Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 110-109: Yin God Demon Lord Daoist
"Is the champion team treating everyone to dinner?"

The news somehow got out, and that very night many people came to see it.

Yu Shishi, that shameless woman, actually brought her entire team to freeload a meal. Li Chunfeng felt that they weren't there to eat, but to take revenge!

Since we can't "avenge our grievances" on the battlefield, we'll eat our way back to them at the dinner table.

Others, whether they had faced each other before or not, also came to make an appearance.

Chen Lingsu and Jiang Lele, two wealthy young women, happily entertained them, not caring at all about the small amount of money.

Hu Yifei, on the other hand, didn't look too pleased looking at these people who had such enormous appetites.

When Huang Tianhe appeared at the door with a menacing look, Hu Yifei almost jumped up, thinking that this guy was here to start a fight.

Li Chunfeng looked at him calmly.

Huang Tianhe walked in expressionlessly, flipped his hand, and two gift boxes appeared in his hand. He handed them to Chen Lingsu and Jiang Lele, saying, "Congratulations on opening your divine apertures. From now on, we are fellow Daoists."

The two women were immediately surprised and quickly accepted the gift. "Thank you. Let's have a drink together. The wine is a spirit wine provided by Xiao Li."

"That's annoying."

Huang Tianhe sat down politely.

Li Chunfeng gestured and poured him a cup of wine.

"Of all these people who come to freeload, you're the only one who brought a gift. I didn't realize you were such a thoughtful person."

Huang Tianhe's face was sour. "Coming to congratulate two fellow Daoists on opening their divine apertures, it's only natural to bring gifts. Is it any wonder that someone comes empty-handed?"

"Hey, Huang Daxiong, what do you mean?" Yu Shishi was the first to explode.

Huang Tianhe seemed to know her well, and without even looking at her, he picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp, his face instantly turning bright red. "Hiss, good wine! Please pour me another glass."

Since the visitor was a guest, Li Chunfeng, as the host, naturally satisfied him and continued to pour him drinks.

Huang Tianhe downed another cup in one gulp, and did so three times in a row, drinking five cups in a row before stopping, his face completely flushed.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Yu Shishi snorted coldly, "Of course I will have a gift, and it will be the same if I give it to you later."

As he spoke, he pulled out two small magical artifacts. "I'm sorry, it was my oversight. These are my old flying swords, presented as a congratulatory gift. I hope you two fellow Daoists won't find them offensive."

"No, no, it's an honor for us to have you here for dinner," Chen Lingsu and Jiang Lele hurriedly declined.

After some tugging and pulling, the girls finally accepted the gifts.

Huang Tianhe drank five cups in a row, and after a while, he asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

"A spirit wine brewed by a Blood Refining Martial Master, without a name."

"It's said that spirit wine brewed by powerful martial artists must be of high quality. This wine contains a thunderous energy; this martial artist must have cultivated thunder magic?"

"This man is named Feng Yang. He is the personal disciple of Guan Yu, the Saint of the Heavenly Blade, and he cultivates the Thunder Prison Blade Scripture!"

"A disciple of the Martial Saint..." Huang Tianhe was somewhat surprised.

"Want to drink again?"

"I'm not drinking anymore. I rarely drink. I came here to add you as a friend so we can have another drink together in Yuancheng sometime."

"There's a chance."

After the two added each other as friends on their phones, Huang Tianhe then manifested the Boundary Key and added Yuancheng as a friend before stopping. He then got up and politely took his leave.

"I'm leaving too! Li Chunfeng, see you in the martial world someday!"

Yu Shishi also took her leave. Those who came to freeload might not actually be there for the meal; they just wanted to vent their frustrations.

Now that I've vented my anger, there's no point in keeping it.

"Good luck in the individual competition, and try to get a good ranking."

Yu Shishi raised her little fist, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, displaying a dashing and heroic demeanor. "Don't worry, it's a must!"

So it was just the few of them left.

Seeing Zhou Si sitting quietly eating to the side, Li Chunfeng hesitated for a moment before asking, "I heard you have a question for me?"

Zhou Si snorted coldly, "Hmph, that's all."

"Now that I'm full and satisfied, I should go back and rest. I have a match tomorrow."

Li Chunfeng: "..."

In the following days, the individual competition of the Qingyun Ranking was in full swing.

