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

Chapter 119-118: Approaching People with a Billion
On the way back, Li Chunfeng was worried that he would be ambushed by Gao Hu. Although he was not afraid, he deliberately took a long detour.

They successfully returned to the entrance of the secret realm without encountering any setbacks.

He reported the news of the Taixu Shadow Demon underground fortress to the garrison in the secret realm, which alarmed the garrison commander there.

He meant well, worried about future trouble, which is why he proactively reported it, without expecting anything in return. Who knew that the commander here, knowing that he was the top-ranked candidate on this year's Qingyun Ranking, didn't give him any face and still acted arrogantly, demanding that he personally lead the way to investigate.

Li Chunfeng naturally refused, so he had no choice but to show his phone book and make a call to Master Daojun.

He didn't want to trouble Master Daojun with such a trivial matter.

Fortunately, this time he did something good. Taking advantage of his small position, he had to make a fuss.

A child who doesn't cry won't get milk. The more you interact with Lord Daojun, the more familiar you'll become, and you won't feel awkward answering his calls again.

When the commander saw that it was indeed Daojun, his attitude immediately changed completely, from arrogant to humble, and he politely saw Li Chunfeng off.

Before leaving, he patted his chest and assured everyone that if there were any more gains in the underground fortress, he would receive a ten percent of the profits, according to the rules.

Li Chunfeng had no hope.

He's looted thoroughly enough, unless the authorities can dig even deeper and find more treasure in the top two layers.

Anyway, he didn't want to go back and face the wolf demon lich.

This trip took a long time, and after finishing up, I rushed back to the academy.

Upon his return, Li Chunfeng's first task was to arrange for Mosquito Taoist to evolve.

The second evolution branch has undergone some changes. It is still the same branch that forks into three branches, one of which has been stained with blood, which represents 'Undying Vajra Defense Level 1'.

At this point, the evolution branch became: Undying Vajra Defense/Shadow Flash/Divine Mind Poison!

"Shadow Flash, is this an evolved branch of magical talent?"

Li Chunfeng hesitated. He had absorbed so much wolf demon blood, yet he hadn't been able to evolve the void attribute branch he wanted.

While 'Shadow Flash' is powerful, it's only in its first evolution, so its spell rank is probably not very high.

It's even possible that it evolved from the most basic human-level spells.

His demonic pet can learn spells of low rank, but it absolutely cannot be a rare spell. Although it can gradually improve through its own training and comprehension, he worries that the spell will eventually fall behind his own pace.

On second thought, the Mosquito Taoist's attack methods are indeed rather limited.

It relies heavily on the ability to devour at close range.

Appropriately increasing the number of remote attack methods may not necessarily be a bad thing.

He still has quite a few wolf demon cores. If he can remove the demonic energy, it will be enough to elevate Mosquito Taoist to the Xuan rank or higher.

The evolutionary direction was immediately confirmed: Shadow Flash.

Suddenly, his blood energy surged, enveloping Mosquito Daoist in a blood cocoon, which Li Chunfeng then collected into his soul aperture.

After making his choice, he realized a problem: if there are more and more branches in the future, but the evolutionary stages are limited, does that mean that some branches will never be able to reach the top?

Let's wait and see.

He dialed the phone and found Jia Fu.

The delay in the wilderness caused them to miss the grand auction.

After leaving the wilderness, his phone received a series of messages from Jia Fu, so he simply invited Jia Fu to meet him at the Mountain and Sea Academy.

Hu Yifei had also returned to the dormitory.

They have been training in the Dark Dungeon recently.

Hu Yifei has already exchanged for the first three levels of the "Present Tathagata Sutra". His physique is indeed very compatible with Buddhist techniques. He has mastered the basics in a very short time and feels that he has made great progress.

Because several teams were attacked, resulting in heavy casualties and even affecting many top talents, the finals of the Shan Hai Tian Xia Qing Yun Ranking were repeatedly postponed.

