My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

The Ten Thousand Spirits True Fire had been burning fiercely inside the Pill Furnace for a full seven days.

Though Si Taizhen’s Magical Power was formidable, she had reached the point of utter exhaustion. She no longer even had the strength to protect her own clothes. Her Treasure Robe had long since been incinerated into ash by the astonishing heat of the Ten Thousand Spirits True Fire.

She had simply revealed her True Body, transforming into a Soaring Serpent over twenty zhang long. The scales on her back were a cool, dark color, which transitioned to a creamy white on her belly, all shimmering like jade.

Unlike the other Snake Demons of the Jade Poison Kingdom, whose appearances were sinister and ferocious, brimming with dark Demon Qi, Si Taizhen’s Soaring Serpent form was graceful. Her serpentine body was long, slender, and supple, possessing some of the aura of a legendary Auspicious Beast.

She coiled her body into a Snake Array, protecting her mother in the center.

Inside the Pill Furnace, the shimmering, silvery Ten Thousand Spirits True Fire seemed endless. The various Demons it manifested tried to bypass Si Taizhen’s body to incinerate the mother protected within the Snake Array.

The sheer depth of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Magical Power far exceeded Si Taizhen’s expectations.

Danxia True Monarch manipulated the various Restrictions on the Purple Qi Spirit-Birth Furnace while simultaneously fueling the Ten Thousand Spirits True Fire, methodically forcing Si Taizhen to drain her Magical Power layer by layer.

The consumption of energy was far greater than for normal Alchemy, yet Danxia True Monarch showed no signs of fatigue. He looked as vigorous and full of spirit as ever.

He had once stood watch before a Pill Furnace for five years straight. A mere seven days was no pressure at all.

"To last until now before your Magical Power is depleted... You are truly worthy of being a rare breed, my dear niece."

Danxia True Monarch clapped his hands in delight.

As an Alchemy Grandmaster, his Qi Cultivation Skill was superb, but because this Innate Chaotic Qi was crucial to his path forward, he couldn’t help but feel a bit impatient.

He formed a one-handed Mantra, and the seven Crown Princes of the Jade Poison Kingdom shot up into the air, flying into the Pill Furnace.

There is a great terror that lies on the brink of death. Seven days of refinement had left the seven Crown Princes haggard and gaunt, their faces pale and miserable.

"The Dao hearts of you seven nephews are far too lacking. To offer yourselves up and become a great medicinal ingredient to help myself and Fellow Daoist Jade Poison break through our shackles and achieve a great leap in our Cultivation—what an honor that is."

In the eerie glow of the fire, Danxia True Monarch’s face was a shifting mask of light and shadow. He looked less like a high-ranking cultivator of the Righteous Dao and more like a heinous demon lord who would stop at no evil.

The seven Crown Princes’ spirits were broken; they didn’t even have the strength to retort.

The Ten Thousand Spirits True Fire, like a living thing, seared their flesh. The Jade Poison Great Saint had placed a Restriction on each of the seven Crown Princes, making it impossible for them to muster any Demon Power to resist.

Amidst wretched, blood-curdling screams, the True Fire forced them to reveal their True Bodies.

In an instant, seven giant serpents of varying sizes and scale colors appeared in the Pill Furnace. Their Scale Armor was menacing, their eyes were yellow with Vertical Pupils, and a few even had sharp horns.

The seven Crown Princes possessed a noble bloodline and were all first-rate experts among their peers. Now, however, they had been reduced to mere Spiritual Materials for Alchemy.

Danxia True Monarch took out a stack of Spirit Talismans from his sleeve. These Talismans were exceptionally bizarre; their material seemed to be human skin, and they were inscribed with all sorts of strange, twisted Demon Patterns. A few glances were enough to make one’s head spin.

He gathered his Magical Power and blew on them, and the Spirit Talismans instantly came to life. The various Celestial Demons sealed within crawled out of the Demon Prohibition, whispering among themselves and letting out strange laughs.

If the Talisman User’s Power was insufficient to intimidate these Celestial Demons, they would suffer a backlash in an instant.

