Lin Tian pondered various possibilities in his heart, not making any rash moves.

He came here mainly to save people and incidentally check on Han Wan'Er's condition.

The latter tasks had been completed, but the former was the key point.

Next, he needed to clarify the situation of the demon energy; other matters were not necessary for him to meddle in.

He wasn't like the Sixth Prince and others; from an observer's perspective, he didn't resent these people using demon energy.

He could even understand their circumstances because in such a dangerous environment, there was no time to think too much; strength was the key.

He quietly stood aside and watched the two refine elixirs; Red Sun Zhenren's alchemy skills were quite good, worth learning.

Cao Mingheng mainly took charge of initially refining various herbs into materials that further condensed into elixirs, while Red Sun Zhenren fused demon energy and various materials to condense them into elixir pills.

As the flames danced, time passed, and a furnace of black elixirs appeared in the huge alchemy furnace.

After finishing a batch of elixirs, Lin Tian noticed both of them had somewhat gotten contaminated by demon energy, and their emotions became irritable.

Both of them realized their emotional imbalance and hurriedly took a large gulp of Cold Ice Spirit Spring, which made them calm down a bit.

After adjusting themselves, they packed the refined Demon Madness Pills and started refining the second batch of elixirs.

This grade of elixir was not very difficult for them; the main issue was the anxiety brought about by demonic thought, which made them emotionally restless.

Especially with a lot of flames, the temperature in the palace rose, which might normally make ordinary people uneasy; logically, it shouldn't affect these two, yet it did.

"It seems that after invasion by demon energy, it not only stimulates the body and pollutes it with fatigue, but also affects the mind and even taints the soul, something they call demonic thought?"

After seeing the change in the two, Lin Tian became more cautious of the so-called demon energy, firmly decided not to touch it lightly.

Inside the palace, the flames flickered, and very soon half an hour passed, and the second batch of elixirs was successfully refined.

This kind of Demon Madness Pill was relatively simple, hence the quantity of elixirs in each batch was very large, over a hundred, piled up in a small heap on the side.

Red Sun Zhenren's face revealed more intense grey-black air currents, and he irritably said: "That's enough, it's almost done. Take the elixirs away. Tonight, that's it. We can't refine anymore, or I'll demolish this palace."

Cao Mingheng's condition was better, he chuckled bitterly: "Demon energy's impact on our mindset is getting greater. Hopefully, the sect leader will soon uncover the secret of those two, maybe we can eliminate the drawbacks of absorbing demon energy."

This remark made Lin Tian, who was listening stealthily and planning to change places for further investigation, have a thought: "They're probably referring to Liu Shan and them, unless there are other similar people."

"Not very likely, because their talent comes from bloodline inheritance; this ability is hard to mimic."

Red Sun Zhenren sneered: "Unless it's possible to trace back and find the ability to absorb demon energy without going mad from their bloodline."

Cao Mingheng sighed, agitatedly said: "Hopefully, Master, please rest well and recover your energy. I'll take the elixirs to them."

"Hm."

Red Sun Zhenren nodded, walked aside, and sat down to adjust his status.

Cao Mingheng beckoned to the pile of elixirs, stored them away, and turned to leave.

As he passed by, due to his speed being quite fast, he disturbed the air currents forming a gust of wind.

Lin Tian took advantage of this gust to quietly leave the palace.

Just as he exited and intended to leave to another side, a sudden change occurred, Red Sun Zhenren, who was seated inside the palace, suddenly stood up and shouted: "Courting death!"

He waved his sleeve, releasing a ray of fire light, resembling a phoenix soaring out.

Lin Tian's expression changed slightly, thinking he was exposed.

His concealment techniques were quite sophisticated.

Just as he was prepared to make a getaway, he realized that Red Sun Zhenren's magical treasure didn't target him, but attacked in a different direction.

In the corner outside the palace, the flames cast a shadow.

The shadow realized it was discovered and quickly turned to flee.

It moved swiftly, darting to a distance, aiming to rush into the distant forest.

However, the Fire Phoenix moved fast too, catching up and quickly swooping down.

The shadow evaded miserably, splitting the hard stone slabs in half with a deep slash mark on the ground.

The Fire Phoenix revealed its true form, which was a flaming flying blade.

This was Red Sun Zhenren's Fire Phoenix Chasing Wind Blade, a magical treasure similar to a flying sword. The blade was three inches long, with a hilt that turned into a specially designed tail, engraved with wing patterns on the blade, transforming into a Fire Phoenix upon releasing its power, making its speed extremely fast.

As the Fire Phoenix descended, it was equivalent to the flying blade slashing down. The fleeing shadow was blocked, revealing its body, surprisingly it was a black mouse.

Its fur was shiny and slick, looking very slippery.

Seeing this, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't him that was discovered, but a Mouse Demon who had sneaked in.

Cao Mingheng, who had just exited, also flickered onto the Mouse Demon's escape route, chuckled coldly: "Again with you beasts, seems the slaughter wasn't enough."

With a gruesome grin, he attacked, taking out a fierce Dao Hammer, flames surged up furiously, angrily smashing toward the Mouse Demon.

Boom!

The ground was shattered into pieces.

The Mouse Demon fled in desperation, but a ray of fire light flew by, it couldn't dodge in time, screeched bitterly, and was pinned directly to the ground by the flaming flying blade, and after struggling twice, it died.

Lin Tian noticed that near the palace, there were still Mouse Demons escaping, clearly there wasn't just one.

He shook his head speechlessly, evidently, it wasn't only he who was investigating the situation, but also these creatures.

Red Sun Zhenren also noticed and continued the chase, exterminating two more Mouse Demons.

The hidden sentinels also began to act, but still, one Mouse Demon directly escaped underground.

This made both of them more irritated, cursing with anger.

The commotion attracted nearby people, creating a lively scene.

Lin Tian quietly left, returning to his room, continuing to observe the situation; half of the Sect became chaos.

The mice encountered tonight were indeed suited for sneaky probing, if discovered, they could directly escape underground.

The commotion lasted a while, and Red Sun Zhenren solemnly stated: "Tomorrow expand the array range that restrains Earth Escape here, let's kill them all next time."

"Yes, Master, these beasts are getting more rampant!"

Cao Mingheng, filled with murderous intent: "It's best to go out and eradicate them so they won't invade every day."

"It won't be that easy, you quickly deliver the elixirs to them; today's matters are over."

Red Sun Zhenren waved his hand, turned and returned.

Cao Mingheng stomped on the Mouse Demon's corpse several times, letting people clean up the mess, and grumbled as he left.

Li Vein gradually quieted down, but a new round of investigation began. Celestial Travel Sect started inspecting the arrays and entrances, eliminating hidden threats, and outsiders below the mountain were also put under close scrutiny.
