"It seems that you really want to die, but I put you in a life and death dilemma." Lu Chen smiled.
The soul power within his body surged, and the fluctuations emitted by the Animal Controling Stone suddenly doubled in strength. "The runes covering the Devil Ape's body emitted light, and like a red-hot iron, fiercely stabbed into the depths of its flesh. In the midst of the sizzling sound, the Devil Ape felt like tens of thousands of ants were devouring its heart, and its entire body felt pain and itchiness.
Devil Ape did not fear pain. Normally, it would fight endlessly with other beasts, but this was the first time it had experienced such a deep pain, one that could not be compared to the pain of a bleeding wound.
"Aooo …" Even someone as powerful as a Devil Ape could not resist the urge to scream. The sound traveled through the dense primeval forest to who knows how far.
Seeing the effects, Lu Chen poured all the soul force in his body into the Animal Controling Stone. No matter how strong the Devil Ape's will was, facing such torture, it finally wavered, and originally there was still a strong resistance to the invasion of the runes into the demon core, but now the resistance gradually weakened, and the runes started to permeate through, and as long as it could persevere for a while longer, it would succeed!
"Stop!" Suddenly, a voice was heard.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was extremely clear.
The Devil Ape's ears trembled, and its blurry consciousness instantly became clear. At this time, the runes had already reached less than three inches away from the magic core.
"Roar!" It wanted to burn them without a care in the world, so even if it died, it could not become a devil pet with Human Clan!
"Bastard!" Lu Chen's expression changed. He cursed under his breath, if the Devil Ape recklessly activated its bloodline, not only would it lose everything, it would also suffer a violent backlash.
The fluctuations emitted by the Animal Controling Stone became several times stronger, and in that instant, it completely suppressed the Devil Ape. At the same time, the runes on them became extremely sharp, as if they had turned into sharp blades that broke through the defense line and entered the enemy's magic core.
"No!" The Devil Ape struggled fiercely, but it could not move under the Animal Controling Stone's full power. It was filled with unwillingness and anger, and could only watch as the magic core was branded with many layers of seals.
The man and beast were both emitting a golden glow. A drop of essence blood was mixed together, forming a huge contract shadow. "Boom!" The huge explosion shook Lu Chen and the Devil Ape's bodies, finally establishing a master-servant relationship.
Devil Ape's face was full of depression, but after establishing a master-servant relationship, their every movement would be controlled by Lu Chen, so unless they could break through to the Fifth Level Devil Beast level, it would be difficult to break this kind of contract.
"Regardless of whether you are willing or not, from now on, you are my magical pet. If you dare to defy my will, I will let you experience a life worse than death."
"Let's return to the space inside the Animal Controling Stone to recuperate." Through the master-servant contract, Lu Chen's voice appeared in the Devil Ape's mind.
Although it was unwilling, it didn't dare to defy Lu Chen's will by even a little. Especially the feeling of the ten thousand ants devouring its heart just now. Just thinking about it made its scalp tingle.
The Devil Ape's body suddenly shrank, transforming into a stream of light and entering the Animal Controling Stone s. The interior was a natural space, allowing magical beasts to recuperate.
As soon as Lu Chen put away the Animal Controling Stone, the two of them were already not far away.
"Animal Controling Stone? Magic pet contract? " The clear and melodious voice rang out once again. It was precisely this kind of voice that almost interrupted Lu Chen's attempt to tame the Devil Ape.
The one who spoke was a sixteen to seventeen year old girl. She was very beautiful, with fair and clean skin and exquisite facial features. She was frowning as she sized up Lu Chen.
Beside the young girl stood an old man wearing a golden embroidered robe. When he opened his eyes, they revealed a faint glimmer. Lu Chen noticed that the soul power fluctuations on the old man's body were restrained, but the suppression that he felt was still as strong as before. Just a strand of his aura was as vast and terrifying as an endless ocean, even his father, Lu Zhentian, was countless times weaker!
