I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 108 The most common lie every man tells

What is destiny?

It is destined by God and the will of heaven.

This is what Ning Shuqi had always believed, and the speed at which he improved in his practice was indeed worthy of the title of "Child of Destiny".

Because up to now, he has never encountered any bottleneck in his cultivation.

The smooth progress of his cultivation skills improvement was beyond his imagination.

In the past, he did not rely on many external objects for his cultivation, but only on one or two pills given by his uncle occasionally. When he was sixteen years old, he had cultivated his cultivation skills to the level of sixteen years.

Therefore, he only felt a little good about his cultivation talent. After all, as the son of Ning Tiancheng, the master of the Fire Scale Sword, it was only natural for him to have this cultivation talent.

However, after obtaining more resources from his master "Tao Jun", Ning Shuqi felt completely different.

This practice is like having divine help.

Long Zhangyuan had relied on the resources of Tujian Mountain to cultivate for sixty years. He started later than Long Zhangyuan, but now he has also cultivated forty years.

This level of cultivation skill is not very high, but looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation, it is enough to be called a big shot.

Therefore, Ning Shuqi also began to feel proud and satisfied.

But whether it is Long Zhangyuan or himself, once compared with Tan Shuchang, they really don't even have the qualifications for a detailed comparison.

The first time they met, he still had a little strength left to face Tan Shuchang's sudden attack. But this time, facing Tan Shuchang, he couldn't even think of attacking him.

There is only immense frustration.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, are you okay?" At this time, a soft female voice came.

This is Li Ahuang.

The eldest daughter of the Li family, a large family in Yanzhou.

After all, a family that could invite Fairy Poetry and that Fairy Poetry was willing to attend the banquet could not be just a small force.

Li Ahuang originally had the character of a willful young lady, but after meeting Ning Shuqi, this character was naturally suppressed all of a sudden and she began to become gentle.

"I'm fine." Ning Shuqi was stunned when he heard this, then immediately shook his head and said the most common lie that all men tell in their lives.

"But why do I see that you have been distracted since Demon Lord Tan left?" Li Ahuang couldn't help but ask.

"Demon Lord Tan?" When Ning Shuqi heard Li Ahuang say this, he felt a surge of anger for no reason. This anger came and went quickly, which made Ning Shuqi confused.

At this moment, when Li Ahuang heard Ning Shuqi say this, he thought that Ning Shuqi didn't know, because in Ning Shuqi's previous self-introduction, he had been practicing in seclusion with his master.

"The two true disciples of Shangqing Temple and Xituo Mountain have confirmed that Tan Shuchang is the contemporary leader of the Demon Sect. Therefore, everyone calls Tan Shuchang "Demon Lord Tan." Li Ahuang explained.

Tujian Mountain, Shangqing Temple, and Xituo Mountain, the three top immortal sects, were unable to gain any advantage over the Demon Lord Tan. Therefore, even local big families like the Li family did not dare to act rashly when facing Tan Shuchang.

Although Li Ahuang has a willful and capricious personality, he also knows the pros and cons. Therefore, even without the care of his family, he would consciously change his name to "Demon Lord Tan".

This world will always respect the strong.

"He's not even twenty years old yet..." Ning Shuqi said dimly. Tan Shuchang's age in both of his previous lives was naturally much older than that, and he was already considered half an old man. However, in the eyes of the people in the Jiawu Realm, Tan was not even twenty years old yet.

"Yeah, I don't know how this Demon Lord Tan practiced..." In fact, there are other speculations within Li Ahuang's family. After all, the Yanzhou Li family is also a family with a long heritage and has close ties with Luojia Mountain. But as a legitimate daughter, Li Ahuang naturally knows what she can say and what she cannot say.

Therefore, even when facing her lover, she did not tell the truth at this time.

At this moment, Ning Shuqi, who heard what Li Ahuang said, felt inexplicably angry in his heart, and at the same time, he inexplicably had a bloodthirsty impulse.

Demonic species!

……

"Eh? Who is so suitable for my demon species and can make it grow stronger so quickly?"

Tan Shuchang, who was walking away with his sword, suddenly stopped.

Then he turned around and looked subconsciously.

In Tan Shuchang's opinion, this demon seed is actually not very useful. After all, it just keeps amplifying some small emotions in people's hearts.

If a person has self-control, even if a demon seed is planted in him, he can slowly eliminate it on his own.

Even if your self-control is too weak, it is fine as long as you can abide by the precepts.

The purpose of establishing some of the precepts of spiritual practice sects was to restrain methods like those of demons.

Although there were cultivators who had their demon seeds planted in them and then grew stronger due to the demonic power of Tan Shuchang in the past, this was the first time that Tan Shuchang had encountered a demon seed that had grown stronger right after it was planted.

