Only 50 left!

For the next medicinal bath, he decided to increase the amount of gilded blood to 20 drops.

In the final sprint, it is essential to accumulate enough energy and ideally achieve a breakthrough in one go.

Only one step away from the Spirit Nourishing Realm!

There were still 40 drops of gilded blood left in his body, which was more than enough.

And today, he should go to the Demon Prison to drink blood.

I took a shower and changed my clothes.

He took a feather from the venom.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Dong's voice suddenly came from outside: "Junior Brother Luo, are you in your cave? Come out for a moment."

"boom----"

Luo Qingchen opened the cave door and went out.

There were two people standing outside.

One of them was Zhang Dong, who was heavily pregnant, and the other was a tall and thin young man.

Zhang Dong smiled and said, "Junior Brother Luo, this is Senior Brother Han Feng from our Black Phoenix Peak. He recently broke through to the Nourishing Spirit Realm, and coincidentally, he drew your name in the lottery. He's here today to ask you for his blood."

Han Feng cupped his hands in apology, saying, "Junior Brother Luo, I'm sorry. I heard you just arrived, and I didn't want to trouble you, but my medicine surrogate suddenly fell ill and died a couple of days ago. I can't find a new medicine surrogate for the time being, and I also need to cultivate, so—I can only trouble you."

Luo Qingchen didn't say much, but returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "It's my pleasure."

He was naturally aware of this rule.

The disciples in the Blood Exchange Realm were to provide blood for cultivation to the disciples in the Spirit Nourishing Realm, but unexpectedly, the selection was done by drawing lots.

He stepped forward and offered his arm.

Han Feng, still looking apologetic, said, "Junior Brother Luo, how about this? I'll use your blood today, and once I find the medicine man again, you can go to my medicine man and get a bowl of it."

Luo Qingchen said, "Senior Brother Han, you're too kind."

Han Feng sighed, took out a dagger and a blood bowl, and said, "I also came from an ordinary person, and I know how precious blood is. If I hadn't had no other choice, I wouldn't have come to take Junior Brother Luo's blood and delay his cultivation."

As he spoke, he sighed helplessly again and began to carefully draw blood.

Seeing the bright red blood flowing from the wound, Luo Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the bowl was filled with blood.

Han Feng apologized again, his face full of remorse: "Junior Brother Luo, I'm really sorry."

Luo Qingchen silently bandaged her wound, her face slightly pale.

After Han Feng left with the blood, Zhang Dongfang whispered, "Junior Brother Luo, I heard you signed off on the soul, the cave dwelling, and the medicine man to Senior Sister Qiu?"

Luo Qingchen said, "She's afraid I'll suddenly die in the Demon Prison."

Zhang Dong couldn't help but sigh, glanced at his pale face, shook his head, and didn't dare to say anything more, saying, "Junior Brother Luo, you just finished drawing blood, go back and get some rest."

After saying that, he sighed and left.

"Heal!"

After he walked away, Luo Qingchen immediately replenished the blood in her first health bar.

That senior student, Han, took 30% of his blood.

With just a drop of gilded blood, the 30% of blood that had been taken away was immediately restored.

The dizziness I felt earlier vanished in an instant.

At this time, it is essential to maintain your body at its peak condition.

Without giving it any further thought, he left Black Phoenix Peak and headed towards the Demon Prison.

He was somewhat worried.

It's unknown what impact Yao Yu's death will have on that prison or on him.

Hopefully, his job will remain unchanged.

They soon arrived underground.

As he passed by the stone house, Uncle Wu glanced up at him and said, "We've hired a new jailer, Wei Liang from Hundred Corpse Peak. Go and get to know him."

"Yes, Senior Uncle."

Luo Qingchen respectfully agreed and walked forward.

Hundred Corpse Peak?

The mountain where Zhang Duanyang and his three companions were located.

Soon, he arrived at the iron fence.

Behind the table sat a thin young man dressed in a black robe, looking down at a list.

Luo Qingchen stepped forward and cupped her hands, saying, "Luo Qingchen of Black Phoenix Peak greets Senior Brother Wei."

Wei Liang looked up, stared at him for a few moments, his face unreadable, and said, "You're Junior Brother Luo, the one who cleans cell number five? Don't be so polite, go and clean the cell. It's been filthy for a while now, no one's cleaned it."

