Chapter 69: Demon Cultivator Literacy

"The wooden man is fake after all. It is time to welcome a real challenge. Demon cultivation is about turning the impossible into the possible."

After Senior Shen Song finished speaking, it withdrew a wooden man, leaving only Lin Jing cursing there.

Qi Refining fighting Golden Core—this is not called turning the impossible into the possible; it is called a longevity meat bun hitting a dog—there is no return.

A spatial spirit plant is very fragrant, but let alone a group of Demon Core stage great demons, even if it were a few Foundation Establishment stage demon beasts, they could not be their opponents.

"Squeak!" The Pine Needle Rat walked to Lin Jing's side and tugged at his trouser leg.

It meant let's do it!

Don't we have illusion techniques?

It had a premonition that the wish that could not be fulfilled in the Bodhi Sky last time might be helped by this spatial spirit plant.

"You really think beautifully." Lin Jing glanced at it.

Using the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Illusions technique to transform into a Nascent Soul Demon King to deceive those great demons—the risk is really not small.

However... seeing Senior Shen Song's determined attitude, Lin Jing knew it would definitely not change its mind.

"Fine, let's do it. We even deceived the Undying Demon in the Demon Suppressing Tower. Are we still afraid of the demon beasts in this remote Great Wilderness?"

"Senior, in which direction?"

After replenishing their physical strength, Lin Jing and the Squirrel Fish set off again.

Black Wind Valley, the lair of a deceased great demon. The entrance to the valley was covered by rows of twisted dead trees. The trees were skeletal and rugged, the leaves had long withered away, leaving only bare branches emitting shrill whimpers in the night wind.

The abandoned valley had not had demon energy for a long time, but now it was once again filled with demon power. Numerous demon pupils stared fixedly in the darkness at the newborn white sprout in the valley.

The demon beasts present did not recognize what this spirit plant was, but the instinct in their blood told them that eating this grass might have great fortune. This grass had not yet matured, but it emitted an amazing fragrance and also permeated spatial fluctuations. It was truly rare.

However, although there were an unknown number of demon shadows gathered inside and outside the valley at the moment, facing this grass, few demon beasts dared to act rashly.

First, the spirit grass had not yet matured. When most spirit plants were not mature, the nutrients had not yet condensed, and eating it might be eating it in vain.

Second, there were too many corpses in the valley. Not far from the white grass, corpses were strewn across the field. More than a dozen demon beasts were lying there just like that, clearly killed when they wanted to take the spirit grass.

"Otherwise, let's withdraw. This grass is suspicious. I feel it will be bait. We don't even know what it is." In the darkness, there were also whispers from human cultivators.

"No matter what the effect is, spatial spirit grass is extremely rare and valuable. The Beast Taming Sect has always not asked about the type and recycles it at a high price. If we snatch it, we won't have to worry about cultivation resources for the rest of our lives."

"But the Beast Taming Sect is gone! This shows that this thing is ominous." Another cultivator transmitted sound.

"That makes sense. There are demon beasts everywhere here. It is not our home field. Let's go." Several months had passed, and the news of the Beast Taming Sect being investigated by the Sect Management Office had spread throughout the Great Wilderness.

Lin Jing, the Pine Needle Rat, and the little bee transformed by the Dragon Carp also landed outside Black Wind Valley, observing the situation inside.

Facing the terrifying demon energy permeating the sky and this dark forest-like environment, Lin Jing did not dare to act rashly.

"Senior Shen Song, inside and outside Black Wind Valley, are there any Nascent Soul Demon Kings?"

"If we are in danger, you will definitely act, right?"

He asked two questions in a row, but Senior Shen Song did not speak.

After a while, Senior Shen Song replied:

"This grass is the 'Empty Escape Grass', a Fifth Rank spirit grass. Its birth method, growth location, everything is a mystery. It is only known that during the growth period, it will often 'teleport' itself to another place and change to a different growth environment."

"If you want it, hurry up, because I don't know when it will slip away again."

"In addition, don't worry that it hasn't matured. You can rest assured to snatch it. After digging it out, you can prolong its life with the Green Emperor Longevity Art!"

While Lin Jing and Senior Shen Song were communicating, it seemed that other demon beasts could not hold back and intended to snatch the immature Empty Escape Grass.

It was an unknown demon beast proficient in the Earth Escape technique. It approached the Empty Escape Grass from underground, very hidden, but it still underestimated the great demons in the darkness.

A red light broke out from the darkness and blasted into the underground. With a bang, following the appearance of a large pit, this mole demon had a blood hole in its body and died on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jing felt more and more that the wooden man was still cute.

"Wait!"

Things had come to this, and Lin Jing chose to wait, waiting for the best opportunity. He could not guarantee that transforming into a Nascent Soul Demon King and going out directly to take the grass would definitely be safe.

Seeing Lin Jing and the others concentrating on waiting, Senior Shen Song also looked at the Empty Escape Grass.

"Reaction ability to environmental changes... calm, alert will and patience... wisdom to judge the timing... decisiveness to make correct actions in complex situations..."

"This is... the basic literacy of a demon cultivator. Come on, Longevity Cub."

One day... two days... three days. Although Senior Shen Song said that the Empty Escape Grass would move autonomously, Lin Jing still did not find a suitable opportunity to enter.

However, even if he did not enter, he had to maintain a high degree of vigilance, maintain the illusion, hide his figure, and ensure that he was not detected by the great demons hidden in the dark.

During this period, I don't know how many demon beasts that couldn't hold back had died inside. This process also allowed Lin Jing to judge the locations where several demon beasts were hidden. Everyone was waiting for a suitable opportunity to act.

"How could it be her?"

After another period of time, what made Lin Jing puzzled was that a familiar figure appeared in the valley. The other party was in plain white clothes, with a long sword floating around her body. It was the Spirit Moon Sword Immortal Feng Ning whom he had seen in Snow Moon City before!

She descended, and like those demon beasts that couldn't hold back, her goal was clear—it was that immature Empty Escape Grass. And unsurprisingly, she also suffered an attack from the dark!

Several demon lights permeated, but compared to those self-overestimating demon beasts before, Spirit Moon Sword Immortal, with one person and one sword, swung out several sword qi. Not only did she extinguish the attacks in the dark, but the sword qi also escaped into the darkness, accompanied by screams, killing all the demon beasts hidden in the darkness.

"Empty Escape Grass?" Spirit Moon Sword Immortal had already approached the Empty Escape Grass. Just at this moment, more great demons hidden in the dark acted together, and demon shadows covered the sky of the valley.

"Ah———" But without Spirit Moon Sword Immortal needing to continue to act, the sword spirit in her sword had already activated the sky-filling sword qi for her. These great demons didn't even have a chance to struggle before they were all eliminated. Seeing that the Empty Escape Grass was about to fall into the hands of Spirit Moon Sword Immortal, Lin Jing could not sit still.

Rumble.

I saw a pine tree emitting golden-green divine light all over its body, emitting the prestige of a peerless Demon King, walking step by step from the distance toward the valley with its roots as feet. In this process, the ground it stepped on had vegetation regaining vitality, the dead silence of autumn dissipated, and the withered trees were dyed with green again.

"A Demon King has come!"

Such terrifying Demon King prestige, coupled with a terrifying female sword cultivator in the valley, made many demon beasts in the dark give up their fluke mentality and quickly flee the valley, no longer holding the idea of snatching the spirit grass.

"Damn it, who told you to turn into me?" Lin Jing walked step by step. Senior Shen Song said: "And it's so ugly, even the hairstyle is wrong." ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
