Chapter 10: The Land God Temple and the Fox Cave
"Alright, you've advanced to the first level of Qi Refining."
"Counting the days, at least the feeding wasn't in vain."
"Fellow Daoist Blood Raven, come with me. I'll show you the world and introduce you to other demon cultivators."
The snake demon Hei Chi, who poked out its enormous head, had a glint of greed in its eyes, but it quickly suppressed it.
This time.
In order to obtain a mid-level spiritual pill, he promised to bring a Blood-Eyed Raven at the Qi Refining Realm as one of their main dishes at this banquet.
The Yaksha who initiated this feast actually managed to take advantage of the situation when the zombie horde attacked the market, killing two human cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
They found a number of spirit pills in the human cultivator's storage bag.
This time, the Yaksha also prepared to take out some elixirs to give to the fellow Daoists at the gathering.
That's why Blackpool remembered the Blood-Eyed Raven he had raised. Although it had only just advanced to the first level of Qi Refining, its essence and demonic energy were enough to make it a main dish.
It tastes much better than any aged elixir.
Blackpool finished speaking.
Then it opened its massive, fanged mouth and swallowed Lin Li whole.
Lin Li, inside the snake demon's belly, had a more intuitive understanding of the snake demon's strength; the snake demon must have at least the fourth level of Qi Refining cultivation.
He was promoted just a few days ago and could not possibly be his match.
We have no choice but to obediently follow their orders.
However, unlike before, the demonic energy inside the snake's belly has been mobilized to form an armor on its body, allowing it to move around inside the snake's belly.
"This is?"
"Demon bones?"
Inside the snake's belly, there were still some undigested bone fragments.
Lin Li used his strong beak to pick up a piece and swallow it whole.
[Inclusion successful]
[First-tier, mid-range bloodline, One-Horned Frost Python!]
On the Reincarnation Disc, a projection of a spirit snake with light blue scales suddenly appeared, with a single dark blue horn on its head and a pair of emerald green eyes that flashed with a cold gaze.
"First-tier, mid-level bloodline."
Lin Li looked somewhat surprised.
This snake demon is eating so well.
That makes sense. If it were a demon beast of ordinary bloodline, there wouldn't be any remains left inside the snake's belly.
However, this level of mid-grade bloodline is still no match for that superior blue-tailed corpse fox.
Lin Li searched inside the snake's belly and found a few more bone fragments. Unfortunately, these fragments all came from the One-Horned Frost Python, so he couldn't add another bloodline to the snake.
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Li, clad in a menacing armor, was expelled from the snake's belly.
Looking around, it resembled a dilapidated temple.
Several cool, moon-like orbs of light floated on the roof, illuminating the scene inside the hall.
On the altar in the very center of the hall sat a yaksha, about ten feet tall, clad in ancient general's armor, with a blue face, fangs, and a head of wild, fiery hair that cascaded down his shoulders.
On both sides of the hall, there are seven spirits who have completed Qi refining, for a total of fifteen Qi refining spirits in the hall.
As soon as Lin Li was spat out by the snake demon, the gazes of more than ten Qi-refining monsters immediately fell on him, and he could clearly feel the gazes that made his heart tremble.
The demonic energy within its body seemed to be stimulated as well, and began to become restless.
"Fellow Daoist Blackpool, the Blood Raven you brought seems to have only recently entered the first level of Qi Refining."
"It's much worse than mine."
At this moment, the second spirit sitting on the left was a white skeletal demon wearing colorful clothes. Beneath the clothes was a pale skeleton, and within the empty eyes of the skull, two balls of eerie blue soul fire burned.
"Fellow Daoist Yaksha, it didn't say that the main course had to be at least the second level of Qi Refining."
"Even at the first level of Qi Refining, it's still a Qi Refining Spirit."
Blackpool shrank in size and flew behind the second-to-last table on the right, calmly retorting.
And right at this moment.
The poisonous smoke swirling around Lin Li's heart immediately began to spread out, sealing Lin Li's beak and demonic body, freezing him in place.
at the same time.
Lin Li also saw a human female cultivator in a green dress in a corner. The human female cultivator's mouth, nose, and limbs were also sealed, making her unable to move.
She could only look at Lin Li, who was also tied up, with tears in her eyes.
"Ahem, everyone, let's not ruin the harmony."
"Today's gathering is all for the purpose of jointly comprehending the Great Dao of cultivation."
"There's also the matter of joining the Wushan Fox Cave."
"Since the battle a hundred years ago, the Corpse Refining Sect lost three Foundation Establishment cultivators. At that time, only one Foundation Establishment cultivator was left to support the Corpse Refining Sect, and they were forced to reduce their sphere of influence."
"Now, a hundred years have passed, and I've heard that another Foundation Establishment cultivator has advanced within the Corpse Refining Sect."
"Many of the broken spiritual veins along the Black Fiend River can be cultivated into spiritual fields. The Corpse Refining Sect will likely send its disciples to reclaim these places."
"If we don't head west and instead go to the Wushan region, and instead stay here, won't we be in for a terrible disaster?"
Upon hearing these words from the Yaksha sitting on the altar, the expressions of the dozen or so demon cultivators below, all of whom were at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, changed drastically.
"The Corpse Refining Sect has gained another Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
Is this true?
Upon hearing this, Kuroike hurriedly inquired.
"Absolutely true."
"I swear that what I say is true."
The red-haired demon looked at the black pond, his tone firm.
"Oh no!"
"The cultivators in the Corpse Refining Sect are all ruthless. If we get captured, won't we all be turned into corpse puppets?!"
"But how am I going to move my whole family of dozens of people?"
The last one on the left, a large yellow rat demon, spoke with a pair of rat eyes full of panic.
"What a coward."
"What a coward!"
"My cave is protected by an array. If you dare to come, you'll get an extra meal."
"However, the Wushan Fox Cave that Fellow Daoist Yaksha mentioned, could it be the White Fox Granny under the big locust tree?"
Beside the giant yellow rat demon, a black bear spirit nearly ten feet tall glanced disdainfully at the giant yellow rat as he spoke.
Finally, he looked at the Yaksha seated above him and asked with some confusion.
"Exactly."
"Although Grandma White Fox is only at the peak of Qi Refining, she has a second-tier bloodline magic weapon that allows her to briefly unleash the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Combined with the large locust tree, which is also at the peak of Qi Refining, and the second-tier low-grade formation of the cave, even the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect would not dare to easily attack the fox den."
"It was White Fox Granny's maid who came to me to explain the matter of the Corpse Refining Sect."
"They also provided us with a sanctuary, specifically opening up several places in the broken spiritual veins at the foot of Fox Mountain where demon cultivators could practice their cultivation."
Yaksha nodded in response.
"We acknowledge the reputation of Granny White Fox, but what does she want us to do?"
The snake demon, Hei Chi, asked with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
At this point, the other spirits also looked at Yaksha with curiosity.
