Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 6 Ancient Demon Green Ox

Six months later.

Half a year has passed since the sect leader accepted Changchun as his genius disciple.

The library is filled with more and more books, especially cultivation methods for the demon race.

Li Changsheng used the locust tree demon's cultivation method every day to record hundreds of demon cultivation techniques, attempting to modify the Lingxu Xuan Gong.

After countless failures, I finally modified the method to suit myself two months ago.

Compared to profound techniques, it may be insignificant, but it's enough for someone at the Qi Refining Realm.

In half a year, he successfully entered the fourth level of Qi Refining, and is now in the late stage of the fourth level.

Now that the method has been improved, the speed of cultivation is no less than that of ordinary disciples, and the future path of cultivation will be smooth.

He looked through many demon cultivation methods and found that demon cultivators had powerful physiques, all of which relied on spiritual power to nourish themselves.

Combining the secret manuals in the library, he figured out a body-refining method of his own, which required a lot of nutrients. He planned to accumulate some before starting his cultivation.

On this day, Li Changsheng arrived at the prison as usual.

Changqing and Changzai had just arrived and went to the interrogation room together.

Li Changsheng scanned the cells and saw a solitary cell containing a small blue ox that looked to be only a few months old.

The little blue ox was squinting at him.

Their eyes met, and the little green ox immediately closed its eyes.

Li Changsheng sensed something was wrong. All the other demons were asleep, so why was this little green ox awake?

Was he awakened by someone?

Upon entering the interrogation room, Li Changsheng asked, "Senior Brother Nie, why is there a calf locked in that cell?"

"It was caught by the disciples outside. It seems that this green ox has damaged a field of spiritual herbs."

Nie Qiu replied, "Want to eat beef? No problem, I'll catch some right away."

"Ahem, no, I'm just a little curious," Li Changsheng said.

"Destroying a medicinal herb field is a grave sin, and I happen to be craving some beef," Nie Qiu said. "I noticed it as soon as I came in."

Alright, Brother Green Ox, you can't blame me for your death.

Nie Qiu left the interrogation room and went straight to Little Green Ox's cell, dragging it out.

Just as they were about to hang him on the iron hook in the interrogation room, Li Changsheng said, "Senior brother, don't torture him yet, put him down first."

Nie Qiu asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because it's awake, but pretending to be asleep," Li Changsheng said.

"Awake?" Nie Qiu was startled and retreated rapidly.

The little ox was also startled by the noise and opened its eyes. It looked around blankly, and when it saw the instruments of torture, its eyes were filled with fear.

"He's awake after all. This young man is quite capable; he's taken the medicine and still awake?" Nie Qiu exclaimed in surprise, "A Foundation Establishment level demon?"

Almost everyone imprisoned here is given sleeping pills; unless they endure excruciating pain, they are unlikely to wake up.

"Let me ask it first." After saying this, Li Changsheng asked in the common language of the demon race, "How did your cultivation method awaken your sentience? Tell me truthfully."

The little blue ox looked at him blankly, unable to understand.

Li Changsheng frowned. Another bumpkin?

Even after using the language of the bull demon, the little green ox remained bewildered.

Li Changsheng scratched his head. Could it be that he's the type to be stubborn?

Nie Qiu said, "Is it stubborn?"

"Possibly," Li Changsheng said thoughtfully.

"Then use torture." Nie Qiu picked up the rattan whip beside him.

The little blue ox was so frightened that it lay on the ground, trembling, and uttered strange syllables: "&...*...%".

Nie Qiu was taken aback and turned to look at Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Senior brother, this ancient demon is asking us why we captured it."

The green ox also asked a question, which was that it felt a sense of closeness from him.

Li Changsheng decisively ignored the question!

"Ancient demon language?" Nie Qiu was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with wild joy: "This is an ancient demon cub?"

Ancient demons inherit ancient bloodlines; the stronger the bloodline, the more terrifying their innate talents!

Those who can inherit the ancient demon language are generally not bad!

"Are you an ancient demon? Why did you destroy the medicinal herb field?" Li Changsheng asked in a deep voice.

The little blue ox lay on the ground, "I'm hungry, I want to eat, but I didn't know it was for you."

"Senior brother, it's just hungry. It doesn't know it's our medicinal herb field," Li Changsheng said.

