Chapter 7 Slaying the Rat Demon and Obtaining Rat Skin

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing concealed their forms, floating in mid-air, searching quietly.

They could vaguely sense the rat demon's presence, but couldn't pinpoint its exact location.

As Xiaoqing searched, she grumbled angrily, "I'm so mad! Those bald monks from Lingyin Temple and Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou are always catching demons, which makes us afraid to use our divine sense to investigate!"

Bai Suzhen remained calm: "It's good if we find them, but it doesn't matter if we don't. As long as these rat demons stay far away from my husband, I won't bother them."

"Oh, sister, stop calling me 'husband' all the time! It's just about repaying a debt of gratitude and achieving the goal of fulfilling one's duty. Don't get caught up in a love triangle."

Demons find cultivation difficult, so they naturally try to avoid calamities whenever possible.

Calamities like wind, thunder, water, and fire are relatively easy to overcome; whether using magical treasures or supernatural powers, there are always ways to get through them.

The tribulations of love, however, were extremely difficult.

For demons, or even celestial beings who have never experienced love, the ethereal tribulation of love is the most difficult to overcome.

Like the Seven Fairy Maidens, the Third Holy Mother, and the Fairy Yunhua, they all fell victim to the tribulations of love.

Xiaoqing was genuinely worried when she saw her older sister acting confused and disoriented these past few days.

Bai Suzhen, however, didn't care: "I've cultivated for a thousand years, and I've experienced many tribulations. Don't underestimate me. Besides, tribulations of love... how can human love be considered a tribulation?"

it's over...

My sister is hooked.

Xiaoqing was furious, but didn't know what to do.

If she doesn't repay Xu Xian's kindness, her sister's life won't be fulfilled.

Xu Xian, that scoundrel, was also good at sweet talk, bewitching his sister and making her fall head over heels in love.

From Xiaoqing's perspective, her older sister is caught in a dilemma.

They are truly in a dilemma.

"Sigh, sister, I hope you can make a decisive decision when the time comes."

Xiaoqing muttered something and noticed that her sister's flying speed had increased slightly.

She immediately followed and went straight to the top of an old locust tree.

"Hmm...it was here not long ago, but it's already gone."

"Alright, since it has retreated, let's not cause any more trouble... Spread the word that no demon is allowed to approach within three miles of the Xu residence, or they will be killed without mercy!"

"Okay, sister."

Bai Suzhen looked up at the moonlight, feeling its essence, and suddenly said, "I suddenly feel that my bottleneck has loosened a little."

"What?!"

Xiaoqing was taken aback.

Although it is said that among all the beings in the world, those with nine orifices can cultivate, one's foundation determines the upper limit of cultivation.

For example, ordinary snakes, insects, rats, and ants, even if they cultivate for thousands of years, will only have mediocre strength.

Those among the human race with great wisdom and innate intelligence can easily suppress it after only thirty or twenty years of cultivation.

Not to mention the even more noble dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, and even innate beings, whose potential is immeasurable.

Monkey King was a stone monkey born of heaven. After seven years of cultivation, he mastered all the skills and gained the ability to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

That is the reason.

Xiaoqing knew that she and her sister had very ordinary backgrounds, only possessing a few more spiritual qualities than ordinary snakes.

Even if one's cultivation reaches the point of perfect merit, one is still far inferior to certain beings with powerful bloodlines.

My sister has already reached the limit of her cultivation and should be unable to make any further progress.

What's going on?

Could it be that worldly love can help demons break through their limits?

Isn't this a love tribulation?

Although Xiaoqing found it strange, she was genuinely happy.

Once the older sister successfully breaks through the limits of her own foundation, she may even be able to nourish her bloodline.

Based on the white snake, it evolved into the form of a dragon.

Only then will it be a time when fish can leap freely in the vast sea.

Bai Suzhen, sensing her own state, blushed and said, "I don't know what happened either. When I was making the deductions, everything was blurry and I couldn't see clearly. I only know that the beginning of the loosening of my cultivation was on my wedding night."

"..."

Xiaoqing didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, but she knew it was a good thing.

She muttered softly, "Xu Xian and my sister really seem to be a match made in heaven."

------

Xu Xian led the two rat demons around for a while and arrived at a small riverbank.

"The river here can conceal your demonic aura, and of course, it can also erase many traces."

The two rat demons looked at Xu Xian with slight confusion: "Why would you, a human, help us?"

