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

"This Baibao Mountain truly lives up to its name, towering into the clouds. Even at such a low altitude, it boasts such precipitous cliffs!" Following the scent, Fan Tong arrived at this cliff.

Layers of vines entwined the cliff face, coiling like giant pythons. Fan Tong climbed the edge of the cliff, looking down carefully, constantly changing his position. Finally, in a corner, through a gap in the vines, he saw a dark yellow fruit.

"Could it be that the fruit is so sweet? Hehe, no need to think too much, we'll know once we get it!" Fan Tong shook his head, looked around, put down the iron bucket, and slowly climbed down the vine.

Clinging to the vines, ignoring the danger of being suspended in mid-air, Fan Tong quickly climbed towards the dark yellow fruit.

Suddenly! A black shadow rushed towards him. Without thinking, Fan Tong instinctively threw a punch, which felt as if he had hit a stone wall.

The dark figure let out a mournful howl and plummeted off the cliff!

Fan Tong looked closely and realized that the newcomer was actually a giant python. Its color was similar to the surrounding vines, which was why he hadn't noticed it beforehand.

"That was close! That was close! If I hadn't acted quickly, I might have been the one who fell!" Fan Tong rubbed his nose, still feeling shaken.

Looking at the dark yellow fruit not far away, he was about to move forward again when suddenly his ears twitched. He looked down and his expression changed drastically. Ignoring the fruit in front of him, he used all his strength to climb upwards.

Perhaps the agonizing cries of the giant python that fell off the cliff startled the swarm of snakes, for more than a dozen giant pythons quickly climbed up the vines, their thrashing about as if they were about to swallow Fan Tong whole.

"Young people really have no sportsmanship!" Fan Tong cursed under his breath as he sprinted towards the cliff. Fortunately, he was not far from the top of the cliff and he darted up the cliff when the snakes were about a meter away from him.

Sensing the stench behind him, Fan Tong instinctively ran away, but there was no sound of snakes moving behind him.

"Huh? That's strange. Why don't these snakes dare to go up the cliff?" Fan Tong returned to the edge of the cliff and watched the snakes flicking their tongues as they began to crawl down the cliff.

"It seems that the dark yellow fruit is truly a treasure, which is why these snakes guard it so closely. It's a pity that I don't know what it is. I need to save some time to replenish my collection of spiritual herbs and medicines, otherwise I won't recognize any good things I see."

After complaining for a while, Fan Tong suddenly remembered something, quickly tidied himself up, picked up the iron bucket, and ran down the mountain road.

As expected, just as he stepped onto the mountain path, he encountered a group of disciples patrolling the mountain.

"Fan Tong, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you come down the mountain yet? Are you up to something?" The patrolling disciple asked impatiently when he saw Fan Tong dawdling.

"Please forgive me, senior brother, the path down the mountain is really hard to find. It's easy to go astray, it's really exhausting. But this time I know that following this path will get me down the mountain!" Fan Tong explained honestly.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and go. We have urgent business to attend to. If you're still not down the mountain when we get back, don't blame us for being impolite!"

The patrolling disciple was clearly eager to investigate the earlier wailing. He threatened Fan Tong and then rushed towards the cliff.

"Hopefully those stupid snakes will climb up quickly, and I hope these two patrolling disciples don't discover anything, otherwise I won't get any of the good stuff!" Fan Tong shook his head and cheered himself up as he walked down the mountain.

Judging from the expressions of those two patrolling disciples, they were definitely serious. If they were to catch him and take him to the elders, wouldn't that be handing them leverage? Fan Tong wasn't that stupid.

As Fan Tong walked out of Baibao Mountain and looked back at the mountain hidden in the spiritual mist, he imagined stepping into it again. He then looked for the location corresponding to the cliff and turned to leave.

As he passed a secluded grove of trees, he frowned. "Come out! I've found you!"

"Wow! You're really something, managing to spot me from this far away? You're quite alert; it seems all those years of beatings weren't for nothing!" A giggle rang out, and a graceful figure stepped out.

This woman possessed a captivating beauty, like a flower blooming in spring, full of vitality and alluring. Her simple attire, yet subtle allure shone through in every gesture, making it impossible to look away.

"Even from this distance, I can smell your stench. I wonder which senior brother's room you came from this time?" Fan Tong looked at the alluring figure in front of him with disdain.

The newcomer was none other than Bai Chi's older sister, Bai Jie, the personal disciple of Elder Mo Chou!

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth! You son of a sinner, I don't know who gave you the courage to laugh at my personal disciple!" Bai Jie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said lazily.

"Then you don't need to worry about it! I'm nothing worth your flattery. You'd be better off wasting your time here with me and flirting with the Grand Elder's grandson!" Fan Tong wasn't angry. He was used to other people's attitudes and didn't take it to heart at all.

"You good-for-nothing, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you've broken through to the third level of the Human Spirit Realm. You should know that my sister's cultivation is much higher than yours. You'd better surrender obediently!" Bai Chi, unable to contain his excitement, jumped out to mock him.

"That's all you've got. You secretly instructed that sissy Li Lianying to harm me, and now you're blocking my path!" Fan Tong said confidently, expressing his suspicions and hoping his idea would be proven true.

"Tch! You're lucky today. You delivered the wrong groceries without causing any trouble, and you even delivered garlic pestles to the female disciples without a fight. You even made it back to Baibao Mountain unscathed. You're really something..." Before Bai Chi could finish speaking, Bai Jie pulled him aside.

"You little idiot, we have no idea what you mean. We're here to get revenge because you slapped my brother in the face at the martial arts arena!" Bai Jie swayed her slender waist and slowly moved in front of Fan Tong.

"Exactly! What's the use of being better than me? You still haven't entered the Azure Cloud Pavilion, have you? You still have to obediently deliver groceries, right? There's only one path in front of you, and that's to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"Shut up! Go stand aside!" Bai Jie turned around and scolded Bai Chi, then said in a coquettish voice, "Little Fan Tong, I still admire your past. We don't have any major conflicts, so how about we each take a step back?"

"Oh? Senior Sister Bai Jie is right. Then how do we back down?" Fan Tong asked with a mocking smile.

"It's simple. You return the Earth Spirit Grass to Bai Chi, and then sincerely apologize to him. As compensation, it's not like I can't make you happy!"

As Bai Jie spoke, she gently poked Fan Tong's bulging muscles with her finger, her eyes gleaming with an alluring light.

"Senior Sister Bai Jie's plan is really shrewd; the whole sect will probably hear about it!" Fan Tong chuckled. "I happened to see a poem yesterday, so I'll just give it to you, Senior Sister!"

"I really didn't expect you to be so talented, Fan Tong! You're quite the player! I'm all ears!" Bai Jie blushed slightly when she saw Fan Tong's expression.
