The river breeze blows and the reeds sway.

On the rippling river surface, a black-sailed fishing boat slowly floated over and docked at the river bank.

This fishing boat was the same boat that Li Daoxuan had come on. Li Hongxiu was still restrained and thrown into the cabin.

She was badly hurt at this time.

Blood flowed out and gathered into a mirror-like pool under his body.

Only the extremely slight gasp proved that she was still alive.

The girl struggled to raise her head, her face was a mess of blood and flesh. In her bloodshot vision, the figures of Su Heng and Li Daoxuan were vaguely visible.

She suddenly broke down and burst into tears.

"Kill me..." The girl sobbed softly, with despair in her voice.

"Such vitality is quite tenacious." Su Heng's face showed no sympathy, but he was surprised and said, "You deliberately spared her life, it seems that you have other ideas."

"Yes." Li Daoxuan nodded. "She should be a member of the Heavenly Demon Alliance. She is imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower. Perhaps we can dig out some useful information."

"Another point is..."

Li Daoxuan paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "Do you know how many categories demons can be roughly divided into?"

Su Heng was stunned, then shook his head, "I don't know, Su Li never told me these things."

"That's normal. These things are considered confidential even in the Demon Suppression Division." Li Daoxuan smiled, "However, if you join the Demon Suppression Division, you will be guarding the Demon Suppression Tower. Your status is equivalent to that of a deputy commander, second only to me. It's okay to tell you these in advance."

"Tell me about it." Su Heng asked with curiosity.

"Demons can be roughly divided into five different categories: demons, spirits, ghosts, monsters, and devils."

Li Daoxuan stared at the sparkling river in front of him. "When the power of Changshengtian descends on livestock and animals, it becomes a demon; when it descends on plants, it becomes a spirit. Similarly, ghosts correspond to souls that have not dissipated, and monsters correspond to inanimate objects, which are the most special."

"What about demons? What do demons correspond to?"

"The devil is a human warrior who lost control and went crazy after fusing with the corpse of a demon." Li Daoxuan said with a smile.

"Can't the power of Changshengtian be directly bestowed upon humans? Also, what is Changshengtian?" Su Heng continued to ask.

"We have never seen an example of Changshengtian descending directly on humans, but we can't say for sure." Li Daoxuan said slowly, "As for Changshengtian, it is the source of all the strange powers in the world. Some people say that Changshengtian is the residence of gods, while others say that Changshengtian is the purgatory of the devil that imprisoned the devil."

"Eternal Heaven, immortality, these two words can explain a lot."

Seeing Su Heng frowning and thinking.

Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry. He waited for him to digest it slowly before speaking again, "Do you know why demons must eat humans?"

"In order to... obtain nutrients and sustain itself?" Su Heng asked uncertainly.

He had thought about this matter seriously before.

obviously.

Su Heng did not come up with a definite answer from his own thinking.

"If it's just for the sake of obtaining nutrients, demons can hunt animals, or even use slash-and-burn farming to cultivate the land. It's not impossible for them to live in harmony with humans," Li Daoxuan replied.

"What is it for?" Su Heng asked in surprise.

"Extreme emotions." Li Daoxuan paused for a moment, then explained, "There has always been a saying that humans are unawakened demons. Do you know why?"

Su Heng shook his head.

"That's because humans have always had some kind of connection with Changshengtian since birth."

Li Daoxuan said, "When people's emotions become extreme, this connection becomes more obvious. The fear of death is undoubtedly the most extreme of all emotions, and it is also the easiest to obtain. The demons kill humans to gain nutrients only in the second place. The real goal is to gain more power from Changshengtian."

"Is that so?" Su Heng picked up a stone and threw it at Li Hongxiu in the fishing boat.

Li Hongxiu just kept crying and didn't say anything.

"In fact, most demons don't know why they kill people," Li Daoxuan said. "They just know that they can gain benefits by killing and eating people, and then it gradually becomes a habit and eventually an addiction."

"What does this have to do with you saving her life?" Su Heng was surprised.

"There are four categories of fairies, ghosts and monsters. Fairies are the most numerous, followed by fairies, then ghosts, and monsters are the least numerous."

Li Daoxuan replied, "I have never encountered a truly bizarre monster in over a hundred years, and evil spirits are rare. This girl is possessed by an evil spirit."

"I don't think she's that great." Su Heng didn't care.

"Indeed, the rarer the creature is, the stronger it is. But generally speaking, its ability will become more bizarre." Li Daoxuan explained with a smile, "You can think back to what happened recently."

"It seems to make sense..."

That day in the Red Mansion, Li Hongxiu was right in front of him, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

Although the subsequent attack was not a big threat, it was also for Su Heng. If he had not found clues from Chen Murong, Su Heng might not have been able to confirm the location of the demon in a short time.

"However, this is your prey. You have the final say on how to deal with it." Li Daoxuan said with a smile, "I just said that just to deliberately irritate you and see what your true strength is. I hope you can forgive me if I offend you."

