Of course, Qin Yu couldn’t bring back 22,000 demon crystals. He made a circle and turned them all into materials in a shop near Thousand Eye Temple.

As for why he didn’t simply purchase the materials at Thousand Eye Temple, one reason was that he couldn’t bear those eyes that looked at him with pity as if he were mentally handicapped. Another more important reason was that he didn’t hope to have any further contact with the people of Thousand Eye Temple.

For instance, the fox woman who saw him but pretended to not notice. He didn’t want her to develop some interest in him because of the contrast in his transactions.

In fact, Qin Yu wasn’t overthinking things. The fox woman was curious, but her curiosities were dismissed by the old fox. He even secretly rejoiced that he didn’t take too many advantages before.

Without the honored guest discount from Thousand Eye Temple and in addition to the soaring price of materials, he could only purchase less than half of the original things he wanted.

This left Feature extremely dissatisfied. She pointed out that Qin Yu really was useless and could only exchange her carefully crafted demon medicines for such a small amount of materials.

If it weren’t for the fact that this woman was useful to him and that he also felt some dread towards her, he would have taught her what it meant when people said words have consequences!

He would write this down in his account book and temporarily endure it for now!

…

A demon called Cow Sledgehammer had been the cause of much news in Great Deer City recently. Of course, the reason wasn’t that he used his bowl-like fist to kill a tiger mastiff hybrid demon on the spot, but because of his bizarre transformation.

After surviving a great battle he had almost been torn to shreds. But not only had he not died, his bloodline had transformed.

There were indeed cases in the abyss where someone experienced too much trauma and was on the verge of death, and then their bloodline would suddenly awaken and transform, turning disaster into a blessing.

For a time, there were even many abyssal demons who tried to deliberately use this method to stimulate their bloodline and become stronger.

But without exception, almost all these attempts ended in failure. After countless abyssal demons died this method was eventually abandoned.

However, a living example was right in front of them. Cow Sledgehammer had become a target of envy overnight.

It was rumored that an old and frail black demon cow powerhouse had heard about this incident and wanted Cow Sledgehammer to be the man for his eight daughters, so that they could multiply and expand the bloodline of their black demon cow lineage.

As for whether or not Cow Sledgehammer could withstand the onslaught of eight tall and strong black demon cow women, this encounter alone left everyone’s eyes burning with heat.

Then, after the City Lord Mansion deliberately promoted it, Cow Sledgehammer became the most desired goal for the abyssal demons that had to defend the city walls from the beast tide…perhaps they too could temper themselves in battle and awaken their bloodline?

The wind wolf clan’s Big Mountain also thought this.

As a member of an abyssal tribe known for their speed and agility, Big Mountain couldn’t figure out why his parents had given him such a name…mm, it seemed that there had been a lot of confusion concerning his name lately. If so, he would have to reduce it as much as possible in the future.

In short, Big Mountain didn’t think he was any worse than Cow Sledgehammer. He thought he could awaken his bloodline and not die in the process.

A mess of thoughts raced through his mind. He looked down at his chest that was nearly torn open and he spat out a mouthful of black blood. His field of vision started to darken.

Then, almost all of those heroic thoughts in his mind faded away…

This was a heavy wound and it also had a highly poisonous attribute. He didn’t have any poison cure medicine, so it would likely be difficult to survive!

I am still so young. Although I’ve slept with many female demons of my tribe, I have never left behind my bloodline. I am unwilling to die here!

With a trembling hand, Big Mountain took out several demon medicines from his chest. These were healing demon medicines he purchased at great cost from Thousand Eye Temple before being sent to the city walls.

Although their quality was only ordinary, Thousand Eye Temple had a good reputation. He hoped they could help him.

He indiscriminately grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his mouth. Chewing a few times, he swallowed them down and covered the wound on his chest. Soon his eyes widened and he twitched several times before falling over.

“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Another one has been poisoned! Toss him into the city below, he cannot be taken away by the demon beasts as rations!”

Plop –

The wind wolf Big Mountain was thrown off the city walls, soon buried in the mound of corpses around him.

…

“I’m very, very serious this time! There are absolutely no problems with the demon medicine I’ve refined! Qin Yu, what kind of look is that? I’m telling you the truth, you have to believe in my professionalism!” Feature unhappily said as she jutted out her lip.

From the moment she had discovered the existence of demonic refining masters, not even ten days had passed. But, you want me to believe in your professionalism? How about I trust your face! Moreover, the demon medicines you refined might have managed to sell somehow, but I have personally seen the results myself!

Whoever buys them is in for some bad luck!

“Qin Yu, because of your extremely excessive behavior, I have been gravely harmed and saddened. If any fluctuations occur in my mood, it will likely cause my aura to emit further.” Feature said, squinting her eyes. The meaning was approximately this: I will soon be unable to control myself. Go figure things out yourself!

Qin Yu’s complexion paled. His face shook and he roared, “What do you want now!?”

Feature snapped her fingers. “Simple. Sell the demon medicines I refine. I want you to see just how popular they will become. They are enough to cause every single demon in the entire abyss to go crazy for them!”

Qin Yu: Shit…

Qin Yu’s face was so dark that it looked like it would drip water. The two glared at each other, neither side willing to back down. He took a deep breath and finally relented, “I will grab a demon so you can experiment.”

