Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 102 Longevity Elixir Gathering, Luo Qianqiu's Heavenly Demon Token (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe~)

"Why is there so much blood?"

The pungent, stench of blood seemed to cling to her nostrils, and cries of agony and pleas for mercy filled the air. Qianyun felt a chill run through her body and her heart pounded with panic.

A dark mist filled the surroundings, and the icy blood reached her feet. Her calves went weak, and her true energy was exhausted. All she could see were her fellow disciples from the Immortal Water Abode, who were filled with terror and fear. The chilling killing intent had long since overwhelmed their minds.

"Such heavy demonic power, this malevolent aura, is it the Heart Demon Temple?"

"It's over. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. If those lewd monks succeed, we might as well die at the hands of the Four Sects."

The disciples of Xianshuiju choked with sobs and wept bitterly, while Qianyun's lips trembled as she murmured softly.

She wanted to call on her fellow disciples to form a defensive formation, but faced with the biting, chilling aura, she couldn't muster any strength. Her pretty face fell, and she shook her head in despair.

Such a dense, tangible aura of malevolence, enough to send chills down her spine, could not possibly be the work of the demonic monks of the Heart Demon Temple.

"They are definitely not affiliated with any demonic sect. They are probably orthodox demonic cultivators from the three major demonic sects."

The black mist churned, obstructing Qianyun's vision and making it difficult for her to see clearly. She could only vaguely sense that the life force of the four sect disciples was rapidly fading away.

Their methods were swift and brutal, slaughtering indiscriminately, leaving no trace of souls in their wake.

It must be the main lineage of one of the three major demonic sects. She had also fought against the demonic monks of the Heart Demon Temple, and the enemy before her was far superior to those demonic monks.

She couldn't help but think of Senior Brother Yun Che, the beloved senior brother in the sect who died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators.

Fairy Ruoxue had personally issued an edict to collect clues about this fiend, but unexpectedly, this person appeared in the Yimu Secret Realm.

"Click-clack. Creak."

After a while, the wailing and crying gradually stopped, and the dull footsteps, splashing through the water, gradually approached.

Qianyun's face trembled, and she could only suppress the sobs in her throat by tightly covering her lips with her hands. In her perception, the life force of the four sect disciples had been completely extinguished, and only the owner of the footsteps and their group of lambs to the slaughter remained on the entire third floor.

"This fiend is a legitimate demonic cultivator of the Heavenly Demon Sect. We must commit suicide immediately, or we will be captured by the Soul Banner and unable to die."

Qianyun's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. The disciples also desperately raised their swords, only to find that their meridians had long been eroded by the Yin Mist, and they could not use any strength. They were all terrified, covered their faces and cried bitterly, on the verge of collapse.

"It's over."

The footsteps drew closer, and the thick, inky fog seemed to sense its owner and gradually dissipated.

Qianyun's pretty face was tense, her beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and she held her breath as she watched the figure gradually appear in the mist. Her shoulders trembled like a leaf.

Her more than twenty years of Taoist practice are coming to an end today.

"Fairy Qianyun?"

"Fellow Daoist Luo Luo?"

Luo Fanchen looked calm. He had changed into a clean, light blue Daoist robe. His long hair reached his waist, and his Yi Wood True Essence flowed through his body. He was both unrestrained and elegant, and exuded a strong sense of righteousness. Just by standing there, the surrounding gloomy mist receded on its own.

Qianyun's lips trembled, and the disciples of Xianshui Residence seemed to be still in a daze.

Why is it Luo Fanchen? Where is the demonic cultivator?

With a gentle smile on his lips, Luo Fanchen waved his sleeves lightly, and with a surge of powerful true energy, he dispelled the gloomy mist of the soul banners throughout the secret realm. He then took out more than ten pills and distributed them to the trembling disciples of the Immortal Water Abode.

"I was gathering spiritual herbs on the second floor when I happened to encounter a disciple of the Immortal Water Abode who had escaped. Hearing that the fairy was in trouble, I came to help."

"The second floor?"

Qianyun murmured softly, her beautiful eyes hesitant, wisely refraining from asking further questions.

To everyone's surprise, the disciple beside him was the quickest to ask, "Weren't there over forty demonic monks surrounding the second floor? How did you get to the third floor, fellow Daoist?"

Qianyun trembled all over, turned her head to the side in disbelief, wishing she could kill that disciple with a single sword stroke.

How dare you? How dare you ask that? If Luo Fanchen is truly a demonic cultivator, this one sentence could end their lives.

"A demonic monk? Such a wicked and evil cultivator should naturally be exterminated."

Luo Fanchen explained patiently, without a trace of annoyance in his expression.

He took out the identity tokens of more than forty demonic monks from his storage bag to prove that what he said was true, and sighed, "These demonic cultivators are quite capable, which has delayed us a bit."

"Otherwise, we might have been able to speed things up a bit, so that the demonic cultivator wouldn't have escaped and the fairy wouldn't have been frightened."

Luo Fanchen gently comforted her, and Qianyun looked at the demon monk's keepsake with disbelief in her beautiful eyes.

One person killed over forty demonic cultivators and still had the strength to go deep into the third level to rescue them? Are you kidding me? Are you some kind of orthodox Xuanmen sect member?

