Chapter 230: Newcomer of the Demon Court

The events in Tianqing City continued to ferment, gradually spreading throughout Qingming Province and radiating toward the surrounding regions.

Xu Qingyao and Ouyang Hao believed that as long as Lin Jing heard the news, he would immediately understand that Senior Sister had already helped him resolve the Taixuan Sect matter and would quickly return to the agreed-upon location to meet!

However, Xu Qingyao and Ouyang Hao waited for a long time, but Lin Jing still had not returned!

“Did this guy get captured by a demonic sect while fleeing?” Xu Qingyao wondered suspiciously.

“Unlikely—Junior Brother’s illusion skills can even deceive those at the Soul Transformation stage; it won’t be that easy for him to run into trouble—” Ouyang Hao spoke.

They were also puzzled at this moment; in such a short time, where could Lin Jing have run? Logically, he shouldn’t have been able to go far. It wasn’t until the two had waited a while longer, nearing the agreed date between Senior Brother Ouyang and Lin Jing, that Lin Jing slowly opened his eyes within the Hourglass World—

“It took nearly a year, but I’ve finally reached the entry level of the Three Heads Six Arms Technique. It’s not bad; though it wasn’t easy, it wasn’t as difficult as the Heavenly Demon Body.”

Standing on the grit with three heads and six arms, Lin Jing looked like a monster.

Unfortunately, the only effect of this Spell in its current state was to allow him to simultaneously activate six Magic Treasures. However, he currently lacked a matching set of handy Magic Treasures.

Although Lin Jing’s hands were currently full of whips, hammers, swords, and halberds…

They were all spoils of war from the Grotto-Heaven—at most Medium Grade, and not things he knew how to use.

The power of this Spell lay in the ability to drive multiple Magic Treasures. But if the user didn’t have enough Magic Treasures, or if the treasures were low-quality and didn’t fit well, this Spell would be somewhat useless.

“It’s fine as long as I’ve learned it. I can find handy Magic Treasures slowly. I need a set of six treasures that complement each other! But in the best state, I should have six Pet Beasts transform into weapons using Beast Transformation Treasures.”

Lin Jing retracted his Dharma Body. Feeling that the time was about right, he looked at this still-barren grit world and shook his head.

The environment here was strange. The Pine Leaf Squirrel had spent a long time trying to plant trees and create a forest, but not a single plant managed to survive…

Fortunately, although the environment was poor, at least the core effect was astonishing. Lin Jing had spent a long time inside learning Three Heads Six Arms, so not much time should have passed in the outside world.

Besides his own significant gains, the Fire Scale Dragon had also worked hard to refine the pills it owed and had successfully cultivated Yang Flame after a long time.

Its Yang Qi wasn’t as abundant as a Primal Yang Body, but as a fire dragon, its Yang Qi was not something ordinary creatures could compare to. After spending even more time, it finally replicated Senior Brother Ouyang’s exotic fire.

By now, it possessed five major exotic fires, and its power had reached a level of Perfection that was almost bursting. Even with its Dragon Emperor Bloodline,

its current body could hardly withstand any more power.

What it needed to do next was compress and condense the power within its body into an invincible demon core, allowing its body to undergo a brand-new transformation and pursue a higher Realm of power!!!

“Hmm??”

Concealing his figure, Lin Jing returned from the Hourglass Space. He fell into contemplation as he looked at the two people in the Pill Pavilion—one slumped on the table and the other draped over a chair, both dozing off.

He left the Pill Pavilion for a moment, then walked back in, dispelling the third layer of concealment illusion on his body. He had already understood what was happening from the outside world.

“Senior Sister, Xu Qingyao—”

At this moment, as Lin Jing dispelled his invisibility illusion, Xu Qingyao slowly lifted her head from her slumped position, her expression unfriendly.

“The Saint, I presume. You’ve finally arrived.”

Lin Jing scratched his cheek, feeling it was better not to tell her that he had been in the alternate space near the Pill Pavilion all along.

“Why aren’t you speaking?” Xu Qingyao looked at the young man in the fire-cloud pill robes, very surprised. Although she had heard Ouyang Hao say this Beast-Taming Saint’s illusion skills were remarkable, she hadn’t expected them to be this good; her demon sense couldn’t even see through his true appearance beneath the pill Master’s transformation.

No wonder he’s a Longevity Physique and hasn’t died yet; he’s got some skills!

