Scumbag Chapter 127 The Enchanting Demon King is a Living Lei Feng (39)

"My dear, would you return to Zhenshan Sect and help me get close to the phoenix? I need the parasol wood’s spirit core..." He Huan’s voice

"My dear, would you return to Zhenshan Sect and help me get close to the phoenix? I need the parasol wood’s spirit core..."

He Huan’s voice was sweet and coquettish, "And if possible… I’d also like the Phoenix’s beast core..."

Over the past six months, she had subdued several powerful demonic beasts, using them to stir infighting among the demon race and obtaining some of their beast cores.

It must be said that beast pills and spirit pills were the most effective aids for cultivation.

Though none matched Bai Chen’s core in quality, quantity made up for it, allowing He Huan to advance to the Divine Transformation stage in an incredibly short time… something she hadn’t anticipated.

Then there was Ji Yanjun. He Huan’s instincts had been right.

As long as she gave this emotionally starved, insecure coward a little sweetness, he’d become her most loyal lapdog.

All the treasures the demon race had accumulated over the years had been handed over by him to please her.

The only regret was that the demon race’s treasures were too heavily tainted with demonic energy, making them less suitable for He Huan’s immortal physique.

Therefore, He Huan set her sights on the phoenix.

The Phoenix was a divine beast of light and Yang energy, and his beast core must be extraordinary.

Originally, the Phoenix Race had lived in the immortal realm, but after the ancient world-ending war, the Phoenix Race was wiped out, leaving only Mingting, a lone seed, stranded in the Cultivation World.

Rumors said the Phoenix Race had its own legacy, which must now be in Mingting’s hands.

As the sole inheritor of an entire race, just how wealthy was he?

If she could get the ancient parasol wood’s spirit core, the Phoenix’s beast core, and the Phoenix Race’s treasures...

He Huan’s greed flared.

"I’m willing." Leng Rong took He Huan’s fingers and kissed her fingertips reverently.

"Whatever you want, I’ll strive to bring it to you and lay it at your feet..."

Fengtian watched this secretly, not daring to make a sound.

Before, it had considered using a memory stone to capture evidence, but ever since He Huan awakened her immortal memories, her senses had become frighteningly sharp.

Even Fengtian had to hunker down, treading carefully to avoid detection.

Seeing Leng Rong betraying his sect, betraying the human race, and even wanting to plot against its own boss, Fengtian was furious.

It slipped away quietly and relayed the news to Mingting.

Mingting wasn’t surprised by Leng Rong’s betrayal.

After all, in the original novel, this Supporting Male Character is a heartless, ungrateful man who coldly watched his sect fall without lifting a finger.

At least Kou Xuehong had stood with his sect when the Sword Sect resisted the demons.

No matter how much he loved He Huan, even after being expelled by Sect Master Baili, he hadn’t sold out the Sword Sect’s secrets.

In the contest of ‘who’s the worst’, Leng Rong took first place uncontested.

"I know. You be careful too."

Mingting wasn’t at Zhenshan Sect right now. Instead, he was at Seven Stars Island.

Recently, Mingting had an idea, and he wanted to enlist the help of the master craftsmen of Seven Stars Island. But when Seven Stars Island’s Ancestor heard his proposal, he shook his head.

"You want to create a cage capable of imprisoning Divine Transformation cultivators, and even multiple high-level demon generals and great demonic beasts? Forget whether such a thing is even possible… just the spiritual treasures required for its forging would be an astronomical sum."

"On top of that, it would demand the finest craftsmen, assisted by your Phoenix Ture Flame, and the time investment would be immense."

Peng Hua, the Ancestor of Seven Stars Island, was an expert in artifact forging.

He understood that Mingting likely wanted to create such a treasure to deal with the threat of demons and the demonic beasts.

But in Peng Hua’s eyes, this idea was pure fantasy.

Great demonic beasts and demon generals were numerous and immensely powerful. Containing so many of them would require a divine artifact.

But did such artifacts even exist in this world?

If they did, they were probably in the Immortal Realm. The Cultivation World does not have the resources to create such divine artifact, nor does it have people who can create it.

And even if such a treasure could be forged, how would they gather so many great demonic beasts and demon generals in one place?

That was another problem.

And even if they did find a way to lure them together, they’d still need an accompanying illusion array to trap them long enough for the artifact to work.

"Your idea is good, but the materials required are simply too rare."

"Besides, our skills may not be enough to forge a divine artifact. Even if we succeed by sheer luck, it might only be usable once… a single-use divine artifact would be terribly inefficient."

Peng Hua knew Mingting was worried about demons and the demonic beasts joining forces to attack human race, ‘This child was just too kind-hearted.’

"Little Treasure, I really can't forge such an artifact. We can think of other ways… Don’t fixate on this one..."

Before Peng Hua could finish his words, a mountain of spiritual treasures piled up in front of him.

"How about now? Is this enough?" Mingting asked.

"Ah…!" Peng Hua was stunned for a moment, then he nearly lost his mind.

Sensing the surge of spiritual energy, the other master craftsmen of Seven Stars Island swarmed.

When they saw the hill of treasures… Heavenly Demon Stones, North Star Profound Dragon Stones, Six Yin Supreme Purity Stones, Purple Heart Ore, Primordial Yang Crystal Veins, Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Milk, Vermilion Bird Feathers, Blazing Gold...

And many other treasures they had never even seen before… these people also went crazy after Peng Hua.

"Wastrel! You reckless little…!"

Peng Hua scooped up the spilled Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Milk, clutching his chest like he was on the verge of a qi deviation.

He had never seen such a prodigal spendthrift in his life!

Peng Hua was so angry that he kicked Mingting and kept scolding him for being a prodigal.

Mingting had taken out half of the Phoenix Clan’s treasures.

In the original novel, the human race had suffered horribly, with massive casualties… all because of a few men fighting over a woman’s affections.

And let’s not forget, the Male Lead was one of those responsible for the calamity human race suffered.

Therefore, Mingting decided to do some good karma on behalf of the Phoenix Clan. At the very least, he wanted to protect humanity when the demonic factions came.

Peng Hua immediately ordered Seven Stars Island’s Sect Master, Huo Wuqing, to summon people to carefully sort and store these treasures. Some needed jade boxes, some required sandalwood containers, others had to be sealed in ice crystals...

In the end, it took three days and nights of work to properly catalog everything.

Peng Hua also called the people in the chat group and summoned several other Ancestors to brainstorm the cage that Mingting mentioned together.

There are also those who are good at craftsmanship among the Ancestors. This is a job with a lot of work, so Peng Hua still needs their help in some places.

"My baby is just too kind!"

When Yu Bingqing knew that Mingting took out all the treasures of the Phoenix Clan for the sake of the Cultivation World, she looked at him lovingly.

"Baby, we’ll remember this kindness. Don't worry, as long as us old bones are still around, we won’t let those demons trample over human lands."

Since when was it acceptable to sit back and let the younger generation handle everything?!

Seeing this little phoenix contribute both resources and effort made them feel ashamed!

"I'm just protecting my home."

Mingting said with a smile.

After all these years among them, he had come to see the people of the Cultivation World as his family. So it was only right for him to do his part.

Mingting had studied alchemy and artifact forging at Seven Stars Island before, so he is considered a half-expert in this field. He stayed to participate in the divine artifact’s development.

He even sketched out some mechanical principles from modern society, hoping to incorporate them into the artifact.

This idea was well-received by the master craftsmen.

They had always known Mingting was talented, but they didn't expect that they could make him to come up with such an extraordinary thing this time.