Luo Qingchen nodded, said goodbye, and left.

Fortunately, it seems the other party doesn't intend to ask him to change his job.

Uncle Wu didn't seem to care much about Yao Yu's death.

Without a moment's delay, he immediately went into cell number five, took the cleaning tools, and began cleaning.

In the first cell.

When the demon monkey saw him suddenly appear, it was so frightened that it immediately hid in a corner.

Luo Qingchen ignored it.

This demonic monkey is too small and weak to suck much blood, and it also has some intelligence.

To suck blood, you must knock him unconscious for safety.

So he didn't waste his time on it.

He finished cleaning quickly and went into the second cell.

The strange bird in the second cell was a good blood-sucking target for him.

The opponent is enormous, incredibly strong, and has very low intelligence.

Before, all they could do was rage impotently; now, the moment they see him, they immediately stick their butt out, hide in a corner, bury their heads in their feathers, and tremble.

They didn't even dare to open their eyes.

Even when he approached and stabbed it in the thigh with a dagger, it only trembled slightly, shaking even more violently, and still dared not open its eyes.

Such monsters are best suited for bloodsucking.

Luo Qingchen stretched out her palm and began to suck blood directly from its wound.

Even after 40% of the blood had been sucked out, the strange bird remained cowering there, trembling, not daring to utter a sound.

Luo started cleaning the cell early in the morning.

After he left, the sound of the iron gate locking rang out, and the strange bird slowly opened its eyes and raised its head in fear.

It tried to turn around, but its body went limp and it collapsed to the ground.

Its scarlet pupils were filled with terror.

That despicable and cunning human has indeed done something bad to its body again!

"Click—"

Luo Qingchen opened the third cell and went inside.

The snake demon was lying in the corner, resting with her eyes closed. Hearing the sound, she turned her head to look at him and immediately said in a coquettish voice, "Young master, you've finally come! I thought you didn't want me anymore. I'm so itchy here, please help me—"

As she spoke, she brought her long legs together and swayed her body seductively.

"Whoosh!"

Luo Qingchen poured a bucket of dirty water directly onto her.

He added some medicine to the water.

"Waaah, young master, you're so mean! Why did you deliberately get me wet? I was already—wet—just seeing you!"

The snake demon was soaked to the bone, but she still twisted her body seductively, even reaching out her fingers to pull down the dress on her shoulder, deliberately revealing her barely visible breasts.

"Young master, come here, I'm itchy, so itchy—hiss—"

As she continued to sway her body seductively, she suddenly spat out her scarlet forked tongue. The allure in her pupils instantly turned into a bloodthirsty ferocity, scales began to appear on her face, and her long, beautiful legs quickly transformed into a snake's tail.

"hiss"

She suddenly leaped up from the ground, as if she had transformed from a delicate little woman into a raging wild beast!

Her face contorted, she let out a terrifying scream, and her whole body began to twist and struggle desperately.

The iron chain binding her began to straighten, rattling loudly.

"call out-

'

Her scarlet tongue suddenly grew long like a sharp arrow and shot towards Luo Qingchen.

Luo Qingchen was prepared and immediately dodged to the side.

"Snapped!"

The long, thin, and sharp tongue pierced a hole in the heavy iron door behind him.

Luo Qingchen was secretly alarmed and immediately became alert.

The snake demon continued to struggle frantically, and the places where it was chained began to break and bleed.

Just as she was about to stick out her tongue again, Luo Qingchen immediately stretched out her palm and began to suck blood from her wound!

"Whoosh!"

Blood gushed forth like a jet of water.

The snake demon remained extremely violent, lunging at him and howling, its tongue constantly flicking out.

But clearly, her speed began to slow down, and all her strength began to rapidly dissipate.

Luo Qingchen directly absorbed 45% of her blood!

As she collapsed to the ground, her violent rage fading from her eyes, Luo Qingchen had already picked up a broom and was sweeping the cell.

The scales on the snake demon's face quickly disappeared, and its ferocious expression became somewhat bewildered.

He remained motionless for a moment.