“Junior Brother!” At this time, Senior Brother Ouyang also woke up. He looked at Lin Jing in pleasant surprise while cursing in his heart; if he had known, he wouldn’t have made the appointment with Lin Jing so late. This kid really knows how to cut it close!

“Thank you, Senior Sister and Senior Brother, for helping me out of that predicament—” Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, “Thank you so much. That Grotto-Heaven

was truly an accident.”

“So, do you still insist on staying out here alone?” Xu Qingyao stood up and spoke. “Little Junior Brother, come back with me. My palace isn’t in the same place as the Demon Court. There are only Demon King-level experts nearby. With your level of illusion skill,

your identity won’t be seen through.”

“Of course, I know you must be worried about encountering Yao Beasts at the Demon Ancestor level, or even a Demon Emperor!”

“But rest assured, His Majesty the Demon Emperor is in seclusion year-round and never shows his face.”

“And the Demon Ancestors within the Demon Court basically stay within their own ethnic spaces. Of course, if you come back with me, meeting a Demon Ancestor in the future is inevitable, but if you have this, it won’t be a problem. What do you think?” She took out a demon core and tossed it to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing caught the demon core, his heart skipping a beat.

A Demon King’s core?!!!

The moment he touched the demon core, Lin Jing knew its function.

“In the Demon Court, there is a tribe called the Biyi. Even before they began cultivating, when they were just ordinary beasts, they all had the ability to change color and become invisible. They are very special.”

“After cultivating, they become even more proficient in the art of transformation. A Biyi at the Demon King level can easily deceive even a Demon Ancestor, pulling the wool over their eyes.”

“Among them, the demon core of the Biyi tribe has the effect of strengthening illusions. This Biyi Demon King Core is something I exchanged from the Demon Court treasury a long time ago for my own safety. I don’t need it now, so I’m giving it to you. With your illusion level, combined with the boost from this Biyi demon core, you won’t have to worry about your true self being revealed before the Demon Ancestors of the Demon Court.”

“How about it? Can you come back with me now?”

Lin Jing held the Biyi Demon King Core and grinned, saying, “No problem. From now on, Senior Sister, wherever you go, I’ll go; whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do. I will definitely refine that Transformation Pill for you!”

After wandering for so long, was it that Lin Jing didn’t want to settle down? Of course not. It was purely a lack of a sense of security, but now, Senior Sister had given him plenty of it.

He felt she was more reliable than Senior Divine Pine!

“What is the name of this Incarnation of yours?” Xu Qingyao also smiled, very satisfied with this Saint who knew how to adapt to the situation.

“Wandering Pill Master. I haven’t given it a name yet,” Lin Jing said.

“The fictional Master you created is named Fire Dragon Pill Master, so you can just be called Fire Dragon Pill Master. You are a pill dao Guest Elder under me, Xu Qingyao, the Demon Court Saintess. A newcomer to the Demon Court!”

“I’ve heard your strength is decent. Besides researching the Transformation Pill, I might occasionally ask you to engage in some battles. That won’t be a problem, right?” The corners of Xu Qingyao’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Battles?” Lin Jing was puzzled.

“Among the three Saintesses of the Demon Court, there are actually differences in resources, status, and treatment. A Demon Court Saintess usually needs to increase her power through three methods.”

“First, her own strength.”

“Second, the progress of her research into the Dao of Transformation.”

“Third, the potential of the followers under her command.”

“Between the three Saintesses, there are usually contests where the talented and potential followers under their command compete against each other for power and profit. Because I joined the Demon Court the latest, I have fewer potential Yao Beasts under me, and even fewer human geniuses—only a few sons of Demon Kings are usable. So, I’ve been at a disadvantage in this regard every time. If we can change that, we can also obtain more resources to research the Transformation Pill.”

“I see. Then leave it to me.” Lin Jing nodded. Even without relying on the Pine Leaf Squirrel and the Ice Soul Gu, he should still be quite strong based on his illusions and the Fire Scale Dragon alone.

“Is that so? You really are dependable. Then first, raise your Pet Beast’s cultivation to the Golden Core stage. The Saintesses don’t need followers at the Foundation Establishment Stage; the battles are basically all among demon cores—your fire dragon is already at Foundation Establishment Perfection, right? Do you need me to prepare a Core Formation treasure land for you?”
