What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

This bronze mirror was unearthed from some ruins. Although it is not as miraculous as the Nine Phoenix Furnace, it can observe every corner of the Imperial Pass.

If it were complete and flawless, it could illuminate the entire heavens and earth!

Meng Tianzheng glanced at him sideways and sneered, "You're all grown up now, and you still use that immoral magic artifact to do this kind of peeping. Aren't you ashamed?"

Old Man Minghe wasn't annoyed. He put away the bronze mirror, stroked his beard, and chuckled, "This isn't called spying; it's called knowing yourself and your enemy. If I hadn't been careful, how would I have known that your good disciple had hidden a menace inside the immortal corpse?"

Meng Tianzheng was too lazy to argue with him, so he changed the subject: "Have there been any moves from Wang Changsheng and Jin Taijun?"

Old Man Qingmu shook his head: "I haven't finished my seclusion yet, but I'm about to get my hands on the immortal corpse. I will definitely do my best to break through that threshold."

"Heh... Using a celestial corpse to become an immortal? Let's see if Wang Changsheng will become an immortal first or fall into demonic possession first."

Meng Tianzheng sneered, and tapped his fingers lightly twice behind his back, a faint rune flashing and disappearing at his fingertips.

The invincible member of the Tuogu clan suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and slow: "Never mind him for now, you should think about how to get back to your peak condition."

“Meng Tianzheng, ever since you brought Huang back, you’ve wanted to go into seclusion, but that was delayed because of the little devil. Now that he’s safely back, you should go into seclusion and transform yourself in peace,” sighed the old man Qingmu.

Meng Tianzheng was exceptionally talented; if he hadn't chosen that path back then, he might have already lived a second life.

"I'll go see my two disciples first, then I'll go into seclusion." Meng Tianzheng paused. "While I'm in seclusion, please protect them for me."

"Go ahead, with us at the Imperial Pass, no one will dare to break the rules," the old man Qingmu replied.

"it is good."

Meng Tianzheng didn't say anything more and turned to step out of the ancestral altar.

The night at Diguan was as dark as ink, and the distant Tianyuan shone with a dark light, like a lurking prehistoric beast.

At that moment, downstairs in a restaurant, a group of young people were drunk, while a black figure was being supported by two women, staggering down the street.

"Ah, life in Taiping Pass is so much better. It's full of flowers, and the moon looks rounder, bigger, and even whiter than outside the pass..." Qi Shi'an hiccuped, his eyes inadvertently glancing at the witch.

"Be careful, don't fall."

The Dragon Girl supported Qi Shi'an, gently patting his back with her jade-like hands.

"He gets completely out of control after just a little alcohol, and doesn't even think about using his internal energy to dissipate the effects of the alcohol," the witch muttered.

“Hey, that’s not quite right. Drinking while practicing internal energy is so boring. The point is to get drunk. If you’re not drunk… you don’t feel anything. If you’re not drunk… how can you do anything important in life?” Qi Shi’an said with a smile.

"Pah, that's ridiculous." The witch spat, rolled her eyes, but her face was already flushed.

Whether it was because she had spent too much time with the little devil or because her own mind had become corrupted, she suddenly understood what the little devil meant by "major life events".

"Tonight, I will teach you a divine power that I created, the Heavenly Demon Dance!" Qi Shi'an roared.

"Keep your voice down, don't embarrass yourself," the witch scolded.

"What are you afraid of? Everyone in the Imperial Pass knows you are my people. Anyone who dares to say a word, I'll beat them to death!" Qi Shi'an shouted, and even started practicing drunken boxing.

"Heavenly Demon Dance? With your current form, if you tried to dance it, it would probably be more like a chaotic dance of heavenly demons, and you'd probably just fall flat on your face." A clear voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of mockery.

In the shadows ahead of the street, Shi Hao's figure slowly emerged, a slight smile playing on his lips.

His gaze fell on Qi Shi'an, who was being supported by two stunningly beautiful women, and his eyes looked at him as if he were looking at a drunken monkey.

Qi Shi'an jolted awake, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness as he looked up. Upon seeing who it was, he instinctively straightened his back, but his legs were still weak, and he leaned against the Dragon Girl.

"Little one? You've come at the perfect time! This move of mine is incredibly powerful. I'll teach you two techniques so you can go back and teach Huo Ling'er and Qing Yi. I guarantee they'll be sleepless all night!"

Before he could finish speaking, another string of hiccups followed.

At this moment, the Dragon Girl and the Witch saw a figure beside Shi Hao and their expressions immediately turned solemn.

The witch quickly released Qi Shi'an's hand and bowed respectfully: "Elder!"

The Dragon Girl quickly calmed Qi Shi'an down, then followed suit and greeted him, her ears turning slightly red.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an was still muttering to himself, "What Grand Elder... Grand... uh??"

