109: Make a deal with the demon king

The Azure Sky Bull Python is equivalent to a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator; at least a Seven-Rank Alchemist is needed to refine Medicinal Pills useful to it.

The Azure Sky Bull Python teased, "Boy, this Yao King truly admires your courage."

"I think eating it would be more effective than eating a Medicinal Pill."

Li Daoxuan said disdainfully, "If you're not afraid of breaking your front teeth, you can give it a try."

Li Daoxuan continued to himself, "I am a Five-Rank Alchemist, and I am not even a hundred years old this year. Do you know what that means?"

"And I've only been involved in Alchemy for just over ten years."

At this, the Azure Sky Bull Python finally looked at Li Daoxuan with a bit of seriousness. For Yao Kings like them, sleeping for a century could pass by, and a short nap might even last more than ten years.

As for whether the Yao Race has Alchemists, no! Not a single one!

Yao Beasts directly devour various Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine in one gulp.

The Yao Race also has some fire-attribute Yao Beasts, but their fire is only good for combat; as for delicate work like Alchemy, forget about it.

The Azure Sky Bull Python did not speak, but he listened intently to every word Li Daoxuan uttered.

"Perhaps the next time we meet, I will be able to refine the Medicinal Pills you need."

"As for now?"

"Don't you have any disciples or grand-disciples? Don't you have any juniors you care about?"

"I have researched many Medicinal Pills suitable for Yao Beasts, such as this Yao Beast Body Forging Pill. This Medicinal Pill was researched based on the Yao Beast's Physique and meridians."

"After consumption, it can make the Yao Beast's Physique even stronger."

"......"

It was tempting, a feeling of temptation.

The Azure Sky Bull Python was tempted by Li Daoxuan's words, but he still said calmly, "What do you want to gain?"

Li Daoxuan smiled, "My request is very simple: I want your Yao Race to help me watch over Longyuan."

"If powerful human Cultivators attack Longyuan, you block them."

"Is that all?"

Li Daoxuan said seriously, "That's all."

"However, the Materials needed must be provided by you."

The Azure Sky Bull Python said, "The Dark Night Forest has plenty of medicinal Materials and Heaven And Earth Treasure; that's not a problem at all."

In fact, Li Daoxuan was not at a disadvantage at all. To put it this way, the Dark Forest was a huge Treasure Trove for Li Daoxuan, an inexhaustible Treasure Trove.

Would he not fail in refining Medicinal Pills?

Would he not take a little reward in the process?

Just a casual reveal would be enough to stuff Li Daoxuan.

It could only be described as a win-win situation.

The agreement was reached, and both sides were very satisfied, both feeling that they had gained a great advantage.

Li Daoxuan rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "Can I meet that one?"

The Azure Sky Bull Python refused without hesitation, "No, absolutely not. Don't even think about it."

Li Daoxuan was dumbfounded. Why such a strong reaction? I just wanted to meet the one behind you, didn't I?

The Azure Sky Bull Python thought to himself, "Is the Master someone you can just meet? I've only met him less than three times. How could the Master be so easy to meet?"

"Really not? I just wanted to express my gratitude."

"Absolutely not!"

Li Daoxuan sighed and said, "Then I won't meet him. You quickly rally the Yao Race to collect Heaven And Earth Treasure and Spirit Medicine, and then send Yao Beasts to deliver them to Longyuan."

"I'm leaving!"

Soon after Li Daoxuan left, the Dark Night Forest was in an uproar, and countless Heaven And Earth Treasure and miraculous Spiritual Plants were ravaged.

Those Cultivators who went on an adventure to seek Treasure also found nothing, not even a single hair along the way.

While the Azure Sky Bull Python was rallying the Yao Race to collect Materials, suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Come see me quickly!"

The Azure Sky Bull Python was stunned, followed by ecstasy. The Master had not forgotten him; the Master had finally summoned him again and again.

He dared not hesitate, much less delay, and cautiously hurried towards that place.

As for what the two said, it is unknown.

Li Daoxuan hummed a song all the way back, thinking he was truly a Genius to come up with such an idea.

Upon returning to Longyuan, Qing Huang could not help but say, "Husband, do you have good news? Have you found a few more Dao Companions?"

"Go away! How can you slander me like that?"

"But there is indeed some good news."

Now all the women became interested, especially Qing Huang, who held Li Daoxuan's arm and shook it continuously, "Husband, tell us quickly!"

"Haven't you always been curious about what I've been doing so mysteriously?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Li Daoxuan explained, "I've been wandering in the Dark Forest these past few days, trying to talk to a few Yao Kings."

"What?" The women were greatly surprised. Husband is very powerful, but he's not so powerful as to disregard Yao Kings, is he?

"Today, I really did meet one, and after some friendly negotiation, he..."

Qing Xuan rolled her eyes and said, "Senior Brother, you're not joking, are you?"

Li Daoxuan said seriously, "I have reached an agreement with the Yao King in the Dark Forest. I will help them refine a batch of Medicinal Pills, and he will help me watch over Longyuan."

"Husband..."

The women's gazes towards Li Daoxuan changed, becoming even more gentle, as if they wanted to melt Li Daoxuan.

This was their husband constantly worrying about their safety!

The Dark Forest was scoured clean, a large batch of Materials was collected, and then all were transported to Longyuan.

When Li Daoxuan saw the mountain of Materials, he suddenly felt that he had been too hasty.

The Yao Race truly guarded a Treasure Mountain but did not know how to utilize it.

"This is too brutal. Even such small medicinal seedlings were pulled out. Alas! They should grow for a few more years in my hundred herb diagram."

"This one isn't mature yet; let it grow for a few more years."

"This one is too tender; it also needs to..."

Li Daoxuan picked and chose, and many rare, Peerless Grade, or unused medicinal Materials, or those not found in Li Daoxuan's hundred herb diagram, were all planted by Li Daoxuan.

For this, Li Daoxuan went all out and began Alchemy.

Of course, unless it was a Five-Rank Medicinal Pill, Li Daoxuan would personally take action. Some low-grade Medicinal Pills were directly handed over to his Clone for refining.

That's right, it was a Clone, and it was that brutal.

Li Daoxuan, this fellow, was lazy and even specially researched a Clone Talisman that could use skills.

Li Daoxuan thought, why open a merchant alliance or a Wanbao Pavilion? He could just lie down and get resources.

Batches of medicinal Materials were continuously transported over, and batches of Medicinal Pills were then transported to the Dark Night Forest. When those Yao Beasts finished eating the Medicinal Pills, they became even more motivated to collect medicinal Materials.

"Tell your family's Yao King not to transport any more medicinal Materials; that's enough."

The quality of the medicinal Materials was simply getting worse and worse, so bad that Li Daoxuan could not even look at them.

In the evening, as soon as Li Daoxuan arrived at the Xiao Family Sisters' bedroom, Xiao Linger excitedly said, "Husband, we have it! Both my sister and I have it!"

"Really? That's wonderful!"

The transaction with the Dark Forest Yao King was temporarily completed, and Li Daoxuan felt it was time to leave.

On this day, all the women and all of Li Daoxuan's children, including Li Chen, were present. They held a farewell banquet for Li Daoxuan.

"Husband, please be careful on your journey."

"Father, come back soon. We will miss you..."
