Sandrew's Request

As soon as the meeting ended, Li Ziran teleported straight back to Hippo Ancient City.

This business could be considered Li Ziran's first official participation in a collective operation.

Unlike what he had expected, Shadow Elder was wildly ambitious. He was not merely cultivating a single Demon Overlord; on the contrary, he planned to turn it into a factory.

Demon Overlords produced industrially would be somewhat weaker than those cultivated individually, but their strength lay in their numbers. Such trades could often be exchanged for a considerable amount of Soul Plasma.

This sent Li Ziran a very clear signal: demons had enormous demand in this area.

Within this trade chain, Li Ziran also needed to consider how he should position himself.

Simply gestating a Demon Embryo was not difficult for him. As long as he had sufficient internal organs, he could ensure the womb's normal development according to his system. But factory-scale production and individual cultivation were entirely different concepts.

There could never be enough internal organs to supply every embryo, which meant the quality of Demon Embryos would decline. Moreover, without altering his own cultivation principles, Li Ziran had to help the factory develop a cost-effective combination of organs.

Shadow Elder did not want him involved in production, only to provide technical support.

That was a real headache.

He did not even want to teach Daniel, much less these unrelated Witch Doctors.

Yet he had no choice but to impart some knowledge. He needed to think