"It's not too late. Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Your kindness is like a second life for us. We will remember it forever."

Qianyun breathed heavily, her tense shoulders relaxing slightly. In any case, it seemed that her life had been saved.

She forced a smile onto her stiff face, shakily stood up, leaning against the rock wall, wanting to bow and express her gratitude, but out of the corner of her eye she saw the blood river of severed limbs behind Luo Fanchen, and her legs went weak, causing her to fall back to the ground.

Countless corpses lay scattered, their cooled blood flowing into a small river. Densely packed limbs floated in the bloody water. The intense visual impact caused many disciples of the Immortal Water Abode to turn pale and cover their mouths, vomiting.

Luo Fanchen glanced around at everyone, his eyes narrowing, a meaningful look in his eyes.

"When I arrived, the cultivators from the four sects had already been wiped out by the demonic cultivators. This fiend has some skills. I barely managed to repel him, and I was already exhausted."

"You can repel the demonic cultivators from the main branch of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

The cultivators from Xianshui Residence looked at each other, wanting to ask more questions, but Qianyun glared at them angrily.

She quickly took out a storage bag from her bosom, and together with her fellow disciples, packed up all the valuable treasures and presented them to Luo Fanchen with both hands.

"Lord Luo vanquished demons and upheld justice, single-handedly annihilating the evil monks, and tirelessly traveled to the third level to save our lives. We have no way to repay you."

"This gift is a token of our goodwill. Please accept it, sir. In the future, if you ever need anything, our Immortal Water Abode will be willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."

Qianyun lowered her head, her breathing was cold and rapid, and her trembling voice carried a hint of pleading.

"Fairy Ruoxue once said that if we encounter danger, we can seek help from you, sir. Now that we have been saved by you, sir, we are truly fortunate."

"Of course, I am, after all, a disciple of Fairy Ruoxue. I will naturally lend a helping hand when a fellow traveler is in trouble."

Luo Fanchen sized up Qianyun for a moment before finally taking the storage bag from her. He liked smart people who knew how to seize opportunities.

Seeing Luo Fanchen take the storage bag, Qianyun felt as if she had been granted a pardon, her back already soaked with cold sweat.

She grasped Luo Fanchen's sleeve with her delicate hand and said sincerely, "You are the greatest contributor to this secret realm. If it weren't for you killing the demon monks and forcing back the demonic cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect, we would have all perished."

"If we can return safely, we will surely ask Fairy Ruoxue for credit on your behalf."

Qianyun pleaded earnestly, her words utterly humble.

She was well aware of their situation. If the Qinghe Sect, a friendly sect, could turn its back on them, what chance did Luo Fanchen, a rogue cultivator with whom she had little connection, have? The other side possessed absolute martial prowess and could easily crush them.

Even if Luo Fanchen were truly a demonic cultivator, they would still portray him as a righteous being.

"Hehe, you flatter me, fairy. It was nothing at all."

The cold glint in Luo Fanchen's eyes subsided, and his demeanor became as calm as still water.

He exchanged a few pleasantries with Qianyun, comforting her while secretly calling out to Qiuyun to dispel the illusion array at the entrance to the third level. Only after the disciples of Xianshuiju had recovered some of their strength did he speak slowly.

"There's no need for such fuss, but there is indeed something I need your help with."

"My lord, please give your orders."

Qianyun's expression changed slightly, but she forced a smile.

"I intend to go to the core of the third level to seek opportunities and track down that demonic cultivator. This journey will likely take quite some time."

"The spiritual materials and mineral treasures on the second and third floors"

Luo Fanchen's words were pointed, and Qianyun immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Since you are pursuing the demonic cultivators, our lives are at your disposal. We will help you take the top spot on the trial list. There is still a long time in the secret realm. My Immortal Water Residence is willing to collect spiritual materials for you."

"Very well, I'll accept it without hesitation."

Luo Fanchen was quite satisfied; he enjoyed talking to intelligent people.

"We can't let you work for nothing, so let's split it 70/30."

After some deliberation, Luo Fanchen decided that taking 30% of the shares by himself would be enough for him to rank first. He could then ask Ming Ruoxue for another Luoshen Pill.

He had long prepared a plan to hunt down Liu Xia, and deliberately used his overflowing true energy and the Awakening of Insects to maintain a weakened state, making it easier to lure this wicked woman into a trap. At the crucial moment, he could take a precious pill to quickly restore his fighting strength and ruthlessly outmaneuver her.

"Seventy-three? Yes. We thank you for your mercy, sir."

Qianyun finally felt completely relieved, realizing that she had been overthinking things and that this person was probably not a demonic cultivator.

Despite having overwhelming military power and having been saved by their lives, the man was still willing to give them 30%. He is truly kind-hearted.

If they were demonic cultivators, they would have already used their blood to refine pills.

"Except for Ling Leng, all the demonic cultivators in the secret realm have been killed by me. You can now focus on healing your wounds."

"My lord Kamui."

Qianyun was very careful, only daring to look at the tips of Luo Fanchen's shoes.

Is Ling Leng the demonic cultivator lurking among them? That sounds familiar; I seem to have heard disciples of the Yi Mu Sect mention him before.