He turned his head sharply and met a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky, seemingly able to see through everything.

The First Elder, Meng Tianzheng, stood with his hands behind his back. The chaotic energy dissipated slightly, revealing a lean and dignified face as he looked at him calmly.

There was no anger in that gaze, but it instantly brought Qi Shi'an to his senses, and he straightened his feet a little.

He quickly used his internal energy to dispel the smell of alcohol and chuckled, "Elder, you...you've arrived. I was just about to come looking for you."

The elder looked him up and down, his lips twitching almost imperceptibly. His gaze lingered on the drunken man's face for a moment before he said calmly, "Sober now?"

Qi Shi'an straightened up, the smell of alcohol completely dissipated: "I just wanted to experience the intoxication of the mortal world. How could a cultivator possibly get drunk? It's not like it's some kind of celestial wine."

The Grand Elder nodded, waved his hand to isolate the surrounding space, preventing the sound from reaching more than five meters away, and said, "I have come here to inform you that I will be going into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Transformation Realm."

His words shocked the four of them.

"I once used my body as a seed, but an accident occurred, and I nearly died. I was then reborn from the ashes. This time, I used the battle in the Heavenly Beast Forest to temper myself, but unfortunately, I'm still not skilled enough..."

Just then, Qi Shi'an took out a stone niche. It looked ordinary on the outside, but inside it was radiant and full of vitality.

"Elder, these are the last few drops of immortal essence liquid that I took from the mansion of an immortal king during my exploration of the ancient lands of immortals. They may help you successfully transform."

The elder's brow twitched slightly. He took the stone niche, examined it for a moment, and his gaze narrowed.

Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid was rare even in the previous era. It could help people repair their origins and reshape their true form, and it was indeed very effective for him who was preparing for his transformation.

"You don't seem to care at all."

The elder smiled slightly and took the stone niche without the slightest hesitation.

Qi Shi'an scratched his head and laughed, "I don't mind. I've already used half the pool. These are the last few drops."

The elder put the stone niche into his sleeve, gave Qi Shi'an a deep look, and said solemnly, "Although your scheme against Wang Changsheng was ingenious, Wang Changsheng is no ordinary person. You still need to be careful."

"Elder, rest assured, that demonic seed is rooted inside the heart and has long since turned into particles, flowing through every part of the flesh and blood. In addition, it is concealed by the immortal aura of the immortal corpse itself, making it extremely difficult to detect."

Qi Shi'an was quite confident, "Given Wang Changsheng's personality, he will definitely go into seclusion immediately to study the immortal corpse. By the time he realizes something is wrong, the demonic energy will have already attacked his heart."

"Once I reach the Supreme Realm, or open up six or seven divine treasures, Wang Changsheng will already be a demonic corpse."

Wang Changsheng was, after all, a half-step True Immortal, and his strength was comparable to that of the Grand Elder.

Moreover, it was the soul of a fallen immortal king from the Boundary Sea that possessed him, making him the current Wang Changsheng. To refine him into a demonic corpse would take even more time and effort than for an ordinary supreme being.

The elder nodded and did not ask any further questions. This little devil was cautious in his actions and had a backup plan for every step, so there was no need to worry too much.

"You know it yourself, that's good. During my seclusion, you two should be careful in your actions, especially the Wang family and the Jin family!" the elder earnestly advised.

"understand!"

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao bowed respectfully and saw the Grand Elder off.

"I hope the Grand Elder can recover to his peak condition, which would mean he has regained his potential to become an immortal," Shi Hao murmured to himself.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Qi Shi'an looked down at his right palm, where a faint demonic flame mark appeared.

"What's wrong?" Shi Hao noticed that his expression was off.

"nothing."

Qi Shi'an remained calm, but a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself, "You couldn't wait any longer? Wang Changsheng, I prepared this gift especially for you. You'd better study it carefully."

"Let's go, a moment of bliss on this spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

The next moment, Qi Shi'an, along with the Dragon Girl and the Witch, disappeared into the night.

"Witch, are you going to learn the Heavenly Demon Dance or not?"

"Go to hell! Listen to this yourself, does this sound like anything respectable?"

"I think it's quite serious. How about I teach the Dragon Girl first?"

Is this... really serious?

"If you're not proper, your children will take my surname!"

"..."

Chapter 375 A Storm Rises Before the Hall of Military Merit

"Little devil, this... this is the Heavenly Demon Dance you were talking about? The postures are so strange..."

"Witch, you are ignorant. The essence of the Heavenly Demon Dance lies in the word 'twist'."

"But you... ah, don't move... um..."

Amidst the rain and clouds, the witch's long hair fell onto the pillow, and her white gauze dress was disheveled.

In the candlelight, her graceful figure was faintly visible beneath the thin veil; the witch's long legs were slightly curled up, and her cheeks were flushed.

