Chapter 480: Heavenly Devil Curse
"Your precious medicine is extremely effective. It is best to have it diluted and mixed by the Medicine Stone Department before giving it to ordinary ghosts."
"But there are nearly 6,000 auxiliary troops in Qiandeng City, and I'm worried that the materials you have stored are not enough." Shen Yan expressed his concern.
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Chen Mu thought about it and shook his head.
Huiyuan Soup has two ingredients: one is the meat of exotic animals, and the other is various medicinal herbs.
The meat of exotic beasts is easy to get. The blood sea of the Netherworld is boundless, and there are countless exotic beasts and monsters inside, which can be used as a substitute.
As for the medicinal materials...
Based on Chen Mu's many years of experience in refining and using medicine, those medicinal herbs are just auxiliary, in order to make Huiyuan Soup gentle and delicate, making it more suitable for his own consumption.
What is suitable for Chen Mu may not be suitable for others, not to mention that it is now for use by evil spirits.
……
In the small courtyard, Shen Yan manipulated a ball of Wangchuan River water as big as a dining table to float in the air. Then he attracted the black Nine Nether Blue Flame, and soon the clear river water was bubbling.
Chen Mu took out a piece of multi-headed dragon meat as big as a suitcase and put it in. When the white meat became loose, he activated the Seven-Turn Feast Yuan Mantra.
Drops of dark red liquid flew up, gathered into a fist-sized ball, and fell into the wooden cup that had been prepared long ago.
"It's darker in color, has a muddier flavor, and the energy it contains is more violent."
"Sure enough, those medicinal herbs are meant to make the Huiyuan Soup more suitable for my consumption. They are not something that the Seven-Turn Xiangyuan Mantra originally possesses, but are provided as an extra by my cooking skills." Chen Mu turned around and handed the wooden cup to a gloomy middle-aged man beside him.
This man was tall and thin, wearing a black robe. His name was Pu Lu, and he was the auxiliary soldier he rescued from Youzi.
He originally belonged to the Medicine Department and was proficient in refining precious medicines and decoctions. It was he who formulated the treatment plan of boiling Chen Mu in the pot.
He is a ruthless person.
"The purity is comparable to that of a prepared refreshing soup, and the density of vital energy..." Pu Lu's nose twitched, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "At least five times that of the refreshing soup!"
"So, it's useful?"
"Very useful!" Pu Lu nodded vigorously.
Chen Mu understood.
Without the problem of medicinal materials, the only thing he needed to consider was whether he had enough exotic beast meat and magic power.
The meat of exotic animals was the easiest to deal with. He had secretly stored the corpses of many dragons in the Youzi Camp, and it was just the right time to use it. Even if it was all consumed, he could go hunting in the Nether Demon Heaven to replenish it.
When he ran out of mana and fell into the water, he had seen a group of strange fish with jagged teeth in their mouths. At that time, those guys rushed towards him aggressively, and it was obvious that they regarded him as food.
"Hehe! When I regain my true form as a celestial demon, I will turn you into food first!"
In comparison, the mana is somewhat insufficient.
The Seven-Turn Feast Yuan Mantra requires magic power to cast. If he wants to restore his magic power, he can only rely on the white jade coins.
Qiandeng City cannot use the exquisite jade plate. In order to recover from the injury as soon as possible, he directly extracted the vitality from the white jade coin. But that was because the injury was urgent, and he would not dare to do so in the future.
"I have a total of four thousand left. I have to spend it carefully." Chen Mu calculated silently.
"It is better to leave Qiandeng City and use the exquisite jade plate to make the most efficient use of the white jade money."
……
During the days that Chen Mu was recuperating from his injuries, the one or two thousand auxiliary soldiers he brought from the You Camp had been settled by Shen Yan.
Most of them were crammed into previously built wooden buildings. Those who could not fit in were first moved into a temporary clay bungalow camp.
Fortunately, some earth was secretly dug into Qiandeng City to fill the foundation. It was with these earth and rocks that the bungalow camp was built, otherwise the small wooden building would be even more crowded.
Shen Yan also divided the evil spirits in Qiandeng City. According to the regulations of the auxiliary military camp, about three hundred people formed a flag, and each flag selected a general flag.
It was divided into four parts according to its original affiliation: Caiyuan, Huangquan, Gongzao and Yanxing, and each part was managed by a general with outstanding strength.
After all, he was a former military supervisor who easily commanded five or six thousand Yin spirits, which made Chen Mu, a country bumpkin, admire him very much.
"Don't forget to improve the skills of the auxiliary soldiers." Chen Mu reminded, as this was related to whether their return to the underworld would be safe and smooth.
"Each flag has already counted their ages and talents." Shen Yan patiently explained: "Long-lived Yin spirits are different from newly born Yin spirits, and those with good talents are different from those with poor talents. They cannot be required to practice according to the same standard."
"Yes, yes, yes. Although the Three Yin Phosphorus Fire is milder than the Nine Nether Blue Flame, it will still burn the origin."
"You have to proceed step by step, combine work and rest, and don't just force yourself to practice."
