Yinshan Record

Chapter 775 Human Calculation: What is the Sacrifice?

The Lingyu Hall has changed. Pale eerie flames have been ignited on the walls, and the once neatly arranged books have been rearranged.

In the very center stands a huge three-legged bronze alchemy furnace, the outer wall of which is engraved with cloud and thunder patterns and long-bodied, curled-tailed kui dragon patterns.

Countless banners fell from the top of the palace, decorated with patterns of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the stars in the sky.

Su Che, dressed in white with disheveled hair, stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him, holding an ancient silk scroll in his hand, many of the seal characters on it already blurred.

Squeak.

The bronze gate slowly opened, and Sun Cheng squeezed through the tall bronze gate, carefully avoiding the hanging banners as he cautiously made his way inside.

"Sir, I'm back."

Sun Cheng lowered his head, not daring to look at the figure above.

Last time he peeked at Su Che refining pills, he only glanced at him briefly, but his eyes felt as if they had been gouged out by a sharp blade, and he didn't recover for more than half an hour.

This alchemist's methods are so extraordinary that they are beyond my comprehension.

"Have they made a move?"

Su Che put the silk scroll aside and looked at the flames rising beneath the alchemy furnace.

"Some people say that the materials the gentleman needs can be gathered within five days."

"So fast?"

Su Che was also curious after hearing this.

He was testing the waters with the materials on that list; there were dozens of items, but only a few were actually needed.

Surprisingly, someone within the Eternal Life Sect actually agreed.

"Yes, he said that as long as the Five Dragons Lock Pill appears here in the future, it will all belong to him..."

So you agreed?

Su Che looked down at Sun Cheng.

"Yes, this disciple dares to accept."

"It was indeed audacious."

"If you are not satisfied, sir, I will simply refuse you."

"Aren't you afraid they'll bring you bad luck? That's Hanako-ryu's business."

"Sir, there's no need for you to make a statement. I will handle everything with them. Once it's done, just say that I acted on my own initiative and that I will take full responsibility. No matter what punishment I receive, I will have no complaints."

"That's the chief of the Eight Great Families, aren't you afraid of their retaliation?"

"There is not much I can do for you, Master."

Sun Cheng kowtowed below and said, "Sir, you have shown me great kindness and I am willing to repay you."

Su Che stood up and looked at Sun Cheng below.

At this moment, the disciple of the Longevity Sect was kneeling on the ground, trembling as if he were being shaken.

Is this trembling due to fear or joy?

"You think you're very smart, don't you?"

"gentlemen……"

"You've already thought of what to say."

Su Che looked at the young people below.

"If I go back on my word, will Hanako-ryu believe that you acted on your own? Besides, whether I go back on my word or not, can't you still borrow my power? It's okay to borrow the tiger's power, but it's not okay to negotiate with the tiger for its skin. As for punishment, if I really go back on my word, watching them trample on you is also trampling on my face."

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng trembled even more and lowered his head.

"This disciple is utterly sincere and has absolutely no such intentions..."

"Even if you have the intention, you can't admit it. If you do, it's a dead end."

Su Che tossed a pill downwards.

"Eat it."

Sun Cheng picked up the pill, his hands trembling with fear.

The pill had an unnatural crimson color, and upon closer inspection, it even seemed to be moving on its own.

Indeed, this pill seems to be still moving. "Sir."

"After you take this pill, go and tell the man surnamed Wen that all future Five Dragons Locking Pills will be shipped from them."

Su Che said.

"It's normal for people to have their own plans, just don't try to be clever here."

With a heavy heart, Sun Cheng swallowed the still slightly pulsating pill.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, Sun Cheng felt a warm sensation suddenly emanating from the Niwan Palace on the top of his head. The warmth flowed through his limbs and bones, making him feel extremely comfortable.

This is……

The Longevity Cult originated from the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) but turned to the demonic path, so it still retains some of the Xuanmen's foundation.

Sun Cheng could sense the life force emanating from his own Purple Mansion.

What an amazing pill!

While Sun Cheng was still comprehending, he heard the Yang Marrow give another instruction.

"Just back off."

Su Che smiled slightly at him.

"If Master needs something, wouldn't it be a shame if I'm not by his side to help him?"

"You'll know when I contact you."

Sun Cheng looked at Su Che's gleaming white teeth and felt a chill run down his spine.

The bronze gate closed again.

Su Che gazed at the alchemy furnace before him.

In the past few days, various factions within the Changsheng Sect have been constantly probing their own side.

However, Su Che didn't care.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. That's all there is to it.

In the past few days, Su Che has not been entirely without gains.

Looking down, Su Che saw a beautiful body covered in twisted demonic patterns. He stretched out his finger and slowly traced the patterns on the body.

Su Che gazed at the alchemy furnace in front of him, thinking that in a while, he might reap even greater rewards.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the banners arranged inside the palace fluttered together, flying out horizontally like a star slowly rotating around the alchemy furnace.

Su Che raised his hands and began to slowly dance.

Without any magical power or any alteration, it danced like a mortal dancer, following an inexplicable rhythm.

Dark shadows were pulled out from Su Che's body in rhythm with his movements.

Like a wisp of fog that cannot be detected...

Su Che looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him as if he were worshipping and praising it.

This is the true essence of the dance, a praise of the transcendent method that Su Che deciphered from the Heavenly Demon script.

The dance was like a beautiful bait, but what it caught was not a big fish, but the Heavenly Demon Sea that had already become one with Ruomu.

This dance, which aligns with the primordial sacred way, is just like the ritual presided over by Ma Qi, and it resonates with the heavenly demons.

As the lowest level of existence in the Primordial Sacred Path, they will inevitably undergo changes in this resonance.

That change was a natural tremor within the Heavenly Demon Sea of ​​Impurity, an impulse naturally generated by certain Heavenly Demons who sensed the resonance.

At this point, Su Che can separate them from the Dao Foundation, and then he can begin the second step.

Four ghostly figures emerged from Su Che's body; they were the scattered Heavenly Demons.

These celestial demons had long been starving in the Earthly Official Immortal Palace, and there was no basis for their existence in this world.

All that awaited them was annihilation, and at that moment, Su Che made another move.

The sword intent of creation flew out like a net, sending them all into the alchemy furnace.

Refining Saints.

Like an ancient priest, Su Che stepped out of the Heavenly Demon's dance and into another ritual.
