44: One dares to learn, the other dares to teach (asking for monthly tickets and follow-up reading)

According to the Divine Ability forging method recorded in the Demon Nine Transformations, the first step is to use Demonic Blood for Body Tempering, shaping the Physical Body to lay the Foundation Establishment for refining the Demonic Soul and drawing it into the Body.

The second step is to refine the Demonic Soul, sealing it within the Profound Aperture as a secret furnace fire, like a Divine Repository.

Chen Yuan decided to skip the first step entirely.

Because he had achieved minor success in Cultivating the Danshan Eight Pillars, his Physical Body had been forged to be extremely powerful, comparable to a Demonic Body, and would even surpass Demonic Bodies once he opened the other pillars later on.

So, without hesitation, he prepared to draw the Demonic Soul into his Body for refinement.

However, since this essence soul belonged to a Mountain Carrying Lord who was close to Breaking Through the Fourth Heavenly Gate, Chen Yuan would not be blindly careless.

He adjusted his breathing, and the Dantian furnace roared like a bellows, burning hotter and hotter.

At the same time, the Sword Pellet within his Body vibrated with a humming sound, preparing to accumulate power and move.

Within the black water of his Physical Body, seventeen bright lamps glowed brightly, and when activated, streams of hot current surged out, causing the Qi and blood within his Body to rumble and surge like a rushing river.

After making all preparations, Chen Yuan began to circulate his True Qi according to the Demonic Soul refinement method of the Demon Nine Transformations.

“Pfft.”

A wisp of bright yellow fire line emerged from his mouth, enveloping the black bean-sized essence soul.

The essence soul, enveloped by the True Fire, spun rapidly, seemingly possessing a hidden will, and black Demonic Qi began to surge, jumping left and right, attempting to break free.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and the fire line was swallowed into his Body.

As soon as the black essence soul entered Chen Yuan’s Body, its Demonic Qi intensified, rushing directly towards his Mud Pill Palace.

Then, within the Mud Pill Palace space, a heaven-shaking roar echoed.

A striped tiger, treading on Demonic Qi, roared towards the sky, its Demonic Qi swirling, accompanied by countless wind blades, intending to wreak havoc in Chen Yuan's Mud Pill Palace.

“Still restless even after death.”

Chen Yuan snorted coldly.

His entire Physical Body rumbled.

Sword hums rose, and thousands of Sword Qi shot up from his Dantian, transforming into streaks of sword light, directly striking the remaining essence soul of the tiger demon.

Then, the seventeen bright lamps in his Physical Body churned with vast Qi and blood, igniting True Fire, turning into seventeen beacon pillars that twisted and killed the remnant will of the tiger demon's essence soul.

For a time, his Physical Body rumbled, and his Mud Pill Palace vibrated.

Sword Qi, Qi and blood True Fire, surrounded the essence soul, which only had remnant obsession left, and began to temper it!

The remnant will of the Mountain Carrying Lord roared within, rushing left and right, but it could never Break Through the encirclement.

This process lasted for nearly an hour.

Finally, the resistance of that remnant will grew weaker and weaker.

Until it was completely Cut and kill clean, leaving only a pure essence soul.

This was only a partial success.

Next, Chen Yuan tried to use the spiritual sense within his Body to drive this essence soul, descending from the twelve-story tower of his Mud Pill Palace, directly into the black water of his Physical Body.

In the mist, he searched for the Profound Aperture that needed to be refined.

Once found, the remaining process was to continuously guide the essence soul to forcefully impact it.

During this process, the Demonic Essence Qi inherent in the essence soul began to dissipate everywhere, flushing his Physical Body.

The Demonic Qi was incompatible with the Physical Body, like water meeting hot oil, causing the Physical Body to tremble.

This was the necessity of the first step of Body Tempering with Demonic Blood.

But the seventeen bright lamps within Chen Yuan’s Body, burning True Fire, refined these dissipated Demonic Qi directly.

Time passed bit by bit like this.

And in the room, Little Flower and Little White, who were bringing flowers, felt the increasingly alarming aura in the room, and with a “whoosh,” they quickly rushed out.

They leaped directly onto the courtyard wall.

And landed in the adjacent courtyard.

At this time, in the courtyard, a little boy was sitting on a stone stool under a tree, with a book covering his face, leaning against the tree, sound asleep.

Little Flower the Squirrel jumped onto the little boy's face and scratched him with its furry paws.

Waking up the boy who was meeting with the Duke of Zhou.

