Chapter 299: Chapter 117: World Turned Upside Down, Roles Reversed
Spirit Type: Mutated Monkey, Tiger Demon, Skull Flower, Mist Lizard.
The only option was the "Ordinary Rhino Spirit".
So, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and removed the "physical type demon blood" that had once helped him break through from within his body. Then he stored the "Eight-Horned Demon Bull" demon blood in the blood bar.
In an instant, an image of a blood-red four-horned demon bull appeared in the blood bar.
After doing this, Li Xuan looked at the corpse of the demon bull, showing a contemplative expression.
In the past, he would always destroy the demon corpses, but this time...
’I might as well let my senior sister sweep up the remnants, then... I can better explain to the sect.’
With this in mind, Li Xuan quickly returned and switched back to the Illusion Skill dummy.
The next day.
The two engaged in a battle of wits and courage with the air.
Then, cautiously probing, slowly going deeper, they finally saw the corpse of the four-horned demon bull.
Feng Mengrou was overjoyed, however, she was surprised to find something off with the demon blood of the four-horned demon bull.
But... since it was someone’s leftovers, she wasn’t so picky and thought the unknown demon that won must have taken it. Then she hurriedly used nearby wood to make a simple cart, sneaking away like a thief.
Li Xuan pulled from the front, and Feng Mengrou pushed from the back, thus... they headed towards the sect.
...
The two walked and stopped intermittently.
Meanwhile, Li Xuan used the spare time on the road to test the Demon Technique [Root of the Mountain].
After all, the name [Root of the Mountain] gave no indication of its nature.
During his clash with the demon bull, he hadn’t seen the demon bull use [Root of the Mountain].
However, after some testing, Li Xuan finally understood.
The result was quite unexpected, as [Root of the Mountain] turned out to be a "passive skill".
In simple terms, as long as he possessed this demon technique while fighting in the mountains, his body’s resistance to attacks would be elevated in all aspects, as if he were rooted in the mountain, able to draw various mysterious powers from it.
This kind of demon technique was something Li Xuan had never heard of.
And after injecting the demon blood of the [Eight-Horned Demon Bull], his whole body would rapidly turn red, his hair would become extremely hard, and his skin would thicken.
But this was nothing to Li Xuan.
After seeing through the "essence of life," his flesh and blood could now move entirely at his will, recombining freely.
Fire poison no longer leaked out.
The appearance was no longer restricted.
Transformed into a rabbit, he was Li Xuan; transformed into a bird, he was still Li Xuan...
With the demon blood of the [Eight-Horned Demon Bull] injected into his body, although his skin would turn red and his hair harden, a mere shake would restore his form to normal.
From now on, he could inject any of his nine types of demon blood at will without worrying about changes in appearance.
In that case, maybe... he could explore the Lingyi Sect.
Flying swords, sword arrays, all made him uneasy.
Especially the Lingyi Sect Leader who used the sect’s spiritual ores and even bought three large batches of diseased metal from outside, spending over half a year in seclusion forging something, which aroused strong vigilance in him.
If that thing actually came into being, all balances might be broken.
Now, with his Li Xuan’s flesh and blood capable of myriad transformations, able to escape a hundred miles on incense smoke, at the very least he wouldn’t come back empty-handed, and could protect himself somewhat in the chaos.
Besides...
He hadn’t given up the dream of "breaking through to the Returning to Truth Realm, truly mastering the flying sword."
It’s quite amusing that Li Xuan advised Wei Yao to go home and visit family, yet he... wanted to take a real trip to the Lingyi Sect.
He glanced at the "115 unsued Demon Points" and his own attributes.
Times have changed, and so have circumstances.
Suddenly, Li Xuan had a thought, and then his eyes glowed, shimmering with a dark and deep brilliance within, unfathomable and impenetrable...
...
...
May.
The third batch of diseased metal finally entered Sunrise Peak of the Lingyi Sect.
The Sect Leader continued his retreat to forge weapons.
And the corpse of the "Eight-Horned Demon Bull" was also brought to the Lingyi Sect.
At the bottom of the stone steps of the high mountain gate, the huge demon corpse lay horizontally.
Feng Mengrou stood silently here.
The elders who came from the sect whispered among themselves, repeatedly inquiring, and upon learning that Feng Mengrou had picked up the corpse, they were all at a loss for words.
Just then, a commotion arose.
"The Acting Sect Leader Feng is here."
"Greetings to Acting Sect Leader Feng..."
"Greetings to Acting Sect Leader Feng..."
Feng Mengrou looked up and saw the man walking over from above, tall with a touch of coldness on his face, none other than Feng Xiongyi.
Feng Xiongyi coldly glanced down at the stone steps.
This woman had once been his childhood sweetheart...
But now, he loathed her deeply.
The existence of this woman always made him feel inexplicably humiliated.
Had he known it would turn out this way, it would have been better to have killed her right from the start.
Feng Xiongyi’s gaze swept past and slowly landed on the demon bull’s corpse, observing briefly, he said coldly, "The Eight-Horned Demon Bull, with only four horns, is merely at the pinnacle of Tier Two, not having entered Tier Three. Steward Mengrou is using this to fool us?"
The elders naturally recognized it as the Eight-Horned Demon Bull.
And the Eight-Horned Demon Bull, although at the pinnacle of Tier Two, was even stronger compared to the early stage of Tier Three.
Feng Mengrou retorted decisively, "In the map you gave us, there was only this demon in the Valley of the Dead. We brought back its body. Its flesh and blood can make high-grade demon pills, its hide and fur..."
Feng Xiongyi sneered, "What’s the value of a demon that has lost its demon blood and essence blood?"
Feng Mengrou said, "To make meat pills."
"Meat pills? Can mere meat pills from a Tier Two demon compensate for the loss Steward Mengrou brought to the sect?" Feng Xiongyi said.
Feng Mengrou countered, "You assigned me, you allowed me to mobilize the sect’s resources."
Feng Xiongyi said, "But I also told you to carefully judge. If he’s not a genius, save some resources, to avoid reaching the current situation?"