Luo Fanchen suppressed his murderous intent, gave a few more words of advice, and both sides were delighted.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Luo Fanchen rested briefly and, with Qianyun's respectful farewell, continued his journey down the spiritual vein towards its core.

"Autumn Charm".

"Uncle Luo, I'm here."

After traveling for a while, Luo Fanchen stopped and weighed his options, saying, "Go and follow Immortal Water Residence. If there are any unusual movements, you can refine them directly."

Feeling an unbearable burning sensation in his chest, Luo Fanchen's fingertips caressed the green glowing patterns on his chest, where the four essence stones trembled incessantly.

He could sense that the essence of the fifth Immortal Longevity Pill was suppressed in the core of the secret realm. Once he collected all the Immortal Longevity Pills, he would surely gain a favor from Ming Ruoxue.

"Uncle Luo, I want to follow you. If it's Xianshui Residence, I can send a vengeful ghost."

Autumn Charm coalesced into her soul, her delicate body embracing Luo Fanchen from behind, her fair forehead resting against his back, gently caressing him.

Luo Fanchen gripped Qiu Yun's delicate hand around his waist, slowly turned around, and half-pulled, half-led her into his arms. He rested his chin on her black hair, sniffed it gently, and said with pity in his eyes, "I'll only feel at ease if you go yourself."

With the faint sweet scent of lavender lingering around his nose, Luo Fanchen's murderous intent lessened slightly, and he gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

"Then I'll listen to Uncle Luo."

Qiu Yun murmured softly. Lately, Uncle Luo seemed to be deliberately trying to get closer to her and showing her extra pity.

Her watery eyes lowered, and she timidly kissed Uncle Luo's cheek lightly. Then, shyly, she transformed into a wisp of green smoke, and used the Soul Banner to take shape and chase after the disciples of Immortal Water Residence.

"call--"

Luo Fanchen rubbed his cheek with his fingertips, and the sweet, moist breath of the girl seemed to still linger on his nose.

The Immortal Longevity Pill was, after all, an opportunity left behind by Luo Qianqiu. Given the cunning of this scoundrel, there was a high probability that he would leave behind a backup plan. He was afraid that Qiu Yun would encounter misfortune, so he dared not let the girl follow him.

"If I'm alone, and something unexpected happens, I can use the wooden sign to confront her, at least my life won't be in danger."

Luo Fanchen murmured, the mark on his chest burning more intensely, seemingly urging him to move forward.

He hurriedly swallowed a few Qi Condensation Pills and, before he could become weak, quickly fled downwards along the spiritual veins.

Along the way, the giant trees had intertwined roots, and the spiritual veins gradually dimmed. Dense dark green array patterns extended downwards from within. Luo Fanchen stopped to observe, but the array patterns were of a very high level, and he could not understand their intricacies.

“Something’s wrong”

Luo Fanchen stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed.

He took out the token, lowered his body, and felt that the array patterns on the spiritual vein were quite familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

A spirit ship? No, the seventh floor? It looks somewhat similar, is it a spatial array?
“No, spatial arrays are extremely complex and require a massive amount of spiritual energy to support them. They are also very easy to expose. It’s impossible that Ming Ruoxue didn’t notice them.”

Luo Fanchen continued walking slowly downwards, his eyes filled with confusion.

The array pattern does resemble spatial arrays in some ways, but it is too ostentatious, covering almost the entire bottom of the third floor.

If it was Luo Qianqiu who did it, Ming Ruoxue should have noticed it long ago.

unless
"Control the evil spirits!"

Luo Fanchen made a hand gesture with the Hai Water Seal, summoning several fierce ghosts and letting them possess his body, so he could observe from the ghosts' perspective.

These array patterns cannot be perceived or observed without the perspective of a ghost or an outsider.

"Is it because of this mark that I can see it?"

Luo Fanchen rubbed the burning Yi Wood imprint on his chest and slowly poured in his true essence. Thus, from the ghost's perspective, the array patterns that had disappeared quickly reappeared. These array patterns were clearly using the power of rules.

"Third-order array. The energy supplied by the space type is..."

Luo Fanchen slowly lowered his head, staring at the spiritual vein beneath his feet, his heart pounding like a drum.

These array patterns are engraved on the spiritual veins. Even if the spiritual essence is completely lost, it can still be barely activated using the foundation of the secret realm.

"Luo Qianqiu's wicked intentions have not been repented."

Luo Fanchen pursed his lips and sighed. This Yimu Secret Realm was not some legacy, but clearly a contingency plan left by Luo Qianqiu.

Using this array pattern, this person can teleport back to the three sects' territories at any time.

"The legacy of a demoness? Heh."

Luo Fanchen scoffed. He didn't need to guess to know that this spiritual vein was a one-way passage.

He tried to walk back, but no matter which direction he went, he was heading towards the core of the secret realm, as if he were in a maze.

"As expected, they had a backup plan. Luckily, they didn't bring Qiuyun with them."

Luo Fanchen thought to himself, "Just as I thought." He took out the wooden plaque from his storage bag, gripped it tightly in his hand, and calmly continued downwards.

Now that things have come to this, let's see what tricks Luo Qianqiu has up his sleeve this time. This Immortal Longevity Pill is related to Mo Xue and Rong Cuo, and he must get it. As for Luo Qianqiu, he has never underestimated him in the slightest.

