Demon's Diary

“Hehe, fortunately, I didn’t disappoint your expectation!”

Hearing this, Liu Ming rubbed his nose, walked to the round table, and waved his sleeve…

A black light flashed!

Suddenly there were 5 black brocade boxes on the round table. Liu Ming waved his hand again, and the 5 boxes opened with a “snap“, revealing 5 thumb-sized golden-black pills.

The original jingang bone tempering pill was only black with occasional golden spots, but now the jingang bone tempering pill was full of golden spots. The medicinal power it contained was far better than before.

4 of them had 4 faint golden elixir patterns on the surface, and the last one had 5 elixir patterns.

Xue Long glanced across the round table, and she was overjoyed. She picked up the elixir with 5 elixir patterns and examined carefully.

“It’s really an earth grade jingang bone tempering pill!”

Xue Long looked at the elixir and muttered to herself.

“Sister Xue Long, I didn’t lie to you right? Brother Ming will definitely do what he promised.” Qian Rupin on the side laughed lightly.

“Eh, Ruping, did you succeed in crystalizing?” Liu Ming casually released Divine Thought to sweep Qian Rupin, then he said with a little surprise.

He could clearly sense the abundant spiritual power as well as those 18 crystal grains in Qian Rupin’s body at this moment.

Although Qian Rupin had retreated to hit the bottleneck before, after all, she only had 6 Spiritual Pulse. Even with the support of elixirs, the probability of succeeding in crystalizing was not high after all, especially the hurdle of mind demon.

“Speaking of this, I would like to thank Sister Xue Long. If it wasn’t for her help, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to crystallize smoothly.” When Qian Rupin heard this, she looked at Xue Long and told him about what happened during the advancement.

“I didn’t expect Miss Xue to have such magical skill. Thank you!” Liu Ming changed his views on Xue Long a lot when he heard this. He bowed and cupped his fist at her with a serious face.

“Ruping and I also hit it off, so it’s just a matter of little effort. By the way, with Mr. Liu’s alchemy attainments, you can just join our Blood Vine Race. As long as you become the guest elder of our Blood Vine Race, you can have all kinds of alchemy materials!” Xue Long was putting the fifth jingang bone tempering pill back into the brocade box after checking. Her face was full of satisfaction. Hearing Liu Ming thanking her, her cheeks blushed faintly as she explained. Then, she seemed to think of something and changed the subject again.

“I appreaciate Miss Xue’s kindness, but I’m used to being free, so I have no interest in joining any tribe for the time being.” When Liu Ming heard that, he declined politely.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. If you change your mind, Blood Vine Race welcomes you at any time.” Xue Long was a little disappointed by his words, but she replied seriously, which was different from her usual savage temper.

Immediately afterward, she took out a white jade box and opened it. There was a cone-shaped exotic fruit in it, emitting bursts of white mist. It was the luo suo fruit.

“This is the luo suo fruit I promised. Please keep it.” After saying that, Xue Long flicked her fingertips, closed the lid, and launched the jade box toward Liu Ming.

“Thank you, Miss Xue.”

Liu Ming reached out, took the white jade box in his palm, and said happily.

“I still have some matters to deal with, so I won’t bother you much. Ruping, with your current talent and unique insights in totem art, it’s a pity to study alone. If you have time, you can come to the city to find me at any time. Our clan has quite a few totem masters.” Xue Long said, then she took out a palm-sized scarlet token, handed it to Qian Rupin, and left.

…

2 days later, when Liu Ming asked about the feeling after crystalizing, he suddenly frowned. He waved, and a green communication talisman flashed out in his hand. Lan Si’s voice came from it.

She said that they could leave for Black Prison Mountain Range and visit Qing Ling Race.

Liu Ming immediately instructed Qian Rupin to consolidate her cultivation in the cave house, left some elixirs for her, and left Luo City, flying toward the location marked in the communication talisman.

A few hours later, on an unknown mountain not far from Luo City, a young woman in a blue robe came from a distance, landed slowly on the platform on the top of the mountain, and looked around.

At this moment, under a big tree not far away, a man in green clothes emerged and walked slowly.

The young woman in a blue robe’s eyes moved slightly, and she said,

“Brother Liu is really thoughtful. You have already covered your human aura.”

“Fairy Lan, stop making fun of me. The item of the Qing Ling Race is very important to me, so it won’t go wrong to make more preparations.” Liu Ming smiled lightly.

“Since Mr. Liu is fully prepared, let’s not delay the time and set off now.” Lan Si said without thinking.