I'm back now because the date for the finals has finally been confirmed.

They will embark on a new journey.

Li Chunfeng then introduced Jia Fu to Hu Yifei.

Hu Yifei looked at Jia Fu with curiosity. Did this guy come all the way from the Nine Provinces?
He was chubby and had a prosperous appearance. He always seemed to have a smile on his face. He looked more like the fat son of a merchant than a genius cultivator who was ranked on the list of gods.

"I've also watched Brother Hu's match video. Your innate sacred body's defense is so strong that it's unforgettable."

Jia Fu offered a compliment.

Having been told this so many times, Hu Yifei had become thick-skinned and replied with a grin, "You're too kind. I've heard that among the four great worlds, the Qingyun Ranking in the Nine Provinces is the most competitive?"

"Indeed, the Nine Provinces are the heartland of the Earthly Realm, a gathering place for geniuses. Most of the top 1,000 human cultivators in Yuan City come from the Nine Provinces. Take the past ten Qingyun Ranking Tournament finals as an example, whether it's the team competition or the individual competition, the Nine Provinces accounted for more than half of the first place wins. This kind of tournament is a true stage for the competition of geniuses. Even those of us who have entered Yuan City can't really stand out. This tournament is no exception; those people are fighting tooth and nail, and the competition is especially fierce."

"I'm actually taking the big exam this year too. This Qingyun Ranking Competition is the last one I can participate in. After that, I won't have the chance to compete for the Qingyun Ranking again. I originally wanted to get a good result, but unfortunately, I made a mistake and was eliminated early. You guys are different. You have a huge advantage and still have a chance to reach the top!"

These words were spoken very sincerely, and Hu Yifei was greatly pleased.

Li Chunfeng seemed to be deep in thought.

Unlike the postponement of the Shan Hai Tian Xia finals, the Qingyun Ranking Tournaments of the other Tian Xia tournaments were held as scheduled.

Although the final rankings have not yet been determined, they will be soon.

Lu Yun'er is also in the Kyushu World competition area, so it won't be easy for her to stand out.

Li Chunfeng took out the spiritual tea given to him by An Ruoxi, and imitating An Ruoxi, he methodically washed and poured the tea, giving each of them a cup.

Jia Fu was filled with admiration. "Boss, that's over a hundred million in cultivation points! How could you remain so calm and unmoved, without even asking a question?" Over a hundred million?

Li Chunfeng was momentarily stunned, but on the surface he remained calm and expressionless, saying indifferently, "Brother Jia, we can address each other as equals. I've been in the secret realm these past few days and haven't paid attention to the auction. Over a hundred million Dao cultivation points, is that much?"

What do you mean by hundreds of millions of cultivation points?
Hu Yifei was full of questions, but he didn't interrupt.

Jia Fu clicked his tongue repeatedly, "I only got this result because I followed your advice and advertised more near the Desolate Wasteland. I don't know what got into these guys, they fought tooth and nail for that Giant God Weapon Seed, driving the price up to a whopping 78 million. On the other hand, the Weapon Soul Seed, although it has greater potential, had to consider the forging process, which was an extra expense, so it only sold for 55 million Dao Merit in the end."

Li Chunfeng took a sip of tea, "So, the final Daoist cultivation is..."

"One hundred and thirty-three million Dao merits."

Jia Fu said, "Of course, after deducting my remuneration and taxes, I will ultimately receive more than 110 million merit points. The specific settlement will be completed within three days."

Li Chunfeng raised his teacup, "Brother Jia, I'm so grateful for your hard work in handling this matter. I'll offer you this cup of tea instead of wine. Please!"

"please."

Jia Fu drank the spiritual tea in one gulp, its refreshing fragrance soothing his heart.

“Excellent tea! I’m just doing my job. But I’m sure you know what I’m looking for, Brother Li. If you have any more of this good tea next time, please let me know.”

"must."

