People are traveling to the west, starting to steal ginseng fruit

Taoist He asked in a cold voice.

Volume 24: Chapter : Evil Alchemy

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The toad demon staggered in.

When the weasel demon heard his men's behavior, he was frightened and immediately prepared to slip away through the back door.

"Is that black wolf demon from the north attacking us?"

After this small cave was ownerless, several monsters around it started to covet it for a long time. The weasel monster was able to occupy this place not because of its strong strength, but because other monsters did not dare to come, so he thought of staying here for a while.

While the other monsters haven't reacted, occupy the area for a while longer.

If someone tries to steal my things, I'll just pack up and leave!

"No! The black wolf monster, the king, didn't come, and neither did the nearby monsters!"

The toad demon signaled his king not to panic, because the truth was much more serious than this.

"A great immortal has come and said he wants to settle a score with you!"

Weasel Demon: "You...!?"

"Are you a little demon from around here? How long have you lived here?"

Taoist He came out from behind and asked. He could clearly sense the traces of the rat demon's activities in the cave.

The weasel demon had some cultivation skills. When he saw Taoist He's posture, he knew he couldn't escape and could only accept his fate with tears in his eyes.

"Reporting to the Immortal! I have lived in this vicinity for eighty-seven years."

"Tell me what happened on this mountain. If you hide anything, I will turn you into firewood and put it in my alchemy furnace."

Taoist He said in a cold voice.

The weasel demon hated the rotten toad under his command to death. With such a big demon coming to his door and breathing heavily while talking, he could escape early and save his life.

"Great Immortal, please spare my life! I will tell you everything I know!"

The weasel demon told all the big and small things that happened on the mountain like pouring beans.

He cleverly started from the Ten Thousand Demons Conference, saying that the black bear demon had a mouse military advisor, and his business was getting bigger and bigger, and that he later organized the Ten Thousand Demons Conference in order to seek immortality.

"Seeking immortality?"

Taoist He was puzzled. This rat demon had gained some knowledge by following him. Could he just ask for immortality casually?

"Yes! I heard they found a treasure called ginseng fruit. If you eat one, you can live for 47,000 years. If you eat a few, you will live as long as the sky!"

The weasel demon spoke cautiously, and he also said it with some ill intentions, hoping that Taoist He would hear about the benefits of ginseng fruit and go looking for the treasure.

The weasel demon knew very well that, regardless of whether there was such a treasure or not, if there really was one, would it be their turn?

The black bear's hundreds of years of cultivation were gone in an instant. If he died with his level of cultivation, he might even be used as fertilizer in the fields by others.

It would be great if I could trick this guy into going.

Taoist He saw through the weasel demon's little thoughts at a glance, but was too lazy to point them out.

"Ginseng fruit?"

But when I heard this name, I was suddenly startled.

"Did they go and steal the ginseng fruit?"

Taoist He felt that the clue was suddenly cut off.

Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain. I just don't know where this guy hid my alchemy furnace!

“How foolish!!”

Taoist He said bitterly.

At this point, we can only activate the backup plan.

There was a reason why he was thinking about the rat demon. He took the rat demon in as a boy in preparation for refining the elixir in the future. There could be substitutes for the furnace, but there was no substitute for the elixir materials!

Fortunately, he made a backup option decades ago.

Back then at the foot of Mount Qishan, he saw a centipede demon that had swallowed up his brother's soul before birth and had developed a special magical power. Perhaps it would have an unexpected effect as a material for alchemy.

The little demons in front of him were so weak that Taoist He didn't even want to attack them.

After making up his mind, he turned and flew towards Mount Qishan.

After Taoist He arrived at Mount Qishan, he took a look around but did not find any movement from the centipede monster.

"strangeness."

Because he had taught the centipede spirit the method of refining pills with an experimental mentality, to see what he could do, so Taoist He did not leave any traces, so it is a bit troublesome to contact him now.

"Let me count on my fingers."

Taoist He was demoted to the mortal world, but in the end he became a god in heaven, so his methods are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He has some experience in using divination to find people and things.

Taoist He pinched his fingers and chanted some incantations, then began to tell fortunes.

"Sincerity is the key to success...Sincerity is the key to success..."

He muttered words.

The last hexagram showed that the centipede monster was gone?!

"died?!"

Taoist He frowned deeply, thinking that this matter was a bit strange. There were no powerful cultivators near Mount Qishan. This centipede monster was very powerful, so how could it die so easily?

"I remember that this centipede monster has three brothers and sisters. His sister is also a very scheming monster. Even if he encounters danger, his sister will endure it, right?"

So Taoist He began to calculate the number of the centipede monster's sister.

After the calculation, the result was still the same: death!

"??"

Taoist He was very puzzled. There was no trace of a major battle on Mount Qishan. If the brother and sister's cultivation had been destroyed, there shouldn't have been any movement at all.

