Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 271 Longevity Peach Seeds
After the demon cultivator left, Chen Daochang squatted down and reached out to close his cousin's unwilling eyes.

He looked down at the ground, frowned, and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was silence in the air, and an inexplicable emotion was brewing.

After a long time, Chen Xingzhou could no longer bear the silence and said:

"Chief, what should we do next?"

The demon cultivators did not leave any means to control them, but only let them practice the Heavenly Demon Transformation Sutra and refine their essence and blood.

But he knew that from now on, it would be impossible for them to integrate into the human forces and they could only go down this path.

The status of a demon cultivator is better than that of a devil cultivator, but he is also a character that everyone hates.

Xizhou has been carrying out an operation to eliminate demon cultivators for hundreds of years. The ancestor of the Chen family in Puyun Mountain was originally a casual cultivator. It was because of his meritorious service in killing many demon cultivators that he was able to establish a family here.

Now the only two foundation-building cultivators of the Chen family have become demon cultivators. What an irony!
"what?"

Chen Daochang said in a daze, he didn't hear the whole sentence at all.

"Chief, I want to ask what to do next?" Chen Xingzhou repeated.

Chen Daochang asked instead:
"Xingzhou, now that we've both become demon cultivators, what are you going to do from now on?"

At this moment, his mood was very complicated and mixed.

After refining the monster's blood essence, he actually felt that his late foundation-building state began to loosen!

As a cultivator from a family that made its fortune by killing demon cultivators, he knew very well what demon cultivators were.

Although demon cultivators aim to become powerful demons, they can also use the methods of human cultivators, manipulate magical instruments to attack, and have a longer lifespan.

The reason why the demon cultivators were jointly eliminated by the cultivators was because their minds were easily transformed into demon beasts.

If the Heavenly Demon Transformation Sutra really has a very small impact on the mind, then this is not a disaster, but an opportunity, a huge opportunity!

Why do humans practice Taoism? Ultimately, it's because they want to live longer and have greater power.

If they were not affected by the instincts of monsters, monster cultivators might become the mainstream.

Chen Xingzhou was silent for a moment, then said softly:
"I listen to the clan leader."

After years of getting along, he was very familiar with the patriarch's habits. The other party must have other considerations when asking such questions.

Chen Daochang opened his mouth, but ultimately did not express his thoughts.

"Let's announce Daoxi's death tomorrow, and you will be responsible for arranging the funeral arrangements for the various clansmen.

I selected a group of qualified and patient Qi Condensation disciples, secretly sent half of them out, and found opportunities for the other half to join the Jinling Sect.

The family bloodline cannot be cut off in my hands."

Xiong Ba came to a hidden cave, looked around for a while, and then entered the cave, bowing and saying:

"Master Qinglong, it's done.

Two of the three Chen family members who had established their foundation successfully refined the Fire Ape's blood essence, but the other one died during the refining process due to old age and blood drying up."

After saying this, he stood with his head down and his hands hanging, waiting quietly.

A faint smile appeared on Qinglong's lips. "A success rate of over 60% is quite good. It shows that the Chen family bloodline is very suitable for refining the Fire Ape's blood essence. Write this information down."

He selected many foundation-building cultivators to refine the essence and blood of monsters, but the average success rate was less than 30%.

"I have already recorded it."

After Xiong Ba answered, he asked cautiously:
"Sir, our treasured collection of monster blood is almost gone. What should we do next?"

In the past few months, they have sneaked into many family residences and forced more than a hundred foundation-building cultivators to refine the essence and blood of monsters.

"We will do nothing next. Wait until both the demon beasts and the human race are defeated. Only then will we have the opportunity to bring the Heavenly Demon Alliance to the surface.

During this period, you and Black Hawk will be responsible for hunting down potential demon beasts and extracting their blood essence."

"I understand, but are we just going to leave these newly joined monks alone?"

"Don't worry about it for now. Once these cultivators realize the wonders of the technique, they will be willing to work for us."

Xiongkou Mountain is located more than 800 miles northwest of Jinling Sect, where there is a first-grade medium-quality spiritual vein.

In the spiritual vein, there is a small family of immortal cultivators.

This family has only been established for more than sixty years. It has one foundation-building cultivator, more than eighty Qi-refining cultivators, and more than two thousand mortals, which is equivalent to a small town.

At this time, the town was quiet, and the central square was filled with corpses.

All the corpses had black foreheads and their faces looked extremely terrified.

A middle-aged man in a black robe and with a goatee was refining a black banner.

Three demons flew around the square, constantly devouring the souls of mortals.

