Chapter 696: The Essence of Wine

During the 177,000 years of the Eight Desolations, Daluo Golden Immortals emerged in the Eight Desolations Holy Land, and their number increased dramatically from about 300 to about 500. The feedback of luck benefited many immortals. In addition to the Daluo Golden Immortals, the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals also increased dramatically.

The immortals highly recognized the Eight Desolate Holy Land, and even the immortals from other saintly universes wanted to come to the Eight Desolate Holy Land. For example, Ao Zhen was very envious of his uncle Ao Yi. Thanks to the luck and status blessing of the first true dragon, Ao Yi seized the opportunity of the luck to feed back and successfully promoted to the Daluo Golden Immortal.

This person could gain enormous power in Dragon Nest and could be called the ancestor of the clan. However, Ao Yi did not want to leave the Eight Desolate Holy Land. The Eight Desolate Holy Land was much larger than the Jin Ming Universe, and the benefits he gained were also much greater. There was no need for him to leave. Instead, he persuaded Ao Zhen to come with him.

Ao Zhen had been tempted a long time ago, but he didn't dare to take risks. The difference between the Lord of the Universe and the saints made the immortals have two attitudes towards them. They were more worried about the Lord of the Universe. After all, the Lord of the Universe controlled everything in the universe, and even the Daluo Jinxian felt insecure.

The Saint Universe is different. Even if the saint is in the universe, he can at most know what you have done, but cannot control you. He can take action forcefully, but will not quietly arrange your fate. Comparing the two boxes, the Saint Universe seems to be safer. Moreover, this is the Golden Inscription Holy Mother. How many years has the Dragon Nest been here?

It was a pity for Ao Yi, as he didn't know how to explain to Ao Zhen that, in his opinion, the Eight Desolate Universe was the real universe, with heaven above and hell below, reincarnation of life and death, and balance of all things. It had much more potential than the universe of Holy Mother Jin Ming. As for Ao Zhen's worry, there was no need for that.

In the Saint Universe, Saints can still decide their life and death with a single thought, but the Lord of the Universe will not do so easily. Of course, the killing calamity of immortals is another matter, but this killing calamity is ineffective against the Daluo Golden Immortal. He thinks Ao Zhen has good aptitude and will definitely be able to break through by coming to the Eight Desolate Holy Land, but unfortunately he is stubborn.

After 181,700 years of the Eight Desolate Calendar, after Chen Jingzhai's continuous searching, he finally found the second Mani Golden Bull Demon in the chaos. It was also a saint-level demon from outside the universe and was also captured by Chen Jingzhai. However, this time its head was directly cut off by the Fang Tian Huaji, and the bull's horns were also picked off by Chen Jingzhai in advance.

He originally wanted to continue refining the holy weapon, but Holy Mother Jin Ming exchanged other materials with him for a pair of golden bull horns. The material used for exchange was a rare net. This net contained the aura of cause and effect and disaster, and was the most suitable material for Tu Ruoyan. Chen Jingzhai personally used this as the main material to create Tu Ruoyan's holy weapon.

Tu Ruoyan was so happy. She was the most affected when she entered the chaos. Because of the disorder, it was difficult for her to adapt to the chaos. Even her power of natural disasters was difficult for her to use. But with this holy weapon, it would not be painful. She could offset the impact of the chaos, use her magic power with the help of the weapon, and even evolve natural disasters in the chaos.

From this year on, Chen Jingzhai has been spending his time refining holy artifacts. Even for the Lord of the Universe, it is wishful thinking to want to mass-produce holy artifacts. Only the original power of the Eight Desolate Holy Land is strong. Otherwise, if Chen Jingzhai continues to consume like this, it will sooner or later affect the operation of the entire Eight Desolate Holy Land.

While Chen Jingzhai was in seclusion refining the holy weapon, Su Qinghuang put a portion of the purified essence of the outer demons in the universe on the exchange list of the Heavenly Court, marking it as a wisp of holy demon energy, which could strengthen the body of a Daluo Golden Immortal. If a Taiyi Golden Immortal absorbed it, he could directly obtain the physical strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

The exchange price was very high, even the same as the Soul Locking Pill, and such a high price was sold out in the first place. This time, it was basically bought up by the Heavenly Court. The Star Emperor had already paid attention to the exchange list, and would buy up any good stuff in the first place. No one could compare to him.

He was the only one in the entire Heaven who knew that the so-called holy demon energy was actually the purified essence of the saint-level outer demons in the universe. This kind of good stuff was very good whether for personal use or for training subordinates. He bought most of it and used a strand of it himself to strengthen his own body.