She raised her hand, touched her cheek, then her chest, and looked at him suspiciously. She spoke in a soft, coquettish voice, "Young master, you—you've done something bad to me again? Why do I feel so weak all over, like my whole body has been hollowed out? What have you done to me?"

"Do what needs to be done."

Luo Qingchen answered, quickly finished cleaning the cell, and went out.

"Do what you're supposed to do?"

The snake demon paused for a moment, then reached out and touched the front and back of its legs.

The cell hadn't been cleaned for ten days, so it was indeed very dirty.

It wasn't until evening that Luo Qingchen finished cleaning all the cells.

Of course, it's not just about cleaning cells.

When he walked out of cell number five with his cleaning tools, his gilded blood, which originally had only 40 points, had increased to 80 points.

Now, breaking through to the Nourishing Spirit Realm should be no problem at all.

"Senior Brother Wei, I've finished cleaning."

When he reached the iron fence, he returned the key.

Wei Liang was reading a book when he heard this. He simply nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come back in five days."

Luo Qingchen took his leave.

As I emerged from underground, it was almost dark outside.

He quickened his pace.

As they reached the stone bridge over Black Phoenix Peak, four familiar figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Isn't this Junior Brother Luo? Did you just come back from working in the Demon Prison?"

Zhang Duanyang wore a sinister smile.

The other three villains all wore expressions of schadenfreude.

One of them sneered, "Junior Brother Luo, you'd better go back quickly. It seems something has happened to your cave. When we came from there just now, we saw many disciples from Black Phoenix Peak gathered around."

Upon hearing this, the other two suddenly burst into laughter.

Luo Qingchen glanced at the four people, said nothing, and quickly walked onto the stone bridge, passing by them.

When he arrived at the entrance of his cave, he saw that there were indeed quite a few people gathered there.

His cave dwelling, like that of the junior sister next door, was smashed and turned into rubble.

"Junior Brother Luo—"

When Zhang Dong saw him return, he couldn't help but sigh.

The other disciples on Black Phoenix Peak also turned their heads and looked at him, their expressions varying.

There was sympathy, schadenfreude, and other meaningful expressions.

Some people even started whispering among themselves, discussing some of their actions for the evening.

Once the disciples here lose their cave dwellings, they are like peeled eggs, immediately revealing their tempting appearance.

Some people seemed to be swallowing hard, as if they wanted to devour him whole.

The gazes from all around were colder and more piercing than the winter wind, making one's heart tremble.

"Junior Brother Luo, why don't you stay at my place tonight?"

Zhang Dong suddenly said.

Just then, another sweet, delicate voice came from the side path: "Junior Brother Luo, let's go to Senior Sister's place. Senior Sister's cave is very large, the bed is very soft, and the quilt is very warm. It's enough for two people to stay in."

Yuwen Rou, tall and robust, walked along the path with a faint smile on her face.

The other disciples didn't dare to speak again.

A male disciple standing nearby couldn't help but whisper, "If Junior Brother Luo goes, he'll probably be bedridden for three days and three nights before he can get up."

As Yuwen Rou approached, the arena fell silent.

Luo Qingchen seemed not to hear their words and slowly walked into the ruins, starting to turn over the stones on the ground according to the location in her memory.

The surrounding light began to dim, and a cold wind howled.

The disciples who had been watching from all around began to disperse one after another.

Before long, only a few scattered figures stood there, neither too close nor too far, watching the silent figures amidst the ruins.

"Having offended the Four Fiends and had his cave destroyed, he probably won't live for more than a few days."

"That Zhang Duanyang is really arrogant. Doesn't anyone on Black Phoenix Peak stand up for this Junior Brother Luo?"

"Hehe, of course, if this Junior Brother Luo is willing to spend the money."

Soon, the few remaining figures also left one after another.

But in the surrounding darkness, there seemed to be several more sneaky figures.

"Snapped!"

Luo Qingchen turned over a stone and found the venom spilled on the ground, along with the two feathers and some poisoned iron nails.

He put away the feathers and nails.

Then, he found his animal trap under a rock not far away.

It seems the other party only destroyed the cave dwelling and didn't take anything from him.

Perhaps the other party knew that he was penniless, owed a lot of debts, and had even used his soul and cave dwelling to pay off his debts.

Or perhaps the other party simply doesn't care about these cheap little things.

