Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"Is it really true?"

"They'll take everything we pick?"

Seeing that the first one who spoke wasn't reprimanded, the little demons started chiming in one after another.

Anything with even a little value, whether it's grass leaves, flower branches, or roots and fruits, they never get a chance.

Either they're already guarded by strange beasts, or stronger demons get there first.

Even if they do stumble upon something, they can't win the fight for it.

After many times, everyone has lost the desire to go out and search.

What's more, they can exchange them for pills?

Is such a good thing possible?

The little demons couldn't believe it.

"Of course," Xu Chengxian nodded, replying through voice transmission, "But there's a prerequisite."

"Spiritual plant seedlings grow slowly, take a long time, and not only is it laborious to take care of them, but they also consume many other spiritual objects. Moreover, there's the inevitable risk of loss."

"Therefore, if they fail to grow, you can only blame yourselves. If they do grow, the spirit stones they can be exchanged for will be only one-thirtieth of the value of mature spiritual plants."

"But the other exchange promises remain unchanged."

Now, the little demons' reactions were even more intense.

Each one was so excited they almost jumped up.

The later conditions sounded a bit harsh.

But on second thought, they were even more believable.

If the great demon made empty promises and offered some unrealistic benefits, they wouldn't believe it.

The fact that they presented both the good and bad points showed sincerity!

As for some little demons who seemed to think the price was too low, smarter ones scoffed and sneered, "How can you be so stupid?"

"If Colonel Xu didn't speak up, who would want the seeds and seedlings even if you dug them up?" A fox demon, swishing its big tail behind it, scolded with arms akimbo, "Be grateful!"

"Besides, what's there to fear if the price is a little low?"

"Even if the price were high, could you buy spiritual pills with the money from selling the seeds and seedlings?"

"That's right!"

Therefore, the most important thing in this matter is the promise to exchange for pills!

How difficult is it to buy pills within the demon race?

Just look at how Xu Chengxian and the others can't buy all the pill-refining materials, and you can get a glimpse of it.

What's more, these little demons make a living in places like Luyang Mountain.

So the smarter ones don't need to be told much to know where they benefit the most from this matter.

And they immediately understood that Xu Chengxian's promise, he has the ability to fulfill.

"We know Colonel Lingyun's alchemy skills."

"Not to mention anything else, just the Transformation Pills alone, two furnaces were opened, and several pills were made each time."

The Bai residence has an alchemist!

Among their three great demons, one is an alchemist!

"Colonel Xu!" A bolder little demon, with a roll of its eyes, hid behind others and shouted, "If the pill-refining fails, can we exchange it for cultivation methods instead?"

After this reminder, the other little demons suddenly woke up—the Bai residence has three great demons, not only one who can refine pills, but also one who seems to know many cultivation methods.

They all looked at Xu Chengxian.

A complete cultivation method includes cultivation techniques, combat skills, and usable spells.

Just like a pill formula, it not only includes a list of the spiritual materials needed for refining pills.

The biggest difference between little demons and demon beasts is that they have a dharma body that is closer to the innate Dao body.

Although they cannot change smoothly between the main body and the dharma body, which is inconvenient during battle.

But when they enter meditation, they can use the five-hearts-to-heaven posture to guide spiritual energy into the meridians and acupoints.

In other words, they can cultivate more techniques and learn faster.

Lingxiao's most effective trick to win over the little demons is this.

Teaching them some techniques or small spells.

Even a little combat skill, or letting Lingyunzi refine some weapons, can gain a loyal subordinate.

Xu Chengxian certainly knew this, so he simply said directly: "Yes."

"Moreover, you can not only exchange for cultivation methods, but also for weapons, combat skills, spells, and even protective magical instruments."

Of course, this would require formulating a more complete value exchange system.

However, he didn't care.

"Let Lingxiao and Lingyunzi handle it," Xu Chengxian decided immediately in his heart.

These two must have experience.

How could forces like the Holy Dynasty and the sects not have procedures such as merit exchange?

He couldn't let the Empress and the Dao Lord feel like they weren't participating.

The idea was his.

If he did all the work, it would seem impolite!

The excitement of the little demons was expected.

If anyone needs pills more, it's them.

Prematurely transforming has its pros and cons.

If there are sufficient pills and cultivation resources, then there are only benefits and no disadvantages.

The alchemists and spiritual materials gathered in the royal city, except for the top ones who serve the demon kings and demon lords, the pills refined by the remaining alchemists are mostly bought by the little demons.

And besides the little demons, the higher-level demon beasts in front also felt moved after hearing Xu Chengxian's words.

Pills, combat skills, cultivation methods.

There are even magical instruments!

Each one is the Achilles' heel of cultivators.

Xu Chengxian clearly discerned that the breathing rhythm of the higher-level demon beasts in front had changed.

This shows that their moods were equally agitated.

They were all waiting for the first one to speak.

Not really understanding the meaning of their behavior, Xu Chengxian chose to respect it.

He turned his gaze to them and asked first: "Does everyone have any questions to ask?"

They are all important partners.

Giving them face isn't impossible.

"Colonel Xu, I wonder if the quality of the pills used for exchange can be guaranteed?" As expected, as soon as he spoke, a demon beast couldn't wait to ask.

It was actually that curly-haired lion.

"Quality?" Xu Chengxian raised an eyebrow.

"Exactly," the lion nodded.

The spiritual object pavilions in the royal city sometimes sell pills as well.

But the quality of the pills, compared to the division of spiritual plant types and grades, is even more uneven, making it troublesome to judge.

So appraising alchemists are needed.

This is another expense.

Pills are expensive, and good pills are even more expensive.

Pills endorsed by spiritual object pavilions are even more expensive.

Transformation Pills are what they need most, and high-level demon beasts can smell the approximate quality and generally know some judgment standards.

But other pills are difficult.

"This question..." Xu Chengxian hesitated.

The lion asked this, obviously because it needed pills other than Transformation Pills.

It's a potential big customer!

With his hesitation, the lion became nervous instead and said, "If there is no appraising alchemist, it doesn't matter." Pills of poorer quality can still be eaten.

At worst, eat a few more.

It's just more trouble to excrete the pill toxins.

It's better than nothing.

"No, I'm calling my brother over," Xu Chengxian smiled, "The quality of the pills should be answered by the alchemist."

He doesn't understand.

He can't even make up nonsense.

He simply transmitted a message with his divine sense and called Lingyunzi over.

"Why need any appraisal?" Lingyunzi came very quickly.

Knowing that Xu Chengxian was going to stir up trouble today, how could he and Lingxiao have the heart to cultivate?

Arriving in a moment, with his hands behind his back, he uttered a arrogant sentence.

"No need for appraisal?"

"What does this mean?"

Bai Yuangong, who knew a little about pill-refining, immediately stood up.

His monkey hair on his head was excitedly sticking up.

"When spiritual pills are produced, they naturally generate spiritual patterns, have you ever heard of it?" Lingyunzi was full of arrogance.

"Heavenly Dao Pill Appraisal!" Bai Yuangong shouted excitedly, "The alchemy you are proficient in can Heavenly Dao Pill Appraisal!"

"That's right," Lingyunzi nodded slightly.

Heavenly Dao Pill Appraisal?

Xu Chengxian blinked, what the hell?

Looking at this reaction, Dao Lord's alchemy skills seem to be very awesome.

"Can you make pills with seven colors and nine spiritual patterns?" A stout voice also said incredulously.