Danxia True Monarch snorted coldly, making the Celestial Demons tremble in fear. He carefully controlled his Magical Power, afraid of accidentally killing them with the force of his aura.

If the Celestial Demons died, the Spirit Talismans would become useless. These particular Spirit Talismans were crafted by a Nascent Soul Old Demon from the Northern Continent and had flowed into the Central Continent through secret channels, making them incredibly valuable.

The lid of the Pill Furnace opened, and Danxia True Monarch tossed the stack of Spirit Talismans inside.

The Celestial Demons on the Spirit Talismans flew out like moths, a dense black cloud numbering in the tens of thousands.

Danxia True Monarch used his Magical Power as a catalyst, driving the Celestial Demons into a frenzy. As soon as they entered the Pill Furnace, they madly swarmed toward the bodies of the seven Crown Princes.

In a flash, the massive serpentine bodies of the seven Crown Princes were completely covered by the Celestial Demons.

Some gnawed on their scales, creating a grating SCRAPING sound that set one’s teeth on edge. Others targeted weak points like the eyes, nostrils, and anus, burrowing into the serpents’ bodies.

The seven Crown Princes let out earth-shattering screams. They knew they were going to die, but they had never imagined their deaths would be so horrific.

Watching the fate of her seven brothers, a complex and inscrutable expression appeared on Si Taizhen’s face. Her relationship with her brothers was not good, but seeing one’s own kind suffer still stirred something within her. ’How could I not feel something?’

’Even though I’m inside the Pill Furnace and can’t see what’s happening outside, I know my father is definitely watching. What’s inside this Pill Furnace is the very foundation for his path to enlightenment. How could he possibly entrust everything completely to Danxia True Monarch?’

’To sit by and watch his own children die so miserably, all for the sake of his own breakthrough to Divinity Transformation... ’ Although she had long given up hope in the Jade Poison Great Saint’s character, her father’s actions had once again hit a new low.

She resolved in her heart, ’Since my father and Danxia True Monarch are trying every means possible to get something from me, I will do everything in my power to ensure neither of them gets their wish.’

The screams of the seven Crown Princes grew fainter and fainter. After a few hours, the Celestial Demons had devoured them completely, scales, bones, and all, erasing them utterly from the world.

After absorbing the seven Golden Core Snake Demons, the Celestial Demons’ aura surged. They became even more ferocious, the red light emanating from them almost bursting out of their bodies.

Seeing that the time was right, Danxia True Monarch immediately brought out a Triangular Demon Banner and began chanting a Demon Spell.

Demon Patterns flickered on the Triangular Demon Banner as it began to drive the Celestial Demons toward Si Taizhen. Sensing imminent doom, the Celestial Demons struggled desperately to resist, emitting ear-piercing, shrill demonic howls, but they were completely unable to defy the Restriction on the Demon Banner.

These Celestial Demons, now infused with the Essence Blood, Demon Power, and Divine Souls of the seven Crown Princes of the Jade Poison Kingdom, surged toward Si Taizhen like fledgling swallows returning to their nest, enveloping her massive serpentine body.

Unlike how they had devoured the seven Crown Princes, the moment the Celestial Demons touched Si Taizhen, they melted into her body like snowflakes falling into a hot spring.

Si Taizhen felt a continuous stream of Vitality pouring into every scale, every muscle, and every strand of her Divine Soul.

In an instant, all the Celestial Demons that had filled the Pill Furnace were completely absorbed into Si Taizhen’s body.

Although the methods of the Demon Sect often came with severe future consequences, their effects were immediate.

Si Taizhen’s physical body had already been refined to near-perfection, making every bit of progress incredibly difficult. Now, however, it began to strengthen at a visible rate. An endless Giant Power surged within her, and her scales began to glow with a precious light, as if they were Celestial and Earthly Treasures themselves.

An unprecedented power gathered within her. Si Taizhen could even faintly sense new Divine Techniques brewing in her body. Her previously exhausted Magical Power began to gush forth in her Dantian like a spring.