So, out of curiosity, even though this thing was useless, Tan Shuchang couldn't help but want to take a look at it.

At this time, although Tan Shuchang had left Yanzhou, Yanzhou was not big. The longest place in the entire Yanzhou was no more than a hundred miles in a straight line. So Tan Shuchang quickly used the vitality of heaven and earth to "see" the other party.

"Is it this second child of destiny?"

Tan Shuchang was surprised.

He hadn't expected that Ning Shuqi was also at the previous banquet. Because the other party's cultivation skills were too low, only a few decades, he was directly ignored by Tan Shuchang.

Seeing that it was this person who strengthened his demon species, Tan Shuchang became interested for a moment.

However, Tan Shuchang did not go to Yanzhou immediately.

Because he thought that the two disciples from Xituo Mountain and Shangqing Temple might go to Yanzhou. Before he was sure that he could resist the two spiritual treasures, Tan Shuchang did not want to put himself in danger.

As expected, Tan Shuchang only waited for half a day, and with the help of the vitality of heaven and earth over there, he "saw" the young man in the Yin-Yang Taoist robe and the little monk Wu Xiu.

"It's really too much."

Tan Shuchang couldn't help but say that if it weren't for the Yin-Yang Lotus Vase and the Vajra King Bracelet, he could beat these two people to a pulp with just one slap from a distance of a hundred miles, and bury them on the spot.

So, Tan Shuchang, who was somewhat depressed, had a thought, and suddenly a book-shaped magical weapon flew out by itself.

It was the spiritual instrument "Book of Notes".

That is the record-keeping instrument.

"Ji Xing Shu Bian" is the name given to this magical instrument by Tan Shuchang.

……

Tan Shuchang has been practicing for four years. November, twenty-fifth.

Destiny is not arranged by heaven and earth, nor is it a false fatalism. It is created by people.

A disciple of Shangqing Temple and a disciple of Xitu Mountain, holding a Yin-Yang Lotus Vase and a Vajra Bracelet, have been searching for me for many days. It seems that they are destined to be with me and they should become my disciples.

……

People who write articles have to be subtle, so they can't just write that these two are destined to be consumables. Therefore, Tan Shu often uses the tradition of the magic sect to refer to them implicitly.

After finishing this diary, Tan Shuchang’s depression was mostly gone.

As for the remaining part, it can only be dispersed after the young man in the Yin-Yang Taoist robe and the young monk Wuxiu from Xitu Mountain enter the magic sect.

Then, Tan Shuchang continued to wait.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had no intention of leaving Yanzhou for three consecutive days. Because after meeting Ning Shuqi, the two of them had a great time with Ning Shuqi and got along very well. So Tan Shuchang had to write another diary.

……

Tan Shuchang has been practicing for four years. November, 28th.

A peaceful mind can cure three thousand diseases, and a calm mind can understand everything.

Can I borrow the psychic sword to kill people?

……

As a result, the next day, the two men were still in Yanzhou, and they were very interested in becoming sworn brothers with Ning Shuqi.

Tan Shuchang had no choice but to continue writing his diary.

……

Tan Shuchang has been practicing for four years. November, twenty-ninth.

The sea presses down on the bamboo branches, which then rise again; the wind blows on the mountain corners, making them dark and bright again.

The "蛋" in "王巴蛋" actually means "端", which refers to loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame. Therefore, the original meaning of "王巴蛋" is to forget the eight virtues.

Two ungrateful bastards!
……

Another day passed, and Tan Shuchang saw that the young man in the Yin-Yang Taoist robe and the young monk Wuxiu from Xitu Mountain finally left Yanzhou, which made him very happy.

So I wrote another diary.

……

Tan Shuchang practiced for four years, on the first day of December.

Stop, look, and follow the wind; walk, stop, and be calm.

Everything will get better, for example, other people's fat will become good fat.

The foundation of a happy life is indeed to have a certain ability to endure boredom.

……

After putting away the spiritual instrument record book, Tan Shuchang stepped on the sword and returned to Yanzhou. At this time, in Tan Shuchang's perception, the demon seed in Ning Shuqi's body did not begin to dissipate because of the pleasant conversation with the two disciples of the big sects. Instead, it grew stronger than a few days ago.

With three hundred and ninety-nine years of practice, Tan Shuchang's current level of cultivation can be described as unparalleled.

The five realms only limit the lifespan of practitioners, but never limit their magical powers.

At the moment, Tan Shuchang was like an immortal god, communicating with the heaven and earth. Everything in the natural world was connected with his aura.

Therefore, even though Tan Shuchang had appeared near Ning Shuqi, this son of destiny did not notice it at all from beginning to end.

