Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 61 Willow Tree Departs

After Li Changsheng poured cold water on his enthusiasm, Liu Wuyou gradually came to terms with reality.

She wasn't ready to give up and asked, "Is there any way to obtain a large amount of resources?"

"Unless you have exceptional talent and the bloodline of an ancient demon, like Niu Wendao," Li Changsheng said.

If Liu Wuyou truly possesses this talent, he can naturally enter the Xuantian Sect through the Qingxuan Cave.

But Liu Wuyou was just a willow tree with some good fortune.

If one had not happened to be rooted in the stone figure and stone finger, one might not have had the opportunity to gain spiritual intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation.

Liu Wuyou knew she didn't have the bloodline of an ancient demon, so she asked, "Is there any other way?"

"Other methods are all very dangerous."

Li Changsheng sighed, "The safest way is to refine pills and weapons to exchange for some resources, but that's far from enough."

"What if it's dangerous?" Liu Wuyou asked.

"Struggle," Li Changsheng said. "Go outside and compete with others, seize their resources."

"Is it okay if we don't compete?" Liu Wuyou asked.

"It's fine not to compete. Go out and find resources yourself. If you're lucky, you might find some that aren't owned."

"Unlucky me, I got captured by humans or other monsters."

Li Changsheng said, "The reason why those powerful monsters want to occupy mountains and become kings is for resources."

"Occupy a large mountain, and the resources of that mountain belong to the mountain demon king, whose subordinate demons will help them collect them."

"But even the Demon King isn't safe. There will always be stronger ones appearing, so safety comes first. Let's take it slow."

"I really envy Niu Wendao," Liu Wuyou said.

"I'm envious too," Li Changsheng sighed.

I don't have that kind of treatment; once my secret is exposed, I'll definitely become someone's meal.

As for Niu Wendao and other ancient demon geniuses, they will be nurtured and have the powerful Niu clan demons as their backers.

As long as you don't cause any major trouble and focus on your cultivation, you will definitely become a great demon king in the future.

Liu Wuyou asked, "Could we find someone to back us up?"

"We are not geniuses; those powerful beings and great demon kings will not accept us."

  

Li Changsheng shook his head.

"Then...we can only rely on ourselves?"

"Yes, we can only rely on ourselves because we are just ordinary people."

Both trees fell silent.

Li Changsheng didn't know what to say, and neither did Liu Wuyou.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Changsheng broke the silence: "Focus on your cultivation and don't think too much. Let's look for other methods. As long as we cultivate with peace of mind, we still have a chance to reach the Golden Core stage in the future."

"Will the Golden Elixir bring peace of mind?" Liu Wuyou asked.

Li Changsheng said, "It's possible in Lingxu Cave Heaven, provided that other places don't know about it. For example, there are Golden Core cultivators in Lingxu Cave Heaven now, but Wangyue has also become a Golden Core cultivator."

"This is our first concern," Liu Wuyou said, then asked, "Will there be even greater concerns in the future?"

Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know, maybe. After all, Lingxu Cave Heaven has already started to establish industries in Tianshui City."

In Tianshui City, offending even a Golden Core cultivator could bring disaster.

Gu Hengtong had only recently entered the Golden Core stage, while there were quite a few Golden Core cultivators in Tianshui City.

Although Qingxuan Cave Heaven is nearby, no one knows how long Niu Wendao's affection can last, and no one can guarantee it.

Liu Wuyou asked, "The Buddhist scriptures say that becoming a Buddha brings freedom from worry. Is that true?"

"It should be true, right?" Li Changsheng wasn't sure either.

He doesn't understand this world. In his previous life, there were a bunch of gods and Buddhas, including the Buddha himself. How could he truly be carefree?

It's laughable to think that a Qi Refining cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Tree Demon are discussing these things here.

"Then I want to become a Buddha," Liu Wuyou said.

"Then cultivate diligently," Li Changsheng said.

Liu Wuyou fell silent, and Li Changsheng, seeing that she was cultivating, no longer disturbed her.

He returned to his room to refine elixirs, and then began his cultivation.

