Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

An Yingji's sword transformed into a plum blossom, blooming in a riotous display, and the sword energy, like a storm, attacked the Corpse Demon General.

It's true that An Yingji is a prodigy nurtured by the Hehuan Sect, but this Corpse Demon General is no ordinary Corpse Demon either.

Although the Corpse Demon General was injured by Cao Meng and his combat power was greatly reduced, to about the same level as the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, his ferocity was not diminished at all.

The Corpse Demon General swept his bone spear, and the millennia-old corpse energy blocked An Yingji's attack.

Then it swung its bone spear and launched a series of attacks on An Yingji, as if it wanted to get back at An Yingji for all the losses it had suffered at Cao Meng's hands.

An Yingji had just entered the Nascent Soul stage and was still adapting to the combat power of the Nascent Soul stage, so she was severely suppressed by the Corpse Demon General's offensive.

Cao Meng watched this scene without making a move.

If Senior Sister Yuanzi really can't hold on any longer, he will take action!
"Senior Sister An, let me help you!"

Zi Rou'er took out a magical whip and headed to join the battle to help An Yingji.

Cao Meng felt that with Zi Rou'er's cultivation level of a mere Golden Core ant, she couldn't be of much help to An Yingji at all; she could only provide some assistance.

In fact, Zi Rou'er's cultivation level was not high for Cao Meng, but it was considered relatively high among the younger generation.

While An Yingji and Zi Rou'er were fighting monsters, Cao Meng was discussing business with Xing Lan, Lü Wang, and a few others.

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, we need a few of the Corpse Demon General's ghost fangs. Just tell us what price you want us to pay?"

Although An Yingji and Zi Rou'er were still fighting monsters, Xing Lan knew that the Corpse Demon General was already Cao Meng's for the taking.

Since the Corpse Demon General's Ghost Fang Soul Refining Technique is useful, Xing Lan wants to spend spirit stones to buy some.

"Fellow Daoist Xing Lan, what are you saying?"

"Since we're all 'righteous' cultivators, I'll give you a discount: 150,000 low-grade spirit stones and one Ghost Fang!"

Cao Meng had gotten information from his senior sister, Yuanzhong, that the Hehuan Sect's mission hall was offering 100,000 low-grade spirit stones to acquire one of the Corpse Demon General's Ghost Fangs.

He felt that since he had put in the effort and the other party wanted the product ready-made, it was reasonable for him to raise the price appropriately and earn a little commission for his hard work!

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, isn't this a bit expensive?"

Upon hearing Cao Meng's offer, Lü Wang's face immediately turned awkward.

You should know that the reward his older sister and master gave him was 20,000 low-grade spirit stones for a single Ghost Fang of a Corpse Demon General!

Cao Meng asked for 150,000 right off the bat, which is really too expensive.

Is it expensive? No, it's not expensive!

Cao Meng shook his head in denial, then said:

"The price has remained the same all these years. If you can't afford it, could it be that the sect's treatment of you is not good, or that you haven't worked hard all these years!"

Cao Meng thought that even a top-tier disciple of a demonic sect could afford 150,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After all, if you know how to commit murder, arson, robbery, or fraud, why would you lack spirit stones?
Lu Wang felt bitter; he believed he was the worst-performing disciple in the Netherworld Palace.

It's not that his cultivation level is weak among the direct disciples, but that his master is his older sister, and she is his biological sister from the same father and mother!

Who knew that her master was her older sister's source of suffering? Her spirit stones were strictly controlled.

I only have enough spirit stones. As for spending tens or hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones like others, that's impossible!

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, may I use a talisman to counter this?"

Lu Wang knew that if he couldn't produce the Ghost Fang of the Corpse Demon General when he returned this time, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp by his older sister.

Although Lü Wang didn't have many spirit stones, he did have quite a few life-saving talismans. Lü Wang thought he could exchange the talismans for a few ghost teeth.

"Fellow Daoist surnamed Lü, do you think I lack talismans?"