The remaining holy demonic energy was directly divided into twelve strands and given to the twelve zodiac generals. They were born sacred in the Eight Desolate Holy Land, and with the blessing of the luck of Heaven, they had long been promoted to Daluo Golden Immortals, but they had always been very low-key, guarding Heaven. They had worked hard and made great contributions, so naturally the Emperor of Stars would show them favor.

In addition to the twelve divine generals, he also summoned back some of the Taiyi-level Taoist soldiers that Su Qinghuang had given him, and used the holy demonic energy to give them Daluo-level bodies. In this way, these Taoist soldiers could be used as Daluo combat forces, which would invisibly enhance his strength.

The Holy Demonic Qi that occasionally spread out became a great opportunity in the eyes of the immortals. All the immortals were craving for the Holy Demonic Qi. Just a wisp of it could make a Taiyi Golden Immortal have the powerful body of a Daluo Golden Immortal. It was really hard to refuse such a treasure that could enhance one's strength.

However, Su Qinghuang did not put all of his energy into the exchange list, and even did not continue to put it in for a long time. All the immortals were disappointed, but they also understood that this was an opportunity given by the Emperor and Empress. Opportunities are rare and it is impossible to satisfy the requirements of all the immortals.

Despite this, some immortals started with the name of Holy Demonic Energy and prepared to smelt demons in an attempt to imitate the Holy Demonic Energy. The idea was bold but the method was crude. They used demons to smelt it and didn't even know how to purify it at the beginning. Even if they purified it, there would be nothing.

Eventually, they produced a demon essence, which became the material for many functions such as refining weapons, alchemy, formations, puppets, talismans, etc. Seeing this, the Heavenly Court was happy to encourage them to smelt the demons, but the extremely evil Daluo was very indignant and encouraged the demons to hunt down the immortals and hand them over to the magic fairy to refine the immortal dust.

This dust is very attractive to demons, and even fairies can absorb the fairy dust to improve their own cultivation. This gives both sides the motivation to hunt targets. The demons kill for the fairy dust, and the fairies kill for the demon essence, and they kill without stopping for a single day.

If the demon battlefield was not too small and could accommodate more immortals, the demons would probably be even more unstoppable. After all, the number of demons is still inferior to that of immortals. Of course, this does not include the heavenly demons. If the heavenly demons are included, the immortals cannot compare with them, as the number of heavenly demons is said to be immeasurable.

Luofu Sect.

Jiang Lin gathered everyone once again. The Luofu Sect today is different from before. There are many Daluo Golden Immortals in the sect, and they all hold important positions in the Heavenly Court. Their fortunes are at their peak, which has led to the frequent appearance of geniuses in the sect. It can be said that the strength of the Luofu Sect has doubled today, and even its sphere of influence has spread to double-digit star fields.

"You all know about the essence of demons. You are not allowed to use it privately in the future." Jiang Lin looked at the immortals in the room with a serious look, "Especially not for cultivation."

"Senior brother, what happened?" Tian Feng asked.

"The Heavenly Court received intelligence that an immortal secretly used the essence of demons to practice, which caused his mind to become obsessed and eventually go astray," Jiang Lin said. "The most important thing is that the immortal's body was twisted into a demon with a terrifying shape. The Emperor directly summoned the thunder of the sky to destroy him into powder. After his death, he could not be reincarnated."

"So serious?" Wang Yao said in shock, "It seems that this demon essence cannot be used for cultivation."

"It's not used for cultivation," Li Yifei said, "Isn't it a kind of material? I haven't heard that it can be used for cultivation."

"In fact, demon essence can indeed be used for cultivation," Jiang Lin said after a moment's hesitation, "and can be used to soak in wine. The resulting demon wine can strengthen the body and make oneself fall into a twisted dream. Once the dream is broken, the soul will become stronger. But if the dream cannot be broken, the sequelae will be serious."

"Is there such a thing?" Kong Guang asked immediately. "Which immortal can use it?"

"Anyone below the Taiyi realm will do," Jiang Lin sighed, "It needs to be soaked in fine wine for ten thousand years, but I don't think this is a good thing."

"Why?" Chen Yurong said, "Even if we don't use it ourselves, we can sell it in exchange for resources. Why isn't it a good thing?"

"This will speed up the immortals' hunting of demons," Chen Fuxiao said. "Demon essence is obtained by squeezing demons. If there is an effect of cultivation, the immortals will flock to it. Will it be enough to kill demons? Not to mention angering the Great Evil."

"This is only one aspect," Jiang Lin said, "Although this wine has been tested, I am not sure whether it will be safe in the future. For example, if immortals take too much, will they be affected after 100,000 or 200,000 years? Therefore, it is best not for the sect immortals to use all of it."

"Can you please help verify it?" Zhao Qinghe said, "Once it is verified, we can use it ourselves and not sell it to others."