"I saw that his little brother was the most scheming back then. He would definitely protect himself if he encountered danger. Let's find him and ask him the truth."

Taoist He thought of the last method.

Start fortune-telling again.

The result is that the hexagram still shows death.

Taoist He was silent for a long time. "My divination numbers are so weird? Whoever I predict will die?"

"hateful!!!"

When Taoist He was getting angry, a little demon was sneaking up on him from the foot of Mount Qishan.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "Strange, strange, why is there no one in the mountains?"

He is a minion sent to the human world by the centipede demon to seduce people into the evil way and collect human blood pills for the centipede demon.

This human blood pill is an evil thing. If you use evil methods to refine it on a newborn baby, you can make a pill. After eating it, the lifespan can be increased by one year. It is like taking away the creation of others for your own use.

However, because of its vicious method, it was rejected by the righteous way, and this evil practice could only become a ghost in the end.

The little demon went up the mountain with doubts in his heart. When he reached the mountainside, he felt something was wrong. Mount Qi had become too quiet.

Before, the centipede demon called himself the Seat God of Qishan, and the whole Qishan was very lively.

There must be something fishy about the silence now.

"Certainly."

The little demon was about to turn around when he found that he couldn't move.

Taoist He slowly descended.

"Are you a subordinate of the centipede monster?"

Taoist He asked in a cold voice.

He sensed a hint of the centipede demon's aura from the little demon, and felt as if a ray of hope had finally appeared.

"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me! I was forced to do this! That centipede monster captured my entire family and forced me to make blood pills. I had no choice but to do this!!"

The little demons suffered miserably.

"If you cry again, I will kill you."

Taoist He could tell at a glance that the little demon was lying, so he spoke directly and angrily.

The little demon was also smart. Seeing this, he knew that it was useless to play the victim, so he had to become honest.

"Are you the enemy of the centipede monster?"

Volume 25: Chapter : Fellow Travellers

The little demon cautiously tested it.

He was ready to find out the other party's background. He had already thought about it. If this person was the enemy of the centipede monster, then he would hate the centipede monster as well. If he was the friend of the centipede monster, then the centipede monster would be his best king.

"Don't try to be so cunning. If you want to survive, just answer my questions. Do you think you can fool me?"

After Taoist He finished speaking, he looked into the little demon's eyes. The little demon felt as if he had been looked into utter pieces.

The little demon shuddered and felt as cold as if he had fallen into hell.

"hiss……"

"You ask, sir! I certainly wouldn't dare play tricks on you."

The little demon knew that if he wanted to survive he had to tell the truth and satisfy the other party, otherwise no matter how nice the words were, he would die.

"Are you a subordinate of the centipede monster?"

"Exactly. I was originally a patrolling demon. One day, the centipede demon taught me how to refine blood pills and asked me to persuade ordinary people to get more blood pill ingredients."

Things like blood pills seem to be able to increase lifespan, but the conditions are extremely harsh. One pill can only increase lifespan by one year. Anyone with a little knowledge will not mess with this thing. If you do too much of things involving human lives, you will always bring about fatal disasters.

Everything has a cause and an effect. If you commit too many sins of killing, you will not be able to bear it and will inevitably suffer the consequences.

The centipede demon knew this, so he cleverly sent his men to deceive mortals into doing these dirty things.

"go on."

The centipede demon didn't get the blood pill to eat himself, but probably wanted to make an elixir. In other words, he had found the right ingredients for making an elixir. He had searched for decades before finding a suitable rat demon. He didn't know what kind of demon he had encountered, which made him start making an elixir in a hurry.

"I bewitched a daydreamy official in Lanxian Town. I tricked him into eating a blood pill, then gave him some benefits and a strange method of cultivation. He would always help me collect the materials, and I would refine the pills. I would give him some of the benefits, and then give the rest of the blood pills to the centipede demon."

The little demon answered truthfully, and he also took out the storage bag, in which there were more than a dozen blood pills.

"Ah."

Taoist He snorted coldly, and nameless white fire flew from his fingers and then wrapped around the little demon.

"what!"

The little demon only let out a scream before turning into ashes.

Miraculously, only the little demon's body turned to ashes, while its clothes were intact.

Taoist He bent down to pick up the storage bag, took a look at it, then rummaged through the ashes a few more times and found a storage magic weapon.

Break through the magic power restrictions above and find hundreds of blood pills hidden inside.

This little demon is quite bold and lets the centipede monster work for him. I guess that stupid centipede doesn't realize the problem, otherwise this little demon wouldn't be so arrogant.

"Mr. Lu from Lanxian Town..."

Taoist He looked towards the southeast, then transformed into a stream of light and flew away.

-

"You're talking about Mr. Lu! He lives in the west end of the town. That piece of land belongs to Mr. Lu. It used to belong to the east end as well. He felt sorry for the people in the town who couldn't get enough food, so he gave the land in the east to us."

"Yes, Mr. Lu is a very good man."
