Chapter 60: Double Black Marches to the Purple Mist Sect

Chapter 60: Double Black Marches to the Purple Mist SectThe monkey's tail grew shorter and shorter, its fur falling off, skin becoming smoother, and its body taller, gradually transforming into an ape-man.

"What the hell..."

"Is it turning into a human?"

Both demons were dumbfounded.

During this process, the monkey sometimes screamed in agony, sometimes wept, sometimes laughed maniacally, sometimes raged, and sometimes showed fear. Various emotions appeared on its face one by one.

"This is going berserk," Hei Huang said in a deep voice.

Rapid advancement in cultivation, bloodline mutation, and no auxiliary techniques—it's no wonder it went berserk!

"Ah!!"

With a heart-wrenching scream, the monkey suddenly stood still, like a wooden statue.

At this moment, its evolution had stopped. It stood six feet tall, with a straight posture, almost all its fur gone, and its tail disappeared. Its skin was slightly rough, and its race was between a monkey and a human.

It was a monkey before.

Now, it should be an ape-man.

Xu Hei was stunned.

What kind of heaven-defying pill is this? It can make fish grow legs and monkeys evolve into humans.

However, the ape-man's eyes were dull, its mouth slightly open, standing motionless like a puppet.

"Why isn't it moving?"

Xu Hei used the Gravity Technique to grab a branch and waved it in front of the ape-man's eyes, but there was no reaction.

"He went berserk and died," Hei Huang said.

"Berserk..."

Xu Hei frowned. He had heard of this term, which meant that during cultivation, an error occurred, causing an Inner Demon to invade the body. In mild cases, one could become an idiot; in severe cases, they would die on the spot.

Xu Bai was startled. She lowered her head like she had done something wrong and said, "I... I didn't mean to. I didn't know it would kill someone."

Hei Huang sneered, "What's the big deal about a dead person? This monkey was meant to be caught and eaten. Back in the day, I could easily poison an entire sect."

He didn't care about the monkey's death; he was just pondering why the pill had such an effect.

He had witnessed the entire pill refining process and recognized all the materials, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why this strange pill caused such a mutation.

This was no ordinary pill; it was practically a demonic pill refined by a demonic cultivator!

Xu Hei was also pondering this question.

A pill that could make fish grow legs and walk on land, make monkeys evolve into ape-men, and judging by the looks of it, if the monkey hadn't died midway, it could have continued evolving. It was simply absurd.

Xu Hei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Hei Huang, what is her cultivation technique?"

"Cultivation technique?" Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, "I think it's called... Heavenly Demon Technique."

"Heavenly Demon Technique!"

Hei Huang was shocked, a flash of realization crossing his mind.

In the inheritance he had given, there indeed was the Heavenly Demon Technique!

But the Heavenly Demon Technique was only suitable for someone with a Fiendish Demon Body like his to cultivate. There had never been a case of someone with a pure Wood Spiritual Root cultivating it.

"Try circulating your cultivation technique," Hei Huang quickly said.

Xu Bai immediately complied. A wisp of True Qi emerged from her Demon Core and flowed through her meridians.

It was powerful Wood-element True Qi, but within it, there was also a trace of black Qi, continuously merging together.

Hei Huang exclaimed, "It really is the Heavenly Demon Technique, but I've never seen such True Qi before!"

The truth was revealed.

This should be his Heavenly Demon Technique, combined with the Wood Spiritual Root, producing a strange mutation that even he, the creator, hadn't anticipated.

"Can I still refine pills in the future?" Xu Bai asked.

"You did well, but don't refine anymore," Hei Huang said.

Xu Bai: "..."

In the end, it was Xu Hei who persuaded her, encouraging her to keep trying if she liked it. In the future, she could catch more human cultivators to test the pills, and she would eventually succeed.

After some encouragement, Xu Bai finally regained her confidence, promising to work hard and not let everyone down.

"I will work hard. I swear, I will refine pills that will be useful to Great King Xu Hei!" Xu Bai said with determination.

"Hehe, good luck."

Xu Hei forced a smile of encouragement.

He handed over the previously collected medicinal materials to Xu Bai and took out three brand new pill furnaces from his storage bag, all spoils of war.

