Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

Gou An was shocked and subconsciously looked at Liu Dayong beside him, wanting to ask what was going on.

Liu Dayong was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not mine, it's Luo Meng's."

"Luo Meng?" Gou An was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. Wasn't this Luo Meng the mortal he had taken in back then?

He actually got together with that monster Niu Cuihua?

"Can mortals and demons have children?" Gou An was even more puzzled.

Liu Dayong quickly explained, "Theoretically speaking, it is possible, but the probability is very small."

Gou An swallowed hard, and couldn't help but admire Luo Meng.

After all, there weren't many female demons in the Heavenly Palm Diagram, yet he managed to stand out among so many monsters and win over Niu Cuihua, who was quite good-looking.

That's awesome!

I wonder what kind of creature will be born from the union of a mortal and a demon.

"Where is Luo Meng?" Gou An asked.

"It's right outside the door," Niu Cuihua quickly replied.

"Let him in," Gou An ordered.

Soon, Luo Meng rushed in from outside the door, and upon seeing Gou An, he quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Dao Master, how have you been?"

When Gou An saw Luo Meng, he laughed and said, "You're something else, kid. You don't even spare monsters."

Luo Meng smiled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, and replied, "Dao Master, we are true love."

Niu Cuihua nodded silently after hearing this.

Gou An opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

God's true love.

"Alright, I guess you two are truly in love!" Gou An sighed, and after thinking for a while, he finally spoke: "Since you're pregnant, then rest well and take good care of yourself. When the baby is born, I'd like to see what kind of genius it will be."

Gou An glanced at Niu Cuihua's belly; it was somewhat inappropriate to have her go out and watch his alchemy furnace in this state.

So they had to abandon the idea and let them go back to rest.

Afterwards, Gou An briefly learned about the other details of the Palm Heaven Diagram from Liu Dayong, and then shifted his consciousness to his original body outside the diagram.

As for the clone left in the picture, Gou An did not summon him, but instead sent the clone to the cave where Xuan Kongzi had previously secluded himself to cultivate silently.

While creating clones consumes some demonic power, the materialized clones can be cultivated.

When the time comes, this clone will be re-fused into the main body, and the main body will then receive the increased cultivation from the clone.

Therefore, Gou An left his clone in the world depicted in the image to cultivate, also wanting to test the effect.

Moreover, in this way, he would no longer need to take out the Heavenly Palm Diagram; he could use his clone to understand the situation within the diagram.

Looking at the pills in the furnace, Gou An finally decided to ask Long Youzi to watch over them for him.

After all, he's the only one I can rely on right now.

Gou An then got up, left the alchemy room, and flew to the scripture pavilion of the main alchemy hall. After entering, he began to browse through the various books inside.

Finally, after Gou An flipped through the books, he found one that he had seen by chance before.

Its name is Yuanhua Bloodline True Meaning.

Gou An had glanced at it when he was reading alchemical texts before; it seemed to be a book about human-demon hybrids.

So Gou An looked through the pages and discovered a whole new world.

While it is true that mortal men and female demons can unite, the probability of successfully conceiving a child is very small.

Children born from a human-demon hybrid are born in human form and have a very high probability of possessing spiritual roots. However, due to the limitation of one of their demon parents, their appearance will have demon characteristics.

In other words, it is a human body, without demonic energy or a demonic core, but with the characteristics of a demon race.

The big problem with this mixed-race individual is that although he may be very talented, he is infertile.

Upon seeing this, Gou An couldn't help but think of how horses and donkeys can produce mules, but mules cannot reproduce.

Gou An continued flipping through the pages, and besides the explanations of the combination of humans and demons, there were also demons with demons.

Combinations of demons of different species, such as a dog demon and a snake demon.

Although they have already taken human form, the probability of them conceiving is extremely small.

To increase the probability, one must find and combine with a transformed monster of the same species.

The offspring of demons born from the union of different species are also born in human form and have a demon core in their bodies, but it is highly likely that the demon core is incomplete, which greatly affects their cultivation.

However, if a second-generation demon is born with a complete demon core, then this demon's talent will be outstanding.

In addition, the second generation of demons will have the original features of both parents in their appearance, and importantly, they cannot reproduce.

Only offspring born from the union of monsters of the same species are not subject to reproductive restrictions.

Upon seeing this, Gou An nodded.

No wonder we don't see many second-generation demons in the City of Ten Thousand Demons; this is the reason.

Gou An closed the book, stuffed it back into its original place, and couldn't help but think.

If I and Hongyue had a child, what would the child look like?

Is it a dog-headed snake or a snake-headed dog?

It's strange to even think about it.

Moreover, considering that Gou An and Hong Yue have already had several intimate encounters, there has indeed been no further development.

Even if he mastered the sorcery of male dog reproduction, it had no effect on the snake demon, Red Moon.

If I want to continue my family line, do I really need to find a female dog?

Thinking of this, Gou An shook his head repeatedly.

I am a demon who cultivates to become an immortal. When I transcend the tribulation and become an immortal, I will live forever. Why would I need any incense offerings?

Wait two days.

Gou An summoned Long Youzi.

Long Youzi has been studying alchemy recently, and under Gou An's persuasion, he has actually improved quite a bit.

"Master!" Long Youzi entered the alchemy room and respectfully bowed to Gou An.

"Hmm!" Gou An nodded. "I've called you here today to give you a task."

Long Youzi stepped forward and replied, "Master, please speak. I will certainly do my best."

Gou An pointed to the alchemy furnace in the middle of the room and said, "This furnace contains the pills I'm making for the Demon King. They need to be refined for at least forty-nine days before they're ready."

Long Youzi turned his gaze to the alchemy furnace and nodded.

Gou An continued, "I'm about to be ordered to go out for a while, and I'd like you to watch the stove for me."

"Yes, Master." Long Youzi immediately agreed.

Gou An, still worried, added, "This pill is a kidney-tonifying pill made for the Demon King; we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen."

"You just need to keep the fire steady; you don't need to do anything else, and don't open the furnace door yourself."

"After forty-nine days, we will simply wait for the fire to go out, and then I will return to start the furnace."

"Disciple understands." Long Youzi nodded quickly.

"Remember, no one is allowed to open the furnace without my permission," Gou An emphasized again. "Can you do that?"

"Yes!" Long Youzi quickly agreed.

"Furthermore!" Gou An added, "After I leave, no one else is allowed near the alchemy room except you. If I return and find any problems with the precious pills in the furnace, I will not let them off easily."

"Master, rest assured!" Long Youzi clasped his hands in a fist and assured him, "As long as I am here, Dan will be here!"
