Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 7 Become a Tree Spirit That No One Can Gnaw On

"Thank you, Senior Brother Nie." Li Changsheng bowed and thanked him. "This top-grade Qi Refining Pill should rightfully be offered to you, Senior Brother."

Nie Qiu waved his hand: "No need, the elder has already given me a reward, you can keep it for your own cultivation."

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Brother." Li Changsheng accepted the gift with peace of mind.

Before long, news of their discovery of an ancient demon spread throughout the prison.

I envy those who live long and remain evergreen.

"You discovered a little ancient demon without parents. The elders must have given it quite a reward, right?" the elder said.

Nie Qiu laughed and said, "There's no reward at all. It's just our duty. The elder took the ancient demon away directly. He doesn't care about us at all."

"Yes," Li Changsheng sighed.

The two men naturally didn't believe it, but seeing that they were tight-lipped, they didn't ask any more questions.

  

He immediately went to the prison and interrogated the other demons to see if he could find one or two ancient demons.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed; ancient demons are not easy to find.

That evening, as usual, a bucket of flesh and blood was distributed. Nie Qiu instructed, "Don't tell anyone about the high-grade Qi Refining Pill."

"I understand, thank you, Senior Brother," Li Changsheng said, cupping his hands in thanks.

The superior-grade Qi Refining Pill is a cultivation resource for disciples at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Even Lu Changshou, who is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, only gets a mid-grade Qi Refining Pill every month.

Li Changsheng returned to the wooden house, only to find that Lu Changshou had been waiting for him for a long time, and he sensed a chill in his heart.

Before he could speak, Lu Changshou said, "I heard you discovered an ancient demon? Why didn't you inform me immediately?"

Li Changsheng quickly replied, "At that time, Nie Qiu went straight out, and I couldn't leave the prison until nightfall."

"Elder Bai must have given you quite a few benefits, right?" Lu Changshou said indifferently.

"Just one bottle of high-grade Qi Refining Pills." Li Changsheng bowed respectfully and took out the bottle of high-grade Qi Refining Pills: "I offer it to my senior brother."

The elders won't give any rewards? They'll at least throw something away casually.

Lu Changshou's behavior clearly indicates that he's here to ask for benefits.

As for notifying him?

How could he notify so many people in the prison, unless Lu Changshou was there at the time?

"High-grade Qi Refining Pills?" Lu Changshou opened the bottle, sniffed it, and saw ten pills inside. He asked in surprise, "You didn't touch them?"

"My senior brother taught me to speak the language of demons so that I would have the opportunity to encounter ancient demons. I am currently worried about how to offer this to my senior brother," Li Changsheng said respectfully.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Lu Changshou nodded and took out a porcelain bottle: "I won't take yours for nothing, here's a bottle of mid-grade Qi Refining Pills for you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Changsheng quickly expressed his gratitude.

The mid-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill is perfect for Qi-refining cultivators at levels four to six.

After he advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, his resources changed to one mid-grade Qi Refining Pill per month.

"Do your job well, and I'll remember you when good things happen in the future."

After Lu Changshou finished speaking, he left with the pills.

Li Changsheng carried the wooden bucket into the house and began his cultivation.

The palms transformed into roots, devouring flesh and blood essence.

He circulated his profound energy, rapidly refining the essence of flesh and blood. However, the essence of flesh and blood was no longer of much help to his cultivation.

But it can be used to refine the body. This bucket is too small, so I'll seal it inside my body first.

He sealed away his blood, flesh, and vital essence, and then consumed a mid-grade Qi-refining pill.

The medicinal power of the Qi-refining pill transforms into pure nutrients, nourishing the entire body.

The medicinal power refined through each step was far more refined than that of flesh and blood or low-grade Qi-refining pills.

The spiritual energy within his dantian was also rapidly increasing, and by dawn, he had refined two mid-grade Qi Refining Pills.

The peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining!

"After a few more days of practice, I can advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining."

Having just been promoted, my spiritual power is not yet refined enough; I need to cultivate and hone it to consolidate my cultivation.