“Hoho, the beast tide has already erupted and the City Lord Mansion is doing their best to find demons and send them up the city walls to resist the invasion of demon beasts. You want to capture someone now? If you’re discovered, you’ll be the first one sent up the wall.” Feature rubbed the jar in her hands, arrogance on her face. “And, do you think just any demon has the qualifications to use the demon medicine I refine? Forget holding a cleansing ceremony, they at least have to pay a high price for them!”

The two were in a stand-off for a long time once again. Finally, it ended with Qin Yu surrendering once again.

Of course, Feature was also forced to make concessions. This was the last time Qin Yu would help sell her refined demon medicines, and she couldn’t pester him endlessly about this matter in the future.

When he left the courtyard and closed the doors, his lips twitched. Feature had happily agreed just now, but he felt uneasy because she had been too happy…based on his understanding of her so far, she was someone who had a high probability of going back on her word.

His temples began to throb. He took a deep breath and suppressed these thoughts before walking away.

He certainly couldn’t go to Thousand Eye Temple again. He had no idea what happened to the demon medicine he sold them before, so he couldn’t visit them anymore.

Fortunately, in the vast Great Deer City, beside Thousand Eye Temple there were also many other businesses that purchased demon medicines.

“Halt!” With a shout, a squad of demon guards stopped Qin Yu. The leader had a scar on his face and he had a ferocious appearance. He coldly said, “Take out your status token.”

Qin Yu took out a black iron token. It had the official seal of Great Deer City engraved on the back, which was regarded as a certificate of a native who lived here. Once again, he thanked the dead Liu Huo and the many demon crystals he had which allowed Qin Yu to buy this courtyard. Otherwise, he would have had to join the other outsider demons in mounting the city walls and resisting the beast tide.

After examining it, the guard leader passed the token back to Qin Yu. Then the guards left in a hurry.

There were fewer people on the streets today, but the ones here were rushing in a hurry. Qin Yu thought about the baptism of catastrophe that the demons in Great Deer City must be suffering right now, and how many of them died every day…but no matter how he thought about it, it was hard for him to feel any compassion. In fact, the more that died the better…

But none of that mattered right now. He needed to find a place and sell these ticking bomb-like demon medicines first.

…

In Great Deer City, another person’s bloodline had transformed in a crucial life or death situation!

The lucky fellow this time was a wind wolf called Big Mountain. Of course, that was no longer correct. He should now be called His Excellency the silver moon wolf Big Mountain.

This was because amongst the numerous abyssal tribes, the Silver Moon Wolf Clan was a royal bloodline. The King of this tribe was called the Howling Moon Wolf King and many legends surrounded him throughout the layers of the abyss.

First it was the black demon cow bloodline and now it was the silver moon wolf royal bloodline. Although the people of Great Deer City were panicking under the impact of the beast tide, many of them had shining eyes.

If there was just one bloodline transformation, this might only be a coincidence that luckily appeared. But if it appeared twice, that couldn’t be just a coincidence anymore.

Undercurrents started to surge again in Great Deer City. Behind the scenes where ordinary people couldn’t see, a search started for the reason why Cow Sledgehammer and Big Mountain were able to transform their bloodlines.

Big Mountain now had long silver-white hair and his appearance had become much more handsome. However, he exuded a terrifying aura. He certainly knew that his bloodline had transformed. As he was struck with a grievous injury, he firmed his will and faced off against the shadow of death, eventually causing his bloodline to transform…but this wasn’t everything.

Big Mountain looked up at the giant signboard of Thousand Eye Temple. After taking a deep breath, he put on his mask and walked inside.

Of course, he wasn’t hiding his appearance to be mysterious. Rather, he vaguely felt something wrong.

“Ordinary healing demon medicine. How much do you need, honored guest?”

Big Mountain took out a jar and said in a quiet voice. “I want this…demon medicine refined by the Abyss’ Number One. How much do you have?”

The rabbit girl behind the counter was stunned because she also had an impression of this name. It had been far too surprising and shocking at the time, so she couldn’t forget about it even if she wanted to.

She lightly coughed and smiled, “Our Thousand Eye Temple’s demon medicine is only sold to the outside after undergoing strict testing measures. The effects will all be the same.”

“No. I only want demon medicine refined by the Abyss’ Number One. Give me a price. I’ll buy it all.” Big Mountain furrowed his eyebrows.

At this time, the crowd behind him parted and the fox woman sashayed forward. She smiled and said, “Dear guest, our Thousand Eye Temple can surely satisfy your request, but we will need time to prepare. Please follow me to the reception room to wait.”

Big Mountain’s complexion changed. He took a step back, “I have a matter to attend to. I’ll come back another day.”

The fox woman stepped forward and grabbed his arm. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, “Your Excellency Big Mountain, there are many people coveting your silver moon royal bloodline right now. Usually, no one would dare to provoke a royal bloodline. But now with the beast tide attacking the city, casualties are unavoidable and it will be difficult to investigate anything afterwards…according to what my Thousand Eye Temple knows, there are some wolf clan powerhouses within the Merry Forest that have put out a contract on you to seize your bloodline. If you leave like this, I fear something will happen.”

Beneath his robes, Big Mountain paled. This was his greatest fear.

The fox woman continued, “Your Excellency Big Mountain, my Thousand Eye Temple has some deterring effect. How about staying here for some time? At least you can ensure your safety.”