Li Chunfeng finally received invitations from Kunlun Academy and Dachan Temple Academy. Although they were not special admissions without examination, with these two invitations, as long as his exam scores reached the average admission line of the academies, he could basically be guaranteed admission.

This trip has finally come to a perfect end.

He also took this opportunity to meet with the heads of several large auction companies and presented two Earth-rank magic seed demon cores.

"Mr. Li, if you hand over these two Earth-rank demon cores to our auction house for auction, we can offer you a discounted price with a 20% commission?"

"Twenty percent? I'm sorry, I've disturbed your esteemed bank. Your staff may leave now."

In the past, he would have taken the initiative to seek cooperation with auction houses, but now he can get several auction houses to come to him automatically with just one phone call.

That's the benefit of fame.

"Ah, I misspoke. Fifteen percent, no, a ten percent commission is enough."

Li Chunfeng said, "The commission I can waive is no more than 5%, and the accompanying promotional services must be included. This is my privilege in Yuancheng. If the services your firm provides are not as good as those in Yuancheng, I will take them to Yuancheng for auction. However, whether they are sold to the demon race or the ghost race is not within my control, which is why I am reluctant to do so."

"Below five cents..."

The heads of the major auction houses fell silent instantly; they were just employees and had no say in the matter.

But the price is outrageous, and advertising would also cost a fortune.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Li Chunfeng realized that things were hopeless.

Somewhat disappointed.

He turned around and entered Yuancheng.

After achieving a thousand victories, he slowed down his fighting pace on the dueling arena.

Firstly, he has been very busy lately, and secondly, he will soon have another major improvement, at which point he will be more confident in maintaining his winning streak.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle, and he has recently been closely watching the battle videos of the top 100 players.

"Jia Fu!"

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Do you have a way to auction off two Earth-rank demon cores for a high price?

Two!

Jia Fu sat bolt upright in shock. "Boss, I'm so lucky! My family is in the auction business... but it's not a big operation. However, I know large auction houses, and the Eight Desolations Bank is all over China. Boss, let me confirm again, are you planning to make a move in the real world?"

So the two met and discussed it.

Jia Fu immediately left Yuancheng, boarded a cross-border flying boat, and flew overnight from the Nine Provinces to the Mountain and Sea World.

On the airship, Jiang Jingyun continued to press Jia Fu on the phone, "Is he unwilling to trade privately and insists on an auction? I can certainly offer a high price."

“Brother Yun, it’s fine at other times. But this time, the big boss took the initiative to contact me, Jia Fu, so I have to handle this matter well. You can participate in the bidding yourself.”

Jiang Jingyun: "...Okay, I will."

Three days later, the individual competition of the Qingyun Ranking also came to an end.

Zhou Si also shone brightly on this year's Qingyun Ranking, defeating cultivators in the Divine Realm and the Burning Lamp Realm in succession, ultimately achieving an excellent result of fifteenth place.

Wei Wu also achieved a ranking of twentieth.

Shen Zhibai ranked in the top eight, making him the only contestant from the Shan Hai Academy to reach the top ten.

Huang Tianhe became the number one on the Qingyun List.

But Huang Tianhe wasn't particularly happy. Everyone knew that there was still a true powerhouse who hadn't participated in this year's Qingyun Ranking individual competition.

Someone may not be on the battlefield, but his legend lives on there.

The competition has now come to a successful conclusion.

The Shan Hai Academy achieved outstanding results and returned to Shan Hai Jie Cheng with great honor.

On the airship, Li Chunfeng was on the phone with Jia Futong.

He arrived in Shan Hai Jie City last night and immediately began his operation. Now, the major websites of Shan Hai Tian Xia have already put up promotional materials for the auction of Earth-rank demon cores.

Furthermore, in full accordance with Li Chunfeng's wishes, they took the lead in launching on-site propaganda near the desolate wasteland.

Li Chunfeng was very satisfied with his efficiency and then discussed some other matters.

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his heart pounded wildly.

Without a second thought, he instantly merged with Mosquito Taoist, transformed into a demon, and used the Shadow Horn Armor to protect his entire body.

The psychic shield, the light of the heart lamp, and the womb-like great barrier were all activated to their maximum levels.

Protect yourself and those around you.

"Who dares to challenge me, you rat!" Xu Mochen roared, his Yin spirit leaving his body to create a massive shield to protect the flying boat.

"boom!"

