Chapter 42: The Method of Cultivating Demons

  Guo Fei once again pulled Hu Xiaoyue out, and Hu Xiaoyue looked at Guo Fei with a gaze that was half gratitude and half fear. She had many doubts, but didn't dare to ask more questions.

  "As long as you are loyal, there are many benefits. This true energy vortex of yours is enhanced by killing, and it's also a bonus to your body, without affecting your own demonic power cultivation, can you understand?" Guo Fei said with a smile.

  "I understand!" Hu Xiaoyue's mind was shaken, how could she not know the meaning of this sentence, the extra bonus, and it was obtained through killing, which was much stronger than the slow and painful cultivation.

  "What is this thing, do you know?" Guo Fei took out the thing that looked like a compass from the demon hunter's body.

  "Search for the demon!" Hu Xiaoyue shouted, her tears streaming down uncontrollably.

  "Can you track down all the demons' trails?" Guo Fei asked in surprise.

  "No, Master!" Hu Xiao Yue calmed down and said softly: "This level of demon-tracking plate can only detect demonic beasts at the demonic soldier level. According to my father, this type of item is a spiritual tribe's ritual artifact that can detect the awakening of a demonic cultivator's beast soul. With this as guidance, I received Master's kindness and used condensed but not scattered true energy to seal my awakened beast soul, so it cannot be detected unless there is a higher-level demon-tracking plate."

  As expected, just like Hu Xiaoyue said, after Hu Xiaoyue circulated her true energy to seal her own beastly soul, the demon-tracking plate no longer pointed towards her.

  For the beastly soul of the demon tribe, Guo Fei had learned a lot from Zhao Xue. The seven souls in the body of the demon tribe are different from those of other tribes. Many people are born with awakened souls. If there is no awakened beastly soul in the body of the demon beast, it will definitely stop at the level of Demon Guard and find it difficult to be promoted to Demon General.

  The demon clan's demon core is equivalent to the human tribe's "origin", which can transform into yuan energy. Once the demon core is fully formed, using yuan energy to nourish the beast soul can form an extremely powerful attack method.

  Its awakened beast soul may be in seven positions, namely the top wheel, eyebrow heart wheel, throat wheel, heart wheel, navel wheel, reproductive wheel, and sea bottom wheel. Moreover, according to Zhao Xue, this is the absolute secret of every demon tribe cultivator, because once the demon beast starts to cultivate its beast soul, it will move the demon dan from the dantian into this position, coexisting with the beast soul, and nourishing the soul with the dan. Before the beast soul is fully formed, attacking this position may damage its foundation, which is their "weak point".

  "Where is your beast soul?" Guo Fei asked on purpose.

  "My beast soul is in the brow chakra, and the awakened one is the spiritual wisdom soul. We white fox tribe are generally awakened spiritual wisdom souls, belonging to yin, so my five-element attribute is water." Hu Xiaoyue said without hiding anything, and a bright light faintly appeared on her forehead, a fox-shaped light cluster faintly revealed blue, flashing in her brow chakra.

  Such an action shows his thorough loyalty to Guo Fei. Guo Fei smiled and nodded in agreement.

  "The slave has received the master's kindness and has opened up the Dan Tian Qi Hai hole, and can now begin to condense the demon pill. Moreover, the slave has a bold idea - with the true energy that the master has bestowed upon me, I can use it to nurture the beast soul in advance, allowing me to perform some spells." Hu Xiao Yue hastily reported.

  "No rush, although I don't understand your demon cultivator's cultivation method, I also know that if you want to make progress quickly, you won't reach it, and progressing step by step is better. Moreover, with my true energy vortex, you will find that your cultivation will improve very quickly in the midst of killing. What's important is to temper your body, otherwise your body can't withstand the intense true energy vortex and can't rapidly increase your cultivation." Guo Fei suddenly remembered his own sword's true energy.

  Then, Guo Fei asked some other questions, such as the issue of appearance, whether the demon tribe can change their appearance at will. According to Hu Xiaoyue, when a demon beast transforms for the first time, its appearance is often determined by its physical attributes and the smoothness of its meridians. Only some special demon tribes can change their appearance, such as the color-changing dragon demon tribe.

  They have been here for nearly ten days, fortunately, there were many foods hidden in the space of the token, so the two did not starve. However, all the food bought by Wen Shu was enjoyed by Guo Fei, so Guo Fei had to go back to Wusong Town to buy more.

  Guo Fei did not bring Hu Xiaoyue into the Bingfu space, she was different from the corpse soldiers, needed to eat and drink, and it was not conducive to her cultivation in the Bingfu space. Therefore, Guo Fei let her wear a bamboo hat and follow him.

