At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

After equipping the Bloodseeker Sawtooth Shark's corpse, Mu Yang glanced at his equipment inventory.

..................

【已装备物品：1.灰背鲨妖+3、2.地涌潮生露、3.寻血锯齿鲨尸首】4.无、5.无、6.无、7.无】

Current number of available equipment slots: 4

..................

Looking at the four empty seats, Mu Yang thought for a moment and took out the Three Gates Visualization Diagram that he had previously confiscated from Fengyun Sect.

[Ding! The "Wolf Howl Visualization Diagram," "Fox Fairy Visualization Diagram," and "Elegy Visualization Diagram" have been equipped!]

With the acquisition of the three rare visualization diagrams, Mu Yang's spiritual strength increased by another thirty cups, bringing the total to 185 cups.

Consequently, the strength of the water dragon also increased significantly, and it is estimated to be comparable to a seventh-order perfect water dragon.

Looking at the last available equipment slot, Mu Yang checked his pocket space.

Two methods for forging the seventh-order true qi.

One is called "Howling Moon True Qi Forging Method", and the other is called "Fox Illusion True Qi Forging Method".

Because the prerequisite martial arts skills are lacking, it is impossible to equip them.

Therefore, he specifically asked Hu Hui, hoping to get the prerequisite martial arts training from her.

Unfortunately, the result was unfortunate.

Although her intelligence increased considerably after she transformed into the Ghost King, her memory seemed incomplete, and she couldn't remember many things clearly.

Mu Yang estimated that if he wanted to obtain the prerequisite martial arts techniques, he would probably have to make a trip to the two of them's hometowns.

This brings us to the survival methods of the half-demon family.

Because they have demon blood in their bodies, half-demons will more or less bear the physical characteristics of the relevant demons in their true appearance.

For example, Hu Hui's fox ears and tail, Li Cang's thick, hook-like knuckles, and his distinctive azure eyes.

Although, once their cultivation level increases, half-demon warriors can learn special secret techniques to conceal their characteristics.

However, the newly born half-demon child clearly does not possess this ability.

Therefore, most half-demon families live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, in places rarely visited by humans.

Because their numbers are small to begin with, and they live in remote areas, those who dare to venture out have all taken steps to conceal their true forms. Therefore, most people will never see a half-demon's true appearance even once in their lifetime.

In fact, before the establishment of the Six Doors, the living conditions of the independent half-demon families were not good.

According to Gu Changkong, even in states like Liangzhou and Youzhou, which are located on the very periphery of the Dajing Dynasty, there are no well-known half-demon families.

Only in the relatively resource-rich Lanzhou, Mozhou, Yuezhou, Yunzhou, and Zhongzhou, where the imperial city of the Dajing Dynasty is located, are there powerful half-demon families.

For example, the Li family, to which Li Cang belongs, is a well-known half-demon family in Lanzhou.

It is said that because of the rise of the Six Doors, the Li family, who had originally lived in seclusion, moved to Lanzhou Prefecture.

Not only the Li family, but many half-demon families that gained power because of the Six Doors also relocated their residences to varying degrees.

The only difference lies in the status of the Six Doors in each corresponding state.

The more powerful members of the Six Doors were located near the prefectural capital, while the less powerful ones were located near ordinary prefectural cities outside the prefectural capital.

It was through the continuous absorption of half-demon families that the Six Doors' high-end combat power expanded rapidly. With the help of the imperial court, they were able to gain a subtle advantage in their confrontation with the Demon Slayer Division.

In other words, Liangzhou and Youzhou are sparsely populated, far from the imperial court, and lack resources. They also lack famous half-demon families, which is why the Six Doors' expansion in Liangzhou was very slow.

"Fine, let's equip this pill."

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang focused his attention on a seventh-order pill called the Heavenly Fragrance Soul Nourishing Pill.

These are seventh-grade pills found in Hu Hui's sleeve.

Perhaps because it was a recent event, Hu Hui still remembered that this was a seventh-grade pill given to her by Zhao Linjing.

The effect is simple: after perfect refinement, it can increase the strength of one's soul by about five cups, cleanse impurities and remove dust, and increase the allure of the opposite sex's body fragrance during intercourse.

The latter was completely ignored by Mu Yang.

The former's increase was not much, but it was better than nothing.

[Ding! The Heavenly Fragrance Soul-Nourishing Pill has been equipped!]

Soul Strength +5 cups!

"Next, we need to deal with that seagull!"

Before he arrived, he wasn't very confident that he could kill the seagull with his own hands.

The original idea was that if I killed it myself, I would get a chance to solidify my power, which would be a huge profit.

Even if you can't kill it yourself, you can still earn credit by helping someone out.

A seventh-tier demon corpse will provide a significant boost.

Unexpectedly, before he even encountered the Seawing Gull, he killed a seventh-tier Bloodseeker Sawtooth Shark Demon.

I also got a seventh-tier precious medicine!

Let alone a mere mid-stage seventh-tier mortal bloodline demon king, he was confident he could kill even a perfect seventh-tier rare bloodline demon king!

All I can say is that life is unpredictable!

Thinking this, Mu Yang had a thought, and the surging seawater enveloped him and pushed him towards the surface.

..................

at the same time.

Suspended Sea Peak, on the coast.

The night was as dark as ink, and the sea breeze howled.

Chu Zheng stood on the beach with a close attendant captain, his eyes filled with worry, glancing at the sea surface from time to time.

Several hours have passed since Muyang entered the sea, and it is now completely dark.

But Mu Yang was nowhere to be found.

"General, there's been no movement for three hundred li on either side of the coast!"

A close aide-de-camp approached and quickly reported to the commander.

Fearing they might not be able to find Mu Yang in time, Chu Zheng specifically ordered his men to disperse to both sides of the coast.

The purpose was to find Mu Yang as soon as he landed.

Chu Zheng nodded, and was about to say something when he saw the sea surface not far away suddenly explode.

Chu Zheng's spirits lifted, and he looked intently.

But what emerged from the sea was not a human figure, but a gigantic one.

"A seagull!?"

Chu Zheng was taken aback.

He never expected that instead of Mu Yang arriving first tonight, he would be greeted by seagulls!

But he reacted quickly, immediately reaching into his sleeve at his waist, and a thick, long silver spear appeared in his broad palm.

Then, he gave the order in a deep voice:

"Notify everyone to evacuate the sea area immediately!"

Having said that, Chu Zheng, who was always fully armored, pushed off with his feet and soared into the sky, his bright silver spear pointing straight at the sea.

A surge of powerful true energy erupted, and a massive silver dragon shot out from the tip of his spear, chasing after the seagulls on the sea surface.

"That crude brute, still as reckless as ever!"

Above the sea, the narrow eyes of the featherless seagull held a human-like mockery.

As the silver dragon approached, it gracefully circled in the air before easily dodging it.

Then, as always, while dodging, the seagull condensed a water ball in its beak and unleashed a water cannon at Chu Zheng.

The man and the seagull, in this chase, gradually drifted away from the coast.

Chu Zheng was in a hurry. Although he hadn't rested all day, his eyes were still bright, and he kept chasing the seagull relentlessly.

But he didn't notice that as he chased the seagulls, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe followed him silently, like a ghost.

The figure was hidden in the night, its presence almost imperceptible, as if it had merged with the darkness.

If someone were to lift his hood, they would immediately recognize him as the current sect leader of the Shuoyin Sect, one of the top powers in Liangzhou, a high-level Shadow Blade holder, and a late-stage seventh-tier martial artist.

Sheng Wu!
