Realm of the Night God - Chapter 135: Demonic Pill

Demonic pill!

Upon hearing Master Zhou’s words, Yang Haoran was once again taken aback.

He was aware of the existence of monster clans in this world. Shortly after becoming a Night Watch, he learned about the existence of monsters from the few books Master Jiang lent him.

However, his understanding of monster clans was limited to just knowing of their existence. He knew nothing else, including demonic scripts and the demonic pill mentioned by Master Zhou at the moment.

Here, “unknown” refers to records in reality, not descriptions of monsters in movies or novels.

In movies and novels, there are many descriptions of monsters, and he has seen some of them. However, that is not reality, and Yang Haoran naturally wouldn’t compare them to real monsters.

“After animals cultivate into spirits, they become monsters. At that time, they will condense a demonic pill in their bodies. The demonic pill is the source of a monster’s power, the crystallization of their cultivation. Only when a monster possesses a demonic pill can it unleash formidable power. Conversely, once a monster loses its demonic pill, it will revert to its original form, losing all its abilities.”

As Master Zhou spoke, he kept observing Yang Haoran’s expression, trying to guess his thoughts from every subtle change in expression.

“Demonic pill is an extremely miraculous thing. If an ordinary person obtains and swallows it, not only can they extend their lifespan, but they can also gain the unique monster clan’s spirit power, no longer remaining an ordinary person. For cultivators, obtaining and ingesting a demonic pill can greatly increase their cultivation, even breaking through bottlenecks and reaching new realms.”

“These things, I believe you young people have seen in movies over the years, and it is indeed true. However, there is one thing that many movies have not mentioned, that is, by ingesting a demonic pill or wearing one, even those who are not from the monster clan can understand demonic scripts.”

Although Master Zhou did not continue speaking, Yang Haoran understood why Master Zhou could understand demonic scripts. It was after obtaining the demonic pill that he learned the mysterious demonic scripts written on human skin and practiced the soul enchantment technique.

However, Yang Haoran did not fully believe Master Zhou’s words.

“What about the demonic pill? Did you swallow it?” Yang Haoran looked at Master Zhou, his face cold as he spoke.

Master Zhou shook his head, then a bitter smile appeared on his face as he said, “It’s so precious that I wouldn’t easily consume it. I have been carefully preserving it, intending to use it to break through bottlenecks. Unfortunately, before that day arrived, well, unfortunately, I ended up like this.”

“Hmph, your current state is entirely your own doing,” Yang Haoran coldly snorted, speaking up.

Master Zhou shook his head with a bitter smile, not saying anything, as if he had a great deal of bitterness.

Yang Haoran knew this guy was acting in front of him again. Unmoved, he continued, “Since the demonic pill is so precious, why didn’t I find it in your bag? That doesn’t seem like your style.”

Master Zhou always carried the other things he obtained in the cave, including the human skin with demonic scripts, but Yang Haoran didn’t find the demonic pill in his bag.

Yang Haoran didn’t think that the bag wasn’t thoroughly checked. He had inspected Master Zhou’s bag inside and out, even checking for hidden compartments. It was absolutely impossible for this to happen.

The only possibility was that Master Zhou didn’t carry the demonic pill with him.

“The demonic pill contains powerful monster clan spirit power. Carrying it around would easily attract attention. Besides, this thing is too important to me. I still rely on it to break through bottlenecks. If I lose it by carrying it around and it gets lost, I will regret it for a lifetime. So, for safety’s sake, I hid it away,” Master Zhou reluctantly explained, looking extremely unwilling. Looking at his appearance, if it weren’t for his current situation, he would never reveal this secret.

“Where did you hide it?” Yang Haoran asked, ignoring Master Zhou’s theatrics.

“I hid it in a very concealed place in my house. Besides me, no one else can find it,” Master Zhou said.

Yang Haoran frowned, and his gaze toward Master Zhou gradually turned cold.

Could it be that Master Zhou’s main purpose in acting this way all night was to deliberately lure him into a trap?

And this demonic pill was just a means for Master Zhou to lure him into the trap?

It’s no wonder Yang Haoran would have such considerations. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, even though Master Zhou now only had a soul body without a physical body, Yang Haoran still remained vigilant against this person.

If he wasn’t a bit cautious, and everything was led by Master Zhou, he might end up in big trouble!

“Do you think I should go and get the demonic pill you mentioned?” Yang Haoran squinted his eyes, asking Master Zhou.

Master Zhou was taken aback. He really hadn’t expected Yang Haoran to ask such a question. Should he answer yes or no?

After thinking for a moment, Master Zhou shook his head and said, “That’s your own business. Anyway, in my current state, the demonic pill is useless to me. Whether you take it or not, it’s up to you.”

