Chapter 1050 – Mighty Invincibility Pill
After hesitating for a moment, Old Fox smiled and said, “Mister Liu Huo, according to your agreement with Thousand Eye Temple, we shall purchase this demon medicine at the highest market price. But, the exact price will need to be determined after a test. Would you like to wait here? We will complete the test as soon as possible and then settle the transaction with you.”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I will leave the demon medicine here and you can slowly examine it at your own leisure. The reason I came this time is because I have something I would like to bother Thousand Eye Temple with.” Qin Yu took out a demon crystal card and said, “Recorded in here are some materials. I hope that you can gather them for me as soon as possible.”
Old Fox received the demon crystal card with both hands and probed it with his divine sense. After some time, he looked up, a helpless expression on his face. “Mister, the materials you’ve asked for this time are far too precious and our Thousand Eye Temple is unable to collect them immediately. But with the beast tide eruption, an immense amount of demon beasts are attacking Great Deer City. There are massive harvests every day, so I will immediately post a collection reward. Perhaps there will be results soon.”
Qin Yu nodded, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Old Fox smiled. ”Mister Liu Huo speaks too cautiously. It is our greatest honor that you have decided to cooperate with us and we will do our utmost to serve your needs.”
After a brief praise, he suddenly said, “There is also another matter I would like to remind mister of. We have obtained a warning notice from the City Lord Mansion. A change has occurred with the beast tide and the impact that Great Deer City must withstand is far beyond what it has been in the past. We must take actions to weaken the onslaught of the beast tide, and if we fail, there is a high chance that Great Deer City will be breached.”
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows together, “There’s something like that happening?”
Before, he didn’t care if the demons in Great Deer City lived or died. But since he had started to cooperate with Thousand Eye Temple and the Merry Forest, it was in his best interests to stay in Great Deer City. If the city was broken through by the beast tide then he would have to return to his previously cautious lifestyle.
Old Fox looked over. “That’s right. Since mister knows of this matter now, it is best to make some preparations. But the situation will likely not completely collapse.”
Although he had a serene demeanor, his heart was racing. With Qin Yu’s reaction, it seemed that he didn’t know of the change happening to the beast tide.
Did this matter have nothing to do with him? If so, the request that Black Astral wanted to make would likely not be accepted!
Qin Yu nodded. These abyssal demons would naturally figure out how to support Great Deer City. This wasn’t his problem to have a headache over.
He drew in a deep breath and suppressed his thoughts. He stood up and said, “There are some matters I must attend to so I won’t stay any longer. Goodbye.” He took several steps out and paused, as if suddenly remembering something. He turned and said, “There’s something I forgot to warn you about. If you want to test the medicinal efficacy, make sure that the test subject is strong. This demon medicine isn’t ordinary.”
He could only give a vague description, as he was conveying Feature’s words. As for how the demon medicine wasn’t ordinary, that would depend on them to find out.
Old Fox hurriedly said, “I thank you for the reminder. Please allow me to send you out.”
Qin Yu shook his head, “No need. The fox woman can deliver me.” This old demon had a precious status. If he were to personally escort him out, he would surely be noticed by others. It was best to keep a low profile if possible.
Old Fox walked to the entrance and ordered the fox woman to lead Qin Yu out. Once the two vanished from his line of sight, he hurriedly returned to the quiet room and took out the jar of demon medicine.
“Mighty invincibility pill…” Although he knew the name, when he repeated it to himself his eyes couldn’t help but twitch.
Whatever. The name didn’t matter. All he needed to care about was the effects.
With Qin Yu’s warning, Old Fox was extremely cautious. He chose a relatively strong Colonel level demon as a test subject.
A Lieutenant level demon could basically be regarded as officially stepping into the ruling class of abyssal demons. No matter what background or tribe they came from, as long as they became a Demon Lieutenant they would obtain a considerable status.
And the Colonel level was the strongest rank beneath a Demon General. Even if Thousand Eye Temple had a great industry and many assets, they wouldn’t be willing to use a Demon General to do something as dangerous as testing demon medicines. A Demon Colonel was already the strongest tester that they could afford.
Moreover, this demon came from the Iron Armored Cow Clan. In the past when he was testing a medicine, he had turned misfortune into a blessing and his bloodline had become purified. He had a strong physique, and while a common Demon General could easily suppress him, wanting to kill him would still take some time and effort.
“Begin.”
Old Fox passed out orders and took a seat outside the testing area. A large number of specialized researchers stood around the perimeter, collecting various data points.
Upon taking one mighty invincibility pill, the iron armored cow demon’s appearance started to change. He roared as loud pops and crackles exploded from within his body. One could even see his rapidly inflating muscles beneath his skin.
His entire body grew at an astonishing rate, soon doubling his original size!
