Please be my partner.

Nasus knocked the little demon's soul out of its body with one claw, then clenched his claws and sucked the little demon's soul into his claws.

When Nasus was dealing with the strongest little demon, the other little demons also fell into an illusion and fainted because Xiao Liuli shook his tail.

Nasus played with the soul in his claws, and tiny rays of blue light kept splashing out. In just a moment, the soul became extremely illusory, as if it could dissipate at any time.

After getting the information he wanted from the soul, Nasus directly stuffed the soul back into his claws. The little demon on the ground let out a soft groan, but did not wake up.

Nasus said, "According to reports, there is a Tiger King three hundred miles away. He is considered the most powerful demon king within a thousand miles. These little demons don't know anything about places further away."

Spike nodded slightly and said softly, "Woof."

Nasus nodded and said, "Indeed, since it's the Demon King, it should know more. Even if we just want to get some information, we should go and meet this big cat."

The three dogs no longer walked slowly, but quickly rushed towards where the Tiger King was.

The three hundred miles passed in a flash, and the three dogs arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Tiger King was. The mountain was not high, and you could vaguely see many rough stone buildings on the top of the mountain.

As soon as they arrived here, the three dogs frowned. They all smelled a strong smell of blood. Unlike the sweet fragrance of Xiao Honglian, the bloody smell was mixed with a strong fishy smell that made them feel nauseous.

As they climbed the mountain, the little demons that blocked the way were controlled by Xiao Liuli using magic. When they approached the top of the mountain, they saw the source of the bloody smell. It was a huge pool of blood. A human-shaped black-striped giant tiger about ten feet tall was lying on the edge of the blood pool, licking it, like a cat drinking water, constantly sending blood into its mouth.

Suddenly, the black-striped tiger stopped eating and slowly raised its head, revealing a ferocious face covered in blood. Cruelty and tyranny flashed in its bright yellow eyes. A terrifying grin spread across the corners of its mouth, and it said, "I hadn't even finished eating that monkey last time, and now another little bug is rushing to add to my meal?!"

Spike woofed, and little Liuli whimpered in response.

Nasus nodded and said, "Yes, I also find this big cat annoying for no reason. I was thinking of taming him, but now it seems I'd better just kill him!"

While the three dogs were communicating, the Tiger King had already stood up, pulled out the red copper knife from behind him, and suddenly a gust of evil wind rose around him, and he appeared in front of the three dogs in an instant.

His eyes were filled with cruelty and excitement, and he chopped down the red copper knife with a surge of blood, as if he had foreseen the three mutilated corpses.

Spike took a step forward, his body stretched against the wind, and in an instant he far surpassed the Tiger King. The latter really became a small insect in front of Spike, and the copper knife could only cut Spike's toenails without even a scratch.

The Tiger King's expression froze as he stared blankly at the toenails in front of him that were taller than him. He slowly raised his head and met a pair of cold eyes.

Tiger King's eyes turned horrified, and he stammered, "Wait...wait a minute, this is..."

Spike ignored it and stepped on it. The Tiger King and the pool of blood were all turned into powder under this step.

Spike frowned, raised his paw and shook off the sticky blood on it, looking very disgusted.

Little Liuli jumped away even further, fearing that the blood would stick to its smooth fur.

Nasus didn't care. He had seen far more disgusting things in his biological experiments before, so this was just a small matter. He floated over to the Tiger King, who had been shattered into pieces, and said with a hint of regret, "Please have some mercy. Leave the body intact. I can't use it like this."

The little demon on the mountaintop had originally expected the Tiger King to show his might and tear the attacking enemies to pieces, but he didn't expect such an outcome and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Of course, although many people fled in panic, there were also many smart ones.

A little demon with a bird's head and a human body, covered in black feathers, turned its gaze slightly and quickly made up its mind. It flew directly to Spike and the others, prostrated itself on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Three...three kings, this little demon...this little demon is willing to...submit."

Nasus looked at the bird demon and said with a smile, "Little thing, aren't you afraid that we will eat you directly?"

