Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 10 As a demon belonging to a human sect, one must learn to be alone.

After some instruction, Niu Wendao finally stopped eating tree leaves.

Its status is different now; it can no longer eat tree leaves and must be treated like a normal person.

"You must be a good person, even if you don't want to be one, you still need to learn how to be a person in the human world."

Li Changsheng spoke to him earnestly, as if he were teaching his own child.

Niu Wendao nodded thoughtfully. Li Changsheng not only taught him language, but also how to live in the human world.

After studying for half a day, Niu Wendao went to wander around the prison, while Li Changsheng and Nie Qiu continued interrogating the demons.

In the afternoon, Li Changsheng and Nie Qiu dealt with the demon corpses.

Niu Wen asked, sitting rather unceremoniously to the side, "Chang Sheng, did someone named Lu Changshou steal your elixir?"

"Hmm?" Li Changsheng looked at him in surprise, then glanced at Nie Qiu.

Nie Qiu shrugged and said, "Niu asked the other senior brothers for some information and then came to ask me."

"That's true," Li Changsheng admitted.

"So what are you planning to do?" Niu asked curiously.

Li Changsheng shrugged and said, "Of course I'm hiding. With Senior Brother Nie by my side, Lu Changshou wouldn't dare to come."

Niu asked, "Is that so? Is it because you can't beat Lu Changshou?"

"No, I'm a kind person and I don't want to fight or kill," Li Changsheng said seriously.

Even if you can defeat him, you can't say it and secretly use him as nourishment.

Nie Qiu continued, "If Junior Brother Changsheng is at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, Lu Changshou would not dare to snatch his resources. Junior Brother can simply take action directly."

Niu Wendao suddenly realized, looked at Li Changsheng, and said in the ancient demon language, "Are you trying to use this opportunity to teach me to be patient when I'm weak, and to turn the tables when I'm strong?"

Li Changsheng: "??"

I just want to focus on my spiritual practice, how could you think of me like that?!

"Thank you for your kind guidance. I will remember it well. When I am weak, I will learn to bow my head. When I am strong enough, I will kill his whole family." Niu Wendao said solemnly.

Li Changsheng fell silent.

Did he teach him that?

  

He was just trying to be kind and remind the bull demon to be patient and discreet.

But how did he come to the connection with the phrase "kill the whole family"?

"What are you two talking about?" Nie Qiu asked curiously, as he couldn't understand the ancient demon language.

"It's nothing," Niu asked, shaking his head.

Li Changsheng sighed softly: "It's nothing. Niu Wendao has learned very well. He's just repeating what he said before in the ancient demon language."

"I see." Nie Qiu suddenly realized and focused on his work.

He was busy until evening when his female senior sister came to take Niu Wendao away. Before leaving, she gave him another high-grade Qi Refining Pill.

Li Changsheng carried two buckets of blood and flesh and left with Nie Qiu, returning to Nie Qiu's residence.

As for Lu Changshou, go eat shit!

Back at our lodgings, there was a three-story building. On the first floor was a furnace used for blacksmithing and smelting.

The second floor is used for living quarters, while the third floor is used to store the magical artifacts crafted by Nie Qiu, including many high-grade artifacts.

Nie Qiu gave him a tour, and Li Changsheng immediately expressed his amazement, praising the craftsmanship, which pleased Nie Qiu greatly.

"There are several empty rooms on the second floor. You can choose your own place to stay," Nie Qiu said.

"Thank you, senior brother. I'll deal with this flesh and blood first," Li Changsheng said.

Although cooking it might waste a lot of energy, there's no other way.

In the human world, we eat cooked meat, unlike plants, which can be directly broken down into nutrients.

Nie Qiu told him to do as he pleased and went off to do his work.

He is a member of the weapon-refining lineage and still needs to process some weapon-refining materials.

Soon, everything was cooked, but Nie Qiu glanced at it and said he had no appetite at all.

Li Changsheng was simply boiled without any seasoning.

"Senior brother, here's a pill for you," Li Changsheng said, taking out a high-grade Qi-refining pill.

Since you're asking for help, you can only offer a gift.

Nie Qiu was slightly taken aback: "A bottle? Where did you get it?"

He didn't see it. The ox asked him what medicine he was given, and then he went out.

