The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 307: Revealing old scores

Red Mountains, Swordback Beast Territory. After discussing with the man and the cat, they found the lair of the Swordback Beast and planned to stay here for the time being. After all, this is the territory of the Swordback Beast. In a short period of time, the scent of the Swordback Beast at the peak of the fifth level of body refining will not disappear, and generally no blind monsters will come to disturb it.

In the cave, Pan Chengfeng lit a fire, and Heiwu lay on Pan Chengfeng's thighs, allowing Pan Chengfeng to check his injuries. Pan Chengfeng gently pushed aside the hair on his neck, and a deep scar that could be seen to the bone came into his eyes. Pan Chengfeng's hands trembled slightly, and it was impossible to say that he didn't feel distressed. After all, Heiwu and Pan Chengfeng have signed a contract for many years. Although Pan Chengfeng always scolds him, he has never treated Heiwu badly in life. Now seeing that Heiwu's scar is so deep, he instinctively feels a little distressed, but still says stubbornly: "You have no ability but you try to show off like others! If this scar can't grow hair, you will become a mangy cat. Do you think Qian'er Shuang'er will still be willing to pet you!?"

Heiwu meowed comfortably. Pan Chengfeng took out the medicine bottle, poured some medicine powder on the wound and said, "Do you think you are me? No matter how serious my injury is, it will heal in a few days without leaving any scars!" Heiwu turned over and looked at Pan Chengfeng in surprise, and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said angrily, "What do you care about! I am worried that Qian'er will see this scar after I go back, and I won't be able to explain it even if I have a lot of mouths!" Heiwu gave Pan Chengfeng a reassuring look, meowed, and lay down again, allowing Pan Chengfeng to continue applying medicine to him.

Pan Chengfeng sneered, "Oh? I hope your physical fitness is as good as you say. If you are discovered, I will show you how I will deal with you!" Pan Chengfeng found more than twenty scars on Heiwu's body, some deep and some shallow. He applied the best medicine to all of them. Heiwu meowed comfortably and fell asleep directly on Pan Chengfeng's thigh.

Today was the first time that Heiwu had such a fierce battle in all these years. Although there were many battles in the past, they were all bullying other monsters. Apart from being injured by humans, this was the first time that he was injured by a monster. After all, the monsters in the secret realm before were the lowest level and could not threaten his existence.

Pan Chengfeng felt that Heiwu's breath was very stable, so he was relieved and thought to himself: "It should be nothing serious. I am really worried." After Heiwu advanced to the 5th level of body refining, he was still a great help to Pan Chengfeng. Not to mention the previous battle in the Yu family killer organization, the previous battle with the Green Scaled Dragon. The Green Scaled Dragon has a strong body and its strength is not inferior to Pan Chengfeng at all, and it also has that abnormal innate magical power. If Heiwu hadn't used the soul thorn unexpectedly to scatter the soul of the Green Scaled Dragon, Pan Chengfeng might not have won by himself. The Green Scaled Dragon has a strong body and a relatively weak soul. Heiwu's soul thorn is its nemesis. Pan Chengfeng moved Heiwu away and began to close his eyes to rest. He was also very tired these days.

The next day, the man and the cat woke up. Heiwu stretched, meowed, and went out. Pan Chengfeng shouted, "Don't be so stubborn, forget it if you can't find it." Heiwu turned around and meowed confidently. Pan Chengfeng reminded him, "Don't go north, go south. The monsters in the north are all above the fifth level of body refining, you can't deal with them. The auxiliary medicine can also be found in the south, but it's hard to find. If you have confidence in your nose, go and look for it." Heiwu shook his tail, meowed, and left the cave with his short legs.

What auxiliary medicine is Heiwu going to find? Spiritual medicine is indispensable for each advancement of body refining skills, but the main medicine is hard to find, while auxiliary medicine is easy to find. After all, there is no fixed auxiliary medicine. As long as the efficacy is similar, many auxiliary medicines can be replaced by other medicines. Heiwu is now looking for the best auxiliary medicine, Chenxin grass. This spiritual grass has only one function, which is to increase the efficacy of the main medicine by 10%. It can be said that Chenxin grass is a spiritual grass needed by many alchemists, but this spiritual grass cannot be cultivated artificially. Pan Chengfeng doesn't know the specific reason, but in the area of ​​​​the fourth level of body refining monsters, there is a chance to find this grass.

Heiwu left confidently, but Pan Chengfeng was a little worried. He wanted to follow him, but he felt embarrassed, so he finally put aside his pride and followed Heiwu out. Pan Chengfeng dodged a few times and caught up with Heiwu. Heiwu looked at Pan Chengfeng strangely and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said lightly: "I just want to see if your nose is as powerful as you say."

Heiwu proudly meowed, Pan Chengfeng asked in surprise: "Within two thousand feet? Your nose can smell the smell of such a distance? Why didn't you say it before?" Heiwu looked a little guilty and secretly glanced at Pan Chengfeng. Pan Chengfeng understood instantly and sneered: "Are you afraid that I will ask you to find spiritual flowers and herbs? So you hide it?" Heiwu suddenly stopped and turned around and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said angrily: "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes? Tell me yourself, since you came out of the secret realm, have I ever taken advantage of you? How many advantages have you taken from me? 'The heart of a villain is to feed the belly of a gentleman' is talking about cats like you!"