"I don't think we need to rush," Tian Feng said, "Demon essence is a good thing. We can secretly eat a batch of it. Whether it is used to make wine or to make pills, we can try it as much as we want. As for the finished product, we can use spirit beasts first and then let the immortals voluntarily try it."

"That's right," Wang Yao nodded. "Keep the good stuff to yourself first. If something goes wrong, it won't be too late to go find the Emperor."

"Do you really think that we are the only ones who can discover the effect of this thing?" Jiang Lin shook his head. "Other immortals will find out sooner or later. If we don't set an example, other forces will. By then, we won't get any benefits, but will be despised. The development of immortal sects cannot be achieved by fighting and killing."

The immortals all showed thoughtful expressions, and finally decided to respect Jiang Lin's decision and ask the Emperor to see if it can be promoted. On the one hand, it can maximize the benefits, and on the other hand, it can try safety. After all, the demon essence is the essence of demons. Even if it can be cultivated, it is right to be cautious.

"In addition to demon essence, there is also fairy dust," Jiang Lin said, "Have you ever experimented with it?"

"Can it also practice cultivation?" Shen Yurong asked with a look of disgust.

"Immortal dust, in the final analysis, is essentially the origin of immortals, and is the manifestation of constantly exploited power." Jiang Lin nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Not only can it be used for cultivation, but it can also strengthen the fruit of Tao. But it is not a good thing. It is addictive. Once you use it, you can't stop."

"Immortal dust is forbidden to circulate within the sect." Kong Guang said immediately.

"That's exactly what I meant," Jiang Lin nodded. "Immortal dust is absolutely a taboo in the sect. It must not appear in the sect. If it is found, it must be destroyed."

"I agree." Shen Yurong quickly expressed her opinion.

Immortal dust is a powder squeezed directly from immortals. What is the difference between using this thing for cultivation and eating immortals? Just thinking about it will make you feel a chill. How can you allow it to circulate in the sect? Not only that, Shen Yurong will also increase the investigation of the judicial heavenly army.

This gathering was mainly about demon essence and fairy dust. After determining their attitude, Luofu Sect began to secretly consume demon essence. At the same time, Jiang Lin brought wine to see the Emperor. The Emperor asked the Heavenly Dao clone to verify and make sure that the soaking years were enough to eliminate the negative effects of the demon essence.

As a result, Luofu Sect obtained a large purchase order from the Emperor, purchasing fine wines that were over 500 years old from the fine wines that were 100 years old, 300 years old, 500 years old, 1,000 years old, and 10,000 years old, and delivering them to the Emperor. Not only that, Wangyue Tower also hoped to obtain the agency rights for the wines. In a word, Jiang Lin and Luofu Sect were going to become rich.

The news spread immediately, and neither Emperor Zun nor Jiang Lin deliberately concealed it, which caused a great response.

Some immortals soaked themselves in the essence of demons and found that the effect of their practice was unsatisfactory. Then they went to buy Jiang Lin's wine and found that the effect was indeed much better. So the immortals began to rush to buy it, among which celestial immortals and golden immortals were the main consumer groups.

Needless to say, the purpose of the celestial immortals is to overcome the five decays of celestial beings, while the golden immortals need to improve their Tao fruits and make them complete as soon as possible. Soaking demon essence in wine sounds simple, but in fact, Jiang Lin has researched and developed a unique method and unique wine accompaniment. It has no negative effects when drinking it, and it is also of great benefit to the golden immortals.

Su Qinghuang and others searched for the outer demons in the chaos and secretly bought wine. They determined that the taste was average and the effect of cultivation was excellent, so they began to follow suit and used the essence of the outer demons to purify and then make wine. After losing a lot of fine wine, the woman found that only specific outer demons were effective.

Although a lot of it was wasted, the taste was different after soaking, and it had a rare effect on them, so they secretly stored a batch and used them when needed. However, they also had other interests, either making wine, refining medicine, or continuing to study formations.

Over the course of 183,000 years in the Eight Wastelands, more and more immortals emerged on the battlefield of demons.

In the past, people came to the Demon Battlefield to fight for merit, but now a large number of immortals come for the demons themselves. They can get merit and demon essence. Such good things can only be found in the Demon Battlefield. Everyone is very enthusiastic, which directly leads to increased pressure on the demons.

Jie Daluo was very annoyed, and after making sure that the number of immortals had increased, he immediately began to send heavenly demons into the demon battlefield. Heavenly demons were also demons, and since the immortals were determined to kill him, he certainly would not be polite, so the situation on the demon battlefield was changing rapidly, and the risk level was incredibly high.

The Star Emperor still did not stop it. As he said before, there were too many immortals, and it was not worth feeling sad no matter how many died. The same went for the demons. It would be good for the Eight Desolate Holy Land if they consumed each other. It would be the best thing to do to watch from the sidelines.