"It was given to me by Niu Wendao," Li Changsheng said truthfully. "I promised to share it with my senior brother, so I won't keep it for myself."

"I really don't know what to say about you."

Nie Qiu chuckled, handed over five high-grade Qi Refining Pills, and gave the remaining five back to him: "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he went straight up to the second floor.

A moment later, he came down, carrying a wooden box.

Li Changsheng looked at the wooden box with curiosity, only to see Nie Qiu open it and find ten porcelain bottles inside.

Upon opening the porcelain bottle, one finds blood-red pills, each containing pure blood essence.

"This is a Qi and Blood Pill, which replenishes Qi and blood and is very useful for body tempering."

Nie Qiu said, "In our Qi Refining lineage, we all need to temper our bodies at the beginning. Spiritual power alone is not enough, so we take Qi and Blood Pills to cultivate."

"I see." Li Changsheng understood.

"These are the leftovers from what I ate back then; they're all mid-grade Qi and Blood Pills."

Nie Qiu explained, "I was thinking of selling it to get some money to exchange for Qi Refining Pills with you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Changsheng said thank you and put away the Qi and Blood Pill.

He is currently refining his body and urgently needs this Qi and Blood Pill.

"I'm a man of principle; I can't just take things from people for nothing." Nie Qiu stood up and said, "Let's eat and rest. I'm going back to my room to cultivate."

Li Changsheng also brought the cooked flesh and blood back to his room. He chose the room on the far side, two or three rooms away from Nie Qiu.

It locked the door from the inside and began absorbing the energy of flesh and blood.

After cooking, quite a lot was indeed wasted.

Take a medium-grade Qi and Blood Pill and refine it quickly.

The energy of a mid-grade Qi and Blood Pill is far beyond that of flesh and blood.

The abundant energy of blood and qi washes over the whole body, tempering and refining it.

The lush green sapling swayed, absorbing the energy of the Qi and Blood Pill. The thin layer of blood-red color actually gathered together and gradually condensed.

Once a mid-grade Qi and Blood Pill was refined, the crimson color transformed into a wisp of blood about an inch long, drifting around the tree.

"This one pill is worth six or seven portions of flesh and blood."

Li Changsheng was overjoyed. If he had four or five more pills, he should be able to reach the third level of Body Refinement!

Instead of further body refinement, he took a high-grade Qi-refining pill.

A powerful medicinal force spread through his body, and Li Changsheng felt as if he had eaten too much.

They quickly sealed it away using storage methods.

He circulated the Lingxu Profound Technique, slowly refining the medicine to ensure that not a single trace of its medicinal power was wasted.

A trace of medicinal power transformed into pure spiritual energy, causing the power of the Lingxu Xuan Gong to surge dramatically.

Mid-stage of Qi Refining Level 5!

"A top-grade Qi Refining Pill, so powerful. The remaining five should be enough to reach at least the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining, if not the sixth level."

Li Changsheng thought to himself.

His female senior sister had also given him one before, but he didn't take it out.

Continue taking Qi and Blood Pills to improve your body refinement as soon as possible and bring it in line with your cultivation level.

He refined two more Qi and Blood Pills and successfully reached the peak of the second level of Body Refinement.

Half of the superior-grade Qi-refining pill was refined, and the remaining half of its medicinal power was stored in the body.

Carrying the empty bucket, he and Nie Qiu headed to the prison to continue their daily work.

Whenever he had free time, he would begin cultivating and refining the stored elixirs.

According to Niu Wendao, normal communication is no problem, but some uncommon characters still need to be learned.

This time, Niu Wendao gave him two bottles of high-grade Qi Refining Pills and said in the ancient demon language, "I want to see you kill Lu Changshou as soon as possible."

Li Changsheng: "..."

If you do this, even if I didn't kill him in the future, I still won't be able to escape responsibility.

"Why don't you come with me? You don't have to stay in this prison."

The cow asked, "Up there, I feel very lonely."

"As a demon in a human sect, you must learn to be alone," Li Changsheng said seriously. "You must never let anyone notice, nor can you show any desire to return to the demon world, otherwise people will think you are ungrateful."

Niu blinked and asked, "How do you know so much?"

"Because I am human," Li Changsheng said. "I know how the human heart thinks."

"Sometimes I just can't understand human thought," Niu asked, nodding.
