Chapter 152: Chapter 60: Exterminating the Fi

The seven islands affiliated with the Five Elders Association are a thousand miles apart, surrounding the main island and forming a large sea fortress.

Compared to Linglong Island, Pearl Jade Island has more sea demons for sale.

Next to the Island Lord’s Mansion, there is a special area for cultivating sea demons, the most famous of which is the Purple Crystal Salamander that aids in Foundation Establishment.

Li Jizhou arrived at the cultivation area, communicating with Bai Yi with his mind, confirming that the Four Nether Old Demon was indeed in the Island Lord’s Mansion, which aligned with his suspicions.

The Five Elders Association has held the main island for too long, requiring annual tributes from the seven islands. Over time, it is normal for some to desire to replace them.

Nowadays, Han Zhuo, with his mastery of the Four Nether Arts, is a pawn that can be used.

Not paying much attention to the power struggles in this region, Li Jizhou casually entered a shop for spirit beasts.

“Fellow Daoist, are you here to purchase a Spirit Pet?”

The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

For hunting and treasure hunting in the sea domain, Spirit Pets are essential, and Pearl Jade Island is renowned for cultivating sea demons, attracting many to purchase Sea Demon Spirit Pets daily.

“I have all kinds of Spirit Pets here, not all are displayed; you can have a look first, and if you have other needs, feel free to let me know.”

Li Jizhou glanced around; the store only had Tier One sea demon cubs, most of which had a Middle Grade bloodline, with the potential to advance to Tier Two.

The variety was extensive, surpassing land-based demon beasts tenfold.

However, most were water attribute demon beasts.

“Shopkeeper, I’ve already bought a few spirit beasts. I’m here to ask if there’s any way to accelerate their advancement. In recent years, resources in the nearby sea domain have dwindled, so I want to try the deep sea domain.” Li Jizhou asked calmly.

In the past, at the Rong family’s Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain market, Rong Jiangyan had explained in detail that whether a spirit beast could advance depended on its bloodline and itself; external aids had little effect, especially for advancing from Tier One to Tier Two.

However, advancing from Tier Two to Tier Three was akin to Human Race cultivators forming a Core, requiring the condensation of a Demon Pill, achieving the status of a Tier Three Great Demon, comparable to a Human Race True Core cultivator.

Nonetheless, the Rong family had no experience with Tier Three Great Demons, as they couldn’t even obtain Crystal Condensing Pills and spiritual objects for Human Core Formation, let alone Demon Pill materials for spirit beasts.

“Then you’ve come to the wrong place! For demon beast advancement, you have to go to the Island Lord’s Mansion’s Beast Taming Hall. Not only do they have experience with advancement, but they also know about Demon Pill condensation!” the shopkeeper said disinterestedly.

Li Jizhou raised an eyebrow, surprised that there was such a place!

He immediately took a walk around and released the aura of Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, heading straight for the Beast Taming Hall.

Beast Taming Hall was bustling, with cultivators constantly bringing their Spirit Pets for consultation, making the business more than prosperous.

This greatly increased Li Jizhou’s confidence.

After some inquiries, Li Jizhou understood that a former Island Lord of Pearl Jade Island was a beast taming prodigy, the Purple Crystal Salamander being one of his research outcomes, with profound studies on water attribute demon beasts.

For water attribute demon beasts advancing from Tier One to Tier Two, a Top-Grade bloodline guarantees an eighty percent success rate.

A Middle Grade bloodline has a fifty percent success rate.

There are special pills for accelerating the evolution of small stages for Tier Two demon beasts.

However, unfortunately, the issue of Tier Three Demon Pill formation, which could affect the harmony and stability of the sea domain governed by the Five Elders Association, is taboo, and ordinary people are not eligible to inquire about it, requiring Li Jizhou to make plans.

Moreover, according to an unintentional revelation from a female cultivator, even if Tier Three Demon Pill formation were possible, it would command an astronomical price and couldn’t be traded with Spirit Stones but only exchanged for special resources.

Regarding this aspect, Li Jizhou wasn’t worried as he had plenty of special resources in his storage bag, including many Core Formation materials accumulated by Master Qingmu and Han Di, not to mention several premium Youthful Appearance Pills, a premium Tier Two late-stage Breaking Rank Pill, even Tier Two advanced Talismans, and a Quasi-Third Tier Puppet, among others.

These resources are certainly special in the Five Elders Association sea domain.

The only thing missing is the qualification.

Li Jizhou purchased a bottle of Blood Spirit Pills, said to accelerate Tier Two demon beast evolution, and just as he left the Beast Taming Pavilion, an idea struck him, revealing the reason behind the collusion between Pearl Jade Island and Han Zhuo.

The direct line of the Five Elders Association on the main island consisted of only one Core Formation, and three Fake Pills, while most of Pearl Jade Island’s Island Lord’s Mansion consisted of those at Middle Stage Foundation Establishment at most, yet capable of nurturing Tier Three demon beasts.

Such power is comparable to a True Core cultivator.

This has long been a thorn in the side of the direct line of the Five Elders Association on the main island.

Just then, a group of people emerged from the inner hall of the Beast Taming Pavilion.

Leading them were a stunningly voluptuous female cultivator respectfully accompanying a goateed elder.

With a slight sense of time, the elder’s lifespan of three hundred and eighteen years identified him as a Fake Pill cultivator.

His robe was similar to Han Di’s, bearing the golden thread emblem of the Five Elders Association’s main island.

He must be one of the three Fake Pills of the Five Elders Association’s main island.

“Master Shangshan, rest assured. I will gather the Blood Evil Pill for you as soon as possible. I believe your prized treasure will be able to advance to a Tier Three Great Demon within a few years!”

“Hahaha, good, good, Xiaoyan. You’ll be well rewarded when the time comes.” Master Shangshan laughed as he left.

Subsequently, Li Jizhou saw him stride directly into the Island Lord’s Mansion.

Not lingering any further, Li Jizhou returned to his residence on Linglong Island.

“Blood Spirit Pill?” Holding the Blood Spirit Pill in his hand, he noticed with his Tier Two advanced Pill Master experience that the pill’s blood scent was overly strong.

Moreover, it held a significant demon beast aura.

“Perhaps it was refined using the demon core and essence blood of a Tier Two advanced demon beast.”

No wonder a single Blood Spirit Pill costs nearly two thousand Spirit Stones.

Given this, there may be some truth to what was said.