His eyes turned crimson and the iron armored cow demon howled into the air. He lifted his hands and brought them crashing down onto a black crystal in front of him. After the crystal withstood this strike, its surface shined as abyssal energy surged around it.
Old Fox’s eyes brightened. Outside the testing ring, the demon researchers all cried out in alarm as they quickly recorded what was happening.
“The eruption of strength is three times the original!”
“What amazing demon medicine!”
“Look. His body is still expanding. The potency of this demon medicine hasn’t been fully released yet!”
The iron armored cow demon roared out loud and smashed his hands down a second time. The entire testing facility started to shake.
The abyssal light surging on the surface of the black crystal hadn’t yet dissipated. It turned even richer in color, as if it were a little black sun.
“The eruption of strength has reached five times!”
“This is unbelievable!”
“Buy it, we must buy it! Once news of this demon medicine is announced to the outside world, it will definitely be popular!”
“The only worry is whether there are any hidden dangers left behind once the medicinal efficacy fades away.”
“That’s right, this is the key issue.”
Bang –
The iron armored cow demon smashed out its fist a third time. This time, the teacup near Old Fox flew into the air, scattering tea all around.
“Seven times!”
“This is bad, the iron armored cow demon’s aura is becoming chaotic! He is going to lose control!”
“Withdraw, everyone withdraw from the immediate area!”
In the chaos, the stone pillars that were nailed into the ground of the testing site began to light up with demonic runes. A barrier was released that isolated the inside from the outside.
“Ahh!” With a cry of pain, the iron armored cow demon struck out once again. This time a crack could be heard in everyone’s ears, causing their eyes to widen. They even paused in backing away.
The examination demon crystal had broken…how was this possible!?
Before they could think further, a thunderous explosion spread throughout the entire facility. The iron armored cow demon whose body had expanded to 500 feet suddenly blew apart into countless pieces.
Blood fog filled the air, mixed in with pieces of hashed meat and broken bones. The entire testing facility was covered in wreckage.
Old Fox stood up. Even with his willpower, his palms still shivered beneath his robes.
Mighty invincibility pill, this was the mighty invincibility pill!
A moment ago, he had clearly seen that a crack had been left in the examination demon crystal by the iron armored cow demon’s strike.
It had to be known that Thousand Eye Temple’s examination demon crystal was amongst the hardest and highest quality. Even if a common Demon General did their best, they would find it difficult to damage it.
In other words, before he died, the iron armored cow demon had erupted with strength comparable to a Demon General and even stronger than that.
The abyss was a great slaughter field of death and battle. Trillions upon trillions of abyssal demons tried to rise to the top, and for this they were willing to bathe themselves in blood.
Because of this brutal living environment, they had seen numerous kinds of demon medicines that stimulated one’s potential and allowed them to erupt with strength beyond their limits. This type of demon medicine wasn’t uncommon and a massive number of them were sold every day.
But as far as Old Fox knew, there was no demon medicine that could allow a demon to fight beyond their level.
It had to be known that the abyss had a strict hierarchy. A superior demon could easily control the life and death of a demon below them.
And this severe gap in level was based on the giant disparity in power between the two sides.
The difference of a single boundary was like the distance between the heavens and earth!
But today, Old Fox had witnessed the effects of this mighty invincibility pill…it was truly worthy of being refined by an Abyss Walker. It really was incredible.
Moreover, what Old Fox was even more excited about was the condition of the iron armored cow demon after he struck out that last time with an attack comparable to that of a Demon General.
The result was because his bloodline and body were unable to withstand the rapidly growing strength in his body, leading to self-collapse.
Perhaps…he hadn’t released the full potential of the demon medicine even before he died!
If a Demon General, someone with a stronger bloodline and body, were to swallow this demon medicine, they would likely be able to withstand even more of the medicinal efficacy.
For a brief time, they might even be able to contend with a Demon Commander.
As this thought appeared, Old Fox’s heart leapt in excitement. He thought about the mission that was soon about to start, where a squad would be sent in to kill the commanding demon beast of this beast tide.
In a critical situation, if the three Demon Generals of Thousand Eye Temple were to swallow the mighty invincibility pill then not only would their chances of success be much higher, but there was also a chance they could return alive! As for the City Lord Mansion and Three Lives Pavilion’s Demon Generals…hoho, they could die however they wanted. In fact, the more the merrier!
With his eyes indecisive, Old Fox drew in a deep breath and finally came to a decision. He was Thousand Eye Temple’s steward and he had to be responsible for his own status. Moreover, Qin Yu’s response made it so that he wasn’t sure whether or not this beast tide was related to him.
In other words, the previous matter would still depend on Black Astral’s luck! Old Fox ordered that no word of what happened here today was to be passed out. Then, he turned and left.
