Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 56 Bull Demon
Ji Cheng looked at it repeatedly and confirmed that the title "Copycat Chicken" had no restrictive effect.

It didn't say that an item could only be copied once, nor did it say that the ability had a cooldown. Ji Cheng couldn't help but get excited. "Damn, isn't that invincible?"
"Okay, let's give it a try and see how it works..."

That night, Ji Cheng couldn't wait any longer and prepared to try out the secret manual of "Treading Clouds and Flowing Wind Steps".

He opened his mouth, put the "Stepping on Clouds and Flowing Wind" in his mouth, then closed his upper and lower jaws and began to make copies.

In an instant, Ji Cheng's mind went blank, and his breath became much weaker.

"My demonic power was instantly drained by more than half?"

After regaining his composure, Ji Cheng was stunned. He produced two identical copies of "Treading Clouds and Flowing Wind Steps".

The photocopy was successful, but it consumed his own demonic power.

At this moment, he felt completely drained. This was no photocopied chicken, it was clearly juiced chicken!
Ji Cheng sighed in dismay. This ability was not invincible. Just copying a copy of "The Cloud-Treading Flowing Wind Steps" drained most of his demonic power. If he were to copy a spiritual fruit, wouldn't he be squeezed into chicken jerky?
He suddenly felt relieved; thankfully, he had tried out the "Cloud-Treading Flowing Wind Steps" first and learned how to use it.

"But then again, I'm just too weak."

Ji Cheng shook his head. If his cultivation level improved and his demonic power increased, the side effects of copying the treasure would be greatly reduced.

He estimated that if he broke through to the first-tier demon beast level, he should be able to copy a spirit fruit.

Well, overall, the title of "Copycat Chicken" is pretty awesome.

As for these titles...

Currently, he can only wear a maximum of three titles, so the title of "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg" was automatically removed.

Ji Cheng was not in a hurry to shatter the title of "Golden Rooster Stands Alone".

Based on his past experience, if he breaks through to the first level of demon beast, he should be able to wear an additional title.

Moreover, the title of "Copier Chicken," which has a special function, does not need to be worn all the time; it is not too late to wear it when there is a need for copying.

Therefore, he still wears the three titles of "Turkey", "Wind-blowing Chicken" and "Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg".

"What I need now is to improve my strength. Only when I am strong enough can I use the title of 'Copycat Chicken'."

No matter how fancy your titles are, your own abilities are the foundation of everything; don't put the cart before the horse.

Ji Cheng understood this point very well.

The moon, like a wall, hangs in the mid-sky, its clear light spreading far and wide, while the river flows gently.

On the riverbank, Big Yellow and the Azure Flame Rabbit were already waiting.

Big Yellow was busy catching fish, while Little Rabbit picked up some pretty pebbles on the riverbank to play with.

"Squeak?"

Seeing that Ji Cheng was late, the little rabbit jumped in front of him, wondering why he looked so weak.
Ji Cheng didn't explain, but silently breathed fire to roast the ingredients prepared by Dahuang and the little rabbit.

Actually, the Azure Flame Rabbit is now with Ji Cheng and Big Yellow not just for the food, but more for fun. It treats the chicken and the dog as companions and is happy even when they are chasing and playing.

"Wang?"

Da Huang caught a carp and asked Ji Cheng if they were still going to Mangshan tonight.

Ji Cheng shook his head: "Forget it, I just finished cultivating and it took a lot of energy."

Big Yellow understood, so we'll catch fewer fish and not leave any for the white python.

The little rabbit brought some greens and carrots from the field and asked Ji Cheng to help roast them, saying they would taste better roasted.

Ji Cheng laughed and said, "You're no different from a demon beast now."

A spirit beast spent all its time mingling with demonic beasts and gradually became assimilated.

The little rabbit squeaked in protest, saying, "What's wrong with me helping Fairy Su refine pills during the day and getting a good meal at night?"
"Moo~"

Suddenly, a cow bellowed, startling Ji Cheng, Da Huang, and the little rabbit.

Not far away, a large black bull stood in the reeds, peeking out its head and looking in Ji Cheng's direction.

"Wang!"

Big Yellow was immediately on high alert. It hadn't even noticed the big black bull nearby. What did that mean?
"Squeak!"

The Azure Flame Rabbit, terrified, hid behind Ji Cheng. It revealed that this was a second-tier demon beast, perhaps even stronger than the white python from Python Mountain. A second-tier bull demon?

Ji Cheng was taken aback. Was Wuzhen really that dangerous? When did a second-tier bull demon appear there?
"Moo~"

The bull demon's roar seemed to be trying to curry favor with Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng told Da Huang and the little rabbit not to panic and to see what the other party wanted to do first.

The bull demon slowly emerged from the reeds, its body muscular and incredibly strong; one can hardly imagine how delicious it would be roasted and eaten.

It took a few steps forward and then stopped, deliberately maintaining a relatively safe distance from Ji Cheng.

"Moo~"

The bull demon's calls were gentle and friendly, indicating that it wanted to play with Ji Cheng and the other demons.

It even looked a bit reserved, like a lonely little kid trying to fit in and play with the group.

"Wang!"

Dahuang called out to Ji Cheng, sensing no malice from the bull demon.

What's strange is that this bull demon's aura is very gentle, without a trace of violence or rage, as if this bull demon has eaten grass all its life and has never harmed humans or birds and beasts.

"squeak!"

The little rabbit chimed in, also unable to detect any threat from the bull demon, though it was hard to say whether the demon was simply well disguised.

Regardless, a second-tier demonic beast was still too dangerous for the three little ones.

"Brother Niu, what are you planning to do?"

Ji Cheng stepped forward and asked.

He wasn't afraid. He had a knack for recognizing both people and demons, and his intuition told him that this bull demon was a kind person.

"Moo, moo~"

The bull demon called out to Ji Cheng eagerly twice, its big eyes filled with expectation and longing, as if it hadn't found a playmate willing to play with it for a long time.

Ji Cheng felt that this bull demon was not very old, and was quite simple and innocent, like a child.

Then, the bull demon mooed a few more times.

It said that it had been secretly observing Ji Cheng and Da Huang, and wanted to play with them, but was afraid of scaring them. It even watched the battle that night when Ji Cheng and Da Huang killed the wolf demon.

Ji Cheng and Da Huang exchanged a glance, deeply shocked. They hadn't even noticed the existence of this bull demon.

This shows that the bull demon is not only much stronger, but also extremely good at concealing its aura.

Logically speaking, given the strength of this bull demon, if it wanted to do something bad to this chicken and dog, it wouldn't need to go through all this trouble and beat around the bush; it could have just suppressed them directly.

Therefore, Ji Cheng did not hesitate and chose to accept the bull demon.

He invited the bull demon to come closer.

"Brother Niu, what would you like to eat, roast chicken or roast fish?"

"Moo~"

The bull demon shook its head, then stuck out its tongue, rolled up a clump of grass on the ground, and began to eat it.

Then, it gave Ji Cheng, Da Huang, and the little rabbit a憨厚 smile.

This bull demon is a vegetarian.

Big Yellow mustered its courage, cautiously walked over, circled around the bull demon, and sniffed its scent.

The bull demon voluntarily lay down on the grass, signaling that it had no intention of attacking.

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

"Moo~"

Dahuang called out twice to the bull demon, who responded with a simple, honest moo.
