Masked Man of the Evil Demon Society!

Monster meat was not precious. Most of it was used as research material, or used in place of Demon Blood to refine inferior secret medicine.

Therefore, although monster meat was not precious, it could still be bought in certain places, such as the Black Market.

After making a few inquiries, Li Changsheng found a shop where he bought a batch of demon beast meat—Blood Wolf Demon meat.

No matter how worthless wolf demon meat was, it still cost one or two taels of silver per jin.

Li Changsheng bought ten jin of wolf demon meat in one go. He would take it back and see whether it could help improve his Vajra Dao Fruit. If there were no side effects, he would start buying it in bulk.

Before long, he returned to his residence with the ten jin of wolf demon meat.

Then, he bought some seasonings and began stewing the wolf demon meat.

After it was cooked, he took a bite. His first impression was that it was dry and tough, with a terrible taste. Even after adding plenty of seasonings, the wolf demon meat was still impossible to make delicious.

He did not care about the taste. He swallowed that bite directly, then used the Vajra Dao Fruit to digest the wolf demon meat.

Boom!!!!

The powerful energy was gradually absorbed by him, and the Vajra Dao Fruit's experience began to increase.

"The effect is excellent!"

Li Changsheng revealed a delighted expression. Moreover, the Vajra Dao Fruit seemed to have perfectly absorbed the Demonic Nature contained within the wolf demon meat, causing no effect on his body.

He was an Alchemist with powerful spiritual strength and was highly sensitive to Demonic Nature. He could be certain that he would not be affected by the monster meat.

"The Vajra Dao Fruit is far too powerful!"

Li Changsheng said in delight.

Before long, he finished all ten jin of wolf demon meat.

Afterward, he continued buying wolf demon meat. At his rate of refinement, he could consume fifty jin of wolf demon meat a day, increasing his experience by 20% each day.

In other words, by eating this wolf demon meat, he could raise the Vajra Dao Fruit to Level 3 in five days. This was also the fastest-improving Dao Fruit he possessed.

In terms of value, the Vajra Dao Fruit was much better than the Forging Dao Fruit. But that did not mean the Forging Dao Fruit was bad. If he raised the Forging Dao Fruit in the future and could forge incomparably powerful weapons, its value would be enormous.

Five days later, the Vajra Dao Fruit rose to Level 3. His physical constitution improved somewhat, and his foundation became much stronger.

After the Vajra Dao Fruit reached Level 3, with his cultivation of the Golden Bell Shield and the flawless Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine, completing the Sixth Skin Grinding was within reach.

Another half month passed. Li Changsheng successfully completed the Sixth Skin Grinding, causing his skin membrane to begin transforming from the Silver Skin Perfection Realm into the Flood Dragon Skin Realm.

Boom!!!!

His skin was transforming. His qi and blood merged with his skin, gradually forming densely packed membrane scales. These membrane scales could multiply his defensive power severalfold.

This was the initial formation of Flood Dragon Skin. Once he reached the Perfection of Flood Dragon Skin Realm, these membrane scales could be hidden beneath the skin membrane, making it difficult for others to discern his true Skin Grinding Realm.

"Flood Dragon Skin Realm—I've achieved it. I never imagined that with just one High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art, I would cultivate the Skin Grinding Realm to the Flood Dragon Skin Realm. If I told anyone, I'm afraid no one would believe it!!!!"

Li Changsheng was extremely excited.

However, he still wanted to obtain more High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts. At the very least, they would let him improve faster in the Flood Dragon Skin Realm. If he stacked more High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts together with the Vajra Dao Fruit, he had hope of cultivating the Dragon Skin Realm.

The Dragon Skin Realm was his greatest pursuit within the Skin Grinding Realm.

On this day.

As usual, Li Changsheng went to that shop in the Black Market and bought several dozen jin of wolf demon meat. After having it wrapped up, he took it back with him.

On the way back, Li Changsheng's powerful spiritual strength as an Alchemist allowed him to notice someone following him.

He sensed that the other party was no simple person. He could only detect that someone was tailing him, but could not lock onto their location. The other party's strength should be above his own.

Without revealing anything, he returned to his small courtyard, and the person in the shadows followed him there.

"Who are you, and why are you following me?"

Li Changsheng called out.

He had not sensed any killing intent. That person should have some other purpose. Besides, even if he could not defeat them, he could still easily escape with the defensive power of Flood Dragon Skin covering his entire body.

"What sharp perception."

A figure emerged. The other party wore a mask, dressed in green, and had a sword at his waist. His aura was extremely powerful. He was absolutely a martial artist above the Bone Refining Realm, most likely in the Tendon Refining Realm.

"Who are you?"

Li Changsheng asked again.

"Evil Demon Society, Greedy Wolf Number Six!" the Masked Man said.

The Evil Demon Society!

Li Changsheng's pupils contracted. He had not expected to be targeted by the Evil Demon Society after all. But he had not done anything excessive, nor had he displayed astonishing combat power. Why had the Evil Demon Society set its sights on him?

No, it was the wolf demon meat!

"That shop selling wolf demon meat is connected to you?"

Li Changsheng asked in return.

The Masked Man said, "You bought the wolf demon meat to eat it, right? Eating it the way you do, you'll sooner or later undergo Demonization. Perhaps you obtained some secret art that lets you grow stronger by consuming monster meat, but its side effects must be severe. Our Evil Demon Society has better secret arts. How about joining us?"

Li Changsheng did not refuse immediately. If he refused now, this man would definitely kill him. Even if he could escape, stronger martial artists from the Evil Demon Society would come after him.

"Do you have High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts?"

Li Changsheng asked.

If this so-called Evil Demon Society had High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts, then pretending to join them was not impossible. Once his strength increased, he could kill this Masked Man.

"High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts? Of course we have them!" the Masked Man said. "As long as you render merit, forget High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts—even High-grade Bone Refining Martial Arts, we can produce them."

"Fine, then I'll join. But how do I join? Do I need to go to your headquarters?"

Li Changsheng asked.

The Masked Man said, "You've only just joined. Naturally, we won't allow you into the headquarters. For now, you only need to contact me through a single line."

"What do I need to do?"

Li Changsheng asked.

"You are a member of the Demon Suppression Division. For the time being, obtain intelligence from the Demon Suppression Division and provide us with information." After saying that, the Masked Man took out a flesh ball and tossed it over.

"Eat it!"

the Masked Man ordered.

"What is this?"

Li Changsheng asked in confusion.

"A means of controlling you. This flesh ball is a special kind of Demon Worm Meat. After you eat it, the special worm eggs within the Demon Worm Meat will parasitize you. If you betray us, you will die!"

"As long as you do not betray us, we can give you special secret medicine to suppress these demon worm eggs and prevent them from growing," the Masked Man explained.

"Fine, I'll eat it!"

Li Changsheng was no longer worried after learning that it was Demon Worm Meat. With the Level 3 Vajra Dao Fruit, he could completely refine the worm eggs inside it. Controlling him would be nearly impossible.

Immediately afterward, he swallowed the Demon Worm Meat in one gulp.
