Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 63 Demonic Cultivation Techniques

The name "Worry-Free" is simply meant to make you live a carefree life. What else could it mean?

Liu Wuyou and Huang Pao left, departing from Lingxu Cave and heading towards the mountaintop.

The man in the yellow robe carried her underground and couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Liu, why did Second Uncle name you Wuyou (meaning 'Worry-Free')?"

"Because only by resolving worries can one be free from worries," Liu Wuyou said.

"What do you mean?"

"It means, whoever makes me worry, I'll kill!"

Liu Wuyou said coldly, "Only when all the things that worry me are gone can I truly be free from worry."

The man in the yellow robe paused, then asked, "Is that really what you mean, Second Master?"

Are you misunderstanding something?

"Of course, Your Majesty, Niu Wendao was also taught by your second uncle."

Liu Wuyou said, "Think about Niu Wendao's deeds. When he gained strength, when did he ever let Changchun go? He wasn't ruthless enough; he didn't kill Changchun sooner."

"Now that you mention it, Grandma Liu really does resemble the King somewhat."

  

The man in the yellow robe scratched his head: "Could it be that I've misunderstood something?"

"You're right. Ordinary monsters can only live a long life by focusing on their cultivation and avoiding disasters."

Liu Wuyou said, "But this way, we cannot protect immortality."

"Then what should we do?" the man in the yellow robe asked.

"From today onwards, I will become an extraordinary demon, cultivate the most difficult techniques, and become the strongest demon!" Liu Wuyou declared firmly.

The man in the yellow robe said admiringly, "Grandma Liu looks even more imposing than the King."

Liu Wuyou tucked the branches away: "You had the servants collect scriptures. Those scriptures contain cultivation methods that are far more powerful than ours."

"Grandma Liu, do you have any scriptures you'd like? Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, or even those from the demonic path?" the man in the yellow robe asked.

"We'll get whatever we can," Liu Wuyou said.

They are weak and have no choice.

The man in the yellow robe nodded and said, "I will send my men to search, but they can only get incomplete information, sometimes just fragments."

"As long as it's scripture, it's useful. Sometimes even just a few words can be enlightening," Liu Wuyou said.

Like this Buddhist scripture passage, although it was only two pages long, it gave her a lot of inspiration.

"What a coincidence! A couple of days ago, Rabbit Spirit Erbai said that there was an ape with a fragmented demonic scripture called something like the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Technique."

The man in the yellow robe said, "He was originally a demonic cultivator who was being hunted down and perished in his territory. He found it, but only half of it was there."

During the conversation, the two monsters had already returned to the hill.

The man in the yellow robe immediately summoned his lesser demons and introduced Liu Wuyou to them.

"This is Grandma Liu, Second Uncle's junior sister. She will be joining us from now on." The man in the yellow robe said solemnly, "When you see Grandma Liu, you must be as respectful as when you see Second Uncle. Do not overstep the bounds of etiquette."

"Greetings, Grandma Liu." The little demons quickly bowed.

"Erbai, has the demonic scripture arrived yet?" the man in the yellow robe asked.

"It's here, it's here!" a fat rabbit hurriedly said. "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I'll fetch it right away."

After saying that, he skipped and hopped back to his cave.

The demons also took out their collections and contributed them to Liu Wuyou.

Liu Wuyou refused. They were all minor demons, and cultivation was not easy for them. She had not come to ask for their resources.

Soon, the rabbit spirit brought out a tattered manual and handed it to Liu Wuyou: "Grandma Liu, this is the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Technique."

"Thank you," Liu Wuyou said, eagerly flipping through the pages.

The Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Technique is an orthodox demonic cultivation method.

They extract the essence of human flesh and blood, and even the flesh and blood of demons, and even their cultivation, to enhance themselves.

Strengthen yourself with the power of all spirits.

However, it is too incomplete, so one can only cultivate up to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Grandma Liu, we can't cultivate this technique, so let's keep it and offer it to Second Uncle," said the man in the yellow robe.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wuyou said, "I will make a copy, and then give me a quiet place. I want to go into seclusion."

