Chapter 44: Chapter 44: One Dares to Learn, One Dares to Teach (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Follow-up Reads) Chapter 44: Chapter 44: One Dares to Learn, One Dares to Teach (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Follow-up Reads) According to the Divine Power Refining Method recorded in “Demon Transformation,” the first step is to temper the body with Demon Blood, shaping the physique in preparation for the sacrifice and refining of the Demon Essence and to draw it into the body for foundation establishment. The second step is to refine the Demon Essence, sealing it in the Profound Acupoint as a hidden furnace fire akin to a Divine Treasure. Chen Yuan planned to skip the first step altogether. Because he had made some achievements in practicing the Eight Mountain Carrying Pillars, his physique was tempered to be extremely strong, on par with a Demon Body. Once he opened up the other pillars, he would surpass demons. So, without hesitation, he prepared to draw the Demon Soul into his body for the sacrificial refining process. However, this Essence belonged to the Mountain Lord who nearly broke through the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, so Chen Yuan would not be blindly careless. He adjusted his breathing as his Elixir Field Furnace roared like bellows, burning ever more fiercely. At the same time, the Sword Ball within his body vibrated with a humming tremor, ready to spring into action. Within the black water of his flesh, seventeen Bright Lamps shone continuously, stimulating a warm current to surge forth, and the qi and blood within his body began to thunder and churn like rushing rivers. After completing all preparations, Chen Yuan began to operate his True Qi according to the method of refining the Demon Soul from Demon Transformation. “Phew” A strand of bright yellow flame line spewed from his mouth, wrapping around the black bean-sized Essence. The Essence, enveloped by the True Fire, spun rapidly as if there was a latent will within it, and black Demonic energy began to rise, darting back and forth, struggling to break free. Chen Yuan took a deep breath, swallowing the flame line into his body. And as that black Essence entered Chen Yuan’s body, its Demonic energy flared up fiercely, charging towards the Mud Ball. Next, inside the space of the Mud Ball, a deafening roar howled forth. A splendid tiger, its feet on Demonic energy, roared up to the sky as the Demonic energy tumbled around, accompanied by dense and numerous blades of wind, seeking to wreak havoc on Chen Yuan’s Mud Ball. “Dead and still restless,” Chen Yuan coldly huffed. His entire body roared. The sound of swords humming resonated as thousands of sword qi shot up from the Dantian, turning into countless rays of sword light, slashing toward the remaining Essence of the Tiger demon. Then, the seventeen Bright Lamps of his flesh churned his vast qi and blood, igniting True Fire, transforming into seventeen pillars of signal fire, twining around the lingering thoughts within the Tiger demon’s Essence to strangle it. For a moment, his body roared, and the Mud Ball vibrated. Sword Qi and Blood True Fire encircled the remaining clinging Essence, refining it through torment! The Mountain Lord’s lingering thoughts howled within, dashing left and right, but could not break free from the confines. This process lasted for nearly an hour. Finally, the resistance of that lingering thought grew weaker and weaker. Until it was thoroughly slain, leaving behind only the pure Essence. This marked the completion of a part of the process. Then, Chen Yuan attempted to use the Spiritual Sense within his body to drive this Essence, from below the Twelve Story Building in the Mud Ball, directly into the black water of the flesh. In the mist, he searched for the Profound Acupoint that needed refining. After finding it, the remaining process was to guide the Essence to continuously and forcibly impact it. During this process, the Essence itself, carrying the qi of the Demon, began to dissipate, scouring the flesh. The body could not contain the Demonic energy, which was like water meeting hot oil, causing tremors within the flesh. This demonstrated the necessity of the first step, tempering the body with Demon Blood. But the seventeen Bright Lamps within Chen Yuan’s body, burning the True Fire, forcibly refined all the dissipated Demonic energy. Time passed little by little. And in the room, Xiao Hua the squirrel and Little Bai, feeling the increasingly alarming aura within the house, “swooshed” and hurriedly rushed out. They leaped directly onto the courtyard wall. Landing in the next-door neighbor’s yard. At that moment, a little boy was sitting on a stone stump under a tree in the courtyard, with a book covering his face, leaning against the tree, fast asleep. Squirrel Xiao Hua hopped onto the boy’s face, scratching him with its furry paws. Awakening the boy who was dreaming of meeting Master Zhou. Upon seeing