77: The accumulation of Mohism, nine top-grade spiritual medicines!

Ultimately, Chen De didn't believe he was actually a villain.

Just look at his actions; Chen De had never done anything bad.

One might ask, what villain would act like Chen De?

To call Chen De a villain was simply nonsense, a mere laughingstock.

At this point, Chen De didn't need to stay for the cleanup.

So he left, using the excuse to Feng Zhe that the sect selection was imminent and he needed to return quickly to cultivate.

Before leaving, feeling Feng Zhe's encouraging gaze, Chen De once again fell into deep doubt.

Am I really a villain?

As soon as this thought appeared, Chen De quickly shook his head, startled.

Without evil thoughts, one would not become an evil person.

It seemed that the Heavens were jealous of Chen De's morality and deliberately misled him.

Unfortunately, Chen De's morality was no longer something that ordinary means could shake.

...

City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Chen De rushed back to his room without stopping.

He took out his storage ring and began to count the gains from this trip.

Chen De pulled out a pile of miscellaneous items from the storage ring: Mo family's martial arts techniques, pills, weapons.

There were also some other random things.

These things were completely useless to Chen De.

The truly valuable items were the spirit medicines stored in the storage ring.

There was no need to look at the low-grade and mid-grade spirit medicines; the key was the superior spirit medicine.

In Mo Xuancang's storage ring, there were nine superior spirit medicines.

Nine!

What kind of concept was that?

Even when Chen De had raided the Silver Scale Rhino King's lair, he hadn't obtained so many superior spirit medicines.

Before coming to Tianfeng City, Chen De had only managed to get three superior spirit medicines in total.

And all of them came from the Silver Scale Rhino King.

How was this possible?

The Silver Scale Rhino King controlled such a large resource-producing area like Vortex Forest.

How could it have fewer superior spirit medicines than Mo Xuancang?

This clearly defied common sense.

In reality, there were two reasons for this situation.

The first was related to healing.

Human martial artists had various specialized pills and medicines for healing.

These pills were highly targeted for healing, so human martial artists often didn't have a high demand for spirit medicines when healing.

The Silver Scale Rhino King, however, was different; it didn't have healing pills or similar items.

Except for those spirit medicines specifically used for healing, other spirit medicines weren't very effective for healing.

Each profession had its specialty, and different fields were like different mountains.

Even those healing spirit medicines, due to their lack of specific targeting, might not be the exact type of spirit medicine it needed.

When searching for spirit medicines, what kind of spirit medicine would be obtained was not something the Silver Scale Rhino King could decide.

Therefore, its demand for spirit medicines during healing was a bit higher.

Moreover, the Silver Scale Rhino King was already in the Demon Spirit Realm, and mid-grade and low-grade spirit medicines no longer had such a significant nourishing effect on it.

Furthermore, after Tiger Ren of the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan left, it still had to guard against human martial artists returning.

As well as other demon beasts in the demon beast forests who coveted it.

If it fell into decline, it was very likely that others would take advantage of its misfortune and seize its assets.

At such a time, it could not fall!

So at that time, the Silver Scale Rhino King could only choose to frantically refine superior spirit medicines to heal itself.

Originally, the deficit of these superior spirit medicines could have been compensated by using more mid-grade and low-grade spirit medicines.

But it went out once, and Chen De immediately emptied its lair, leaving it not a single low-grade or mid-grade spirit medicine.

In the short term, such a large deficit, even the Silver Scale Rhino King couldn't make up.

The second reason was related to that black box.

In fact, the Silver Scale Rhino King had dominated Vortex Forest for many years.

Regardless of this year's output, there should have been some inventory from previous years, right?

However, in order to use the power of the black box, the Silver Scale Rhino King sacrificed most of its annual surplus spirit medicine inventory to the black box.

This also led to the Silver Scale Rhino King having virtually no inventory left.

In the end, the Silver Scale Rhino King even resorted to plundering the spirit medicines of its own Mystic Rhinoceros clan.

It ordered them all to hand them over.

Through such means, it finally managed to barely gather enough.

The result was that Chen De wiped them all out in one swoop.

Later, the Silver Scale Rhino King also wanted to recklessly plunder spirit medicines in Vortex Forest like Chen De.

Unfortunately, since other parts of Vortex Forest had already been plundered by Chen De, the Silver Scale Rhino King naturally found no harvest.

It did want to go to other demon beast territories, but those demon beasts had long coveted the Silver Scale Rhino King, and the Silver Scale Rhino King was too busy avoiding them.

The deadline was approaching, but Chen De's several actions had completely blocked all paths for the Silver Scale Rhino King.

The Silver Scale Rhino King had also considered escaping; however, with an entire Mystic Rhinoceros clan, where could it run to?

With its family in tow, it would eventually be caught by the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger King's clan.

One demon beast could certainly run, but the Mystic Rhinoceros clan would inevitably be exterminated.

So in the end, for the sake of its clan, the Silver Scale Rhino King decided to stay and face everything with the Mystic Rhinoceros clan.

At the same time, it also hoped that the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan would be willing to give it an extension.

However, the Earth Spirit Magic Tiger Clan always sent out beings powerful enough to exterminate the opposing clan to collect debts.

For what reason, the fate of the Mystic Rhinoceros clan was already obvious.

There was no extension, only paying, or not paying.

Therefore, in the Silver Scale Rhino King's heart, Chen De was the culprit behind all of this.

That's why it hated Chen De so much, even when corrupted to madness by the evil god, it still relentlessly pursued Chen De.

Ultimately, it was tricked and killed by Chen De in the Moon Eclipse Demon Forest (Crimson Flame Demon Forest)!

These were all things Chen De didn't know.

Even if Chen De knew, he wouldn't care; these were just minor matters.

For the current Chen De, since both the demon beast and the human were dead, the slate was clean.

Chen De was too lazy to think about these things anymore.

Who doesn't have a few secrets?

Thinking about these illusory things was useless; getting tangible benefits was the most important.

"Ding, Host consumed one superior spirit medicine, gained 10 attribute points!" x 10

...

After consuming these nine superior spirit medicines, nine system prompts sounded consecutively.

This also indicated that Chen De had gained another ninety attribute points.

As per usual, he added the attribute points to speed.

With a speed attribute value of 297, Chen De's speed officially reached the peak of the second stage of the Demon Spirit Realm.

In fact, for Chen De's current situation, the attribute points gained from killing enemies were simply too few compared to what Chen De needed.

Chen De's main source of attribute points was already spirit medicines.

In other words, whether he gained attribute points from killing enemies or not was already irrelevant to Chen De.

The problem of greatly reduced attribute point gains from killing enemies was Chen De's primary goal when he came to the human side.

Soon, very soon, Chen De would be able to officially begin his actions. (When this section of content is implemented later, it will be very cold-blooded, very dark, very cruel, very bloody, and may even be extremely disturbing, so please don't mind!)

Given this, why did Chen De still hold back on leveling up?

That was naturally because...
