Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 47 The Cultivation Method of Changchun

"Hey, how come the sect leader isn't dead yet?"

Nie Qiu returned to the blacksmith shop, muttering to himself.

"The sect leader still has twenty or thirty years left to live, how can he die so soon?" Li Changsheng rolled his eyes.

Now, Nie Qiu almost every day longs for the passing of the Lingxu Sect Leader.

"Unfortunately, Qingxuan Cave Heaven is not helping us," Nie Qiu sighed.

Li Changsheng was speechless. Who would hope that another sect would kill their own sect leader?

Although, he also hoped that the Lingxu Sect Leader would die soon.

Is it really okay for you to say it so directly?

"Right now, most of the disciples of Lingxu Cave Heaven are hoping for their sect leader's passing, but alas, the Golden Core cultivators!"

Nie Qiu sighed deeply.

The Golden Elixir Returning to the Core realm is far beyond the Foundation Establishment realm, and there is also a Grand Elder who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Li Changsheng said, "We can't push them too far now, otherwise, if the sect leader recklessly goes on a killing spree, it won't be good for anyone."

The sect leader of Qingxuan Cave Heaven would not risk his life against a Golden Core cultivator whose lifespan is nearing its end.

They have long lifespans; they can live peacefully for another twenty or thirty years, and the Lingxu Sect Leader will die on his own.

"If I were the sect leader, I would have taken Changchun and run away long ago. Otherwise, once he passes away, there will be no one to protect Changchun," Nie Qiu said.

"Let's wait a little longer, we still have a long life ahead of us," Li Changsheng said.

"That's true, that old guy can't outlast us." Nie Qiu nodded and casually tossed him a bottle of high-grade Qi Refining Pills: "Here's what I earned today, take it and use it."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Changsheng accepted the Qi Refining Pill without ceremony and went to cultivate underground.

  

Niu Wen asked Xiao Yao to bring him the corpse of a Foundation Establishment stage demon and a hundred drops of Xuanling Liquid.

What a fine calf!

Unfortunately, he hasn't yet figured out the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation method.

He absorbed the essence of blood and flesh, and the superior Qi Refining Pill, and began cultivating again.

While Li Changsheng was in seclusion, things were getting increasingly chaotic outside.

Niu Wendao led the little demons in a massive revenge against the three major families, joining forces with the City Lord's Mansion, and Shuiyue Cave also contributed its efforts.

As for Qingxuan Cave Heaven, it only secretly protected Niu Wendao and did not exert much effort.

It took half a year to wipe the three major families out of Zhongyang City.

Even in Lingxu Cave Heaven, there are daily battles. It is said that some elders have died in internal strife, but it is unknown which faction the elders belonged to.

Furthermore, the injuries sustained by the sect leader when he was brought back to Changchun have not healed and have instead worsened.

Upon hearing the news, Nie Qiu got drunk that very night to celebrate.

The sect leader was aware of his physical condition and wanted to negotiate with the other elders, saying that as long as Changchun was not harmed, it would be fine.

The condition was simple, but Bai Yuquan refused.

How could I let it go when my own apprentice was gone just like that?

However, he also understood that if this continued, Lingxu Cave would be finished.

In the end, Bai Yuquan had no choice but to compromise.

The question of who will succeed as the next leader has become a problem.

Changming, the disciple of the Grand Elder?

Bai Yuquan wouldn't agree, and the other elders weren't without disciples.

If we can't reach an agreement in one talk, then we'll talk it out several more times.

However, Niu Wendao chose to return to Lingxu Cave Heaven at this time.

As a result, Lingxu Cave Heaven became lively again. Bai Yuquan was moved to tears and immediately decided to fight for his disciple and compete for the position of sect leader.

The sect leader wished he could kill Niu Wendao, but dared not make a move.

Even if we could kill him, we couldn't. Otherwise, Bai Yuquan would fight him to the death, and Qingxuan Cave Heaven wouldn't let him go either.

Niu Wendao, on the other hand, became more low-key and instead advised Bai Yuquan to focus on his cultivation and not compete for the sect leader position.

Furthermore, he took the initiative to step forward and inform the entire sect that, as an ancient demon, he was not qualified to serve as the sect leader.

Even a half-demon from Changchun couldn't do it, so how could this ancient demon possibly succeed?

After saying this, Niu Wendao gained a lot of goodwill.

And so, Niu Wendao settled down in Lingxu Cave Heaven with peace of mind, and Nie Qiu also returned home.

Li Changsheng is still in seclusion cultivating below the blacksmith's shop. Niu Wendao is unlikely to let this go so easily; he will probably cause trouble again.

When Niu asked about the first year after returning home, everything was peaceful.

