Chapter 1929: Fine wine gets better with age

“Inner Demon Cave? Is it a Heavenly City Fragment related to inner demons?” Song Shuhang quickly put away the book with the ?Buddha’s Giant Palm of Punishment?.

Recently, he had been paying attention to anything related to inner demons.

“It might just have the same pronunciation, and it may not be the kind of inner demon you are thinking about,” said the black Scarlet Heaven Sword. Song Shuhang had become obsessed with getting an inner demon to use as an ingredient, causing it to feel rather anxious.

“Let me try to figure out its origins.” Song Shuhang stretched out his right hand and placed it on the Heavenly City Fragment.

When his hand was halfway to the fragment, he suddenly stopped.

Song Shuhang turned his head and looked back. “Sister White Dragon, do you have any information about this Inner Demon Cave that you can tell me?”

Human beings were intelligent creatures, and they would usually avoid making the same mistake twice

I’ve already been cheated once because I lacked critical information. This time, I will make better use of my resources and won’t make the same mistake!

Sister White Dragon stretched out her small claws and scratched her face. “I honestly don’t have any impression of the Inner Demon Cave. That’s actually quite strange.”

She was the Ancestral Golden Dragon, and she had impressions of all the famous palaces and buildings across the Heavenly City. She felt like her friends should have mentioned such a place at least once if it had existed.

However, she could not remember any places called “Inner Demon Cave.”

But it was certain that this place was a Heavenly City Fragment.

Sister White Dragon guessed, “It’s possible that a member of the Heavenly City secretly created it, or perhaps the fragments of the Ancient Heavenly City were reprocessed after its collapse.”

“I’ll try appraising it then,” Song Shuhang said—although the Heavenly City Fragment that Senior White randomly selected was not the largest piece, it seemed to be very precious and fit right in with Senior White’s type of stuff.

Sister White Dragon said, “Go ahead. I can’t help you this time.”

Song Shuhang took a deep breath and prepared to endure the pain.

His body transformed into smoke, and he stretched out his hand, placing it on the Heavenly City Fragment.

Then, he activated the secret appraisal technique!

“Puff~” Song Shuhang exploded all of a sudden.

Everyone present was stunned.

The price for the appraisal this time was extremely heavy. If Shuhang had not transformed into his smoky form, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“I’m going to die! It hurts so much! Ahhh!” The smoke that had scattered regathered into a human figure.

“I think you push yourself too hard just now,” said the black Scarlet Heaven Sword.?You appraised the Heavenly City Fragment to the extent that you exploded!

Song Shuhang took a deep breath and said, “No, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword. I controlled my body and scattered it myself. I made sure to keep the pain within a tolerable range. The scattering of my smoke body was so that I could relieve the pain, and at the same time forcibly end the secret appraisal technique. Sigh~ This thing has a lot of history. I feel that even if I’m willing to pay a serious price, I would not be able to appraise all of its information.”

Sister White Dragon let out a breath of relief. “Your smoky form is really practical. It feels like a weakened version of ‘eternity’.”

“Haha, with it, I dare to use the secret appraisal technique boldly.” Song Shuhang laughed. But right as he was laughing, the pain crashed onto him like a tsunami, and his laughter became one filled with pain.

Senior White placed his hand on Song Shuhang, a faint light shining from his palm.

“The ?Saber-Nurturing Technique??” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword recognized the light immediately.

It was a great idea, actually.

The price paid by Song Shuhang after performing the secret appraisal technique directly affected his mind and soul.

At the same time, the comfortable and refreshing feeling that was brought by the ?Saber-Nurturing Technique? not only acted on the body, but also on the mind and soul.

Perhaps the ?Saber-Nurturing Technique? could really alleviate the effects of Song Shuhang’s secret appraisal technique.

Of course, the premise was that Song Shuhang could physically receive the ?Saber-Nurturing Technique?.

“Ahhhh~” A cry of absolute pain resounded in the area; there was no trace of comfort in it.

Senior White retracted his palm. “It seems that the ?Saber-Nurturing Technique? doesn’t work on Shuhang’s secret appraisal technique.”

“Hiss~ It’s okay, I can overcome this level of pain very quickly.” Song Shuhang patted his chest and continued, “Pain will only make me stronger and allow my will to grow firmer.”

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “It also depends on the level of pain. I feel that this level of pain could cause other people to collapse directly.”

Sister White Dragon asked, “Did you get any information?”

Song Shuhang said, “Yup. After paying a steep price, I did get something.”

The information from the secret appraisal technique emerged in his mind.

[Inner Demon Cave: In the ancient era, the Heavenly Emperor studied inner demons in this secret laboratory. When the Heavenly City collapsed, the Inner Demon Cave broke into pieces and fell into the mortal world. The research materials on the inner demons that were once inside the Inner Demon Caver were all lost. Other than the Heavenly Emperor, nobody knows of the results of the research conducted in the laboratory...]

And that was everything he got...

As the secret appraisal technique was forcibly interrupted by Song Shuhang himself, the information from the appraisal was incomplete.

Song Shuhang lightly rubbed his smokey head. He continued to stay in his smoke form as he was afraid that the instant he switched back to his actual form, he would fall to the ground and begin writhing from the pain.

Song Shuhang replied, “This was the Heavenly Emperor’s secret laboratory. It was where she used to study inner demons.”

In the ancient era, the Heavenly Emperor had studied inner demons. It was very likely that there had been some results to her research as it could be inferred from Soft Feather.

Not long ago, Soft Feather started thinking of extracting her inner demon and making a clone out of it.

According to Soft Feather’s own words, when she was studying inner demons, she obtained a lot of useful information from her ghost spirit. It was with the information she received that she was able to come up with the Inner Demon Clone Technique.

As her ghost spirit had been forcibly borrowed by the Heavenly Emperor, it meant that the information about inner demons that she received most likely came from the Heavenly Emperor.

Sister White Dragon said, “Hehe, it really is a secret laboratory that the Heavenly Emperor created. Did you get anything else?”

“That’s about everything I was able to get. However, I don’t think this Heavenly City Fragment is that simple.” Song Shuhang chuckled.

He had paid such a steep price for appraising it, so there were definitely more secrets to it if he could appraise it further.

Song Shuhang said, “Maybe there are still inner demons hidden inside. Those aged inner demons would definitely taste great.”

After all, fine wine gets better with age.

“If there are old inner demons inside, I think that it might be you who ends up getting eaten.” On the top of Song Shuhang’s head, there was a seven-meter-long strand of hair that had popped out—Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair.
