I Have an Old Acquaintance Named Chen Zhao
Little C, the "Ninety Days of Hard Work" flavor is too strong!!
If you keep trying to smother me with your old classmate's scent, you'll only ever be relegated to the sidelines.
Lu Ping shouted at Little C.
As for Little B, after outmaneuvering the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, he thought he was invincible again.
If the opponent is in the late stage of the Transformation, it's equivalent to Void Refining Realm cultivator in the Human Race!
Take it easy.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You step out of the cabin and stand at the very front of the deck.]
"Send the order: activate the formation, return to base."
[Hundreds of the Profound Beast Taming Sect disciples responded in unison, the Array Patterns lit up, and the massive Flying Boat slowly rose into the air, turning its bow and flying towards the Demon-Severing Cliff.]
[Five days later.]
[The colossal, black cliff face that seemed to stretch to the sky reappeared in our view.]
[You hold the Formation Command Token, Flying Boat passes through the invisible light membrane.]
The Flying Boat landed on the stone platform thirty miles away from the Demon-Severing Cliff.
[You stand at the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant, sprawling Military Camp.]
[You hang the Alchemist's badge from the Third Medicine Camp on your belt, the badge hidden by your robe.]
[According to the rules of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, strict checks are required to enter and exit the Demon-Severing Cliff.]
A group of cultivators from the Demon-Suppressing Tower flew in on their swords and hovered in front of the Flying Boat.
[The one leading the team is still General Li, the same one from last time.]
General Li waved his hand, signaling his men to check the number and types of Demon Beasts on the Flying Boat and record them.
Of the Demon Beasts brought back from the Myriad Demon Domain, the Profound Beast Taming Sect can take 90%, leaving 10% as "customs duty."
[Of course, this money wasn't entirely wasted.]
[The Demon-Suppressing Tower guards the Demon-Severing Cliff, ultimately serving to protect the Human Race the Demon Race.]
[Moreover, with this "taxpayer" status, the sect can legitimately purchase the latest information on the movements of Demon Beasts and other Myriad Demon Domain about the Myriad Demon Domain from the Demon-Suppressing Tower.]
[If you're unlucky enough to be targeted by Great Demon in the Myriad Demon Domain, as long as you don't escape the Demon-Suppressing Tower's rescue zone, you can still send a signal to the garrison for help.]
However, the flying swords of the Demon-Suppressing Tower never fly in vain.
[A distress signal sounds, and ten thousand taels of Spirit Stone won.]
[The subsequent "appearance fees," "depreciation of the Formation Technique," and "rescue packages calculated per person" amounted to another sum of Spirit Stones that would directly cause an ordinary sect to Deficit.]
"Don't call for help unless absolutely necessary"—this is a consensus among almost everyone who enters or leaves the Demon-Severing Cliff.
[The Demon-Suppressing Tower even openly encourages sects from the Azure Dragon Domain to enter the Myriad Demon Domain to hunt demons.]
[Firstly, this weakens the Demon Race's strength; secondly, it maintains the Human Race cultivators' fighting instincts against the Demon Race.]
[After all, under the mature Cultivation Capitalist System in the Azure Dragon Domain, the fighting spirit of most cultivators has long been worn down by Spirit Stones and loans.]
[Thirdly, naturally, the more people enter the Myriad Demon Domain, the higher the income of the Demon-Suppressing Tower will be.]
[General Li's gaze swept across the beast-beast cabin at the bottom of the Flying Boat, and a strange light flashed in his eyes when he saw the cabin crammed with demonic Demon Beasts.]
"The Elder Zhu have indeed reaped a great harvest this time."
General Li's tone was somewhat polite.
[You, with Zhu Wanshan's face, smiled faintly.]
"Thanks to the Demon-Suppressing Tower, we didn't encounter any major trouble. These few good-looking Thundercloud Leopard cubs, not including taxes, will be sent away later as a small token of our Profound Beast Taming Sect's appreciation to our troops."
[The Flattery has taken effect.]
[Commercial Espionage, effective.]
[The Workplace People-Pleaser, effective.]
General Li's expression softened considerably.
"Elder Zhu, you are too kind. The Travel Permit has been verified and is valid. The Profound Beast Taming Sect's Flying Boat can leave Demon-Severing Cliff at any time."
[But instead of immediately ordering the departure, you bowed slightly to General Li.]
"General Li."
General Li looked at you, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
[The Profound Beast Taming Sect Grand Elder always leaves as soon as he finishes his task at the Demon-Severing Cliff, never lingering for even a moment longer, let alone taking the initiative to speak with anyone. Why has he changed his tune today?]
"Do Elder Zhu have something else to say?"
A sincere smile appeared on your face.
"I have an old acquaintance who works in the Medicine Camp; his name is Chen Zhao."
"Years ago, he asked me to find a prescription for a Pill Formula. Now, I have fortunately obtained it and wish to deliver it to him in person. I wonder if the general would be so kind as to make an exception?"
[Forty years later, Chen Zhao is the Camp General of the Third Medicine Camp. But now, that great calamity is still decades away.]
[You're not even sure if Chen Zhao is currently at the Third Medicine Camp.]
However, given Chen Zhao's personality, he entered the Demon-Suppressing Tower at the Foundation Establishment Realm, fighting and refining pills along the way, eventually reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
[Right now, they're most likely still in the Medicine Camp.]
Upon hearing Chen Zhao from the Medicine Camp, General Li's wary expression softened.
The name Chen Zhao isn't exactly well-known, but it's not unfamiliar either.
[At Demon-Severing Cliff, one might be unfamiliar with one's superiors, but one cannot be unaware of the Alchemists in the Medicine Camp, and one dares not easily offend those powerful figures.]
[After all, life is a constant struggle; everyone has moments of serious injury and desperate need for medicine. Offending Alchemist is tantamount to cutting off one's own escape route.]
General Li paused, then said,
"The Demon-Suppressing Tower is a heavily guarded area; outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. If Elder Zhu wish to see Camp General, I must send someone to inform him and confirm."
"As for whether or not to meet him, it depends on Camp General Chen's own decision."
[Options pop up.]
[A: Take out a token and have the messenger deliver it to Chen Zhao, ensuring he will come out to see you after seeing it.]
[B: Pull out the Star River Ten Thousand Blades and charge straight in. Let's see if, with your current strength, you can fight your way to Song Fuan and force him to hand over Chen Zhao.]
[C: Pulls out a megaphone and shouts at the Demon-Suppressing Tower: "Chen Zhao! When are you going to repay the 320 Spirit Stones you borrowed! If you don't pay back the money, all the employees of the Profound Beast Taming Sect will sleep at the entrance of the Demon-Suppressing Tower to demand repayment!"]