The rebellious witch who had grown up was far beyond his ability to deal with, but she was also wary of the wooden plaque in his hand.

Even a madman couldn't possibly perish together with someone at the late Core Formation stage who was only at the Qi Refining stage.

Luo Qianqiu has good taste.

After walking for a while, a dark, miasma filled the air before them, and the two accompanying evil spirits turned to ashes the moment they touched.

A bottomless abyss lies before you, and a miasma shrouds your back; you've reached a dead end.

"buzzing"

Luo Fanchen's storage bag trembled incessantly, and the broken soul-summoning bell broke out of the bag on its own.

It slowly floated in the air, seemingly resonating with something. Luo Fanchen's chest trembled slightly, and four essences transformed into streams of light that shot out from his chest and entered the Soul Bell. The light shone brightly, pulling him slowly forward.

Beneath his feet lay a bottomless abyss, yet guided by the Soul Bell, Luo Fanchen traversed the void.

The surrounding space was chaotic, spiritual energy was almost non-existent, and miasma permeated the air, but he remained unaffected.

"Was the Soul-Summoning Bell also Luo Qianqiu's doing?"

Luo Fanchen cursed the witch inwardly for her cunning. To reach this place, the mark, the true essence body, and the soul-summoning bell were all indispensable.

Luo Qianqiu laid out three layers of protection, all so that he could reach the core.

After a short while, the view suddenly opened up before them: an endless plain, half of which was teeming with life, with tender grass sprouting, while the other half was barren and desolate. In the very center, at the end of countless array patterns, a jade pearl slowly floated.

"Longevity Elixir Essence."

The Xuanzhu was full of life, its surface covered with dark gray twisted magic patterns. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the missing pendant of the Soul-Summoning Bell.

"The method of inheritance... is not a slave lineage?"

Luo Fanchen's pupils dilated slightly as he stared incredulously at the Xuanzhu before him.

He had seen similar magical runes on the Soul Banner Inheritance Jade Slip. This Soul Summoning Bell was a magical treasure passed down through the main lineage of the Three Corpses Sect.

"Jingle Bell--"

The Soul Bell trembled slightly, and under the guidance of the essence of the four Longevity Pills, the Mystic Pearl was slowly drawn into the Soul Bell. Instantly, the Yin Mist gathered, and the broken copper bell visibly shone with brilliance. As it swayed gently, the deep, resonant sound of the bell was captivating.

Does this bell belong to someone?

Luo Fanchen's face paled slightly. After the Soul Bell was completed, he finally understood the intricacies of this bell.

Holding the Soul Banner, he remembered the recognition mark on the Soul Bell, and he was very familiar with the aura on the demonic runes.

This isn't an unclaimed item; its owner is...
"Luo Qianqiu".

Luo Fanchen's lips trembled slightly, and his back felt a little cold. The next moment, the Soul Bell trembled violently, and countless tender buds and withered trees intertwined and grew under the Soul Bell, quickly transforming into the prototype of a beautiful figure.

Her long, flowing hair resembled an inverted galaxy, her eyebrows were like clouds, her plain blue robe stretched to the ground, and a tuft of white hair was like a goose feather or a snowflake, making her appear cold and otherworldly.

The soul bell stopped abruptly, transforming into a ray of light that disappeared into the beautiful figure. Amidst the swirling dark green spiritual light, Luo Qianqiu's figure slowly took shape.

“Lolo Qianqiu”.

Luo Fanchen's expression was solemn, and the Record of the Eight Desolate Demonesses had already jumped out on its own.

Luo Qianqiu, the Rebellious Demoness (A Withered Tree Reborn, Only I Am Everlasting)

[Pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements, current admiration value: -1]

[Currently available enchantresses to bind: 1 (Bind?)]

The crimson name was captivating. Luo Qianqiu stood barefoot, her thin lips indifferent, her phoenix eyes as cold as a deep pool, and three star-shaped moles adorning her snow-white neck. She seemed like a banished immortal descended to earth, exuding an aloof and untouchable fairy-like image.

红名
Luo Fanchen swallowed silently, then mustered his courage to continue scrutinizing Luo Qianqiu.

This woman has excellent looks, though not stunningly beautiful. She has a round face that grows on you, with harmonious and delicate features. Her exceptional temperament is unlike anything he has ever seen, even surpassing Ming Ruoxue by a significant margin.

If it weren't for the support of her beloved, Ming Ruoxue wouldn't be a match for Luo Qianqiu.

"Ants, you've raised your heads too high."

Luo Qianqiu raised her eyebrows slightly, her extreme and intense malice almost overwhelming Luo Fanchen's mind. However, after sensing the almost tangible killing intent and ferocity emanating from him, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and her malice began to subside.

“Not bad, you’re more like a demonic cultivator now.”

"."

Luo Fanchen pursed his lips and remained silent; the killing intent he had just felt was incredibly real.

If Luo Qianqiu didn't sense that the demonic energy on his body was truly capable of killing him, it would be more accurate to say that she spared her own life on a whim.

He looked at the Demoness Record again and saw that Luo Qianqiu's red name had faded, her admiration value had returned to 0, and was starting to rise towards 1.

