I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 324: The Life-Slaughtering Knife of the Ninth Prison

"Master Wan, this Blood Jade Rejuvenation Pill must be a high-level elixir, right? It's quite valuable; we can't afford it."

High-level elixirs are extremely precious, and each one requires an Alchemy Grandmaster to consume a significant amount of Spiritual Medicine to create, a process which is both time-consuming and laborious.

Moreover, high-level elixirs are prone to causing the furnace to explode.

Intermediate elixirs, as long as the materials are correct and the Alchemist's skill is without flaws, almost never encounter any problems.

But high-level elixirs, due to their powerful inherent medicinal properties, even an Alchemy Grandmaster cannot guarantee that every batch will be successfully produced.

A slight instability can cause the furnace to explode in minutes.

And once an explosion occurs, the precious Spiritual Medicines in that batch are completely ruined, which is why the price of a single high-level elixir is often more than a hundred times that of an intermediate one.

Generally, only a Great Grandmaster of the Yang God Realm like Yan Xuankong would have the privilege to casually use high-level elixirs for cultivation.

For someone like Wan Zhongshan, a Garrison Captain of this level, these two Blood Jade Rejuvenation Pills are also rare treasures.

Seeing Han Zheng decline, Su Wuming also did not accept.

Wan Zhongshan solemnly said, "Young friends, do not refuse. The Sima Family's attack on Qianjiang Prefecture is my responsibility.

I was careless and underestimated that old fellow Sima Chengzong, even falling for his diversion tactic, which led to you both being in danger.

I am already utterly grateful that you came out unscathed; otherwise, how would I have the face to meet Elder Xu and Chen Zhenfu?

The Weapon Casting Conference is a grand event in the Martial World of Southern Mountain, as well as a time for various powers to showcase their martial prowess.

Due to the system in our Demon Cleansing Department, while our younger generation may be very capable, they have never been unparalleled among their fellow Martial Artists.

Elder Xu has said, you are the most talented and outstanding figures in our Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department in recent years, and that you truly had a chance to seize the lead at the Weapon Casting Conference.

If my negligence leads to your misfortune, I truly cannot escape the blame.

So, young friends, please do not refuse anymore and take these elixirs.

I am already of old age and have no use for them."

Saying this, Wan Zhongshan sighed with regret, "I really am old, no longer useful, and my vigilance has decreased.

I subconsciously assumed that the Sima Family would not dare to make a move, so I did not keep an eye on them.

And about the Yinshan Wolf Thieves, their appearance was also mysterious. I should have gone to investigate them first."

"So, Master Wan, did you also manage to wipe out the Yinshan Wolf Thieves this time?"

Wan Zhongshan's expression darkened as he coldly responded, "Don't mention it, I failed to exterminate the Yinshan Wolf Thieves.

Although Luo Tianzuo, after becoming a demon, proved to be somewhat capable, that was all he was.

Just as I was about to slay him, Gongyang Qu of the Cang Mountain Sword Sect suddenly intervened, claiming that the Yinshan Wolf Thieves had repented and pledged allegiance to the Sword Sect.

Only then did I realize there was a problem and decided to rush back to Qianjiang Prefecture, but Gongyang Qu kept harassing me.

After a bout of fighting with Gongyang Qu, I fiercely forced him to retreat and then rushed back to Qianjiang Prefecture as quickly as I could."

After finishing, Wan Zhongshan clenched his teeth with hatred.

Although he had never made any significant achievements in his life, he had always been diligent and hardly made any serious mistakes.

Yet as he aged, he was played for a fool, nearly leading to the downfall of two of the most promising young talents of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department at Qianjiang Prefecture.

Wan Zhongshan dared not imagine, had Han Zheng and Su Wuming truly met with disaster, how he would face Xu Cunbao and Chen Zhenfu.

Yan Xuankong commented in Han Zheng's mind, "This youngster's only merit is his hardworking honesty; indeed, his head isn't quite up to par.

With the Weapon Casting Conference approaching, let the Yinshan Wolf Thieves stir up trouble; the conference is obviously the main event.

Failure to distinguish priorities, no wonder he's being led by the nose."

"Master Wan is the Garrison Captain of Qianjiang Prefecture. How could he possibly ignore the chaos caused by the Yinshan Wolf Thieves there?

If Master Wan acted like you suggest, ignoring this and that, who knows how many lives would be lost.