And through such observation, Tan Shuchang also understood why this son of destiny was so compatible with the demon species and could grow the demon species to such a level in a short period of time.

It turned out that after being full of confidence and constantly being hit hard, his spirit was almost gone.

In most cases, what people fear most is losing their spirit. Once they lose it, they will have no motivation to move forward, just like the cuckoo bird, just getting by.

So, after thinking about it, Tan Shuchang waited for Ning Shuqi to arrive on the way he was practicing.

"Tan Shuchang?" The technique that Ning Shuqi wanted to practice had to absorb the fire essence of the earth's fire veins, so that the quality of his own practice could be gradually improved, and with the help of various powerful fire essences, he could form a powerful magical power that belonged to him alone.

If such a technique can obtain a fire spirit, it will undoubtedly be able to produce the effect of a fish leaping over the dragon gate. Even if the technique is not advanced to the level of the Heavenly Skills Manual, it will be almost the same.

At this moment, Ning Shuqi, who saw Tan Shuchang, couldn't help but show shock and a little fear.

"It's Brother Ning. Long time no see. How are you?" Tan Shuchang looked at him with a smile and greeted him.

Ning Shuqi's anger resurfaced, but after his expression changed, he only dared to say, "Thank you, Demon Lord Tan, for your concern. I am doing fine."

"Okay? I don't think so." Tan Shuchang raised his hand and lightly pointed in the air, and a black gas rushed out from Ning Shuqi's body.

A human figure can be vaguely seen in this black gas, and his face is similar to Ning Shuqi's.

However, unlike Ning Shuqi's normal expression at this time, the face of this human-shaped black energy was extremely ferocious, full of negative emotions such as jealousy, hatred, and tyranny.

"What is this?" Ning Shuqi was startled.

"This thing is called the Demon Seed. Anyone who sees me not bowing will be planted with the Demon Seed. However, this thing is actually just an insignificant thing. The disciplines and self-control of the immortal sect can wipe out the Demon Seed. Although it also strengthens the Demon Seed, those Demon Seeds have little impact. At least, it's the first time I've seen a demon seed take shape like Fellow Daoist Ning."

Tan Shuchang spoke in detail. His tone was calm and his expression was gentle. Just listening to his voice made people feel peaceful. However, combined with the words he said, it suddenly made people panic.

At least that was what Ning Shuqi felt at the moment. He opened his eyes wide, feeling both terrified and relieved.

What was terrifying was that he had such a terrifying thing in his mind without even realizing it. Fortunately, since Tan Shuchang had pointed it out, he would not just ignore it.

Then, something unexpected happened to Ning Shuqi, because after saying those words, Tan Shuchang was ready to leave.

Seeing that the demon seed was about to return to his body, Ning Shuqi couldn't help but get anxious: "Demon Lord Tan!"

"Brother Ning, is there anything else I can say?" Tan Shuchang asked with a smile.

"Demon Lord Tan, can you help me take away the demon seed?" Ning Shuqi asked anxiously.

"No."

Tan Shuchang shook his head.

"No?" Ning Shuqi felt as if he was about to fall apart, but to be favored by heaven, Ning Shuqi did have some good points besides his overly righteous heart.

"Thank you Demon Lord Tan for your guidance! If I can repay you in the future, I am willing to do something for you that does not go against my conscience." Ning Shuqi quickly calmed down because Tan Shuchang had already told him how to get rid of the demon species.

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang just glanced in a certain direction, and then the blood light around him paved a long bridge, leading him straight into the sky and leaving.

After Tan Shuchang left, a middle-aged monk with a pale face immediately appeared in the direction he had been looking at.

"How are you...?"

When Ning Shuqi saw this middle-aged monk, he instinctively wanted to ask why he was there too, but after thinking about it, he understood his intention, so he asked with some concern in his heart.

After all, Tan Shuchang had said before that anyone who did not bow to him would be planted with the seeds of evil.

"I am fine."

The middle-aged monk waved his hand and explained, "I knelt down just in time."

Ning Shuqi was silent for a moment: "..."

However, the middle-aged cultivator disagreed with this. After all, as a cultivator of the devil sect, kneeling down to the leader of the devil sect was a natural thing to do.

So the middle-aged monk asked, "What are you going to do? Read some Buddhist scriptures or Taoist scriptures?"

"I had a very pleasant chat with two Taoist friends from Shangqing Temple and Xituo Mountain. They invited me to join their sect, but I didn't agree. Before they left, they gave me a token and said that as long as I changed my mind, I could come back anytime." Ning Shuqi said, and took out a token filled with pure and spiritual energy.

To what extent did Shangqing Temple and Xituo Mountain support each other? This can be seen from the fact that the two sects share a token of trust.

Taking out this token at this time represents Ning Shuqi's choice.