"I know." Su Heng nodded.

Although he was a little unhappy, he could sense from beginning to end that Li Daoxuan had no intention of killing.

"If you are willing to put it in the Demon Suppression Tower, I will compensate you." Li Daoxuan said, "Also, you should be aware that the evil spirit has value except for its corpse, but its flesh and blood has limited stimulation to the alienated tissue, so it can only be equivalent to a demon servant."

"Okay." Su Heng said, "Anyway, the Demon Suppression Tower will be under my control by then, so I have the final say on how to deal with it."

"Well, that's good." Li Daoxuan laughed twice. Li Hongxiu had been listening to the conversation between the two.

After hearing this, the light that had finally lit up in his eyes dimmed in an instant.

The two were silent for a while, and Li Daoxuan said slowly, "I have no problem with you joining the Demon Suppression Division and controlling the Demon Suppression Tower. But by then, some other people in the Demon Suppression Division may object, and a fight is inevitable in the end."

“You have to be prepared for conflict.”

"It seems that the people under you are also beginning to become restless." Su Heng said calmly.

"The repercussions of Changshengtian are becoming more and more profound, and more and more demons are descending upon this world." Li Daoxuan did not deny it. "The current situation is bound to be impacted. Only those who can truly survive the great waves can be considered strong."

"Do I need to hold back?" Su Heng asked.

"No need," Li Daoxuan said, "Since those people have the ambition to extend their claws, they must be prepared to have their hands and feet chopped off."

"Are you used to living in Jiangyue Pavilion? If not, you can move to the Demon Suppression Division."

Li Daoxuan added, "Your sister is here too."

"Su Li... forget it, I won't bother her." Su Heng shook his head. "Jiang Yue Pavilion has a nice view and is quite comfortable to stay in. I don't plan to change seats for the time being."

"That's fine," Li Daoxuan nodded, "I'll send the things to you as soon as possible."

"There are still about ten days until the selection of deputy governors, so be prepared in advance."

Su Heng waved at him and left gracefully.

"It's great to be young." Li Daoxuan watched Su Heng walk away and turn into a black dot. His eyes were empty and he couldn't help but sigh.

……

……

……

Not long after Su Heng returned to Jiangyue Pavilion, the people sent by Li Daoxuan arrived.

More than three hundred kilograms of demon flesh and blood were sealed in a jar to lock in nutrients and placed in a corner of Su Heng's house.

In addition, there are various elixirs to assist in spiritual practice, precious medicinal wines, and so on.

Then there are the other two secret techniques of the Eight Phases of Tyrant Dragon, namely Ice Phantom and Miniature Storm Power.

These two techniques.

In addition, the Qingmu Changsheng Gong that Su Heng had practiced before was a secret technique that could be practiced during the bone-forging stage.

As for the other five doors, they can only be effective in the flesh-refining stage.

Su Heng took the time to look through the two martial arts, "Ice Phantom" and "Miniature Mist", compared to the simple booklets that Su Li had given him before.

The two books in Su Heng's hands were also rubbings.

But it contains a complete picture of artistic conception and is of very high value. It is a true skill that can be fully cultivated to perfection.

"only……"

Su Heng frowned and whispered, "Among the three skills, the Qingmu Changsheng skill corresponds to wood, while the other two skills correspond to water and gold respectively. It should be in line with the meaning of the five elements, but the only two related skills are missing, fire and earth. Why is this?"

He didn't think that Li Daoxuan was deliberately hiding something.

It's not necessary.

Moreover, the Eight Phases of Tyrant Dragon's Secret Technique is well-known, so it must have had some flaws from the beginning of its design.

Just with the incomplete Eight Phase Secret Technique, one can comprehend such a peerless martial art as the Demon Ape Transformation. If the Eight Phase Secret Technique could be completed, how powerful would it be?

However, this is bound to be extremely difficult.

After all, the original designer of this real skill failed to do it and left it with flaws.

"With the attribute panel, it's not impossible." Su Heng thought in his heart, "However, the most urgent task is to improve the Taotie method first."

The Taotie method can increase the speed of obtaining attribute points and strengthen the root bones.

And now...

Su Heng has already stepped into the Demon Suppression Division and holds great power. The only possibility of causing an accident is those scoundrels who covet the Demon Suppression Tower.

This group of people were just a bit of a nuisance to Su Heng, but they posed no threat.

With an unlimited supply of demon flesh and blood.

The only thing that limits Su Heng is the speed of obtaining attribute points.

Therefore, the Taotie method, which can directly increase the rate of acquiring attribute points, has always been the top priority for Su Heng.

In the next few days, Su Heng devoted himself to cultivation.

The large amount of demon flesh and blood provided by the Demon Suppression Bureau allowed Su Heng to obtain about thirty attribute points every day.

at last……

Five days later, Su Heng had mastered the Taotie technique to perfection.
