Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 154: Surviving a Disaster and Spring Coming
"Senior Xiang, do we have any misunderstanding?"

Dou Eqing and Wu Juanliu met up and asked where Xiang Piao came from.

He wanted to try to trick people through negotiation, or at worst, he could take out a spiritual nourishing pill to avoid disaster.

"Isn't it too late to say this now?"

Xiang Nianlai attacked and mocked at the same time.

Although he was a little surprised that Dou Eqing seemed to know him, he didn't take it to heart.

Although Huang Guo collected intelligence on Dou Eqing, he knew that he was not in Hezong.

Therefore, not much information about Dou Eqing was told to the Eastern Expedition Army, and Xiang Dianlai had never heard of the existence of Dou Eqing.

Otherwise, not to mention the affairs of Guo Zigui and the others, just based on his identity as the leader of the Hezong clan, Xiang Nong would have to deal with him.

"No, as the saying goes, there's no friendship without fighting. You must have misunderstood us."

Dou Eqing said with a confused expression, as if this battle should not have happened.

"Then surrender yourself. I'll investigate thoroughly. If it really has nothing to do with you two, I'll let you go."

Xiang Luanlai saw his own shadow in Dou Eqing and felt that Dou Eqing was a talented person with great potential.

After this battle, he developed a sense of cherishing talent.

However, when Dou Eqing heard what he said, he felt that the other party was trying to take advantage of his own tricks.

"Then I'll tell you the truth. I obtained a fifth-grade, top-grade Nourishing Spirit Pill in the Cultivation Realm, but was targeted by five swarms of people. I had no choice but to flee from the Cultivation Realm to the Earth Realm. The Nourishing Spirit Pill was too tempting for the five swarms, and they chased me from the Cultivation Realm to the Earth Realm.

On the way, I happened to meet several senior gods from the Huang Kingdom. I had no choice but to use the Yang Shen Pill to ask them to help me escape the pursuit of the Five Scattered People.

Dou Eqing quickly made up a story and exaggerated the strength of the Five Scattered People.

"and after?"

After hearing what he said, Xiang Dianlai's attack slowed down.

Obviously, he is more concerned about the truth of the matter.

"The Huang Kingdom's seniors were no match for the Five Wanderers and could only flee while seeking help. In order to keep the Spirit Nourishing Pill, they ultimately engaged in a desperate struggle with the Five Wanderers.

Seeing how fierce the battle was, we left first to save our lives and did not see the final outcome.

However, after we left for a while, we sensed that a cultivator had self-destructed."

Dou Eqing said with regret.

"Which direction are they in?"

When Xiang Luan heard about the explosion, he quickly asked Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing immediately pointed in the direction where Guo Zigui had self-destructed.

"Come with me and take a look at the place where the explosion took place. If I can prove that you are not lying, I will let you go."

Xiang Nianlai was obviously eager to save people and did not intend to continue to entangle with Dou Eqing and others.

Dou Eqing thought:
"Fortunately, the self-explosion incident is true, and they are all dead and have no evidence to prove it."

He thought this as he led the way.

"Which faction are you from? You have quite a talent for cultivation."

On the way, Xiang Piao came and casually asked Dou Eqing.

"I was originally a disciple of the Demon Hunter Sect, but was later assigned to take charge of a sect that had just been promoted to the third level. This sect was called the Hehuan Sect, and I reluctantly became the Sect Master."

"No wonder. I think you have some of the qualities a leader should have."

……

After walking for twenty minutes, the group arrived at the place where Guo Zigui blew himself up.

Then, Dou Eqing took the initiative to take Xiang Tun to see several major battle sites.

"Perhaps the elders from Huang Country will return to Huang Country and use Huang Country's great formation to fight the enemy."

Dou Eqing had not found any trace of Guo Zigui and his companions, so he planned to leave and said this on purpose.

"Well, you can go now. But I have to warn you, if things are different from what you said, I will find you and let you know what it feels like to be unable to live even though you want to die!"

Xiang Nianlai said to Dou Eqing fiercely.

"Farewell!"

Dou Eqing did not respond to his warning and went straight towards the market for independent cultivators.

After leaving Xiang Tunlai's spiritual sense range, he immediately changed direction and went to Hezong, and asked Wu Juanliu to return to the Sanxiu Market to bring people to support Hezong.

Guo Zigui and his companions were indeed dead and could not provide any evidence, but other cultivators in the Huang Kingdom knew that Dou Eqing appeared on the ascension platform.

Therefore, when Xiang Yu went back and forth to the State of Huang, Dou Eqing could no longer hide.

If Dou Eqing returns to the independent cultivator market, Xiang Nian will not be able to find him to settle accounts with, so he will definitely mobilize all the cultivators of the Huang Kingdom to attack the Hezong.