The bird demon was terrified, but his words became smoother. He said, "You three great kings are really joking. How can I, such a filthy little thing, be worthy of being eaten by you three great kings? Even if you want to eat, you should eat those great old demons or the spiritual fruits of heaven and earth."

Nasus smiled and said, "You're quite clever. I'll give you a task. Can you do it?"

The bird demon was overjoyed and said, "The king has commanded me, and I will go through fire and water to fulfill it!"

Nasus pointed to the chaos on the mountain and said, "Gather some men and put an end to this chaos. Those who are willing to submit will be forgiven, and those who are unwilling to submit..."

Nether paused. He originally wanted to tell them to leave if they refused to surrender, but then he thought that this was the Shiwan Mountains, and the demon race believed in the law of the jungle. Showing magnanimity would not only be of no use, but would make other demon kings think that they were weak and could be bullied, which might lead to more trouble.

Just as Nasus was about to change his words, the harpy said, "Very well, my king. I understand what you mean. Please proceed!"

The bird demon hunched its body and took a few steps back before flapping its wings and flying away.

The bird demon's actions had long been noticed by many little demons. They either regretted not being as decisive as the bird demon, or they were paying attention and wanted to see how the three new big demons treated them.

As soon as the bird demon left the three big demons, these little demons immediately surrounded it.

The bird demon was pretending to be powerful at this time. Even though among the monsters surrounding him were his former superiors, he was still confident and gave orders directly in a condescending tone.

Even if these monsters were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to show it at all. Instead, they all smiled and carried out the orders attentively.

In just over ten minutes, the chaos on the mountain was quelled by the monsters. After realizing that they would not be killed, almost all the monsters chose to surrender to the new monster king.

What? Revenge for Tiger King?!

Didn't you see that the first ones to surrender were the ones most loyal to Tiger King?!

The place where the Tiger King originally lived was more like a simple cave than a palace. Even the "throne" inside was made of stones and unknown bones. The entire cave was filled with various body parts, and the foul smell made Xiao Liuli refuse to enter.

Although Spike and Nasus didn't care much about these things, they would not suffer any hardship. After taking out some valuable treasures from the cave, they directly destroyed the entire cave with one blow.

After all, the flavors in the cave have already been marinated, and there is basically no room for redecoration. Instead of doing that, it would be better to tear it down and rebuild it.

However, when Spike was about to manipulate the power of the earth to build a residential hall, he was stopped by Nasus. Although Spike was puzzled, he did not insist.

Nasus looked at the thousands of monsters that were gathered together and were still trembling. These were almost all of the Tiger King's subordinates.

Nasus coughed lightly and said to the bird demon, "From today on, Tiger Head Mountain will be renamed Dog Head Mountain..."

It pointed at Spike and said, "This is the Great Demon King!"

Then he pointed at himself and said, "I am the Second Demon King!"

Finally, he pointed at Xiao Liuli and said, "This is the Third Demon King!"

Spike was speechless, and Xiao Liuli also showed a look of disgust.

The little demons looked at each other in confusion at first, until the bird demon took the lead in congratulating, and then there was a chaotic roar from below.

Nasus reached out and suppressed the monsters, but unfortunately the monsters didn't understand and continued to roar sporadically. Nasus simply released the pressure of his soul, shocking all the monsters. Then he continued, "Bird Demon!"

The bird demon immediately stepped forward and said in a servile manner, "Second Demon King, I'm here!"

Nasus nodded and said, "Harpy doesn't sound nice. From today on, you will be called Little Drillwind."

The bird demon showed an expression of great joy and bowed down repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"

Nasus said, "Little Zuanfeng, go pick a few helpers and lead some little demons to mine rocks and build a palace for these kings!"

"Yes!" Xiao Zuanfeng responded loudly: "As ordered by the king!"

After receiving Nasus's order, Zuanfeng seemed even more proud, and the other monsters looked at him with envy and desire.

There was nothing to say. Xiao Zuanfeng selected a few monsters who were on good terms with him before and whose strength was just enough to be considered as his own. He also selected a few of the strongest monsters under the Tiger King and asked them to be his helpers.