Xu Bai accepted them excitedly and immediately began a new round of research.

"Xu Hei, you were the one who asked her to refine pills. In the future, you better not refuse to eat her pills!" Hei Huang took the opportunity to speak, a wicked smile on his face.

Xu Hei glanced at the ape-man and instinctively shrank his neck, quickly changing the subject, "I just remembered something I need to do. I'll be off."

"Hey, wait!"

Hei Huang quickly put away the ape-man's corpse and ran over, grinning slyly, "Xu Hei, are you in urgent need of pills? I have a way to get enough Minor Essence Nurturing Pills to ensure you cultivate to Great Perfection."

Xu Hei was stunned, instinctively feeling that it couldn't be anything good, but he still asked, "What way?"

"Let's do something big, rob the pill refining room!"

Hei Huang took out a map and said excitedly, "This is the layout of the Purple Mist Sect. Don't ask me how I got it. The pill refining room is right here... Hey, don't go, I haven't finished talking."

Xu Hei cursed, "If you want to go, go yourself. I'm not stopping you."

Xu Hei just wanted to cultivate in peace. He really didn't want to stir up trouble. He had just fought a big battle with humans and hadn't even digested it yet, and now he had to fight again. When would it end?

Hei Huang's eyes rolled, and he caught up, saying, "We're going to steal, not rob openly. What are you afraid of?"

"The Purple Mist Sect is full of female cultivators, all of them simple-minded and easy to deal with."

"The Purple Mist Sect is also a major pill refining sect. Don't mention Minor Essence Nurturing Pills; we might even get Foundation Establishment Pills."

"When have I ever tricked you?"

"Xu Hei, humans are so wicked. We can't sit idly by; we need to teach them a lesson..."

Hei Huang kept following, analyzing the pros and cons from all angles, trying to persuade him.

His voice was like a ghost haunting, lingering in Xu Hei's ears, making him extremely annoyed.

Xu Hei looked back at him, gritting his teeth, "Just tell me, how confident are you?"

Hei Huang was stunned and said, "With you, ninety percent."

"Then let's go! You can explain the plan on the way."

Xu Hei used the Earth Escape Technique and sped towards the direction of the Purple Mist Sect.

He had figured out Hei Huang's tactics. If he didn't agree, Hei Huang would pester him until he did. It was better to agree from the start, saving time.

Hei Huang followed behind, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Little Xu, the usual fifty-fifty split."

"Got it, got it, you talk too much."

……

Along the way, at Xu Hei's strong request, Hei Huang refined a batch of puppets and many Invisibility Talismans.

Hei Huang couldn't refuse these requests and could only agree with a pained heart.

Two days later.

Xu Hei and the two demons arrived at the territory of the Purple Mist Sect.

The Purple Mist Sect, one of the four major sects under the Snake Catchers Sect, only accepted female disciples and was on par with the other three sects in terms of strength.

But this sect had one major characteristic: it was overly pampered. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

From disciples to elders, there was an air of mortal ignorance and arrogance.

The reason was simple: the female cultivators of the Purple Mist Sect were all stunningly beautiful, and with the Purple Mist Technique, a dual cultivation technique, anyone who dual cultivated with them could improve their cultivation. This led to them having a large number of admirers.

Various rare magical treasures and spirit beasts would be offered to them as long as they asked.

Even disciples of the Snake Catchers Sect often tried to curry favor with them.

Because the Purple Mist Technique required both parties to be willing for the best effect, if the female cultivator harbored resentment, it could cause the male cultivator to go berserk.

This was the domineering aspect of the Purple Mist Technique.

Additionally, the sect master of the Purple Mist Sect was a Dao companion of a significant figure in the Snake Catchers Sect, who was a notorious wife-protector. Under his authority, no one dared to provoke the sect.

"Hehe, this is why we encountered so few female disciples of the Purple Mist Sect on our way here. As long as they ask, treasures are delivered to their doorsteps. Why would they need to risk their lives in the mountains?" Hei Huang sneered.

"The creator of the Purple Mist Technique was truly a genius, benefiting the entire sect," Xu Hei sighed.

"Forgot to tell you, the creator was a man."

"What?" Xu Hei was stunned.
