Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

Several days later, a bright and clear morning arrived.

Deep within the Demon Abyss Sea, inside a pavilion of the Azure Ripple Sect.

A ray of light shone through the window, illuminating Ning Lu's face. Even with his eyes still drowsy, it couldn't conceal his handsome and elegant appearance.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

A series of hurried knocks sounded.

"Hmm? Who's looking for me so early in the morning? Could it be Elder Xuan Yun? Now that I think about it, it probably is! Within the entire sect, besides him, who else would I know?"

Thinking this, Ning Lu immediately went to the door and slowly opened it.

However, after pushing the door open, what entered his sight was the appearance of an unfamiliar young man!

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul realm?" Ning Lu carefully sensed the other party's aura, then asked with a puzzled tone, "This fellow Daoist, you and I are strangers. Have you perhaps found the wrong person?"

"I haven't found the wrong person! The one I seek is you! Elder Feng Qi!"

The young man's tone was firm, and a hint of subtle cunning flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ning Lu immediately became vigilant, narrowed his eyes, and continued to inquire.

"You and I have never met before. What do you want from me?"

"I am He Yao, an inner sect disciple! I have come here to make a deal with Elder Feng!"

He Yao spoke directly, concisely and clearly.

"What deal? Tell me about it!" Ning Lu's interest was immediately piqued, and he listened attentively.

"I wonder if Elder Feng knows about the Ink People Kingdom deep under the Demon Abyss Sea?"

He Yao asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Lu immediately recalled Tang Chen and Xiao Chuxuan's conversation outside the Blazing Flame Gate that day. It seemed that Tang Chen's words constantly revealed the importance of the Ink People Kingdom to his own disciple, as if some treasure was hidden within!

"I've heard of it before, but I'm not familiar with it. Please tell me the details, friend He Yao!" Ning Lu said frankly.

"The Ink People Kingdom was established by a group of unusual people, located on the seabed of this sea area. They have avoided the world for many years, and every ten years, they will trade with people from the outside world!" He Yao explained.

"What do they trade?" Ning Lu's heart also began to fill with some interest.

"In the dungeons of the Ink People Kingdom, there is an ancient creature imprisoned, called the Bubble Whale. Legend has it that this creature is now on the verge of extinction. Apart from the one the Ink People Kingdom openly trades with, at least in the eyes of the world, no second one can be seen!

This Bubble Whale's cultivation is not high, only at the mid-stage Core Formation realm, but every ten years, after a period of rest, it will give birth to five to ten Bubble Fish, attracting everyone to buy them despite having to overcome many difficulties!

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Ning Lu suddenly found it very interesting.

"Because the effect of the Bubble Fish is to increase the probability of Gu insects advancing! I clearly know that Elder Feng obtained a River Devouring Cicada from True Monarch Molong. If you want to advance, the probability of failure is extremely high! But after having this Bubble Fish, the probability will undergo earth-shattering changes!

If you want to advance a Core Formation quality Gu insect to Nascent Soul quality, you need one Bubble Fish, which can increase the probability to one hundred percent! If you want to advance a Nascent Soul quality Gu insect to Divinity Transformation quality, you need two Bubble Fish, which can increase the advancement probability to one hundred percent!"

As He Yao spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile of complete confidence.

"Hmm! According to what you've said, then I really have to make a trip to this Ink People Kingdom! I wonder, what are you going to trade with me?"

Ning Lu had roughly guessed what the other party wanted to trade, but he deliberately asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yao took out an ice-covered pendant from his hand and said confidently.

"Elder Feng! I not only know that you have a River Devouring Cicada, but I also know that if you want to advance the River Devouring Cicada, one of the methods requires a high-quality ice-attribute magic treasure!

Because I have a Core Formation grade Gu insect in my hand, I am in urgent need of a Bubble Fish! I will use this ice pendant to exchange for a Bubble Fish with you, is that okay?"

He Yao thought that Ning Lu was lacking an ice-attribute magic treasure, but little did he know that he already had a Frost Ice Fan in his hand, and he didn't need the pendant in front of him at all!

Even so, Ning Lu still responded with a smile: "No problem!"

After all, there's no such thing as too many good magic treasures. Now that Ning Lu is invincible in the Nascent Soul realm, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to get three Bubble Fish.

Even if something unexpected happens in the end and he can't bring back the Bubble Fish for He Yao, he can just make up an excuse. If the other party can't swallow this anger, he can just kill him!

"This He Yao is indeed a clever person. He wants to use the ice pendant in front of him to link me and him into a relationship of mutual benefit! In this way, he can ensure that he is in an invincible position and will not suffer any life-threatening dangers! But what he never expected was that I already have an ice-attribute magic treasure in my hand!"

Ning Lu sneered repeatedly in his heart, looking calmly at this self-righteous young man.

At this moment, he only heard He Yao adding.

"Elder Feng, the Ink People Kingdom will open for trading in less than a month. I have already applied for the funding from the sect in advance, but Gu Ye, the Third Leader of the Ancient God Sect, has a Nascent Soul grade defensive Gu insect, the White Jade Gu. In order to advance it to a Divinity Transformation grade True Jade Gu to cope with the upcoming Heavenly Demon Origin, this Divinity Transformation expert will also be going to the Ink People Kingdom this time.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the kingdom, the Ink People Kingdom has set up various illusionary restrictions on the entrance passage and placed various great demons, making it extremely dangerous! That's why I specially came to Elder Feng for help!"

"Sigh! I was just thinking that nothing unexpected would happen on this trip? But now you're telling me that a Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Ancient God Sect is also going to the Ink People Kingdom, so I have to be more careful!"

Ning Lu complained repeatedly in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

"Alright, friend He Yao, I want to ask, besides the Third Leader Gu Ye of the Ancient God Sect, who else will be going to the Ink People Kingdom this time?" Ning Lu asked.

"The entrance to the Ink People Kingdom is dangerous, and there are actually not many people going! It's just a few people from our three major forces. In our sect, it's just me and you. From the Ancient God Sect, it's Third Leader Gu Ye, Elder Liu Cheng, and a disciple named Shi Chuan. From the Blazing Flame Gate, it's Elder Tang Chen and their sect's genius Xiao Chuxuan!"

He Yao described in detail.