Yang Haoran smiled, but his smile was a bit cold.

“Take it? Why wouldn’t I? I’m very interested in this demonic pill. Knowing that such a demonic pill exists, how could I let it slip by?”

As Yang Haoran’s voice paused, he stared coldly at Master Zhou and continued, “But let me remind you, you better not play any tricks on me. If I find anything suspicious, I will make you disappear from this world in no time!”

“Heh, you know, I don’t want your soul to scatter easily, because I still want to torment you, for a long time. Although, for you, perhaps prolonged torment is more painful than having your soul scattered, but isn’t this also an opportunity?”

“As long as your soul doesn’t scatter, then you still have a chance to escape from my hands, even though this possibility is slim, it cannot be completely ruled out. But once your soul scatters, there will be no chance for redemption. So, you better not play tricks on me, forcing me to scatter your soul ahead of time!”

Yang Haoran’s words carried a naked threat, but Master Zhou could clearly feel the determination emanating from Yang Haoran’s words. He didn’t doubt for a moment that if anything unexpected happened, Yang Haoran would definitely scatter his soul without hesitation!

Cursing Yang Haoran for being so difficult in his heart, but Master Zhou didn’t show the slightest bit of it on his face. With a bitter smile, he said, “Given my current state, what tricks can I possibly play? What means do you think I still have to threaten you?”

Yang Haoran didn’t know what means Master Zhou still had to threaten him at this moment, but he didn’t believe Master Zhou’s nonsense. This cunning old man was very sinister, and he couldn’t let his guard down.

However, Yang Haoran was indeed very tempted by the demonic pill mentioned by Master Zhou, and he really wanted to obtain it. Even if Master Zhou had set up some traps in advance where the demonic pill was, Yang Haoran didn’t want to miss out on such a miraculous treasure.

Riches and dangers go hand in hand. If you want to obtain something, you must be willing to exert corresponding effort and take risks. Opportunities where fortunes fall from the sky are rare, and they don’t happen every time.

“Take me to get the demonic pill,” Yang Haoran said coldly.

Master Zhou didn’t object, but nodded to Yang Haoran. There was no surprise on his face, as if he had already anticipated that Yang Haoran would definitely come to get the demonic pill.

With a wave of his hand, the chains that were fixed to the ground shattered simultaneously, turning into strands of black Yin Qi, then recondensed into a chain, which Yang Haoran grabbed in his hand.

He brought Master Zhou out of the old house, then got into the car. Following Master Zhou’s guidance, they headed towards the location of the demonic pill.

At the entrance of Yangjia Bay village, there were still police officers on duty. When they saw a car leaving the village, the faces of the officers on duty were filled with surprise. However, they soon figured something out, and the surprise on their faces dissipated, and they actively let Yang Haoran pass.

Yang Haoran thanked the officers on duty and didn’t stay any longer, continuing on toward their destination.

An hour later, Yang Haoran’s car returned to Yangjia Bay under the puzzled gazes of the police officers. They thought Yang Haoran was leaving Yangjia Bay, at least he wouldn’t come back tonight, but they didn’t expect him to return just an hour later.

Although they were puzzled, none of them stopped him because they had instructions from above, so they allowed Yang Haoran’s car to enter Yangjia Bay.

Back at the old house, Yang Haoran once again fixed Master Zhou in front of the altar with Yin spirit power. Yang Haoran frowned, looking at a box on the table.

The box was not big, about the size of a jewelry box, but even such a small box was tightly wrapped in talismans.

Gently peeling off the talismans on the box, as all the talismans were removed, a strange power fluctuation erupted from the box. Even though the box wasn’t opened, Yang Haoran could clearly sense this unique power fluctuation.

Gently opening the box, a green light emanated from it. In the center of the box lay a round, grape-sized, emerald green bead, quietly resting.

This bead was the demonic pill Master Zhou mentioned!

When Yang Haoran found this box at Master Zhou’s house, he had opened it to inspect the bead, and he was almost certain that this bead was the demonic pill.

He believed so because he had conducted tests. When he picked up the demonic pill, he found that he could understand the twisted demonic scripts on the human skin again, as if something had been added to his mind, and this extra thing was the key to understanding demonic scripts.

After he put down the bead, the extra thing in his mind seemed to disappear, and the demonic scripts on the human skin once again became obscure and incomprehensible, which was extremely strange.

At that time, he almost believed that the bead was indeed the demonic pill Master Zhou mentioned.

Normally, successfully obtaining the demonic pill and being able to understand the demonic scripts on human skin would be something to be happy about, but he couldn’t feel any joy at all.

Because… everything went too smoothly. He always felt that something was not quite right.
