Chapter 1575: Speeding Up the Pets!

“Fellow Daoist, have mercy on me, I know I was wrong! From now on, I will devoutly worship the Sea God and never betray Him again!”

A sea demon, terrified, knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again.

Jiang Yuan stepped forward and grabbed him directly, “You don’t know you’re wrong, you just know you’re about to die.”

[Lifespan +70]

[Lifespan +60]

……

Got to say, sea demons have really long lives; one can absorb several hundred years of lifespan, what a bounty!

After absorbing the lifespan, he glanced at the now useless sea demon, pulled off the other’s storage bag, and clicked to send it directly into the Elder Scholar’s copy.

Turn into something strange and work for me forever!

“Begging for mercy is useless, let’s go together! I don’t believe he has only two hands and can withstand so many of us!” Another sea demon, seeing this, angrily roared, his fury rising.

However, only he rushed forward shouting, while the other sea demons hesitated and lacked the courage to move.

The result was that Jiang Yuan stood still, draining the sea demon who had delivered himself right to hand and threw him into the copy.

Realizing this fellow wouldn’t spare them no matter what, many sea demons refused to sit and await their doom. They rallied together and charged, only to be caught by two large nets tossed toward them, seemingly ordinary but ensnaring them so that they couldn’t move, left at Jiang Yuan’s mercy.

Cursing, wailing, and pleading, the interior of the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower grew lively for a while.

With the number of sea demons decreasing, peace finally settled.

Once only the top-tier ingredients and refining materials remained, Jiang Yuan stopped, while Jia Xin was left bewildered, uncertain of what had happened.

He only remembered sprinting with all his might after leaving the main group, only to black out and know nothing thereafter.

Upon waking, he found his life energy rapidly leaking away, his body unable to move, his forehead throbbing intensely. Barely enduring until the end of everything, he desperately discovered his lifespan was nearly gone, and his spiritual power was entirely drained!

“Reveal your true form.”

In a daze, Jia Xin’s ears heard these four words, but his mind couldn’t comprehend; he looked blankly toward the sound to find the surroundings had changed yet again!

A second ago, it was the serene deep sea; the next, complete darkness; upon opening his eyes again, he found himself in a resplendent divine hall, and the next moment standing in a beautiful courtyard, resembling a wilderness landscape above ground.

Born and raised in the undersea world, Jia Xin had never seen what the land looked like, only caught glimpses of a few scenes from his family’s memory stone.

Could this be a dream?

“I asked you to reveal your true form!” Jiang Yuanxin mused, wondering if this Panluo Demon had hit himself into idiocy.

Since waking, he had stared with wide eyes and open mouth but hadn’t uttered a word; fortunately, his dazed state didn’t affect the quality of his shell. But his lack of understanding and cooperation was troublesome.

Jia Xin still foolishly looked around, ignoring the request entirely.

Yan Xuan sensed his master return urgently and sprinted over, “Master, who is this? Looks kind of foolish, is he a new member of our little courtyard?”

“No, this is a nefarious sea demon. But his true form, Panluo, is an invaluable refining material, so I brought him back, intending to have him reveal his true form and leave behind his shell for Yun Ying and Leng Yutang’s refining.” Jiang Yuan smiled cunningly, “Yan Xuan, can you turn him into a Panluo?”

“What’s difficult about that? Just watch my performance, Master!” Yan Xuan proudly strutted to Jia Xin, and his body suddenly enlarged. Opening a dragon-like mouth, he let out a fierce roar, “Roar!”

A roar, filled with oppressive force, swept over, causing Jia Xin’s skin to wrinkle ever so slightly.

Divine beasts have a natural suppression over ordinary demon beasts and demon cultivators, let alone Jia Xin whose realm is not high. Shocked by this oppressive roar, he was scared witless and instinctively revealed his true form, transforming into a black-patterned giant Panluo resembling something two stories tall, squatting in the courtyard.

Due to the impact, his health that was already in the red couldn’t hold, directly turning to zero.

Yan Xuan: !!!

Darn it, he died just like that?

“Master, I really didn’t do it on purpose; I didn’t expect this guy to be this fragile.” He was confused, hurriedly explaining, “I held back; I didn’t really do anything to him…”

Jiang Yuan waved with a laugh, “He didn’t have many days left, to begin with, having committed many sins losing Yin Virtue. Seeing even a Divine Beast could kill him, so it has nothing to do with you. Dying just like that saves me the trouble of slaughtering and retrieving the shell. Now, I can toss him into the slaughterhouse and let Yun Ying craft a magical treasure.”

Yan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good. I thought I hadn’t used much force, yet he immediately croaked.”

Jiang Yuan clicked to collect the Panluo into a storage bag, then threw it into the slaughterhouse for disassembly.

“I have about thirty more, and I need you to repeat the earlier operation. Regardless of life or death, just revealing their true form will do. Once the work is done, I’ll give you a special treat.”

“Hehehe! There’s a good deal like this? Master, you’re the best!” Yan Xuan grinned, thinking to himself this counts as work? Only my master is generous enough to turn playing into real merit, and even offer special treats.

Now, this was a big win!

Casually, another sea demon was brought out from the Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda by Jiang Yuan, without a word; Yan Xuan faced him with another roar.

The sea demon, immersed in the sorrow of failing robbery and losing lifespan, with barely a few days left, glanced up to see a “dragon,” and losing strength in his legs, instinctively turned into his true form—a ten-plus-meter-long big fish!
