To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

"The Demon-Refining Pot?"

Upon hearing Tuoba Zhao's words, both Qi Zongyuan and Wang Bairen were shocked.

The three rulers of Wei each bore their own responsibilities.

The Lingxiao Sect confronts the demon race in the Cloud Mist Sea, while also guarding against the Western Continent sects across the sea.

The Hundred Refinements Sect guards the Abyss of Fallen Souls and frequently clashes with the Yan Kingdom in the north.

The reason why the Hualing Sect is located in the desolate mountains to deal with the demons in the mountains is not only because of its cultivation techniques, but also because the Demon Refining Pot plays a significant role in it.

The Demon Refining Pot is a treasure passed down from ancient times. It contains a cave world within it. If a demon is thrown into it and activated, the demon can be refined into a Qi-nourishing pill.

Although the spiritual energy of Qionghua Realm is gradually declining, and the Hualing Sect has many disciples, there are still enough pills available, thanks in no small part to the Demon Refining Pot.

Of course, the Demon Refining Pot is not without its flaws.

Just as a storage bag cannot be put into another storage bag, the Demon Refining Pot, as a magical treasure containing a cave heaven, cannot be stored in the body or put into a storage bag.

Therefore, the Hualing Sect built a grand hall and dispatched Golden Core elders and Foundation Establishment disciples to guard it day and night.

"Is this why the demon race is acting strangely today?" Qi Zongyuan immediately realized.

Tuoba Zhao nodded slowly, and said with great sorrow, "Taking advantage of the sect's weakness, a traitor destroyed the mountain-protecting formation. Elder Yuan had no choice but to take action, leaving a few Foundation Establishment disciples to guard the Demon Refining Pot."

"I just checked the corpses left on the spot. One disciple is missing. It must have been him who ambushed the other two guarding disciples, opened the barrier, and stole the Demon Refining Pot."

"This... the demon race went to such lengths just to seize the Demon Refining Pot, and they also want to consume pills?" Wang Bairen asked with a frown.

To produce pills, the Demon Refining Pot requires the input of demonic beasts, which must be alive.

This is something that humans can do, but demons may not be able to.

On the one hand, the pills produced by the Demon Refining Pot are not of high grade. They are fine for cultivating Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples, but once they reach the third grade, it is far more difficult to improve their strength than simply taking pills.

On the other hand, refining demons also incurs considerable losses. Even if demons are not as particular as humans and can accept cannibalism, it is still a losing proposition for them.

Tuoba Zhao shook his head and sighed, "This matter is not so simple. Fellow Daoist should also know about the art of demon transformation."

Qi Zongyuan's brow twitched: "Could the demon transformation technique be related to the Demon Refining Pot?"

"Exactly!"

Now that things have come to this, Tuoba Zhao has nothing left to hide. The Hualing Sect has suffered such a calamity and will inevitably seek help from the two sects in the future, so he simply tells them everything.

"There is only one Demon Refining Pot after all. Its crafting technique is extremely sophisticated, and it has miraculous effects on demons. Our sect has long had the idea of ​​replicating it. However, replicating ancient treasures is extremely difficult, and most of our predecessors have failed."

"Until a genius in the sect found a new way to understand how to refine demon blood. He unexpectedly discovered that the demon bloodline could be refined through the Demon Refining Pot and created a secret technique. By refining demon blood into the body using this method, one can change their physique."

"This secret technique, after several improvements, became known as the Demon Transformation Technique."

"Initially, the sect was overjoyed at the emergence of the demon transformation technique. Although some demon transformation symptoms would appear, the method of spirit transformation was meant to transform into a true spirit. Demon transformation was only seen as a transitional state. Moreover, after demon transformation, the connection with the true spirit was indeed closer, and cultivation steadily increased."

As Tuoba Zhao spoke, regret was evident in his eyes.

"You two know what happened later. Because the demonization technique distorted minds, fratricide occurred within the sect. From then on, the demonization technique was listed as a forbidden technique."

"Since I took over as sect leader, I have strictly prohibited the practice of demonic transformation techniques. This has even been spread by some people as a way to eliminate dissidents. I never expected that three Golden Core elders would violate the sect rules and even go so far as to collude with the demon race."

