These sacred pills are all from the treasure vault of the Sea Worship Sect, with the weakest being of the middle ancient grade. Each one could fetch a sky-high price outside, attracting countless powerful figures to vie for them.
This time, in order to restore those sixty percent shattered immortality crystals, Chu Fengmian swallowed more than thirty sacred pills in one go. A massive influx of medicinal power surged, causing the immortality crystals to begin condensing all over again.
Each of these sacred pills is as valuable as a life to a martial artist at the demigod realm, or even those in the Heavenly Human Realm. During a crisis, just one such pill could save a life.
Now, Chu Fengmian swallowed more than thirty in one breath; it was truly extravagant.
Yet such extravagance was something Chu Fengmian could afford. This time, when Chu Fengmian infiltrated the palace within the Sacrificial Lake, he seized a tenth of the sacred pills within in one fell swoop.
The sacred pills in that palace were as numerous as the stars in the sky, numbering over a hundred thousand.
Though Chu Fengmian only took one tenth, it was still more than ten thousand pills—a truly astronomical figure.
Not even a Heavenly Human Realm strongman could possess over ten thousand sacred pills.
Moreover, this time, Chu Fengmian slayed Lan Ming, the protector elder, and an old ancestor of the Sea Worship Sect, all prominent figures within the sect, each with an abundance of wealthy sacred pills.
Now, Chu Fengmian was truly wealthy and bold. Consuming more than thirty sacred pills to recover his injuries was of no concern to him.
A large amount of medicinal power surged into the immortality crystals, and soon each of the immortality crystals was completely remolded, recovering its previous strength.
However, at the same time, a series of demon shadows suddenly appeared in Chu Fengmian's mind.
These traces of demon intent bore boundless power, tempting him. Should Chu Fengmian open his Dao Heart and accept these demon shadows, he would be imbued with unbeatable strength.
These demon shadows were the demon intent lurking within the heart of the Blood Evil Demon Emperor.
The demon intent in the heart of the Blood Evil Demon Emperor, though not capable of devouring Chu Fengmian's power, was more than enough to influence his mind.
At the moment Chu Fengmian fully focused on healing his injuries, the demon intent permeated his consciousness, tempting him.
The powers within each demon shadow were irresistible to any martial artist or demon god in pursuit of power.
The allure of an instant ascent to power would lead one, if not careful, to fall completely under the control of demon intent.
However, Chu Fengmian's expression was icy cold, and with a snort, all the demon shadows exploded in his mind, vanishing without a trace.
With his Dao Heart, even capable of subduing the Heart Demon King, the residual demon intent within the heart of the Blood Evil Demon Emperor was enough to affect Chu Fengmian, but it couldn't possibly erode him.
Indeed, this was partly due to Chu Fengmian's firm Dao Heart, strong enough to resist demon intent.
Secondly, Chu Fengmian was not currently cultivating but merely recovering from injuries, thus he could allocate mental focus to deal with the demon intent.
This kind of demon intent was manageable under normal circumstances and could be resisted by most martial artists and demon gods.
Yet, at moments of distraction, the demon intent would become extremely troublesome, difficult to deal with when facing formidable foes or during breakthroughs when one couldn't focus on countering the demon intent, leading to insidious erosion by it.
Throughout history, many powerful entities became demonic after being subtly corroded by demon intent in times of crisis, unable to resist and suddenly descending into madness.
Even Chu Fengmian didn't dare attempt to breakthrough realms under demon intent erosion, but recovering from injuries and cultivating posed no problem.
One day, two days, three days passed.
Chu Fengmian's sixty percent shattered immortality crystals had fully recovered, with all fragmented crystals reconsolidated.
At the cost of over thirty sacred pills, the abundant essence power not only reconsolidated the shattered immortality crystals but also infused them with new strength.
Although these newly condensed immortality crystals were yet far from the might of the four ascended through immortal power transformation, they were considerably stronger than when shattered by the Sea Sacrifice Emperor.
Injuries were completely healed.
Chu Fengmian felt significantly at ease.
Once healed, should an opportunity present itself, Chu Fengmian could escape from the belly of the Primordial Whale Emperor.
Now what Chu Fengmian needed to do was wait for an opportunity—wait for the Primordial Whale Emperor to engage in a battle or for some accident to occur, weakening the inner world's defenses.
At that moment would be the chance for Chu Fengmian to break free.
But such an opportunity was not easy to come by, and Chu Fengmian was in no rush.
He sat quietly in the belly of the Primordial Whale Emperor, and in front of him, numerous Jade Bottles were taken out of his Space Ring and opened.
Besides the demon intent influencing one's consciousness, there was also a concentrated aroma of medicine by Chu Fengmian's side.
Chu Fengmian had plundered a vast number of sacred pills from the palace in the Sacrificial Lake; these pills were extremely useful to him, especially those with body refining effects that could aid in tempering his immortal true form.
Chu Fengmian originally planned to leave the Azure Sea Star Field and seek a safe place to slowly refine them.
But now the belly of the Primordial Whale Emperor also served as a safe place.
Aside from the demon intent's erosion, there was nothing to disturb Chu Fengmian.
And since the demon intent followed the heart of the Blood Evil Demon Emperor, it posed no threat to Chu Fengmian. This belly of the Primordial Whale Emperor was now an ideal place for Chu Fengmian's cultivation.
Chu Fengmian was targeting the timing to refine these sacred pills while waiting for the right moment.
Chu Fengmian took out a bottle of sacred pills, specifically the middle ancient sacred body refining pills, known as Golden Element Sacred Pills.
Inside the Jade Bottle, there were more than a dozen Golden Element Sacred Pills. Chu Fengmian opened the bottle, immediately activating the Swallowing Heaven Secret Technique to refine all the dozen or so Golden Element Sacred Pills.
The dozen Golden Element Sacred Pills were swallowed by the Swallowing Heaven Secret Technique, instantly crushed and transformed into numerous strands of refined medicine power surging into each immortality crystal, consumed and refined by each one.
In a few minutes, the medicine power of the dozen Golden Element Sacred Pills had been completely absorbed, and the strength of each immortality crystal increased by a fraction.
The 129,600 immortality crystals within Chu Fengmian's body had already undergone numerous transformations, and the stronger they became, the more sacred pills were required to enhance their power.