"Haha, my Soul Devouring Banner is finally almost complete."

The man laughed arrogantly, his face looking extremely ferocious.

The Soul-Devouring Banner is an extremely vicious magical weapon that extracts the souls of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and tortures them continuously, turning them into demons.

These demons can also continue to devour the souls of flesh and blood creatures to grow. Theoretically, there is no limit to the growth of this type of demon.

However, the demon grows the fastest by devouring human souls. In addition, low-level cultivators and ordinary people are very much restrained by demon cultivators. This is also the main reason why demon cultivators like to attack humans.

Soon, all the souls were devoured by the devil.

The man pinched the magic formula, and the demon head kept shrinking, and was finally sucked into the black flag.

Three ferocious demon heads appeared on the originally empty black banner.

"Hehe, let's get chaotic. Only in this way can I quickly improve my cultivation."

The man put away the black banner and took out a black object that looked like a furnace.

The seals in his hands changed, and the furnace kept getting bigger, until it became as big as a water tank.

He opened his mouth and swallowed, and a ball of green ghost fire flew out and burned under the stove.

The man slapped the body bag at his waist, and a black zombie burst out.

"Work!"

Following the man's command, the black zombies continued to grab corpses and throw them into the furnace.

No one knew what this black furnace was, but corpses were thrown into it one after another, and it seemed to have no effect.

Grayish-white residue kept coming out of the hole at the bottom of the stove.

About two hours later, the square was empty.

The man made a magic gesture and the green ghost fire flew back into his mouth.

He opened the furnace, and two crimson pills as big as pigeon eggs flew out.

The man kept shaking his head, "It's too difficult for so many mortals to refine two blood-feeding pills."

In the previous furnace, dozens of Qi Refining cultivators can refine one!

He put the blood-eating pill into a blood-colored bag, concealed his tracks and left.

Chiyan Peak, living room.

Ji An picked up the wine glass and said in a deep voice:

“It is truly a blessing to be able to return safely from Mingfeng Mountain.

Everyone, please drink this cup to the full."

He witnessed too many deaths in Mingfeng Mountain and was deeply touched.

This demon disaster is not over yet. I wonder how many familiar people I will never see again.

Chu He's ashes have been sent back to the Xiaocangshan family. Zhang Yuanshan sent a message asking if he would like to go back with him to attend the funeral tomorrow.

Ji An replied that he was under the spell of the Golden Core Demon King's Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Curse and did not agree to go with them. Liu Yu, Ge Luoying, and Wei Songnian all raised their glasses and drank together.

Wei Songnian said:

"We killed a large number of demonic beasts in Mingfeng Mountain, but the price we paid was also heavy. Many families may never recover.

I heard that some families' foundation-building traditions are no longer sustainable, and I'm afraid they'll become independent cultivators who have lost their spiritual veins."

Sometimes, fellow humans are more terrifying than monsters.

"The Law Enforcement Hall has already begun to collect statistics on such cases. The sect has promised to protect such families, so they are officially safe for the next fifty years."

Wei Songnian shook his head. "Senior Brother Liu, you are right. It is safe on the surface, but what about privately?"

The human heart is greedy, and the evil deep in the heart will be released little by little.

Liu Yu remained silent, he knew that what the other party said was the truth.

When the monks have the ability to protect their own interests, everyone will be very restrained.

Once interests cannot be protected, many forces will jump out and bite hard like hyenas.

Groying said coldly:

"The demonic disaster is still going on. The cultivators who are still frantically trying to gain benefits at this time are complete fools."

Ji An said:

"Senior Sister, there are a lot of idiots in this world."

A monk will not become noble because he has mastered greater power. On the contrary, a monk is more likely to become lawless because of the powerful power he possesses.

He changed the subject and asked:
"Brother, what exactly happened in the Canglan Secret Realm? Can you tell me now?"

He was very curious about what had happened in the secret realm that caused the sect to issue a gag order.

Liu Yu and Ge Luoying looked at each other and said:

"This is a nightmare. A total of 500 people from the three sects and independent cultivators entered the secret realm, but less than 100 walked out alive."

Ji An suddenly opened his eyes wide. How could there be such heavy casualties in the resource secret realm?
He just felt his throat dry, so he took a sip of wine and waited for the other party to continue.

"A group of independent cultivators were poisoned with soul poison. These controlled cultivators entered the forbidden area of ​​the secret realm and lured out four Chaoyuan-stage demonic beasts.