Cao Meng took out a fifth-tier talisman and played with it in his hand. He had the great fairy Xia Yulan who made talismans, so he didn't lack talismans at all.
What I need are spirit stones, not talismans.

As for becoming a talisman vendor, that would be a waste of time!

Lu Wang felt embarrassed when he saw the fifth-tier talisman in Cao Meng's hand. He felt that he, as a direct disciple of the Netherworld Palace, was doing terribly badly!

"Of course, if you don't have enough spirit stones, you can borrow some from someone else, or exchange your talismans for spirit stones!"

Cao Meng noticed that Lü Wang was struggling financially, so he offered a word of advice.

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, my sister has a close relationship with Sect Master Duanmu. I wonder if she could do me a favor?"

Seeing that Cao Meng was not giving him face, Lü Wang tried to curry favor with him.

Of course, the reason he dared to try and establish a connection was because his sister really knew Consort Duanmu, and they had a pretty good relationship.

Cao Meng kept group video calls on the whole way, laying the foundation for the future live streaming industry.

"Master, do you know his sister?"

Cao Meng tagged the female demon, warning Lü Wang that if he dared to try and establish connections, he would deal with him.

"What the hell is this?"

Nalan Youruo looked at the Inquiry Machine in Cao Meng's hand and became very curious.

"This is the most advanced technology of my Hehuan Sect, a spiritual artifact developed with the full strength of the sect. You can think of it as a super version of the sound transmission jade talisman!"

"..."

To expand on the industry of Wenxianji, Cao Meng patiently introduced it to Nalan Youruo and Xing Lan.

Although Wenxianji will eventually plunder the Eastern Dao Continent, it's always better to do it sooner rather than later!
Otherwise, once the second generation of the "Questioning Immortals" comes out, and the first generation hasn't even harvested enough "leeks" (a metaphor for exploiting new users), it won't be fun anymore.

Just as Cao Meng was introducing the Inquiry into the Immortal's Secret to Nalan Youruo and the others, the female demon in the group responded to Cao Meng's mention via video:

Who is his sister?

Duanmu Fei has cultivated for hundreds of years and knows countless people. Who would know who Lü Wang's sister is!
"Sect Leader Duanmu, my sister is Lü Qiling, the fourth palace master of the Netherworld Palace!"

Lu Wang quickly revealed his elder sister's name. The Netherworld Palace has nine palaces, and their ranking is determined by the strength of the palace masters.

Lu Wang's older sister, Lu Qiling, is the Fourth Palace Master, so you can imagine that she is quite powerful.

Compared to Lü Wang's older sister, Cao Meng was more curious about what Lü Wang's father's name was.
"I remember now, you're her younger brother who's over five hundred years old!"

"I remember your sister seemed to dislike you a lot, and even said she wanted to slap you to death!"

At this moment, the female demon Duanmu Fei finally remembered that she and Zi Xixue had once laughed at Lü Qiling for having a younger brother in her later years.

Because cultivators have long lifespans, it is common for brothers and sisters to be hundreds of years apart in age, and sometimes even thousands of years apart!

“You traitor, I have a decent relationship with his sister. Since that’s the case, I’ll sell him the Ghost Fang of the Corpse Demon General for 300,000 low-grade spirit stones each!”

When the female demon Duanmu Fei spoke, Lü Wang was immediately on the verge of tears.

Originally, without any connections, it would have only cost 150,000 low-grade spirit stones, but now the price has doubled.

Is this what you call a good relationship? This is clearly a feud!

"You traitor, this Corpse Demon General is a variant. Its demon fangs are extremely important. Don't sell a single demon fang for less than 300,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

"Try to capture them alive whenever possible!"

To prevent Cao Meng from being tricked, Consort Duanmu gave him a few special instructions.

Protruding!

Cao Meng truly hadn't expected the Corpse Demon General's fangs to be so valuable. The general's mouth was filled with dozens of densely packed fangs. Selling them at 300,000 low-grade spirit stones each would fetch at least ten million low-grade spirit stones.

