Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 15 Niu asked: My disciple is wronged!

Strands of blood, like blood vessels, spread across the body.

The vibrant green life force makes the whole tree glisten like jade, giving it an eerie appearance.

The lush leaves now have a touch of blood, making them even stronger and more resilient.

Body Refinement Level 7!

Li Changsheng opened his eyes, his hands transformed into roots, and touched the superior-grade magic sword.

"It's still a bit inferior to a top-grade magic sword," Li Changsheng thought to himself.

A magic weapon of the same level can either break through your defenses or bite you!

"I'll learn the art of weapon crafting from Nie Qiu later," Li Changsheng muttered to himself. "There's no reason why those demon race members can craft weapons from their bones but I can't."

Treating yourself as a magical artifact to refine shouldn't be a problem, right?

As for injuries, there's no need to worry about them. As long as your identity remains unknown, that endless vitality will heal all wounds.

I'll study it secretly when the time comes.

Without the elixirs, Li Changsheng didn't want to go out and preferred to focus on his cultivation.

When Nie Qiu returns, I will follow him to learn weapon crafting and research stronger methods of body tempering.

His profound skills also need further research; his cultivation method has only reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, without any Foundation Establishment stage plant and tree demon cultivators, there's no reference point.

He continued his cultivation, but progress was slow; he only made a slight improvement each day.

The progress of body refinement was extremely slow, no wonder those demon cultivators couldn't stand it and went to capture living beings as nourishment.

However, I have plenty of time, so there's no need to resort to this method.

If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. If you accidentally expose your demonic form, you'll either be slain or, in more serious cases, torn apart and eaten.

As for Lu Changshou, it was a last resort.

If you bully a tree too much, it will only become fertilizer!

Only a piece of clothing and a long sword that had flown out remained underground, and no one could find out that it was his doing.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Immortality".

A call rang out.

Li Changsheng was slightly taken aback. Looking out the window, he saw Niu Wendao standing outside the door, blocked by the formation and unable to enter.

  

After going downstairs, he welcomed Niu Wendao in and said, "You've come out of the Spirit Void Secret Realm? You seem to have made quite a bit of progress."

"Chang Sheng, I want to ask, what should I do if I steal someone's things?"

Niu asked in a low voice.

Li Changsheng's eyelids twitched; he had a bad feeling. He tentatively asked, "You didn't steal Changchun, did you?"

"Yes," Niu asked, nodding. "But I was forced into it. That guy actually tried to enslave me. Luckily, my master gave me a protective treasure."

In a fit of rage, I activated my bloodline and, with the help of a treasure, severely injured him and stole his elixir.

Li Changsheng fell silent.

Niu Wen continued, "I must say, that spiritual herb is indeed powerful. It allowed me to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining. Even though Changchun is currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he is no match for me."

Li Changsheng: "..."

you're good!

"Changchun hasn't continued to cause you trouble?" Li Changsheng took a deep breath and asked.

"He did it secretly, without anyone else knowing," Niu Wen said. "That's why I stole his elixir."

"Since it was done in private, let's pretend nothing happened," Li Changsheng said. "If you tell your master about this, he will also advise you to be patient."

"I can beat Changchun, so why should I continue to endure?" Niu asked, puzzled. "If I defeat him fair and square, I might be able to take his position and become the senior disciple. That's what my master thinks, and he will support me."

Li Changsheng chuckled: "It's not that easy. Can you beat Changchun? Can you beat the sect leader? Just because your master helps you doesn't mean the sect leader won't help Changchun."

Niu Wen was taken aback and said, "You're right, but there is indeed a problem with Changchun."

Bai Yuquan is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, while the sect leader is at the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation stage—a whole major realm apart.

"If there's a problem, there's a problem. Don't be too curious," Li Changsheng said calmly.

"I sensed a demonic aura emanating from him."

Niu asked, "I didn't investigate; I only sensed it during our fight."

Demon!

Li Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lingxu Cave Heaven was really researching the cultivation methods of the demon race?

Was Changchun the first cultivator?

"Just pretend you know nothing," Li Changsheng said in a low voice. "Playing dumb is the best way for you to survive better in Lingxu Cave Heaven."

"Do I have a secret?" Niu asked, blinking.

"Yes, you have a secret," Li Changsheng said. "When you go to tell your master, just say that Changchun harmed you, and don't mention the elixir."

"Why?" the ox asked, puzzled. "Not tell me everything?"

"That elixir is so precious, how can you say that?" Li Changsheng retorted, "Anyway, only Changchun knows about it, so you can deny it to the death."

"I understand," Niu asked, nodding emphatically.

"Then go back. Don't come looking for me so easily in the future. You are an ancient demon genius, and I am just an ordinary disciple," Li Changsheng said.

Niu asked, frowning, "We're friends."

"If the difference in status and position is too great, then we can't be friends," Li Changsheng said.

"I don't understand," Niu asked, shaking his head. "By the way, did you sign up for the Three Clans Martial Arts Tournament because you wanted to defeat Lu Changshou in front of everyone?"

Li Changsheng: "??"

When did I sign up for the Three Sects Martial Arts Tournament?

"No, when did I register?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

"I saw your name on the list," Niu asked in surprise. "Didn't you sign up yourself?"

Li Changsheng firmly shook his head and said, "No, I just want to focus on my cultivation and don't want to think about these things."

Which bastard signed him up?

How did he manage to register successfully without his identity token?

"I'll ask around for you when I get back," Niu said before leaving Nie Qiu's residence.

Li Changsheng frowned deeply. Who did this?

How could the Longevity Tree possibly participate in something as public and visible as the Three Clans Martial Arts Tournament?!

Should we just not go?

It seems that won't work. The Three Sects Martial Arts Tournament is extremely important to Lingxu Cave Heaven. Registering but not going up would be a serious crime.

Forget it, whoever did it, I'll just admit defeat when the time comes.

Even an immortal tree should keep a low profile and not attract too much attention, unless it is certain that the other party cannot break it.

Meanwhile, Niu Wen arrived at Bai Yuquan's residence.

Bai Yuquan had just finished his cultivation when he saw him return. He said, "I heard you left the Spirit Void Secret Realm to look for Li Changsheng? Why didn't you come back directly?"

"Master, I dare not come back!" Niu Wendao burst into tears on the spot, "Your disciple is wronged."

Bai Yuquan was taken aback, his face darkening: "What are you complaining about? Who bullied you?"

This is his disciple, an ancient demon genius!

How can we let ourselves be bullied?

"In the Spirit Void Secret Realm, Changchun tried to enslave me, but fortunately, my master gave me the means to save my life!"

Niu asked with a wronged expression, "I feel wronged but dare not speak. Changsheng taught me language. I am of lowly status, so I can confide my grievances. Only after confiding can I feel better and return to see my master."

"Entrap you?" Bai Yuquan's face was ugly and extremely gloomy. "How dare he do this? I will take you to find the sect leader right now."

"Master, please calm down." Niu Wendao quickly stopped Bai Yuquan and said, "It's nothing for your disciple to suffer a little. Changchun is the sect leader's disciple, and the sect leader will definitely favor him. In the end, nothing will be done."

Bai Yuquan's expression was complicated. "This ox is so considerate," he said.

Indeed, the sect leader would favor his own disciple, so his going there wouldn't have yielded any results.

"My good disciple, I'm useless. I've wronged you!" Bai Yuquan said heavily.

"Master, you have been very good to your disciple. I only want you to be happy and to cultivate well with you." Niu Wendao affectionately rubbed against Bai Yuquan's clothes.

Bai Yuquan was deeply moved. It was truly his good fortune to have such an ancient demon disciple!
