Chapter 462: The Dog King's Promotion

Jiaomowang was never a tough nut to crack; he had just been unable to find a graceful way out earlier, which was why he kept being stubborn.

Now that he had a way out, Jiaomowang certainly would not keep clinging to his stance.

Jiaomowang looked at Kunpeng Demon Saint and spoke:

"Brother Kunpeng, since you have said as much, then I shall join Guyue Mansion."

After finishing, Jiaomowang bowed deeply to Duan Fengyun and said:

"Greetings, Lord Guyue!"

Duan Fengyun laughed heartily and said:

"Good, good, good. Jiaomowang, welcome to the fold.

My Guyue Mansion has gained another tiger general."

Duan Fengyun was happy from the bottom of his heart regarding Jiaomowang's joining.

He could tell that Jiaomowang was also a Monster King of the Shenren Realm; having two Monster Kings of the Shenren Realm under his command was considered very formidable even within the Monster Race.

Moreover, Jiaomowang also possessed Alchemy skills, which Duan Fengyun greatly appreciated.

Duan Fengyun spoke:

"Jiaomowang, I heard from Kunpeng Demon Saint that you know Alchemy?

I wonder how your Alchemy skills are."

Upon hearing this, Jiaomowang immediately became anxious.

He was a person who could be doubted by others in any other way, but he could not allow anyone to question his Alchemy skills.

Jiaomowang took out the gift he had prepared for Kunpeng Demon Saint from his bosom and said:

"Lord Guyue, this pill is one I have just finished refining.

It was originally a gift I prepared for Brother Kunpeng, but now that I have joined your Guyue Mansion, I shall offer this as my greeting gift."

Duan Fengyun took the small box handed over by Jiaomowang, opened it, and saw the pill with its fragrant medicinal scent, saying:

"The medicinal scent is pungent; it is clear that this is indeed a good pill.

But what is the function of this pill?

If it only has a scent but no practical use, then it is meaningless."

Jiaomowang spoke:

"My Lord, do not look down on these pills.

These pills were refined using all the materials I have collected in my life.

There are sixteen pills in this batch, and they can allow any monster below the Shenren Realm to raise their cultivation by one small realm.

You must know how difficult it is to raise one's cultivation level the further one progresses."

Upon hearing this, Duan Fengyun realized this was exactly what would solve his big problem.

He had been worried that Gou Wang and the others were too weak to be of much help, and now with Jiaomowang's cultivation-boosting pills, their strength could be improved significantly.

"Hu Wang, Xiang Wang, both of you come in!"

Duan Fengyun used his spiritual sense to transmit his voice and called Hu Wang and the others in.

Duan Fengyun gave one of Jiaomowang's pills to each of them and said:

"This is a pill refined by the newly joined Jiaomowang; it can help you raise your realm. Hurry and try it.

Especially you, Gou Wang, you are currently just one realm away; perhaps this pill can help you reach the Shenren Realm."

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the several Monster Kings looked at the pills in their hands as if they had found a treasure.

Jiaomowang was right; at their level, it was extremely difficult to improve their cultivation.

Now that the pills in their hands could allow them to raise their cultivation by a small realm, how could they not be excited?

Looking at the overjoyed Monster Kings, Duan Fengyun waved his hand and laughed:

"Alright, stop being so excited and go down to refine them.

Before they are refined, everything is just empty talk.

We shall talk again after you have refined them and made a breakthrough."

Hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the several Monster Kings bid farewell one after another and hurried back to their respective residences.

In this day and age, having one's own strength was more important than anything else.

After the several Monster Kings left, Duan Fengyun began to converse with Jiaomowang.

"Jiaomowang, how many minor monsters do you have under your command?"

Jiaomowang spoke:

"Lord Guyue, I usually just enjoy Alchemy, so I don't have many people.

I only have two Monster Kings of the Immortal General Realm and thirty thousand minor monsters under me."

Duan Fengyun nodded upon hearing this; this number of minor monsters was indeed considered small for someone of Jiaomowang's status as a Monster King.

However, Jiaomowang was also right; he focused on Alchemy, so minor monsters were of no interest to him.

Duan Fengyun spoke:

"Good, Jiaomowang. It is late now; after dawn tomorrow, you will take me to your territory to have a look.

I have a new plan: in the future, your territories will remain your own domains, and my Guyue Mansion will only serve to coordinate everyone.

You will still be the kings as usual, only you will declare to the outside world that you are Monster Kings of my Guyue Mansion.

When I have an order, you must respond to it immediately. If anyone does not act according to my requirements, then they will die a miserable death.

How about it, Kunpeng, Jiaomowang? Can you meet this requirement of mine?"

Jiaomowang and Kunpeng Demon Saint looked at each other, both of their faces filled with shock and joy.

Neither of them had expected that Duan Fengyun would actually let them continue to be their own Monster Kings; if things went on like this, Duan Fengyun would become a commander without an army.

This Duan Fengyun was actually not afraid of becoming a commander with no troops.

They did not care what Duan Fengyun was thinking; they only knew that by doing this, they could continue to be the monster kings who threw their weight around.

Just as Kunpeng Demon Saint said, if not forced by circumstances, who would be willing to live under someone else's roof?

Kunpeng Demon Saint spoke up:

"Lord Guyue, rest assured, as long as you give the order, I, Kunpeng, will definitely charge at the very front."

