A Mortal's Supporting Character's Different Kind of Cultivation

The bottle's mouth suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful suction force burst forth, instantly pulling the Heavenly Demon into the bottle. Lu Yunfeng reacted swiftly, sealing it firmly inside with layers of restrictions.

Lu Yunfeng flicked his fingers, precisely attaching several talismans to the bottle to reinforce the seal, then carefully stored them in his storage bag.

"call……"

He let out a long sigh, still feeling lingering fear.

Without this jade bottle, he would have had to give up on subduing the Heavenly Demon today, and would have lost the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo as well, which would undoubtedly be a great loss for him.

He recalled the record on the jade slip: "The Heavenly Demon is fierce and untamable. Forcibly refining it is extremely dangerous. The slightest carelessness will result in a backlash. At best, one's cultivation will be completely destroyed and one's soul will be damaged. At worst, one's body and soul will be destroyed, and one will never be able to reincarnate."

No wonder even a powerful cultivator like Dong Quan ultimately fell into the hands of the Heavenly Demon, powerless to reverse the situation, and had no choice but to disintegrate and leave this world.

Lu Yunfeng's expression was solemn. He had no idea how to deal with the Heavenly Demon at the moment, so he could only seal it in a jade bottle for the time being and plan for the future.

His thoughts shifted, and his gaze fell upon the Thunder Bamboo that had suppressed the Heavenly Demon for tens of thousands of years.

The bamboo stalks stood tall and straight, with clear and distinct bamboo joint patterns. Within each section of the bamboo, fine lightning patterns flowed faintly. The originally pure lightning was intertwined with wisps of dark black energy, and the Yin energy surged endlessly.

Based on the records on the jade slip, Lu Yunfeng had figured out the cause and effect.

After being attacked by the Heavenly Demon, Dong Quan suffered severe damage to his soul and his cultivation level plummeted. The Demon-Sealing Jade Bottle he had obtained in the past could no longer contain the raging and out-of-control Heavenly Demon. In desperation, he could only borrow the power of the evil-repelling divine thunder inherent in the Ten-Thousand-Year Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to temporarily suppress the Heavenly Demon under the roots of the bamboo, intending to recuperate and deal with it later after his cultivation level recovered.

Unfortunately, the backlash was too severe, and his soul was seriously damaged. Even if he secluded himself to guard against it, there was no possibility of recovery. In the end, he could only disintegrate and die here.

Lu Yunfeng couldn't help but sigh.

This "Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Mystic Art" is indeed vicious and dangerous. One wrong step will lead to the collapse of one's soul and eternal damnation.

However, this method is equally terrifying in its power. Once it is fully mastered, it can refine the nine Heavenly Demons into external avatars, and one's own soul will be symbiotically connected with the Heavenly Demons, sharing both glory and loss.

Only by simultaneously annihilating all nine Heavenly Demons and completely shattering their divine souls can the future troubles be completely eliminated. If only a few are killed, not only will the scourge not be eradicated, but the ferocity of the remaining Heavenly Demons will be intensified, causing their power to increase several times over.

This symbiotic method, while not truly immortal, is certainly extremely difficult to deal with. Having an extra life to rely on, despite the numerous risks, is worth a try.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon possesses the Nine Netherworld Evil Qi, a rare and extremely Yin and malevolent entity in the world. He also possesses several demonic cultivation techniques, making this entity extremely useful to him.

Lu Yunfeng cleared his mind of distractions and focused intently on the spiritual bamboo before him.

After tens of thousands of years of erosion by Yin energy, this original ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo has long since lost its spiritual energy and degenerated into the lowest grade of White Thunder Bamboo.

Even though it has been tainted by the evil energy of the heavenly demons for many years and worn down day and night, the bamboo still retains its thunderous charm and has never completely decayed and deteriorated, which shows the profound and miraculous nature of the three great spiritual trees in the cultivation world.

He stepped forward and carefully dug out the Thunder Bamboo by the roots, then reinforced the bamboo with several restrictions to seal the Yin energy and residual thunder power within it before carefully putting it into his storage bag.

This bamboo has been soaked in the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds for tens of thousands of years, and has long since lost the pure and righteous attributes of the original Thunder Bamboo. It is now deeply inhabited by Yin energy and is no longer suitable for refining orthodox thunder attribute magic weapons.

