In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 223 Divine-grade Senluo Spiritual Root!

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi finally stopped absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy in their dantian was replenished, and it was more than 50% more concentrated than before.

Immediately afterwards, Tai Baiji gave different guidance to the two of them based on their chosen foundation-building techniques.

Su Yuan was naturally self-taught in the Demon-Slaying Scripture.

Therefore, Tai Baiji simply asked a few difficult questions about the technique, and after confirming that Su Yuan could answer them easily and apply them to other situations, there was nothing more to teach him.

"Alright, you can go out and cultivate on your own now."

Tai Baiji waved his hand, signaling Su Yuan to get lost.

But Su Yuan didn't move; instead, he took the initiative to inch closer to the former.

This gave Taibai Baiji a sudden sense of unease:
"What do you mean?"

Su Yuan: "Teacher Taibai, I think it's better if I don't tell you the truth. In any case, my cultivation speed will be much faster if I stay by your side."

Tai Baiji: "..."

Hard! The fist is hard!
You're implying I have demonic energy, aren't you?

Isn't this all your fault?!

I really want to go berserk right now and smash you to death with one punch!
But since he was his own disciple, he couldn't really kill him. Tai Baiji snorted coldly and said no more.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground with a happy smile and officially began to circulate the Demon-Slaying Yuan Scripture.

The moment the Demon-Subduing Scripture was activated, the world in Su Yuan's perception immediately changed.

The demonic energy that could only be seen but not touched has transformed into a power that can be absorbed and utilized, much like spiritual energy.

Tai Baiji and Chen Nuoyi beside him were two enormous sources of demonic energy.

The pure demonic energy emanating from them was to Su Yuan what top-grade spiritual energy was to a cultivator.

Immediately, Su Yuan began to absorb the demonic energy from the two of them.

As the demonic energy flowed into his dantian, the giant tree of flesh and blood formed from the Senluo Spirit Root seemed to come alive, quickly absorbing all the demonic energy.

Then, this demonic energy traveled downwards through the tentacles of the Senluo Spirit Root, undergoing repeated refinement along the way, and finally converged at the very root of the Spirit Root, turning a small area at the bottom of the dantian black.

It's like... a layer of pitch-black soil.

When more and more of this soil accumulates and is used to build a high platform, then Su Yuan's foundation for the Dao will be complete.

However, since Taibai Baiji and Chen Nuoyi had only recently become demons, their demonic energy, though pure, was not very abundant.

After absorbing their demonic energy for more than half an hour, Su Yuan completely drained it.

Without demonic energy, the two appeared no different from ordinary righteous cultivators in the eyes of the Demon-Revealing Eye.

In this light, the Demon-Slaying Scripture may have the effect of temporarily whitewashing demonic cultivators.

This effect may have surprising results in the future.

With these thoughts in mind, Tai Baiji finished instructing Chen Nuoyi.

He immediately saw the guests off, telling them to go back and cultivate and ponder on their own.

I'll come back to him when I'm close to breaking through.

The two left decisively and headed to the newly built, beautifully situated spirit beast breeding base to cultivate.

The breeding base has a training room. Although the environment is not as good as the training grounds in the preparatory class, it is quiet and secluded.

As for the spiritual energy needed for their cultivation, the Great Desire Immortal Puppet is sufficient.

Su Yuan left the cultivation room to Chen Nuoyi, and then timed the end of the workday for all the employees in each department to come to the meeting. At 8 p.m., all 1,200 employees from Yuanshi Dantang, Yuanshi Lianqitang, Yuanshi Media, the Breeding Base, and the Black Labor Corps were present.

They gathered on the vast grassland of the breeding base to report on their work, filled with a great deal of resentment among migrant workers.

Su Yuan didn't even spare the cyber vengeful spirits led by Zhu Qingqing, forcing them to give online work reports.

Thousands of demonic cultivators with cultivation levels no lower than the late stage of Qi Refining gathered together, creating an overwhelming surge of demonic energy.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged on a rockery, listening to the work summaries of his employees while absorbing an immeasurable amount of demonic energy.

Because there was so much demonic energy, Su Yuan absorbed less than one-tenth of the demonic energy from the followers during the nearly one-hour meeting.

Not to mention that as long as the followers are engaged in demonic activities, demonic energy will continue to accumulate, and it will take more than a day to completely absorb it.

However, Su Yuan wasn't in a hurry. After saying a few perfunctory words, he announced the disbandment.

At the same time, the charter was announced, which included daily morning and evening meetings, monthly smaller meetings, and a monthly general meeting.

After the order was announced, the resentment of all employees suddenly increased by at least twenty percent.

Su Yuan could only say...

Yay! The production of the Magic Version of the Heavenly Bead is going to increase again!

For a period of time afterward, Su Yuan strictly followed the Yuan Sect's meeting rules, absorbing demonic energy day and night.

If the demonic energy is about to be completely absorbed, instruct the employees to work overtime to increase the speed at which the demonic energy is accumulated.

Of course there's overtime pay; Su Yuan isn't some kind of devil.

Twelve days later, Su Yuan successfully accumulated 16,000 credits and immediately exchanged them for two attribute-less immortal spiritual roots.

Unfortunately, the amount of spiritual power required for the Senluo Spiritual Root to transform into a Divine Spiritual Root exceeded his and Taibai Baiji's imagination.

Two immortal spiritual roots were used, but there was not a single reaction.

There was no other way but to continue accumulating credits and purchasing spiritual roots.

Su Yuan's unusual act of purchasing a large number of spiritual roots naturally attracted the attention of the other mentors.

Unable to withstand their persistent questioning, Tai Baiji had no choice but to reveal some details about the Senluo Spirit Root.

This inevitably made the other mentors jealous.

Aside from being a bit unconventional, Su Yuan's talent and comprehension are truly exceptional.

That's a talent with divine spiritual roots! Even among the descendants of powerful cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, not every one of them possesses divine spiritual roots!

It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot handle geniuses of this caliber.

But who can blame them when Taibai Tianji is no ordinary person?

Even though all the mentors were Golden Core Doctors from the Ten Great Immortal Sects, Tai Bai Tianji's progress in the Nascent Soul Path was a notch faster than the others.

Who knows, by the time Su Yuan enrolls in school, his cheap teacher might already be a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Now that they knew about the existence of the Senluo Spirit Root, the ten mentors naturally wouldn't go to Kasuyuan to exchange for the Immortal Spirit Root.

Another month later, after Su Yuan added three more immortal spiritual roots to the Senluo Spiritual Root, the giant tree of flesh and blood in his dantian finally underwent a transformation.

This transformation took longer than any previous upgrade of the Senluo Spirit Root.

It took a full half month for the Blood and Flesh Giant Tree to completely shed all its blood and evil aura.

It transformed into a jade tree with a crown and roots of equal size, hollow inside and straight outside, reaching to the sky and connecting to the earth, its entire body resembling red jade.

The jade tree exuded a faint sacred aura, and Su Yuan's dantian was continuously expanded and strengthened under its influence, even faintly taking on the meaning of a small world.

With the divine root and the accumulation of endless demonic energy, Su Yuan was finally able to take the final step towards Foundation Establishment!
