Demon's Diary Chapter 1233: Xue Long

Chapter 1233: Xue Long

The appearance of this beautiful young man with red lips was obviously a woman, but she was dressed in a man’s attire. It looked a bit nondescript, but it also had a unique charm.

“Mr. Liu is really punctual. You are here so early.” Seeing Liu Ming walking in, Lan Si quickly stood up and said with a smile.

“I’m asking Fairy Lan for help, so I must be punctual.” Liu Ming glanced at the beautiful young man in a dress and said with a slight expression.

“By the way, let me introduce to Mr. Liu. This is my good friend, Xue Long from the Blood Vine Race. This Liu Ming, a cultivator from Middle Sky Continent’s Taiqing Sect.” Lan Si introduced them to each other.

“It turns out to be a friend from the Blood Vine Race. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Liu Ming was a little surprised. He just cupped his fist and bowed.

“Mr. Liu, you’re welcome. I’ve heard Lan Si mention you a long time ago.” Xue Long bowed back to him. Her eyes kept sizing up Liu Ming. There were some strange lights in the depths of her pupils.

Liu Ming frowned slightly. He scanned Xue Long with Divine Thought.

This woman looked like a handsome young man, but her cultivation was extremely strong. She had reached the Real Pellet State perfect stage just like him.

He couldn’t help but be shocked a little. He felt a little scruple of this woman.

After the greeting, Liu Ming sat down on a chair beside Lan Si at the invitation of Lan Si.

“Fairy Lan, do you have an answer for what I asked before?” Liu Ming asked Lan Si without looking at Xue Long again.

“In the past few days, I have consulted several elders in my clan who are in charge of the books. When they heard that it was Mr. Liu’s matter, they immediately looked up the doc.u.ments. Finally, they got some clues.” Lan Si smiled said so.

Liu Ming couldn’t help being overjoyed by this.

“However, Mr. Liu is a cultivator of the human race after all. There is a big difference in physique from our Blue Wood Race. After discussing with the elders, I think there are 2 ways to help sir advance to the Celestial State.” As Lan Si said this, she paused slightly.

“Please enlighten me, Fairy Lan.” Liu Ming showed a focused look.

“Our Savage Wild Continent has a kind of exotic fruit called luo suo fruit. This fruit has the effect of cleansing impurities in the body and purifying spiritual power. It can increase the chance of advancing to Celestial State.” Lan Si continued.

“Luo suo fruit…” Hearing this name, Liu Ming tried to remember the books he read in the past few years, but he didn’t have the slightest clue, so he stopped wasting effort on it.

Presumably, this kind of precious spiritual fruit was a secret, so it would not be recorded in the book.

“Another method is an elixir called crimson flame pill. This elixir is made of a beastkin core called crimson flame beastkin as the main material. It requires the beastkin core of the Celestial State crimson flame beastkin to be effective. The crimson flame pill contains a trace of Celestial State crimson flame beastkin’s natal flame, which can increase the chance of breaking through the bottleneck to the Celestial State by almost 10%.” Lan Si looked at Liu Ming, finished talking, and took a glance at Xue Long.

“How do I get these 2 items?” Liu Ming asked after being silent for a while.

Since Lan Si told him about the existence of luo suo fruit and crimson flame pill, she must know how to get them.

“The luo suo fruit is a rare treasure unique to the Blood Vine Race, so our Blue Wood Race doesn’t have it. However, Miss Xue Long is an important figure in the Blood Vine Race, and she happens to have a luo suo fruit on her.” Lan Si smiled lightly and glanced at Xue Long again.

Liu Ming was startled, then he turned to look at Xue Long.

As for Xue Long, after taking a few glances at Liu Ming in the beginning, she had been savoring the spiritual tea on her own. She didn’t seem to care about the conversation between Liu Ming and Lan Si.

“Miss Xue, is what Miss Lan said true?” Liu Ming asked slowly.

Xue Long put down the teacup in her hand and directly took out a white box. Pa, the cover was lifted. A cone-shaped exotic fruit that emitted bursts of white mist was inside the box.

Liu Ming glanced at the exotic food, then he nodded after a while.

Although he had never heard of the name of luo suo fruit, nor did he know much about it, the exotic fruit obviously exuded astonis.h.i.+ng fluctuations of spiritual power. It should not be fake.

“Are you willing to trade this item to me? I will try my best to satisfy you in terms of price.” Liu Ming said after thinking for a while.

“Hehe, mister, do you think that a rare treasure like luo suo fruit can be exchanged with spirit stones?” Xue Long said lightly with a smile.

“Then what do you want?” Liu Ming asked.

Since Xue Long showed up with luo suo fruit at this moment, she must have a plan, but this made Liu Ming relieved instead.

