In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

Huo Xian bowed deeply to Fan Tong, his head resting on the ground and his hands carefully protecting the poisonous spider plant behind his back.

"Greetings, Immortal Master! I know that according to the rules, you saved us from danger, and the spoils should belong to you. However, this poisonous spider grass is of great use to me, so please, Immortal Master, part with it!"

Huo Xian saw Fan Tong kill the wolf spider leader in no time. Although he was surprised that Fan Tong was so young yet had such strong cultivation, he still wanted to compete for the ownership of the poisonous spider grass.

After all, the poisonous spider plant was his father's only hope!

"Don't worry, I have no intention of stealing the spiritual herbs! Just call me Brother Fan. Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. I can wait for you for an hour to give you a chance to catch your breath!"

Seeing Huo Xian's defeated troops, Fan Tong, wanting to do a good deed to the end, gave them some time to recover their strength; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to leave the depths of Tianmu Forest.

"What?" Huo Xian looked up in disbelief, staring wide-eyed at the hemp-robed immortal master before him. "Immortal Master, your kindness is so great, Huo Xian will never forget it. If there is an opportunity, please come to Tianhuo City for a gathering. Huo Xian will definitely welcome you with open arms!"

"We'll talk about it another time. Let's focus on recovering for now!" Fan Tong didn't care too much. Where was Tianhuo City? For him, who was leaving Fengqing Sect for the first time, it was still a mystery.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Looking at the grateful Huo Xian, Fan Tong carefully made his way towards the outer edge of Tianmu Forest under Lai Fu's care. This time, Fan Tong embarked on another journey to find herbs.

Just as his figure disappeared into the forest, three figures appeared furtively not far away.

"Senior Brother Yin, Fan Tong is so strong, can the three of us handle him?" Lu Renjia, an outer disciple, said to Yin Buping, whose face was gloomy.

"No problem! So what if he's strong? Bai Jie was prepared. We just need to follow him and wait until midnight to eliminate him. Then we can collect our reward without worry!"

Yin Buping's expression calmed down, but his tone was somewhat tense, clearly indicating that Fan Tong's strength had exceeded his expectations.

“Since Senior Brother Yin is confident, we two brothers will follow you!” Lu Renjia and another disciple exchanged a glance, their tone becoming increasingly firm.

"Let's go! We'll follow them!"

……

As darkness fell, Fan Tong found a safe place, put the three spiritual herbs in his mouth, then sat cross-legged and focused intently on circulating the nameless cultivation technique.

After an hour of cultivation, thanks to the effects of the spiritual herbs he had consumed that day, his cultivation level finally stabilized at the fourth level of the Human Spirit Realm, and he no longer needed to worry about the risk of his realm dropping.

"This Twilight Forest is truly a treasure trove. If one could train here for a long time, wouldn't one's cultivation level increase rapidly!"

Fan Tong shook the unrealistic idea in his mind. If it were really as simple as he thought, the true disciples and core disciples of Fengqing Sect would have been roaming the mountains and forests long ago, instead of staying quietly in the sect.

"Let's keep going and try to find some more spiritual herbs and medicines before midnight. Then we'll go join the fun and see if we can snatch some mid-grade herb, the Spirit Gathering Grass." Fan Tong glanced at the direction Sui Shan and the others were heading, and then continued walking forward.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. No matter how well Fan Tong planned, it was as if he had used up all his luck. Even as midnight approached, he didn't encounter a single spiritual herb or medicine.

"Huh? What smells so good?" Fan Tong, who was looking around, suddenly smelled a fragrance. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the fragrance was coming from his sleeve.

"When did I come across this fragrance? That's strange. Could I have missed something good?" Fan Tong pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat annoyed.

"Forget it! What's mine will come to me, and what's not mine can't be forced! I'll keep looking!" Adjusting his mindset, he resumed his search for spiritual herbs and medicines.

"What's that noise?" Fan Tong, who was searching for spiritual herbs in a thicket, twitched his ears and heard a rustling sound.

Upon closer inspection, he saw five red-eyed demon wolves rushing towards him from not far away. His expression suddenly changed, and he cursed his bad luck under his breath before turning around and running in another direction.

"I have no idea where this group of low-grade first-rank demonic beasts are headed, and I'm such an unlucky guy, how did I end up in their path!"

After changing direction and running a certain distance, Fan Tong carefully stared at the pack of red-eyed demon wolves, observing their movements.

"No! They're coming for me!" Seeing the red-eyed demon wolf sniffing wildly in the wind before turning around and running towards him again, Fan Tong cried out in alarm.

"Why are they looking for me? Do they think I'm prey?" Fan Tong wondered as he ran.

He was confident he could handle two or three low-grade first-rank demonic beasts, but if there were five, especially red-eyed demonic wolves skilled in hunting, he would have no choice but to keep running away.

Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!

Ahead of Fan Tong, a group of wild boars raised their noses, sniffed wildly, and then ran towards Fan Tong!

"Something's not right! Yes! What are they sniffing?" Seeing the actions of the mountain monster boars, Fan Tong was terrified and realized something at the same time.

"Could it be caused by the fragrance from my sleeves? But why would the fragrance appear at this time?" He was puzzled and could only turn around and run to the other side.

Because of this delay, the Crimson-Eyed Demon Wolves and the Mountain Wild Boars closed the distance between them and him. What surprised Fan Tong was that the two groups of demon beasts seemed not to see each other and followed him in an orderly fashion.

Fan Tong's eyes darted around, and he reached out and tugged at his sleeve, pulling off the fragrant cuff and throwing it at the two groups of demonic beasts, immediately causing a commotion.

The demonic pigs, who should have been afraid of the red-eyed demonic wolves, somehow gained courage and, as if injected with adrenaline, attacked the demonic wolves, vying for the fragrant cuff.

Upon seeing this, Fan Tong immediately stopped running away, lay down on a patch of grass, and watched the two groups of monsters fight each other as if it were a spectacle.

"It seems the problem lies in that fragrance, but what is that fragrance? And why would it attract monsters to fight?"

Time passed second by second, and the battlefield became increasingly bloody. The mountain boar demons, relying on their superior numbers compared to the red-eyed wolf demons, finally killed the five red-eyed wolf demons with their sharp tusks after losing more than thirty of them.

Just as Fan Tong was about to get up and kill the four pig demons, unexpectedly, the four pig demons started killing each other again, completely lacking the unity they had shown when fighting the wolf demon together.

"These stupid pigs actually know how to unite against a common enemy!" Fan Tong was speechless and continued to lie there watching the four pig demons fight.

Soon, the boar demons were defeated. A wild boar demon with blood gushing from its belly ran excitedly to the sleeve of the hempen robe, about to swallow the sleeve, but the fragrance vanished without a trace.

The mountain boar demon let out a reluctant roar, grunting and limping as it walked into the forest.

"Why is the fragrance gone?" Fan Tong saw the pig demon walk away and prepared to get up to check. Just then, he heard footsteps again.