"Someone who has surpassed the Innate Martial Master Stage!" Lu Chen's eyes darkened as he felt a wave of pressure.
"Who are you?"
"They actually used Animal Controling Stone s to subdue Devil Ape." The girl seemed to have a hint of unhappiness in her tone as she asked with suppressed emotions.
Hearing that, Lu Chen gave him a glance. Disdain and indifference filled his eyes. Just now, he had almost ruined his plans and he had no intention of talking to them.
"Hey!" I'm asking you, what's with your attitude? " The young girl frowned and asked. Ever since she was young, she had always been the apple of the family's eye. Since when did she ever get looked down upon like this? Seeing Lu Chen being so carefree, she immediately became angry.
Lu Chen turned around and walked out. He did not want to lower himself to the same level as a girl, and judging from their attire, they were not of simple origins. They must have come from either wealth or status. Don't forget that this is the Devil Cloud Mountain Range, and danger lurks everywhere. The two of them are able to charge into the central region, and not only are they powerful, they are likely to be inheritances of some major power. Before he becomes strong, he wasn't willing to interact too much with such a person. Otherwise, it was very possible that it would affect his Lu Family.
"Halt!"
"Why aren't you talking? Was it a mute? When I speak to you, are you not at all courteous? " The young lady snorted, and in the next moment, she stood in front of Lu Chen. Although she did not reveal too much of her Qi, Lu Chen was able to tell from this move that Lu Chen was not an ordinary Martial Cultivator Stage character.
"Who the hell are you? "Looks like they are hunters from the mountain range, right?"
"If it was a hunter, how could you have gotten Animal Controling Stone? Could it be that the bandits stole it from someone else? " She had a high status, and the people she came into contact with before were all young talented people, or people with great authority and influence. She somewhat looked down upon Lu Chen's poor appearance, and if it wasn't for the fact that she was surprised that the former had subdued the Devil Ape, she wouldn't even want to ask him about it.
"Bai Yunlai, don't be rude." The young girl was about to mock him, but was stopped by the old man beside her.
From the moment the old man observed the surroundings and Lu Chen's reaction, he seemed to have a lot of self-restraint. His tone was calm and steady, but even though he hid it well, Lu Chen was still able to detect the old man's superior attitude.
"Animal Controling Stone are very precious, many powerful martial cultivation families would give them to their successors, I wonder which family this young man is from?" Staring at the Animal Controling Stone in Lu Chen's arms, the old man's expression became serious. Animal Controling Stone s were like chicken ribs to true experts, but in some super families, they would be bestowed with young disciples.
"I picked it up casually." Lu Chen replied plainly.
"Which family are you from?"
"A small clan is not worth mentioning."
"Hmm?
The old man frowned. Lu Chen's tone didn't sound like he was lying, did he make a mistake? However, he did not feel too surprised. Lu Chen's soul power was not strong, and seemed to only be within the Martial Cultivator Stage Realm. If it really was those heirs from those super families, then his true strength would not be so low, right?
Thinking about this, his expression relaxed a little. Since Lu Chen was just an ordinary rogue cultivator, then things would be a lot easier.
"Young man, let's not hide the truth. We came to Devil Cloud Mountain Range precisely for this Devil Ape." With a kind smile, the old man looked at the Devil Ape with a burning gaze.
"I am willing to use the Soul Stone to exchange for this Devil Ape. What do you think?"
"Nope." Lu Chen refused without thinking.
"Young man, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Soul Stone are more important to you, and if I'm not wrong, you have to take advantage of the damage done to Devil Ape and their battle, and I am willing to give you three hundred thousand Soul Stone to exchange for it."
"Grandfather and he don't need to talk much nonsense. If he dares to not give us anything, then there's no need to be courteous." The girl got angry when she saw Lu Chen's indifferent attitude.
The old man's gaze flickered when he heard the young girl, seeming to be slightly moved.