The other rat demon's face turned fierce: "Since you've already helped us, why not go all the way? Our brothers' cultivation is on the verge of a breakthrough; all we need is a blood meal... You just said this place can cover up many traces, right?"

"yes."

Xu Xian gripped the sword hilt with his right hand, turned around and laughed, "It seems we're thinking the same thing."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xian drew his sword and slashed horizontally!

The two rat demons felt a chill run down their spines, their glossy fur standing on end, as if a great danger was about to befall them!

broken!

The person in front of me is not a savior, but a killer!

Fortunately, this person's aura was extremely weak, and he did not appear to have any martial arts skills or magical power.

Even if you hold a precious sword, how much strength can you wield?

They probably wouldn't even be able to cut through the skin.

Thinking of this, the two rats stretched out their claws to block, and at the same time opened their mouths, about to spew out a foul stench.

Swish!

Under the moonlight, a flash of cold light appeared, and two heads were thrown high into the air, with blood splattering everywhere!

The two mice looked at their broken paws and felt their heads spinning in the air.

I was completely dumbfounded.

"We've fallen for this person's trick."

"The sword exudes the aura of realgar..."

"This person is no ordinary human. The power of that sword strike just now was almost at the level of a grandmaster of martial arts, enough to fight a demon with his own strength..."

The two rats had already been separated from their bodies, and their life force was naturally fading away rapidly.

Only after their heads fell to the ground did the two rats cough up blood and stammer, "The...the Great King will avenge us!"

"I understand, I understand. Even if your king doesn't come, I will still go to find it."

Xu Xian gave a perfunctory reply and then directly drew his sword to cut open the rat's fur.

Then, he picked up the rat's carcass, holding the flesh with one hand and the skin with the other, while simultaneously unleashing his magical power.

Pull hard!

click!

Skin and flesh separated!

Xu Xian successfully obtained a fairly complete rat skin.

Protected by magical power, no blood splattered on him.

"Very good, next one!"

Xu Xian followed the same method and obtained a second rat skin.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for slaying two level 12 rat demons]

[Player Xu Xian's Dao Qi Gain: 24]

Player Xu Xian has obtained 2 [Rat Demon Skin (White)]

"My strategy was correct. By taking them by surprise, I can kill two level 12 rat demons with a single sword strike."

"If it gets into a prolonged fight, that could be troublesome."

"It's a pity that this rat meat is wasted; it would be a great tonic for mortals."

Xu Xian muttered something, then kicked the bodies and heads of the two rats into the river.

They then buried the rat skin in a burrow that had been prepared beforehand.

"Rat hide is an excellent material for refining weapons in the early stages; it's very useful!"

"Perfect for making a pouch to hold my treasures!"

"When it comes to embroidering purses, how many people can compare to you?"

"...The Weaver Girl!"

Xu Xian flicked his sword, and the bloodstains on the blade drew a perfect arc, spilling onto the riverbank.

Sheath your sword, wash your hands, and hurry home!

Under the moonlight, Xu Xian ran at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, feeling quite exhilarated.

When Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing arrived home, they found Xu Xian already lying in bed, breathing steadily, clearly fast asleep.

Bai Suzhen carefully undressed and got into bed, the wooden bed inevitably making some noise.

Xu Xian's eyebrows twitched, and then he opened his eyes.

He pulled Bai Suzhen into his arms and whispered something to her.

Bai Suzhen blushed and nodded.

……

……

……

The next morning, Xu Xian felt refreshed!

After breakfast, he left the house and headed straight for the river.

"To see the Weaver Girl, you must first get past the Ox, who is the Golden Ox Star in the sky."

"With my current strength, I absolutely cannot kill it; I'll need to use some tricks!"

"Conceal your presence and make a deal with Old Bull!"

"Even the Dragon Boat Festival will be 'terrified' by perfection."

While Xu Xian's Yin-Yang Intercourse Technique does have some concealing effects, it can only hide his cultivation level down to the mortal realm.

There was no way for them to hide themselves in front of Bai Suzhen and the old ox.

He needs the true method of tortoise breathing and breath-holding!

Xu Xian was familiar with the plot, so he naturally knew where to look for him.

—Peach Blossom Spring!

"With my current 3 points of good fortune, it would probably take hundreds of attempts to trigger the story of 'The Peach Blossom Spring'?"