Now there is the Caihua Pavilion in the world of cultivation, the Hezong in the earth world, and you can also borrow power from the independent cultivators in the market.

He felt that he had to manage the power in his hands, as it would definitely be useful in the future.

Otherwise, Dou Eqing would not want to provoke either Xiang Yulai or his Eastern Expedition Army.

On the one hand, Xiang Yu himself was very powerful; on the other hand, the Eastern Expedition Army was well-deserved of its reputation.

Whether it is the combat power of a single cultivator or the strength of the entire force, they are not easy to provoke.

Just as Dou Eqing expected, Xiang Nianlai found out that Dou Eqing had completely deceived him. He felt like a fool in Dou Eqing's eyes, and the fire of anger was about to overflow from his chest.

Xiang Nonglai forced the Huang Kingdom to mobilize all the cultivators above the Jindan level to attack Hezong.

However, at this time Dou E had returned to Hezong early in the morning.

"I can recruit a group of independent cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage to hold off the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Hehuang Kingdom for a while. However, if this war continues for a long time, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our Hezong."

Dou Eqing spoke frankly to Guo Jia.

It just didn’t say that this group of casual cultivators came from the casual cultivator market.

He couldn't let Hezong rely too much on the market for independent cultivators. Hezong was in the growth stage now and should strengthen itself.

"There's no need to fight the Eastern Expedition Army. Fortunately, you lured the Eastern Expedition Army's commander away, otherwise the Eastern Expedition Army would have captured our mountain gate."

Guo Jia looked like he had everything under control, which made Dou Eqin very curious about what solution he had come up with to deal with the Eastern Expedition Army.

"Why is this? What leverage do we have to force the Eastern Expedition Army to withdraw unconditionally?"

"I'm just looking for someone to lean on. I want to confess my crime to Master, and I made the decision without even asking for his permission."

"That's fine. You can make the decision on the clan merger. I have complete confidence in you. Which force have you found to support you?"

"Mountain Worship Cult."

"The Mountain Worship Cult of Kunshan?"

"Yes, it's the Baishan Sect on Kunshan Mountain. Legend has it that the Baishan Sect is a quasi-sixth-level force. It wouldn't be a loss of face for us to seek support from the Baishan Sect."

"How did you get in touch with the Baishan Cult?"

Dou Eqing was very curious. If it was about bringing in the Demon Hunting Sect to scare the Eastern Expedition Army, he believed that Guo Jia had a way.

After all, Guo Jia passed the Demon Hunting Sect's elite disciple trial with him, so he was also a disciple of the Demon Hunting Sect, and a nominal inner disciple.

"The demon goblin I possessed had some connection with a senior from the Baishan Sect. This connection is how I got in touch with the Baishan Sect."

As Guo Jia spoke, he took out the tokens of the Demon Xiao and the senior from the Baishan Sect and showed them to Dou Qing.

This is a jade sculpture of a little demon goblin.

Dou Eqing felt that the jade carving was a magic weapon, but he couldn't tell what kind of magic weapon it was.

"That's not right. If the demon Xiao could connect with the Mountain Worship Sect, how could it have been suppressed by a fourth-tier force?"

"I learned from some of the demon golem's memories that it was destined to face this calamity, and that's why the senior who taught it didn't take action."

Although Dou Eqing was a little curious about the senior of the Baishan Sect that Guo Jia mentioned, he did not ask any further questions.

"Could it be that senior who came to the rescue this time?"

"It should be. He wants to come and see me."

"Do you know what level of cultivation the other party has?"

Dou Eqing considered whether to step aside.

"From the memory of the demon goblin, the other party is at least a powerful person in the Refinement Realm."

"The lowest level of cultivation is Void Refinement! This means the sect should be able to easily escape this crisis."

After some thought, Dou Eqing decided to leave Hezong and not meet this senior from Baishan Sect.

After all, he still has many secrets, and the other party is too strong, and he is not sure whether he will be interested in him.

So, after saying goodbye to Guo Jia, he came quietly and left secretly.

The other cultivators of the Hezong sect didn't notice Dou Eqing, but Sheng Cailing, who had just returned to the Hezong sect, encountered him by chance. Sheng Cailing was also a disciple of the Judgment Hall, and learned from the Judgment Hall about the relationship between the Sanxiu Fangshi and Dou Eqing.

"I just achieved the Spiritual Transformation breakthrough, so staying in the sect to cultivate won't be very helpful. How about I join your independent cultivator market to do missions?"

Sheng Cailing stopped Dou Eqing and asked.

"Do you know the San Xiu Market?"

