Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 56 No matter how you look at it, the sect is the safest.

"Goujian's humiliation is like your inability to defeat others—that kind of despair, humiliation, and anger."

"But Goujian endured it. He secretly accumulated... well, yes, he ate bitter gall to remind himself of this humiliation."

"Never mind whose courage it is, just endure the hardship. Only by cultivating diligently and gaining strength can you take revenge."

Li Changsheng taught with great care, but how did he know whose gallbladder it was?

When Goujian was eating, he didn't invite him.

After teaching them this knowledge, I then taught them how to cultivate themselves.

The yellow-robed demon was quite talented; his farts could stun cultivators of the same level.

Even if someone is a level above him, they still can't stand the stench.

Because of this skill, Huang Pao was often ridiculed by other monsters.

Li Changsheng taught, "No matter what skill you have, a good skill is one that can save your life and defeat your enemy."

In the world of cultivation and combat, survival is the most important thing.

"Look at those tiger demons and leopard spirits, weren't they all soaked in wine and eaten?"

Li Changsheng said, "And how many people have you seen catching weasels, soaking them in wine, and eating the meat?"

"Second Uncle is right." Receiving the praise, the man in the yellow robe beamed with joy, and his chest straightened a little.

Let them focus on their practice and rest in the courtyard. They can also discuss things with each other in the evening.

Li Changsheng also shared some of the cultivation methods he had researched with them for reference.

It would be even better if one could find a suitable method of cultivation from the books he gave.

The two monsters studied diligently, but they couldn't understand some human idioms and needed to be explained to them carefully.

After Li Changsheng finished refining the elixir and completing his cultivation, he began to teach them.

The weasel and Liu Wuyou are learning more and more about humankind.

A month later, the two monsters had made great progress.

I'm finally not going to use idioms incorrectly anymore, and some principles have been deeply ingrained in my heart.

Li Changsheng also began refining high-grade pills, learning about various medicinal herbs and the parts of monsters that could be used in medicine.

  

Occasionally, I would go down to the medicinal herb fields to check on them. The plants were not growing very well, but I did learn how to cultivate them.

Lingxu Cave also produces spiritual water containing spiritual energy, which is sprinkled on spiritual herbs to help them grow.

These spiritual waters are only effective for plants and animals that have not yet embarked on a path of cultivation.

It wouldn't be of much use to Liu Wuyou, since a demon capable of cultivation absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is better than spiritual water.

The two demons also followed suit and learned from him; the one in the yellow robe was very interested in becoming an alchemist.

Li Changsheng was generous in passing on this skill to him.

Liu Wuyou wasn't very interested in alchemy; he was much more interested in weapon crafting.

The two demons studied diligently, while the man in the yellow robe would occasionally return to check on the little demons.

Life went on peacefully, and before you knew it, three months had passed.

Li Changsheng successfully refined a low-grade True Essence Pill. His foundation was solid, and as a tree demon, he possessed keen senses, allowing him to perfectly process the medicinal properties.

Low-grade True Essence Pill, a pill used by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

To reach the Golden Core realm, one needs a mid-grade True Essence Pill.

After all the pills were refined, I kept six for myself to consume in my cultivation.

After months of instruction, Huangpao is practically half a person now.

Liu Wuyou also learned a lot and deeply understood his true teachings.

Just as he was about to continue teaching, Nie Qiu arrived.

"Senior brother, you've returned from Tianshui City?" Li Changsheng quickly invited him into the house.

Nie Qiu smiled and said, "I just got back and heard you came to the Pill Meridian, so I came to see how your skills are progressing."

"I've already refined a low-grade True Essence Pill," Li Changsheng said. "Did you gain anything from your trip to Tianshui City, Senior Brother?"

"I've certainly learned a lot."

Nie Qiu said, "That's the real good place. There are many weapon refiners and alchemists there, and they all have some status and are respected."

"That Tianshui City is a good place for you, Senior Brother," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"Yes, I've also been thinking about moving to Tianshui City," Nie Qiu said longingly.

