Chapter 314: Myriad Demon City, Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Grass

Zhou Chen turned around and looked at Zhu Fei indifferently.

"Hmm, as expected of the Pig Yao Clan, you truly are clever. Anything else?"

Zhu Fei licked his lips. "Fellow Daoist, you must have more ancient desolate spirit pearls on you, right?"

"Hand over all the ancient desolate spirit pearls and demon crystals, and I can spare your life."

"Otherwise…"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "You'll be staying here today."

Zhou Chen laughed, laughing very happily.

"I suggest you change your name to Peppa in your next life; you might live a bit longer."

Although he didn't understand what Zhou Chen was saying, Zhu Fei knew it wasn't anything good.

Zhu Fei roared in shame and anger, "Enough nonsense! Kill him! Boys, get him!"

Three Emperor Realm Eighth Layer pig yao attacked simultaneously, pouncing toward Zhou Chen.

But in the next second, they were stunned.

Because Zhou Chen had vanished.

"Where is he?"

Zhu Fei's expression changed drastically.

"Over here."

Zhou Chen's voice came from behind him.

Zhu Fei whipped his head around, seeing Zhou Chen appear behind him at some unknown moment.

"Great Void Yin and Yang Slash."

Zhou Chen raised his hand, and a strand of Sword Qi slashed out.

The Sword Qi vanished instantly, reappearing at Zhu Fei's neck in the next second.

Puchi—

Zhu Fei's head flew up, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.

"You… how are you so strong…"

His voice stopped abruptly as his body hit the ground.

Seeing this, the three Emperor Realm Eighth Layer pig yao were scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"Run!"

They turned and fled.

But how could Zhou Chen possibly let them escape?

"Great Void Eight Desolations Slash."

Eight strands of Sword Qi slashed out simultaneously, attacking the three pig yao from eight different directions.

Puchi puchi puchi—

The three pig yao were instantly slain, not even having time to let out a scream.

Zhou Chen walked to Zhu Fei's corpse and searched a Storage Pouch from his person.

Sweeping it with his Divine Sense, there were ten more ancient desolate spirit pearls inside.

"With this exchange, I've gained one hundred and ten thousand demon crystals for free."

Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction, stowed the Storage Pouch, and after sending them off with Samadhi True Fire, he also left the small grove.

Returning to Little Drill Wind City, Zhou Chen headed straight for the teleportation hall.

This time, he had enough demon crystals.

"Teleport to Myriad Demon City."

Zhou Chen handed the ox yao one hundred High Grade demon crystals.

The ox yao took the demon crystals, counted them, and nodded. "Please enter."

His attitude was much better than before.

After all, Zhou Chen was now a customer who could afford to pay.

Zhou Chen stepped into the teleportation array, and the ox yao activated the Formation.

Boom—

Terrifying spatial power flooded in, and Zhou Chen's body was enveloped by the teleportation array.

The scenery before his eyes changed rapidly, with countless mountains and rivers flashing past his vision.

After about ten breaths of time, Zhou Chen landed.

He opened his eyes.

Before him was a massive city, more than a hundred times larger than Little Drill Wind City.

The city walls were thousands of feet high, cast entirely from purple gold, radiating a terrifying pressure.

On the city gate, three ancient characters were carved—Myriad Demon City.

"Finally here, what a hassle."

Zhou Chen took a deep breath.

Myriad Demon City, the core city of the Ten Thousand Demon Clan, a place where countless powerful Yao Races gathered.

He walked through the city gate.

Inside the city, people were coming and going, with various Yao Races packed densely together.

Moreover, the strength of the Yao Race here was generally very high.

Any random yao on the street had a Saint Realm cultivation.

Emperor Realm yao could also be seen everywhere.

Zhou Chen could feel the city's rejection and hostility toward the Human Race.

The air was thick with Demonic Qi, making one feel oppressed.

"As expected of Myriad Demon City."

Zhou Chen wandered through the city, observing his surroundings.

Soon, he discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Everywhere in the city, people were discussing the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox Saintess's victory celebration.

"I heard the celebration is in three days!"

"The Saintess is truly incredible, to actually obtain a hundred ancient desolate spirit pearl kings!"

"And the Demon Emperor personally received her, granting her countless treasures!"

"It's said there's even a fragment of the chaos bell among them!"

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this news.

It seemed his intelligence was correct.

The fragment of the chaos bell would indeed be awarded to Xi Linger at the celebration.

"Three days later…"

Zhou Chen stroked his chin. "Then I'll wander around the city first and see if there are any other Opportunities."

He opened the System's opportunity panel to check the surrounding Opportunities.