Having received his promise, Jia Fu felt the tea was becoming more and more fragrant with each sip. After drinking it, he felt refreshed and invigorated, even more comfortable than earning millions in Taoist cultivation. "Brother Li, have you ever thought about financial management? Our family bank also offers such services."

"It can't be stored. It seems like a lot, but it's already good if it lasts for three months."

Li Chunfeng sighed, his face filled with regret and a bewildered expression as he uttered those words.

But what could he do? He had dug the lid off this bottomless pit himself.

Jia Fu was stunned for a moment, then clasped his hands in admiration.

Being able to spend money is a skill in itself!

The two chatted about some interesting things that happened at the auction. Although the organizers didn't make much money from Li Chunfeng, they managed to get other items to fetch higher prices than normal by using the name of the Earth-rank demon core, and thus made a fortune as well.

This move is a win-win-win situation.

Hu Yifei finally understood what they were talking about. Li Chunfeng had actually obtained two Earth-rank demon cores and sold them for over 100 million Dao power!
Wow, "My Roommate is a Billionaire?"

real or fake!

Looking at Li Chunfeng again, he suddenly realized that this ordinary guy who used to joke around with him seemed to have become more pleasing to the eye.

He was extremely surprised.

That's a Rank 1 item; it would be a shame to auction off a Rank 1 demon core.

If he had to choose between billions of Dao cultivation points and a terrestrial-grade demon core, Hu Yifei felt he would find it difficult to make a decision.

Just then, Li Chunfeng's phone rang.

Speak of the devil, and he appears; it was the dedicated manager of the Ghost Realm Mission Hall who called.

If you count the time, more than a month has passed.

Even though the battle in the Ghost Realm is chaotic and affecting everyone's quests, it's about time.

Li Chunfeng was overjoyed. He would soon see the Soul Nourishing Tower again, which meant he could receive another comprehensive upgrade.

Then he thought of the billions of Dao skills he hadn't even warmed up yet, and how they would probably only pass through his hands once more, and he felt a pang of heartache.

After finishing his business, Li Chunfeng invited Jia Fu to stay at Shanhai Tianxia for a while, and he would pay for all his expenses.

But Jia Fu had already received Li Chunfeng's promise, so whether he stayed or not was just a formality. He still needed to go back to prepare for the exam, and since it would be convenient for everyone to meet in Yuancheng anyway, he took his leave.

Li Chunfeng did not try to stop him and personally saw him off.

Back in the dormitory, Hu Yifei stared intently at him, looking him up and down, left and right.

"Really a hundred million?"

Li Chunfeng shrugged, "The money hasn't arrived yet!"

Hu Yifei opened his mouth, his face practically screaming envy and jealousy. He immediately burst into loud, wailing, "Heaven has no eyes! How could you, a shifty-eyed bastard, get rich? I, Hu, am handsome, charming, and heroic. In what way am I inferior to you? Why can't I, Hu, get rich? I, Hu Yifei, will work even harder and be richer than you in the future!" He began to swear an oath, vowing that although he couldn't compare to Li Chunfeng now, he would definitely surpass him in the future.

Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "Then you'll have to work harder!"

"No, you have to treat me to a meal, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this insult."

The rebellious son was extremely jealous and was determined to get something out of the company today, otherwise he would feel like he had lost out even in his sleep.

"Call me 'Dad' and let me hear it."

"Baba."

Li Chunfeng was speechless. "As expected of you, you haven't changed a bit." Without hesitation, he transferred 10,000 Dao Merit Points to his eldest son. "Go eat, Dad's treating his son to a big meal today." This guy had just received a million Dao Merit Points reward; he wouldn't be short of money like before.

Hu Yifei's mouth watered as he looked at the Taoist cultivation points that had been easily earned. His eyes darted around mischievously. "One meal isn't enough. I'll need a month's worth!"

He felt no shame whatsoever for his son's filial piety.

"roll!"
