The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

After a conversation with Hu Xing, the alchemist was quite frank. He did not hide his poverty, nor did he intend to deceive these poor demon cultivators. The remaining money from the elixirs used for demon cultivation is only enough to maintain basic living. He proposed that if Huxing needed elixirs, he would need to prepare all the medicinal materials for the elixirs by himself, and he could refine them for free. Since the level of this elixir was not high, two completed elixirs would be given to each person. If there are more than one, Hu Xing can take two. As for the alchemy furnace, registered alchemists from the Alchemist Guild will bring their own, so Hu Xing doesn’t need to worry.

The Alchemist Guild's understanding of the demon clan is relatively accurate. Transformation demon cultivators like Hu Xing are indeed poor. It would be difficult for a hundred transforming demon cultivators to find ten mid-grade spiritual stones. Although Hu Twenty-san once had a rich family, there was very little left after years of traveling and supporting Hu Xing's cultivation. It was wishful thinking to buy a Condensing Pill directly from the Alchemist Guild to turn it into an elixir. They couldn't even afford the elixir-making materials.

After many days of observation, the alchemist desperately discovered that the demon cultivators were poorer than imagined, and most of them had poor intelligence. Only Hu Xing, the tiger monster, behaved very politely and was eager to learn and ask questions, so he answered all his questions as much as possible. Unfortunately, this little tiger is also poor and cannot provide any wealth.

However, on the day Hu Xing said goodbye to Fox Twenty-three, he made a bold suggestion to the alchemist. This proposal made the alchemist hesitate for a long time, but considering his rather limited reserve of spiritual stones, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Hu Xing's request.

Hu Xing's bold suggestion was to go to the secret realm to collect rare herbs. There happened to be a secret realm called "The Other Shore" nearby that was about to open. This secret realm did not restrict entry to cultivation levels. It was said that it was very dangerous inside. It was said that a great demon king in the realm of enlightenment had fallen. in.

There are no air restrictions in the secret realm of the "other shore", and there are no heavenly materials or earthly treasures. I have never heard of any treasures being born. Each opening time is one month. Once the time is up, if the monks do not leave the secret realm, they will become mysterious. Missing. What makes this secret realm with high risks and low returns so famous is that it hides a demon cultivator who has been promoted to the Demon King from this realm. The secret of promotion may be hidden in it.

In various realms of the Saint Clan, demon cultivators in the Demon Clan's territory can call themselves Demon Kings if they think they are strong enough. Those with strong strength are even regarded as Great Demon Kings by many Demon Kings. However, it is extremely difficult to be promoted from the Great Demon King to the Heavenly Demon King. The Heavenly Demon King is not just a manifestation of the strength of the Great Demon King that can leave the realm, but must be recognized by the heavenly law of the realm and serve as a It is known to all the demon clan in the entire Star Territory.

The Heavenly Demon Kings are very secretive about the promotion conditions, which has led to widespread rumors about this secret in various places, but it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not, and the cost of trial and error is high. Therefore, most of the Great Demon Kings are quite cautious about these rumors and do not dare to try it easily.

But the "other shore" secret realm seems to be a little different. Every time the secret realm is opened, no less than five demon kings will enter the secret realm to compete for opportunities.

Hu Xing is not keen on exploring the secrets of the Sky Demon King, so he is not too concerned about why these great demon kings trust the rumors in the secret realm of "the other side". But it has heard many rumors about demon cultivators who survived the secret realm. Although the terrain outside the secret realm is steep, there are many medicinal materials suitable for use by demon cultivators in the elixir and transformation realm. It is even possible to find Yuanying realm people and demon cultivators. Useful treasure grass.

Since demon cultivators below the Transformation Realm often have low intelligence, they usually do not get involved in the field of trading elixirs. Therefore, the Alchemist Guild will not actively invest in research on elixirs for demon cultivators below the level of transformation. In addition, because the physical resistance of demon cultivators is different from that of human cultivators, herbs suitable for transforming demon cultivators often grow in places filled with poisonous miasma, and their medicinal properties are more powerful.

Among the many areas in the realm, these dangerous places are usually the training grounds for demon cultivators above Nascent Soul. For Hu Xing, the environment in these places itself is extremely dangerous. However, the situation in the secret realm on the "other shore" is different. Although the central area is full of dangers, it is said that the danger of the secret realm comes more from the demon cultivators who enter it. Although the terrain in the outer area is steep, it can be selected by the Great Demon King as the location for promotion to the cave. Even in the outer area, it must be a very suitable spiritual land for cultivation, without risks such as poisonous poisons. Moreover, the opening time of the secret realm is limited, and high-level demon cultivators will not stay in the periphery at all, so Hu Xing thinks it is worth the risk to go there to collect some medicinal materials. Even if it cannot collect all the refining materials for the Condensing Pill, it can still sell the excess medicinal materials in exchange for the materials needed for the Concentrating Pill.

Hu Xing didn't know much about pharmacology, so he had no choice but to invite the alchemist to accompany him. However, although the human alchemist showed interest at first, he decisively refused when he heard that it was a dangerous secret realm.