Qi Shi'an chuckled, but his hands were anything but still active: "You truly live up to your title of Celestial Fox Fairy. You learn so quickly and perfectly."

"Pooh!"

The witch spat and turned her rosy face away.

Qi Shi'an laughed heartily, then pulled the Dragon Girl into his arms. He hooked the ribbon of her light blue gauze dress with his fingertips, and with a flick, the ribbon fell away, revealing her fair shoulders.

He leaned close to the Dragon Girl's ear, his warm breath brushing against her: "The ultimate secret of this Heavenly Demon Dance lies in the simultaneous cultivation of three people..."

"Don't try to fool me with that kind of dirty talk!"

The witch raised her foot to kick lightly, but Qi Shi'an grabbed her ankle.

He grinned mischievously and said, "The essence of these three people's cultivation lies in the word 'entanglement'."

As the candlelight flickered, whispers and soft breaths mingled, and three intertwined shadows swayed and rose and fell within the tent, filling the room with the essence of spring.

······

The next day, Qi Shi'an awoke from his reverie, looked at the two stunning women beside him, smiled gently, covered them with blankets, then put on his robes and walked out of the cave.

Xuanyuan Jingtian, who was practicing his martial arts, saw a black figure walk out and quickly ran forward.

"Master, you've been in seclusion for over two months, and you've finally decided to come out. By the way, where are your two mistresses? Why haven't they come out? Is it because...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Yuan Jingtian's mouth was covered by Qi Shi'an's large hand, as if afraid that the boy would say something inappropriate.

"Don't pry into the affairs of adults."

Just then, a girl with pigtails came skipping along and shouted, "Big brother, some well-dressed people are looking for you."

The girl wasn't being rude; she simply knew these people were from the Wang and Jin families, two powerful families known for their longevity and prowess, and the children had long remembered it.

"Little Shuyu, you can't say things like that. You have to be polite and courteous, and be a little lady."

Qi Shi'an patted Xuan Yuan Shuyu's head, and when he saw who it was from afar, he changed the subject: "Well, let's not be too civilized. As long as we don't use civilized methods, we're invincible."

He put his hands behind his back, slowly walked out of the tribe's gate, glanced at Jin Zhan and Wang Xi, and then looked at the several unfriendly-looking old men behind him.

"Oh, what rare guests! Aren't you Young Master Jin and Fairy Wang? It's such a bother for you to come all the way here just to deliver something so small," Qi Shi'an said with a smile.

Jin Zhan's face darkened, and his fists clenched so tightly in his sleeves that they cracked, but remembering the instructions of his elders, he forced down his anger.

He raised his hand and tossed out a spatial artifact, saying in a deep voice, "These are the things I promised you before. Check them carefully, so that you won't say that our two great families are defaulting on their debts."

Qi Shi'an glanced at the tribe behind him and asked, "Is there any more?"

Jin Zhan said impatiently, "They've been exonerated, and no one will dare to conscript them for the next ten years."

"Alright, I'll go to the Hall of Military Merits to confirm later."

Qi Shi'an nodded, took the spatial artifact, and put it directly into his sleeve, without any intention of counting it.

The 70% treasures and ancient scriptures he mentioned were all relative. Who knows how much wealth the Wang and Jin families actually possess? It's all up to them to decide.

But he didn't care about gains or losses, because once Wang Changsheng and Jin Taijun completely degenerated into demonic corpses, both of the two immortal families would be his, and he would have everything he needed, without losing anything.

Wang Xi stood to the side, remaining silent throughout. Her gaze lingered on Qi Shi'an's face for a moment, and when she saw that he had even skipped the counting, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She knew this person too well; he never did anything to put himself at a disadvantage. His quick acceptance of the offer made her feel uneasy.

"Qi Shi'an, aren't you afraid we'll tamper with it inside?" Wang Xi finally spoke, her voice cold.

Qi Shi'an waved his hand and smiled faintly: "Afraid? Why should I be afraid? At worst, I'll carry two immortal artifacts to your ancestral land and test the power of the Execution Platform there. Anyway, I haven't drunk blood in a long time. What I'm afraid of is that the guillotine is a bit dull."

Wang Xi's face was gloomy. This man is capable of anything when he goes crazy. If he is really pushed to the limit, he will go to the Wang family's ancestral land and bring out the Execution Platform. How many people in the Wang family will be left then?

Jin Zhan took a deep breath, suppressing his irritation, and said coldly, "Qi Shi'an, let's call this matter settled today. Don't bring up that immortal corpse again in the future."

Qi Shi'an tilted his head, revealing an innocent expression: "Immortal Corpse? What Immortal Corpse? Your Wang and Jin factions obtained an Immortal Corpse, what does that have to do with me? I've never even seen a hair of an Immortal Corpse."

When Jin Zhan saw the little devil pretending to be stupid, his face darkened, a surge of anger rose within him, and his chest felt inexplicably tight.
