Becoming a leader of the immortal path begins with sowing the seeds of inner demons.

late at night.

In the inn.

After half an hour of "education in love", half an hour of verifying the safety of the technique in his sea of ​​consciousness, and an hour of Da Jin's diligent practice, Lu Ming's face was full of astonishment and confusion.

I think I'm right, right?

How did Daikin turn into a ball?

The golden, furry sphere bounced hard on the ground, flew into the air, and with a soft "plop," limbs and a large face emerged from the sphere.

After a nimble side somersault, Da Jin landed steadily, raised his head expectantly, and asked, "Dad, isn't the new technique I learned amazing?"

"...Impressive, impressive." Lu Ming gave a perfunctory smile. Da Jin didn't notice and instead wagged its tail proudly, turning back into a ball and rolling around the house, having a great time.

Lu Ming became increasingly confused.

He was certain that there were no errors or omissions in the technique.

Once the inner demon is planted, nothing the host thinks can escape its notice.

As it turned out, after Da Jin learned this method of warding off evil spirits, the golden light emanating from his body disappeared, and he looked no different from an ordinary cat.

But this is not the result Lu Ming wanted.

If he turned into a ball of flesh and rolled into the market, he would definitely be mistaken for an evil spirit and chopped in half with a sword... We still need to find the answer from Da Jin.

Lu Ming called out, "Da Jin, let's play later. I have something to ask you."

The ball came to a steady stop, and Big Gold's head popped out from the middle, looking curiously at Lu Ming.

"What else can you do besides end up like this?"

Da Jin looked thoughtful, his body swayed like a roly-poly toy three times, and then suddenly shrank back.

Lu Ming was puzzled and was about to ask further when he suddenly noticed that Da Jin's body began to fade and slowly merge into the void.

Lu Ming was both surprised and delighted.

Could this technique perhaps involve the mysteries of space?!

He rushed forward to check, but Da Jin had already disappeared.

Just as he reached out to search, the space in front of him suddenly distorted, a wet sensation came from his hand, and then Da Jin's voice rang out in the air.

"Dad, am I good?"

Looking at the pink tongue that kept disappearing in the air, Lu Ming suddenly realized, but felt a little regretful.

Da Jin didn't vanish into thin air; instead, it changed its fur color to match its surroundings, with an excellent effect. At least Lu Ming couldn't see anything amiss.

But it's not very useful to me right now.

Unless you try to break in and steal spirit stones... then your fate will probably be similar to that of the meatball, right?

"Dad, it's time for me to cultivate. I don't want to play anymore." Da Jin suddenly reverted to his usual self, leaped onto the windowsill, and began cultivating under the moonlight.

Why am I being so self-disciplined today?

Lu Ming snapped out of his daze and looked at Da Jin in surprise.

Has this child finally figured it out?

It seems I can't...

"Dad, Meow's done practicing." Before Lu Ming could finish thinking, Da Jin jumped off the windowsill and lay down at Lu Ming's feet, yawning.

"...Are you tired?" Lu Ming's smile was extremely stiff, and two veins were visible on his forehead. He was already prepared to ask the patriarch to come out of seclusion.

"No." Da Jin shook his head, pointing to the moon with his pinky, "It's just one more bite. Once it's finished, I won't need to eat anymore."

"What?" Lu Ming didn't react.

"According to the technique, all I need to do now is lie still and let the light fill my whole body." Da Jin rolled over and lay on the ground, rubbing his belly with a relaxed expression.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming vaguely sensed something, immediately squatted down to gently massage Da Jin's belly, and tentatively asked, "Which set of techniques?"

"Tiger Demon Transformation Qi Technique." Da Jin squinted comfortably and hummed, "This technique allows me to store all the sunlight and moonlight in my belly."

The technique also says that the cat should spit out the light and then eat it back in.

"If the cat doesn't like it, why would it spit it out after eating it?"

Lu Ming stopped moving, feeling as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Isn't that... breathing exercises?

Da Jin didn't see Lu Ming's expression. He patted Lu Ming's hand with his paw, signaling him to continue. "Then the ancestor taught me the third technique."

As soon as the cat learned it, the light was running around wildly in its belly. The cat didn't want it to run around, so it used the third technique to guide it, and it slowly turned into golden light.

Some went here, some went here, and some stayed here...

Lu Ming recognized that those were the three places Yin Xuan had mentioned: the Sea of ​​Qi, the Yellow Court, and the Purple Mansion.