Moreover, stop being a Monday morning quarterback. Didn't you also fail to realize that the Sima Family would dare to act?"

The incident with the Sima Family was something no one could have expected.

After all, by doing what they did, the Sima Family virtually forced themselves into a dead end.

A single misstep would mean the complete annihilation of their clan, with all connections severed as thoroughly as slicing earthworms lengthwise.

Under normal circumstances, no one would engage in such mad actions, yet the Sima Family did exactly that.

It can only be said that the methods of the Black Mountain Demon were too sinister, and the people of the Sima Family too obstinate.

"I was in hibernation at that time, if I were awake, I definitely would have sensed something amiss!"

Han Zheng ignored Yan Xuankong's excuses, who now had nothing left but bluster.

"Alright, I won't disturb your rest anymore, take the elixir promptly to restore your strength, and prepare for the Weapon Casting Conference."

Wan Zhongshan did not give Han Zheng or Su Wuming any chance to refuse, and directly closed the door as he left.

Han Zheng held the elixir, shook his head lightly, and said to Su Wuming, "This Elder Wan is indeed a person of integrity."

In actuality, today's incident involved people killed by Han Zheng, and the Sima Family's main target of revenge was also him, Han Zheng. Wan Zhongshan had no need to shoulder all the responsibilities himself.

However, he still felt it was his problem and even blamed himself for it.

"Anyone whom the Elder Xu acknowledges as a close friend must be exceptional."

Su Wuming was initially saved by the Demon Cleansing Department, but the one who actually decided to teach him martial skills and didn't mind recruiting him into the Demon Cleansing Department was Xu Cunbao.

Han Zheng patted Su Wuming's shoulder, "Focus on recovering your Qi Blood Essence to participate in the Weapon Casting Conference. That will be the real tough battle.

We have revealed too many of our cards before the Weapon Casting Conference, so it's possible we'll be targeted."

Previously, Han Zheng and Su Wuming's reputation in Southern Mountain was not particularly prominent.

This was related to the nature of the Demon Cleansing Department.

Even if they completed any earth-shattering missions, they couldn't possibly proclaim it throughout the Martial World.

On the other hand, the achievements of the disciples from major sects were broadcasted throughout the Martial World.

But now, Han Zheng and Su Wuming had engaged in constant significant battles before the Weapon Casting Conference, exposing many of their tactics, making it likely that others would analyze their martial skills to specifically target them.

Yet, Han Zheng was not afraid.

In the face of absolute power, all strategies are mere illusions.

Thus, enhancing his own strength was the fundamental solution.

Su Wuming nodded, picked up the elixir, and entered the meditation chamber for secluded cultivation.

Han Zheng also swallowed a Blood Jade Rejuvenation Pill and entered the adjacent meditation chamber to cultivate.

The moment the elixir entered his stomach, a dense and mighty boundless blood qi instantly surged into Han Zheng's body, replenishing his depleted Qi Blood Essence.

This rich blood qi, although mighty, was not overbearing but rather exceedingly gentle.

After this power entered his body, it only needed a slight refinement before it could be used to heal himself. The effects of a high-level elixir were undoubtedly much stronger than those of an intermediate elixir.

Wan Zhongshan said it would take about twelve hours for the Blood Jade Rejuvenation Pill to restore the depleted Qi Blood Essence, but with Han Zheng's physical strength, he had already returned to his peak condition in just six hours.

Su Wuming was still in meditation, but Han Zheng was preparing to make a breakthrough with the Avici Path Asura Slash.

The last time Han Zheng made a breakthrough with the Ape Demon Nine Transformations, he obtained a new technique, Sea Suppressing, but found the technique too powerful for him to wield effortlessly.

This time, Han Zheng was not aiming too high; focusing on advancing the Avici Path Asura Slash was the sensible approach.

Moreover, after slaying Sima Chengzong, Han Zheng had acquired twenty thousand Qi Blood Essence, which converted to Hunger Level was a whopping two hundred thousand points, making him filthy rich.

Summoning the Taotie Furnace, Han Zheng observed that the Skill Level of the Avici Path Asura Slash was at 95%.

He spent ten thousand Hunger Level points to cultivate it to Perfection, then said resolutely, "Break through the Avici Path Asura Slash."

["Avici Path Asura Slash" requires eighty thousand Hunger Level points for breakthrough]

The Taotie opened its gaping mouth wide, and amidst its mastication, a sphere of light was expelled and merged into Han Zheng's body.