Soon, the panel was filled with dense information about Opportunities.

Most were Low Grade Opportunities of the Yellow Rank and Profound Rank.

But there were also several Advanced Opportunities of the Earth Rank and Heaven Rank.

Zhou Chen picked a few nearby Opportunities, preparing to intercept them.

The first Opportunity was located at a medicine shop in the eastern district of Myriad Demon City.

[Name: Long Aotian.]

[Recent Opportunity: About to obtain Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Grass at a medicine shop in the eastern district of Myriad Demon City. A Spirit Medicine of the Dragon Clan from the ancient era, it grew by absorbing True Dragon essence blood; after refinement, it significantly enhances Bloodline abilities.]

He arrived at the medicine shop and directly found the Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Grass.

The shop owner was a snake yao. Seeing Zhou Chen's interest in the Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Grass, he immediately gave an enthusiastic introduction.

"This Fellow Daoist, you truly have a good eye!"

"This Nine Revolutions Pitcher Plant is the treasure of this shop, worth one hundred High Grade demon crystals!"

One hundred High Grade demon crystals?

Zhou Chen's brow twitched; obviously, the snake yao before him didn't recognize the Dragon Blood Grass and was selling it as cheap Pitcher Plant.

"I'll buy it, wrap it up."

Zhou Chen said indifferently.

The snake yao owner was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic.

"Good, good, good! Fellow Daoist is straightforward!"

He hurriedly took out the Nine Revolutions Pitcher Plant and handed it to Zhou Chen.

He had bought this "pitcher plant" for one High Grade demon crystal, and it had been sitting unsold for a long time. Seeing that it looked good but no one was interested, the owner had been so anxious he was cursing up a storm.

The Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Grass was blood-red all over and shaped like a dragon. However, it didn't radiate a thick Dragon pressure; instead, it was very restrained, so it wasn't surprising the owner misidentified it.

Zhou Chen took the Spiritual Plant and paid one hundred High Grade demon crystals.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting Yao Race Genius Long Aotian's Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Grass, triggering a ten-fold return! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Imperial Rank Top-Grade Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Fruit!]

In Zhou Chen's System space, a fruit the size of a fist appeared.

The fruit was purple-gold all over, radiating a terrifying Dragon pressure and also containing Chaos power.

The Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Grass could only enhance a Yao Beast's Bloodline, but the Nine Revolutions Dragon Blood Fruit could not only enhance the Bloodline but also evolve it into a Chaos Dragon Bloodline!

"That foodie Xiao Hong is in for a treat."

Zhou Chen left the shop and continued to the next Opportunity point.

It was located in a secret market in the northern district of Myriad Demon City.

[Name: Jin Gang.]

[Recent Opportunity: Obtain an Imperial Rank Low Grade Black Yellow Mother Root in a secret market in the northern district of Myriad Demon City. A plant root condensed from the Black Yellow Qi nurtured by heaven and earth; after absorption, it significantly enhances Physical Body strength.]

Zhou Chen arrived at the secret market and soon found the Black Yellow Mother Root.

This was a hidden underground trading market, specializing in trading treasures that couldn't see the light of day.

Zhou Chen disguised himself as a tiger yao and blended in.

Soon, he found the Black Yellow Mother Root.

A badger yao was peddling this Black Yellow Mother Root.

"Black Yellow Sub-Root, an ancient Spiritual Plant, can significantly enhance Physical Body strength!"

"Only fifty thousand High Grade demon crystals, first come first served!"

As expected of the Yao Race, the illiteracy rate was quite high; they frequently misidentified Spiritual Plants.

Zhou Chen walked straight over and said in a deep voice, "Here are fifty thousand demon crystals, I'm buying the Black Yellow Sub-Root."

The badger yao was overjoyed and hurriedly handed the Black Yellow Mother Root to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen paid fifty thousand High Grade demon crystals and took the Black Yellow Mother Root.

These were demon crystals Zhou Chen had previously taken the time to exchange in Myriad Demon City; using ancient desolate spirit pearls, he had exchanged for a full one hundred thousand High Grade demon crystals.

[Congratulations to the Host for intercepting Yao Race Genius Jin Gang's Black Yellow Mother Root, triggering a ten-thousand-fold return! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Black Yellow Divine Tree Sapling!]

Inside the System space, the Black Yellow Divine Tree Sapling was purple-gold all over, radiating thick Black Yellow Qi and Chaos power. Zhou Chen was pleasantly surprised.

This was a legendary divine tree that could nurture countless strands of Black Yellow Qi, its value immeasurable. Placing it inside the Small World could also greatly enhance and stabilize the internal Small World.
