Demon Merging Secret Medicine!

After the Demon Worm Meat entered his stomach, he immediately activated the Vajra Dao Fruit's ability, swiftly digesting the energy within it. Strands of insect eggs containing Demonic Nature were rapidly absorbed and refined under the Vajra Dao Fruit's digestion, utterly unable to take root inside his body and hatch into worms.

In truth, such insect eggs were only useful against martial artists below the Viscera Realm. Martial artists of the Viscera Realm possessed incomparably powerful internal organs; even without the Vajra Dao Fruit, they could resist such insect eggs by relying on their own viscera to absorb the energy.

"Very good!"

Seeing Li Changsheng swallow the insect eggs, the Masked Man nodded in satisfaction.

"Can I receive a High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art in advance?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Yes!" The Masked Man agreed. High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts were not particularly precious; they only seemed valuable because the inner city controlled their circulation. Yet the Evil Demon Society possessed quite a few High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts. Giving one to Li Changsheng to study was nothing much.

The Masked Man pulled a secret manual from his robes and handed it to Li Changsheng.

"Iron Cloth Shirt!"

Li Changsheng looked at the martial art and was greatly pleased. This was also a High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art on the same level as the Golden Bell Shield, capable of tempering the skin membrane across the entire body.

"Cultivate well. If anything comes up, I will come find you!"

With that, the Masked Man left.

After the Masked Man had gone, Li Changsheng smiled.

Although being targeted by the Evil Demon Society was not a good thing, it was an opportunity to obtain some High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts from them. Otherwise, acquiring multiple High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts would not be easy!

After obtaining the High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art Iron Cloth Shirt, Li Changsheng began cultivating it. Using flawless-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine, his progress in Iron Cloth Shirt was extraordinarily swift.

Beginner!

Lesser Accomplishment!

Greater Accomplishment!

Perfection Realm!

Once Iron Cloth Shirt reached Perfection, his physical constitution improved considerably, and his cultivation was nearing a breakthrough into the Lesser Accomplishment of the Serpent Skin Realm.

After some more days passed, Li Changsheng's cultivation broke through once again, advancing from the beginner stage of the Serpent Skin Realm to the Lesser Accomplishment of the Serpent Skin Realm.

However, after reaching the Lesser Accomplishment of the Serpent Skin Realm, his progress slowed considerably. The Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, two High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts, were no longer of much help to him.

He was also eating Monster Meat, but it was not easy to raise the Vajra Dao Fruit from Level 3 to Level 4. Even if he ate the Monster Meat of a Level 2 Minor Demon, it would take a long time to upgrade the Vajra Dao Fruit.

At present, his simplest method of breaking through was still to cultivate a third High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art.

But getting a third High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art from the Evil Demon Society would probably not be easy. He had no achievements to his name yet, so why would the Evil Demon Society give him another High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art?

One day.

Li Changsheng arrived at the Black Market and went to the shop selling Monster Meat, leaving behind a message that he wished to meet the Masked Man, Greedy Wolf Number Six.

After nightfall.

Greedy Wolf Number Six came to meet Li Changsheng.

"Speak. Why did you wish to see me?" Greedy Wolf Number Six asked.

Li Changsheng said, "I wanted to ask whether the Evil Demon Society has any recent missions. I would like to see if there are any suitable for me."

"Not bad. You are quite diligent, but your strength is still too weak. You cannot help the Evil Demon Society at all. It would be best for you to raise your cultivation first. Once you break through to the Perfection Realm of the Silver Skin Realm, I will arrange more missions for you," Greedy Wolf Number Six said.

"Lord Greedy Wolf, I still wish to see whether there are any suitable missions," Li Changsheng said.

"Fine!" Greedy Wolf Number Six took out the Evil Demon Society's mission list for Baiye City. These were not all the missions, only a portion of them. Some missions involved secrets and would not be shown to ordinary members like Li Changsheng, who had only just joined the Evil Demon Society.

Li Changsheng studied it carefully and was truly shocked by the missions listed above. Quite a few were assassination missions, targeting geniuses from the major factions of the outer city. There were also missions aimed at the Demon Fighting Arena, such as releasing the demons held there and throwing Baiye City into chaos.

There were also demon-catching missions on the list.

The Evil Demon Society cooperated with demons, but they also killed demons. So long as it helped increase their strength, they would do anything.

Very soon, he noticed a rather good mission.

"Refine Demon Merging Secret Medicine!"

Li Changsheng pointed at the mission and said, "Lord Greedy Wolf, this Demon Merging Secret Medicine mission is quite good. It can earn a fair amount of merit!"

Greedy Wolf Number Six sneered. "This mission is not simple. Demon Merging Secret Medicine is no ordinary Secret Medicine. It allows the martial artists of our Evil Demon Society to suppress their Demonic Nature and is one of the Evil Demon Society's essential Secret Medicines. But it is extremely difficult to refine, and during the refinement process, Demonic Nature can easily erupt and affect the Alchemist himself. There are very few Alchemists in our Evil Demon Society. After all, refining medicine requires concentration, powerful spiritual force, and talent for alchemy. Most of the Evil Demon Society's Alchemists are somewhat mentally unstable and unsuitable for refining this kind of Secret Medicine, so there are exceedingly few Alchemists who truly meet the requirements. And you want to refine Demon Merging Secret Medicine?"

"Lord Greedy Wolf, I am very interested in alchemy and wish to give it a try," Li Changsheng explained.

"Fine. I will give you the formula for Demon Merging Secret Medicine, along with several portions of materials. After that, you will need to purchase the materials yourself," Greedy Wolf Number Six said.

"Thank you, Lord Greedy Wolf," Li Changsheng said gratefully.

Afterward.

Greedy Wolf Number Six left, only returning after a while to give him the formula for Demon Merging Secret Medicine and three portions of materials.

"The Evil Demon Society truly is generous!" Li Changsheng remarked.

Over the following days, he began studying the Demon Merging Secret Medicine.

"The refinement process for this Demon Merging Secret Medicine is indeed somewhat dangerous, but it poses no difficulty for me. I can refine it with ease. If I refine it for a few more days, I should be able to exchange for another High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art!"

After that, he began refining Demon Merging Secret Medicine. He refined it with ease, producing portion after portion of Demon Merging Secret Medicine.

Half a month later.

He contacted Greedy Wolf Number Six once more and took out some of the Demon Merging Secret Medicine.

"You truly refined Demon Merging Secret Medicine?" Greedy Wolf Number Six was greatly shocked. "You are actually an Alchemist too!!!!!"

"I merely happen to have some talent in this area," Li Changsheng explained.

"Very good. Work hard. In the future, your status may even surpass mine!" Greedy Wolf Number Six said.

"Lord Greedy Wolf, can the merit I have accumulated this time be exchanged for another High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art? The Iron Cloth Shirt I cultivated last time does not seem very suitable for me. I want to exchange for another High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art!" Li Changsheng said.

"Not suitable for you?"

Greedy Wolf Number Six sneered inwardly. He simply thought Li Changsheng's talent was insufficient and that he could not cultivate Iron Cloth Shirt, which was perfectly reasonable. After all, it was a High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art. Very few people could cultivate it successfully in the first place.

However, he did not explain. It would be even better if Li Changsheng could not cultivate it.

"Fine, I will find you another High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art. Do you have any specific requirements?" Greedy Wolf Number Six asked.

"This time, I still want a High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art that polishes the entire body," Li Changsheng said.
