Dean Hong is now boasting arrogantly in front of Chu Feng’s Longevity Hall. Perhaps in the near future, he will validate an old saying.

The higher you leap, the harder you fall.

Hearing that Chu Feng brought up the previous incident at the Alchemy Venerate Academy, asking for compensation again, Dean Hong’s face turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Hmph, those ill-gotten gains acquired through dubious means can only protect you temporarily. Only your ability to earn money yourself is the true way."

"People like you, who spend all day exhaustively thinking about how to swindle and deceive for ill-gotten gains, will never strike it rich."

Dean Hong looked at Chu Feng with disdain, condescendingly lecturing him.

In his eyes, Chu Feng was a person of bad character.

As for the alchemy skills of the Longevity Hall, he considered them worthless.

"Our Alchemy Venerate Academy is the authentic alchemy school of the Divine Baihu Kingdom. We absolutely cannot allow someone like you, who is of bad character and poor alchemy skills, to exist." Dean Hong was showing his stance, wanting the Longevity Hall to shut down.

The Alchemy Venerate Academy is old-guard and recognized as the pinnacle of alchemy in the Divine Baihu Kingdom.

It’s second only to Shennong Mountain in terms of alchemy prowess.

Dean Hong is highly esteemed throughout the entire Divine Martial Continent. One of the top Alchemy Venerates.

Such a person naturally felt quite proud.

He looked down on Chu Feng from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Alchemy Venerate Academy’s alchemy skills are so superior; there have been many people in Baihu City recently attacked by demons and turned into fools. If you’re really capable, then cure them!" Chu Feng has yet to find a way to cure Li Shishi.

He decided to indirectly inquire if the Alchemy Venerate Academy could help.

"Hmph, I can certainly concoct an elixir to cure them. However, it will take some time." Dean Hong, having been caught off guard by Chu Feng, coldly snorted, feigning confidence.

Although he showed bravado, he was clearly lacking confidence.

Dean Hong had already diagnosed many of the people attacked by demons. But despite trying everything, he couldn’t cure them.

The pressure on him was naturally significant.

Fame can be burdensome.

The Alchemy Venerate Academy is the most powerful alchemy force in Baihu City, deeply respected by all.

Now, with so many afflicted people, everyone was hoping that the Alchemy Venerate Academy would produce an effective elixir.

A day or two, they might find excuses to delay.

Over time, the pressure on the Alchemy Venerate Academy only grew.

Nearly two weeks had passed, and the Alchemy Venerate Academy still hadn’t managed to cure anyone.

This probably left many disappointed.

Dean Hong walked away with a cold expression.

Chu Feng returned to the rear courtyard to continue researching Li Shishi’s condition. Since eradicating the wisp of the demon soul, she hadn’t gone mad again. She only remained absent-minded.

Seeing his most capable subordinate turned into a fool pained Chu Feng deeply.

Several more days passed without any improvement in Li Shishi’s condition. Nor did it worsen.

"Master, it’s Smiling Maitreya. I have urgent matters to report to you!" said the voice of Smiling Maitreya from outside.

"Come in!"

Chu Feng had been with Li Shishi all these days, going nowhere.

His subordinates knew his mood was bad and dared not disturb him lightly.

"I was patrolling the store just now when I overheard some customers discussing the demon incidents. They say the first two people attacked by demons have begun growing fangs, their eyes blood-red, their nails sharp, and even scales have grown on them. Their appearances are starting to change. Some speculate that it won’t be long before these people become real demons."

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Chu Feng, striking his mind with a loud buzz.

If Li Shishi, such a delicate beauty, turned into a demon, it would be a huge pity.

Chu Feng was unwilling to accept such a reality.

"You may leave. If you discover any important information about the demons, report it to me immediately." Chu Feng flicked his fingers, and an elixir the size of a dragon’s eye shot towards Smiling Maitreya.

Smiling Maitreya instinctively caught the elixir, and upon seeing it, his expression turned extremely elated.

"Thank you, Master, for your generous gift!" The elixir was the Seventh Grade God Transformation Elixir he had been longing for, which could help him break through to the Sword God realm.

Although not guaranteed, the success rate would at least double.

Beixie National Master and the Poison Eye Dragon King both gained promotion to the Sword God Realm thanks to Chu Feng’s elixir bestowal.

Smiling Maitreya had yearned for this day for years.

His hard work and dedication to Chu Feng over the years, growing more loyal, were finally rewarded with the God Transformation Elixir to aid his advancement to the Sword God Realm.

After Smiling Maitreya left, Chu Feng fell into contemplation.

The earliest patients attacked by demons already showing signs of demonization indicated their demon souls had been continuously causing mischief.

And devouring their normal souls.

Once the control of their bodies was taken, the demonization process could begin.

"Mokeboer, haven’t you learned the Dream Entry Technique? Use it on Li Shishi to help me investigate her soul. I suspect she has been idiotic because her life soul got damaged and partially devoured by the demon soul."

With his wealth of experience, Chu Feng suddenly thought this might be possible.

The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King, without a word, floated out and immediately used the Dream Entry Technique to try to control Li Shishi. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Not long after, Li Shishi, who had been giggling foolishly, closed her eyes and fell into a dream.

The Dream Entry Technique is quite formidable; it can even glimpse into strong enemies’ thoughts and desires.

"Great opportunity, witness me!"

Chu Feng promptly sent a wisp of divine sense into Li Shishi’s Mud Ball Palace.

Unlike previous times, this time his divine sense encountered no resistance. Li Shishi’s soul even cooperated with him.

All this was thanks to the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King.

Controlling Li Shishi’s divine soul within her dream. This was indeed an excellent method.

Even a fool can dream.

In the dream, everything can be guided and controlled by the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King.

"I’ve found it!"

After successfully invading her divine soul, Chu Feng soon discovered a small shadow within her life soul.

That part was distinctly different.

If his guess was correct, this was damage.

No wonder she hasn’t regained her senses and remains in a foolish state.

Turns out, her life soul was indeed traumatized.

Now that he’s identified the cause, it’s easy to handle. With Chu Feng’s alchemy skills, he’d merely need to specifically concoct a Reviving Elixir to aid her in repairing the trauma to her divine soul, leading to complete recovery.

To be sure, Chu Feng did not rush to withdraw.

He meticulously searched her divine soul, leaving no suspicious area unchecked.

The demonic nature was deceitful.

This approach was to prevent any remnants of the demon soul.