  What surprised Guo Fei was that Hu Xiaoyue had an extremely deep understanding of human living habits. After Guo Fei's inquiry, he learned that these small beasts, living in the depths of mountains and marshes, were more likely to be swallowed by other demonic beasts and become supplements for cultivation, whereas living near humans was safer.

  They lived in a human mountain village for nearly thirty years to survive, hiding in the thatched cottage of a peasant family. Later, this family also discovered them and was exceptionally kind to them, not driving them away. Therefore, she is very familiar with human life.

  "Are there no evil fox spirits among you?" Guo Fei asked after hearing this.

  "There are. In the Wan Ku Mountain, there are fox spirits that transform and bewilder humans to increase their own cultivation by devouring them. However, this kind of evil method is forbidden by my father for us to learn, he's afraid we'll encounter human cultivators who are too powerful and get beaten until our souls scatter." Hu Xiao Yue said in a low voice.

  On the road, Guo Fei intentionally tried to test Hu Xiaoyue's skills, unfolding his ninja body method and rushing away. Hu Xiaoyue's body rotated like a light leaf, her body was like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, her beautiful dance posture swayed with the wind, closely following behind Guo Fei without falling back at all.

  "Are all of your Fox Clan's movements this wonderful?" Guo Fei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he watched her swift and agile movements.

  "Since I inherited the legacy of my master, I suddenly had an epiphany. I see that the movement of heaven and earth, and all things can be transformed into dance movements. I feel that martial arts techniques executed with dance movements not only can mesmerize people but also possess lethal power. Why wouldn't I do it?"

  Hu Xiaoyue's words made Guo Fei pause, and suddenly it became clear that her feeling was like his own swordsmanship, a kind of fate or technique inherited from the characteristics of the martial arts. She had just entered this state, and once she reached perfection, her martial skills would unfold, charming and captivating people, even enemies wouldn't bear to hurt her, while she hid a knife in her beauty, killing people with a smile.

  "Your idea is great, delve deeper and summarize a set of martial skills, why not refer to dance and combine your own killing moves, you will definitely achieve something." Guo Fei didn't bother to explain the dancer's affairs, after all, he wasn't very familiar with her, so he said vaguely.

  "Yes, master, I will try my best." Hu Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

  Women all love beauty, and Hu Xiaoyue is no exception. The two chatted while shopping at the market, buying several beautiful female martial arts costumes for Hu Xiaoyue. They also bought a lot of food for Wen Shu, as well as five kilograms of black wheat wine and five kilograms of fire-braised pork head from San Hulü.

  Finally, Guo Fei took her to the most famous Mingyuan Hardware Store in Wukeshu, preparing to buy some protective gear.

  Last time, Guo Fei had his eyes on a rhinoceros leather armor, but at that time he was reluctant to spend the money and didn't buy it. This time, during the battle, he encountered an archer, which made Guo Fei feel that he should still purchase a set of protective gear.

  Rhino skin armor, made from the skin of white rhinos, is exceptionally tough and comparable to lightweight steel armor. Due to its softness, it is more comfortable to wear than steel armor.

  Guo Fei bought two sets of leather armor, one for himself and one for Hu Xiaoyue. Hu Xiaoyue's cultivation was not low, she was only a first-level dancer but her physical cultivation foundation was equivalent to his fourth-level ninja cultivation.

  What's most important is that she has been in the mainland for three hundred years, with extraordinary experience and intelligence far surpassing the stupid undead soldiers. Moreover, the undead soldiers' bodies reek of a strong deathly aura, making them unpleasant to be around. Even Guo Fei dislikes spending too much time with them because the deathly aura makes him extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, Guo Fei spared no expense in equipping Hu Xiaoyue. She is not only someone who can speak for herself but also his reliable assistant.

  Two sets of rhinoceros leather armor, extending down to just above the knees, one larger than the other, cost Guo Fei three hundred and fifty gold coins, more expensive than bronze armor.

  "Master, after our demon clan transforms into human form, we can use weapons. I'd like to buy a piece of equipment." Hu Xiaoyue said with some embarrassment, knowing that gold coins were hard to come by.

  "Hmm, I didn't think of that. What kind of weapon do you want? A sword or a knife?" Guo Fei looked at the blades in the store.

  "It's not handy, is there a soft whip-like weapon or it would be better to give me a sturdy ribbon." Hu Xiaoyue frowned and looked at the store's shelves.

  The two of them took a look at the shelves and indeed there were none, only iron weapons like steel whips.

  "Oh, let's go!" Guo Fei suddenly thought of something and perhaps could make a ribbon-like weapon, so he said to Hu Xiaoyue.

  Every day's hard work in writing is just for everyone's approval, the requirements are not high, collecting and recommending it, Xiaoxi will be very touched.
