My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

Chapter 227 This Demon is Too Poor!
“Looks like I won’t be able to continue tonight.”

Lin Wudao sighed regretfully as he looked at the ferocious and bloodthirsty eyes in the darkness.

To others, the night in the Land of Sins was a land of death that contained great terror. However, to him, it was a land of inexhaustible treasures.

The demons and evil things inside were all corpse-collecting targets for him to make a fortune!

Unfortunately, as he had killed too many demons, he had attracted a Divine Wheel realm demon.

Tonight, with it guarding outside, he definitely couldn’t continue hunting.

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao looked at the large number of demon corpses on the ground, and a satisfied smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.

After Lu Chentian, Xiao Jinglun, and the others worked hard, they finished cutting open all the bodies of the demons.

In the end, they obtained 62 demon stones. Among them, there were 50 level-1 demon stones and 12 level-2 demon stones.

Even Lu Chentian couldn’t suppress his joy when he saw the piles of demon stones before him. The respect he had for Lin Wudao grew stronger.

“City Lord, we’ve dug up a total of 62 demon stones from the corpses of these demons. It’s enough for us to use for ten days without worrying.”

Lu Chentian was all smiles.

As he spoke, he put all the demon stones into a black cloth bag and respectfully handed it to Lin Wudao.

Seeing this, Lin Wudao nodded.

.....

“The production rate of demon stones is a little low…” He sighed.

There were about 1,800 demon corpses in front of him, but in the end, they only obtained 62 demon stones, far less than what he had expected.

“Lu Chentian, do all the demon stones in the Land of Sins come from demons?”

“No. Demons and evil things are only one way to obtain demon stones. With this method, not only does one have to face huge risks, but one also has to rely on luck. Other than demons, there are also some demon stone mines in the Land of Sins. There is a certain chance of obtaining demon stones through mining. However, the demon stone mines in the Land of Sins are basically controlled by the three magnates. Moreover, they also have to face the attacks of demons and evil things in the night,” Lu Chentian explained.

He then gave Lin Wudao and the others a brief introduction to Sin City.

Wherever there were people, there would be fights. Sin City was no exception.

As the place of exile for the entire Mountain Mausoleum Area, Sin Demon Palace, Madman’s Pavilion, and Killing God Inn.

“In Sin City, Killing God Inn has the fewest members, but it has the City contained a large number of vicious and evil villains. After a long time, they had gathered and developed.

By now, Sin City had three powerful factions, namely the Black Demon Palace, Madman’s Pavilion, and Killing God Inn.

“In Sin City, Killing God Inn has the fewest members, but it has the strongest quality and strength. Generally speaking, only those above the Divine Strength realm are qualified to join the Killing God Inn.”

“The Black Demon Palace has the most members, but they are chaotic. The Madman’s Pavilion is the most unbridled. Although they don’t have as many members as the Black Demon Palace, their strength is not much different. All this while, although the three magnates have been fighting endlessly, they have barely maintained a balanced situation. There has never been a situation where one of them has become the dominant one.”

Lu Chentian continued, “In addition, it is said that the three magnates have Divine Wheel realm powerhouses.”

Divine Wheel realm?

Lin Wudao was slightly surprised.

“Do the three magnates have a lot of demon stones?”

After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked.

Hearing this, although Lu Chentian was surprised, he still nodded.

“Yes! Every magnate in Sin City has a few demon stone mines under them which can produce tens of thousands of demon stones every month.”

That many?

Lin Wudao’s eyes flashed with a bright light.

He had killed more than a thousand demons with all his might, but he had only managed to obtain 62 demon stones in the end. In contrast, the three magnates could earn more than 300 demon stones every day through the demon stone mines.

This was the difference.

“Right, I heard that there is a Devil Prison in the Land of Sins?”

What? He was here for Devil Prison?

Lu Chentian’s nerves tensed up when he heard the words “Devil Prison”.

“Brother Lin, why are you asking about Devil Prison?”

“To save someone.”

Lin Wudao was frank.

Ha!

Lu Chentian couldn’t help but gasp when he heard that. His expression turned grave.

“Why? Is there a problem?” Lin Wudao couldn’t help but ask when he saw his reaction.

“Brother Lin, there is indeed a Devil Prison in the Land of Sins. It is said to be located in the deepest part of Sin City. However, that place is taboo! All this while, the people of the Land of Sins have always refrained from mentioning Devil Prison. They don’t want to talk too much about it, and they don’t dare to go there. This is because there is extreme terror in Devil Prison. If the danger level of the demons in the night is one star, then Devil Prison is ten stars. As long as one enters, it’s impossible to come out alive. Moreover, the most terrible thing is that Devil Prison is said to be cursed. Anyone who steps into it will be cursed to death.”

…

Lu Chentian frowned. He seemed to be extremely afraid of Devil Prison in Sin City.

Curse?

Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.

“In that case, it’s extremely difficult to enter Devil Prison to save people?”

“Yes, almost impossible! It has existed since ancient times. The curse in Devil Prison can even kill a True God.”

It was that terrifying?

Xiao Jinglun was shocked by Lu Chentian’s words.

Then, his brows furrowed tightly, his face full of worry.

He had underestimated Devil Prison. It was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Even the ancestor of the Penglai family was imprisoned inside. They had rushed over to rescue the other party, but it was clearly beyond their power.

The more he thought about it, the gloomier Xiao Jinglun’s face became.

In the end, He let out a long sigh, “It seems that I took it for granted.”

His face was filled with bitterness.

Lin Wudao was not discouraged.

“No matter what, since we’ve come to the Land of Sins, we should at least go to Devil Prison to take a look. There is bound to be a way out.”

As he spoke, Lin Wudao waved his hand and collected all the demon corpses in front of him. Among them, the demons above the Divine Strength realm were put into the heaven burial bronze coffin while the rest were put into the Corpse-refining Furnace.

[Ding!]

[You have collected a demon and obtained a level 2 demon stone. After the system’s tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a level 3 demon stone.]

[You have collected a demon and obtained a drop of level 2 demon blood. After the system’s tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a drop of level 3 demon blood.]

[Unfortunately, you didn’t get anything.]

[Unfortunately…]

…

As he collected the corpses, many notifications sounded in his mind.

After collecting the corpses of hundreds of Divine Strength realm demons, the harvest was not as great as he had imagined. Most of the corpses did not yield anything.

In the end, after collecting the corpses of the demons and evil things, Lin Wudao obtained a total of eight level-3 demon stones, two level-4 demon stones, ten drops of level-3 demon blood, 33 years of cultivation, and 128 years of lifespan.

“The profits from demons are still too little. Looks like I still need to collect the corpses of human powerhouses,” Lin Wudao sighed inwardly.

The greatest treasure of demons was themselves. The number of treasures they possessed or had come into contact with was pitifully small, almost negligible.

Therefore, it was too difficult to get anything out of them.

After today’s experiment, Lin Wudao’s interest in demons and evil things greatly decreased.

The operation had truly been a thankless effort.