The main point is that Cao Meng never expected the Hehuan Sect's mission hall to be so corrupt. The Ghost Fang, which costs 300,000 low-grade spirit stones each, was only recycled for 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Lü Wang: Your Hehuan Sect's mission hall is already good enough. My older sister only gave 20,000 low-grade spirit stones to recycle a single Ghost Fang. That's truly heartless!
No wonder that heartless old woman who exploits her own brother can't get married.

"Senior sister, quickly take Zi Rou'er and go somewhere else!"

Thinking that the Corpse Demon General was so valuable, Cao Meng decided to capture him alive and take him back to raise.

Once the other animal grows fangs, they pull them out and sell them, then continue raising it, and the cycle repeats.

Corpse Demon General: Cao Meng, although I am not human, you are a real dog!

Seeing that Cao Meng was about to make a move, An Yingji quickly retreated with Zi Rou'er.

She knew Cao Meng's offensive tactics all too well; most of them were area-of-effect attacks, and getting accidentally injured would be disastrous.

Cao Meng commanded the phantom of the three-legged golden crow to pounce on the Corpse Demon General, intending to severely injure him and capture him alive.

Just as the three-legged golden crow phantom's attack was about to land on the Corpse Demon General, an unexpected event occurred at this critical moment.

A blood-red coffin burst through the void, protecting the Corpse Demon General and catching Cao Meng's attack.

"Young friend Cao Meng, that's enough!"

At the same time, an old man with red hair also appeared out of the void. He waved his sleeve and terrifyingly dissipated the three-legged golden crow phantom that Cao Meng had manifested.

As soon as the red-haired old man appeared, Shishi quickly stood in front of Cao Meng to protect him, fearing that he would attack Cao Meng.

"The Corpse Yin Sect!"

As soon as the red-haired old man appeared, Cao Meng guessed that he came from the Corpse Yin Sect.

After all, he likes playing with coffins and his strength has reached the Void Refinement stage. Where else could he come from besides the Corpse Yin Sect?
"Senior, was this Corpse Demon General created by your Corpse Yin Sect?"

Because the red-haired old man was at the Void Refinement stage, Cao Meng was still a little more polite.

After all, even the old Living Buddha was wary of the Corpse Yin Sect, which is enough to show that the Corpse Yin Sect is not simple, at least it has the power to make those in the Tribulation Transcending stage wary.

When Cao Meng asked him, the red-haired old man nodded in acknowledgment.

That's right, the Corpse Demon General, this mutated corpse demon, is one of the many products created by the Corpse Yin Sect. The Corpse Yin Sect placed him in the Cloud Floating Ghost Kingdom, a place for raising corpses, to raise corpses.

The red-haired old man's task was to monitor the Corpse Demon General in case he was accidentally killed.

The red-haired old man had no choice but to reveal himself because Cao Meng wanted to capture the Corpse Demon General alive.

In fact, some high-ranking members of both the righteous and demonic sects suspected that the Corpse Demon General was related to the Corpse Yin Sect, which is why so many people came to hunt him down.

It was precisely because of the suspicion that it was related to the Corpse Yin Sect that the Nascent Soul experts from various sects did not come out, but instead sent their juniors.

Even if this Corpse Demon General is indeed related to the Corpse Yin Sect, the higher-ups of each sect can explain that it's just that the juniors are ignorant.

"Young friend Cao Meng, since you've come for the Corpse Demon General's ghost fangs, I'll give you these ghost fangs!"

Knowing Cao Meng and his men's intentions, the red-haired old man shattered one of the Corpse Demon General's fangs with a wave of his hand and threw it to Cao Meng.

The red-haired old man was willing to hand over the Corpse Demon General's Ghost Fang to Cao Meng entirely because Cao Meng was valued by Chi Liyu.

As for whether the other sects could decipher the secrets hidden within the Corpse Demon General's fangs, the red-haired elder was not worried at all.

It should be noted that the Corpse Yin Sect is not only the oldest sect in the Eastern Region Dao Continent, but also ranks among the top sects in the entire cultivation world.

The Corpse Refining Techniques controlled by the Corpse Yin Sect are terrifying, and beyond the comprehension of those insignificant sects.

