Fairy, help me cultivate.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed through the sky, and several extremely beautiful female cultivators flew over quickly.

One of the women, who looked to be around forty years old, called out to Xuanming, "Senior brother, these are just children playing around, what are you doing?"

Xuanming slowly turned around, squinting as he said, "So it's Junior Sister Dongli. Are you here to protect your own?"

"Dong Li is the head of the Danfang lineage. Her alchemy skills are profound, and she has trained many outstanding alchemists in recent years. The most famous of them is Jiang Bailian. Jiang Ling is causing us trouble today because we killed the fallen Qingxu Sect cultivator and stole the limelight from Jiang Bailian at the alchemy conference a few days ago."

Hui Bai said to Chen Yao.

Chen Yao glanced at her in surprise, thinking to himself, "Aren't you supposed to be quite shrewd? How come you seem so clueless about certain things?"

Seeing his gaze, Hui Bai understood his thoughts. She glanced at him sideways, slightly raising her chin with a hint of smugness: "Although Senior Sister doesn't often leave the peak, she still knows the importance of information..."

"So you got cornered in front of Shangde Peak today?"

"..." Hui Bai was exposed by Chen Yao and was embarrassed again. There was no way to have a conversation with him!

After exchanging a few words, Xuanming and Dongli started arguing heatedly, their faces red and necks bulging.

"Xuanming, I'm giving you face in front of so many juniors, don't be ungrateful!" Dongli rolled up her sleeves, but was pulled back by the disciples behind her, preventing her from fighting with Xuanming.

Xuanming ignored her and flew away into the sky.

"You old lecher Xuanming, if you don't release my disciple, I'll expose how you seduced me when I first came to the peak!"

Dongli roared.

Xuanming, who had drifted far away, stumbled and nearly fell into the sea of ​​clouds.

He turned back angrily: "You wretched woman, it was clearly you who seduced me when you saw no hope of advancement! Now that you've entered the alchemy room, you treat me like dirt! Like father, like son. You're a profit-driven person to begin with, so what's so strange about your disciple joining the demonic sect for cultivation? If you don't give it to me, no matter how much you plead, your worthless disciple will spend the rest of his life in the Demon Suppression Prison!"

After saying that, Xuanming flew directly to Refining Soul Peak.

Dongli was dumbfounded.

Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Xuan Ming had captured Jiang Ling after only a few questions; it turned out he had a personal grudge to settle. What a close call…

At this moment, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain between his eyebrows, but a clear and bright energy surged from between his eyebrows into his dantian.

System prompt:

[Congratulations, host! The Demon Soul and Wedding Dress attributes have taken effect, granting you bonus effects. You have absorbed a portion of the demonic energy from the Demon Core and converted it into cultivation points.]

[Cultivation level advanced to Qi Refining Level 8 (3/4000)]

!

Chen Yao was stunned. He had advanced to the next level already? But wasn't the "Demon Soul" attribute only effective within the realm of divine sense?

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Demonic Seal Activates

It's the Demon Seal!

Halfway through his thought, he suddenly realized that the Demon Soul entry could, to a certain extent, utilize the Demon Seal to absorb the demonic energy of the Demon Core and convert it into cultivation!

It seems the Demonic Seal isn't all bad...

Just then, a curvaceous and beautiful female cultivator behind Dongli turned around and glanced at Chen Yao with a vague look in her eyes.

A dim white light suddenly appeared in Chen Yao's dantian.

He sensed something and turned to look; their gazes met in mid-air, one real and one illusory.

The female cultivator blushed slightly, looked away, pursed her red lips, and twisted her fingers together.

"Senior sister, who is that beautiful woman?"

Chen Yao couldn't help but ask.

Hui Bai, who was already unhappy, turned pale: "Jiang Bailian... she's a madwoman."

!

Chen Yao glanced at Hui Bai, thinking, "Senior sister, you wouldn't be saying bad things about someone because you think they're better than you, would you?"

Hui Bai glared at him, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Chen Yao focused on Jiang Bailian on the panel, and her attributes appeared.