"Ask it where its parents are?" Nie Qiu said in a low voice.

If the parents were alive, they would definitely have to return it respectfully.

A fully grown ancient demon is definitely not something that their Lingxu Cave Heaven can afford to provoke.

If the calf's parents came looking for them and saw a pile of bones, they would surely kill them with a single hoof kick.

When Li Changsheng asked, the little green ox replied blankly, "I don't know. I've never seen my parents. I was born in the mountains, and when I was hungry, I ate wild grass and wild fruits..."

The little ox woke up in the mountains as a cub and never saw its parents. It always found wild grass and fruits to eat.

"How old are you?" Li Changsheng asked.

"All I know is that three years have passed since I woke up," said the little green ox.

Three years, but he was only a few months old.

Nie Qiu listened to his retelling and said, "The ancient demon bloodline is powerful, but its growth is relatively slow. You wait here while I go and report."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Li Changsheng continued, "Do you understand the methods of cultivation?"

"All it knows is to inhale and exhale spiritual energy, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon." The green ox said, "Immortal Master, this humble demon truly did not know that it was your spiritual herb field. Please spare this humble demon."

"Whether I let you go or not is not up to me," Li Changsheng sighed. "Someone from the sect will come later. As an ancient demon, they should not kill you."

Ancient demons with parents must be returned to their owners.

If someone has no parents, isn't it better to raise them than to kill them?

If properly nurtured, it will become a demon king-level guardian beast in the future.

Killing it for meat is pointless; it's just a cub, what good is it?

The little blue ox remained silent, saying nothing.

Half an hour later, Nie Qiu arrived with an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face. The old man asked with a kind smile, "You must be Li Changsheng?"

"Yes, greetings, senior." Li Changsheng quickly bowed, not knowing the other party's identity, he could only address him as senior.

"This is Elder Bai Yuquan from Lingjian Peak," Nie Qiu quickly introduced.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "This green ox has no father or mother? Does it understand cultivation?"

"It only knows how to absorb spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and moon," Li Changsheng replied respectfully. "According to what you've said, the Azure Ox is only three years old."

"Only three years old?" Bai Yuquan's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Ask him if he would like to become this elder's disciple."

Li Changsheng was taken aback and quickly helped to inquire.

The little blue ox was also taken aback, and for a moment it didn't know how to answer.

Becoming an apprentice?

Li Changsheng said in the ancient demon language, "If you want to live, you'd better agree to become my disciple."

"What is taking on a master?" the little green ox asked.

Bai Yuquan asked urgently, "Does this ancient demon agree?"

"This green ox is too young to understand the meaning of becoming a disciple, so I will explain it to it," Li Changsheng said.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuquan felt relieved and his expression became even more satisfied.

An ancient demon that knows nothing—that's what makes a good ancient demon.

Only by nurturing such ancient demons can they become close to one's own being.

As for keeping them as mounts or pets?

Let's forget about it then. Bai Yuquan doesn't think he has that ability; he's content with just taking on disciples.

"After becoming an apprentice, the elders will guide your cultivation and provide you with cultivation resources. You won't have to go out and suffer hunger. If you are bullied in the future, you can seek help from the elders."

Li Changsheng said.

Upon hearing this, the Green Ox nodded repeatedly and immediately bowed, saying, "This humble demon is willing to pay respects to Master."

"Ahem, you've bowed to the wrong person. This is your master." Li Changsheng pointed to Bai Yuquan.

The green ox hurriedly kowtowed to Bai Yuquan, who stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Good, good. From now on, your master will definitely train you to become a great demon king who attains the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation Pill!"

Others may not dare to say it, but an ancient demon, as long as it is not incorrigibly stupid, can definitely become a Golden Elixir.

Li Changsheng felt a pang of envy; his own status was far superior to that of the ancient demon…

Forget about becoming his apprentice, let's tear him apart right here and see if he really can live forever.

Bai Yuquan casually tossed a porcelain bottle to Li Changsheng: "A top-grade Qi Refining Pill. This elder will take my disciple and leave now."

After saying that, he led the blue ox away.

"Soaring to the heavens!" Nie Qiu said enviously.

"Yes," Li Changsheng said enviously.

They're all demons, so why is there such a huge difference in their treatment?