"I have come to seek out the legacy as instructed by my predecessor, and I have come to keep my appointment with you. What are your instructions?"

"I haven't decided yet. I never intended to spare your life." Luo Qianqiu's phoenix eyes were indifferent. With each light step she took, plants seemed to sprout anew, and the moist aroma of tea lingered around Luo Fanchen's nose.

Her voice was soft and gentle as she approached Luo Fanchen, mockingly saying, "Tell me, how should I deal with you, you ant?"

"He will keep his promise and bestow the longevity elixir upon the younger generation, thus settling all grudges."

Luo Fanchen remained neither humble nor arrogant; he learned from his previous lesson and did not continue to back down.

"Settled? Okay, come and collect it."

Luo Qianqiu raised her eyebrows slightly, tapped her slender fingers, and the summoning bell slowly floated in front of the other party.

Luo Fanchen calmly accepted the Soul Bell, took out the Longevity Pill, and put it into his pocket without the slightest hesitation.

"You are quite courageous."

"Because you won't kill me, senior."

Luo Qianqiu breathed softly, and with a flick of her delicate hand, hundreds of vines entangled Luo Fanchen's joints, as if trying to break his bones.

"how do you know?"

“If you wanted to kill me, you could have done so at Feiyun Workshop. Why go through all this trouble?”

Luo Fanchen's face remained calm, while Luo Qianqiu's phoenix eyes gradually turned fierce. Evil thoughts instantly enveloped Luo Fanchen like a natural disaster, but after a moment, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "I like talking to interesting people."

She tiptoed, sniffed lightly at Luo Fanchen's neck with her delicate nose, and sighed, "Seventh level of Qi Refining, a bit too inexperienced."

"Otherwise, it would be excellent for alchemy."

Luo Qianqiu did not untie Luo Fanchen, but simply kept him bound without increasing the force.

Of course she wouldn't, and couldn't, kill Luo Fanchen. This young man possessed a Xuanmen Soul Token, so even if she were to come in person, she couldn't take his life.

She spared Luo Fanchen and granted him a chance because they were both born with the five spiritual roots, and because his determination to pursue the Dao was unwavering, bearing a resemblance to her own past self, which made her feel a sense of treasuring his talent.

The lost orthodox sect of Xuanmen, the True Essence Body, cultivates the Vast and Mighty Heavenly Mysterious Chapter.

He chose to cultivate through the Soul Banner, and his two little girls, who were close to him, were born with a fierce nature. It's such a pity that such an interesting person chose to cultivate the righteous path.

He should be led astray into the demonic path, to be at her beck and call.

"Thank you for bestowing the pill, senior."

Luo Fanchen accepted the longevity pill without hesitation, and silently observed Luo Qianqiu out of the corner of his eye.

He knew that Luo Qianqiu must have something in mind and would not let him leave easily.

As expected, Luo Qianqiu pursed her cherry lips slightly and said teasingly, "Thank you? No need, I'll need your help someday."

Luo Qianqiu's lips were slightly thin, yet they appeared moist and even, completely lacking Liu Xia's meanness and ruthlessness; they were naturally beautiful.

"Senior's cultivation is extraordinary, while mine is shallow; I'm afraid I cannot help you."

"You can say no."

Luo Qianqiu's beautiful eyes curved into crescents, exuding a friendly aura, but Luo Fanchen knew he had no choice.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the vines that had been binding Luo Fanchen slowly unfurled. The latter gasped for breath, and when he came to his senses, three jade-like slender fingers were already stretched out in front of him, and Luo Qianqiu's voice was as clear as a spring in his ear.

"Three conditions."

"Three?"

Luo Fanchen was slightly taken aback, inwardly cursing this vixen for being so shameless.

Luo Qianqiu's phoenix eyes turned cold, and she said mockingly, "Young man, is your life not worth three conditions?"

After he finished speaking, a violent spiritual force swept over his face. Luo Fanchen felt as if a thousand-pound mountain was pressing down on him, and every muscle in his body was trembling. He was forced to lower his head and half-prostrate on the ground, unable to move even half a finger.

Luo Qianqiu walked gracefully, her white, clean arches extended, and her toes lifted Luo Fanchen's chin, forcing him to look into her eyes.

"First, I want your Soul Banner inheritance and sublimation method."

"Secondly, with the destruction of the Yimu Sect, there are vacancies in the territories of the three sects. You must help me secure the extra slots for establishing a new sect."

Luo Qianqiu looked down at him, her face as beautiful as a painting, and hesitated slightly before saying, "Thirdly, let's see how you perform first."

Luo Fanchen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and his expression gradually turned ugly.

Establish a sect? What a joke! With his mere Qi Refining Stage 7, without Core Formation to oversee things, he dares to dream of establishing a sect?

He couldn't meet either of the first two conditions.

"Don't be afraid, you are from the main branch of the Heavenly Demon Sect, how can you not do it?"

"I was merely borrowing the tiger's power; I dare not show off in front of my seniors."

Luo Fanchen forcibly suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. His chin was soft and itchy, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see his fair and delicate toes, which were even and smooth to the touch, and were decorated with light red cardamom.