Dou Eqing asked suspiciously, as if his secret had been discovered.

"The secrets you have with the San Xiu Fang City are nothing, but the secret of your ability to trigger the beast tide has attracted the interest of many forces."

Sheng Cailing remembered something from the casual cultivator market and intentionally reminded Dou Eqing.

His words shocked Dou Eqing, as he had not found a way to deal with the cleanup of the beast tide.

"It was by chance that I was able to use the power of the beast tide to save myself."

He explained dryly.

"Hehe, I'm not interested in knowing your secrets, but I think strength is king. It doesn't matter whether it's a secret or not. As long as no one dares to pry, there will be no secrets.

You should go back to the San Xiu Market now. I'll go with you. I've just broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, so my ability to survive in the Gourd Confinement isn't very strong yet."

Sheng Cailing followed Dou Eqing to the market for casual cultivators.

Dou Eqing was thinking about the independent cultivators' market and the last beast tide along the way.

These two things are related.

There were very few witnesses to the final beast tide, and no one knows the specific circumstances.

From this perspective, the outside world's view of the relationship between Dou Eqing and the Sanxiu Market is that he used the beast tide to destroy the forces that once operated the Sanxiu Market, and then rebuilt the Sanxiu Market.

He saw through this relationship and thought of covering up the real relationship by revealing his relationship with the Sanxiu Market.

Dou Eqing wanted the outside world to see that he was connected with the Sanxiu Market through his romantic luck with Wu Juanliu.

The reason why the Sanxiu Market was destroyed before was due to Wu Juanliu's internal rebellion, or the result of a power grab.

So, he decided to sacrifice his body, since he and Wu Juanliu had already broken through the most intimate relationship.

The last dual cultivation was only halfway done, so let’s just consider it as making up for it.

Dou Eqing came to the market for casual cultivators and took the initiative to express his love to Wu Juanliu in public, and then shamelessly carried out the "making a baby" activity.

When Wu Juanliu was nourished by his essence and became more charming than before, and appeared in the eyes of the public again, the romantic affair between Dou Eqing and Wu Juanliu became widely known.

In this way, Dou Eqing's goal was achieved.

However, when everyone spread the news of his romantic affairs, his already powerful dual cultivation ability continued to be exaggerated. In addition, he had unique facial features, and soon the market for casual cultivators welcomed many female cultivators of various kinds.

The purpose of these female cultivators coming to practice as independent cultivators is almost the same, they all come to seek Dou Eqing.

There is no doubt that the powerful dual cultivation ability is attractive to female practitioners in the magic path.

On the one hand, because female cultivators have lost their sense of security in the demonic world, they always feel that one day they will become the cauldron of a stronger person.

If they do not have a strong background, and unless they find a Taoist partner that they are satisfied with and has strong strength, they will not keep their pure Yin and Yuan Yin.

Even if I don’t keep it, I won’t give it away casually.

Some female cultivators use her to exchange for cultivation resources, while more female cultivators give her to themselves for a satisfying fleeting relationship.

For this satisfying short-lived relationship, Dou Eqing is obviously the best choice.

On the other hand, being conquered by Dou Eqing's powerful dual cultivation skills will also improve one's own dual cultivation skills.

When a female cultivator's dual cultivation strength is raised to a certain level, a male cultivator with insufficient dual cultivation strength will find it difficult to suppress her even if he is stronger than her in combat.

This will cut off the possibility of becoming a plaything or cauldron of a powerful person.

These two reasons accelerated the recovery of the market for independent cultivators because of Dou Eqing's romantic affair.

As more female cultivators gather, they will naturally attract more male cultivators.

With more cultivators, the reputation of the free cultivator market spread more widely, and the previous beast tide incident was gradually covered up, which attracted more cultivators to come and brought more treasures to trade.

The arrival of so many women also caused many incidents, including Zuo Tang and Zuo Zong who were practicing "Scent of a Woman".

As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, so naturally there are beautiful women who throw themselves into the arms of Zuo Zong and his friend.

This result made Zuo Zong and Zuo Tang think that it was an ability gained from practicing the secret method of "Smell a Woman's Scent".

Dou Eqing thus gained great convenience from Zuo Tang and others.

Another episode that happened to him was that Wu Juanliu became obsessed with practicing dual cultivation with him, and was also struggling to achieve the goal of breaking through the refining void.

However, Dou Eqing was unwilling to indulge in the boundless sea of ​​wizard desires and wanted to hunt down demon cultivators to obtain fifth-level merit.

However, Wu Juanliu was obsessed with Ji Le, so how could she let him go?

Dou Eqing was helpless and had to reveal his experience of using his Pure Yang Taoist body to refine elixirs in the furnace, and finally helping Hua Bubai break through to the God Transformation Realm.

