Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 55 Whose gall did Goujian eat?

"Alright, alright, is there anything else besides the book?" Li Changsheng asked.

"When the King left, he told me to obey the Second Master's orders from now on."

The man in the yellow robe bowed and said, "We have been cultivating in the mountains, and Second Master has not given any instructions. So we have come to inquire whether Second Master has any plans to ascend the mountain to become king and expand his territory?"

"No," Li Changsheng quickly replied, "The Monster Survival Guide is meant to help you cultivate in peace and learn to restrain your sharpness and alluring qualities, so that you can survive in the long run."

"Indeed, only I can grasp the true meaning of Second Master's teachings; they are utterly incompetent," the man in the yellow robe exclaimed excitedly.

Li Changsheng had a bad feeling and asked, "What did they realize?"

Will it end up like the story of Niu Wendao?

You're just a bunch of ordinary little demons!

"That rabbit spirit said that as long as he was useless enough, humans wouldn't need him, and I almost gave up my cultivation."

The man in the yellow robe said, "Fortunately, I realized the truth in time and reprimanded him."

Li Changsheng: "..."

What a clever rabbit! Its mind is the complete opposite of that of the ox.

"Cultivate peacefully and avoid trouble, but if any people or monsters bully you, within your capabilities, remember to eliminate them completely."

Li Changsheng said solemnly.

"Cut the weeds out completely?" The man in the yellow robe scratched his head. "They're bullying us, why should I cut the weeds out?"

Li Changsheng: "..."

Should I choose a new king?

Your brain is only slightly better than a rabbit spirit's.

"Go back and make arrangements. Come to Lingxu Cave tomorrow to find me. I will teach you some skills and principles," Li Changsheng said.

  

If he doesn't teach him, with Huangpao's brains alone, he'll probably be killed once Niu Wendao's feelings for him fade.

It's hard to imagine how he survived to this age.

"Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Uncle."

The man in the yellow robe was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude.

The man in the yellow robe left happily. Li Changsheng sighed softly and said, "They're both demons, so why is there such a huge difference?"

Liu Wuyou said solemnly, "I also think that cutting the grass is wrong."

Li Changsheng looked at her intently. Could it be that Niu Wendao had chewed on her leaves and made her stupid?

Why are you all so fixated on this grass?

"You can focus on your spiritual practice; I'll go prepare some books."

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to go to Zhongyang City to buy some human books.

Nothing too advanced, just simple ones, including some idioms and word annotations.

We must reform the Yellow Robe and then send him back to teach those monsters.

How is being exhausted and overworked connected with being completely drained and emotionally drained?

What could possibly be the connection between these two things?

Upon arriving in Zhongyang City, I bought a bunch of basic human books.

Poetry is out of the question; it's too advanced for them.

The next day, Huang Pao arrived early, still completely covered up.

"Now that we're here, let's drop the pretense," Li Changsheng said.

"Yes, Second Master." The man in the yellow robe bowed respectfully, appearing quite respectable.

Li Changsheng led him to Liu Wuyou's side and asked, "Niu Wendao, did you learn any cultivation methods from him?"

"No." The man in the yellow robe shook his head. "The king said that after he returns from his studies, he will teach us the cultivation methods and lead us to become great demons."

"I have a cultivation method. You can practice it first, and then exchange it when your king returns."

Li Changsheng studied many cultivation methods, not just those based on plants.

"Thank you very much, Second Master, for imparting the Dharma." The man in the yellow robe bowed deeply in gratitude.

He had Huang Pao move a small stool and sit next to Liu Wuyou, and Li Changsheng began to teach them how to read, write, and use idioms.

"On the first day, learn how to be meticulous, unforgettable, and eradicate completely!"

Li Changsheng was very strict; he didn't want to hear anything like "testicles crushed and semen exhausted" again.

The man in the yellow robe shuddered in fright and immediately began to study diligently.

Liu Wuyou was also very serious. These two monsters were the obedient type, much less troublesome than a calf.

The yellow-robed figure was still a little unaccustomed to holding a pen, but it also possessed spiritual power and could write normally.

The two monsters finally understood the meaning of "cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots"—it wasn't about actually cutting the weeds, but rather a metaphor.

"Second Master, what if we can't beat them?" the man in the yellow robe asked.

"If you can't beat them, just focus on your cultivation. Wait until you can beat them before seeking revenge," Li Changsheng said.

The man in the yellow robe said, "But when His Majesty was alive, he said that a person who stands tall and upright cannot retreat a single step; one must kill until the enemy trembles in fear, and grudges should not be left unresolved overnight!"

This is different from what the King taught us.

"Your king is an ancient demon genius with powerful backing. How can he be compared to you?"

Li Changsheng glared at him and said, "Now that Niu Wendao is not here, you can only rely on yourselves."

"We still have our second uncle," said the man in the yellow robe.

Li Changsheng's expression changed slightly, and he said seriously, "I am just an ordinary person with average talent and cultivation. You can't expect me to protect you. You must cultivate diligently so that you can protect me in the future. Do you understand?"

This needs to be made clear, lest we use his name to provoke someone we shouldn't.

Imagine a weasel shouting at several masters: "My second uncle, Li Changsheng, will kill you in a minute."

At that time, they won't even know how they died!

"I understand." The man in the yellow robe nodded emphatically. "I will definitely cultivate diligently and protect Second Master in the future."

"That's more like it." Li Changsheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "When you're lacking in yourself, you should learn to endure hardship and bide your time..."

The man in the yellow robe said excitedly, "Second Uncle, I know that. Eating the gallbladders of those spirit snakes can indeed increase one's cultivation level."

Li Changsheng: "..."

Your understanding seems to make some sense?

If your strength is insufficient, eat snake gall to improve your cultivation...

What kind of logic is that!

"Enduring hardship and biding one's time is the story of a king in the human world..."

"It's not in this book..."

"I forgot to buy that book."

"Second Uncle is really exploiting timber..."

"Very knowledgeable!"

Li Changsheng taught him patiently. If it weren't for Niu Wendao's sake, he really wouldn't want to bother with this idiot.

Why would I be peeling wood for no reason?

I'm a tree spirit too!

With a sigh, he continued teaching Huang Pao and Liu Wuyou.

After a whole day of teaching, the weasel finally understood the meaning of these idioms.

He glanced at Liu Wuyou, who was studying diligently, and asked, "Wuyou, do you have any questions?"

Liu Wuyou pondered, "I'm wondering, whose gall did Goujian eat? He eats it every time he sleeps, no wonder his cultivation level increased so quickly."

Did you actually listen attentively in class?

"Enduring hardship and biding one's time" was supposed to be a morning class, but it's already afternoon, and you're still thinking about it?

"Let me explain it to you again. I apologize for making it too complicated."

Li Changsheng sighed and could only tell Liu Wuyou the story again.

The man in the yellow robe would occasionally chime in, indicating that he had been paying attention in class and had already understood the material.

Liu Wuyou finally understood: "I get it. From now on, I will also try my best and cultivate diligently."

"I'll get a few when I get back," the man in the yellow robe said firmly.

Li Changsheng: "..."

Why don't you all just get out of here?

When you go out in the future, you must remind them not to say that they are the demons you trained.

This is such a disgrace to the tree!
