Chapter 474: Peaceful Life, Further Study of Alchemy

Only then did Yang Che realize that the ‘Prison Gate’ was originally built to suppress the demons and ghosts that escaped from the ‘Eternal Hell’.

In the original "Infinite Hell", many demons and ghosts entered the Nine Nether Purgatory from the weak point in the space where the "Hell Gate" was located.

These demons and monsters had been imprisoned in the "Infinite Hell" for too long. Suddenly they escaped into the Nine Nether Purgatory, and they burned, killed, and looted wildly, making the entire Nine Nether Purgatory soaked in rich blood.

This is where the name ‘Purgatory’ comes from.

It was against this background that Prison Gate was jointly established by several powerful cultivators at the peak of the Transformation of Gods.

After the prison gate was established, he began to exterminate a large number of demons and ghosts in the Nine Nether Purgatory.

However, there were so many monsters and monsters that it was impossible to kill them all. In the end, they had to capture those monsters that could not be killed one by one and imprison them in the "hell".

The prison gate at that time was a sacred sect in the minds of all the monks and mortals in Jiuyou Purgatory.

However, as time passed slowly, it was said that powerful monks from the spiritual world's "Nine Nether Realm" repaired and stabilized the weak points of the space. Since then, almost no demons and ghosts have entered the Nine Nether Purgatory in the Infernal Hell.

The prison gate's energy is naturally only focused on the 'underworld prison', and the pressure is greatly reduced.

However, the demons and ghosts in Hades actually seem to 'reproduce'. The longer they are locked up, the more their numbers increase. Until in the past few hundred years, the Hades began to riot, and they became more and more frequent, and a large number of powerful demons and ghosts rushed out. Hell, re-enter the Nine Nether Purgatory.

The Prison Gate monks were also killed too many times by powerful demons and ghosts, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Nowadays, the prison gate is almost completely blocked by Hades, and even the monks who originally guarded the 'periphery and underground levels of Purgatory' have been transferred to Hades in an increasing number.

Frequent riots in Hell have also caused the order of Jiuyou Purgatory to almost collapse.

There are many prison officials in the prison gate who behave almost like demons in order to cultivate resources.

Some of the higher-ups of the prison gate even learned that if they wanted to leave the Nine Nether Purgatory, they would need to use a large number of 'souls' to perform soul sacrifices.

As a result, a rule was established that a large number of souls need to be handed over for the warden's assessment.

At the same time, the subordinates of these high-level prison officials were killing people everywhere openly and covertly, and plundering souls.

As a result, both monks and mortals in Jiuyou Purgatory complained about the prison gate.

In order to better restrain these "prison directors", the prison gate set up the post of "prison director in charge" a hundred years ago.

It is intended to punish those prison officials and gatekeepers who ignore the prison rules, act like demons, and kill innocent people indiscriminately, and to re-establish the sacred image of the prison gate.

However, every "punishment director" who takes office does not last more than a few years, and is either killed or found to be in cahoots with some of the "middle and high-level officials" of certain prison sects, becoming the same breed.

The top brass of the prison gate are also fighting openly and secretly and are divided into several factions.

As a result, the wardens under the sect also have entangled interests and intricate connections. Even if they want to punish some wardens who violate the sect's rules, there will be great resistance.

Gradually, no one is willing to take over the position of 'Prison Director', for fear of hiding away.

Yang Che thought about it for a long time, with a look of uncertainty on his face.

Obviously, being the prison chief is an offending and even thankless job.

No wonder the prison gate would put forward such a condition in exchange for a sealed treasure of Yin Luota.

Compared with killing high-level demons and monsters in the underworld, being the punishment prisoner is obviously not a good choice.

However, Yang Che also knew that if he refused again at this time, the prison gate would probably be dissatisfied, so he reluctantly agreed:

"Elder Qin, I have taken over the post of Prison Supervisor of Punishment. However, whether it is the assessment of the Ten-Star Prison Supervisor or the appointment of the Superintendent of Punishment Prison, I have to decline for another ten years. Right now I have a very important thing to do first. It’s only after it’s done. I’m sure the sect won’t deny it this little time, right?”

When Qin You heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "It's only ten years, it's just a snap of the fingers. Now that the deal is settled, the two of us will make a soul oath."

Yang Che couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

It is reasonable to make a soul oath. After all, it is impossible for a prison gate like Noda to completely believe it based on his verbal words.

What surprised Yang Che was that the prison gate was so relieved that Elder Qin You had made a soul oath with him. It seemed that Elder Qin You's status in the prison gate was not as simple as it seemed.

Next, the two made a soul oath.

Elder Qin You was finally relieved and returned to his sect with a smile on his face.

Yang Che released Liao Huang, a man in the early stage of Nascent Soul who was guarding the teleportation array on the underground level of Purgatory, and used the 'soul control technique' to erase Liao Huang's memory of the sealed stone chamber in the magic stone space.

Later, he took Liao Huang and caught up with Qin You...

The reason why Yang Che decided to resign for ten years was naturally because of Tong Ping'an's incident.

After all, Tong Ping'an only has six or seven years to live.

Yang Che has already decided to try to understand the transformation into mortals and find a way to refine the 'Wanhe Pill' within these six or seven years.

After solving the wanted matter at the prison gate, Yang Che is going to do nothing and concentrate on studying the 'Alchemy Way' in Zixin Hall.

But not long after he returned to Zixin Hall, a group of angry people suddenly came outside Zixin Hall.

Yang Che recognized these people as the ones who deliberately took his medicine and gave it to the patients at home. The patients died suddenly after taking it.

These people were undoubtedly sent by the other three drug stores to do mischief.

Although Yang Che had been prepared to deal with these little conspiracy tricks, he still used magic in order to concentrate on studying alchemy.

Just by flicking his sleeves in front of these people, these people honestly revealed the conspiracy behind them with dull eyes...

The truth was revealed, and the 'Tianxie quack' became the 'Tianxie divine doctor' again.

However, Yang Che also took the opportunity to announce that the Purple Heart Hall would only open for consultation and dispense medicine in the morning on odd days of each month, and would not receive anyone at other times.

With this, Yang Che's peaceful life began.

Previously, Yang Che had searched the memories of Jiang Wudao and Yuwen Ji, and he already knew that the two used the 'Nine Red Underworld Scroll' of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to enter the Nine Nether Purgatory out of selfishness.

And the first domain general of the Suzaku Realm, the white-haired and brown-skirted old woman 'Zhong Mu', did not know.

So Yang Che was not worried that Zhong Mu would chase into the Nine Nether Purgatory.

But Zhong Mu would also find a way in the Nether Mountains, that was for sure.

Every afternoon, Yang Che would hold the "Xuantian Pharmacopoeia" and study it carefully.

It seemed that every time he studied it, he would have a different understanding.

And every evening, little Tong Kang would bring him two scallion pancakes and a bowl of hot soup on time.

After Yang Che finished his meal, he would teach little Tong Kang how to read and practice medicine.

After Tong Ping'an finished a day's work, he would come over to drink and chat with Yang Che, mostly about the gossips of Luoyou Village.

When Tong Ping'an and his son went back to rest, Yang Che continued to comprehend the 'void magic' and 'law of gravity', and finally entered into daily meditation.

...

In this way, more than three years passed.

Little Tong Kang was exactly six years old.

One day, Yang Che suddenly told Tong Ping'an that he wanted little Tong Kang to come to his place every day to take a medicinal bath, saying that it would strengthen the body.

Tong Ping'an would not object.

Two years passed like this, and Tong Ping'an's health suddenly began to deteriorate from time to time, getting worse and worse.