His original purpose was just to divert Wu Juanliu's attention and let Wu Juanliu understand that cultivation is not easy. If he wants to break through the bottleneck of refining emptiness, he should find a female cultivator with a pure yin body.

In Dou Eqing's opinion, it was not easy to find a few female cultivators with pure yin bodies in the Nascent Soul stage, and it should be even more difficult to raise their realm to the Spirit Transformation stage.

He also told Wu Juanliu that to refine the sixth-level Lust Demon Pill, at least twelve female cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm with pure Yin bodies were needed.

This would increase the difficulty of achieving the goal, and in order to achieve this condition, Wu Juanliu would definitely be entangled and would have no time to keep an eye on him.

Unexpectedly, the current market for independent cultivators has attracted so many female cultivators, including many in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Wu Juanliu quickly found nine female cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, all of whom had pure Yin bodies.

Although it was still not enough for the twelve people Dou Eqing had mentioned, Wu Juanliu, at the instigation of these twelve female cultivators, wanted to try out the effect in advance. If it didn't work, she would find twelve more pure yin bodies in the future.

It’s just that there are so many people and so many ideas. Some of the female cultivators said that they can only believe 70% of what men say.

Dou Eqing's statement that he needed twelve people might have been an exaggeration.

From this point of view, Wu Juanliu did not find more pure yin bodies for the time being, so she believed that nine people were enough to help her refine the Desire Demon Pill to break through the bottleneck.

Therefore, Dou Eqing was stopped by Wu Juanliu and twelve other female cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm less than eighty miles away from the market for independent cultivators.

Seeing how large a force they were making, he decided to break out and escape.

Because what he said was just an excuse, he didn't really want to refine the sixth-level Lust Demon Pill for Wu Juanliu.

This is a sixth-level elixir. The alchemist must be at least at the sixth level.

If you don't reach the corresponding alchemy level, it is easy to explode the furnace if you forcibly refine high-level pills.

But the furnace that Dou Eqing used to refine the sixth-level Desire Demon Pill was his body, so exploding the furnace was equivalent to exploding his Taoist body.

Even though his method of refining medicine is rather special, it might not cause the furnace to explode.

However, failure in refining the elixir may also have a negative impact on his Taoist body.

Although Dou Eqing could gain great benefits from refining the Desire Demon Pill in the process, he was destined to suffer the backlash of "beauty is a disaster" by suddenly developing an intimate causal relationship with such a female cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Dou Eqing only now realized that he had shot himself in the foot.

It’s not too late to mend the fold before the sheep are lost.

However, when he tried to break through, he was pounced on by a strong female cultivator and hugged around the waist.

What's worse, some of them caught up with him, touched him and kissed him passionately.

He hurriedly said to Wu Juanliu:

"What's going on? Didn't I say we needed twelve people?"

"Sisters say men's mouths are full of lies. The fact that you secretly left the San Xiu Fang Market speaks volumes. I think nine people are enough."

Wu Juanliu came over and attacked him, going straight to the point and trying to hit his weak spot.

"Fairy Wu, wait a minute! There's one more thing I forgot to mention. Regarding the Desire Demon Pill, I'm only acting as a furnace, not an alchemist. Therefore, we're still in need of an alchemist.

When we use the Dao body as a furnace to refine the elixir, the alchemist must also participate in our dual cultivation process. Otherwise, the refining may fail.

You don't have enough people to start with, and without this sixth-rank alchemist, you're doomed to fail. Why don't you keep looking for more? Perhaps if you have enough people, you can find an alchemist."

Seeing this, Dou Eqing quickly explained.

"Don't worry about that, Dou Lang. I'm a sixth-rank alchemist and I know the Desire Pill. Actually, the Desire Pill's real name is the Extreme Desire Pill, and it can be refined with a pure Yin body composed of five elements.

Now there are thirteen of us in total. We don’t need to refine it into the Extreme Desire Pill, we just need to make the pill liquid, and each of us can benefit from it.

If we cooperate well, we can continue to cultivate in this way until we break through the bottleneck of the last level of Refining Void."

Among the thirteen people, the most beautiful and holy-looking female cultivator stepped forward to respond to Dou Eqing's words.

She called out Dou Lang just after meeting Dou Eqing, which was somewhat inconsistent with her holy image. It was obvious that she was attracted to Dou Eqing, or fell in love with him at first sight.

This lady came to the market of casual cultivators by chance. She was just curious about Wu Juanliu's affairs and came to watch the fun.

The result of her coming to watch the fun was that Dou Eqing was in trouble.

Dou Eqing wants to run away but can't, and he is definitely no match for the thirteen people.