Afterwards, thousands of monsters were randomly divided into teams, each led by the helpers, to go and mine stones in the mountains.

Seeing Xiao Zuanfeng's actions, Nasus was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this monster was quite smart.

Although the monsters are all strong and thick-skinned, building a palace is not an easy task, especially since Nasus is not someone who can be easily fooled. A random word from him may make them start over again, causing the hard work of hundreds of monsters for most of the day to go to waste.

However, Nasus only gave instructions to Xiao Zuanfeng and put the pressure on Xiao Zuanfeng and his helpers. In order to please the new demon king, the latter naturally waved their whips hard to make the lower-level demons speed up their progress.

In this way, in just three days, a palace that looked fairly decent was built.

Nasus nodded in satisfaction and said, "Tonight we'll have a feast, with plenty of wine and meat. Also, Xiao Zuanfeng, you managers have done a great job, and I'll give you a special reward!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from the chief steward Xiao Zuanfeng to the little demons working there cheered and praised the king for his wisdom and bravery.

Nasus returned to the palace. Spike was meditating with his eyes closed, and little Liuli was wagging his tail boredly.

Nasus smiled and said, "Let the management below do the work and whip us. As the bosses, we just sit back and reap the rewards. Finally, we can give out some rewards and we'll naturally receive the cheers and praise of these people."

Spike raised his eyelids and didn't care about it. If he used the power of the earth, such a palace would be built in a few minutes and would not require so much effort.

However, Spike could also understand Nasus's approach. No matter how powerful it was, could it take care of everything?

Planting and collecting spiritual fruits, mining minerals in the mountains... and so on, Spike and the others can't do all these by themselves, right?

Nasus's practice of training 'working' monsters is completely in their best interests.

In the 800-li territory ruled by the Tiger King, there are three natural spiritual fruit forests that can produce several good spiritual fruits, and several mines, the most precious of which is a small wrought iron mine.

Although the grade of wrought iron is not high, it is a necessary raw material for many low-level magical tools, and there is no need to worry about sales. Moreover, iron mother essence may be produced in wrought iron ore, which is a medium-grade material comparable to black iron. The red copper knife used by the Tiger King has a lot of iron mother essence added to it, but because of the poor refining method, it seems a bit of a waste.

In addition to these, there are a number of other renewable resources, as well as the occasional non-renewable resource.

All these things added together can bring annual income that is worth about fifty years of cultivation resources.

However, this is only from Mellen's perspective.

According to the information Nasus obtained from the Tiger King's soul, this fool even did something stupid like using a large amount of iron ore just to exchange for a few jars of wine.

From the Tiger King's perspective, these may not be stupid things.

After Melen got this news, he couldn't help but sigh that his previous vision was still a little narrow. He had known less in Luanfeng City before!

Of course, Melen was just thinking about it. To be honest, those aristocratic families were nothing more than the white gloves of more powerful forces, and the benefits that could actually fall into their hands were actually not much.

Chapter 610 Return and Cultivation

More than half a month later, Melen returned to the Jinyu Immortal Sect.

The reason why he didn't talk about life and ideals with those top-notch girls on the road was mainly because Melen had just arrived in the fairyland and many things were not on the right track yet, so it was not appropriate to spend too much time on enjoyment.

Only after the foundation of the Jinyu Xianzong is established, will Melen take the time to tour the beautiful mountains and rivers of the fairyland and admire the colorful and enchanting beauties.

After returning to the Jinyu Xianzong, Melen's first thing was to go to the sect's trading market.

The Jinyu Xianzong has many trading markets, and they are all open to the public. On the one hand, this can help the sect trade with the world, and on the other hand, it also makes it convenient for the sect's disciples to buy or sell resources at any time.

The trading market that Melen came to was called Yihu Market, and the reason he came here was because it was close. Yihu Market was the closest to his cave.

They arrived at the Qizhen Pavilion without any obstructions. It was here that Melen had purchased the fighting spirit.

Because Melen was wearing the attire of an inner sect disciple, he was invited directly into an elegant hall, where he was served not only the finest tea but also a special steward from the Qizhen Pavilion to serve him.