The next instant, a massive explosion resounded through the sky. The shield shattered, half of the airship was blown apart, and many tourists were thrown into the air by the blast. The airship lost power and plummeted downwards.

"The demon race has launched a surprise attack. Take cover immediately."

"Om~"

Li Chunfeng barely survived the explosion and was just about to try to open the gates of Yuancheng.

He was then directly pressed down by a powerful demonic aura.

Above the sky, space was torn open like ripples, and a jade hand, its back covered in eerie green vines, emerged from the void. The jade hand magnified infinitely, like a giant toying with a figurine, holding the flying boat in its palm.

"You wicked creature! Stop!"

This route is a vital inland transportation artery in the Shan Hai Bu Zhou region, and is guarded by powerful human warriors year-round.

The demon race's choice to strike here naturally made them difficult to miss. The human powerhouses below reacted quickly, instantly transforming into a sword rainbow and soaring into the sky to intercept them.

A dazzling sword rainbow slashed across the sky, about to sever the giant hand, but it arrived from afar, and its speed was ultimately a fraction too slow.

"what--"

Xu Mochen, the most powerful cultivator on the flying boat, was even more anxious. When he saw this scene, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his divine sense exploded with thoughts, all focused on the same question: "On this flying boat is the number one genius on the Azure Cloud Ranking."

"We must not let the demon race succeed!"

At the critical moment, he resolutely unleashed his full Yin spirit, along with several powerful natal demonic pets, and together they recklessly charged towards the giant hand, like eggs hitting a rock.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous roar, the giant hand finally paused.

In that short time, the Heaven-Shaking Sword Rainbow caught up and slashed at the five fingers of that jade hand in an instant.

With a single sword stroke, it severed three of its fingers.

But the eerie jade hand endured the pain and squeezed hard with just two fingers, instantly turning the flying boat into a huge fireball that tumbled and plummeted down.

The owner of the sword rainbow had bloodshot eyes and went berserk, wildly slashing at the retreating jade hand, slashing down the huge jade hand that was trying to withdraw.

After half an hour.

The news that the teams on the Qingyun Ranking were ambushed by a mysterious powerful demon on their way back has made headlines on the front page of the Shan Hai Tian Xia website.

This was a long-planned raid.

Reminded by the major attack on the Shan Hai Academy's airships, the other teams returned to their routes with emergency escorts, but they still encountered ambushes from the demon race who had been lying in wait. All the airships carrying these teams suffered varying degrees of damage.

The news spread and many news outlets began to follow up and report on it, but all information was blocked at the scene, and no one knew the specific extent of the injuries.
Just after a joyous celebration, the internet was immediately flooded with bad news, as if the audience had been hit over the head with a blunt object.

"Are geniuses like Li Chunfeng, Shen Zhibai, and Zhou Si still alive?"

The audience was eager to know the answer.

However, it is understandable that the authorities chose to conceal the information for the safety of the teenagers.

In the city of Shan Hai Jie, Jia Fu stared at the constantly updating news reports with a complex expression. His phone still displayed the last contact information. Afterward, he called again, but no one answered, so he didn't call back.

He couldn't believe that the big boss of Yuancheng would suffer such a tragic setback, failing to achieve his goal halfway through.
I ask you, among the top 100 on the robbery leaderboard, who doesn't have a few ways to save their life?

Therefore, he was only confused for a short while before deciding to continue promoting the auction.

In the First Hospital of Shanhaijie City, the wards were packed with people.

An old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face appeared out of nowhere. "How is the situation?"

"Greetings, Daoist Master..."

"No need, explain the situation."

"Yes. The Yin Spirit self-destructed, causing severe damage to the Divine Aperture. The Heavenly Origin Pill might save his life. But if Dean Xu wants to advance further in this life, I'm afraid..."

The old Taoist remained silent for a moment before saying, "I will find the Heavenly Origin Pill myself. In any case, let's stabilize his injuries first."

"Yes!"

The person lying in the hospital bed is none other than Xu Mocheng, the vice president of Shanhai Academy, who risked his life at a critical moment to secure a chance for rescue.

"How are the other little ones doing?"

"They suffered some injuries, but after treatment and rest, they will recover. Only one young man was able to unleash a powerful defensive technique even under the Demon Lord's pressure, saving their lives at a critical moment. However, that young man's divine aperture was also severely impacted by the Demon Lord's demonic magic, which may affect his future cultivation."

"Huh? What did you say? It can't be cured completely?" The old Taoist's expression turned serious.