"Later, when those three places are full, the cat can turn back into the way it was before."

Lu Ming suddenly realized what was going on and immediately clicked on the large golden dot in the Heart Demon Record.

[Daikin: Golden Beaver]

[Realm: Perfect Qi Refining]

[Talent: Wealth and Prosperity: Ding Pin]

[Technique: Tiger's Fury Transformation Qi Technique]

After looking at the panel, Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If he's not mistaken, whether human or demon, in the cultivation world of Kyushu, one must open up three dantian to refine qi.

Based on the memories left by the previous incarnation, the Tiger Fiend Transformation Technique should involve absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to transform it into a tiger fiend, and then using demon cultivation techniques to open the dantian and achieve perfect qi refinement.

As a result, the large metal Pixiu was stuck at the entrance.

The reason for this breakthrough is entirely because Feng Zai's cultivation method also used the moon as a guide, and the resulting formula was flawless.

The essence of the sun and moon accumulated within Da Jin's body was activated by the magic technique and circulated through his body in the way Feng Zai usually did. By chance, it was refined into Tiger Fiend, and opening his dantian was a natural outcome.

This matter sounds easy, but it is actually extremely dangerous.

The methods of practice must not only be of the same origin, but also the mind must be free of any distracting thoughts when circulating qi.

If one is not careful, one's will will run wild, causing one's energy to surge wildly within the body, damaging the meridians and dantian, leading to a dead end.

Its predecessor died here.

Da Jin succeeded for two reasons: first, he was lucky like a fool, and second, he had a pure and innocent heart.

Thinking of the possible tragedies, Lu Ming felt a little scared. He rubbed Da Jin's head vigorously to show his dissatisfaction and decided to increase his efforts in urging Da Jin to cultivate in the future.

Da Jin, not understanding what was going on, instead leaned his head closer.

Lu Ming chuckled, casually pushed Da Jin's head aside, and eagerly opened his own panel.

Now that Da Jin has achieved success in his cultivation, and the Heart Demon Record has used the host's cultivation to nourish itself, he should also have reached the perfection of Qi cultivation by now!

Lu Ming: Extraterrestrial Demon

[Realm: Perfect Qi Refining]

[Seed of Inner Demon: 2/3]

[Talent: Aura Observation]

Become!

I've figured out that I'm using the Inner Demon Record correctly, and I'm one step further away from the Ant Realm!

Lu Ming was overjoyed, but when he looked down, he noticed something was amiss.

[Technique: Moon Essence Transformation Qi Technique]

Puzzled, Lu Ming raised his hand and uttered a command. The moonlight around him seemed to come alive, flowing and swirling around him at his command, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing.

It was remarkably similar to how Feng Zai used magic back then.

Like an immortal descending to earth on the moonlight.

Seeing this, Da Jin also raised its paw, but after a flash of golden light, it only formed a tiger claw phantom near the cat's paw.

He looked at his own, then at Lu Ming's, and asked curiously, "Dad, how did you do that?"

"So beautiful, I want to too..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sniffed.

"Dad, why don't you smell anymore?"

taste?

Lu Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Could it be that this Record of Inner Demons can sift through the dross and retain the most suitable cultivation method for oneself?

Thinking of this, Lu Ming had a sudden thought.

The moonlight enveloped him instantly, and a few breaths later, a beautiful figure appeared in the room.

Da Jin stared blankly at the beautiful young woman who had suddenly appeared before him, swallowed hard, and cautiously asked, "Father?"

"Da Jin, don't you recognize your father?" Lu Ming said, hands on his hips, looking smug.

My deduction was correct. The Heart Demon Record not only retained the transformation function, but also made me lose my most conspicuous demonic aura!

Wouldn't that mean...?

"Father? Father!"

Da Jin's urgent call interrupted Lu Ming's thoughts.

Lu Ming wasn't angry. He could study the cultivation technique slowly once he had more hosts for the inner demons.

His biggest gain tonight was that the last obstacle to earning spirit stones had disappeared!

The thought that his life in the cultivation world was about to get on track made Lu Ming smile involuntarily.

But the smile didn't last long.

"Dad? Are you sick? Why is your chest so swollen?" Da Jin grabbed Lu Ming's trouser leg, looking at him with concern. "Dad, are you going to die?"

If you die, who will buy me dried fish?

father?

father!"

"......"