Lu Chen was both angry and amused, but he wasn't too worried. Although he could not see through the old man's cultivation level, he should be a Innate Martial Master Ranker. Even if he wanted to make a move against him, he still had a way to escape. However, he didn't want to easily use the secret technique to deplete his vitality.
"Duo'er, don't speak nonsense."
"Young man, you'd better listen to my advice. When this magical beast is back to normal, you won't be able to suppress it with your cultivation. If there is a backlash, you'll be dead or heavily injured."
"In addition, to be honest, my grandson has a strange poison in his body, and needs the blood essence of Devil Ape to improve the quality of the detoxification pill, so I hope you can give it to us." After musing for a moment, the old man did not have any intention of making a move. Instead, he slowly spoke.
Lu Chen was not some fledgling young man. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't see through his background, this old man would have already robbed him. This kind of thing happened endlessly among martial artists. However, the old fellow was quite cautious and did not act recklessly. Otherwise, he would have felt that there was a little trouble.
Just now, in order to subdue the Devil Ape, he had used up all of his soul power. Even if he used a secret technique to escape this place, it would consume too much energy.
However, this was the first time he had heard of magical beast blood being used to improve the quality of antidote pills. Was this a new pill refining technique that was developed on the continent?
"Show me the pill formula."
"No, why should I show it to you?" The girl quickly stopped him, as if Lu Chen was an eyesore to her.
"No worries, just take a look." This is the pill formula written by a pill refining master. Because I had some ties with him in the past, he was willing to lend a helping hand. " The old man smiled amiably with a hint of pride. A pill master was extraordinary; even ordinary martial forces would find it difficult to get him to help, let alone develop a pill formula.
"Wrong." Lu Chen shook his head as he took a glance.
"Wrong?" The girl called Bai Yunlai suddenly got angry when she heard that. She took two steps forward and pointed at Lu Chen.
"You dare to say that my grandfather's pill formula is wrong?" This is nonsense. " Bai Yunlai stared at Lu Chen with disdain.
He was just a young kid who was only 16 or 17 years old. Not to mention that he didn't even know any alchemy, Bai Yunlai felt that Lu Chen was talking nonsense like a fool.
"Bai Yunlai, step down." The old man said in a deep voice, but his face was also sullen, and his tone was clearly not friendly.
"This young man doesn't know his place, but he shouldn't speak carelessly. This pill formula was personally written by Grandmaster Gu. Furthermore, I've asked the other two pill refiners to verify it. There shouldn't be any problems." The old man had a head full of silver hair, and his face was flushed red. When he spoke, he exuded a terrifying aura, giving off a very strong sense of oppression.
"Was it not clear enough? This pill formula is wrong! " Lu Chen's voice was not loud, but his tone was calm.
"Arrogant fellow, I'll definitely teach you a lesson today." It had to be known that her family was abnormally powerful and belonged to a colossus in the entire Blue Cloud Sect. She had long since become accustomed to such a tyrannical existence, and to put it harshly, even the Sect Master s of the Blue Cloud Sect would have to be courteous to her grandfather when they saw him.
"Are you sure?" Grinning, Lu Chen shook his head. Naturally, he could tell that the cultivation level of the girl in front of him was not bad, as she had already reached Fighter 8-dan. But this so-called strength was nothing in front of him, after all, Lu Chen was able to kill even a rank 3 beast with Martial Master Stage.
He had already made up his mind. If there really was a conflict, he would risk it all and use a secret technique to leave this place. However, he didn't want to rashly use it unless it was the most dangerous level.
Although the old man wanted to stop him, he changed his mind when he saw Lu Chen's attitude. Although he no longer had the competitive spirit of a young man, he was still a big shot on the side.
Plus, Lu Chen said that his pill formula was wrong, which made him really unhappy.
It was time to teach these arrogant youths who didn't know their place in the world a lesson.
