How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 369 - 0364 Custom Treasures

Using his True Qi to torment his body was an extremely painful thing, but Chen Yu, having come this far, did not hesitate to undertake the Body Refining process.

A month later, Chen Yu’s cultivation base was completely stable and began to show a trend of gradual improvement.

Following that, Chen Yu entered the pool of Demonic Qi to practice the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”

The first two layers were relatively easy for Chen Yu as he only needed to convert the existing True Sinister Qi into Demonic Pattern Qi. However, once he had completed that conversion, he felt the speed of his cultivation slow down.

Although Chen Yu’s speed in Body Refinement had always been relatively fast, this Cultivation Technique was a fusion of demonic arts and Body Cultivation. When the speed of True Qi cultivation slowed down, it also somewhat dragged down his Body Refinement.

“It really lives up to being one of the ancient ten great extraordinary techniques; the difficulty is not ordinary.”

Chen Yu didn’t give up.

Although this technique was extremely difficult to cultivate, the effects after mastering it were incomparable to ordinary techniques.

It could be said that if Chen Yu hadn’t switched to cultivating the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” before the competition, he would have had a hard time achieving good results in the Great Success competition.

In the center of the Demonic Qi pool, with only Chen Yu alone, his whole body was enveloped by black water, with bubbles continuously rising to the surface.

Cultivating in the Demonic Qi pool not only increased the speed of cultivation but also improved the effects of Body Refinement.

Two months later, Chen Yu consolidated the third level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” to Great Success and began to push upward.

Chen Yu concentrated on cultivating, oblivious to external affairs, as time flowed away like water.

…

To the south of Yun Zhao Country, a gloomy mist stretched across the chilly gorges below.

Hoo hoo!

Two dim, ghostly flames flickered and shone in the cold wind, revealing a colossal ancient hall’s silhouette in a shadowy and eerie manner.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremor came from inside the ancient hall.

“What did you say? Ren Han is dead?”

In a grand hall, a middle-aged man, whose features were as firm as a sculpture’s and who bore some resemblance to Ren Han, roared.

Boom!

A vast Demonic Qi emanated from behind the man, twisting and leaping in the air, exuding a terrifying aura.

“Yes… Elder Ren, your son’s identity was exposed during the academy’s competition, and he has been killed. His head is still displayed in the square of the No Demon Academy.”

Below, a young man in a black tight-fitting outfit trembled uncontrollably.

“What!”

Elder Ren’s eyes widened, revealing a terrifying expression, and his hand shot out violently.

Immediately, an invisible black Demonic Qi was released, enveloping the young man in an instant, seizing his throat, and lifting him into the air.

Swish!

Suddenly, a weird blood light appeared in the grand hall, rapidly revealing a figure within.

It was a woman with a graceful figure, blood-red hair, and a blood-colored dress adorned with a sinister, vivid blood moon pattern.

“Elder Ren, what has angered you so?”

The blood-haired woman let out an enchanting and seductive voice.

Elder Ren’s eyes hardened, and he gradually calmed down.

“Who is it? Who killed my son?”

Elder Ren demanded in a low voice.

This time, many talents from the four major academies had died, and the results were abundant.

But his own son was miserably killed during the competition, and his previous joy was instantly washed away by rage and hatred.

“It was a student from the No Demon Academy named Chen Yu, and moreover, this person is the top scholar of this academy’s competition!”

Despite being choked, the young man in black managed still to speak.

“Chen Yu! The top scholar of the competition?”

Elder Ren’s face darkened as he recalled carefully, finally remembering something.

Earlier, hadn’t Ren Han sent a message for someone to assassinate Chen Yu? And yet it had failed.

“I’ve heard about this young man, the new disciple of the deputy headmaster of the No Demon Academy. He should be under twenty and yet managed to claim the top spot in the competition!”

The blood-haired woman appeared interested.

“No matter who he is, since he dared to kill my son, I will have him slain!”

Elder Ren’s eyes emitted a fierce light.

Bang!

The black Demonic Qi dissipated, and the young man in black fell to the ground, hastily kneeling, fearful of angering Elder Ren again.

“Don’t be too impulsive, Elder Ren. When I first heard about this boy, he was only at the Early Innate phase. Therefore, his cultivation must not have been at the Innate Peak during the big competition. Moreover, being under twenty, he obviously has a heaven-defying destiny. Such a genius shouldn’t be antagonized. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to our organization and your alliance’s plans if we could draw him in?”

The blood-haired woman cooed, her voice sounding like a demonic tune, both beautiful and alluring yet dangerous and eerie.

“Hmph, what use would it be to recruit someone who hasn’t even reached the Guiyuan Realm?”

Elder Ren’s countenance was cold.

In fact, he had already decided to kill Chen Yu in his heart, but he couldn’t well refute the blood-haired woman before him.

“Elder Ren, do not act rashly.”

The blood-haired woman advised once again.

“Hmph!”

Elder Ren humphed, saying no more.

…

At the No Demon Academy, with nothing else to distract him, Chen Yu resolved to enter retreat, and a year quickly passed.

In this year, Chen Yu’s cultivation improved to the Late Innate phase, and the third level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” reached Great Success.

A third demonic pattern had already begun to appear on the upper front of his chest.

As the final Demonic Pattern fully emerged, Chen Yu could begin cultivating the corresponding Combat Technique of the third Demonic Pattern.