Set it as your homepage to receive daily updates of works such as "Understanding All Laws and Achieving Immortality".

Upon hearing this, Wang Bairen and Qi Zongyuan could no longer remain calm.

"You mean, the demon race might be able to refine their bloodlines using the Demon Refining Pot?" Wang Bairen asked loudly.

"Not bad." Tuoba Zhao nodded with his brows furrowed and his eyes closed.

Now the two of them realized that this matter was of utmost importance.

As is well known, the cultivation of demons places great importance on lineage; the purer the bloodline, the higher the talent.

If the demon race can refine their bloodline using the Demon Refining Pot, they can continuously cultivate high-level demon beasts, which is definitely not good news for the three sects of Wei.

Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, Tuoba Zhao added, "However, the effects of refining bloodlines are more pronounced on lower-level demonic beasts. As for higher-level demonic beasts... we haven't tried it."

Qi Zongyuan said with a wry smile, "Even if a fourth-order demon king refines its bloodline, it's not a problem. After all, the spiritual energy concentration in this realm is already insufficient to support cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage. The real fear is that the demon race will produce a few more demon kings in human form."

"Then we have no choice but to take action. Kill as many as we can!" Wang Bairen said menacingly.

Qi Zongyuan slowly shook his head: "This matter needs to be considered carefully. We need to deal with the Yan Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, and even the Chen Kingdom and the monsters of the Cloud Mist Sea. The most urgent task is to rebuild the Spirit Transformation Gate to prevent the monsters from invading."

The three sect leaders discussed the matter for a long time until a disciple reported that the disciples who had gone to participate in the martial arts battle had returned.

......

Gu Fan and the others returned to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain aboard the magic boat.

According to the rules of the martial arts competition, there should have been a check on the number of dominoes after the competition, but due to the dramatic changes that befell the Hualing Sect, the subsequent steps were canceled.

With several Lingxiao Sect disciples killed in the fight, the group lost interest in conversation and fell silent.

The disciples of the Hualing Sect were even more distressed, as the sect had suffered a drastic change, and all of them wore expressions of worry.

When the Dharma Boat arrived at the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, this worry turned into grief.

The sect that had been cultivating for many years was in ruins, and acquaintances had died tragically in the belly of demonic beasts. Even though cultivators should be indifferent to life and death, it still broke their hearts.

Upon seeing this scene, Cai Xuan and the other female cultivators immediately covered their mouths and began to sob.

The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect and the Bailian Sect also remained silent in mourning.

As soon as Gu Fan and the others disembarked from the magic boat, they were informed that they would soon be returning to the Lingxiao Sect.

The three Dharma assemblies ended hastily, and the rankings were still unknown. Amidst the disciples' thoughts, the Cloud Dream Boat slowly set sail, returning to Cloud Realm Mountain.

However, Gu Fan noticed that only the Lingxiao Sect's leader, Qi Zongyuan, boarded the Yunmeng Ship, while the three Golden Core elders who accompanied him remained at Wanshou Mountain, presumably with other arrangements.

The Hundred Refinements Sect simply left Dragon Horn Peak at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, with only Wang Bairen leading his disciples back on the Dharma Boat.

Looking down from above the clouds, one could see thousands of disciples of the Spirit Transformation Sect scurrying about like ants, collecting the corpses of their fellow disciples, repairing the dilapidated mountain gate, and rearranging the protective array.

An invisible atmosphere was spreading, a harbinger of an impending storm.

......

Several days later, Yunmengzhou arrived at Yunjie Mountain.

Jiang Wanxun, the Foundation Establishment elder who had previously guided everyone, immediately announced that all disciples had performed exceptionally well at this Dharma Assembly, and the sect had decided to award each disciple one thousand merit points and allow everyone to choose one item from the inner sect's treasure vault.

The winner of the literary contest may choose an additional item.

Gu Fan's heart stirred upon hearing about the reward for the literary contest.

"I'm the undisputed champion of both talismanic arts and weapon crafting, plus the martial arts arena... doesn't that mean I can choose three things?"

When he looked up and saw that Jiang Wanxun was also looking at him and nodding slightly, he immediately understood.

"These rules are clearly made for me!"