A sharp glint flashed in Si Taizhen’s eyes. Her enormous serpentine body suddenly shot up, ramming toward the wall of the Pill Furnace. She intended to use this newfound power to kill herself right then and there, rendering her father and Danxia True Monarch’s efforts completely futile.

"Freeze!"

Danxia True Monarch had already anticipated this and pointed a finger at Si Taizhen.

Si Taizhen’s serpentine body froze in mid-air, unable to move. She was shocked to discover that she had completely lost control of her Magical Power and her physical body.

"My dear niece, when I used the Seven Veins Transformation Technique on you, how could I not have employed a few other tricks?"

Danxia True Monarch said with a benevolent smile.

Along with the Celestial Demons that had merged into Si Taizhen’s body, there was also a Demon Prohibition he had acquired. This Prohibition was called the Celestial Demon Body-Seizing Spell. Anyone afflicted by this Curse would not only have their body and Magical Power controlled by the caster, but their Divine Soul as well, turning them into the caster’s complete and utter Puppet.

Of course, this technique was also extremely difficult to perform. Not only did it have exceptionally high requirements for the caster’s Demon Cultivation, but if the target resisted with even a sliver of Magical Power, it would disrupt the Demon Prohibition and cause the spell to fail.

The entire reason he had gone to such great lengths to exhaust Si Taizhen’s Magical Power with the Ten Thousand Spirits True Fire was to smoothly implant the Celestial Demon Body-Seizing Spell within her.

As the Celestial Demon Body-Seizing Spell activated, Si Taizhen’s eyes immediately became wooden and lost all their light.

"Zhen’er! Zhen’er!"

Thanks to Si Taizhen’s protection, Min Zhiyun was almost unharmed. Seeing her child’s current state, she rushed to embrace the serpentine body, pouring her own Magical Power into it as if it were free.

Si Taizhen’s body was like a corpse, showing no reaction whatsoever.

A tongue of the Ten Thousand Spirits True Fire flew out, instantly incinerating Min Zhiyun’s body into ash.

"The Body-Seizing Spell is complete. You have no more use."

Danxia True Monarch waved his sleeve, using his Magical Power to extract the ashes from the furnace as if they were an impurity from the Alchemy, and prepared to formally begin extracting the Innate Chaotic Qi.

This qi was a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. Even for him, if Si Taizhen had so much as a thought of resistance during the extraction, there was a chance of failure. Only after successfully casting the Celestial Demon Body-Seizing Spell could he guarantee a one-hundred-percent success rate.

Just as he was about to begin, Danxia True Monarch suddenly turned his head. The Jade Poison Great Saint had walked into the Alchemy Room.

"What is it? Does your heart ache for your beloved daughter, or are you blaming me for killing your favored concubine?"

His expression was displeased. The Innate Chaotic Qi was critical to his Divinity Transformation Dao; he could not afford any mishaps.

The Jade Poison Great Saint snorted coldly. Compared to his Great Dao, Si Taizhen was as insignificant as a feather. As for Min Zhiyun, he had never given her a second thought.

"There’s been a complication. Demon Cultivators have been lurking nearby recently. I captured one to interrogate him, but the White Bone Demon showed up and intervened. He might have discovered something. How long will it take you to extract the Innate Chaotic Qi?"

As a veteran Demon, the White Bone Demon’s Power was not as great as his, but if they truly fought, it would be difficult to determine a winner quickly. Moreover, there were other Nascent Soul Old Demons in the Jade Poison Kingdom.

"Damn it! It will take at least three days! Wasn’t that old demon searching for Xuyu Coral? Why did he suddenly fixate on you? Could news of the Innate Chaotic Qi have leaked?!"

Elder Danxia’s expression changed. The treasure that would allow him to achieve Divinity Transformation was within his grasp, yet unexpected complications kept arising, filling him with a pent-up rage he could not vent.

"You just focus on extracting the Innate Chaotic Qi. I will hold off that White Bone Demon."

The Jade Poison Great Saint said confidently. He had come to inform Danxia True Monarch simply because he was worried the aftershocks from their battle might startle him, causing him to fail at the final step.