“My swordsmanship has lagged behind in recent times.”

Chen Yu sighed and took out a golden command token from the Smoke-spitting Pearl.

“I’ll go forge an exceptional treasure; meanwhile, I can refine my swordsmanship.”

With this thought, Chen Yu left his residence.

No Demon Academy, as one of the four major academies, not only had dedicated Array Masters, Alchemists, but also Artifact Refiners.

That day, Chen Yu made his way to the artifact forging critical area of No Demon Academy.

From afar, Chen Yu felt a scorching breath emanating from a valley.

Outside the valley, there were four guards currently engaged in conversation with a woman in white.

“Miss Shang, please!”

The four guards opened the Array Barrier with smiling faces.

This woman was none other than Shang Han, the top-ranking beauty of No Demon Academy.

However, Shang Han noticed Chen Yu, her expression froze, and she suddenly looked very unnatural, forgetting to enter the valley for a moment.

“This is a critical area for Artifact Refining, no outsiders allowed in?”

Seeing Chen Yu approaching, the four guards blocked his way.

Moreover, the guards caught the expression on Shang Han’s face; it seemed like they recognized Chen Yu and that their relationship wasn’t too good.

“This is not the place for you!”

One guard shouted sternly and stepped forward with a fierce and authoritative look.

Since Shang Han didn’t like this fellow, they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to make a good impression.

Chen Yu glanced at the four men; it seemed they were stationed here all year round and didn’t know what was happening outside, otherwise they would never dare speak to him in such a manner.

Chen Yu couldn’t be bothered to say more and took out a golden command token.

The moment the command token appeared, the guards’ eyes trembled. Shang Han’s bright eyes also flickered slightly, showing a hint of envy.

That golden token signified that one could request an Artifact Refiner of No Demon Academy to custom-make an exceptional treasure.

“My apologies for the earlier offense, please forgive us,” the guard who had shouted at Chen Yu immediately said with a salute.

Chen Yu ignored Shang Han and went through the barrier first.

Immediately after, Shang Han also hurried in.

“That young man looks somewhat familiar!” said one guard.

“To be so young and yet possess that golden command token… he is no ordinary person… I remember now, he’s Chen Yu!”

“Chen Yu? Are you talking about the genius disciple who secured first place for our academy in the Grand Competition this year?”

“My heavens, I actually dared to shout at the strongest genius disciple of our academy!”

The guards’ faces turned pale, and they broke out in cold sweat.

Stationed here all year, they only heard bits of news sporadically; otherwise, they certainly would have recognized Chen Yu.

Inside the gorge, row upon row of palace pavilions were built atop the cliffs.

In the center, an enormous palace stood, shaped like a furnace, blazing with fire.

Chen Yu and Shang Han entered one after the other.

Upon entering, they saw several figures busily at work.

“Shang Han, you’re here,” said a bald elder, holding a golden spear tip, wiping it as he walked over to her.

“Uncle Liu, I’m troubling you this time,” Shang Han said with a slight smile.

Given the unique nature of the profession of Artifact Refiner, even though Shang Han was a genius of the Shang Family, she remained courteous in the presence of a top-level Artifact Refiner.

Moreover, Uncle Liu had some connections with the Shang Family, so Shang Han’s cost for forging would be much lower.

“What are your requirements? Let’s hear them,” Uncle Liu asked casually.

“I want to custom-make a piece of exceptional defensive inner armor,” Shang Han stated her request.

Uncle Liu’s expression became slightly somber, looking a bit displeased.

Artifact Refiners held a noble profession; usually, they would craft treasures based on their interests, never worrying about a lack of buyers.

In the eyes of an Artifact Refiner, the most troublesome thing was custom-making treasures. Sometimes the requirements from disciples were too extensive, or even incompatible with the principles of artifact forging, causing the Artifact Refiner’s crafting process to be extremely slow and the end product not very satisfactory.

Therefore, Artifact Refiners generally disliked custom-making treasures for others.

Furthermore, as Shang Han was a woman, females typically require inner armor to be attractive, soft, and comfortable, which is very troublesome.

“Uncle Liu, my father asked me to bring you a ‘Jade Toad Stone,'” Shang Han promptly took out a stone that looked like beautiful jade from her storage bag.

Uncle Liu’s eyes flickered and his expression softened a bit as he took the Jade Toad Stone.

“And what about you?” Uncle Liu’s gaze fell on Chen Yu, who was not too far away.

“I am here to custom-order an exceptional treasure,” Chen Yu answered truthfully.

“Custom-make an exceptional treasure!” Uncle Liu’s face turned grim, feeling somewhat annoyed inside.

Another custom order!

Now, he seemed to dislike Chen Yu even more.

Swish!

To avoid trouble, Chen Yu immediately took out a golden command token.

“Alright, come with me,” Uncle Liu said, seeing the golden command token, with a begrudging feeling in his heart.

The two followed Uncle Liu to a huge stone platform.

“State the type, attributes, and characteristics of the treasures you wish to custom-make!” Uncle Liu addressed Chen Yu and Shang Han.

Since Shang Han was from the Shang Family and he had accepted a favor, he would take slightly better care of her order.

As for Chen Yu, he would only do a cursory job as making two exceptional treasures would be too draining and too much of a hassle.