When the boy saw the Squirrel, his face lit up with joy, and he picked up the Little Squirrel, then asked with a pleading look on his face.

“Little Squirrel, you’ve come to play with me.”

“Did you bring me anything good to eat?”

Little Flower the Squirrel spat out something from its mouth.

A piece of pastry came out.

Then, a second piece, a third piece.

It was precisely the mung bean cakes that the woman had brought to offer to the two little creatures last time.

But those pastries from last time had long been eaten.

As for how these pastries came to be here.

It's likely that some pastry shop in the county town was robbed these past two days!

Tiger Cub didn't mind that the pastries came from the Squirrel's mouth at all; his eyes lit up, and he quickly joined the Squirrel and the White Fox, each taking a piece, and the three of them shared the food.

After Tiger Cub finished eating with grunts, the Little Squirrel jumped to the ground, picked up the book Tiger Cub had dropped, then jumped onto the stone stool again, flipped open a page with its furry paw, and pointed.

Tiger Cub quickly looked, frowning.

“Little Squirrel, are you going to learn this sentence today?”

“Let me think, Master taught it.”

Tiger Cub, with his innocent look, scratched his head, then his eyes lit up.

“I remember this sentence. It’s ‘Since you’ve come, make yourself at home.’”

“It means… it means, if a thief comes to your house, you should shout loudly, ‘Thief, since you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving, stay here peacefully, and take whatever you want.’”

“Master said that when you encounter a dangerous situation, don’t resist; this is called emergency avoidance, otherwise our little lives won’t be safe.”

When Little Squirrel heard this sentence, it chirped excitedly, jumping back and forth on the stone stool.

It liked this sentence.

Learned it!

This was truly, one daring to teach, and one daring to learn.

…

And time slipped away; soon, the sky darkened, and night fell.

In Chen Yuan’s small courtyard, the night flowed like water, and there was still no sound from inside the room.

At this time, in the center of the county town, where the County Yamen was located.

In the backyard, a scream rang out.

Inside a study, a man with a handlebar mustache, dressed in a blue official robe embroidered with flying birds, knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

His head was strainedly tilted to one side, and on one shoulder, a foot rested.

The owner of the foot sat on a tall chair in front of him, leaning sideways, with broken eyebrows, buck teeth, a Rat-faced, and a hint of ferocity between his brows.

At this moment, the man pressed down with his foot, forcing the Qingshan County Magistrate to bend sharply, his eyes glinting with fierce light.

“Tell me, where exactly is the Patrolling Mountain Commandant of this place?”

“If you don’t speak, you die.”

The Magistrate's bones creaked at this time, but he gritted his teeth stubbornly, letting out a muffled groan.

“Who exactly are you people?”

The Rat-faced Man chuckled, but a fierce expression appeared between his brows, and he pressed down with his foot.

The Magistrate groaned, his entire body prostrate on the ground.

“I didn’t expect you, a Magistrate, to be so stubborn, but unfortunately, you won’t live long.”

“You don’t want all the people in this city and your family, old and young, to be buried with you, do you!”

The Qingshan County Magistrate gritted his teeth, trying to get up, but was powerless, only able to gasp for breath.

“This official also doesn’t know where the Lord is. If you cause harm, the Lord will naturally act. This official is all alone, what is there to fear!”

These words made the Rat-faced Man’s ferocity surge.

“Damn it, I hate scholars the most in my life. You’re asking for death.”

He lifted his leg, about to smash it down fiercely.

At this moment, the outer door creaked open.

A tall, thin man with an Eagle Hook Nose walked in.

“Wait, killing him would alert the enemy. The Envoy Lord has gone to Jing Mountain to plot something big. We still need to be careful with the tasks assigned.”

“What are you afraid of? Isn’t it better to lure the snake out of its hole?” The Rat-faced Man said grumpily.

“Can you defeat that Patrolling Mountain Commandant? He’s a Third Realm Body Profound!” the Eagle Hook Nose said sinisterly.

The Rat-faced Man’s face instantly turned ugly.

“Plant a Devilish Seed in him; he’ll still be useful later!” the Eagle Hook Nose man continued.

The Rat-faced Man’s face darkened, then he opened his mouth, and a ball of crimson light spurted out.

Then, a horrifying scene appeared.

The crimson light was a ball of flesh, covered with dense tentacles.

It was about to drill out!

Suddenly, the flesh ball shrieked and drilled back into the Rat-faced Man’s mouth.

Making him choke, his face turning red and white.

Immediately after, his expression changed, and he looked to the west.

“What strong Devilish Qi!”
