Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 8 makes everyone feel that you are more like a human being.

He had forgotten about the ancient demon, the Green Ox.

He stayed in prison, recording information about the demon race, taking away flesh and blood, and cultivating his body.

Nie Qiu was very generous and gave him all his flesh and blood.

Because Nie Qiu has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining!

The reward he received was certainly more than a bottle of top-grade Qi Refining Pills.

Li Changsheng wisely refrained from asking these questions and simply offered his congratulations.

And so, I peacefully practiced my spiritual cultivation for half a month.

He has successfully reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and his body refinement has also reached the second level of Qi Refining.

On this day, the interrogation of the demon race proceeded as usual.

There was a knock on the door. It was Lu Changshou: "Changsheng, come out for a moment."

"Senior Brother Changshou," Li Changsheng bowed respectfully.

"That's right, Niu Wendao will come to you later to learn the human language, so you must teach him well."

Lu Changshou said, "This is a good thing that I went through a lot of trouble to find for you."

"The Ox Asks?" Li Changsheng was taken aback, then remembered the ancient demon ox: "That little ox?"

"Indeed, after the elder took him away, he named him Niu Wendao, but they found that they couldn't understand each other's language and had difficulty communicating."

Lu Changshou said, "I originally wanted to find other disciples, but with my strong recommendation, I decided to have you teach."

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Changsheng said.

  

"Then you should know what to do?" Lu Changshou said meaningfully.

"I will always remember your kindness in helping me, Senior Brother," Li Changsheng said, tears streaming down his face.

"Hmm." Lu Changshou left satisfied.

Li Changsheng returned to the interrogation room and continued interrogating the demons.

Nie Qiu casually asked, "What do you want with me?"

"That ancient demon, the Green Ox, is coming back to learn my language," Li Changsheng said. "It should be arriving soon."

"That's good news," Nie Qiu said. "That ancient demon, the Green Ox, is now a treasure, its status is almost comparable to that of Changchun, the sect leader's personal disciple."

"Can it compare to Changchun?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

Changchun is a genius who reached the first level of Qi Refining in just seven days!

"Of course, although Changchun is a genius, he is still far inferior to the ancient demon Qingniu."

Nie Qiu said, "Elder Bai Yuquan is quite powerful now. As for seeking you to learn the ancient demon language, it's probably something no one else can teach him."

"Can't be taught?" Li Changsheng was taken aback.

"This green ox has a bad temper. You can go and see Changzai and Changqing; they're bruised and battered," Nie Qiu sneered.

Li Changsheng naturally wouldn't go to see it. What if the two of them misunderstood and thought he was watching a joke? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

No more words, I will focus on my spiritual practice.

Not long after, a small blue ox, led by a female Taoist priest, arrived at the prison.

The female Taoist priestess said arrogantly, "Who is Li Changsheng? Come out quickly!"

Li Changsheng and Nie Qiu emerged from the interrogation room at the same time, bowing respectfully: "Li Changsheng, Nie Qiu, greet Senior Sister and Senior Brother Niu."

This little green ox suddenly became their senior apprentice.

Just as the female Taoist was about to speak, the little green ox ran to Li Changsheng's side and nuzzled him.

Li Changsheng: "..."

You damn ox, can't you stay away from me?

He was terrified that the ox would bite him.

Seeing this, the female Taoist priest's expression softened, and she said, "Teach Junior Brother Niu to speak human language well. I will come over tonight."

"Yes," Li Changsheng replied respectfully.

The green ox spoke: "Finally, I've met you. Those humans, we can't communicate with them. I want to eat peaches."

"When we get back tonight, I'll tell my senior sister to get you some peaches," Li Changsheng said.

The two men and the ox entered the interrogation room. The interrogation room doors on both sides were ajar. Changqing and Changzai were peeking out, but dared not come out.

There's a tiger demon inside that needs to be dealt with.

The ox asked, "Why kill them?"

"Because... they made a mistake, they shouldn't have harmed people," Li Changsheng said.

"I didn't harm anyone back then; I just accidentally ate from the medicinal herb field," Niu Youdao said. "Would you still kill me then?"

Li Changsheng paused for a moment, then said, "The law of nature is survival of the fittest."

"It's the same as outside," Niu asked, suddenly realizing.

"You should study human language properly," Li Changsheng said.

The ox asked again, "Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you, but not with others?"

"I don't know either, maybe it's...fate?" Li Changsheng could only give a perfunctory answer.

No one can tell me that I am a demon, not even this green ox!

"Fate?" Niu asked, somewhat bewildered, not yet understanding what fate meant.

"That's how fate works; when you see someone, you inexplicably feel a sense of closeness."

Li Changsheng said.

"So, do you feel any warmth or affection towards me?"

"There are some," Li Changsheng said against his will.

He just wanted to get as far away from this blue ox as possible; it was the first creature that could sense something was wrong with him!

Although he couldn't discern the true form of the green ox, it was only friendly, but he was still worried.

Next, as they continued interrogating the demon, Niu asked, who was watching him take notes, "Why are you taking these notes?"

"The sect asked us to record these; they want these demon cultivation methods, but I don't know what they're for."

Li Changsheng said, "My task is to follow the sect's arrangements; whatever the sect does, I will do."

"Then why did you obey? Because you couldn't beat the sect?" Niu asked.

"Yes." Li Changsheng nodded.

"I understand," the ox asked, then added, "Then why don't you run away?"

"It's dangerous outside, full of demons, monsters, and various cultivation sects, no different from here."

Li Changsheng finally realized that since they were all demons, he should speak his mind: "Remember this: whether in the human world or the demon world, you must keep yourself hidden."

"Hidden well?"

"Yes, you are an ancient demon with strong bloodline power. There are records in the library that some demons can devour other demons with similar bloodlines to enhance their power."

Li Changsheng said, "In the human world, when they find that they can no longer control the demons they raise, they will also try to kill them."

"Kill?"

"Yes, when they think you are dangerous, they will cut off your horns to make weapons and skin you alive."

"This world is so dangerous. There were indeed demons who tried to eat me before, but luckily I ran away quickly."

Niu asked, recalling his days of wandering, still feeling lingering fear.

Therefore, he believed Li Changsheng's words without a doubt.

Li Changsheng said, "You need to learn to be obedient, listen to your master, and make everyone feel that you are more like a human being."

"More like a human being?" Niu asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, before we have enough strength, we can only obey orders," Li Changsheng said.

The ox asked again, "Then when will we have enough strength?"

"I don't know either, because I'm very weak, only at the fifth level of Qi Refining," Li Changsheng said.

"I'm weaker, only at the third level of Qi Refining," Niu Wendao said dejectedly.

Li Changsheng comforted him, saying, "You have great talent and an ancient bloodline. Once you learn the human language, the sect will nurture you with great effort, and you will soon surpass me."

"Then I need to learn the human language as soon as possible," Niu asked firmly.

Nie Qiu dealt with the demon corpses on the side without disturbing them.

Li Changsheng began to patiently teach.

Niu Wendao possessed strong bloodline power and learned quickly. By evening, he could already stammer out a few words of human language.

The female senior sister arrived in the evening, and Niu Wendao quickly stepped forward: "Senior, senior sister, hello."

The female senior sister immediately beamed with joy: "Good junior brother, good junior brother."

After saying that, he casually tossed a pill into Li Changsheng's hand: "This is a reward for you. I'll bring my junior brother again tomorrow."
