I have the best bloodline

"Inner demons?"

Dragon Father raised his hand and summoned the little fox on the ground that looked exactly like Su Yan. A slight look of doubt appeared on his face: "It's not even fifteen yet, how come the power of the inner demon is so strong that it can separate from the body?"

"I...I came out last month, waaaaah...his original self...he hasn't come to find me at all!"

The fox demon, who hadn't slept for over half a month and had been reading non-stop, couldn't hold back her tears when she saw her father, the dragon, arrive.

The woman did see it, but she held a ruler in her hand, poking her own cheek, forcing herself to study ancient characters and calligraphy during the day, and to study the application of formations by lamplight at night.

He had a miserable time for the past two weeks, studying like crazy at the Lord of Night's house.

The fox demon thought that after it disappeared, its true form would quickly discover it and come looking for it, and the Lord of Night would release it back home.

However, even after the inner demon finished its general education course and the Lord of Night sent it back to Mount Ji, it never saw its true self come looking for it.

Waaaaah.

"How strange."

Seeing the demon fox crying its heart out, the dragon father made a strange comment.

Shouldn't a demon that sneaks out be so happy that it doesn't want to return to its original body, and even fight with its original body for it?

Why is the little fox, this inner demon, so desperate to return to its original form after being bullied outside?

After scanning with his divine sense and locating Su Yan's position, Dragon Father used water escape techniques to appear beside Su Yan and said:

"On my way here, I found your inner demon."

"what?"

Startled by the sudden appearance of the water shape, Su Yan quickly jumped up from his seat, leaped a distance, and assumed a defensive stance as he looked at the water shape that had condensed. Only after it gradually transformed into the figure of his father, the dragon, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Father, you walk so quietly."

Su Yan made a sarcastic remark, then shifted her gaze from her father to his hand, looking at the demon fox he was holding with one hand. She paused for a moment and said, "How did you get out of my body? I saw you wiggling your butt and doing a sexy dance in the bronze mirror this morning."

"I ran away last month! You bastard!" The fox demon roared with a ferocious expression upon hearing this, "I've been missing for almost a month, you bastard! How could I have such a brainless body like you! Hurry up, open your arms and hug me back, I'm crying!"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan slowly typed a question mark, raised her hand to point to the reflection in the stream, and said:

"You said you are my inner demon, then what is that thing wiggling its butt in the reflection?"

Wiping away her tears of grievance, the fox demon looked at the water surface where Su Yan was pointing. Instead of a human form, Su Yan's reflection appeared as a normal-looking four-tailed fox. The four-tailed fox, in its half-demon form, sat on a sofa with its legs crossed, holding a pipa in the same way it would a guitar.

The large fox seemed to notice the demon fox, and immediately revealed a kind smile, plucking the strings of its pipa.

Has the inner demon gone?

There's no such thing as getting lost, absolutely no one is lost.

"What the hell are you?! What kind of demon are you?!" The inner demon fox was furious when it saw Su Yan's second fox and pounced on its reflection in the water. It did indeed merge into Su Yan's reflection, but the four-tailed fox held the pipa in its backhand and struck it with its curved surface, knocking the inner demon fox, who wanted to go home, away.

"Waaaaah, you son of a bitch, come here right now and be the judge! I want to go home and sleep!"

The fox, which had fallen onto the rocky beach of the stream, lay on the ground, pounding the rocks with its hands and feet, crying loudly.

Su Yan: "?"

Do I have two inner demons now?

"What's going on?" Father Long looked at Su Yan and Princess Wuxi, who was standing in the river with her trousers rolled up, and asked, somewhat puzzled.

One mind-seeking demon corresponds to one mind demon, so how come Su Yan now has an extra mind demon?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 528 You make it sound so easy, but show me the way!

"Ding-dong."