"Grandma Liu, come to my cave, and I'll build a wooden house for you," the man in the yellow robe said hastily.

"Alright." Liu Wuyou tapped the branch and followed the man in the yellow robe into the wooden house.

He rooted himself directly to the ground, using spiritual power to control the ink and copy the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Mantra.

"If the method of refining essence mentioned by Changsheng can be combined with the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique, it may not be impossible to develop a method of demon cultivation."

"The cultivation method passed down by the immortals, combined with this Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique, can barely be put into operation."

Liu Wuyou copied the notes while pondering them.

If one could cultivate the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique and directly extract the essence of cultivators and demons, then that could replace resources.

As a tree spirit, it already possesses the ability to absorb nutrients from flesh and blood. If it can comprehend the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique, it can enhance its absorption method.

This method must not be known to the Yellow Robe and his men, otherwise, they might feel uneasy about it.

Li Changsheng is a professor who said, "One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others."

Once they know that they can absorb the essence of demons to cultivate, will the people in yellow robes still feel at ease with them by their side?

After copying the cultivation technique, Liu Wuyou began his seclusion.

Li Changsheng, on the other hand, went to the sect to see if there were any missions in Zhongyang City.

Unfortunately, there are no Foundation Establishment stage missions available, so I can only go back to cultivate.

Without Liu Wuyou, he had more time to cultivate.

With four low-grade True Essence Pills per month, the cultivation speed is quite acceptable.

At the current rate of cultivation, I should be able to reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in about two years.

More than a month passed, and Li Changsheng finished refining the True Essence Pills for the month and went out for a walk.

Along the way, they encountered some disciples who were all discussing the duel in Tianshui City.

Li Changsheng walked over and looked at a Foundation Establishment disciple. Having been in the Danmai for so long, he knew almost everyone in the Foundation Establishment realm.

This Foundation Establishment disciple is named Changxuan, a mid-Foundation Establishment alchemist.

"Senior Brother Changxuan, are you talking about the duel in Tianshui City?" Li Changsheng asked.

"So it's Junior Brother Changsheng." Changxuan quickly greeted him, "Yes, I heard it was very intense, causing a sensation throughout Tianshui City and even Zhongyang City."

"Very intense?"

Li Changsheng exclaimed in surprise, "Is the Moon Gazing Demon King that powerful? Even the three sects couldn't defeat it?"

"The Moon Gazing Demon King is nothing special; the main thing is that there are two Golden Core Demon Kings assisting in the Northern Heavenly River."

Chang Xuan said in a deep voice, "I wonder what abilities Wang Yue has that he has managed to invite two Golden Core Demon Kings."

"What was the outcome of the duel?" Li Changsheng asked.

"They've had their share of victories and defeats," Chang Xuan sighed. "Those two Golden Core demon kings, one a python demon king and the other a catfish demon king, both have their own methods."

"That python demon king is said to have learned the art of summoning wind and rain from the Northern Heavenly River Dragon Lord, and his abilities are extraordinary."

"That catfish demon king is slippery and has extremely strong defense; even a Golden Core cultivator cannot harm it."

"That does sound like a problem," Li Changsheng said gravely. "Is there any news of Senior Brother Nie Qiu?"

Chang Xuan sighed, "Senior Brother Nie Qiu is doing well. I heard that Senior Brother Nie Qiu and Miss Zhang are in love. We could have asked the Zhang family for help, but unfortunately, they wouldn't allow it."

"Not allowed? Who's not allowed it?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Naturally, the city lord of Tianshui City wouldn't allow it," Changjiu said. "We are outsiders. When we established businesses in the past, we were simply seizing their resources."

"Moreover, Beitianhe and Tianshui City have lived in peace for many years. If the Zhang family gets involved, the situation will escalate and could potentially attract more demons from Beitianhe."