Chen Mu agreed, thought about it, and gave his opinion seriously: "There are twelve hours in a day, and we should at least leave them half an hour to sleep."
Shen Yan: "..."
Fortunately, you have the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, otherwise those evil spirits in Qiandeng City would have eaten you alive sooner or later, you bastard!
……
In the following days, the entire Qiandeng City became busy.
Although Chen Mu hopes that the auxiliary ghosts can transform into cultivation maniacs and stay up late every day to cultivate immortality.
But Shen Yan obviously did not intend to do so. If he really arranged it that way, he would probably be turned into ashes before they could develop the ghost patterns.
He still followed the previous plan and divided the groups into five large groups according to their age and talents. He arranged different training times and frequencies for each group, trying to ensure the fastest training speed.
Chen Mu smacked his lips and strolled around Qiandeng City with his hands behind his back like a local rich man, looking at the busy spirits practicing as if he was examining his tenants and spiritual fields.
"Alas, people as hardworking as me are still too rare." Chen Mu expressed regret for Shen Yan's work arrangement. After that, he held a cup of Huiyuan soup and lay comfortably in his rocking chair.
"You'd better have some shame!" Shen Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Besides, you only give me a little Hui Yuan Tang every day, which is not enough to fill me up. How can you expect me to practice for a whole day?"
"It's like asking your soldiers to fight for their lives without paying them. Fortunately, you are not the commander of an army, otherwise your soldiers would definitely mutiny."
"Old Shen, you are already a mature military supervisor. You have to learn to find solutions on your own." Chen Mu teased with a smile.
"Then you come?!" Shen Yan glared.
Chen Mu coughed twice and closed his eyes, pretending not to hear anything.
He didn't have the ability to manage five or six thousand ghosts, that would be too tiring. If he had that much time, he might as well figure out how to gain experience.
More than half a month has passed, and the injuries of the flesh and blood body have long since recovered.
The vitality of the true form of the celestial demon in the secret cavity became more and more vigorous, and he felt that it would return to normal in the next two days.
Once the ghost's body recovers, you can continue to practice secret techniques such as the Huangquan Yinyumen Curse.
……
Three nights later, the light from the ten soul-guiding lamps above the thousand lanterns was cool and dim, like moonlight.
Chen Mu was sleeping soundly on the top floor of the small building.
At a certain moment, the center of his eyebrows suddenly began to beat, and a jade-white round bead flew out from the center of his eyebrows, immediately emitting light, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.
Chen Mu woke up with a start, turned around and saw himself sleeping soundly on the bed.
He instinctively raised his hand to touch his head, and immediately he touched a smooth head. The ghost body finally appeared again.
Looking through his tattered clothes, there was no trace of injury on his body. After being seriously injured for more than twenty days, the celestial demon finally recovered completely.
"I'm afraid there's more to it than that." As he thought about it, a walnut-sized round bead divine fetus floated before his eyes.
It still looks so smooth and round, emitting a warm white light.
But before that, it was a visual illusion caused by the fluorescence. If you look closely, you can find that its surface is bumpy and the inside is empty.
Now the entire surface of the bead has been completely filled with silver silk thread, and it looks like a jade-white, round pearl.
Moreover, the emptiness inside was filled up a little, without the previous emptiness, and with a five-point more stable feeling like a ballast stone.
"Those more than 100,000 auxiliary troops probably suffered heavy casualties." Chen Mu sighed inwardly.
It was precisely because of the death of a large number of auxiliary soldiers that the demon spirit seeds planted in his body returned, which allowed the divine fetus to be greatly perfected.
Not only did it save him several years of hard work, it also brought him an unexpected surprise.
Chen Mu held the divine round bead in his hand, carefully pondering a strange spell that emerged in his mind.
"The Devil's Curse?"
"Recite the mantra silently and lead the spirit seed into the body, then you can change your fundamental incarnation into a demon, gain great supernatural powers and enjoy great freedom?"
Is it so scary?
Chen Mu looked strange.
This Cloud Mirage Sky Demon's other abilities were poor, but his ability to brag was really great. If he hadn't known what the Sky Demon Spirit Seed was, he would have almost believed it!
"However, the devil seems to be not serious at first glance, so it is understandable that he would make up a few lies to fool people."
"The content about the Devil's Freedom is definitely not true, but the ability to help people relax and assist the spirit seed parasitism is not necessarily false."
Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.
"Old Ghost Shen, your good days are coming!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 481 Evil Sect
In Qiandeng City.
Shen Yan whispered a series of spells with a slow rhythm and melodious tone.
Chen Mu listened from the side and felt as if he was listening to a group of monks chanting. It actually gave him a sense of ease and happiness, and he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.
After a long while, just when Chen Mu was about to fall asleep in the rocking chair, Shen Yan stopped reciting.
"How?" Chen Mu immediately opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yan excitedly.
"I've experienced it carefully." Shen Yan's face was solemn: "It can help you sleep!"
Chen Mu: “…”
Is this what I meant?!
Shen Yan shrugged cheerfully: "I told you, my divine fetus is perfect, and my soul is flawless."