The deacon's surname was Luo. He looked middle-aged, with a carefully trimmed goatee. He liked to squint his eyes when he smiled, giving him an overall shrewd look.

After a brief greeting, Mellen didn't waste any words and directly took out a storage bracelet, which contained a hundred years of cultivation resources.

The deacon of the Treasure Pavilion looked calm after seeing it. This amount of resources was just a passing occurrence for him. He saw it a lot in his daily life. It was only because of Mellen's special status that he needed to receive him in person.

Deacon Luo asked, "What would you like to buy this time, Mr. Mellen?"

Melen said, "The will to fight should be as pure as possible."

In fact, Spike doesn't have such high requirements for the purity of his fighting spirit. The reason why he says it should be as pure as possible is just to hide Spike's characteristics. Even if it costs extra resources for this, it is acceptable.

Deacon Luo nodded and said, "Okay, let's keep the same quality as last time. Will all these training resources be replaced?"

Mellen nodded.

After receiving confirmation, Deacon Luo immediately issued instructions to the waiters, asking them to count the cultivation resources, estimate their value, and extract an equivalent amount of fighting spirit from the warehouse.

Mellen and Deacon Luo naturally didn't need to worry about these trivial matters. They just needed to drink tea and chat while waiting.

From Deacon Luo, Melen learned a lot of interesting stories about Yihu Market. If he was smart and clever enough, he would be able to decipher some hidden information from them.

For example, the secret realm of Danfengling of the Dongling Kang family is about to open. Every time this happens, the Kang family will invite talents from all over the world to go to the secret realm to hunt for treasures.

For merchants, the real point is that there is a special blood-killing insect in the secret realm of Danfengling. Once attached by this insect, the person will immediately be infected with a special blood poison, and the flesh, blood and bones in the body will dissolve into blood in a short period of time.

In order to neutralize this blood poison, a rare spiritual plant called blood-containing grass must be used.

This blood-containing grass has very few uses under normal circumstances and is not easy to preserve. Therefore, as long as you stock up on a batch before the Danfengling Secret Realm opens, you will basically make a profit.

Of course, the premise is that your information must be accurate.

Among all the news, the only one that interested Melen was that the extremely rare "Fish and Dragon Dance" might appear in the narrow gap in the sky over the Tiannan Sea in the next few months.

The so-called "Fish-Dragon Dance" is an ancient ritual belonging to the dragon clan. In this ritual, all sea monsters with dragon blood can participate. If they can successfully complete the ritual, they can purify their dragon blood to a certain extent.

Legend has it that if a carp can win the 'Fish-Dragon Dance' nine times in a row, it can evolve into a divine dragon comparable to a true immortal overnight.

However, the 'Fish Dragon Dance' is not safe. During the ceremony, anyone can fish, and the big monsters in the ocean are not allowed to interfere.

Because this itself is also part of the ritual test.

It is said that someone from the Jinyu Xianzong once caught a colorful koi during the "Dance of the Fish and Dragon". From then on, this person was blessed with good fortune and could obtain various opportunities and treasures wherever he went. In just a few years, he successfully achieved the status of a true immortal.

Melen was quite interested in the fisherman's feast. He felt that with his status as the God of Fishing, it would be easy for him to gain benefits from the "Fish Dragon Dance".

Unfortunately, the same thing still applies. He should now focus all his attention on cultivation and not be distracted by material things. So, he could only shake his head with regret.

While they were talking, the transaction was completed. Mellen did not stay long and left after saying goodbye to Deacon Luo.

After returning to the cave, Mellen first confirmed the current status of the three dogs, and then opened the purchased fighting spirits one by one and passed them to Spike through the contract.

During this process, Melen was not idle either. He began to study the secret method of [Heaven's Heart Belongs to Me].

The reason why the Jinyu Xianzong classified [Heaven's Heart Belongs to Me] into the practice method is because [Heaven's Heart Belongs to Me] can indeed comprehend the most suitable practice method for oneself from heaven and earth by "using one's own heart to reflect Heaven's Heart".