As soon as Lan Si said so, she waved her sleeve. A blue light rolled out with a fresh breath and turned into a palm-sized blue leaf.

Immediately afterward, the woman flicked a symbol into the leaf.

The blue leaf turned in the air and instantly grew larger. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge leaf with a size of more than 30 meters and some strange green liquid flowing through the meridians.

Immediately after Lan Si made an invitation gesture, they stepped onto the giant blue leaf.

After the green liquid circulated on the surface of the giant leaf, it set off a gust of wind and rushed toward the distance.

In just a few seconds, it disappeared into the horizon.

More than a month later, they appeared in a rolling black mountain range.

At a glance, the dense dark green trees on the mountain were uneven. A yin wind blew from time to time, adding a touch of eerie feeling.

On the giant blue leaf, Lan Si looked at the map several times, then she nodded to Liu Ming, raised one hand into the air, and threw out a green jade slip.

Suddenly, the yin wind around seemed to be stimulated by something, and it swept toward the jade slip in an instant. After a blur, the green jade slip disappeared as if being swallowed.

After about 10 minutes, in the deep valley not far away, a burst of black air tumbled. A dark tunnel leading to somewhere appeared, and 2 beastkin cultivators flew from it.

These 2 people wore green robes. Their exposed skin seemed to have been soaked in a layer of emerald green juice. There was no hair on their heads, but there was a circle of gray vine, which looked quite weird.

“What is your purpose of coming here? Why do you have the token from our clan?” A tall and thin beastkin cultivator couldn’t help showing a trace of vigilance after noticing their cultivation.

“I’m a member of the Blue Wood Race. I have traded with your elders several times before. This time, I’m here for this purpose.” As Lan Si said, she took out a Blue Wood Race token and slowly explained.

“You’re from the Blue Wood Race. If that’s the case, come with me.” After watching carefully for a while, he waved and fled toward the valley.

After 10 minutes, the four of them entered the valley without hindrance and stopped in front of a huge cave house built between the cliffs.

“Seniors, Elder Gu is already waiting inside.” The tall and thin beastkin cultivator cupped his fist and bowed respectfully before retreating with the beastkin cultivator beside him.

Liu Ming and Lan Si used Divine Thought to scan, then they walked slowly toward the cave house.

After entering the cave house, the space inside suddenly opened up, covering an area of several acres.

In addition, there were several worm-shaped green chandeliers hanging on top. The green light emanating from them softly illuminated every corner of the hall.

Next to the master seat in the depths of the cave house, a thin old man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back.

“May I know your purpose for coming from far away?” The old man in a green robe asked in a strange tone when he saw them coming in.

“Mr. Gu, I’m Lan Si from Blue Wood Race. This is my close friend who is also here to trade with your clan.” Lan Si said calmly.

Liu Ming didn’t say much. He just bowed slightly.

“Trade? If that’s the case, let’s see if the items that Miss Lan wants to trade are what we need.” Elder Gu’s eyes flashed when he heard the words. He said bluntly.

“I’m entrusted by my elder to trade 3 thousand-year-old winter grasses for 10 adult swift beetles. Do you agree on this trade?” Lan Si pondered for a while, and she directly stated her purpose.

“Hehe, it seems that Blue Wood Race’s business has grown bigger and bigger in recent years! The swift beetle is excellent in terms of escaping speed and load-bearing capacity, and it is not easy to raise… just 3 winter grasses will not work. At least 6.” Elder Gu stroked his beard and said.

After some bargaining, Lan Si finally closed the deal with 5 thousand-year-old winter grasses for 12 swift beetles. Both parties were happy with the trade.

Elder Gu received 5 white jade boxes from Lan Si, checked them with Divine Thought, and carefully put them away after confirming that there were no problems.

This deal put Elder Gu in a good mood. He glanced at Liu Ming and asked with a smile,

“May I know what you want to trade?”

“Mr. Gu, I come here to exchange for a skeleton silkworm from your clan. As long as you are willing to sell it, you can offer the price with spirit stone.” Liu Ming said straight to the point after a little thought.

“Sir actually want to trade skeleton silkworms with spirit stones? Don’t get so carried away. Our family has painstakingly cultivated them for thousands of years, and now we only have a handful of them. No matter how many spirit stones you offer today, I will definitely not trade it.” Elder Gu’s complexion turned grim after hearing this. He immediately refused.

Seeing the other party’s face changed so quickly, Liu Ming frowned.

TL: Does Liu Ming have anything valuable except for the pills he refined?