Then, there was a massacre
Senior Brother Li Haoran joined forces with the remaining cultivators and displayed his divine might to kill two of them, and the situation finally stabilized."

Liu Yu's voice was calm and without any ups and downs.

Wei Songnian felt cold all over when he heard this. The entire Xizhou had lost a group of cultivators who had the greatest hope of breaking through to the Chaoyuan period.

Ji An frowned and asked:
"How many people in the sect are still alive?"

"There were twelve of them. Two of them passed away shortly after leaving the secret realm due to severe injuries."

Ji An was silent. With a mortality rate of 90%, he didn't know how long it would take to accumulate so many disciples in the middle and late stages of foundation building.

Wei Songnian coughed and said:
"We are all alive, and that is the greatest luck."

"That's right, have a drink."

The four of them raised their glasses and drank together again, then found lighter topics to talk about, and talked about their own cultivation.

Half an hour later, Ji An said:
"Brother, you said there was a big gain in the secret realm, what exactly was it?

Take it out and let me see it!"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Liu Yu smiled and said:

"I said Junior Brother would definitely ask, haha, Senior Sister, take out the things."

Groying took out a seed and placed it on the table, saying:
“Originally there were two, but my great-aunt said to leave one to be planted at Ningcui Cliff.

Junior brother, can you identify what kind of seed it is?"

The seeds are slightly larger than the joints of the thumb, have grooves, and the shell is green.

Ji An used the object control technique to grab the seed in his palm, and then used his spiritual sense to examine it carefully.

After a moment, he frowned and shook his head:
"It looks like a peach seed, but I've never seen a peach seed with this kind of shell."

“It is indeed a peach seed, the seed of a longevity peach.

My senior sister and I happened to obtain four second-grade, low-grade longevity peaches. We handed two over to the sect and gave two to our master."

As the name suggests, longevity peaches can increase one's lifespan.

A second-grade, low-quality longevity peach should be able to increase one's lifespan by about ten years.

The number of times a cultivator can eat this kind of spiritual fruit in his lifetime is limited, and it will have no effect if taken in excess.

"It's actually a longevity peach," Ji An showed some joy. This kind of spiritual fruit would definitely be fought for by those monks who are nearing the end of their lives.

The only drawback is that this spiritual tree bears rare fruits, and it is considered a good result if a tree can produce ten spiritual fruits.

"Unfortunately, we can't use this spiritual fruit."

Ji An sighed softly. In fact, he hoped to obtain spiritual tree seeds like Tianyuan Pear and Dragon Blood Fruit. After growing spiritual fruits, he could consume them to improve his cultivation.

In his opinion, as long as one's cultivation continues to improve and one can break through to the next level before the end of one's life span, there is no need for things like longevity peaches and longevity pills.

"By the way, Master, has your health improved after taking the longevity peaches?"

Groying bit her lip and said slowly:
"My great-aunt refined the longevity peaches into five longevity pills, but she refused to take them."

"why?"

Ji An was surprised, because longevity was what his master lacked the most.

"She said her Qi and blood began to decline seven or eight years ago. Even if she took a longevity pill, it would only slow down the decline. It wouldn't be very meaningful to prolong her life."

Ge Luoying's mood became depressed. After so many years of decline in qi and blood, her great-aunt's spirit also declined.

Even if you add more than ten years to your life, it is impossible to ignite the fire of life and achieve the Chaoyuan period.

So, my great aunt gave up on having a longer life.

She smiled bitterly and sighed:

"I tried to persuade her, but she is very stubborn and won't listen at all."

Liu Yu said:

“I also tried to persuade Master, but the result was the same as Senior Sister’s.

Master asked me at the time, "What's the point of living another ten years? What else is there to look forward to in the future?"

I don’t know how to answer that.”

Ji An stretched out his hand and scratched his hair. "I'll find a suitable opportunity and try to persuade Master."

He began to think about how to give advice that would make the other party feel valuable. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"I've come up with an idea. I'll try it out in a few days!"

Groying's eyes suddenly lit up, "What method?!"

Surprise flashed in her eyes. After entering the sect, her great-aunt's teachings to her were second only to her master's, and her care for her surpassed her master's.

She didn't think much of it before, but now seeing the other person's hair gradually turning gray and wrinkles rapidly increasing, she really wants to spend more time together.

"Let's keep it secret for now. This method has a prerequisite, otherwise, don't mention it at all."

Ji An did not give the answer. His eyes became deep and he thought to himself:
'I hope it's not too late!'

Ge Luoying frowned slightly, then relaxed:
"After you try it, please let me know what the result is."

"must!"
