Chapter 427 Heavenly Trade: Humans Become Demons, Demons Refine Immortal Pills

What bothered the second sister even more was why this chosen one kept calling himself "Old Sun"? Did he really think he was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

You must know that Sun Wukong has already been killed. The only way to bring him back to life is to find all the spiritual treasures he lost after his death.

One of these artifacts is still with his mother! Therefore, it is impossible for Sun Wukong to be resurrected.

"What are you thinking about, Second Sister? Why are you so engrossed?" The eldest spider demon asked, looking at her second sister.

"Second sister, this monkey who came this time is indeed quite unusual. This monkey actually calls himself 'Old Sun,' 'Old Sun.'"

It was as if he were the Monkey King, and he came with Marshal Tianpeng (Pigsy), something that had never happened before. The Spider Demon Second Sister recounted everything she had seen and heard.

"His strength is terrifying; he could kill you with a single blow! And he even calls himself 'Old Sun.' Could he really be Sun Wukong?" the Spider Demon Sister asked.

"I heard news from Little Thunder Temple and Yellow Wind Ridge that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, has truly come back to life," said Spider Demon Fifth Sister.

"Impossible! Sun Wukong has been dead for hundreds of years. The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was one of the demon kings who besieged him back then. The things he transformed into after his death are still with our mother!"

"This monkey can't possibly come back to life. I guess that monkey was just special, it just so happens to be able to talk, just so happens to have the surname Sun, and just so happens to be somewhat strong!" the Spider Demon Elder Sister said.

They simply wouldn't believe that Sun Wukong could be brought back to life.

While chatting with the Zhu sisters, the inner room opened automatically, and the old spider demon, dressed in a red wedding gown and wearing the same outfit she wore when she first met Tianpeng, walked out.

"Girls, my good brother, ahh, you!!!" The old spider demon was about to say something.

But when he looked up, he saw Marshal Tianpeng, Zhu Bajie, standing at the door, already controlled by the spider demon with golden needles.

The old spider demon gaped in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief. This... this appearance... this wasn't the pig demon she'd seen on the journey to the West! This... this was Marshal Tianpeng from back then! This was his incomparably handsome appearance back then!

This is the real her! Her brother whom she has waited for for hundreds of years!

"Mother! What do you think? Isn't he the one you were in love with back then? He is indeed quite handsome, no wonder you were so infatuated with him!" At this moment, the second sister of the spider demon walked up to her mother and said with a proud look.

After all, he was the one who captured the person, so if there was any reward, he would take it.

However, her mother had no time to say these words at this moment. Looking at Marshal Tianpeng from her memories, the old spider demon's feelings were extremely complicated, and she could not calm down for a long time.

Centuries later, he was mentally prepared to see a small, pig-like demon.

But the person standing in front of her was the former Marshal Tianpeng, and the huge difference made it hard for her to accept for a moment.

How can this be explained? How can this be explained? Even the old spider demon wanted to cover her face, because she didn't want her beloved to see her aged appearance.

The Pigsy in front of her was still the same Marshal Tianpeng, but she was no longer a fairy in the Moon Palace, but a spider demon who had fallen to the mortal world.

"Mother, Mother, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" The spider demon sisters saw their mother suddenly fall silent. They immediately assumed that their mother's old ailment had flared up again and rushed forward to ask.

"How could he be like this now? This is what he looked like when he was Marshal Tianpeng!"

"Why? Why is he appearing before me like this? Could it be that he knows I'm about to die, so... so he's transformed into this form to see me one last time?" The old spider demon suddenly collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself.

"Mother, I don't know anything about this. He was like this when I brought him to me," the second sister of the spider demons hurriedly said.

"What a tragedy! He has returned to his original form, but I am not the same as before, I am not the same as before, how can I see him, how can I see him?" the old spider demon suddenly cried out.

"Mother, Mother!"

"Mother! Are you alright? Please take care of yourself!"

"You girls, I'm fine. It's just that this surprise was a bit too much! Let me catch my breath. This, this brother, I'll take him inside first."

"We expect to have some guests soon, so we need to take good care of them." After saying this, the spider demon pulled Pigsy, who had transformed back into Marshal Tianpeng, into the inner room.

Should we really use the scheme that my senior brother and I set up? If we do, will my senior brother still be able to spare Marshal Tianpeng's life?

Now that you've become like this, how am I supposed to hurt you? But in this state, I would absolutely never hurt you.

Meanwhile, in the middle level of the Spider Cave, the fourth spider demon sister led Rod. The group arrived at a secluded cave. Two lanterns hung from the cave ceiling, constantly shouting "Great joy! Great joy!"

The fourth spider demon was annoyed by what she heard, so she casually threw out a dagger and pierced the two talking lanterns straight through.

"Little girl, what do you mean by bringing us here? Is this place related to the business in the celestial realm you mentioned?" Rhodes asked.

"It contains some treasures, and some of the boxes are my dowry," said the fourth sister of the spider demons, leading the group into the cave and pointing to the five boxes on the ground.