Heiwu also got angry and meowed several times. Pan Chengfeng raised his hand to stop Heiwu from speaking, and said, "Okay, since you said so, then we brothers should settle accounts clearly. What you earn is yours, and I won't give you free food and lodging. In the future, I will buy all the spiritual flowers and herbs you find at the market price. How about that?" Heiwu nodded his head firmly and raised his little paw. Pan Chengfeng also stretched out his hand, and the man and the cat clapped their hands to swear.

After high-fiving, Pan Chengfeng said with a smile, "Okay, now that the rules have been set, we have to calculate your consumption over the past few years. First, this spirit beast bag costs 30,000 high-grade crystal beads, your ten-year high-grade spirit beast pill costs 120,000 high-grade crystal beads, and the medicine I just gave you is also a top-grade spirit medicine, so I'll count it as 5,000 high-grade crystal beads. A total of 155,000 high-grade crystal beads, and finally, the sixth-grade spiritual crystal core you ate is a priceless treasure, so I'll count it as 100 million high-grade crystal beads for you. Give me the money, or you won't have your next meal."

Heiwu was angry and meowed. Pan Chengfeng sneered, "What contribution did you make in the secret realm? You just came out to eat two meals and swallowed that crystal bead! The dragon is yours half. The purchase price of a fifth-level dragon's corpse is about 10 million high-quality crystal beads, and the fifth-level crystal core is 20 million high-quality crystal beads. After deducting the decimal, you still owe me 85 million high-quality crystal beads!" Heiwu was dizzy. He was inexplicably burdened with a debt of 85 million.

Heiwu lowered his head and thought for a long time. In the end, he felt that it was better to be supported by Pan Chengfeng. He could get everything he wanted without having to calculate these headache-inducing numbers. Pan Chengfeng looked at the tangled Heiwu and said to himself, "If I can't deal with you, come to me and settle the account, I can't even sell you for that crystal core! You should be prepared to be a working cat for me for the rest of your life!"

Heiwu thought for a long while, and finally looked up and meowed. Pan Chengfeng sneered, "What? Don't you want to settle the old scores? Don't you think you don't eat much? Is it easy to feed you? We just high-fived each other, and you regret it now?" Heiwu came to Pan Chengfeng's feet, rubbed his neck against Pan Chengfeng's ankle and meowed. Pan Chengfeng snorted, "Don't try that. Save it for your business when you go back to please Qian'er and Shuang'er. You've been using me for free for many years, isn't it time for you to do some work?"

Hearing Pan Chengfeng's words, Hei Wu immediately became alert, raised his little head and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said cheerfully: "That's right, but I don't make money from these spiritual herbs. It's just that some spiritual flowers and herbs are not available in the market or in the sect, so you have to work hard!" Hei Wu looked at Pan Chengfeng's wretched smile, hesitated for a long time, and finally meowed helplessly. Pan Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "That's good, I won't let you go looking for spiritual medicine for no reason. You will still be the same as usual, eating and sleeping, and eating when you wake up. But when I need to find spiritual medicine, you have to work faster!"

The man and the cat finally reached an agreement. It turned out that they were afraid that it would be dangerous for the little cat to go out to look for spiritual herbs by himself, but they didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest. This cat is actually a good hand at finding spiritual medicines. Pan Chengfeng patted his shoulder, and Heiwu jumped up and meowed happily. Pan Chengfeng said: "Do you have any other skills? Don't hide them~" Heiwu poked his little head and thought for a while, then meowed. Pan Chengfeng's face darkened and said: "That doesn't count, there is nothing else?" Heiwu shook his head, and Pan Chengfeng sighed and said: "I thought you had some amazing skills, so you just looked for spiritual herbs. Let's get to work~"

The man and the cat started to move southward. Along the way, Pan Chengfeng got a lot of spiritual herbs. Although they were all very common spiritual herbs, he picked them up when he saw them. Heiwu was very efficient. He could tell what kind of spiritual herb it was, in which direction, and how far it was from there just by smelling it, which saved Pan Chengfeng a lot of trouble. Pan Chengfeng used to look for spiritual herbs by himself in an environment suitable for the growth of such spiritual herbs, basically relying on luck. Now with Heiwu's guidance, the speed is more than a hundred times faster!

The man and the cat picked more than a hundred spiritual herbs in half a day, but unfortunately there was no main precious medicine. They were all auxiliary medicines. Pan Chengfeng had gathered all the auxiliary medicines for his promotion. However, in order to have a bite to eat, Hei Wu insisted on looking for Chenxin Grass and promised to find it. Pan Chengfeng was surprised. Where did this little cat get the confidence? It is recognized that this spiritual herb is rare, and because of its medicinal properties, few people will go out of their way to find it, which is not worth the loss.

Since Heiwu was so confident, Pan Chengfeng also wanted to see if the kitten had any other tricks. The man and the cat continued to wander around the Red Mountains. Time passed slowly, and night slowly fell.
