Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 311: Success and Rewards



Translator: Cinder Translations

During this corpse refinement, Song Wen was very careful and cautious. Moreover, with Fang Pengyi and the others watching nearby, he intentionally slowed down the pace of the refinement.

It took a full four days to complete this corpse refinement.

A large amount of corpse energy was injected, and after taking the Ziyun Mushroom to restore vitality, it was once again dispersed by the corpse energy.

The human snake's body trembled violently, clearly enduring immense pain.

The luster on its scales gradually faded, replaced by a dead, dull gray.

In the human snake's vertical pupils, there was a mixture of pain and hatred, as if it were accusing the heavens of injustice.

The four people beside it, however, had expressions of joy.

Completing another corpse refinement meant they were one step closer to achieving full Mystic Qi.

"It seems that after one or two more refinements, the Mystic Qi will fill the entire snake body," Fang Pengyi said, his face unable to hide his excitement.

He then asked Song Wen, "Elder Wu, when do you think the next refinement would be appropriate?"

Song Wen replied, "The human snake's life force is increasingly fragile, and its body is taking longer to adapt to the corpse energy. The next refinement will likely need to wait two months."

Fang Pengyi murmured, "Two months? That's quite a while. For the sake of caution, let's go with what you said. Remember to notify the three of us in advance for the next refinement. We will protect you."

Five months later.

Under the watchful eyes of Fang Pengyi and the others, Song Wen conducted the nineteenth corpse refinement on the human snake.

The refinement process was quite perilous, as the human snake's life force fluctuated at times.

If Fang Pengyi and the others had not been present, as soon as the human snake's life signs began to weaken, they would immediately give it the Ziyun Mushroom to forcefully keep it alive. Otherwise, the human snake would likely have already turned into a cold corpse.

"Ha!"

After several days of continuous corpse refinement, Song Wen let out a long sigh of relief.

This refinement took even more focus and energy than making a fake third-tier silver corpse, leaving Song Wen feeling exhausted with a tired expression.

However, despite the arduous process, the outcome was gratifying.

The human snake's physical body had less than three inches of its tail remaining that was not covered by Mystic Qi.

Song Wen estimated that he just needed to wait a few days for the corpse energy and life force in the human snake to slowly merge, allowing its body to naturally achieve full Mystic Qi.

Ten days later.

As Song Wen had expected, the human snake's entire body was filled with Mystic Qi.

After receiving the message from Song Wen through the communication jade slip, Fang Pengyi's face was filled with wild joy.

He could not wait to take out a jade slip and send out a message.

A few moments later.

Yang Yu's figure appeared in Song Wen's cave.

Upon seeing the condition of the human snake, even though Yang Yu was a Nascent Soul strongman, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that you from the Alchemy Peak really succeeded. Full Mystic Qi, excellent."

Fang Pengyi slightly bowed, his respectful demeanor unable to conceal his surprise.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, this is all thanks to Elder Wu. Not only is he gifted in corpse refinement, but he has also tirelessly guarded and cared for the human snake's mysterious corpse, not daring to relax for a moment. After years of effort, he finally succeeded in allowing the human snake to achieve full Mystic Qi."

Song Wen also put on an excited expression, bowing with cupped fists and saying, "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, the human snake's mysterious corpse achieving full Mystic Qi is mainly due to Sect Leader Fang's strategies. He has assisted the disciples in refining corpses many

times."

"There are also Elders Liu Jiang and Rong Jingyun, who contributed significantly. I have only done a small part, not worthy of Sect Leader Fang's praise."

Fang Pengyi turned his head, gratefully looking at Song Wen.

He was very pleased with Song Wen's words.

Unlike some who only understood hard work and were clueless about human emotions and relationships, Song Wen was quite articulate.

Yang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Rest assured, your contributions will not go unrecognized."

"Fang Pengyi, I once promised that I would select the next sect leader from the first peak to

achieve full Mystic Qi."

"After ten years, Zhu Feichen will step down as sect leader, and you will be the next sect

leader."

Fang Pengyi was extremely excited and bowed deeply with cupped fists.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Thank you, Supreme Elder."

Yang Yu then turned to Song Wen.

"Elder Wu, the refinement of the human snake's mysterious corpse and the integration of Mystic Qi are largely due to your efforts. Given your current low cultivation level, I bestow upon you some spiritual stones and treasures, hoping they will assist you in condensing your

Golden Core."

As he spoke, Yang Yu handed Song Wen a storage ring.

"Thank you for the treasures, Supreme Elder."

Yang Yu continued, "Currently, there is only one human snake that has achieved full Mystic

Qi, which is still insufficient."

"Elder Wu, you need to continue refining corpses. The more human snakes with full Mystic Qi,

the better."

"Fang Pengyi, you are responsible for gathering the necessary spiritual materials for the

corpse refinement."

"There's no rush on this; you can take your time with the refinement."

Song Wen and Fang Pengyi bowed in response.

"Disciples obey."

Yang Yu nodded.

Then, he took the human snake with full Mystic Qi and disappeared into the cave.

After Yang Yu left, Song Wen and Fang Pengyi exchanged compliments for a while.

During this time, Song Wen got distracted and probed his spiritual sense into the storage ring.

Inside the storage ring, there were only two items.

One was spiritual stones-thirty high-grade spiritual stones.

Theoretically, they were worth thirty thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

However, in reality, very few people would exchange high-grade spiritual stones for medium

or low-grade ones.

High-grade spiritual stones contain more pure and concentrated spiritual energy and are often used to arrange formations of third tier or higher, or during breakthroughs.

The second item was a silver token, engraved with the character 'Merit.'

Unsure of the token's purpose, Song Wen held it in his hand, looking confused as he asked,

"Sect Leader Fang, what is the use of this token?"

Fang Pengyi, who was immersed in thoughts of soon becoming the sect leader, glanced at the

token in Song Wen's hand, slightly startled.

"This is the sect's merit token. There are three types of merit tokens: bronze, silver, and gold, corresponding to the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages, respectively."

"The silver merit token allows you to access all techniques, secret arts, texts, insights, and

methods related to the Foundation Establishment stage in the sect without spending contribution points."

"In other words, with this token, you won't need contribution points anymore."

Song Wen's eyes lit up.

With this silver merit token, he could exchange for Foundation Establishment techniques,

insights from the sect's predecessors about beast taming, and all second-tier techniques.

Suddenly, Song Wen thought of something and asked, "Can I exchange for the Golden Core technique of 'Longevity Technique'?"

Fang Pengyi replied, "Unfortunately not. The Golden Core technique of 'Longevity Technique' is a third-tier technique and is not included in the exchanges for the silver merit

token."

He then asked in return, "Is Elder Wu cultivating 'Longevity Technique'?"

Seeing Song Wen nod, Fang Pengyi continued, "This was included as a little token of

appreciation for your help in helping me ascend to the position of sect leader."

"Thank you, Sect Leader." Song Wen's expression was filled with excitement as he cupped his

fists in gratitude.