"Oh! The dowry!" Does this mean she's going to offer herself in marriage?

Just a moment ago they were talking about being slaves and maids, and now they want to climb to another level of status. But this girl is indeed quite good-looking, and I don't have a single pretty girl with Eastern features by my side.

"Great God Wutian! Besides my dowry, the real treasure here is the thing inside the very back."

Inside is a peculiar insect demon called the Qinlang Demon, which was originally transformed from a celestial egg brought from Xikunlun.

However, the lower realm lacks the abundant spiritual energy of the celestial realm. In Xikunlun, those that could grow into celestial beasts did not hatch into true celestial beasts but instead mutated.

One of the fairy eggs was fed to the Pleiades Star Lord of Purple Cloud Mountain, while the other successfully hatched into the Qin Mantis Fairy in this cave. This demon beast lays some insect eggs every ten years.

"And these insect eggs will be taken away by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and fed to his outstanding disciples, turning them into monsters," Fourth Sister said.

"The Pleiades Star Lord? Is this what you Heavenly Realm call a business deal? Tell me the truth about this business deal." Sun Wukong suddenly had a very bad premonition and immediately asked with a solemn expression.

"The Yellow Flower Temple of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord recruits disciples every ten years, and these disciples are divided into three categories."

The most talented are those who study swordsmanship; they don't need to do anything except practice.

Those with poor aptitude learn the floating dust technique or practice some rudimentary skills, but they are all errand boys, doing all sorts of things in the Taoist temple.

"These disciples with the best aptitude for swordsmanship ascend to the upper realm every ten years, something everyone envies," said the Spider Demon Fourth Sister.

"Impossible! There's no such thing as becoming an immortal! If one cultivates for ten years, one can ascend to heaven and become an immortal."

"There are countless immortals in the heavens, and even those heavenly soldiers and generals are just the souls of human soldiers who have died. They can't even be considered true immortals," Sun Wukong said, shaking his head.

Having once served in the Heavenly Court, he knew some of its specifics, including that the lowest-ranking heavenly soldiers and generals were actually the souls of human soldiers who had died.

The mass-produced immortal armor forged in the celestial palace turned into a kind of puppet soldier, not a true immortal, and it is even unknown whether it is a living thing.

Cultivating to become an immortal is extremely difficult, and immortals are ranked according to seniority, so it's not that simple.

"Haha, these mortals have no idea. They just think they've been granted a divine destiny."

"They did indeed ascend to heaven, but not to become immortals. Instead, they went to refine pills for people; they were the best materials for refining pills," said the fourth sister of the spider demon.

Becoming an immortal! Becoming an immortal! The entire Three Realms and Six Paths have been harmed by this immortality! Sun Wukong was furious; he had already guessed what had happened.

"The insect eggs laid by the demonic beasts deep in this cave, if eaten by mortals, will have their internal organs devoured by the immortal insects if the mortals have exceptional aptitude."

Then it transformed into a strange insect demon, imbued with a trace of the immortal energy of Xikunlun, as well as the spiritual energy they had gained from ten years of cultivation, becoming a high-level demon beast.

This kind of monster has no intelligence, but it is a top-quality material for alchemy. As long as it is sent to the Heavenly Palace, it can be refined by professional alchemists.

"Then we can refine a kind of elixir that can increase the lifespan of immortals. Those immortals in the heavens achieve immortality by consuming these refined elixirs," Fourth Sister said slowly.

This is the real business in the Spider Cave, the business they've been doing for hundreds of years, and even the previous generation of spider demons did the same.

It's just that it wasn't the Qinlang Fairy back then, but something else, but overall the effect was the same.

As long as the Heavenly Court can be supplied with these demonic beasts that can be used for alchemy, whether they are human or demon, as long as they are delivered on time, the Heavenly Court will not ask questions or care.

"Damn it all! Damn it all! These bastards from the celestial realm, these dogs from the Heavenly Court, these scoundrels! How are they any different from the demons of Lion Camel Ridge? How are they any different?" Sun Wukong said angrily.

Mortals worship these immortals and Buddhas, but they themselves are treated as food and eaten by these very immortals and Buddhas they worship!

Transforming humans into high-level demonic beasts through special means and then refining them into pills is a cruel practice that is utterly outrageous.

Even Rhodes felt a wave of nausea. The idea was to cultivate the eggs of a kind of insect demon and then inject these eggs into the bodies of human cultivators with excellent aptitude.

Transforming them into demon immortals, and then using these demon immortals to refine pills to increase the lifespan of real immortals—this is truly a one-stop shop for your mother!

That's great! Now I can attack the Heavenly Court and seize this world without any psychological pressure. These gods and immortals in this world are simply inhuman.

"I do know a bit about this business. There are many immortals in Heaven. The Queen Mother of the West's peaches of immortality and Lao Tzu's elixir of immortality are not enough to extend the lifespan of all the immortals, so we have to find something new."

This kind of shady business is indeed prevalent in the lower realms, and has been going on for countless years.

This Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord also used his position to settle personal scores, using the two immortal eggs bestowed by Xikunlun to corrupt the Pleiades Star Lord. I came down to the mortal realm to find him back then.

After learning the truth, I dared not return to the Heavenly Realm again. I was afraid that one day the Heavenly Court would also use such methods to eliminate me.” Kang Jinlongnu also told me some of the things she knew.

"Wukong! Go in and kill that insect demon inside, get rid of this menace," Rod said.

Sun Wukong nodded, shouldered his iron cudgel, and walked into the depths of the cave. Then, the sounds of fighting and the mournful cry of a dying insect came from inside.

A moment later, Sun Wukong ran out.

"Great God Wutian, rest assured, that wicked demon who harmed people has been beaten to death by me, Old Sun. His head was even smashed open," Sun Wukong said.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes smiled and nodded. He secretly used his death power to collect the soul of the dead mantis fairy, then revived the corpse and threw it directly into his private space.

Using demonic beasts to refine pills is indeed a good business, since things that can increase lifespan can be mass-produced and are considered hard currency everywhere.

While the life force of himself and Azeroth can indeed increase lifespan, this cannot be used by everyone. Therefore, Rhode is also planning to develop a life-extending pill that can be mass-produced.

However, Rhodes doesn't need human monks; in fact, the world of Azeroth has many low-level races that are very suitable.

For example, the ubiquitous fishermen, kobolds, gnolls, or the loyal lackeys of the Dark Empire, those spider demons of the underworld, would also be very suitable! After all, they are insects themselves.

These descendants of the Angela insectoid race are the most loyal supporters of the Old Gods, their utter lackeys.

I wonder if they could combine with these insect eggs to refine elixirs?

Therefore, Rhode felt no psychological pressure at all about using these guys to make pills that could prolong life.

But this kind of thing has to be kept away from Sun Wukong and his friends, so they don't know about it. Otherwise, the plan to subdue the monkey will be difficult to implement. After all, I am currently playing a relatively upright role, and I can't let anyone see through my act!

Unfortunately, I don't have any skilled alchemists around me. I'll have to find someone in this world who knows alchemy.

And since the Immortal Egg came from West Kunlun, does West Kunlun have something even better? Let's get it all over there.

Furthermore, the peaches from the peach trees in this world that ripen once every three thousand, six thousand, or nine thousand years are also precious.

And the legendary ginseng fruit—we must get all of these.

After killing the middle-level Mantis Fairy, Rod led Wukong and the others forward to the bottom of the Spider Cave, where they dealt with a Taoist priest named Black Hand.

The Taoist priest, known as Black Hand, told Sun Wukong and Luo De how to enter Ziyun Mountain, and then left.

He was one of the six brothers of Meishan arranged by Erlang Shen Yang Jian, specifically waiting here to test the chosen ones, but the previous chosen ones had all failed his test.

The group continued on their way and finally arrived at a large courtyard at the very bottom of the Spider Cave. There were some wedding decorations hanging there, creating a festive atmosphere.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie, his face glowing with a sinister black light, came out of the house, hoisted his rake onto his shoulder, and glared fiercely at Sun Wukong.

"What happened to you, you idiot? What happened to you?"

"Get out of here, you stable boy! What a load of crap! Now you're going to live here with your sister for life. I'll never leave again. Get out of here!" Pigsy said, panting heavily.

"Great Sage, Marshal Tianpeng is somewhat delirious. My mother previously controlled him with a golden needle."

"He's been bewitched. All we need to do is remove the golden needle from his head," the Spider Demon's fourth sister hurriedly said.

He had just sensed that his elderly mother and several sisters had already left, probably heading towards Huanghua Temple.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong!

Without a word, Sun Wukong grabbed his staff and charged at Zhu Bajie, defeating him in a few rounds. Zhu Bajie was lying on the ground when Luo De removed the golden needle from his head.

"Hehe! You fool, you've been right, haven't you? Look at you, you've fallen for their trick!" After Pigsy regained his senses, Monkey King immediately jumped forward and mocked him.

"You, you monkey, I fell for this treacherous scheme all to save you! And now you're talking sarcastic remarks about me."

"Marshal Tianpeng, where is my mother?" the fourth sister of the spider demon asked.

"Oh no, I almost forgot about that. Great God Wutian, my senior brother and I will capture that old spider demon in a moment. I hope you will spare the Zhu family line."

"They were all forced to do dirty and tiring work by the people of Heaven and Xikunlun, but the real masterminds behind it all are those high and mighty immortals and gods, and that Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord." Pigsy hurriedly said.

"We already know about these things. There's a trade in demon cores between the Heavenly Court and the Western Kunlun here," Rhodes said.

This deal is indeed cruel. Most importantly, they used humans to mutate into demons as materials for alchemy. The Bodhisattva of Mount Ling can turn the people of Sihali into demons. Isn't that also a kind of disguised business?

"That's good, let's go! I, Old Pig, will take you to find Zizhu'er." (End of Chapter)