The immaculate body of a Core Formation cultivator is indeed far superior to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"The fox pretends to be the tiger's power?"

Luo Qianqiu's voice was full of meaning.

She lifted her toes, and with a flick of her wrist, a vast expanse of black mist surged and condensed into a jet-black ink tablet in her palm.

The card is jet black with a mysterious glow. The front is covered with crisscrossing demonic patterns resembling a ghost face, and has the seal of killing gods and slaying demons. The back is carved with mysterious crystal, resembling a soul banner unfurling in the wind, with the three characters "Heavenly Demon Order" written on it, and no name below.

Blood-red light surged from Luo Qianqiu's fingertips. Using her essence and blood as a writing brush, she carved the two characters "Ling Leng" in a graceful and elegant manner. Then, with her delicate hand, she touched Luo Fanchen's brow, taking a wisp of his divine soul and essence and imprinting it into him.

Immediately, the vengeful ghosts howled, and the entire secret realm trembled under the demonic power, but it quickly vanished without a trace.

"Tsk tsk, the fake fox has become a real tiger."

Luo Qianqiu waved her sleeve lightly, and the ink tablet slowly landed in front of Luo Fanchen.

The latter's pupils shrank to the size of wheat awns, and he couldn't believe it for a moment. He... had become a demonic cultivator?

"Senior, is this fake?"

Luo Fanchen could no longer maintain his composure. He could feel a resonance of blood ties on the ink tablet, similar to that on the wooden tablet.

This is a genuine identity token. But Luo Qianqiu is also a rogue cultivator. Why is he qualified to give the main lineage a token?
As the main lineage, not the slave lineage, Luo Qianqiu is already in the late stage of Core Formation. Her Dao heart is firm and unbreakable, and her mind is meticulous and her wisdom is like that of a demon. She can be regarded as an outstanding person among demonic cultivators. Her current identity is probably far beyond his imagination.

"Use it or not, take it or leave it."

Luo Qianqiu, unconcerned, stood barefoot with her arches like the moon, half-forcing Luo Fanchen to kiss the back of her feet, a symbol of submission.

Luo Fanchen felt rather helpless. He discovered that strong and arrogant bad women always liked to make people submit in this way.

Compared to Liu Xia, he was less averse to her, since a Core Formation cultivator's immaculate body was cleaner than his mouth.

"Having received the benefits, you should naturally do things for me."

Luo Qianqiu's slender waist swayed so gracefully it seemed impossible to grasp it with one hand. She was barefoot, her long, delicate legs stretched out, as smooth as mutton fat.

"Ming Ruoxue's retainer's token, tsk tsk tsk, who wouldn't like such a pure and beautiful fairy? If you help her get the chief position, you will naturally be able to obtain permission to establish a sect. At that time, someone will hand it over to you, so you don't need to worry about it."

"The soul tablet in your hand was bestowed upon you by me and is now under my tutelage. If you reveal even a fraction of it, you shall weigh the pros and cons yourself."

Luo Qianqiu stopped there; she did not place a mental restriction on Luo Fanchen.

Firstly, he is protected by the Xuanmen Soul Tablet; secondly, Luo Fanchen is no ordinary man, and taming him requires a gradual approach, otherwise it will only lead to rebellion.

How interesting it is that she bewitched and corrupted the talents valued by the Xuanmen sect! Just thinking about it made her savor the memory.

Furthermore, Luo Fanchen is also an invaluable talent, as she will later establish her Nascent Soul and govern a region.

It would be such a waste to give it to the Xuanmen and Daozong sects.

It's too hot to handle!

Luo Fanchen felt the weight coming from his waist and unconsciously rubbed his back teeth.

The identity of the Heavenly Demon Sect is a hot potato. As long as they are within the territory of the Daoist sects and the Xuanmen, if their identity is exposed, they will be surrounded and killed by the righteous path.

As for the Heavenly Demon Sect's power within the Demonic Sect, he could have easily evaded it by using the Soul Banner.

"You're at a disadvantage."

Luo Fanchen clicked his tongue in silence. The identity token offered almost no benefit and only increased the risk.

Unfortunately, now that the Heavenly Demon Decree has been completed, whether he likes it or not, his soul and essence are already recorded.

Fortunately, the identity of the main lineage of the Heavenly Demon Sect is extremely precious. Similar to the orthodox Xuanmen sect, only Golden Core True Persons or even True Monarchs who have made great achievements in Xuanzhang and have opened their own lineage are qualified to be personally granted the token, and the number of such people is limited.

For Luo Qianqiu, he was also a very important tool, and he wouldn't give up on him easily.

Something's not right. Luo Qianqiu was able to bestow the token, proving that she was capable of establishing her own lineage. Had she... resonated with the profound mysteries?
"If even an ant like you can comprehend profound mysteries, why can't I?"

Luo Qianqiu rested her chin on her hand, looking down at him with her long, narrow eyes slightly narrowed into crescent shapes, easily understanding his thoughts.

Luo Fanchen found it hard to believe that after forming the Core, he could still start cultivating from scratch and resonate with the Profound Chapter?
"It's just a token, what's so difficult about that? I'll take it myself."

"."

Luo Fanchen's lips moved silently.