Seeing Liu Ming’s calm appearance as if he could deal with anything, Xue Long snorted softly and said,

“I heard from Lan Si that mister is good at refine jingang bone tempering pills. If you can offer 5 earth grade jingang bone tempering pills, I will give you this luo suo fruit.”

Liu Ming was taken aback by the words. He glanced at Lan Si who had a helpless look.

Suddenly, he realized that Lan Si asked him to refine the jingang bone tempering pill because of Xue Long.

“Although I can refine the jingang bone tempering pill, with my alchemy ability and the current quality of materials, it is almost impossible to refine an earth grade elixir, let alone 5 pills. I’m afraid I can’t fulfill this requirement. “Liu Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Over the years, he had successively refined hundreds of jingang bone tempering pills, and his efficacy in refining this elixir had been higher. However, he had only refined 2 earth grade jingang bone tempering pills.

But he didn’t tell Lan Si about this. He only gave her was some pellet grade jingang bone tempering pills.

Hearing this, Xue Long frowned.

“If it’s a pellet grade jinggang bone tempering pill, as long as the quality of the material is good, I’m confident to refine it. Can you lower the requirements, Miss Xue?” Liu Ming raised his brows and continued.

“No, the jingang bone tempering pill of pellet grade is not effective enough. It must be earth grade.” Xue Long rebuffed.

“In this case, if Miss Xue Long can provide me with a Celestial State luwu turtle sh.e.l.l, I can try my best to refine the earth grade jingang bone tempering pill.” Liu Ming frowned and said after some consideration.

“Really? What’s your success rate in this, Mr. Liu?” Xue Long said hastily with a look of surprise.

“Although I’m not 100% sure, I still have 50% to 60% confident.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.

“Well, as long as Mr. Liu can refine 5 earth grade jingang bone tempering pills for me, this luo suo fruit will be yours.” Xue Long solemnly promised with a satisfied expression.

Liu Ming smiled and turned to look at Lan Si.

“Then where can I get the other crimson flame pill? Could it be that Miss Xue also has it? Do you want to exchange it for elixirs?”

“Hmph! Although I don’t have the crimson flame pill, you are right to say so.” Before Lan Si could speak, Xue Long had already snorted softly and said a little arrogantly.

Liu Ming was a little surprised.

“Sister Xue Long is right. The crimson flame beastkin is almost extinct in the Savage Wild Continent. It just so happens that Sister Xue Long wants to refine the crimson flame pill to break through the bottleneck to the Celestial State. Now, she has found the trace of a Celestial State crimson flame beastkin, and she has prepared other materials to refine the crimson flame pill. Is Mr. Liu willing to hunt down this beastkin together? With Mr. Liu’s level of alchemy, we don’t have to find another person to refine the crimson flame pill.” Lan Si smiled slightly.

“Just the 3 of us?” Liu Ming said calmly.

“Why, are you doubting my strength? Or you are too afraid to face the Celestial State crimson flame beastkin?” Xue Long glanced at Liu Ming sideways and said coldly.

Liu Ming sighed in his mind. When he first met, he still felt that Xue Long was not simple. After a few conversations with her, she immediately revealed the nature of a savage and impulsive young lady.

“How dare I underestimate Miss Xue Long. I happen to have nothing to do recently, so let’s go then.” Liu Ming said calmly.

“Very good, it seems that Mr. Liu is a forthright person, then let’s go now.” Xue Long put away the luo suo fruit in her hand, stood up, and said lightly,

“Now?” Liu Ming was slightly taken aback.

“I used the power of my clan to find the crimson flame beastkin with great difficulty. If we delay and let someone else get the beastkin first, do you want to take the responsibility for finding another crimson flame beastkin?” Xue Long disliked Liu Ming for some reason, so said unceremoniously.

“Okay, let’s leave now then!” Liu Ming had no choice but to agree.

Lan Si at the side secretly gave him an apologetic look, leaving Liu Ming speechless.

Now that the decision had been made, they quickly left the Blue Wood Firm soon.

Liu Ming left a message to Qian Rupin with the message disk array, telling her to wait in the cave house with peace of mind, then he followed the 2 out of Luo City.

Not long after, they stopped on a mountain peak.

Xue Long flicked the storage bracelet on her wrist. A red flying car flew out in a flash. She said,

“The crimson flame beastkin is in the Purgatory Mountain Range. If we travel by escape light, it has to take at least a month. I have a flying magic weapon specially used for long-distance travel. It should be able to arrive within half a month. In this case, we will have a lot more time.”

Hearing this, Liu Ming looked up and down the red flying car.

This flying car seemed to be made of some kind of upper grade spiritual wood. It looked extremely light as if it had no weight at all. A mysterious totem of fire bird was engraved on the surface. It looked lifelike and was flickering with red lights that looked like clouds and mists. It was obviously a rare treasure.

TL: Just wait until he saves her a.s.s…