This time, the resources are limited, not enough to refine even one batch of low-grade True Essence Pills.

However, the Qi Refining Pill can be refined in three batches.

After Li Changsheng finished refining it, he left a bottle for Liu Wuyou. He was still somewhat biased, after all, they were both tree spirits.

Liu Wuyou took the Qi-refining pill and began his cultivation.

Now, besides cultivating her spiritual practice, she sleeps and doesn't waste a single moment.

When the appointed day arrived, the man in yellow robes came to collect the elixir.

Li Changsheng gave him the pill, but Liu Wuyou spoke up: "Changsheng, I want to go to the world of demons."

"Why?" Li Changsheng asked, "Isn't it good here? Right now, it would be very dangerous for you to go to the demon world."

"I've been thinking about Niu Wendao's matter these past few days," Liu Wuyou said.

Li Changsheng was taken aback. Could it be that he had been infected by the calf?

"I understand your concerns, and I've figured it out too. That's why Niu asked why he didn't rush to leave, but instead resolved the matter before leaving."

"Liu Wuyou said."

"What did you understand?" Li Changsheng had a bad feeling.

"I am not an ancient demon, nor do I possess the talent of Niu Wendao, but I understand that when you have worries, you should try to resolve them."

Liu Wuyou's voice was no longer clear and melodious; it carried a hint of coldness.

"But we can't solve this problem," Li Changsheng said.

"Yes, we lack the ability," Liu Wuyou said. "I need to become capable. My natural talent is inferior to Niu Daowen's; I must work harder and cultivate more difficult techniques to surpass him!"

Li Changsheng's face twitched: "Why do you want to surpass him?"

"Because I don't want to be eaten by a cow again," Liu Wuyou said.

Li Changsheng: "..."

Are you holding a grudge?

"The world of demons has more resources. You once said that the law of the jungle is survival of the fittest."

Liu Wuyou said, "I know I am weak, but it is precisely because I am weak that I must become stronger."

Li Changsheng fell silent.

He was different from these monsters; he was immortal and could slowly accumulate strength, as long as no one threatened him.

But Liu Wuyou is different. If he cultivates step by step, it is hard to guarantee whether he can reach the Golden Core stage in this lifetime.

"Chang Sheng, let me go," Liu Wuyou said. "You said you'd protect you once we've become stronger, so I need to become stronger."

"Everyone has their own way, and I won't stop you."

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "But you are still weak now, so don't go too far. Remember to listen to what Huang Pao and the others have to say, and don't get into trouble you shouldn't. Otherwise, when I am powerless to help you, I will also run away and endure, and avenge you when I have the ability."

"I understand," Liu Wuyou said. "When I'm weak, I'll suffer the consequences."

Li Changsheng: "..."

You don't have to suffer the bitterness, as long as you can endure it and turn humiliation into motivation.

Unfortunately, Liu Wuyou and Huang Pao just couldn't get over the bitter gall.

Hopefully, in the future, those monsters will be able to keep their bitter gallbladders.

"Yellow Robe." Li Changsheng looked at the yellow robe beside him: "When Liu Wuyou goes to your mountain, you must take good care of her."

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I will definitely take good care of Grandma Liu," Huang Pao hurriedly replied.

Li Changsheng's lips twitched: "Just call her Liu Wuyou, why call her Grandma?"

Huang Pao thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "Grandma Liu and Second Uncle are of the same generation, so she should be called Grandma."

Liu Wuyou bowed slightly: "I will come back to see you. I'm just going out for a visit now; I won't go far."

"Go ahead, safety first. If you can't win, beg for mercy or run away. There's no shame in that," Li Changsheng reminded him again.

"I understand. Even the Moon Gazing Demon King could swallow his pride and run away. I'm not even as good as the Moon Gazing Demon King now," Liu Wuyou said.

In his previous lectures, Li Changsheng often used the Moon Gazing Demon King as a teaching material.

Even a dignified demon king can run away, so why are you, a mere demon, being so stubborn?

"Chang Sheng, I will remember why you named me Wuyou!"

Li Changsheng: "??"