Luo Qianqiu, like a withered tree blossoming in spring, has undergone a transformation through life and death, tempered his Dao heart by passing through the Heavenly Tribulation, and broken through the bottleneck. He is now completely different from before, with the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, far surpassing the nascent souls of ordinary affiliated sects.

She was listed as a born demon on the demon list, and her style of doing things and her personality perfectly matched the doctrines of the demonic sect.

Furthermore, given that Luo Qianqiu can refine the Soul-Summoning Bell, he has likely joined the Three Corpses Sect. No wonder he can comprehend the Profound Chapters.
"You're studying the profound texts of the Three Corpses Sect?"

"you guess?"

Luo Qianqiu smiled knowingly, while Luo Fanchen belatedly realized what was happening and felt a chill run down his spine.

What a joke! This demoness worships the Three Corpses Sect and bestowed upon him the token of the Heavenly Demon Sect?

So that's how it is. Luo Qianqiu killed a main branch of the Heavenly Demon Sect and gave him the stolen token. What's wrong with him?

"We demonic cultivators should take it upon ourselves. Once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, they will beg to acknowledge you as their clan."

Luo Qianqiu waved her hand dismissively, her white hair swaying gracefully, her phoenix eyes filled with disdain.

"The younger generation has learned a lesson"

Luo Fanchen pursed his lips slightly, and he quickly figured out the crux of the matter.

Luo Qianqiu is comprehending the profound text and is about to form his Nascent Soul. Once he breaks through his core and forms his Nascent Soul, he will receive the respect due to any demonic sect and hold a high position.

At that time, the Heavenly Demon Sect will likely be eager to acknowledge his identity, so their fates will be intertwined, one for all and the other for all.

Does Luo Qianqiu mean that he should fully assist her in achieving Nascent Soul stage?

"That's really domineering."

Luo Fanchen admired him in his heart. His dream was to achieve the Core Formation and gain the recognition of the Xuanzong Sect, while Luo Qianqiu achieved the Nascent Soul stage and forced the Demon Sect to admit defeat.

"The inheritance of the Soul Banner and the inheritance of the Soul Summoning Bell complement each other, and we can learn from each other."

"Senior, the Soul Banner technique was obtained by me by chance. The original method was destroyed long ago."

"Don't you happen to have one?"

Luo Qianqiu's phoenix eyes turned cold, but Luo Fanchen did not back down. The Soul Banner carried Qiu Yun's soul, and he could not hand it over to anyone.

“This banner has already recognized its master. As long as I live, the blood pact will not end. This item is useless to you, senior.”

"Heh, I have some knowledge of the art of seizing a body and returning to life, and I can teach it to you."

Luo Qianqiu's pretty face was playful. She gently lifted Luo Fanchen's chin with her fair index finger, her eyes, as cold as a deep blue pool, were icy and piercing.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and Luo Fanchen's skin broke out in goosebumps, while the fine hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

He activated the True Essence of Wood within his body, and the wooden tablet broke through the void and came to him. Luo Qianqiu held it firmly in her hand, but she was only an avatar. The wooden tablet quickly broke free of its restraints and disappeared into his arms.

The overflowing spiritual power in the meridians gradually dissipated, the feeling of overflowing true essence returned, and the sense of constraint within the body weakened.

Luo Fanchen grasped Luo Qianqiu's wrist, slowly stood up, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Senior, although I cannot give you the method of inheriting the Soul Banner, I can let you personally witness the sublimation ceremony, which may be of some benefit."

"However, I need your help with something."

"Ha, you seem to have failed to recognize your own place."

Luo Qianqiu's green robe fluttered in the wind, her long black hair moved without any breeze, and a strong killing aura emanated from her body, far surpassing Luo Fanchen's by a factor of ten thousand.

"I am locked in a life-or-death struggle with a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Daoist sect, and I intend to kill him and elevate my Soul Banner."

Luo Qianqiu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. The coldness in his eyes faded, replaced by a playful and intrigued expression.

"Go on."

"I have a mortal enemy with this fiend and have laid a trap. I have invited you to observe, senior. However, I still need your help to conceal the aura of our battle as much as possible."

"If I hadn't helped, would you have killed her to refine the banner?"

"I will kill her!"

Luo Fanchen's expression was serious, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He and Liu Xia were sworn enemies, and his request for help from Luo Qianqiu was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was to be on the safe side and to maintain a strong stance, lest this vixen take advantage of him.

Luo Qianqiu stared intently at Luo Fanchen for a moment with her phoenix eyes, a rare smile appearing on her pretty face.

"To reverse the tide and kill the Foundation Establishment cultivator of Luoshen Pavilion in Qingyuan Domain"

Luo Qianqiu's murderous aura subsided, and her pretty face became serene and peaceful, like a deep, clear pool under the moonlight.

She wanted to guide Luo Fanchen towards becoming a demonic cultivator, because killing the Dao Sect disciple Lian Fan was what a demonic cultivator should do.

"It is only right for us demonic cultivators to act this way. This is interesting. I grant your permission."

Luo Qianqiu, with her high level of charm, lightly touched her hand, and amidst the flickering light, the Soul Bell slowly floated into Luo Fanchen's palm.

"This fragment of my soul will reside within this bell. When I ring it in battle, I will appear and be isolated from external perception."