Carrying wooden buckets, they arrived at the prison. Changzai and Changqing had arrived early and were screening the demon race in the cells.

It's like fishermen; when a big fish is caught somewhere, all the fishermen in the neighborhood will gather around.

Even though many people fail to catch fish, they firmly believe that they will be the next lucky ones!

Li Changsheng did not linger, and Nie Qiu continued to bring the demon clan to interrogate him.

Later that afternoon, while dealing with the demon race, Nie Qiu asked, "Are you out of your high-grade Qi Refining Pills?"

Li Changsheng was taken aback and asked, "What does Senior Brother know?"

"I'm guessing. With your status and strength, you can't keep a high-grade Qi Refining Pill."

Nie Qiu said, "When elders have happy occasions, they will casually give away some gifts. Those with high status and strong power will naturally ask for them."

"Senior brother is kind-hearted and even gave me a bottle of mid-grade Qi Refining Pills," Li Changsheng said.

Nie Qiu scoffed, "Ten mid-grade pills might not even be as good as one high-grade one. He's really a good person; he can just rob you and then give you a bottle of mid-grade pills. Doesn't that make you feel better?"

"Thinking about it that way, he really is a good person," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"Well, that makes sense. We're born to be bullied."

Nie Qiu sighed and said.

Li Changsheng smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care about these things.

He wanted the top-grade Qi Refining Pill, but he understood even more the importance of safety first.

If they don't obediently hand over the high-grade Qi Refining Pill, they'll at least get a beating and have the pill stolen.

If you get injured or bleed during the fight, or if anything strange happens, you're doomed.

Harmony brings wealth; try to avoid fighting and killing.

Anyway, I have the time, so I can cultivate slowly.

"Senior Brother Nie, could you give me some more flesh and blood today?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Oh? This bucket isn't enough for you?" Nie Qiu asked.

"I've been practicing martial arts recently, and I need a lot of flesh and blood," Li Changsheng said.

It must become an immortal tree that no one, not even a demon, can chew up!

"Practice martial arts? You want to refine your body?" Nie Qiu asked.

Only body tempering requires a large amount of flesh and blood.

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, I want to have a perfect figure like my senior brother."

"You have good taste!" Nie Qiu was very pleased with his praise, and he was also very satisfied with his physique: "I'm getting a little tired of eating like this lately, so you can have it all."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Changsheng quickly expressed his gratitude.

That evening, Li Changsheng carried two large buckets back, this time including a bucket of offal and entrails.

The energy contained in the internal organs is far greater than that in the scraps.

Nie Qiu is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and eating these things is obviously helpful.

However, because of the ancient demon Qingniu, he received a reward from the elders, and Nie Qiu temporarily no longer cared about these internal organs.

His hands transformed into roots, simultaneously absorbing the two wooden barrels.

The energy within the internal organs was beyond imagination, comparable to three or four mid-grade Qi Refining Pills.

By sealing it away using a secret method, Li Changsheng estimated that it should be enough for him to begin body tempering.

The streams of blood and flesh energy did not transform into spiritual power, but instead spread throughout the limbs and bones, merging into the entire body.

In my mind, a small, lush green tree swayed, and I felt a surge of vitality within myself.

A faint blood-red aura enveloped him, and Li Changsheng clearly felt his power increasing.

The lush green saplings swayed even more violently, as if they were cheering.

Every root, every piece of bark, every green leaf is being tempered by the energy of flesh and blood.

The energy from his flesh and blood washed over his entire body, making his body stronger and more resilient.

The humanoid skin that has been transformed is also getting stronger.

However, no muscles were formed.

After digesting all the flesh and blood, Li Changsheng pinched his skin, thinking he should be able to withstand an attack from the first level of Qi Refining.

Of course, this is under the condition of being unprepared.

This marks the beginning of the first level of Qi Refining in Body Refinement!

The lush green sapling in my mind also had a thin layer of blood on it.

"Later, we'll test our strength against the great demon."

Li Changsheng resolved to carry out body refinement to the very end.

As long as you're tough enough, no one can eat you!

Next, continue refining your spiritual power in preparation for reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining.
