His body was continuously pierced, and his demonic power was steadily depleted. After a short time, the robust elder’s demonic power was exhausted, his damaged body ceased to regenerate, and his life force swiftly dissipated. But for him, this was a form of release!Su Changkong easily dealt with this Demon Monster, a stern expression crossing his face, aware that the situation had now changed—the great turmoil had truly begun.
Su Changkong spared a glance at the Mo Family and others below, hiding in terror within the Array. He did not pay them much heed, knowing that all he could do was to eradicate the Demon Monsters.
"First, I should meet with Medicine Saint Hua Shan and understand the current situation."
Leaving the area, Su Changkong headed straight for Red Medicine Valley, the residence of Medicine Saint Hua Shan.
Two or three days later, Su Changkong arrived outside Red Medicine Valley, then he walked into the valley carpeted with Spiritual Medicine and Holy Fruits.
Inside Red Medicine Valley, vines that obscured the pathways parted to either side, clearly Hua Shan was aware of Su Changkong’s arrival.
Deep within Red Medicine Valley, Su Changkong found Hua Shan, who, like an ordinary elder, was watering the fields with a watering can.
Seeing Su Changkong arrive, a sharp light flashed in Hua Shan’s eyes as he expressed his surprise, "Your life force... it’s much stronger than before! It seems you have made significant progress!"
"Mm, I owe it to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tomb that Senior Medicine Saint informed me about. I indeed gained a lot from there."
Su Changkong nodded. His trip to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tomb had elevated the Five Animal Frolics to the level of Great Divine Power, which was a qualitative leap for him!
Hua Shan was genuinely pleased with Su Changkong’s breakthrough.
"Senior Medicine Saint, when I was returning to Ancient Holy Country, I encountered Demon Monsters slaughtering human cities. What exactly is the situation now?"
And Su Changkong asked what he wanted to know.
Hearing this, Hua Shan spoke with a serious tone, "Those Heavenly Demons have begun to incite the hidden Demon Monsters within the Ancient Holy Country to stir up trouble, as if they are ready for all-out war. However, we suspect they’re laying a smokescreen."
"A smokescreen?"
Su Changkong was puzzled.
Hua Shan nodded, "Logically speaking, the power of these Heavenly Demons shouldn’t have recovered to their peak. By having their Demon Monsters create chaos at this time, it’s likely they have some other purpose, just to distract us."
Su Changkong’s mind stirred; this was indeed a possibility.
"The Jiang Family has already mobilized their available forces to investigate. I believe we will have news soon."
Hua Shan said.
Su Changkong nodded. The Ancient Holy Country was filled with strong individuals, none of whom were fools. Facing this calamity, everyone was likely more concerned than the next.
"Senior Medicine Saint, if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know at any time."
Su Changkong told Hua Shan.
Su Changkong knew the Demon Monster Clan’s actions were aimed at eradicating everything. He also had to contribute to the fight against the Demon Monster Clan, not just for humanity but also for himself.
Su Changkong had seen with his own eyes how the once glorious True Beasts had ended up as mere skeletons scattered throughout the Ten Thousand Beasts Tomb.
"Alright, with your current strength, you could indeed play a significant role."
Hua Shan nodded in agreement. A Great Divine Power Martial Saint might not seem to change much in the grand scheme, but with Su Changkong’s huge potential, he had a promising future!
For the time being, Su Changkong remained in Red Medicine Valley to cultivate, and he discovered that Hua Shan was extraordinarily proficient in Alchemy.
Hua Shan was known as the Medicine Saint, one of the few at his level in Alchemy in the history of the Ancient Holy Country—far surpassing Su Changkong’s own level!
"Senior Medicine Saint, could you teach me the art of Alchemy?"
Thus, Su Changkong asked Hua Shan. His own Alchemy was not far from reaching the 12th Level. Since it was unlikely that he would make a significant breakthrough in other Martial Arts in a short time, Su Changkong decided he might as well practice Alchemy.
"Of course, I can."
Hua Shan readily agreed.
"Alchemy is the process of turning waste into treasure. It’s not really anything special to refine various Sacred Medicine into Holy Pills. The true path of Alchemy lies in the ability to transform ordinary medicinal herbs into Spirit Pills and Holy Pills..."
Hua Shan shared his understanding of Alchemy with Su Changkong, who listened intently.
Su Changkong also felt somewhat nostalgic, as if he had returned to his days at Black Iron Manor, earnestly studying the Five Animal Frolics from Hua Shan, as if nothing had changed, yet everything had.
"How time flies... In the blink of an eye, decades have passed since those days."
Su Changkong felt deeply reflective.
For a Martial Saint, decades were not a long time, but for ordinary people, that span was half a lifetime, even a whole lifetime!
To someone like Su Changkong, who had attained a lifespan of 5,000 years, this was merely a very short period in his life—survival meant facing more trials and hardships.
"I am pursuing that state of immortality... and this is still far from enough. If they seek to sever my path, then I will eradicate all threats... even if the enemy is a Heavenly Demon, a Heavenly Demon God!"
Su Changkong’s eyes were resolute. The Demon Monster’s ambitions were to extinguish all other living beings, including himself, and thus, one day, Su Changkong would indeed exterminate them!
Under Hua Shan’s guidance, Su Changkong systematically learned to discern the pharmacology of various herbs, understanding their growth environments and the changes they undergo when combined with other herbs. Su Changkong’s Alchemy advanced rapidly.
In the past, Su Changkong only knew the effects of various herbs after they were made into pills; now, he understood the nature of the herbs and why they had such effects after being made into pills—two entirely different levels!
