Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 109 Old He's New Life
"Is this the soul core of a demon?"

Du Bingyan looked at the gray-black crystal in her hand with a complicated expression.

In the candlelight, a pretty face was flushed, her eyes filled with entanglement, shyness, fear, and apprehension.

She was, after all, a young woman who had lived a solitary life in the mountains since childhood and had never had any experience (in a conscious state), so she was filled with unease.

What's more, she still had a thorn in her heart.

The White Lotus Sect cult member who took her virginity has yet to be found!

If it were discovered during the joint cultivation that she was not a virgin, she would probably be ridiculed by him.

Her breath hitched, she looked up at Liu Sheng, and subconsciously bit her lower lip.

Instinctively, she didn't want to be looked down upon by Liu Sheng.

Even ants struggle to survive, and she, too, wanted to live.

That's it. After this, I will return to the mountain, shave my head, and become a nun, spending my days in the ancient temple with only the green lamp, never venturing into the world again, and having no more ties with him.

The dew is heavy, and the morning sun is about to set.

Having made up her mind, Du Bingyan carefully put away the soul core, remained silent for a moment, and then said softly:

"When does it start?"

“I have prepared a secluded cave in the mountains.”

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, feeling that the beautiful captain in front of him was somewhat different.

But I just can't quite put my finger on what's different.

Du Bingyan lowered her head, twisting her fingers together, and whispered:

"I want to drink."

"I'll go to Donglailou later and buy a few jars of Immortal's Wine."

Liu Sheng expressed his understanding, saying that women are all good at deceiving themselves.

However, the secret method recorded on the scroll states that one should not be disturbed during joint practice, otherwise it is easy to suffer from qi deviation and demonic possession.

Moreover, the duration is uncertain; minor injuries may take one or two hours, while serious injuries may take two or three days.

This woman was misled by Xie Bao and used her mind to refine the array flags. When the array broke, her mind was severely injured. If her master hadn't intervened, she would have died that very night.

This treatment will take at least two or three days.

I need to tell Grandma, Yu Niang, and Lao He in advance so they won't worry.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Du Bingyan nodded in agreement and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

A short while later, Liu Sheng returned to his own courtyard.

His previous battle with demons and ghosts affected the entire city, but Caiyuan Lane, being close to the city wall and far from the inner city, was not significantly impacted.

Even so, the original old courtyard was covered with broken tiles and dust, and many new cracks appeared at the base of the walls.

Old He stood guard in the courtyard, his one eye scanning left and right with extreme vigilance.

The old man had crippled hands, so he tied the sword to his arms with a rope. His granddaughter was also dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with her hair tied up, and she carried a long sword.

"Old He!"

Liu Sheng's appearance startled Old He and his grandson.

After listening to his brief explanation, both the grandfather and grandson fell silent.

Although it was only a few words, a sense of bloodshed and carnage rushed towards us.

He Qiang, in particular, was a shrewd old man. After listening to just a few words, he understood Liu Sheng's current predicament.

But unfortunately, he is old and frail and can't help, so he can't help but sigh.

"It's alright, I have my own plans. It won't be long before I can show myself openly and honestly."

Liu Sheng waved his hand dismissively, then took out the "White Lotus Transformation Talisman" and gestured for Lao He to stand still.

"I promised you, stand still and don't move!"

"This is……"

Old He was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and trembled with excitement.

"White Lotus Transformation Talisman".

Liu Sheng nodded, his qi and blood surging, and the crimson talisman in his hand emitted a spiritual light, transforming into sweet rain that fell on Old He.

Old He's whole body trembled violently, as if a thousand insects were gnawing at him, and he groaned repeatedly in his throat.

As the spiritual light and sweet dew seeped in, his wounds burst open and bled profusely, turning his body into a bloody mess.

The granulation tissue grows like an earthworm wriggling, and new bones emerge, making a "crackling" sound.

In less than fifteen minutes, his missing limbs had all grown back.

His eyes, wrists, fingers, and the broken ribs in his chest and abdomen have all fully recovered. He's in excellent condition!
"I……"

Old He rubbed his newly grown eyes, then hooked his newly grown fingers, his old eyes reddening, and he almost knelt down to Liu Sheng.

Finally, he's not disabled anymore!
Only those who have truly lost something truly understand the preciousness of being healthy.

Calling them "second parents" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Back then, he only recommended Liu Sheng because he saw that Liu Sheng was talented and honest, and out of love for talent, he offered his advice.

Unexpectedly, good deeds have yielded good results. In less than a month, I was completely cured and became a normal person again!

"Brother Liu, I..."

He Yue'e then realized what was happening, her eyes reddening, too excited to say anything.

Over the years, she had relied on her grandfather for support and was very filial. After Old He was seriously injured by the Xu family, she wished she could take his place, but was helpless.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, my grandfather had fully recovered!

It's a miracle!

She didn't know how to thank Liu Sheng.

"Don't be shy with me, teach Yu Niang and Er Ya swordsmanship properly."

Liu Sheng chuckled, patted her head, and walked towards the main room where the firelight had been lit.

The He family, grandfather and grandson, remained on the spot, embracing and weeping.

Inside the house, Grandma and her daughter Yu Niang, hearing the commotion, sat together and waited.

They were all very excited to see Liu Sheng.

During the day, news of the complete annihilation of all eight squads of the Demon Suppression Division spread throughout the city, causing a great stir.

In the afternoon, after learning the news, the old woman fainted on the spot.

Yu Niang's eyes were swollen from crying, her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to do.

For their small family, if something happened to Liu Sheng, it would be like the sky falling and the earth collapsing, ruining their future and causing them great anxiety.

Upon seeing Liu Sheng, who was unharmed, they were overjoyed.

"This old woman only knows our precious grandson; good fortune always favors the virtuous!"

The old woman wiped away her tears, pulled Liu Sheng along, and tears streamed down her face.

"It must be your grandfather, and your parents are watching over you from the afterlife..."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"

Yu Niang hugged Liu Sheng's other arm and burst into tears.

She once thought she was a "husband-killer" and felt extremely guilty.

The past month or so spent with Sheng-ge'er has been the happiest and most joyful time of her life.

It felt like a dream.

"Ow~"

The little tiger cub had grown a bit more in just a few days. It clung tightly to Liu Sheng's right leg, barking and swishing its tail.

"hiss~"

The five strange snakes, including Xiao Huang and Xiao Qing, also appeared, surrounding Liu Sheng, flicking their tongues and making noises, showing off their merits in guarding the house.

"You are all very good!"

Liu Sheng patted each of them on the head and gave them some pills before finally dispersing the group of tigers and snakes.

He didn't mention his entanglement with Xie Bao, only saying that Shangguan was injured and he would have to protect him for several days, telling Grandma and Yu Niang not to worry.

Afterwards, he handed over several bottles of the captured pills to Old He, urging him to recover his cultivation as soon as possible.

This old fellow was already a master of physical strength and bone techniques more than a decade ago; he should not be underestimated.

In fact, if his six disabled old men were loyal and reliable, he wouldn't mind using the "White Lotus Rebirth Talisman" to completely cure them.

An hour later.

Liu Sheng bid farewell to his reluctant family members and the He family, and left under cover of night.

First, go to Donglai Tower, take five jars of Immortal's Intoxication, leave two hundred taels of silver notes, then return, take Du Bingyan, and head straight for Black Wind Mountain.

These "Eighteen Forms of the Profound Mystery" can be used through combined cultivation to unblock the yin and yang energies, refine the soul core of demons and ghosts, and repair injuries to the soul.

Is it really that amazing?

I don't believe it!

Unless, try...
