Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1519: Chapter 564: The Demon King Wishes to Transform, the Demon Monarch is About to Head North_2

The Tianxuan Fighting Bird stood in the middle of the hall, its neck held high, yet its mood somewhat low.

It could guess that perhaps this Transforming Pill would not fall into its hands.

The favoritism their master showed towards Black King was visible to the naked eye.

Whether it was the reward of the Top Grade Emperor Flow Juice share or the trifle materials given from the Demon Beasts’ bodies after pill refinement, it was all clear as day.

Especially when the master had even awarded Black King the body of a Cliff Serpent that had failed its Transcending Tribulation.

Under such circumstances, even if it wanted to compete, it might be...

Just as it was wallowing in disappointment, a startling voice reached its ears.

”Give it to Tian Xuan!”

”Huh?”

Tian Xuan hadn’t replied yet when Luo Chen was the first to express his astonishment.

Facing Luo Chen’s surprised gaze, and the Fighting Bird’s confusion beside him, Black King let out a chuckle.

”The master might not know, but the essence contained within that Cliff Serpent’s body is indeed quite abundant. I have been sleeping for over three years and still haven’t fully digested it.”

”If you ask me to take the Transforming Pill now, I’m afraid the human form spawned would be all sorts of odd and misshapen.”

Luo Chen was about to say that it wouldn’t happen since he had refined the Transforming Pill himself.

However, an image suddenly appeared in his mind – the silhouette atop Cangwu Mountain with a crow head on a human body.

Youquan, did it not transform after taking this pill and failed?

”I do want to take the Transforming Pill, but if I truly need to wait until I’ve digested the essence of the Cliff Serpent in my body, it may well take another six or seven years. The master has plans to travel soon and can’t wait that long for me.”

”And moreover...”

At this point, Black King paused, a trace of hesitation and uncertainty flickering in his eyes.

”And moreover, I have this vague feeling that perhaps it’s better for my cultivation if I don’t pursue the Transformation method but rather stick to the ancient Savage Beast cultivation technique.”

Luo Chen’s eyebrows furrowed.

Before he could speak, Tian Xuan beside Black King asked, ”How so? Isn’t it said that after transforming, we can cultivate faster? With your massive size, if you want to ascend step by step and refine your Demon Body, to reach Fourth Order, how long would that take?”

The three rapid questions also reflected exactly what Luo Chen was thinking.

Black King twisted his snake body covered in dark, profound scales, admitting uncertainly, ”I’m not sure either, but my instincts give me that kind of feeling.”

Instincts?

A thought flashed through Luo Chen’s mind.

Bloodline Inheritance?

Among powerful Demon Beast Clans, some are gifted and continually purify their bloodlines, awakening ancestors’ inhered traits.

The Black Scaled Giant Python was a product of mixed bloodlines, its ancestral lineage untraceable.

The lineage of the Flood Dragon, which Black King belonged too, was also a lower-quality offshoot.

However, after receiving several shares of Top Grade Emperor Flow Juice from Luo Chen, it seemed the other had been purifying its bloodline and even comprehending the ”Demon Devouring Technique.”

That Demon Technique was quite miraculous!

Luo Chen had personally studied it and felt that it was somewhat similar to his Prosperity and Decline True Fire refining technique, which assimilates the vitality of others for one’s own use, even surpassing it in terms of comprehensiveness.

He had tried to learn this Demon Technique!

However, the final study ended in failure.

The specific reason lay in the fact that this Demon Technique was propelled by the terrifying stomach pouch inside Black King’s massive body.

Unless Luo Chen also transformed his stomach to be like Black King’s and understood the underlying principle of the Demon Technique.

Luo Chen did not dare to do so as he was uncertain whether such bodily modifications would negatively affect his already satisfactory cultivation speed.

”If the Demon Devouring Technique and more inherited knowledge contained in the bloodline are used to compensate for the difficulty of the Savage Beast’s cultivation path, perhaps Black King’s cultivation speed wouldn’t be too slow?”

”If it indeed becomes necessary, I’ll refine more Emperor Flow Juice for him later and look for more beneficial resources for him to devour.”

Having thought it through, Luo Chen no longer dwelled on this matter.

”Fine then, that’s decided.”

Luo Chen waved his hand grandly, and the Transforming Pill floated to Tian Xuan’s side.

The other caught the Elixir in a daze, listening blankly to Luo Chen adding some precautions about taking the pill.

Then, at Luo Chen’s signal, the two Demons took their leave.

After leaving the Green Sun Great Hall, a bird and a snake strolled leisurely, eventually stopping by the lake at Ten Mile Flat Lake.

Usually, at this time, Python Dragon would plunge into the lake, and Fighting Bird would soar into the sky, each going their separate ways.

But this time, Tian Xuan took the initiative to stop Black King.

As the natural enemy and the initiator, Tian Xuan was always quite assertive.

Yet at this moment, standing before Black King, it was somewhat coy.

Black King seemed to guess the other’s thoughts and opened his blood-filled mouth with a grin.

”Don’t bother with thanks. After all, whoever transforms will have to run errands for the master, and just thinking about it sounds bothersome. That kind of task is better left to you!”

The green eyes of the bird sparkled with human-like complex meanings.

Running errands had its own benefits.

Hadn’t Black King gained the master’s exclusive favor before because he had been catching Demon Crabs for the master every day?

If it were to transform, not only could its cultivation speed increase, but by often doing tasks for the master, it would certainly gain more benefits.

”I’ll be leaving soon so, Black Master here, I need a bit more sleep.”

After a yawn filled with an unbearable stench, the giant python plunged with a plop into the placid lake.

Watching the ripples and continuously spreading wavelets on the lake’s surface, Tian Xuan remained silent for a long while.

Finally, it softly said one word.

”Thank you.”

Afterward, with a flap of its wings, it flew towards its solitary residence at Sea-viewing Cliff.

Under the lake, Black King’s eyes quietly observed the majestic figure above until eventually, it curled its lips.

”Considering you saved me before, I’ll let you have the advantage this time.”