Combat Attributes: Constitution (94), Spiritual Power (66569), Comprehension (96)

[Technique Aptitude: Knife (0), Sword (25), Fist (17)]

[Skill Qualifications: Alchemy (888), Weapon Forging (4), Beast Taming (8), Talismans (9)]

Sure enough, he had an extraordinary talent for alchemy.

If I have the opportunity to interact with it, is it possible to obtain the alchemy skill? If my alchemy skills improve, will I be able to refine pills to remove demonic marks myself?

However, it's now clear that the two sides have developed a grudge...

However, they are in the wrong. Could they use this to get closer to Jiang Bailian? Even arguing with her would be fine... Of course, they would have to bring the little brute along.

Hmm, that's a good idea. When we get back to the peak, I'll tell Senior Sister and have her take us to the Pill Refining Room to cause a ruckus!

Chen Yao began to ponder, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.

Dongli saw his smug smile and was furious. She snorted coldly and led her disciples into the sea of ​​clouds.

Hui Bai breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chen Yao, and felt very grateful to him for helping her out of the predicament, and for turning around and tricking the alchemy room without disturbing her senior sister and master.

My junior brother is really good.

"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot. Let's go to Shangde Peak."

As she spoke, she unconsciously took Chen Yao's hand and flew with him to Shangde Peak.

Chen Yao felt the soft, white skin of the hand holding his own, and a delicate fragrance wafted around his nose. His heart fluttered, and a sharp pain suddenly shot through his brow.

"Senior sister..."

He only managed to utter one cry before losing consciousness.

……

……

Tick, tick.

The echoing sound of dripping water seemed amplified countless times, booming in Chen Yao's ears.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a skinned, upside-down corpse came into view.

The corpse's abdominal cavity was empty, its mouth wide open, and its eyes, hung upside down, stared at him intently, telling of endless pain and misery.

Chen Yao suddenly stepped back, and his neck brushed against something cool and slippery.

The cool, smooth substance slowly moved, circling the back of his neck.

That must have been a soft, delicate finger.

"We meet again so soon."

A beautiful, gentle sound, like a spring breeze caressing the water, rang out.

It was that woman in the red dress from the Demonic Sect.

Chen Yao remained motionless, and the cool, smooth sensation on the back of his neck disappeared.

Da-da, da-da.

The woman's high heels echoed softly as they stepped on the ground.

She came to Chen Yao, still wearing a backless long dress with bloodstains trailing on the ground.

Her fingers were still stained with blood as she nudged the hanging corpse.

"I guess you haven't seen that traitor at all these days, have you?"

Chen Yao forced himself to remain calm: "Who is it?"

The woman bent down and leaned closer to him, her scarlet irises appearing as if stained with blood: "You know who it is."

"She...she's too strong..."

The woman straightened up and chuckled: "She is strong, but now..."

Her bloodied fingertips lifted Chen Yao's chin, she bit her lip, smiled, her small tiger teeth gleaming: "I can't resist you..."

Chen Yao was surprised and suspicious.

The woman's expression changed slightly: "This lowly servant's senses are still so sharp. I look forward to hearing good news from you next time..."

The scene before Chen Yao's eyes began to collapse. He opened his eyes blankly, feeling his mouth dry and his body cold.

How can someone who's already at the late stage of Qi Refining still have a fever?

A burning pain between my eyebrows, not intense, but persistent.

He groaned in pain.

An anxious, clear voice sounded in my ear.

It's Yunli and Huibai.

"Master, please save my junior brother!"

Master?

Chen Yao struggled in a daze, looking around, and found himself in a garden full of blooming spirit plants.

Was I sent to Yuhua Garden, the first residence of Hanyu Peak?

Yun Li and Hui Bai, their faces filled with anxiety, were kneeling beside him, kowtowing forward. Their plump, fleshy breasts, one large and one small, were equally alluring.

After a long while, the sound of ice striking jade shattered rang out.

"Bring him in!"

Yun Li and Hui Bai exchanged a delighted look and quickly carried Chen Yao into a lush, green area.

Surrounded by lush greenery, there is a warm spring with rising mist.

With a splash of water, Chen Yao looked up and saw a graceful figure rising from the spring in the mist.

She has a slender figure, full hips and buttocks, a prominent chest, a delicate waist, and legs that are both plump and have a sleek, graceful line.