"I'm waiting to see you fail. If you fail, I'll gladly accept your soul and soul banner."

"I will surely kill this scoundrel!"

Luo Fanchen accepted the Soul Bell with both hands. Luo Qianqiu returned his gaze with a mocking smile before her figure transformed into a wisp of green smoke and slowly dissipated, finally disappearing completely into the Soul Bell, leaving only the words: "This array is a spatial barrier, capable of cross-domain teleportation twice."

The murmuring voice faded away, and the surrounding space suddenly shattered. When Luo Fanchen regained his senses, he had already returned to the entrance of the third level of the secret realm.

"This is... the space key?"

Luo Fanchen looked down and saw that the previously dissipated Yi Wood imprint had reappeared. With a little spiritual power injected, it resonated with the core of the secret realm's bottom layer, clearly indicating that it could activate an inter-domain teleportation.

He constantly threatens to kill, but in reality, he's secretly given him an extremely valuable trump card to save his life.
"Activating the runes will teleport you to the bottom of the secret realm and allow for a second inter-realm teleportation?"

Luo Fanchen murmured to himself, toying with the Longevity Pill in his hand, his eyes thoughtful.

It seems that he is far more important to Luo Qianqiu than imagined.

"With Jianzong's permission, it seems Luo Qianqiu is about to take action against the Luoshen Pavilion."

Luo Fanchen clicked his tongue. He couldn't afford to offend Luo Qianqiu for the time being. Now, he could only take it one step at a time.

At least before he grew up, Luo Qianqiu could only give him a warning and intimidation, but wouldn't actually harm him. Moreover, after each outburst, Luo Qianqiu would bestow many opportunities upon him. Compared to that, the powerful Luo Shen Pavilion clan, which drove people to their deaths, was... well, let's just say it was a joke.
"The righteous path, the demonic path? I can hardly tell anymore."

Luo Fanchen sighed. At least in a sense, he, the fake fox, had become a real tiger.

The main branch of the Heavenly Demon Sect holds a status roughly equivalent to the orthodox sects of the Xuanmen.

At the same time, outside the Yimu Secret Realm, aboard a luxurious vehicle.

"I want him dead!"

Her furious roar seemed to shatter eardrums. Liu Xia's pretty face was contorted with rage, her spiritual power surging violently. With a wave of her sleeves, she frantically smashed everything in sight, venting her anger wildly.

"Useless! They're all useless! I spent so much effort training them, and over two hundred of them were wiped out by Luo Fanchen in just three hours?"

Liu Xia's beautiful eyes were bloodshot, her emotions were fluctuating, and she felt dizzy from the rage.

"Please calm down, Your Excellency."

"Calm down? Even if you put two hundred spirit-haired boars into the secret realm, Luo Fanchen wouldn't be able to kill them all in three hours!"

Liu Xia casually grabbed a jade cup and smashed it across the face of the leading elder of the Hou Tu Pavilion. The elder was covered in blood and knelt on the ground in fear. Beside him, several Foundation Establishment cultivators held their breath and knelt in fear.

The Daoist prodigy's thunderous wrath—how could these old, vassal Foundation Establishment cultivators dare to provoke him?

"My lord, Luo Fanchen is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, a rogue cultivator. How could he possibly kill over two hundred people all by himself?"

"It seems that, as Fairy Ruoxue said, it is the work of treacherous villains from the Heavenly Demon Sect."

The eldest elder of the Zodiac Tower spoke humbly. They were deeply saddened by the loss of their elite disciple, which nearly severed the lineage of two generations. They were filled with resentment, but they did not quite believe that a mere Luo Fanchen could wipe out all the disciples of the four sects.

What a joke! Even if he just stood there and let Luo Fan kill him, he would have exhausted his true essence by now.

A rogue cultivator is still just a rogue cultivator; how could he possibly cultivate the profound chapters?

“If it weren’t for Xuanzhang, even if this boy had a special physique, he would never have been able to kill all the disciples of my four sects.”

"you."

Liu Xia's lips moved weakly, her head drooping as if deflated, and she slumped back onto the soft couch.

She had to admit that Ming Ruoxue and the elders were right. Even with a superior true essence body, it was impossible to achieve terrifying combat power that could be described as defying the heavens without cultivating the Xuanzhang inheritance.

Luo Fanchen was ultimately a rogue cultivator and could not possibly cultivate to the Xuanzhang level.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it really the work of the Demonic Sect, and Luo Fanchen doesn't have that ability?

"Impossible! Only this scoundrel has a grudge against me. Before entering the secret realm, he personally said that he would kill the disciples of the four sects."

Liu Xia knew the logic was flawed, but she disregarded her pride and persisted relentlessly.

She couldn't care less about anything else; the pent-up anger in her heart desperately needed to be released. Prolonged pent-up anger could lead to palpitations and even demonic possession.

Regardless of whether it was Luo Fanchen or not, she was determined to tear this brat to pieces to vent her hatred.

Since her future is ruined anyway, what can't she do?

"My lord, if there is no evidence, Fairy Ruoxue will definitely keep a close watch on us and will never allow us to take action."

"Ha, you lot? You're nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs, why should you lift a finger?"

Liu Xia sneered, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