Hu Xing was not discouraged. During the communication with the alchemist, it noticed that there were some demon cultivators who were interested in the alchemist's prescription. Although these demon cultivators were not very active due to the gap between the demon clan and humans, Hu Xing could see the throbbing in their hearts. As a demon cultivator, Hu Xing relied on the unique power of the tiger clan and the way of life he learned from Fox Twenty-three, and he actually convinced these demon cultivators one by one to explore the secret realm together.

When Hu Xing led twenty demon cultivators in disguise appeared in front of the alchemist, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He realizes that if he can successfully complete this transaction, it will bring great wealth, which is enough to solve his current predicament. The alchemist appears hesitant in the face of risks and benefits.

Hu Xing further assured the alchemist that these demon cultivators would protect his safety and that the group would only operate on the periphery. As long as they dealt with the dangerous terrain carefully, they would not encounter dangers that they could not handle. This promise further wavered the alchemist.

In order to completely dispel the alchemist's concerns, Hu Xing also promised that if any herbs usable in the Nascent Soul Realm are found in the secret realm, they will all be given to the alchemist. Even if they don't find the Nascent Soul Realm medicinal herbs, they will take 20% of the medicinal materials they get as reward.

Under the temptation of huge profits, the alchemist finally made up his mind to go with Hu Xing and his party and venture into the secret realm. This decision undoubtedly changed the fate of Hu Xing and Hu Twenty-three.

The trip to the “other shore” is full of adventure and reward. Hu Xing and his party achieved fruitful results in the secret realm, but they also paid a heavy price. Among the twenty-one demon cultivators, only Hu Xing left the secret realm with scars all over his body.

In the secret realm, Hu Xing met a great demon king who failed to seize the treasure, and successfully helped him escape safely. When leaving the secret realm, apart from Hu Xing, there was only the great demon king and his last guard left on the outside. The three demons each embarked on different paths after leaving the secret realm.

The alchemist gained a lot from this adventure and brought a large amount of precious medicinal materials back to the Alchemist Guild for sale, quickly solving the problem of the shortage of spiritual stones. It was very optimistic about Hu Xing's courage and luck, and planned to invest in the future. It not only helped Hu Xing refine the Condensing Pill, but also provided financial support. Later, after Hu Xing became the demon king, this alchemist became one of the important middlemen in its transactions with the human race.

Hu Xing did not return to Fox Twenty-three immediately, but stayed in the market for some time. During this period, it needs to wait for the elixir from the alchemist. On the other hand, this is also the arrangement of the great demon king. The residence in the market was rented by the Great Demon King. After handling the affairs of the territory, the Great Demon King planned to thank Hu Xing.

Soon after, the alchemist entrusted a handyman monk from the Alchemist Guild to deliver the elixir to Hu Xing. At the same time, he also gave Hu Xing a storage ring, which not only contained some pills to help him practice, but also a lot of spiritual stones. The monk who delivered the goods also told Hu Xing that the alchemist now lives in a mansion in the human city. If Huxing has the opportunity to go there in the future, he can use the transmission talisman to contact this address in advance. The owner of the mansion will arrange time in advance to receive it.

Hu Xing was not idle. The demon cultivators who entered the secret realm with him found information about these demon cultivators' relatives before and after his death, or through instructions before his death, or through Hu Xing's subsequent exploration. Most of them are local demon cultivators nearby, and Hu Xing used the supplies in the storage ring to comfort their relatives one by one. For some monsters that have not yet opened their intelligence, Hu Xing also recorded their auras and locations, and would come back to look for them when he became stronger.

However, Hu Xing only found relatives of nineteen of the twenty demon cultivators. There is a relative of the bull demon, and it cannot find any clues nearby.

When the great demon king came with a group of personal guards to look for Hu Xing, it had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​​​looking for the ox demon's relatives. After the Great Demon King learned what Hu Xing had done, he was deeply moved, greatly appreciated Hu Xing's affection and righteousness, and promised that he would help Hu Xing find the whereabouts of the ox demon relatives.

The Great Demon King wanted to recruit Hu Xing, so he asked about its future plans for demon birth, and learned that it was willing to venture into the secret realm of the "other shore" just to help an elder of a foreign race. The Great Demon King's righteous act towards Hu Xing I admire him even more. Later, it accompanied Hu Xing to the secluded place of Fox Twenty-three. As soon as the experienced demon king saw Fox Twenty-three, he immediately understood the trouble in his heart. It pointed out that even if he uses the Condensing Pill, if he does not solve the troubles of emotional tribulation in his heart, Fox Twenty-three may not be able to reach a higher realm in this life.

Hu Xing recalled this, his eyes fell on the six-foot-long three-tailed red fox lying on the ground exhausted in front of him, and he couldn't help but smile. It jokingly said: "Fox Twenty-three, the last time I saw you in this miserable state was when I was solving your love crisis. Is your 'old lover' called Chu Liu or Chu Qi? It was so real at that time I almost killed you."
