Chapter 13

Earthworms, also known as earth dragons, are a type of medicinal herb, used for clearing heat, calming the liver, stopping asthma, and unblocking the meridians... But I've never heard of them being edible! Most importantly, their slimy appearance makes me lose my appetite just by looking at them!

Liu Yiyi was puzzled, and the Great Demon of Bliss, who was hiding underground, widened his eyes, almost saying "Damn."

He had spent countless efforts, endured much hardship, and suffered greatly to cultivate and learn profound techniques. Would these three immortal beasts agree just for a worm?

Isn't this too childish? Could it be that the person outside is not strong in power but... has very high talent?

His divine consciousness scanned again... very ordinary!

And not just ordinary... even, one could say, very poor talent!

What's going on?

The Great Demon and Liu Yiyi were surprised, and the three beasts in the courtyard had another disagreement.

"Is this intentional? You want a worm, how can I eat it?" The donkey was furious.

"Well... we can't just ask for some grass!" The parrot looked aggrieved: "I and the old turtle don't like it, and besides, this thing is everywhere..."

"I heard that demon beast meat is very nutritious, and eating it can greatly benefit one's health. We can get some and have the master make a stew..." After a moment of thought, the donkey said: "If that doesn't work, some medicinal herbs would also be fine."

Having opened his divine consciousness, he is also a type of demon beast, and can digest things like meat broth.

"Alright..."

The parrot nodded, and its sharp voice continued: "Next time you come, prepare some medicinal herbs or demon beast meat, and I will teach you sword techniques!"

"Thank you, Master!" Liu Yiyi, excited, bowed repeatedly and then walked back, satisfied.

Although she lost one opportunity, she successfully found a master. Losing in one place but gaining in another, no matter how you look at it, this trip was a big gain.

...

Not understanding why the three beasts would take on a disciple, the Great Demon of Bliss was troubled and quietly followed.

Following Liu Yiyi for a long time, he secretly tested a few times, but the other party was still at the Gathering Breath stage, with ordinary talent... making him even more confused!

He had personally experienced the donkey's strength, which could refine demon energy to such a pure and integrated state, and there were only a few in the entire continent who could do so!

Such a powerful being, if they wanted to take on a disciple, even a Grandmaster-level demon would have to queue up, and might not even get a chance!

Now... they directly took on a disciple with such poor talent and cultivation...

It all seemed strange.

"Could it be... they have mental problems?" A thought popped up.

These three beasts, clearly very powerful, always seemed ordinary. He had thought they were being low-key, but now it seemed they might have gone mad and damaged their brains!

If that's the case, it would be simple!

As long as he could find their weaknesses and use them to threaten, he might not only get the treasures in the courtyard but also make them obey his commands!

Once successful, it would be easy for him, the Great Demon of Bliss, to regain his former glory!

Thinking of this, his eyes grew brighter, and he trembled with excitement.

He walked towards the courtyard again, but before stepping in, he saw a young man open the door and walk in.

"Master!"

The parrot looked obedient, the turtle slowly lifted its head like a sloth, and the donkey, with a bridle, turned in place as if grinding.

Three super demons, capable of dominating the world, were as obedient as ordinary animals.

"Is this their master?" The Great Demon of Bliss's face twitched.

When he came yesterday, it was late, and he didn't see who the master was. This morning, he had been recovering from his injuries, and this was the first time he saw the master.

He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with no cultivation at all.

"Is he pretending to be a high-level person?"

After being beaten yesterday, the Great Demon of Bliss was no longer as impulsive as before. This person, who could make such powerful demon beasts submit, couldn't be simple. Perhaps he was deliberately hiding, and because of his low cultivation, he couldn't see through it!

"Let's test it..."

A thought came to him, and a strand of demonic energy crept along the ground to the young man's feet.

Whoosh!

The young man didn't notice and stumbled, almost falling.

"..."

Su Yin turned his head, full of frustration.

Chopping wood, he encountered a disguised genius from a sect, almost unable to return alive; walking on the road, he almost tripped and fell... What a bad day!

Forget it, no point thinking about it. He waved his hand and said, "I'll rest first, and make something to eat later. If you're hungry, find something in the courtyard!"

"He's really a mortal..."

Seeing the other party leave step by step, neither noticing the strand of demonic energy nor the troublemaker, the Great Demon of Bliss's eyes widened.