"If things escalate too much, it will be unmanageable. The Lord of Tianshui City means that we should resolve this ourselves."

"This Moon Gazing Demon King is truly capable, managing to win over two Golden Core Demon Kings."

"That's what the junior brother at the Qi Refining Realm said."

"Sigh, it's not easy to gain a foothold in Tianshui City. Only Senior Brother Nie Qiu has a relatively easy life."

Chang Xuan sighed and said, "The people of Tianshui City don't welcome us."

Li Changsheng pondered to himself, "It seems that the three Golden Core cultivators won't be back anytime soon."

Just in case, I can no longer stay in Lingxu Cave Heaven; I need to go and avoid it.

Qingxuan Cave Heaven?

Although he knew that Qingxuan Cave Heaven was powerful, he had no idea just how powerful it was.

The Moon Gazing Demon King was able to win over two Golden Core Demon Kings; who knows, there might be a third?

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng didn't want to stay in the sect any longer.

He thought for a moment, then gave a reminder, saying, "It seems that the three Golden Core cultivators won't be able to return, and the sect will be left without anyone to oversee it."

"Junior Brother Changsheng, you're overthinking it. Wangyue is the weakest of them all, and I heard he's even injured. Do you think he could have run all the way from Tianshui City?"

Chang Xuan laughed and said, "Elder Gu Hengtong has been keeping a close eye on Wangyue."

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "I was too timid. I still have pills in my furnace. Farewell."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Chang Xuan shook his head, his face showing disdain, and muttered under his breath, "If it weren't for Niu Wendao, what would you be? Look at your cowardly appearance."

Although his voice was soft, Li Changsheng, with his keen senses, still heard it.

He didn't argue; he just wanted to live peacefully and cultivate himself properly.

Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is the way to longevity.

Changxuan didn't listen, but that was none of his business; he had already reminded him.

Back in the alchemy room, after packing his things and taking the alchemy furnace with him, he disappeared underground.

Upon arriving in Zhongyang City, I cleaned up the Green Willow Courtyard.

Even if the Moon-Gazing Demon King returns, he wouldn't necessarily seek revenge against Zhongyang City.

After all, Zhongyang City didn't have much of a grudge against him, and behind Zhongyang City was the Great Qian Kingdom.

He set up an array, then disappeared underground, creating a space there to live in.

Surely that toad looking up at the moon wouldn't dig hundreds of meters down the ground to find him, would it?

Besides, Mochizuki probably doesn't know he exists.

Feeling somewhat at ease, Li Changsheng focused on his cultivation.

Occasionally, I'll take some time to visit Zhongyang City and inquire about the situation.

Many people from Zhongyang City went to Tianshui City to do business, and the news of the three factions fighting in Tianshui City had already spread.

Of course, given the distance of over a hundred miles, the information was somewhat outdated.

Li Changsheng listened to the old version of the news for several days before receiving the new information.

The three demon kings and the three factions fought even more fiercely, and their lesser demons were all brought out to fight.

Disciples from all three factions also rushed to Tianshui City to join the battle.

The situation is getting worse!

After hearing this news, Li Changsheng went into seclusion to cultivate.

The man in the yellow robe also came, bringing the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique and some newly collected cultivation methods.

Li Changsheng also liked this demonic art very much, as it could enhance his ability to digest blood and flesh nutrients.

Including the medicinal herbs sent last time, we finally gathered enough for a batch of low-grade True Essence Pills.

He looked into the storage bag and saw that there were still many broken monster corpses inside.

"You've started killing monsters?" Li Changsheng asked.

"No, it was delivered by the Crimson Flame Bird," said the man in the yellow robe. "Isn't there a major battle in Tianshui City recently? A lot of monsters went there to watch the excitement."

"Just watching the show?" Li Changsheng stared at him. "Really just watching the show? You went too?"

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, we didn't go," the man in the yellow robe quickly said, then paused and added, "They just wanted to take advantage of the situation; it has nothing to do with us."

