Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 3: One Hundred Years of Cultivation
Early the next morning.

The fat boy and the thin boy came to the beast taming room, extracted the snake demon, scorpion demon, gecko demon, centipede demon and Xiao Chen, and went straight to the alchemy furnace.

Master Xuankong had already changed into a brand new Taoist robe and burned incense to the golden-armored general in the hall.

He held a whisk in his hand, sitting quietly in the alchemy room waiting. When he saw that all five poisonous beasts were present, there was an irrepressible joy in his eyes.

The Five Poisons Elixir is the best among all elixirs. The ingredients are extremely difficult to gather. Not only does it require the five poisonous alien beasts, but also five elements elixirs of sufficient age to neutralize the toxins.

Under such harsh conditions, the effect of the Five Poison Pill is extremely significant. One furnace of the Five Poison Pill is enough to improve a cultivator's cultivation by a hundred years, which is equivalent to his hundred years of hard practice.

"Open the alchemy furnace and release the five poisons. Today, I will let the five poisons eat each other, and then use the five poisonous spirits to refine my Five Poisons Elixir!"

Master Xuankong laughed heartily, in a very good mood. He slapped the alchemy furnace, and the lid of the furnace rose into the air.

The fat boy opened the iron cages one by one. The snake monsters, scorpion monsters and others knew that this was their last chance, and they all ran away.

"Hmph, you are a bunch of evil beasts! You are so stubborn and stubborn. I have wasted a year raising you!"

Master Xuankong had a cold look in his eyes. He snorted coldly, and the whisk in his hand suddenly grew longer and bigger, dragging the five monsters into the alchemy furnace.

Xiao Chen had no chance to resist and was thrown into the alchemy furnace.

Five seconds after touching the alchemy furnace, Xiao Chen heard the familiar "ding, ding, ding" sound of improvement in his mind.

Several lines of large golden characters appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Host, I have touched the G-level auxiliary magic weapon Qiankunlu. This treasure can directly refine monsters, spiritual medicines, etc., and turn them into pure spiritual power for the host to absorb. It can also provide high-temperature pill fire. Do you want to scan and copy it?"

Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised. As he expected, this alchemy furnace was indeed a magic weapon! This time, he already had experience, so he responded decisively: "Scan and copy!"

……

"Qiankun furnace, scanning and copying has been completed, host, please choose the fusion organ."

……

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment. Originally, the stomach was the most suitable place, but after integrating it with the beast-taming bag, he decided to use the intestines, which would be just right for one-stop digestion and absorption.

Xiao Chen responded: "Intestinal fusion."

As Xiao Chen finished speaking, not long after, Xiao Chen felt a warm current flowing through his intestines, and his intestines had undergone a wonderful change.

"The host's intestines have been fused into this G-level auxiliary magic weapon, Qiankun Furnace."

……

"At the same time, your cultivation level will increase by five years."

……

At this time, Xiao Chen already had thirty years of Taoism practice. His body had become as big as a washbasin, his body color had changed from light gold to golden yellow, and the small horns on his forehead had begun to take shape.

The fire under the furnace became more and more vigorous, carrying a violent aura. The snake demon, scorpion demon, gecko demon, and centipede demon were stimulated by this, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they all lost their minds and started attacking each other.

The snake demon among them snaked straight towards Xiao Chen, opened its mouth wide, and bit towards Xiao Chen with its sharp fangs.

The toad was somewhat afraid of poisonous snakes in his bones, and when he saw this venomous snake with forty years of experience biting him, he did so.

Xiao Chen felt a chill in his heart and instinctively wanted to dodge, but suddenly he thought of this.

"What are you afraid of? My stomach and intestines have already turned into a beast-taming bag and a furnace. These monsters with less than a hundred years of cultivation can be directly collected and refined."

Xiao Chen sneered:
"Snake demon, I'll use you to whet my appetite first!"

Xiao Chen opened his sharp mouth, and his stomach moved slightly, activating the function of the "Beast Taming Bag". He swallowed the snake demon into his stomach in one gulp, subduing it directly. At the same time, his stomach secreted strong gastric acid to digest it and enter the intestines.

The intestines activated the function of the "Qiankun Furnace", transforming the snake demon into the purest spiritual power for Xiao Chen to absorb.

Xiao Chen followed the same method and swallowed the scorpion monster, gecko monster, and centipede monster one after another.

During this period, Master Xuankong also lost some extremely precious five-element elixirs such as hundred-year-old fire ginseng, golden grass, rootless duckweed, and earth core potato.

Xiao Chen swallowed them all without thinking twice and put them into his intestines. He used the function of the Qiankun Furnace to transform these elixirs into the purest spiritual power and absorbed them.

After integrating with the Qiankun Furnace, Xiao Chen's body had the same aura as the Qiankun Furnace and was immune to the burning of the Dan Fire. He simply quietly digested this pure spiritual power in the furnace.

Master Xuankong felt the noise in the furnace becoming smaller and smaller, and stroked his beard with satisfaction.

