Chapter 726: Chapter 414 Incense Fire Spirit Pill! Demon Suppression Commander!_2

The distinctive delicacies within the borders of the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land are vastly different.

"..."

Lin Yan set down his chopsticks and casually said, "Demonic creatures in this world are all tainted with a sinister aura. Using their meat to prepare dishes is akin to consuming a deadly poison!"

The young servant’s expression shifted slightly and he hurried to explain.

But Lin Yan spoke again, "However, the sign at your restaurant entrance promotes the use of Demon Bull Blood and Meat, crafted by renowned chefs, infused with the Holy Land’s secret medicine, boasting exceptional taste, enhancing Qi-Blood, and strengthening the physique!"

"Customer must be from the outside..."

The young servant glanced at Lin Yan’s attire, then smiled and said, "In this world, the flesh and blood of demonic creatures are indeed poisonous to the Human Clan. If consumed, it can lead to mild confusion at best, and at worst, uncontrollable physical madness and complete derangement."

"It is said that some temple priests in major cities can employ secret techniques using incense fire to purify and remove the detrimental effects, though it is extremely troublesome."

"But here, things are completely different."

"As everyone knows, our Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land specializes in alchemy and medicinal concoctions."

"One such elixir is called the Incense Fire Spirit Pill."

"If consumed directly by a living being, it would be a deadly poison."

"But when dissolved into water and used to knead and rinse finely cut demonic creature meat, it can remove the inner ’deadly poison’!"

The young servant lowered his voice and continued, "This elixir was created by the previous Saint Master. Rumor has it that back when famine struck, it was painstakingly researched to resolve the food crisis in Southern King City."

Lin Yan pondered upon hearing this.

Southern King City, situated at the borders of the Holy Alliance, was established to guard against invasions from the Demon Domain.

The city covered an expansive area and housed a large population.

While both the inner and outer areas of the city had cultivated farmlands to produce grains and fruits, the yield remained minimal.

The primary source of sustenance still came from within the Holy Alliance territory!

If the Holy Alliance experienced good harvests with favorable weather, Southern King City wouldn’t have to worry about food scarcity.

But if the yields were poor, even those growing grains might starve, and grain supplies sent to Southern King City would inevitably be reduced.

However, Southern King City had one thing in abundance: the flesh and blood of demonic creatures.

If there were elixirs capable of removing their harmful effects, making demonic creature meat edible, it could solve the food problem.

Lin Yan ruminated quietly.

Meanwhile, Little White Ape thought secretly, "So the master has his sights set on the elixir formula for the Incense Fire Spirit Pill!"

"It makes sense. If the formula is brought back, whether to the Taixuan Garrison or the other Three Mansions, it would significantly alleviate food pressures."

"At that point, all it would take is someone shouting ’Saint Master’s might!’ and who knows how many people would feel grateful, causing the Power of Incense to surge endlessly!"

"..."

Lin Yan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "So, your restaurant can acquire a large supply of Incense Fire Spirit Pills?"

"The Incense Fire Spirit Pill is a secret medicine from the Holy Land!"

The young servant’s face showed a hint of pride as he added, "In Holy Dew City, aside from the City Guard Mansion and the Demon Suppression Department, only a few select establishments are authorized to possess the Incense Fire Spirit Pill!"

"If the customer intends to stay in the city for a while, you must remember: only establishments displaying the signboard at their entrance are officially authorized to sell demonic meat."

"Those without the signboard engage in forbidden trade. If caught, the crime is punishable by death."

As the young servant spoke.

Lin Yan murmured, "The punishment is that severe?"

The servant nodded and explained, "Those engaging in illegal trade might be using fake Incense Fire Spirit Pills or splitting one pill into three or four portions, significantly reducing its efficacy."

"In the past, cases arose where martial artists with inner strength consumed demonic meat and lost control."

"But despite the high price of demonic meat compared to regular meats, there are always those reckless enough to engage in forbidden sales."

As he continued speaking.

Lin Yan suddenly asked, "Does your restaurant engage in any fraudulent practices?"

The servant’s face changed drastically, and he hastily waved his hands, saying, "The Demon Suppression Department regularly conducts inspections. Swapping out genuine Incense Fire Spirit Pills or dividing a single pill for multiple uses is indeed a crime punishable by death..."

"Alright, you may leave now."

Lin Yan waved his hand dismissively, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp.

He turned to Little White Ape and remarked, "Why is it that other enchanted monkeys can instinctively seek out medicinal materials to enhance their bloodline and brew Monkey Wine, while all you ever think about is chasing little female monkeys?"

"..."

Little White Ape shrank back, not daring to respond.

Lin Yan scoffed lightly, picked up a piece of demonic meat, and ate it slowly and deliberately.

Moments later, the door swung open.

A burly figure entered, a sword hanging at his waist.

He wore the robes of the Demon Suppression Department, embroidered with a vivid depiction of one flood dragon and two pythons, exuding an aura of authority.

Lin Yan glanced at the man briefly before retracting his gaze, picking up the wine jug, and pouring out a cup of wine, sliding it forward.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Not personally, but the Demon Suppression Department’s attire embroidered with one dragon and two pythons typically belongs to the Supreme Commander overseeing a city."

"You knew I was coming?"

"Your Thousand Households unit, along with over three hundred elite soldiers, were personally slain by me." Lin Yan drained his wine and said, "I imagine the Demon Suppression Department isn’t full of idiots. Since I arrived openly at Holy Dew City, you surely knew! And if you knew, you would definitely come!"

"Being fully aware that entering Holy Dew City means my actions would be known to the Demon Suppression Department, you still brazenly entered the city, as though you have no regard for my authority!"

With an icy tone, the Supreme Commander remarked, "Are you not afraid that I could rally the forces of the entire city and have you surrounded and slain here?"

"Yet, you came alone."

Lin Yan replied coolly, "The Demon Suppression Department hasn’t issued a warrant for my arrest, so I am not a fugitive. Since you did not dispatch forces to hunt me outside the city, you won’t deploy troops to kill me within the city either!"