The attending physician suddenly felt an invisible surge of anger, making it difficult for him to breathe.

But when asked about Xu Mochen's serious injuries, Daojun didn't seem so angry.

The doctor understood why Daojun was so furious, after all, the one implicated this time was the number one on the Azure Cloud Ranking!
He dared not provoke Daojun's anger, so he quickly explained, "It can be cured. The barrier of the divine aperture is damaged, and the situation is quite serious. Such cases have occurred before. Just one thousand-year-old Bodhi seed is enough to eliminate all injuries, and may even bring good fortune and a higher level."

"Millennial Bodhi seed..."

The old Taoist priest calmed down. "I remember there are still a few on Fangcun Mountain. I'll make a trip there now. You all keep a close watch on them and make sure none of them get hurt."

"Yes, Daoist Lord, please rest assured, I will personally take care of him."

"The old Taoist priest will be right back."

The old Taoist priest's figure vanished from the ward in an instant.

Zhou Si and the others only suffered minor injuries. After taking medicine and receiving treatment, they were able to move normally again.

She vaguely remembered what happened during the attack.

At that time, everyone was suppressed by the powerful demon race and unable to move. Dean Xu was the first to react and unleashed his Yin Spirit to protect everyone.

But Li Chunfeng's reaction was by no means slow either.

Despite the circumstances, he was still able to act, instantly conjuring a powerful psychic shield and a barrier of alternating light and darkness to protect the entire cabin. However, this also exposed him to the attack of the powerful demon. Upon hitting the ground, he fell completely unconscious.

"We've dragged him down with us!"

Zhou Si didn't know what kind of feelings she was experiencing.

She knew that Li Chunfeng had a way to teleport, and since he could still cast a spell in that situation, he could naturally escape with ease... Why be foolish?

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She left the ward and headed towards Li Chunfeng's ward.

The others shared the same thought and all left the ward at the same time, heading towards the outside of Li Chunfeng's ward.

"Doctor, can we go in and take a look?"

"Sorry, can't!"

"Why won't you let us in!"

"The patient is still in critical condition and should not be disturbed. This was personally instructed by our hospital director. I understand how you all feel, but if you truly care about the patient, you should be resting in your own rooms right now. Please trust our hospital; we will do everything we can to save the patient."

The doctor's words only made things worse. Hearing them, Chen Lingsu and Jiang Lele, the girls with weaker wills, burst into tears on the spot. Zhou Si bit her lip tightly, and Hu Yifei's eyes welled with tears; he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"Everyone, calm down and let Li Chunfeng get some rest."

Yan Liguang then spoke up to comfort everyone.

Wei Wu also said, "Dean Xu was seriously injured while saving everyone."

Finally, someone remembered Xu Mochen, who was more seriously injured, so a group of people turned to Xu Mochen's ward to visit the seriously injured Xu Mochen.

Later in the night.

The old Taoist priest, travel-worn and weary, reappeared.

With the Daoist's personal assistance, a seven-colored Bodhi seed fell into his stomach.

Within Li Chunfeng's nearly shattered inner world, a seven-colored rainbow of light burst forth. And the curled-up soul, enveloped by countless black lotuses, finally opened its eyes.

The tiny spirit's first words upon awakening were: "Damn, that was close!"

A week later.

Outside the Eight Desolate Bank Hall in the Mountain and Sea Boundary City, Jia Fufeng rushed out like a whirlwind, scanning the surroundings, but he didn't see anyone coming.

It wasn't until an unremarkable figure appeared and walked straight up to him that his eyes sharpened and he recognized the newcomer.

"Boss, what kind of technique is this? I almost didn't recognize you!"

"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning."

Jia Fu immediately grinned excitedly, "Boss, I knew you were alright!"

Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "I guess I escaped death. Thank you for your concern."

"Of course, after all, I'm doing this for you now."

Jia Fu knew he had made the right bet and was quite pleased with himself. His expression turned serious as he began to recount his efforts to Li Chunfeng: "The auction promotion has been a huge success. Except for the first day, when the promotional effect was hampered by the attack on the flying boat, the authorities actively suppressed the news of the attack on the second day, and our auction's popularity gradually increased. Now, the news of the Earth-rank demon core auction has spontaneously trended on social media several times. You're going to make a fortune, sir!"

"Haha, thank you for your kind words! May we all prosper together!"