Such powerful demon beasts actually recognized a mortal as their master...

"Could it be... because of food?"

Recalling the other party's words before leaving and combining it with the "conditions" for the three beasts to take on a disciple, the Great Demon of Bliss felt he had grasped some truth, his face turning red.

"If I bring some delicious food, could I also subdue them and make them serve me?"

"Once successful, not only can I get the treasures in the courtyard and fully recover my strength, but I will also have three powerful helpers... At that time, those who offend me will all be killed, not a single one left! I will make the whole world submit to my shadow, not daring to resist!"

The Great Demon of Bliss trembled with excitement.

Before, he was thinking about how to kill these three, but now, subduing them would be even better?

"Ordinary demon beast meat won't do, it has to be something that can shock and taste great..."

Having made up his mind, the Great Demon of Bliss fell into deep thought.

"Dragon meat! Dragons are the kings of all beasts, even if they only have a trace of bloodline... they are definitely more fragrant than other demon beasts!"

A flash of inspiration, he thought of something.

Pure-blooded dragons might not be found in the entire Gan Yuan continent, but mixed-blood ones could still be found. If he could manage to get one, perhaps... he could win the hearts of the three demon beasts and make them serve him!

"Let's recover some strength first..."

Dragon bloodline is incredibly powerful, even a trace of it is top-notch among demon beasts. In the past, he wouldn't have cared, but now, with his injuries so severe and his strength reduced to a fraction, he had to be cautious.

Looking around, everything was "terrifying" vegetation, but the pile of feces in the corner was relatively safe. Most importantly, it contained a strong essence of holy origin. If he absorbed it well, even if he couldn't fully recover, he could still regain some cultivation.

As for a great demon hiding in a pile of feces, losing face... no big deal!

With strength, he could make up for it!

Slurp!

The Great Demon of Bliss burrowed in, feeling satisfied.

...

Fenglei Sect.

One of the second-tier sects in the Great Yan Province.

In the grand and magnificent meeting hall, several people were seated.

"Master, is this information accurate?"

A green-robed elder couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Fenglei Sect's Master, Qin Wentian, a Grandmaster-level powerhouse!

Five years ago, he narrowly lost to the master of Zhenxian Sect, and Fenglei Sect became a second-tier sect, harboring a grudge ever since.

"The information comes from the Bi Luo Sea, it should be accurate!" Qin Wentian nodded.

"Li Maosheng's entire army was wiped out, and Zhenxian Sect is leaderless, a scattered group. This is the best opportunity! If we seize the opportunity, we can not only take revenge but also advance to the top ten sects!"

The green-robed elder's eyes gleamed.

Li Maosheng, the fallen master of Zhenxian Sect.

"We can think of this, but Wu Yuan and the others can't be unaware. The spies we left in Zhenxian Sect reported this morning that... they have invited the junior uncle to come out of seclusion and oversee the sect."

Qin Wentian said.

"Junior uncle?" The green-robed elder was taken aback: "You mean the innate Dao body, immortal bloodline from ten years ago?"

Qin Wentian nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's only eighteen this year. At such a young age, no matter how talented he is, what can he do? Letting him oversee... can he really control the situation?" The green-robed elder sneered.

In this world, the ultimate factor is strength, and seniority... is just a formality.

"Still, we should be cautious. Wu Yuan and the others wouldn't do this without confidence. Let's send Yao Zhan to secretly investigate and see what kind of strength this junior uncle has. Once we have the information, we'll make our plans."

Qin Wentian said, his expression serious.

Yao Zhan is his personal disciple, whose cultivation is not weaker than that of ordinary elders, and more importantly, he is skilled in stealth and is an expert at gathering information.

Hesitating for a moment, the green-robed elder nodded: "Zhenxian Sect is too far from here. With Yao Zhan's speed, a round trip would take at least seven or eight days, which is too slow! Let my pet, the Silver-Winged Green Dragon, take him. If all goes well, he can make a round trip in a day."

"The Silver-Winged Green Dragon, though only at the Divine Palace stage, has dragon bloodline in its body, and its flying speed far exceeds that of ordinary demon beasts. It's the best choice!" Qin Wentian agreed: "Let's do it. Notify Yao Zhan to set out now!"

"Alright!"

The green-robed elder nodded hurriedly.
