Chapter 40 - 36: Demon People’s Essence, The Hall Master’s Generous Reward
When Lin Xuankong heard her actually claim he had incredible luck, he couldn’t help but become even more curious. "So, what exactly is this black crystal?"
Lii Xiaolan’s expression had gradually calmed by this point. Seeing his curious look, she couldn’t help but smirk. "Oh my, we’ve run so far; I’m rather thirsty!"
Lin Xuankong quietly circulated his Qi Blood, suppressing the urge to give this mischievous girl a spanking. He then placed the black crystal into his bosom. "I’m a bit tired. Why don’t you tell me tomorrow instead!"
After saying this, he leisurely walked towards the inner room.
Lii Xiaolan immediately felt a little frustrated. She glared at Lin Xuankong. "Alright, I’ll tell you then! Do you know why Exorcism Equipment is so expensive?"
Lin Xuankong’s heart skipped a beat. "Could it be because the Forehead Scales of the Demon People are rare, or is it related to this black crystal?"
Lii Xiaolan nodded. "The number of Marsh Python People isn’t that large, and the Forehead Scales of the Python Demon People are indeed considered rare and precious. However, for powerful Martial Cultivators, they are materials obtainable by killing Low-tier Demon People, so they aren’t extremely rare. You can even buy some with silver! But the most crucial material for crafting Exorcism Equipment, the Demon People’s Essence you’re holding, is extremely, extremely rare! It’s feared that only one Demon People Leader out of dozens, or even hundreds, will occasionally form a Demon People’s Essence upon death. Those capable of forming an essence are, without exception, elite Leaders among the Demon People, and ones who are particularly attuned to Demon Qi!"
Lin Xuankong’s eyes lit up. "So this is the Demon People’s Essence... If the chances of forming this essence are so low, then my luck tonight was truly phenomenal! However, the first Demon People Leader I killed was indeed the strongest among the four Leaders, which likely accounts for this!"
Lii Xiaolan beamed. "It’s more than just good luck! If the Yin Talisman Sect hadn’t dispatched several Grand Steward Level experts to attack the Demons, giving them quite a headache, those Marsh Pythons and Ghost Lizards probably wouldn’t have deployed their subordinate Demon People to attack the Yin Talisman Sect’s many towns in this ’besiege Wei to save Zhao’ gambit! Under normal circumstances, the Demon People Race gathers in groups of hundreds or even thousands; killing them isn’t so easy!"
Lin Xuankong exclaimed joyfully, "To think I actually obtained a piece of the most crucial and rarest material for crafting Exorcism Equipment! If I can gather another hundred or so Forehead Scales, wouldn’t I be able to ask someone to make me a pair of Exorcism Gloves!"