However, if it falls into the hands of a demonic cultivator who reverses Yin and Yang, it will become an unparalleled treasure.

In ancient times, demonic cultivators had to travel to the Netherworld, mass graves, and desolate ghost realms to painstakingly collect yin energy and exhaust countless efforts before they could barely refine yin lightning.

This type of Yin Lightning is based on filth and specifically counters righteous energy. It can not only harm the physical body but also erode the spirituality of magical artifacts. Orthodox cultivators have always avoided it like the plague.

The Thunder Bamboo before us has already been naturally refined by the Yin Qi of the Nine Netherworlds for ten thousand years, and its foundation is already established.

If this is used to refine Yin Lightning, its power will be several times greater than that of ordinary evil lightning. However, the corresponding backlash will also be more intense, easily stirring up inner demons and chaotic thoughts, eroding the Dao heart, and over time, causing mental confusion and falling into the abyss of demonic ways.

Lu Yunfeng pondered the pros and cons in silence, and sighed helplessly.

The question of the Heavenly Demon is still unresolved, and now this evil object has appeared.

If both dangerous treasures are to be refined, the requirements for one's spiritual sense and Dao heart will be extremely high. If one is even slightly lax, one will be eroded by evil energy and demonic thoughts, and end up in eternal damnation.

But since things have come to this point, and the opportunity has been seized, we should go with the flow.

For now, store them all away. Once we leave this forbidden area, we can slowly devise a method to refine them.

If the backlash is truly uncontrollable and cannot be used for one's own benefit, then one can simply sell it off.

Even if it meant losing money by offering a discount, it was better than keeping a hot potato with endless hidden dangers, so Lu Yunfeng had no qualms about it.

After collecting all the treasures in the center of the secret realm, his gaze fell on the futon where the skeleton had sat earlier.

This object appears ordinary, woven from common wood, lacking any brilliance, and is simple and unremarkable.

But tens of thousands of years have passed in this place, and the wind and sand have eroded it. Ordinary objects have long since decayed into dust, but this futon is still intact, which is no ordinary object.

Lu Yunfeng pondered for a moment, then slowly sat down.

In an instant, a refreshing and cool sensation rushed into my mind.

The exhaustion of the soul from overusing divine sense in the previous days quickly dissipated at this moment, and a warm feeling spread through the body, as if soaking in a hot spring, which was indescribably comfortable.

After an incense stick had burned, he slowly opened his eyes.

Her complexion faded from pale, regaining its rosy and fullness, her eyes became clear and bright, and all her fatigue vanished.

"So it's a rare treasure made of Soul-Nourishing Wood," Lu Yunfeng realized.

This item is not purely natural soul-nourishing wood, but was carefully refined by a master using a unique method. The technique is ancient and distinctive, completely different from the contemporary art of weapon crafting.

If he hadn't studied demonic scriptures and mastered the secrets of unorthodox methods, even if an ordinary cultivator picked it up casually, they would never have been able to perceive its wonders without knowing its origins.

Lu Yunfeng's face lit up with joy as he solemnly put away the prayer mat.

Treasures that nourish the soul and preserve one's true nature are rare and priceless treasures in any realm.

Such magical treasures often require years of gradual nurturing through the top-tier mental techniques of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, or the blessing of unique and precious treasures, to be created; they are rare and hard to come by.

He already possessed the inheritance of the Demonic Scripture and the Wind-based cultivation technique left by Dong Quan. With limited energy, he had no intention of delving into the teachings of the three religions. Trying to do too much at once would only lead to failure.

Because of his transmigration, his soul was far superior to that of other cultivators of the same level, and his sensitivity to restrictions and great formations of heaven and earth was exceptionally keen, all of which were likely brought about by his transmigration.

Suppressing all his chaotic thoughts, Lu Yunfeng took a deep breath, carefully scanned the surrounding corners again, and made sure that nothing was missed before stepping out of the central area of ​​the stone house.

His clothes were tattered and he was covered in dust from his journey. He stepped onto the ancient teleportation array, took out the Great Teleportation Token, and focused his mind to activate it.

In a flash of inspiration, he selected a spot of light near the outer edge of the forbidden area, enveloped in a halo of light, and teleported away in a flash.