Cao Meng counted the ghost teeth he had acquired; there were exactly seventy-two in total. Although he hadn't obtained the Corpse Demon General, selling these ghost teeth was a form of compensation.

In addition, the Yin Pearls dropped by those low-level corpse demons can also be sold for a considerable amount of low-grade spirit stones.

After the red-haired old man put the Corpse Demon General into the blood coffin, he said to Cao Meng:

"Young friend Cao Meng, there is indeed an opportunity in this abyss. If you are brave enough, you can try to explore it. Consider it compensation for me taking this Corpse Demon General away from you!"

There is indeed something in the abyss, and it is precisely because of this that the Corpse General led the lower-ranking Corpses to build their nest.

"What has Chi Liyu been up to lately? Why haven't we heard a thing?"

Cao Meng hadn't seen Chi Liyu, that cunning and wicked little girl, for a long time, and he wanted to know what kind of mischief she was up to.

After all, Chi Liyu is cunning and unethical. He hasn't made a move for so long, so he must be plotting something big. Cao Meng is a little afraid that he won't be able to withstand the opponent's big plan!
"Young friend Cao Meng, the Venerable One's affairs are not for this old man to concern himself with!"

After the red-haired old man finished speaking, he put away the blood coffin containing the Corpse Demon General and escaped through the void.

"Don't go! I still have something to ask you!"

Seeing that the other party had fled, Cao Meng hurriedly shouted, for he hadn't even asked about the special corpse poison he needed yet!

Now that the Void Refinement stage cultivator from the Corpse Yin Sect has run away, it means I have to go to the Corpse Yin Sect to ask him questions.

No, who knows, this Yunfu Ghost Kingdom might also have something like the Corpse Demon General, created by the Corpse Yin Sect. With powerful members of the Corpse Yin Sect secretly protecting it, I might still encounter people from the Corpse Yin Sect.

The first thing I'll do when I encounter someone from the Corpse Yin Sect again is to ask about their specially made corpse poison.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Nalan Youruo coughed, then took out a storage ring and approached Cao Meng, saying:
"Cao Meng, here are three million low-grade spirit stones. Give me ten Ghost Fangs!"

Nalan Youruo did not haggle at all. Duanmu Fei had told Wenxianji that the lowest price was 300,000 low-grade spirit stones, so she calculated it based on that price.

She now only hoped to get ten of the Corpse Demon General's Ghost Fangs before Cao Meng could react.

"Wait!"

Cao Meng did not immediately accept the storage ring offered by Nalan Youruo, but instead smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist Nalan, the price of 300,000 low-grade spirit stones was set just now. The situation has changed, and prices have gone up!"

Cao Meng isn't stupid; he'll naturally raise prices when the time is right.

If he doesn't raise prices now, he'll be a fool.

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, how could you suddenly raise the price?"

"How can you, the number one prodigy of the Hehuan Sect, do this?"

Nalan Youruo then resorted to a subtle tactic, linking arms with Cao Meng and dribbling towards him.

"Vixen!"

An Yingji was very dissatisfied with Cao Meng's title as the number one genius of the Hehuan Sect, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only vent her anger on Nalan Youruo.

Hongqi: Your Highness, the great fox princess Hongqi, I have been offended.

Seeing that his sworn sister was jealous, Cao Meng quickly shook off the vixen Nalan Youruo and solemnly said:

"If this Corpse Demon General is just a naturally born mutant, then 300,000 low-grade spirit stones for one Ghost Fang is no problem."

"But this Corpse Demon General was created by the Corpse Yin Sect, and they even sent a Void Refinement stage ancestor to guard it, which shows that this Corpse Demon General has a great secret."

"The fact that a Void Refinement stage ancestor is willing to guard this secret means that its value is definitely not low, and it is definitely no less than the value of a Void Refinement stage cultivator."

"Therefore, this Ghost Fang is priced at 600,000 low-grade spirit stones each. Of course, if you can't afford it, then forget it; I'll find a buyer!" (End of Chapter)