Li Changsheng asked, "Will you come back, Senior Brother? After all, you're going to become an elder."

"Only after going out do you realize how vast the world is," Nie Qiu said. "Our Lingxu Cave Heaven is nothing in Tianshui City. It's hard to imagine what the Xuantian Sect is like."

At this point, he added, "There are more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators in Tianshui City, and a dragon in the Northern Heavenly River, but it's a pity I haven't had the honor of meeting them."

"A dragon really exists?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

"It is true. That dragon is known as the Northern Heavenly Dragon Lord. He has built a dragon palace in the river. Only those who have reached the Golden Core stage are qualified to enter the dragon palace and discuss the Dao with him."

Nie Qiu looked on with longing: "I've heard that the Dragon Palace is full of treasures, and those who can enter the Dragon Palace all reap great rewards."

"When you achieve the Golden Core stage in the future, you will also be able to discuss the Dao with the Northern Heavenly Dragon Lord," Li Changsheng said.

"Haha, I wonder if I'll ever have the chance in this lifetime," Nie Qiu laughed, then his face darkened. "I also heard some news over there."

Seeing his strange expression, Li Changsheng asked, "What news? Is it trouble?"

"The Moon-Gazing Demon King!" Nie Qiu said in a low voice, "That Moon-Gazing Demon King went to the Northern Heavenly River, occupied a section of the river and became king. I heard that he is about to undergo tribulation and achieve the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation Pill."

"He went to Tianshui City? And he hasn't even reached the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation Realm yet?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

"You still hope he can reach the Golden Core stage soon?" Nie Qiu rolled his eyes at him, his face showing worry. "I'm afraid Wang Yue won't forget what happened before and will come back to take revenge on us."

"I don't think so. Our Lingxu Cave Heaven also has Golden Core cultivators, and the three sects are now at peace," Li Changsheng said.

"When Wangyue fled in panic, she missed out on eating Niu Wendao, and she has held a grudge ever since."

Nie Qiu said in a deep voice, "There are rumors that the monsters of the Northern Heavenly River laugh at Wang Yue for being cowardly, saying that he was scared out of his wits by a bull demon who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage."

"He's been stimulated," Li Changsheng said.

Mochizuki may not want to come back for revenge, but the demons around him look down on him. If he can't stand their words, he might really come back.

"Why did you leave when you were looking at the moon?" Li Changsheng asked. "Didn't you already know about the Xuantian Sect?"

If they knew about the Xuantian Sect, even if Wangyue had a lot of guts, she wouldn't dare to come back.

"No, it's just that Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Shuiyue Cave Heaven joined forces, leaving no chance. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he dare to linger any longer?"

Nie Qiu said, "It's better to be safe than sorry."

"What you say makes sense, senior brother. Has this matter been reported to the sect leader?" Li Changsheng asked.

"The elder has already reported this. Be careful when you go out in the future. Even if Wangyue returns, it will still take some time. This is just a reminder to you," Nie Qiu said.

Li Changsheng nodded: "I've got it. Thank you for informing me, Senior Brother. What's next, Senior Brother?"

"I want to go to Tianshui City. Our sect also has some businesses there."

Nie Qiu asked, "Are you interested in coming with me?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Changsheng said, "I won't go for now; I'll stay at the sect."

Lingxu Cave Heaven is still peaceful now, and there are still little demons like Huangpao to teach.

Wang Yue might not come over, and besides, he's currently near Tianshui City. Why should I go there myself when he hasn't even arrived yet?

It's best to stay here and cultivate peacefully. Then, have the yellow-robed figure instruct the lesser demons to keep an eye on the situation.

If Wangyue really returns, let Lingxu Cave Heaven be prepared.

Surely a newly awakened Moon Gazing Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to overthrow three sects?

The Azure Profound Cave Heaven is unassuming and relies on the Profound Heaven Sect; there must be more than one Golden Core cultivator within the sect.

No matter how I look at it, it's safer to stay here.
