After traveling to the world of cultivation, I rely on the game system to survive

After Pei Nianyi and his two companions searched the treasure house for medicinal materials, they came out and received a notice from the waiter that all alchemists should gather on the third floor of the tree house because the city lord had something important to announce.

Probably because of the city lord's arrival, the road leading to the third floor of the tree house was guarded by demon soldiers every ten steps.

Because they had a young man leading the way, the demon soldiers on guard let them go upstairs without even looking at them.

The third floor is divided into three areas, each with obvious signs, representing the Winged Tribe, the Beast Tribe and the Water Tribe respectively.

The waiter took Pei Nianyi and the other two straight to the central hall on the third floor. There was no door in the hall, and a white light curtain prevented unauthorized personnel from entering.

The token in the boy's hand flashed with green light, and the light curtain began to appear with layers of light circles, and the white light curtain slowly became transparent.

The waiter bowed and said, "Please come in, my three lords."

Dozens of alchemists of different ages sat on both sides of the hall. The burly middle-aged man at the top was the mayor of Cangling City.

As soon as Pei Nianyi and the other two walked in, the others' gazes were focused on them. There was some subtle scrutiny, but more of it was contempt and disdain.

The Lord of Cangling City frowned and looked at the young man leading the way: "These three little demons are..."

The young man quickly explained respectfully, "Lord City Lord, these three are alchemists who just passed the assessment a month ago!"

Hearing this answer, the Lord of Cangling City waved his hand calmly and said, "Since you are an alchemist who has passed the assessment, please sit down."

The waiter came up to Pei Nianyi and quietly introduced him, "This is the mayor of Cangling City and the alchemist of the Lei Falcon Tribe."

Pei Nianyi and the other two found a seat in a corner and sat down obediently.

"I've gathered everyone here today for one reason," the Lord of Cangling City said solemnly, sitting at the head of the table. "In a month, we'll have to choose someone to serve the former Demon King."

Hearing the former demon king, Pei Nian and the other two looked at each other, then looked away to look at the Lord of Cangling City.

A young alchemist suddenly asked, "Isn't the former Demon King in seclusion? Why is he sending people to serve him?"

The Lord of Cangling City looked at the young alchemist indifferently, "Your Majesty has been seriously injured for many years. He is not in seclusion. He needs the treatment of the demon alchemists every year."

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "Is everything clear?"

The alchemists all sat quietly, not looking around.

The city lord nodded slightly and said, "Invite all the alchemists who have served Your Majesty in the past few years to come and discuss Your Majesty's situation."

Pei Nian frowned slightly. From what the city lord meant, he wanted the alchemists to listen to the experience of their predecessors.

"Is the Lord of Cangling City on the side of the former Demon King?" Su Huaining asked quietly.

Pei Nianyi shook his head hesitantly: "I'm not sure, let's take a look."

Soon, an alchemist stood up and recounted his experiences while serving the previous demon king.

The city lord sat upright at the top, listening to the experiences of the alchemists below.

An elderly alchemist pulled out a jade slip containing records and frowned, saying, "Our findings over the years indicate that there's a strange force within His Majesty's body that's preventing his wounds from healing."

"Furthermore, His Highness's soul has suffered a severe blow and cannot recover. He is unconscious most of the time, so he occasionally hurts those around him and himself, but most of the time he is in a peaceful and harmless state."

"The alchemists who serve His Highness must first protect themselves, secondly, calm His Highness down when he gets angry and hurts others, and finally, find a way to treat his injuries."

After the old alchemist finished speaking, other alchemists who had treated the previous demon king began to teach how to safely stabilize the demon king's emotions, and shared their own experiences in treating injuries.

A young alchemist interrupted another alchemist who was sharing his experience and asked, "Why use Monroe flowers instead of Ice Thistle?"

"Although ice thistle has a calming effect, it conflicts with the medicinal properties of Polygonatum sibiricum. Taking them together will have a counterproductive effect."

These alchemists started talking to each other, sharing their experiences, and gradually the discussion turned into how to treat the disease.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became heated, and the discussion became more intense due to differences in opinions.

Some alchemists rolled up their sleeves and quoted theories from ancient books, while others got red-eyed and threw the herbs on the table and started arguing.

All the alchemists stood up and gathered around the big table, arguing heatedly.

Pei Nianyi and Xia Chen had already consciously stood at the edge.

Only Su Huaining squeezed in among the alchemists, listening to their quarrel with shining eyes.

After arguing for an unknown amount of time, Pei Nianyi and Xia Chen had already fallen asleep exhausted in their chairs. They were woken up by the excited Su Huaining.

"This year, the human race's Medicine Sect will send an alchemist to treat His Majesty the Demon King. Your task is to assist this human alchemist. You will be given three days to prepare, and then you will go to the Demon Capital in three days." The city lord at the top waited until the alchemists finished their debate, and then dropped another important news.

All the demon alchemists present were shocked.

Pei Nianyi and Xia Chen looked at each other with deep surprise in their eyes.

Su Huaining frowned: "When did the Medicine Sect have any contact with the demon race?"

"Those who are not of our race must have different hearts! Can we trust this Medicine Sect's alchemist?" one alchemist questioned. "What if the Medicine Sect's alchemist took advantage of the former Demon King's unconsciousness and killed him?"

The Lord of Cangling City looked at the questioning alchemist calmly and said indifferently, "Then let the human race be buried with you."

Pei Nianyi and the other two suddenly felt that something was wrong. If the alchemist from the Medicine Sect really dared to take action, the demon clan would definitely declare war on the human race regardless of the consequences.

By then, I'm afraid that the evil demons from the outside world will attack the world of cultivation.

"Okay, that's all for today. You guys go back and prepare. We'll set off in three days." City Lord Cang Ling made the final decision, and after he finished speaking, he strode out of the hall.

Pei Nian and the other two did not stay any longer. They walked out of the ancient trees and headed towards the inn in Cangling City.

However, I met an acquaintance at the door of the inn.

The man looked to be about forty years old, wearing a dark green robe, with a haggard face and a slightly sickly look, and his eyes were extremely cold.

He turned his head and glanced at Pei Nianyi and the other two. Seeing that they were three little demons, a trace of obvious disgust appeared in his eyes.

Then he withdrew his gaze and followed the demon cultivator who received him into the inn.

This person is none other than Elder Mingqiong of the Medicine Sect.

"It turns out that the person who came from Yaozong is him!" Xia Chen frowned slightly.

Su Huaining's face also looked a little bad: "It seems that he was seriously injured by Uncle Xie in the battle at the Demon Locking Tower, and he has not recovered yet."

"Let's go back and rest first. We should prepare for tomorrow and discuss it after we get to the Demon City." Pei Nian glanced at the two worried people. "Nothing has been concluded yet, so there's no need to worry too much."

"As the saying goes, there's always a way out when you're in front of a mountain! Don't worry!"