"It's alright. The fighting in Tianshui City has been intense lately, and I feel uneasy about it. You guys should keep a low profile."

Li Changsheng said.

"Second Master, are you worried that the three factions will lose the battle?" the man in the yellow robe asked in surprise. "Impossible! Isn't Qingxuan Cave Heaven very powerful?"

"Qingxuan Cave Heaven is very strong, but Lingxu Cave Heaven and Shuiyue Cave Heaven currently do not have Golden Core cultivators guarding them."

Li Changsheng whispered, "What if another Golden Core cultivator runs out?"

"No way, if there's still a Golden Core Demon King, what's the point of fighting? They'd just come back and kill their way back." The man in the yellow robe scratched his head and said.

"Have you forgotten what I taught you? Better safe than sorry, you must be careful." Li Changsheng said, "What you need to do is live and wait for your king to return."

"Yes, Second Master." The man in the yellow robe quickly bowed and saluted, and the demon himself became more serious.

After giving some more instructions, telling Huang Pao to go back and keep the little demon under control, Li Changsheng finally felt at ease.

Li Changsheng disappeared underground to continue his cultivation.

Meanwhile, Huang Pao returned to the mountaintop, arrived at the wooden house, bowed, and said, "Grandma Liu, the things are presented to Second Master."

"Chang Sheng, did you say anything?" The wooden door opened, and Liu Wuyou stretched out a branch.

The man in the yellow robe said, "Second Master said that we should not go to Tianshui City anymore. He is uneasy because there might be Golden Core cultivators who could launch a sneak attack on the three major sects."

"You didn't let it slip, did you?" Liu Wuyou asked.

"No, no," the man in the yellow robe hurriedly replied. "I was just saying that we didn't go to the place where the Crimson Flame Bird delivered the corpse."

"Okay, that's good." Liu Wuyou said.

Huang Pao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Grandma Liu, why don't you not go? This is too dangerous."

"I know what I'm doing. I only picked up a few corpses from the edge. They won't be able to clean up the battlefield that quickly."

Liu Wuyou said, "The battle is so intense that they can't notice me."

"Grandma Liu..."

"No need to persuade me anymore. This is my own choice, and I believe Changsheng will not stop me once he knows."

After Liu Wuyou finished speaking, a gall bladder flew out: "Want some leopard gall?"

"Thank you, Grandma Liu." The man in the yellow robe quickly accepted the gift, then added, "Grandma Liu, since you insist on going, then... could you take me with you?"

"What are you going to do?" Liu Wuyou asked, puzzled.

"I also want to collect more corpses so I can level up faster. When I'm strong enough, I'll conquer a large territory for Your Majesty."

The man in the yellow robe said in a deep voice, "I don't want to be a mere Qi-refining demon when Your Majesty returns."

Liu Wuyou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then be quick-witted and don't hold me back."

"Thank you, Grandma Liu. My farts are really smelly. Even if people notice, they'll scare away humans and monsters." The man in the yellow robe bowed repeatedly.

After making their decision, the two demons instructed their lesser demons to focus on their cultivation before disappearing underground and heading to Tianshui City.

Li Changsheng had no idea that these corpses were dragged out of the battlefield by Liu Wuyou.

He is currently refining Qi and Blood Pills for the little demons.

These are all Qi and Blood Pills for the Qi Refining Realm, and they are easy to refine.

After refining the Qi and Blood Pill, he then refined the low-grade True Essence Pill and used it to cultivate.

After refining ten True Essence Pills, his cultivation level improved significantly.

He began studying the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique to strengthen his own method of digesting flesh and blood.

Immersed in the cultivation method, I once again experienced the wonder of the Xuan Tian Dao Jing, which could even accommodate demonic arts.

Unfortunately, without the method of obtaining the Golden Elixir, joining the Xuan Tian Sect? Absolutely impossible!

They can only wait until they have made further progress and gained some self-defense capabilities before venturing to larger cities like Tianshui City to search for the Golden Elixir Method.
