In the silent room, it was evident that both individuals were somewhat shocked by this outcome. After all, it involved thousands of lives, lives that had been brutally mistreated before their deaths.
"I think I understand why Li Zheng was able to reach the realm of Resonance of Muscles and Bones. It turns out it was because he mastered the method of refining the Blood Demon Pill," A Qi's voice broke the silence after a while.
"When the Blood Demon Sect was sorting through the belongings of that disciple, they not only discovered the method for refining the Blood Demon Pill but also found some ready-made Blood Demon Pills. Overjoyed, they immediately began secret experiments on the effects of the Blood Demon Pill.
According to the records left by that disciple, the Blood Demon Pill could rapidly enhance a Martial Cultivator's physical strength, improve their constitution, and even elevate their cultivation aptitude!
Such effects were astonishing, especially the enhancement of aptitude, which was an immense temptation for all Martial Cultivators. Although martial achievements are not solely determined by innate talent, no one would complain about having higher aptitude.
As is well known, for a Martial Cultivator to improve their cultivation aptitude, aside from diligent training and continuously using Primordial Energy to refine and enhance their bodies, they would need rare treasures from heaven and earth to achieve such results. These could include certain precious Primordial Medicines or powerful Flesh of Fierce Beasts.
However, the Blood Demon Pill created by this disciple also possessed such effects. How could this not make the higher-ups of the Blood Demon Sect feel as if they had struck gold? They saw an opportunity to rapidly strengthen their sect's power and gain control over the entire Demon Sect.
Just imagine if all disciples of a sect were genius-level talents; how strong would that sect become?
Thus, even though the method for refining the Blood Demon Pill was extremely cruel, members of the Demon Sect were inherently reckless in their actions. The Blood Demon Sect, notorious for its reputation, felt no psychological pressure regarding such matters.
Soon enough, experimental results emerged. Just as recorded by that disciple, the Blood Demon Pill indeed had an effect on enhancing a Martial Cultivator's aptitude. Immediately, the higher-ups of the Blood Demon Sect decided to secretly capture Martial Cultivators to refine more Blood Demon Pills.
The effect of each Blood Demon Pill on enhancing aptitude was limited; therefore, to elevate the entire sect's strength, a large quantity of Blood Demon Pills was necessary.
No one knew how many Martial Cultivators were captured during that time and refined into Blood Demon Pills. The Blood Demon Sect itself operated discreetly, so for a long period, no one noticed their nefarious actions.
However, fire cannot be hidden under paper forever. Despite the Blood Demon Sect's efforts to conceal their actions and most of those captured being Loose Cultivators, an unusual number of talented disciples suddenly appearing within the sect eventually drew attention from various other Sects.
After suspicion arose, a series of investigations followed, and the secret of the Blood Demon Pill was finally exposed.
After learning the truth, the major Sects were extremely enraged. The use of the Blood Demon Pill as a cultivation method was akin to cannibalism, something that no Sect could tolerate.
At the same time, they felt a sense of dread, for once this matter was exposed, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar among Loose Cultivators. No one would accept that their hard-earned cultivation could become someone else's food source. At that point, conflicts between Loose Cultivators and Sects would inevitably arise again, potentially even more severe than the incident with Danxin Sect.
What terrified the major Sects even more was that the Blood Demon Pill offered the temptation of rapid advancement. If this information were to leak, the consequences would be unimaginable. The world would be filled with fear and distrust, leading to a disaster for all humanity.
To prevent such a situation, without much deliberation, the major Sects collectively ordered punitive measures against Blood Demon Sect. Even within Demon Sect, there was agreement on this decision.
Later, under the united assault of the major Sects, Blood Demon Sect was completely uprooted. The vast majority of its disciples were captured, and all records related to the Blood Demon Pill were destroyed. In one night, Blood Demon Sect was annihilated!
At that time, the downfall of Blood Demon Sect caused quite a stir. However, after its eradication, the major Sects simultaneously blocked any information regarding the Blood Demon Pill. As a result, many Martial Cultivators may have heard of it but did not truly understand what it was.
The current Blood Demon Sect is also a reestablishment of Demon Sect and has no relation to the original one.
Listening to A Qi recount this secret from over two hundred years ago, Lufan felt shaken but also raised his own question: "Since all information regarding the Blood Demon Pill was destroyed back then, why does Li Zheng have the method for refining it?"
"There were still some who escaped capture. Some disciples of Blood Demon Sect who were out in the world heard about their sect's destruction and immediately went into hiding. There was nothing that could be done about them.
Moreover, while the major Sects claimed to have destroyed all records, do you really believe that? Just look at me; I know about these matters."
Lufan thought for a moment and came to realize that given the nature of the major Sects, something as dangerous as the Blood Demon Pill would certainly be sought after if it ever appeared. Even if they didn't refine it themselves, they would need to understand its methods for precaution.
Furthermore, there are always ambitious individuals in this world. The Blood Demon Pill is a powerful tool for rapidly establishing a strong force. Perhaps Li Zheng's method for refining the Blood Demon Pill was given to him by some ambitious person with the intent of secretly building power.
This wasn't difficult to guess. Once he understood this point, Lufan no longer found it strange; he merely felt pity for Loose Cultivators as they had always been in a disadvantaged position and were now seen by some as mere resources for cultivation.
Looking at those Blood Demon Pills, Lufan felt an inexplicable turmoil within himself.
"What's wrong? Do you want to refine these Blood Demon Pills?" A Qi misunderstood at that moment.
"The Blood Demon Pill seems powerful and can quickly enhance one's strength, but after extensive research by various sects, it was discovered that it has many flaws, three of which are the most obvious.
First, it is only effective for Martial Cultivators below the Martial Arts Master level. For those above that level, even if they refine it, there will be no enhancement in their aptitude.
Second, while Martial Cultivators who use the Blood Demon Pill may have strong physical bodies, they can only reach the Sixth Rank Peak at most. There is almost no possibility of breaking through to the Seventh Rank to achieve the status of Martial Arts Master. In fact, none of the many disciples of the Blood Demon Sect who practiced with the Blood Demon Pill ever achieved the title of Master.
Lastly, Martial Cultivators who practice with the Blood Demon Pill sometimes lose control of their temperament for unknown reasons. The disciple who originally created the Blood Demon Pill inexplicably provoked a descendant of Fuzong and ended up being killed.
So far, no one knows why these situations occur when using the Blood Demon Pill for cultivation. Some believe it is due to the cruel method of refining the pill, which contains the resentment and curses of its victims. Others think it is a manifestation of inner demons created by the cultivator themselves.
There are various theories about this, but eventually, everyone agreed that using the Blood Demon Pill for cultivation is self-destructive. So I advise you not to use it."
"You've misunderstood; I'm not thinking about how to refine them, just reflecting on it," Lufan said with a hint of amusement upon realizing A Qi's misunderstanding.
"That's good to hear. Anyway, it's not a good thing. Let's just toss it aside. On the contrary, I just took a look and finally understand why Li Zheng has collected so many Primordial Medicines," A Qi sighed in relief that Lufan wasn't interested in that idea and excitedly shifted to another topic.
"What does he want to do?"
"He wants to practice Alchemy! A very famous precious Elixir, the Transcendence Pill!"
