[There are scumbags among men, and scumbags among demons.]
[Honestly, the Demon King of Juliang Mountain handled this matter really unfairly.]
[Everyone knows that cat demon Shi Rou is his most beloved concubine.]
[But even so, you only gave the cultivation manual’s upper half. Why not the whole thing?]
[Maybe if you’d given the full manual, she wouldn’t have sneaked out at night to plot against you!]
[Perhaps that’s what they call karma.]
[Of course, joking aside, the bodies must be destroyed without a trace.]
[The corpses of cat demon Shi Rou and wolf demon Jiang Liao absolutely cannot be found by anyone.]
[Otherwise, big trouble could arise.]
[Fortunately, at this moment, Ye Yu already possessed cultivation at Nascent Soul Realm.]
[He had many spells and divine arts at his disposal.]
[For example, the Burning Blood Heavenly Flame—a forbidden technique that truly leaves no bone behind.]
[Really very useful.]
[If cultivation techniques could be rated, Ye Yu would definitely give it a perfect score.]
[After finishing all this,]
[Ye Yu didn’t rush back to Juliang Mountain.]
[Instead, he immediately concealed his cultivation level and began reviewing the entire process of this auto cultivation talent.]
[One thing was certain.]
[This auto cultivation talent was definitely a kind of bug.]
[In just half an incense stick’s time, it allowed a cultivation technique to be thoroughly comprehended and cultivation level maximized.]
[Saving the trouble of arduous practice.]
[Besides that, it seemed to have a godlike ability—to automatically seek treasures.]
[Because under normal circumstances, Ye Yu would never have known that Shi Rou and Jiang Liao would appear here.]
[But the moment auto cultivation activated,]
[The talent took control of his body and ran crazily toward this place.]
[This proves auto cultivation can autonomously seek treasures or cultivation techniques to practice.]
[But such ability was both loved and hated.]
[Because it was like a double-edged sword—it could harm others and oneself.]
[Like this time’s auto cultivation.]
[His body directly found Shi Rou and Jiang Liao, who were completely unprepared, which was why Ye Yu easily took them out.]
[What if these two didn’t know Ye Yu and instinctively attacked?]
[What then?]
[It’s ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ a joke that all three demons were at Qi Refining Realm.]
[But the strongest should have been Shi Rou, who wielded a mid-grade magic tool demon blade.]
[If they had teamed up against Ye Yu, he’d be in serious trouble.]
[This is the drawback of auto cultivation.]
[Ye Yu couldn’t predict what kind of opponents he’d meet next time the dream talent activated.]
[If they were far stronger, and he insisted on facing them head-on,]
[That would just be seeking death.]
[Of course, this problem wasn’t unsolvable.]
[Very simple—just have absolute strength.]
[For example, if Ye Yu’s strength reached a level where no demon in Juliang Mountain could challenge him,]
[Then theoretically, after activating auto cultivation talent, he could freely seek treasures and cultivate without worry.]
[Of course, this was just theory and hadn’t been tested, so it was unknown if feasible.]
[Also, there was the question of whether activating auto cultivation might cause him to leave Juliang Mountain.]
[Outside, there were even more and fiercer demons.]
[Tsk tsk, quite troublesome.]
[After much thought, Ye Yu decided to stop overthinking.]
[If he couldn’t find the answer, then not thinking was better.]
[Life and death are fate; wealth and honor are heaven’s decree!]
[At worst, every time he activated the dream talent, he’d snap his fingers and pretend he was gambling with fate.]
[Well, no need to pretend—it really was a gamble!]
[The next day, Juliang Mountain was calm and peaceful.]
[As if no one noticed the disappearance of Shi Rou and Jiang Liao.]
[This puzzled Ye Yu.]
[Later, he found out.]
[The Demon King of Juliang Mountain seemed to have been in seclusion for over half a month.]
[Since he hadn’t emerged, naturally he didn’t care about where Shi Rou was.]
[As for wolf demon Jiang Liao, he was just a lackey.]
[Such low-level demons were very mobile.]
[Running away was normal.]
[After all, demons strive upward, water flows downward. Maybe changing places would bring new adventures.]
[So them leaving wasn’t unusual.]
[Ye Yu also stayed at Juliang Mountain for a reason.]
[He wanted to find the second volume of Heavenly Nourishing Art.]
[A thought arose.]
[If before activating auto cultivation, he placed the cultivation manual right in front of him,]
[Would he then not need to run around and could just cultivate on the spot?]
[Honestly, this seemed like a feasible idea!]
[At least, that was Ye Yu’s opinion!]
[But how to get the second volume was a question worth pondering.]
[Should he just ask the Demon King of Juliang Mountain for it?]
[Ask him while he was in seclusion?]
[This idea popped up and was immediately rejected by Ye Yu!]
[The Demon King was a great demon at Ascension Realm.]
[While Ye Yu was only at Nascent Soul Realm.]
[There were four great realms in between—a huge gap, almost unreal!]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible!]
[But if not the Demon King, then who else could he ask for the second volume?]
[Ye Yu was torn.]
[But life in the Demon Realm was always full of change.]
[No one knew what would happen next.]
[For example, while Ye Yu was standing in place, he received the latest order from the lackey captain.]
[Starting this afternoon, you are assigned to guard outside Madam Bai’s Blessed Cave.]
[This order came directly from Madam Bai.]
[Lackey, you’re going to soar! When you make it big, don’t forget your brother!]
[Hearing this, Ye Yu was completely baffled.]
[Madam Bai was the Demon King of Juliang Mountain’s first consort, full name Bai Yang, a rabbit demon.]
[Usually, low-status lackeys could only patrol the demon mountain or hold the fort outside.]
[Guards at the Blessed Cave outside must be elite demons at Golden Core Realm or above.]
[They would also become trusted aides of those they served.]
[More or less receiving some scraps discarded by nobles.]
[And these scraps were treasures that countless low-level demons would kneel and beg for their whole lives.]
[They were also the hope for breaking through realms in the future.]
[So among demon mountain jobs, the most coveted position for lackeys was to be a guard!]
[But Ye Yu could not understand why, all of a sudden, Madam Bai assigned him to be a guard.]
