Chapter 205: This Cat Is Truly Brilliant, Not Only Eating But Also Making a Fortune

“Ah? That Golden Core Perfection guy is back? No, how did he come back so fast?” Li Li, stuck at the neck of the gourd, exclaimed in astonishment.

That guy who asked them to come and cause trouble. How did he do his job? They had only been here for a short while, and the demon was back. Luckily, they were fast. If they had been late, wouldn’t they have run into him head-on?

“I don’t know either, Brother Cat,” Matthew, who had merged with a towering tree, replied.

Although he also wanted to know the reason, he couldn’t just go up to the guy’s face and ask him why he was back, right?

“Alright, then be careful. I’m in the dark right now, and there’s nothing wrong. Anyway, our mission is complete. We can leave anytime we want,” Li Li said.

Running was impossible. The pill below was rotating smoothly and was about to be refined. If he ran now, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?

“Okay, Brother Cat, take care,” Matthew nodded and burrowed into the ground.

Facing a Golden Core Perfection demon alone was too difficult for him. It was better to hide underground and conceal himself.

“Whoosh, whoosh”

“Whoosh, whoosh”

A sound from afar approached rapidly in the sky, appearing in front of the vast mountain peak in just a moment.

It was the master of this place, “Golden Snake Sovereign.” However, he wasn’t in good shape at the moment. His golden eyes were bloodshot, and the aura he emitted was somewhat weak.

But the demon was very happy. Why? He had obtained the most important ingredient for the “Demon Infant Pill,” even though it cost him a mouthful of his life essence blood.

But being able to make the “Spirit Infant Fruit” mature ahead of time was still a great gain for him.

Once he refined the Demon Infant Pill, everything would be worth it.

“Big Brother, you’re back! Did you get the Spirit Infant Fruit?” The Blue-Robed Man asked with hopeful eyes as he emerged from the cave dwelling.

Although they had been attacked by some petty thieves today, as long as his Big Brother advanced to the fourth rank, everything would be acceptable.

“Yes, I got it,” Golden Snake Sovereign nodded and flew towards the cave dwelling.

Seeing this, the Blue-Robed Man quickly followed and told him about what had happened after he left: “Big Brother, while you were away, some guys came to attack us and tried to lure us out with a diversionary tactic. But we didn’t fall for it. However, our treasury was stolen by that thief.”

“As long as the pill is fine, I can accept everything else,” Golden Snake Sovereign said, spitting out a pink, baby-like fruit. “Third Brother, you and Second Brother go refine the Demon Infant Pill first. I need to go into seclusion to heal my injuries. Once I recover, I will immediately attempt to break through to the Demon Emperor realm.”

“By then, our territory will be far more than just this thousand miles, and we will be able to obtain more resources, enough to satisfy you and Second Brother’s advancement.”

“Okay, okay,” The Blue-Robed Man nodded and left with the fruit.

Seeing this, Golden Snake Sovereign breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he headed towards his own cave dwelling. After he broke through to the Demon Emperor realm, the first thing he would do was to deal with that human thief.

That little thief dared to stand in his way. He was simply tired of living. If it weren’t for his worry about unforeseen circumstances, he wouldn’t have spent a mouthful of his life essence blood to accelerate the maturation of the Spirit Infant Fruit.

“The guy who left is back, and he didn’t bring the other guy? That’s good. They shouldn’t be able to discover this cat,” Li Li thought, relieved, as he heard the footsteps outside. If it was just the early-stage third-rank guy who came back, they definitely wouldn’t be able to discover him.

Otherwise, if he had been here for so long, the two of them would have discovered him long ago.

And since they hadn’t discovered him yet, it proved that they were truly only focused on the pill and hadn’t paid any attention to what was on top of the furnace.

Just like when cooking, one only focuses on the bottom of the pot and doesn’t care about what’s on the lid.

“Third Brother, Big Brother is back?” The Red-Robed Man asked, who was warming the pill with demonic fire.

“Yes, Big Brother is back. But he’s not in good shape. He went back to heal his injuries and asked me to bring the fruit over and refine the Demon Infant Pill first,” The Blue-Robed Man nodded.

“That’s good. As long as the Spirit Infant Fruit is here, the Demon Infant Pill will definitely be successful. Throw the fruit in, and I’ll activate the furnace fire,” The Red-Robed Man said. The gourd-shaped furnace split open from the middle.

“Don’t see me, don’t see me.”

Li Li, stuck at the neck of the gourd, couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding. This was the moment he feared the most. But fortunately, there was no danger.

After throwing the fruit in, the other party simply closed the furnace again, without looking up at all. Their eyes were fixed on the black pill below, which had grown to the size of a rice bowl.

“Phew! That scared this cat to death. Luckily, they’re both blind,” Li Li thought as he watched the fruit enter. He saw the baby-like fruit begin to melt.

It turned into a pool of red juice, enveloping the pill. As the blue-red flames danced on the pill, the large black pill gradually turned pink. Moreover, it emitted a fragrance even more alluring than before. Just a whiff of it…

Li Li felt his whole body burning hot, and his spiritual power grew rapidly. In an instant, his eyes lit up like light bulbs:

“This pill must not be missed. I have to act as soon as it’s refined.”

Just a whiff had this effect. Then what if he ate it? His strength would definitely skyrocket.