Amidst the fox demon's pitiful sobs, Su Yan's reflection of the four-tailed fox demon, with a gentle smile, raised his hand to stroke the pipa spirit. Although it was clearly a pipa, Su Yan could discern its charm from that of an electric guitar and a harp.

Seeing this, the fox demon cried even louder.

"Waaaaah, I want to go home! Main body, please control your wicked inner demons!" The fox inner demon sat up, pointed at the four-tailed fox inner demon, and complained.

"Please wait a moment."

Su Yan stepped out of the riverbed, wobbled on his feet, and stood on the pebbles, looking puzzled. He said, "I clearly only have one inner demon, but you two have emerged now. So, what happened?"

The confusion in Su Yan's heart now is like the dilemma of one bowl of noodles versus two bowls of noodles in her previous life. She clearly ate one bowl of noodles, so why should she pay for two?

Of course, this fox demon must be one of his own inner demons; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to run directly into his reflection and fight the four-tailed fox. Therefore, whether the fox demon can go home or not is unimportant. Su Yan is completely baffled as to why an extra inner demon has appeared without his knowledge.

"Ding-dong."

The four-tailed fox demon gently plucked the strings of the pipa, looked at Su Yan with a polite smile, and said, "I was born last month thanks to Senior Bai's blessing. Now I am used to living alone as a fox and don't really want to live with other foxes."

After being exposed, the four-tailed fox demon introduced itself to Su Yan.

Of course, very little of what the Four-Tailed Fox Demon said is true; its birth had absolutely nothing to do with Senior Bai Ze. The Mind-Gazing Demon is an extremely rare specialty of the universe, its origins traceable back to the primordial immortal realm.

The birth of the Four-Tailed Fox's inner demon is directly related to the Nine Netherworlds of Empress Dowager You Su. The two spirits, Xi and Le, were originally restless souls. After completing the tasks assigned by Empress Dowager You Su last month, they ran to the cosmos to watch the Nine-Tailed Fox dig up the Queen Mother of the West's cave.

The birth of the Four-Tailed Fox Demon originated from the Mind-Seeking Demon brought back from the starry sky by the ghost of Empress Dowager Su.

The Lord of the Night was keeping a close watch on them. Xi and Le, who liked to go out and play, devised a plan to plant a fox spy next to Su Yan to keep watch and notify them to come out when it was safe outside.

"What cunning fox?"

The fox demon, his face filled with shock, pointed at the four-tailed fox demon explaining its origins to Su Yan and said:

"While I was away, you secretly replaced me, preventing my true self from noticing that a new inner demon had silently appeared. You're despicable!"

Threatened by the Lord of Night, the fox demon dared not reveal his true form, as the Lord of Night would come to his room to harass him whenever he had free time.

But this did not stop the fox demon from jumping up and down and cursing at the four-tailed fox demon.

"........."

Meanwhile, the father, who was watching quietly from the side, subconsciously nodded slightly.

The little fox is living a pretty good life!

Inner demons are the manifestation of a cultivator's state of mind. The three inner demons each represent different things. For some experienced seniors, they can deduce some extremely private matters just by looking at a cultivator's inner demons.

Before being refined, there were three inner demons, all manifestations of the cultivator's emotions: greed, anger, and ignorance. (Note 1)

The fox's inner demon represents greed. Its activity indicates that Su Yan's mental state is quite good. The entire fox is striving upwards, rather than being stuck in a bottleneck.

The four-tailed fox demon represents resentment. If the main body encounters any unpleasantness or adversity, the four-tailed fox demon will also enter an active state and try to escape, its form becoming extremely distorted, resentful, and terrifying.

The fact that the Four-Tailed Fox Demon is now completely calm reflects that Su Yan has been doing very well recently and has not encountered anything that would cause the Four-Tailed Fox Demon to react.

As for the final "obsession," it actually represents the cultivator's own sense of good and evil. The kinder a person is, the more ferocious the obsession demon they generate will be; the more ruthless and cruel a cultivator is, the more purely good their obsession demon will be.