Seeing Kunpeng Demon Saint express his loyalty, Jiaomowang also immediately spoke up:

"Lord Guyue, rest assured, as long as you command to go east, I, Jiaomowang, will never go west."

Regarding the words of loyalty from Kunpeng Demon Saint and Jiaomowang, Duan Fengyun actually did not believe them.

However, he was not worried; the Beast Taming Method he had planted inside the bodies of Jiaomowang and Kunpeng Demon Saint gave him full confidence in controlling these two people.

After discussing with the two, Duan Fengyun returned to his room to rest.

Duan Fengyun sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion; he knew his strength was still very low and he needed to continuously improve his strength.

Duan Fengyun was also calculating, urging Zhu Bajie to take him and Liu Chenxiang to see Sun Wukong.

Only Sun Wukong had a way to take them to steal and eat Immortal Pills from Taishang Laojun, and only by following Liu Chenxiang could he be safe and sound after stealing and eating the Immortal Pills.

With the Immortal Pills, Duan Fengyun could improve his strength faster.

Moreover, Duan Fengyun was also planning whether he could get his hands on the Lotus Lantern after swallowing the Immortal Pills, and use the Lotus Lantern to refine the power of the Immortal Pills within his body.

Of course, if he could refine the Immortal Pills by his own ability, then he would not consider the Lotus Lantern.

After all, the Lotus Lantern involved too much; not to mention Erlang Shen, there were also Guanyin Pusa and others in the shadows.

Duan Fengyun dared not expose himself to this group of people now, otherwise his subsequent plans could not be implemented.

However, the most urgent task now was to quickly find Sun Wukong and then go to the heavens to eat the Immortal Pills.

Duan Fengyun closed his eyes and continued to practice the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.

He had to seize the time and could not have the slightest bit of slack.

Through a night of Meditation, Duan Fengyun felt even more refreshed.

Meanwhile, loud laughter rang out from the places where Xiang Wang, Hu Wang, Qingshe Wang, and Gou Wang were.

Duan Fengyun knew that it seemed these four people had all achieved a Breakthrough.

"Xiang Wang, Hu Wang, Qingshe Wang, Gou Wang, come see me immediately!"

Hearing Duan Fengyun's voice, Xiang Wang and the others, who had just achieved a Breakthrough and were still in high spirits, immediately calmed down and then ran straight to Duan Fengyun's residence.

Duan Fengyun nodded with satisfaction as he saw Xiang Wang and the others running over quickly.

Xiang Wang and Hu Wang had both broken through to the peak of Immortal General, Qingshe Wang had reached the late stage of Immortal General, and Gou Wang had indeed successfully broken through to the Shenren Realm.

Besides Kunpeng Demon Saint and Jiaomowang, Duan Fengyun now had one more combat power at the Shenren Realm.

Duan Fengyun looked at Gou Wang and said:

"Gou Wang, congratulations on your great Breakthrough!"

Gou Wang bowed deeply to Duan Fengyun and said:

"Many thanks, Lord Guyue. If it were not for you, I would certainly not have been able to achieve today's results.

All of this is bestowed by my master."

Gou Wang knew deeply that if it were not for Duan Fengyun, how could he have obtained the medicinal pills from Jiaomowang, and how could he have broken through this realm that had stopped him for hundreds of years.

Gou Wang had been stuck at the Shenren Realm for hundreds of years; for these hundreds of years, Gou Wang had used countless methods, but none had broken through this realm.

Hundreds of years of time had already made Gou Wang numb, and he had already let go of the matter of breaking through to the Shenren Realm.

After all, this realm was not something one could break through just by wanting to; everything depended on fate.

Perhaps he, Gou Wang, was destined to have no fate with the Shenren Realm.

But he did not expect that Duan Fengyun would help him get a medicinal pill to improve his strength; under the effect of this pill, Gou Wang successfully broke through to the realm he had dreamed of.

It was not that Gou Wang had not thought about getting a medicinal pill, but the medicinal pills that could help him improve his realm were not ordinary items.

He could not find anyone in the Human Realm, and he dared not go to the one who refined pills in the God Realm; if he went to find that person, he estimated that he himself would be refined into a pill.

And among the remaining Monster Race, there was only Jiaomowang, but he did not know Jiaomowang at all, and there was no one to act as a go-between; it was simply impossible for him to beg for a medicinal pill from Jiaomowang.

Now that he, Gou Wang, had become a monster king of the Shenren Realm, originally there were only seven great monster saints in the Monster Race; after Sun Wukong defected to Buddhism and became the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and the seven great monster saints became the six great monster saints, no new monster saint had appeared.

Originally, Duan Fengyun's existence could compete for the seventh great monster saint, but Duan Fengyun was of the Human Race, and he had other layouts; he would not put his own name in the Monster Race.

【Recommendation: "Wild Fruit Reading" is really easy to use for catching up on books; everyone can try downloading it here.】

Once his reputation as the Guyue Monster Saint spread, the Three Realms would inevitably notice this newly promoted monster saint, and then background investigations about him would begin.

Even if he hid it well, it would be hard to avoid being discovered, so Duan Fengyun would not put himself in the limelight.

However, now that Gou Wang had broken through to the Shenren Realm, Gou Wang could naturally be promoted to a new monster saint of the Monster Race.

Duan Fengyun's Guyue Mansion now possessed three monster saints: Kunpeng Demon Saint, Jiaomowang, and Gou Wang.

This strength could not even be matched by Bull Demon King, who was currently the greatest monster king of the Monster Race.