the squirrel, the boy’s face lit up with joy, he picked up Xiao Song and then, with a hopeful expression, asked, “Little squirrel, you’ve come to play with me?” “Did you bring me something tasty?” Squirrel Xiao Hua spat from its mouth. A piece of cake came out. Then, a second piece, then a third. They were the green bean cakes that the woman brought last time as offerings for the two little ones. But those cakes had already been eaten long ago. As for where these pastries came from. It’s likely that a pastry shop in the county has been burglarized in the past couple of days! Huwa, not at all disgusted that the pastries came from Little Squirrel’s mouth, had his eyes shining and hurriedly joined Little Squirrel and White Fox. You take a piece, and I take a piece; the three of them divided and started sharing the food. After Huwa finished eating with effort, Little Squirrel jumped down to the ground, picked up the book Huwa dropped, and then hopped back onto the stone stool. Its furry paw turned to a page and pointed at it. Huwa hurriedly looked over, frowning. “Little Squirrel, are you going to recognize this sentence today?” “Let me think, Master taught this.” Huwa, with a tiger’s disposition, scratched his head, then his eyes lit up. “I remember now, this sentence is called, ‘Since it has come, then accept it.'” “It means... it means, if a thief comes to your house, give a shout ‘Thief! Since you’ve come, don’t think about leaving. Stay here peacefully and take whatever you want.'” “Master said, in dangerous situations, don’t resist, this is called ‘urgent avoidance of danger,’ otherwise our lives are not guaranteed.” Little Squirrel heard this sentence, screeched excitedly, and started hopping around on the stone stool. It liked this sentence. Learned something new! This is truly a case of one willing to teach and another willing to learn. ... And time slipped away; soon the sky gradually darkened, and night descended. In Chen Yuan’s little courtyard, night flowed like water, and still, there was no stirring from inside. At this time, in the center of the county town, at the County Government’s location. From the backyard, a scream was heard. In a certain study room, a fellow with a goat beard, wearing a green official’s robe embroidered with flying birds, knelt on the ground with a pained expression. His head was hardly tilting to one side, a foot resting on one of his shoulders. The owner of the foot was sitting on a high-backed chair in front of him. The man slouched in his seat, with broken brows and buck teeth; his rat-like face carried a hint of brutality. At this moment, this person put pressure on his foot, bending the County Magistrate of Qingshan County’s body severely, his eyes revealing a fierce light. “Speak, where in the hell is the Mountain Patrol Military Officer hiding?” “Keep silent and you’ll die.” At this moment, the County Magistrate’s bones were creaking, but he clenched his teeth and let out a muffled groan, “Who are... you people?” That rat-faced man grinned, his brows showing a hint of cruelty as he pressed down harder with his foot. The County Magistrate groaned, his body sprawled to the ground. “Who could have thought, you, the County Magistrate, have such a backbone, what a pity you won’t live long.” “You wouldn’t want all the townspeople and your family to be buried with you!” The County Magistrate of Qingshan County, grinding his teeth in an attempt to rise but powerless to do so, could only breathe heavily. “I don’t know where the lord is. If you have malicious intentions, the lord will naturally take action. I am alone, what is there to fear!” This remark made the rat-faced man’s eyes blaze with fury. “Damn it, in my life, I hate scholars the most, seeking death.” He lifted his leg, about to smash down fiercely. Just then, the door outside creaked open. A skinny, tall man with a hooked nose walked in. “Wait, killing him will alarm others. The Lord Envoy has now gone to Jing Mountain to plot a major event. We still need to be cautious about the tasks handed down.” “What’s there to fear, wouldn’t luring the snake out of its hole be better?” Rat Face said impatiently. “Can you defeat that Mountain Patrol Military Officer? He’s of the Third Realm Body Mystery!” Hooked Nose said ominously. Rat Face’s complexion turned ugly in an instant. “Plant him with a Demon Seed, he’ll be useful later,” the man with a hooked nose continued. Rat Face’s face darkened, and then, with a gasp, a red light was spat out from his mouth. Following that, a gruesome scene unfolded. The red light was a ball of flesh with dense, writhing tentacles, about to emerge! Suddenly, the flesh ball let out a shrill cry and retracted into Rat Face’s mouth. Forcing him to choke hard, his face alternating between red and white. Following that, his expression changed, and he looked towards the west. “Such strong Demonic Qi!” (ps: We are about to switch recommendations; please continue to read and support this. Thank you!)