"go back!"

Seeing the two inner demons arguing more and more fiercely, Dragon Father walked out from beside Su Yan, grabbed the fox inner demon, looked at the four-tailed fox in the reflection with a fierce glint in his eyes, and shoved the fox inner demon onto its face, making the two inner demons huddle together, covering their faces and making a series of whimpering sounds.

After doing all this, Father Long turned back to Su Yan and said:

"Keep a close eye on your inner demons. They are not only items that increase the success rate during the mortal transformation period, but also one of your means of advancing your cultivation and ultimately saving your life."

The separation of the three inner demons is one of the means to increase the success rate of cultivators shedding their mortal bodies.

The inner demons will become the foundation for their future external manifestations.

Moreover, the ghost cultivators mentioned by the people of the cultivation world are not something that just any cultivator can switch to. The foundation for truly turning to the ghost cultivation path is three external avatars!

In other words, when a cultivator dies physically, they can use their nascent soul to escape and possess another body. However, if the nascent soul also suffers irreversible damage, the cultivator can use three external avatars and three souls to turn to the path of ghost cultivation to cultivate their primordial spirit.

The path of ghost cultivation is a cultivator's ultimate means of survival; the three external avatars are indispensable.

Therefore, the escape of one's inner demon is no small matter. If it is found and brought back, it is not a big deal. However, if it cannot be found, it is no less than the collapse of the heavens and the earth for a cultivator.

As a member of the dragon race, Su Yan could escape instantly with the dragon pearl when his physical body was destroyed, completing a resurrection without damage, much like being reborn. However, if he encountered a powerful enemy, he might have to abandon the dragon pearl and escape with his nascent soul.

The more ways to protect oneself, the better. Therefore, Father Long repeatedly reminded Su Yan to keep an eye on his inner demons.

Once an escape attempt is discovered, all efforts must be made to stop it or mobilize all available connections to bring it back.

"Uh"

When Dragon Father got to this point, the expressions on the faces of the Four-Tailed Fox Demon and the Fox Demon became slightly complicated.

Escape? You make it sound so easy, old man. As your child's inner demon, where can we escape to?

Did he escape to the Yin-Yang Immortal Palace to study? Or did he escape into the deepest dream realm to serve Empress Dowager Su and her family?

The four-tailed fox demon and the fox demon both looked at their original forms and the dragon father with complicated expressions, their faces seeming to say: "You make it sound so easy, show me the way, bro!"

After finishing his lecture to Su Yan, Father Long turned to the pure gold device and Princess Wuxi set up in the stream and asked Su Yan and the others what they were doing in the stream in the dead of winter.

"Nothing's wrong."

Su Yan didn't hide anything. He and the princess had been having picnics lately since they had nothing else to do. Today, the two little foxes, who had never cooked before, decided to cook for themselves and find some fun.

As for the ingredients, they are naturally aquatic creatures salvaged from the celestial realm.

This area of ​​the Eastern State seems to correspond to the Duguang Wilderness region in the Immortal Realm. Any demons or ordinary creatures retrieved from here are creatures of the Duguang Wilderness.

Since they had nothing to do today, Su Yan, the princess, and Jiao Nanwu decided to cook a picnic themselves and have some fun.

The black fish monster and the tadpole demon, along with a dozen or so newly recruited monster underlings, help out.

"?"

Even the well-informed Dragon Father couldn't help but show a slight change in expression and look at Su Yan with surprise when he learned about the function of the salvage device.

Do the little foxes usually play on such big scales during their leisure time?

Note 1.

Taoism does not have the concept of the Three Poisons, which originates from Buddhism. The similar concept in Taoism is the Three Corpse Worms.

The concept of inner demons is partly derived from the Taoist Three Corpse Worms and the Buddhist Three Poisons, but because the names are too awkward and complicated, the Buddhist Three Poisons name was chosen instead.