According to the progress, the five poisons will devour each other and die, forming five poisonous spirits. Then the five elements elixir will be used to neutralize their toxicity. After the elixir is refined with fire for 25 days, the elixir will be ready!
A hundred years of cultivation is right before our eyes and is just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Master Xuankong carefully instructed the fat boy who was fanning the fire and the thin boy who was adding fuel to the fire:
"Qingfeng, Huonu, work harder. When this furnace of pills is ready, I will give you one or two."

When the fat boy and the thin boy heard this, they worked even harder.

……

Under the Qiankun furnace, the fire of the elixir continued to burn more and more vigorously. In the Qiankun furnace, Xiao Chen was constantly absorbing the spiritual power of the four poisons and the five elements of spiritual medicine, and his body was further transformed.

Inside and outside the Qiankun furnace, the fat boy was fanning the air with great effort, while the thin boy kept bringing firewood.

Taoist Xuankong was meditating with his eyes closed, looking leisurely, occasionally scolding the fat and thin boy.

……

Twenty-five days later.

Xiao Chen's body has grown to the size of a calf. The materials of the Five Poisons Elixir have been completely absorbed by him, and his Taoism has increased by a hundred years.

At this time, Xiao Chen already had one hundred and thirty-five years of Taoism experience. He could half-transform into a human form and refine the transverse bone in his mouth.

Of course, during the transformation process, he referred a little to Yanzu's appearance.

After swallowing the other four poisons and the five elements elixir, the five poisons and the five elements properties merged into one, and Xiao Chen's venom underwent a qualitative change. The toxicity was dozens of times stronger than before, and it even evolved into a powerful corrosiveness that could corrode steel and break iron.

He named it "Five Elements Strange Poison".

Xiao Chen stared at the furnace cover, motionless, all the poison glands in his body swollen, just waiting for the moment to open the furnace.

The time has come, get ready to start the furnace!
Master Xuankong stopped burning the fire, then flew onto the furnace, slapped the lid, and couldn't wait to take out the elixir.

When the furnace lid was opened, the moment Xiao Chen saw Master Xuankong, he spit out the poisonous mist that he had been holding for days straight into Master Xuankong's face with lightning speed.

"what!"

All I heard was a miserable scream.

Master Xuankong fell straight down and landed heavily on the ground. His eyes were empty with only two holes visible, and it was obvious that he was blind.

"what!"

Black blood flowed from his nose and ears, and he wailed in pain as he held his face, which was mostly corroded.

Xiao Chen kicked his legs hard and jumped out of the alchemy furnace like a golden lightning. He pushed the alchemy furnace over and smashed it towards Master Xuankong's forehead.

The alchemy furnace weighing more than a thousand pounds directly broke Master Xuankong's head, and his brains were all over the floor.

All this happened in a flash. Xiao Chen had been practicing in the furnace for a long time, with all his heart and soul.

The fat and thin boys finally reacted and hurriedly crawled to the armory to get weapons.

Xiao Chen came to Master Xuankong, snatched the whisk from his hand, pulled out the flying sword on his back, and prepared to fight the enemy.

A familiar "ding, ding, ding" sound came from Xiao Chen's mind, and a crisp female prompt voice fell into Xiao Chen's mind.

Xiao Chen looked at the lines of golden characters that appeared in his mind.

"Host, I have touched the G-level control magic weapon Iron Whisk. It is extremely tough, can be soft or hard, and can be controlled freely. It can be up to thirty feet long and has a control and restraint effect. Do you want to copy it?

I have touched the G-level offensive magic weapon, the Red Flame Sword. This sword is made of star iron and can cut hair with a single blow and cut iron like mud. Do you want to copy it?"

Xiao Chen responded decisively: "Scan and copy!"

"Merge the tongue into an iron whisk! Merge the left palm bone into a red flame sword!"

After a dozen breaths, Xiao Chen felt a warm current flowing through his tongue and left metacarpal bone. At the same time, his cultivation level increased by another ten years.

He looked at the fat boy on his left who was attacking him with a black hammer, and the thin boy on his right who was stabbing him with a spear.

Xiao Chen sneered. These two boys had just reached the level of refining essence into qi, which was equivalent to little demons who had just reached a hundred years of cultivation. What could they use to fight him!

"You evil monster! Return my master's life to me!"

The fat boy looked at Xiao Chen angrily, took the sledgehammer, jumped up with all his strength, and smashed it towards Xiao Chen's forehead.

Xiao Chen's eyes were calm. He stuck out his long tongue, which swirled and accurately wrapped around the fat boy's right arm holding the hammer. Then, Xiao Chen swung the Red Flame Sword in his hand to cut off the fat boy's right arm. He then turned around and split the fat boy diagonally into two pieces.

The thin boy was so horrified at the scene that he dropped the spear in his hand and flew away.

"Want to run?"

Xiao Chen revealed his true form, which was actually a golden toad the size of a calf!

Xiao Chen bent his hind legs, gathered strength, then leaped up, shooting out like a spring, crossed the Taoist temple, and flew ten feet away in an instant.

Xiao Chen came to the gate of the Taoist temple and looked coldly at the thin boy who had just run to the gate. He stuck out his tongue, licked his mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

He did not forget that a month ago, he was severely beaten with the thunder stick by this skinny boy and almost became incontinent.
