28: Shapeshifting Spiritual Herb

“Uh…” Wei Xun was at a loss for words after the Tiger King spoke, so he could only make up a lie: “The Little One was raised by humans before Shapeshifting, and they gave me this name!”

“No, no!” The Tiger King immediately shook his head and emphasized, “We are demons, how can we take these unpleasant human names?”

“Then I beg the Great King to bestow a new name upon me!” Seeing this, Wei Xun could only go along with it, because after secretly using his Spirit Seeking Eyes to check on the Tiger King, the Spiritual Qi light spots on him were terrifyingly numerous, and he was definitely no match.

According to the description in the Demon Cultivation Mind Technique, this Tiger King was at least a Pure Yang Realm demon.

“Hahaha!” The Tiger King burst into laughter upon hearing Wei Xun’s words, seemingly very fond of giving names: “Since you have such a request, this King will reluctantly bestow a new name upon you!”

“Thank you, Great King!” Wei Xun lowered his head and cupped his fists.

“I heard you’re a Grey Fur Rat Demon!” The Tiger King scratched his cheek, thought for a moment, and then said, “Then how about calling you Grey Fur!”

“Ah!” Wei Xun felt a bit strange when he heard this name.

“What?” Seeing Wei Xun’s reaction, the Tiger King thought he disliked the name, and immediately furrowed his brows, looking displeased.

“Thank you, Great King, for bestowing the name!” Wei Xun sensed the Tiger King’s mood and immediately flattered him: “This name is truly beautiful; I can’t forget it for a long time. I feel like this name should be mine!”

The Tiger King, who had been displeased, burst into laughter again when he heard Wei Xun’s later words.

“Since you like it, that will be your name from now on!” The Tiger King nodded with satisfaction, then took another bite of the raw meat in his hand and continued, “Looking at you, you should have become a demon through Full Cultivation, so your talent must be excellent. I won’t make you start as a minor demon; I’ll directly arrange a captain’s position for you!”

Upon hearing this, the old man standing by the side immediately winked at Wei Xun.

Wei Xun immediately understood and cupped his fists in gratitude: “Thank you for your grace, Great King!”

Seeing Wei Xun being so polite, the Tiger King laughed heartily: “As expected from someone who was raised by humans before; you’ve certainly mastered human etiquette!”

As the Tiger King spoke, he picked up a bowl of wine from the side and took a large gulp, then continued, “Although humans are quite annoying, the etiquette they have is quite interesting. In the future, you must teach the other Yao Beasts around you to be this respectful when they see this King. They are always so boisterous, without any proper demeanor!”

“Yes, Great King!” Wei Xun saw that the Tiger King was pleased, so he immediately cupped his fists and bowed again.

After laughing, the Tiger King turned his gaze to the two Yao Beasts following behind Wei Xun.

Feeling the Tiger King’s gaze, Black Bear and Three Flowers Cat were both terrified, trembling all over and daring not to move.

“These two Yao Beasts following behind you, I heard they are your Little One?” the Tiger King asked casually.

“Reporting to the Great King, they are indeed my Little One!” Wei Xun nodded and said, “Please take them in, Great King. When they Shapeshift into demons in the future, they will add strength to the mountain.”

“This King is very happy today!” The Tiger King drained the remaining wine in his bowl, then said, “Since these two Yao Beasts have not yet Shapeshifted, I will reward them with two Shapeshifting Spirit Grasses.”

After the Tiger King finished speaking, he flipped his wrist, and two slender grass roots appeared out of thin air, which he then threw in front of Black Bear and Three Flowers Cat.

“What is this?” Wei Xun asked curiously.

“Shapeshifting Spirit Grass, it can allow a Yao Beast to directly Shapeshift into a demon!” The Tiger King said with a chuckle.

“Then by eating this Spiritual Plant, wouldn’t they be unable to achieve Full Cultivation as a demon?” Wei Xun asked curiously.

“How can Full Cultivation as a demon be so easy?” The Tiger King snorted, saying, “There are thousands upon thousands of demons in this world; it’s a lot if one or two out of a hundred demons can achieve Full Cultivation as a demon!”

Before Wei Xun could answer, the Tiger King continued, “I heard that before you Shapeshifted, you ate many Immortal Plants and Spiritual Roots to be able to achieve Full Cultivation and Shapeshift into a demon. How many demons in this world have such good fortune?”

Upon hearing this, Wei Xun looked up at the Tiger King on the stone seat again.

The Tiger King still had a lot of tiger fur on him that hadn’t shed, so he probably hadn’t even achieved Full Cultivation as a demon.

As expected, the Tiger King immediately continued, “Even I, this King, did not achieve Full Cultivation when I Shapeshifted into a demon, but so what? Isn’t Black Tiger Mountain still respecting me as its ruler?”

After speaking, the Tiger King burst into laughter again, and picked up another piece of raw meat from the side and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Since the Great King has already bestowed the Immortal Plant, why don’t you quickly eat it!” The old man on the side immediately urged them.

Wei Xun couldn’t stop them after hearing that, although he also wanted Black Bear and Three Flowers Cat to achieve Full Cultivation as demons like himself.

But both of them had just entered the Yao Beast Realm. If they were to slowly accumulate Spiritual Qi cultivation and then Shapeshift, it might take many more years.

On this Black Tiger Mountain, full of demons, they might be caught and skinned and eaten by others any day.

So Wei Xun nodded to Black Bear and Three Flowers Cat behind him, signaling that they could eat.

Then Black Bear and Three Flowers Cat each swallowed the Shapeshifting Spirit Grass in front of them.

The next second, a burst of Spiritual Qi light emanated from their bodies, finally forming a halo that enveloped them.

After a while, when the halo disappeared, Black Bear and Three Flowers Cat had both transformed into human forms.

However, because they transformed into human form by eating the Shapeshifting Spirit Grass, they did not have a perfect Shapeshifting like those who achieve Full Cultivation as a demon.

After Black Bear Shapeshifted, he became a giant man two meters tall, with a broad back and strong arms.

However, the only flaw was that he still retained many characteristics of a Black Bear.

His body was covered in Black Bear fur, and although his limbs had turned into human form, his head was still a bear’s head.

Three Flowers Cat was different from Black Bear; she also transformed into human form, and also did not achieve Full Cultivation as a demon.

After Three Flowers Cat Shapeshifted, she actually turned into a charming woman. Although she still had a lot of cat fur on her body and her tail was still there,

Her face, however, was no different from a human woman’s, and she looked very beautiful, with a voluptuous figure, and quite attractive.

The Tiger King immediately became interested when he saw Three Flowers Cat: “I didn’t expect you, little cat, to be so beautiful after Shapeshifting!”

“Thank you, Great King, for bestowing the Spiritual Plant, which helped the Little One to Shapeshift into a demon earlier!” Three Flowers Cat immediately imitated Wei Xun, cupping her fists and bowing.

Black Bear also immediately cupped his fists and thanked the Tiger King.

“Hahaha!” The Tiger King burst into laughter, then waved to Three Flowers Cat: “What’s your name?”

“The Little One’s name is Three Flowers!” Three Flowers Cat nodded in response.

“Good name!” The Tiger King nodded and then continued, “With your beauty, it’s truly a pity to stay by Grey Fur’s side. Why don’t you follow this King? This King guarantees you will live in luxury and enjoy endless Immortal Plants and Spiritual Roots!”
