Harvest

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Watching the skeleton burn to ashes, the brother and sister looked at each other in silence.

Whether it's the remaining chapters of the sorcery that may exist, or the Demon King Chenghuang, both methods can only do their best and have no end in sight.

"Brother, don't worry too much. You've done your best," Ye Ling comforted him. "His Highness won't blame you if he finds out."

"It's not that I'm afraid of being blamed by anyone, but I'm worried about Qing Jun's situation." Qin Yi sighed softly, "Southern Li's current situation is very serious. I don't even dare to speculate on what the outcome would be if I returned empty-handed."

Ye Ling said, "Then brother will come with me into the Demon City."

As she said this, a hint of joy seemed to appear in her big eyes. Qin Yi noticed her little thought and patted her head, "Sharpening the axe won't delay the work. The Demon City is not a safe place. We can't trust what that Azure Hawk says too much. We still need to be prepared before we go."

Ye Ling asked curiously, "What preparations?"

"Our own strength is always the best preparation," Qin Yi said. "We've gained a lot this time, so we should digest it before we go again."

Ye Ling then took out a medicine bottle. "The blood essence is here."

"Keep it. This demon blood essence is for helping you break through to the Core Condensation Stage, not for now." Qin Yi turned to look at the stone house and pondered, "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a place for alchemy here. You should digest the dragon bloodline first, and I'll go refine a batch of Blood Lotus Pill."

Ye Ling looked up at Qin Yi, her expression slightly complicated.

The essence of demon blood is actually the true meaning of that Demon Refining Array. It is a condensation of the blood of countless demons, and only this single drop of essence has been extracted. Originally, it was meant to help the Blood Flood Dragon advance from the peak of the Transformation stage to the Core Condensation Stage. If this were to be brought to the Demon City, countless demons would dream of it, and its value would be immeasurable.

For a "Fangshi" skilled in alchemy, the function was certainly not limited to helping demons break through their limits; there were far too many uses for it. But Qin Yi didn't even look at it and tacitly allowed her to use it.

In fact, up to this point, she has enjoyed all the good things from this trip. The demonic python's bloodline cleansed her body, leaving behind the essence of her demonic blood; even the Blood Lotus Pill that Qin Yi is currently refining will definitely contain a portion of it. Compared to her, what Qin Yi himself has received is far too little.

Qin Yi, however, looked completely at ease.

She didn't say much, sniffed, and whispered, "Then I'll go cultivate."

Ye Ling knew that her rapid breakthroughs had weakened her foundation. Furthermore, the process of cleansing her body with demonic blood was passive; she hadn't had time to properly guide her cultivation and fuse her bloodline. Qin Yi was right; at this moment, the most important thing for her was to cultivate.

With each increase in cultivation, the voice in the Demon City becomes louder.

In the world of demons, there are not as many morals and rules as in humans. The Principle for demons.

The stone house was large, with many rooms. Ye Ling randomly chose one to go in and cultivate, while Qin Yi also planned to look for a medicinal herb room or an alchemy room.

The fire on the ground went out, and a jade-colored hue stood out conspicuously among the ashes. Qin Yi picked it up and saw that it was a ring.

He was somewhat surprised. Ye Ling's fire was no ordinary fire; it could burn a skeleton to ashes in no time. Yet this ring remained completely undamaged in Ye Ling's fire. The material must be very special...

Liusu's voice came. "Mustard Seed Subsumes Mount Sumeru; this is Storage Ring."

Qin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had long found it inconvenient to carry around all sorts of medicine bottles and talismans. The peaches he had just gotten were making his arms bulge. He had thought about the Storage Ring that everyone in the fantasy world had more than once...

Unexpectedly, it came so easily; this Witcher was squatting on a desolate mountain where even birds wouldn't bother, actually had such a good thing!

After sensing for a while, Liusu smiled and said, "This ring has no restrictions, so it's fine. Try using the telepathic transmission method I taught you to probe the ring with your spirit."

Qin Yi tried to send his thoughts into it.

The details inside the ring are clearly visible.

The space was only about one cubic meter, not very big, and it was empty except for one thing lying in the corner, which looked very conspicuous.

It was a token carved from bone.

With a thought, Qin Yi obtained the token. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was engraved with a ferocious tiger with its fangs bared.

"What is this thing?" He turned it over and over, but couldn't see any Law Power in the token, and had no idea what it was for. His personal Storage Ring was completely empty, except for this useless thing...

"He probably carries around a lot of witchcraft Law Artifact; he must have run out of supplies in the previous battle," Liusu said. "This token might be something that identifies him..."

Qin Yi paused for a moment, then seemed to understand.

This is a desolate mountain. To the west lies a dangerous area marked on the map, the details of which are unknown. To the east lies the Demon City.

This Witcher certainly wouldn't dare enter the Demon City, nor does he have the strength to venture into the perilous western lands. Alone in the desolate mountains, resources are scarce; where would he get the various array-setting materials, the Soul-Seizing Essence Metal, and the Storage Ring?

There must be someone supporting him behind the scenes.

Or perhaps someone in the dangerous western region sent him to lead the charge in order to break through the Demon City.

Either one of the demon kings in the Demon City is secretly supporting him... In any case, it can't be Chenghuang. This Witcher is full of malice towards Chenghuang and even wants to instigate me to deal with Chenghuang.

Either way, it can be given as a gift to the Demon King Chenghuang.

Qin Yi put on the ring and put the token away.

Reminded by the ring, he was no longer in a hurry to go into the medicine room. Instead, he searched the ruins to see if there were any other survivors.

Soon, a mirror was seen lying in the corner, its surface cracked.

"The Mirror of Divine Sight, this isn't witchcraft, it's a cultivator's artifact crafting technique." Liusu became interested. "As long as you make the necessary arrangements, you can see everything happening in the area you've set up in the mirror. This is for cultivators whose Divine Sense hasn't yet been released. It can also be used to monitor the outside world from within cave abode. It's perfect for you too. The damage can be repaired, keep it."

This is why the Witcher, even alone atop the mountain, could accurately grasp everything happening there and precisely send the peach flying towards Ye Ling's head. Qin Yi also found it useful and put it away. After searching again, he could only see many damaged Array Stone, which gave him an idea of the intensity of the battle. He wondered just how powerful this formidable attacker was.

"This powerful figure..." Qin Yi weighed a piece of Array Stone cracked into seven or eight pieces, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you think it might be Chenghuang?"

Liusu Su hummed in agreement. "Very likely. This Witcher was slaughtering monsters right under its nose and was even trying to refine it with malicious intent. If it were me, I couldn't tolerate it."

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Regardless of whether it's Chenghuang or not, do you think... this person could be Cheng Cheng?"

To be honest, Qin Yi had suspected this for a long time. The Cheng Cheng when Chengcheng fell off the mountain should have been around the time when the enemy came to fight the Witcher. What a coincidence.

Liusu was clearly also considering this matter, and said, "It is indeed a coincidence, but I cannot confirm it. If it really was a case of this powerful person and the Witcher fighting to the death, resulting in a temporary loss of strength, then Cheng Cheng should be seriously injured. But she is not injured; instead, her face is covered in bloodstains from rolling down the mountain."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then shook his head, clearly puzzled as well, as this did not make sense.

"Never mind, I should know when I see Cheng Cheng again after entering the Demon City..." Qin Yi circled around but found nothing, so he walked inside, hoping to find the medicine room.

He casually pushed open a door, and the sweltering heat made him take a step back. Liusu's voice rang out. "The Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire... Qin Yi, this may be your greatest gain from this trip."
