Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

"Is this Demon-Subduing Town really that well-equipped? It even has an inn?" Lin An asked incredulously.

He originally thought that the existence of a small town at the foot of Wan Yao Mountain was already amazing enough.

Unexpectedly, this small town has a bustling and prosperous atmosphere comparable to Qing Shi County.

"Of course, this is the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, one of the Twelve Demon Mountains. It's teeming with demons, and even a powerful demon at the Spirit Transformation Realm has appeared here..."

Wan Liang explained, "These demons are indeed a scourge to ordinary people, but for us cultivators, they are an opportunity."

"If we can hunt down a powerful demon at the Spirit Transformation Realm, its physical body and demon core alone could fetch a sky-high price of tens of thousands of taels of gold!" Wan Liang's eyes were filled with hope.

Lin An scoffed at his words.

A powerful demon within the Spirit Transformation Realm?

What is that?

Lin An saw and heard a lot along the way, and gained a general understanding of the systems of demons and human cultivators.

First, there's the level of demons.

It possesses instinct, intelligence, awakening, spiritual transformation, earth spirit, and heaven spirit.

The corresponding stages for human cultivators are Body Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation!

This great demon in the Spirit Transformation Realm is equivalent to a super powerful being in the Golden Core Realm.

Let alone whether there are any Golden Core cultivators within the Great Qian Kingdom, even if there are, would they care about ten thousand taels of gold?

With this power, let alone ten thousand taels of gold, one could be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

They have a bit of ambition, and some might even want to seize territory and become kings!

Besides, the existence of a powerful demon at the Spirit Transformation Realm in Wan Yao Mountain is currently just a legend.

Lin An chatted with Wan Liang casually all the way to the inn and entered the private room reserved by the Blood Hunter Team.

"Hey bro! Welcome to join us!"

As soon as Lin An entered the private room, he noticed the man sitting in the main seat.

This man had a shrewd face, but his aura was not to be underestimated.

He is three points better than Xu Shan.

This person must be Yang Feng, the captain of the Blood Hunter Squad, who possesses the strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

"My name is Yang Feng, and I'm the captain of the Blood Hunter Squad. I met you on the street just now!" Yang Feng said with a faint smile.

"Brother, you must have just entered the late stage of Body Refinement, right? Have any other demon-hunting teams taken a liking to you?"

Lin An nodded slowly; Yang Feng's eyes were indeed sharp.

Just by exchanging a few words on the street, he was able to discern Lin An's level of cultivation.

The late stage of Body Refinement may not seem powerful, but in the entire Great Qian Kingdom, apart from the Demon Suppression Division, it is a highly sought-after level.

Therefore, after observing that Lin An had come here alone, Yang Feng immediately extended an olive branch.

"To be honest, I just arrived in Fumo Town and haven't joined the demon-hunting team yet," Lin An said with a faint smile.

"Then this must be fate between us!"

"How about joining our Bloodhunting Squad?"

Lin An readily accepted the olive branch extended by Yang Feng.

This Bloodhunting Squad is the strongest Demon Hunter Squad he has seen so far.

Furthermore, Lin An's current goal is to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to escape the pursuit of the Xuan Tian Battle Palace, so he doesn't have particularly strict requirements for the strength of the Demon Hunter Team.

As long as their strengths are roughly equal, that's fine.

"No problem, I wouldn't have come to eat this meal if I didn't want to..." Lin An replied with a smile.

After agreeing to join the Blood Hunter Squad, everyone began to eat.

The dishes served at this inn are made with ingredients sourced from the low-level demons of Wan Yao Mountain, adapted to local conditions.

It must be said that dishes made from demon meat are more delicious than those made from ordinary livestock, and they also have the effect of nourishing spiritual energy.

During the meal, Lin An also got to know all the members of the Blood Hunter Squad.

Including team leader Yang Feng.

This Yang Feng was originally a minor official in the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Qian Kingdom.

With the strength of someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, they would indeed be highly sought after outside.

However, within the Demon Suppression Division, this level of strength is not considered anything special.

In addition, there was the rigid system of the Demon Suppression Division and the low salaries.

That's why Yang Feng decided to leave the Demon Suppression Division and find his own way.

"Brothers, get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow we'll head straight into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!"

After a few rounds of drinks, Yang Feng said excitedly.

The Blood Hunter team stayed at the inn that night, and Yang Feng booked a room for Lin An after he joined the team.

Lin An returned to his room and lay down on the bed to rest.

These past few days of running back and forth would have left him exhausted by now, if it were before.

But Lin An doesn't seem tired at all right now.

It seems like there is endless power within my body.

"Is this the power of devouring?"

Lin An opened his eyes, as if he had realized something. A powerful force flowed through his body, nourishing it.

"I never imagined my cheat ability, the Devouring Power, would be so invincible. It can automatically capture and devour the spiritual energy around it..."

Lin An felt the spiritual energy within his body slowly increasing.

Although it's not as fast as directly killing and devouring demons, it's still slowly increasing.

Moreover, it may be because it is close to Wanyao Mountain, a place rich in spiritual energy and where all things are reviving.

Therefore, the speed at which the power of devouring operates is also much faster, and his spiritual energy increases much faster than when he stayed in Qing Shi County.

If this rate continues, I can level up just by lying in an inn without even going into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to hunt demons!

Lin An understood the intricacies of the matter.

However, this method of automatic cultivation was not enough for Lin An.

He now has to quickly improve his strength; at least before leaving the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, he must reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

With that, plus the Xuan Tian Seal, he could walk sideways in Qing Shi County without worrying about the Xuan Tian War Palace's retaliation.

Lin An spent the entire night meditating, absorbing a significant amount of spiritual energy.

Lin An

Consumption time: three hours.

Spiritual energy value increased by 3,000 points.

Realm: Peak of Body Refinement.

Lin An never expected that after idling for a night, he would actually reach the peak of Body Refinement and be just a little bit away from entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

Of course, entering the Foundation Establishment stage is not easy. At least for him now, he can't just rely on AFK farming to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. He has to go and fight demons!

After washing up, Lin An arrived at the gathering point for entering the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, as promised.

Yang Feng and his group had been waiting there for a long time.

After a brief registration at the Demon Suppression Bureau, the Blood Hunting Squad swaggered into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

There aren't many demons on the edge of Wan Yao Mountain because the edge is mostly populated by low-level demons.

They were all killed long ago.

Besides, these places are frequented by low-level demons.

Yang Feng didn't think much of it either.

So the Blood Hunter team headed deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
