The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Shen Yifei's lie was exposed, and he smiled awkwardly. "Senior, I'm not good with words and I don't know how to lie. Well... since you've already seen through it, I won't hide it from you anymore. I took this cauldron from the storage bag of a senior brother in the Hehuan Sect. At the time, I didn't know what kind of treasure it was, but I just found it quite handy and it was much faster for refining pills than other furnaces."

"Since it was obtained by your senior brother, why doesn't the Cauldron of Myriad Things recognize him as its master?"

"My senior brother just returned from the secret realm and immediately engaged in dual cultivation with a senior sister, draining her dry?"

"Dual cultivation? What is dual cultivation?" Ye Ling asked, somewhat puzzled.

Shen Yifei thought to himself, "How can a master like you not know about dual cultivation?"

Could it be that dual cultivation techniques didn't exist ten thousand years ago?

"Senior, did the Hehuan Sect exist among the human race back then?"

Ye Ling lowered her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Never heard of this sect!"

Seeing that she didn't know anything about dual cultivation, Shen Yifei realized it wouldn't be convenient to explain further. He was worried that she might think he was teasing her and stab him in the back, which wouldn't be worth it.

He quickly changed the subject, "Senior, you just said that this cauldron is the magic weapon of the Five Elements Demon God. Who is the Five Elements Demon God?"

Ye Ling didn't answer, but stared at Shen Yifei for a long while before saying, "Boy, you not only have the bloodline of the Demon Clan's royal family within you, but also a peculiar aura. Although it's very faint, I can sense it. The fact that this cauldron recognizes you as its master, and that the Thunder-Swallowing Beast recognizes you as its master, is no coincidence. This aura might very well be left behind by that Five Elements Demon God!"

"Senior, who is the Five Elements Demon God?" Shen Yifei repeated the question from before.

Ye Ling's assessment was hard for him to accept: he carried demonic blood because of his mother. And who gave him this aura of the Five Elements Demon God?

"Wan Shuo, the Five Elements Demon God, is the most powerful of the nine ancient demon gods," Ye Ling's eyes showed admiration. The demon race is also a race that admires strength, and the strong are supreme.

Demon women don't care if you're a pretty boy or a bastard, or how many fangs you have. As long as you're strong enough, you can win a woman's heart.

Since the Five Elements Demon God is the most powerful of the nine demon gods, he must be the man worshipped by many demon women.

Ye Ling was no exception, so he also had a relatively good grasp of the information about the Five Elements Demon God Wan Shuo.

She continued, "Of the nine great demon gods back then, he was the most mysterious. He could control everything in the world. The spiritual energy, demonic energy, monster energy, and ghost energy in the world could all be used by him. Because he could control the power of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, he was called the Five Elements Demon God."

The more Shen Yifei listened, the more mysterious it seemed. "Senior, you don't actually think I... am the reincarnation of that Five Elements Demon God, do you?"

"Reincarnation? That's impossible. You don't look like him at all." Ye Ling looked him up and down. "He's more beautiful than a woman, and you look like this..."

Ye Ling gently shook her head.

Shen Yifei felt extremely insulted.

"Senior, what's so attractive about a man who looks neither male nor female? A man should look like a man!"

Ye Ling didn't argue with him. "Don't worry about your appearance. You should think about it. You must have some mark of the Five Elements Demon God on you, which is why the Cauldron of All Things and the Thunder-Swallowing Beast recognize you as their master."

"A mark?" Shen Yifei thought for a long time but couldn't think of any special mark he had.

Suddenly, Ye Ling moved closer to him and took a deep sniff. "The medicinal scent on you... um... smells quite nice..."

Shen Yifei knew that he smelled of medicine on his body, which would have an aphrodisiac effect on women, but he just couldn't smell it no matter what he did.

Shen Yifei was startled by Ye Ling's sudden action and leaned back slightly.

"Don't move." Ye Ling leaned forward again, her nose almost touching his neck, took a deep breath, and then closed her eyes, as if savoring something.

Shen Yifei froze completely.

The woman, who had just been killing people without hesitation and was covered in blood, was now sniffing him like a little dog.

"Senior, what...what did you smell?" Shen Yifei asked in a low voice.

Ye Ling opened her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly. "There's a very faint scent in the medicine on you, like...like the scent of the Five Elements Demon God recorded in ancient books."

"Huh? Senior, you don't remember, do you?" Shen Yifei didn't expect that he would be involved with the ancient demon god.

"There's no mistake." Ye Ling straightened up and took a half step back. "I've read in ancient books that the Five Elements Demon God Wan Shuo always has a unique medicinal fragrance on his body. This fragrance is specifically designed to seduce women! The scent on you just now... Hmm, I'm sure of it, this medicinal fragrance is the mark."

Shen Yifei was completely confused. "But I've never had any contact with any Five Elements Demon Gods."

Ye Ling explained it very clearly: it was because of the medicinal fragrance on her body that the little monster and the Cauldron of All Things willingly recognized her as their master.

However, before he could think about it, a horn sounded from deep within the fortress, even more urgent than before.

Ye Ling listened intently, a cold smile appearing on her face. "It's their leader who's here."

"There's more?" Shen Yifei's face turned pale as he saw an even larger army of demons surging towards them than before.

Leading the group was a demon general riding a three-headed lizard. He was over two zhang tall, clad in red armor, wielding a long sword, and exuding a murderous aura as he charged forward!

When he saw the mountain of corpses piled up in the square, and then saw Ye Ling, he sneered, "I wondered who was so powerful, but it turns out to be the God of Slaughter. What a pity, after being sealed for ten thousand years, how much of your power do you still have left?"

"Thirty percent of my power is enough to kill you."

Before Ye Ling could finish speaking, she had already transformed into a bloody shadow and rushed out.

Shen Yifei sighed inwardly. This woman was decisive and ruthless, she acted immediately! Her demonic energy hadn't fully recovered, and she didn't know any delaying tactics. This woman was a bit reckless!

Without time to think, Shen Yifei drew his sword and followed. Although most of the spiritual energy in his dantian had been absorbed by the Myriad Things Cauldron, after killing so many people, the power of the Breaking Army Sword had accumulated to an unprecedented level.

Holding the Long Sky Sword at this moment, he felt the killing intent emanating from the blade almost overflowing from its edge.

Without turning her head, Ye Ling shouted, "You block the others!"

She flicked her spear, the tip piercing straight into the middle head of the demonic lizard. The demonic lizard roared, its two heads simultaneously opening their blood-red maws and spewing out two streams of black venom.

Ye Ling ducked low, the venom grazing her head before landing on the ground, sizzling and smoking. Using the momentum, she rolled away, now beneath the demonic lizard's belly, and thrust her spear upwards!

With a "thud," the spear tip pierced the demon lizard's abdomen. Ye Ling twisted her wrist and then slashed downwards.

The lizard let out a piercing scream, and its internal organs spilled out of its ripped belly.

The red-armored general leaped from the demonic lizard's back, slashing down with his long sword, the blade wreathed in a foot-long, blackish-red demonic flame.

Ye Ling held his spear horizontally, and with a loud clang, both of them took three steps back.

"Hahaha!" The red-armored general laughed wildly, "God of Slaughter, you really are finished! Back in the day, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state! Today is your death day!"