Soon, he found the remaining cultivation herbs and magic stones.

Fortunately, the losses weren't too great.

It's just that one cave dwelling is missing.

but----

Without his cave dwelling, and with nightfall approaching, where could he go?

Without the protective armor, the vulnerable flesh is exposed, and the surrounding swords, spears, and clubs can all injure the person.

It's not just injuring someone, it's murder.

In such a vast sect, there wasn't a single place where he dared to stay overnight.

Demonic Prison?

He might dare to spend the night there, but at night, they wouldn't let him in.

Standing amidst the ruins, I looked around blankly.

As it grew darker, he suddenly thought of a place to go.

Brothel!

Chunqiu Tower?

No, we can't go to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion on the main peak.

The senior and junior sisters, uncles and elder brothers there are probably all ruthless people who would devour others without spitting out their bones.

If you spend a lot of money and then encounter a delicate, timid woman like the senior sister, that would be absolutely terrible.

Therefore, you cannot go to Chunqiu Tower.

He glanced at the furtive figures in the darkness, then walked out of the ruins and along the white path toward the outside of Black Phoenix Peak.

Just as they reached the stone bridge, a familiar voice suddenly came from the dark woods on the right: "Junior Brother Luo, where are you going? I heard your cave dwelling was destroyed. Why don't you stay at my place for the night?"

Luo Qingchen turned her head and saw that it was Han Feng, who had taken her blood during the day.

Han Feng emerged alone from the dark forest, his face earnest: "Junior Brother Luo, I know you won't trust anyone at this time. But I'm different from them. I never attack anyone first, much less harm my medicine dolls. I've already broken through to the Nourishing Spirit Realm, and according to the sect rules, I can't harm you either, so please trust me, Junior Brother Luo."

Luo Qingchen stared at him for a few moments, then cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Han, but I already have somewhere to go."

After saying this, he took his leave and stepped onto the stone bridge.

Han Feng watched his retreating figure, shook his head, and sighed, "In this godforsaken place, there's no trust or affection left between people. Sigh—"

As soon as Luo Qingchen arrived at the main peak, two graceful figures suddenly appeared on the white path to his left.

Upon seeing him, one of them immediately asked with concern, "Junior Brother Luo, we heard that your cave dwelling was destroyed by the Four Fiends of Hundred Corpse Peak? What are you going to do tonight? Why don't you stay with us sisters for the night?"

Both of them were disciples of Black Phoenix Peak, and they were sisters of Li Sheng.

The older sister's name is Chen Miaoyun, and the younger sister's name is Chen Miaoxin.

After Chen Miaoyun finished speaking, Chen Miaoxin also said sweetly, "Yes, Junior Brother Luo, why don't you stay with us for the night? You've just entered the sect and don't have any other friends. It's the middle of the night, you probably don't have anywhere to go, right? It's dangerous for you to wander around outside alone."

Both sisters spoke earnestly, their faces full of concern.

Luo Qingchen cupped her hands and said, "Thank you both, senior sisters, but I already have somewhere to go."

After saying that, he walked towards the white road on the right.

Chen Miaoyun quickly said, "Junior Brother Luo, it's not safe to go anywhere else at this time. We sisters have always been peaceful and have never hurt anyone. If you have any concerns, we sisters can sign a brotherhood contract with you."

Chen Miaoxin, who was standing nearby, also said, "Yes, we can sign a brotherhood contract. Junior Brother Luo, let's go to our cave. The three of us can sleep together. It's very warm, and we won't have to worry about anyone hurting you."

Luo Qingchen ignored them and quickly left.

As the two sisters watched his retreating figure, which he didn't turn back to look at, the concern on their faces gradually turned into a cold and stern expression.

Luo Qingchen went straight down the mountain and headed towards Yaoren Town.

For him right now, Medicine Man Town should be the safest place.

Because there, disciples are not allowed to kill each other.

At least not openly.

He now needs not only a place to stay, but also a place where he can brew herbal medicine for a bath.

Give him some more time, and he'll be able to break through.

If he can successfully break through, all the current problems can be easily solved.

but----

The sect rules clearly stipulate that disciples on the mountain can only stay in Medicine Man Town for a maximum of one day or one night.

Unless there are other emergencies.
