After Yang Chen returned, he was faced with many pairs of expectant and greedy eyes. Some were even impatient.
"I have proven that I have the ability to purify demonic aura." Before Ying Mei could speak, Yang Chen had already said loudly, "It's time to take out the promised reward, right?"
"You are indeed a master. Your skills are extraordinary." Before Ying Mei could speak, the voice that questioned Yang Chen from the depths of the valley had already appeared. "The things have been prepared for you. Come over and count them!"
Li Cheng and the four women had been cultivating in the Black Tortoise Shield these days. They only removed the shield after Yang Chen returned. The other party called Yang Chen inside to count the rewards. The four women and Yang Chen also followed.
Safety was not a concern for the time being. Seeing that the portal was about to open, these people would not want to cause trouble at this time. Moreover, more than ten experts had already made a Heart Demon Oath. If anyone dared to do anything, it would definitely be against those people.
The fire seed elixir recipe that Yang Chen had requested was said to have been prepared. However, it was not with a specific person. Instead, the owner registered it and then came over to hand it over to Yang Chen on the spot.
It could not be helped. These people actually did not trust each other. No one would really believe that if they handed over their things to someone, that person would not be greedy and take everything away. Moreover, some elixir recipes were considered secret techniques. Handing them over to someone for safekeeping was equivalent to obtaining the elixir recipe without paying any price, right?
It had to be said that the more experts were, the richer they were. Yang Chen only asked for the sixth-grade demonic fire, but a few experts actually took out four kinds of seventh-grade demonic fires in order to get the opportunity to enter the portal of the ruins first. This made Yang Chen very surprised.
These seventh-grade demonic fires were not included in the previously proposed reward. They could be converted into low-grade demonic fires or exchanged with Yang Chen using the Devilish Bead. However, if they used the Devilish Bead to exchange, it was obviously not a price but an equivalent transaction. It would not be included in the price of entering the portal first. Therefore, these people all chose to convert it into low-grade demonic fires.
Although the Demon Fire was precious, if it couldn't be used, it could only be passed down as a family heirloom. Who knew how many generations of descendants it would take before someone could use it? Now that he was using it to exchange for the Mental Demon Sect's cultivation techniques and Dharma treasures that he could use immediately, it was relatively worth it.
In this way, Yang Chen's gains far exceeded his expectations. There were hundreds of types of Devil Flames, ranging from the first grade to the seventh grade. Yang Chen had only asked for 20 types of elixir recipes, but now he had received more than 50, which was more than double.
As for the extra items, Yang Chen had said that he was willing to exchange them with Demonic Beads or Spirit Stones. Not everyone in the Demon Sect was so generous. Some people pretended to be smart and chose to exchange for Spirit Stones or Demonic Beads.
The entrance of the ruins was protected by thick Devil Qi, and it was full of danger. Who knew if there were more dangerous things inside? Although the first to go in had the greatest chance, the risk of facing unknown dangers was also the greatest. Basically, the first to grab the opportunity were the dozen or so old devils with the highest cultivation base. Most people were still ranked in the middle.
Since such a method was adopted, of course, there was an order. Those who took out the least valuable things or could not pay at all were ranked at the end. Anyway, these things had been discussed and resolved by them internally. It had nothing to do with Yang Chen. Yang Chen only needed to receive the rewards or exchange these fire seeds with Spirit Stones and Demonic Beads.
Yang Chen did not have extravagant expectations for the materials and the elixir recipes. The best quality materials were different from the elixir recipes. The elixir recipes only needed to be copied, and the fire seeds could also be strengthened and split through a unique cultivation method. For these guys, the loss was not big. But the best quality materials were one less, and no one was willing to hand them over.
However, now Yang Chen was very satisfied. It was worth the hard work of this trip to receive unexpected fire seeds and elixir recipes. This time, the Yin-Yang Heaven Burning Fire would be more perfect.
After handing over these rewards, Yang Chen finally came to a formation that had been arranged under the leadership of Ying Mei. This was the key for everyone to enter one after another. Inside the formation was the portal of the ruins.
There were more than a dozen old devils who were qualified to enter first. After stuffing a jade card to Yang Chen, they took Yang Chen directly into the formation. Ying Mei didn't pay much, so he was not qualified to go in with Yang Chen.
The range covered by the formation was not large, only a few hundred feet. The center was the portal of the ruins, and the portal filled with Devil Qi only occupied a few dozen feet.
Standing outside the portal of the ruins, Yang Chen had the opportunity to observe the portal carefully. It was said to be a portal, but in fact, it was a huge round stone slab with countless exquisite patterns carefully carved on it. In the middle of the patterns, there was a flash of spiritual power from time to time.
Unlike the occasional flash of spiritual power, the entire round stone slab was wrapped in a layer of shiny black Devil Qi. The Devil Qi didn't look thick, and it didn't release any aura. In this regard, it was similar to the current Nine Nether Flying Sword.
Seeing that Yang Chen was looking at the thin layer of Devil Qi with some disapproval, the old devil in the lead warned him solemnly, "Don't look at this Devil Qi as inconspicuous. It's very dangerous, so be careful."
Yang Chen's safety was now related to whether everyone could enter the ruins of Mental Demon Sect, so everyone was very concerned. Although the others didn't speak, they all nodded repeatedly. They were all people who had suffered greatly from this thin layer of devilish qi, so they naturally had a deep understanding of how formidable this devilish qi was.
When it came to understanding Devil Qi, there were certainly few people who could surpass Yang Chen now. Yang Chen crouched down and stretched out his hand to gently touch the layer of Devil Qi.
The old devil next to him was about to stop him when he suddenly remembered that Yang Chen was a master at purifying Devil Qi, and that Yang Chen's movements looked very cautious. He resisted the reminder and watched patiently on the side.
In the past, when the old devils touched the Devil Qi like this, it would directly trigger a violent attack, and they would unconsciously produce a heart demon, which would take a long time to adjust. This was just a light touch. If they dared to take a step inside, the heart demon would absolutely flare up, and the whole person would become crazy, living a life worse than death.
There were more than one or two people who didn't believe in evil. Many people thought that after many years of experience on the Demon Continent, they didn't care about the small invasion of Devil Qi. There were also dozens of people who had fallen and lost their lives next to this door, all of whom were experts at the late and peak Dacheng stage. After so many lessons, people finally realized how powerful it was and didn't dare to take a step inside casually.
The people inside and outside the array all looked at Yang Chen eagerly, waiting for the result of his touch.
