Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Ning Fusang hummed in agreement, without denying it.

It seems best not to use the name Shu Guang next time.

Those who gamble on stones in Fengyunfang are either wealthy and buy stones for fun, or they are crazy gamblers hoping to make a fortune. In either case, it's best not to get involved with them.

She sold the Pure Yang Immortal Gold and the Seven-Colored Immortal Crystal in front of everyone, but the sword pellet and the section of Phoenix Divine Wood with buds were also coveted by countless people.

Especially the latter.

Phoenix Divine Wood can be used to refine pills and weapons, and it is also an excellent material for bows and arrows. Moreover, the demon race's covetousness of Phoenix Divine Wood is no less than that.

When Yang Ruo heard Ning Fusang admit that she was the "Shu Guang" who made a fortune in Fengyunfang, her eyes widened in surprise.

Junior Sister Ning is really amazing.

His talent is astonishing, whether in swordsmanship or in gambling on stones.

Yang Ruo herself also played a few rounds, with both wins and losses, and knew how difficult it was to make a fortune like Ning Fusang.

"Then, Xiao Ning, you can call me Xingzhi."

Yang Ruo was an orphan who was taken in by Gu Pingsheng and therefore had no surname.

The name Xingzhi was given to him by Gu Pingsheng after he came of age, meaning to learn through practice.

Aside from Gu Pingsheng and his senior brother Liang Heng, who would call him that in private, no one else knew these two words.

Ning Fusang didn't ask any further questions, and nodded to indicate that she understood.

The two stayed at an inn.

When the innkeeper saw Ning Fusang, her eyes darted around, and she seemed a little nervous.

What a coincidence!

It was actually that evil star who killed the Sixth Realm Monkey Demon with a single tree branch!
The proprietress had her hair styled in a bun, adorned with a few pretty feathers, and wore a long, thin, brown-yellow tulle dress with black polka dots, accented with a few strands of dark blue.

Judging from her aesthetics and hobbies, her true form is a bamboo partridge, which feeds on the fruits and seeds of plants.

Ning Fusang remembered that bamboo partridges could be used in medicine and had tender and delicious meat. Whether it was human cultivators or demons, there would be quite a few who coveted them.

She so blatantly reveals her true identity; either she's stupid, or she's arrogantly confident in her strength and fearless.

She was actually a female demon who fed on Pinellia ternata year-round, and her flesh and blood were tainted with toxins. In addition, since her cultivation was quite good, she didn't have so many concerns.

Following human custom, the bamboo partridge demon gave herself a name: Xiao Bi.

Pretending not to recognize Ning Fusang, she calmly asked, "Does the guest need a room?"

Ning Fusang tossed the monkey demon core he had just retrieved to the landlady: "How long can this demon core cover the room fee?"

Xiao Bi looked around, then covered the demon core with her sleeve. She felt the demon core burning hot in her palm. She lowered her voice and said, "A sixth-order demon core can last for two years, but since there are two of you, you can only stay for one year."

After saying that, she blinked and thought of a word from the human world, "Is that guest your kept man? If the two of you share a room, you can stay for two years."

Honestly, Xiao Bi would never dare to cheat her in the slightest.

She had already conceded on the price.

Her inn was in a good location and was always fully booked. It also provided food, and no demon ever complained about their stay.

When Yang Ruo heard Xiao Bi call him a pretty boy, his face turned bright red.

How could he possibly be a gigolo!

This succubus, what nonsense is she spouting! She's just using all sorts of gibberish. If she doesn't know how to use a word, she doesn't have to.

For some reason, Yang Ruo glanced guiltily at Ning Fusang. Seeing that she wasn't angry, he finally felt relieved.

He was about to explain when Ning Fusang, who was in front of him, said calmly, "He is my younger brother."

She is indeed a few months older than Yang Ruo.

In terms of maturity, she was more than a few months more mature than Yang Ruo.

Xiao Bi awkwardly touched her hand. "Oh, is that so? I was mistaken. I hope you won't be angry."

She secretly pondered that this female fiend was using spiritual power; she was probably a plant spirit that had transformed into human form.

But do plants have brothers and sisters?

Or is the female demon actually an animal that has become a demon, and is simply cultivating spiritual power?

Could it be that cultivating spiritual power makes one stronger? It seems that human cultivators cultivate spiritual power, and their realm advancement is much faster than that of demons.

Xiao Bi simply felt that humans have always been cunning and resourceful, and when they choose a cultivation method, they will definitely choose the best one.

She was even considering switching to cultivating spiritual power.

However, when Xiao Bi thought about how the people on the throne all cultivated demonic power, she felt that something was not quite right.

She shook her head, trying to clear these jumbled thoughts from her mind.

She would be reluctant to give up her current profound demonic power.

Xiao Bi handed the keys to Yang Ruo and Ning Fusang, smiling, "If you have any other instructions or needs, please feel free to let me know."

Yang Ruo felt flattered and thought to herself, "The demons in the demon realm don't seem to be very fierce and evil."

He went upstairs and saw a wooden sign at the top of the stairs that read, "Eating customers is prohibited in this establishment."

Yang Ruo: ? ? ?
What does it mean to prohibit guests from eating?
He tugged at Ning Fusang's sleeve, gesturing for her to look at the wooden plaque.

Ning Fusang smiled slowly and said, "It means exactly what it says."

Seeing that Yang Ruo didn't react, Ning Fusang directly explained to him through telepathy: "Senior Brother Yang Ruo should know that most demons cultivate the Food Path as a supplement. The so-called Food Path is a method to improve one's cultivation by eating demonic beasts, spiritual herbs, and other highly nourishing foods."

"The flesh and blood of the demon race also contain demonic power, which is a great tonic for them. Usually, when a demon kills another demon, they will eat its flesh and blood to replenish themselves."

"Furthermore, there is a natural food chain among demonic beasts and plants. For example, rabbit demons eat grass, and foxes hunt rabbits. It is a chain that is interconnected. Even if it is not for the sake of cultivation, this instinct is difficult for ordinary demons to control unless they are powerful demons with very high cultivation."

Now that things have come to this point, Ning Fusang's bright eyes flickered, and she said meaningfully, "Demons also eat people. Senior Brother Yang Ruo, you must keep your identity a secret and not expose yourself."

Yang Ruo knew all this, but she still couldn't help but swallow.

He first followed Ning Fusang to her room to discuss the search for Chi Leng.

"In the message that Senior Brother Chi sent to the sect, he said that he would leave marks along the way. We can find him as long as we follow the marks that Senior Brother Chi made."

"Also, here is a map of the demon realm, Junior Sister Ning. I'll make a copy, but you should keep the original. There are a few key marked areas that are the territory of the Demon King, which are extremely dangerous. You must not venture too far in."

"If the trail goes cold, don't go looking for it. The sect will send someone else over."

Ning Fusang actually has a map of the demon realm from the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, but that was from several hundred years ago. He doesn't know if there have been any major changes to the current map of the demon realm, so the two maps may differ.

She spread out the bamboo paper, took the pen from Yang Ruo's hand, and said, "I'll copy the map; you take the original, senior brother."