The following year, the sect leader's injuries suddenly worsened, and he was nearing the end of his life.

In the third year, the Grand Elder Gu Hengtong suddenly broke through to the Golden Core realm, killed the sect leader with a palm strike, and imprisoned Changchun.

This happened so suddenly that no one expected it.

Following that, the Grand Elder endured years of hardship and bided his time, all to stabilize the Lingxu Cave Heaven and prevent it from falling apart.

Previously, Niu Wendao was injured by a sneak attack, which was also mentioned by the Grand Elder. It was arranged by Changchun. It was thought that Niu Wendao would surely die under the influence of the Foundation Establishment magic weapon.

But no one expected that Li Changsheng would lose a sword, causing the arrow to deviate; otherwise, Niu Wendao would definitely not have been able to block it.

Because of this incident, Bai Yuquan made a huge scene and could no longer take action.

If Niu Wendao is killed directly, it may leave hidden dangers and affect Changchun's future control of Lingxu Cave.

At this time, the Moon-Gazing Demon King came to Changchun, saying that he had a method to refine the bloodline of ancient demons, but they had to be alive.

Changchun also wanted to improve his bloodline and enhance his natural talent, so he agreed.

The Changchun father and son did not want to bear the infamy of colluding with the demon king. Since the incident with the hidden arrow, Bai Yuquan had given Niu Wendao a large number of protective treasures, making it difficult for them to make a move.

Within the sect, there were indeed many elders who supported Niu Wendao and disliked Changchun.

The best way is to ruin Niu Wendao's reputation, making people think that his demonic nature is hard to shake off, so that he can be manipulated at will.

Thus, the Moon-Gazing Demon King came, and with the added rumors, it became clear that Niu Wendao colluded with the Moon-Gazing Demon King, and incidentally dragged the Water Moon Cave Heaven into the mess.

Everything went smoothly, so we directly captured Niu Wendao and enjoyed him with the Moon Gazing Demon King.

After hearing Li Changsheng's words, Ke Niu realized he had prepared too many ways to save his life and ran away immediately.

Then, with the help of Qingxuan Cave Heaven, their plan failed again.

Now, the Grand Elder has gone into seclusion, and all the elders have elected Bai Yuquan as the new sect leader, establishing a rule that the sect leader cannot accept disciples.

The next sect leader can only succeed to the position with the consent of most of the elders.

The Grand Elder, Gu Hengtong, served as a first-generation elder and did not interfere in sect affairs.

When Li Changsheng heard this news, he was also a little confused. How could it be that Bai Yuquan and the Grand Elder would ultimately benefit?

However, this also brought peace to Lingxu Cave Heaven.

Li Changsheng sat cross-legged in the blacksmith's shop. After three years of cultivation, he had already perfected both Qi refining and body tempering.

Even if he stands still now, a Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to do anything to him unless they use a mid-grade Foundation Establishment artifact.

The next step is to lay the foundation!

He still had a lot of blood and flesh essence in his body. In the past three years, Niu Wendao had been sending him monster corpses every now and then.

He also received the Xuanling Liquid without interruption. It can be said that he received more resources than any disciple of the three major sects.

"Immortality".

A call came, and Niu Wendao stepped into the blacksmith's shop. The calf that had entered the Foundation Establishment stage could already transform into human form, with only some features that could not be removed.

For example, the hair on its body and the horns on its head.

Although young, he was very robust, not at all like a handsome young man.

Moreover, his eyes had lost their innocence; the experiences of the past few years had finally matured this calf.

"Now that things are settled, shouldn't you be leaving?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Yes," Niu said in a low voice, "My master becoming the sect leader has fulfilled his wish, and I have repaid his kindness."

"Is the death of the Lingxu Sect Leader related to you?" Li Changsheng asked.

"The poison was given by Qingxuan Cave Heaven," Niu Wendao said without hiding anything. "I insisted on dealing with the sect leader before leaving, and they had no choice but to agree."

"Elder, don't you hate him?" Li Changsheng asked.

"It's not really about hatred. Besides, Lingxu Cave Heaven does need a Golden Elixir Pill to oversee things, and my master is still lacking one."

Of all those elders, the Grand Elder is the most suitable. With the sect leader dead, he will become the leader of the other faction.

Niu Wendao sighed softly, "For this, I owe Qingxuan Cave Heaven a favor, which I will have to repay in the future."

"You owe more than just one favor," Li Changsheng said calmly.

Without the help of Qingxuan Cave, Niu Wendao would still be on the run.

Niu Wen asked after a moment of silence, then opened his storage bag and took out a manual: "This is what you wanted, the cultivation method of Changchun."

Li Changsheng took it and glanced at it: "I didn't expect you to remember."