No matter what, he needed to get his hands on this pill, even if it meant fighting these three guys.

Of course, this was just the worst-case scenario. Now that the pill was right before his eyes, no matter how fast the others were, it would be impossible to snatch it from him.

All he needed to do was wait, wait for the pill to be completely refined.

“D*mn it! That Golden Snake Sovereign actually used his blood essence to mature the Spirit Infant Fruit. It ruined my plan. Now I can only hope that he hasn’t refined the Spirit Infant Fruit into a pill yet. Otherwise, it will be troublesome for me to refine the Nascent Soul Pill.”

In the sky, a black figure speeding along couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

He knew he should have stayed by the Spirit Infant Fruit himself. He wouldn’t have let the other party get it so easily.

Now it was too late to say anything. He could only pray that the Spirit Infant Fruit was still there. Otherwise, he could only refine the Nascent Soul Pill through other means.

“Swish, swish”

“Swish, swish”

Just as he was rushing along, a figure suddenly flew up from the ground. It was Matthew, who had been waiting there.

“Why are you here?” The Cloaked Man asked in confusion after spotting Matthew.

“Where else could I be? You’re the one who gave me false information, almost getting me killed. We were causing trouble in the snake demon’s territory for a while, and then that Golden Core Perfection snake demon came running back,” Matthew’s voice turned cold.

“So that snake demon has really come back?” The Cloaked Man thought to himself, having a plan in mind. He looked at Matthew and smiled, “Don’t be so angry, fellow cultivator. It was indeed my fault. I’m willing to compensate you with another 2,000 Comprehensive Network Coins.”

“That’s more like it,” Matthew’s expression softened slightly.

“By the way, where is the other fellow cultivator?” The Cloaked Man looked around, curious.

They came here together, so why was there only one here now?

“Him? He’s stuck inside the demon’s cave dwelling. He can’t get out for a while,” Matthew said, spreading his hands.

“Really?” The Cloaked Man was overjoyed. He had been worried that the Spirit Infant Fruit would be refined.

But since the other party was still inside the cave dwelling, maybe they could save the Spirit Infant Fruit if they acted.

“Yes,” Matthew nodded, then asked curiously, hearing the excitement in the other party’s voice, “What do you want to do?”

“Nothing, I just want to ask that fellow cultivator to help create some chaos. It doesn’t need to be much, just enough to prevent the third-rank demons inside the cave dwelling from being at ease,” The Cloaked Man said with a smile.

As long as the entire cave dwelling was in chaos, they definitely wouldn’t be able to touch the Spirit Infant Fruit. He could also find a way to snatch the fruit.

“Then you talk to him,” Matthew said indifferently, not revealing his relationship with Li Li.

“Okay,” The Cloaked Man nodded and contacted Li Li:

“Fellow cultivator, you’re still inside the cave dwelling, right? I have something I need your help with.”

“Hmm? Help? Help with what?” Li Li asked, his eyes glued to the shrinking pill, swallowing hard.

“I just need you to create some chaos inside the cave dwelling. It doesn’t need to be much, just enough to prevent the third-rank demons inside from being at peace.”

“Of course, I know this is very dangerous, so I’m willing to offer you 10,000 Comprehensive Network Coins as a reward,” The Cloaked Man said with a smile.

“Not enough, too little. If it were just two early-stage third-rank demons, it wouldn’t be a problem. But there are three in this cave dwelling, and one of them is a third-rank Perfection demon.”

“If I make a move and create a commotion, they will join forces to kill me. Just 10,000 Comprehensive Network Coins isn’t worth me risking my life.”

What a joke, asking him to create chaos, and in front of three third-rank demons.

Did the other party think 10,000 Comprehensive Network Coins was a lot? This small reward was like giving alms to a beggar.

“How about 30,000 Comprehensive Network Coins?” The Cloaked Man thought for a moment and said. 10,000 Comprehensive Network Coins was indeed a bit low, but if it were 30,000, it should be fine.

“That’s possible, but since you want me to cause chaos, you must have something big to do, right? How about this, you give me 50,000 Comprehensive Network Coins, and I’ll help you lure away the two early-stage third-rank demons. What do you think?” Li Li’s eyes rolled as he spoke.

This guy wanted him to create chaos. He was probably after the Spirit Infant Fruit. However, the other party didn’t know that the fruit was about to become a pill. And after he ate this pill, he would definitely be chased to death by these two demons.

Since that was the case, why not take another big chunk out of the other party?

“Are you sure you can do it?” The Cloaked Man’s eyes lit up. If the other party could really lure away the two early-stage third-rank demons, then he, together with Matthew, could definitely kill the third-rank Perfection demon.

Although the Comprehensive Network Coins he had to pay were a bit much, it was nothing compared to what he would gain.

“I’m 100% sure. We can have a contract witnessed by the Comprehensive Network,” Li Li said confidently.

“Okay, then I believe you. 50,000 it is,” The Cloaked Man took a deep breath and said, drafting a contract. With the Comprehensive Network as a witness, if the other party failed to fulfill their end, the Comprehensive Network Coins wouldn’t be transferred to their account.

“Okay, just wait. I’ll lure them away soon,” Li Li couldn’t help but show a look of ecstasy on his face after seeing the contract generated. Then, he gathered all his strength and shot towards the round pill, swallowing it in one gulp.
