A life of idleness in the world of demons

Chapter 27, Section 27: Instant Refinement
After winding through a mountain pass and rounding a canyon, Chou Nu slowed his pace and said, "Qingfeng, we've entered the demon realm. Be careful."

Ning Xuan nodded.

Ugly Slave continued, "The demonic energy in the Demon Realm is chaotic and everywhere. I cannot pinpoint the location of demons through demonic energy. You are the one who needs to sense and guard against everything."

Ning Xuan nodded again.

He also sensed the eeriness of the place.

Even though the morning light had just risen, it still felt chilly when it touched my skin.

As the two walked forward, the chill grew stronger, and wisps of mountain miasma, like ghosts with long tails, slowly swept by, indicating that the demonic aura here was gradually intensifying.

How could a place where three demon lairs are crammed together not be filled with demonic energy?

Suddenly, Ning Xuan stopped and quickly turned around to look at a shady spot under a tree.

Ugly Slave also stopped standing.

Ning Xuan raised his hand to suppress the noise, then suddenly took a step forward, his figure flashing like the wind towards the shade of the tree, shouting, "Demon, reveal yourself!"

brush!
The strike missed its mark.

Only a few fallen leaves remained.

Ning Xuan stood under the leaves, tilted his head to look at his elder brother, and said, "Celestial Master, you've misperceived. There are no demons here."

Ugly Slave lowered his guard and smiled, saying, "Don't be nervous."

Ning Xuan sheathed his sword, rested the ten-foot-long beast-slaying blade on his shoulders, and casually draped his hands over his shoulders, saying, "Don't be nervous."

Seeing his reaction, Chou Nu assumed that the young man was just being competitive and had acted rashly, feeling he had lost face. So he pretended to be relaxed to save face. He continued, "The first time I saw a demon, I was so scared that I peed my pants. The urine dripped down my trouser leg, and my master pointed at me and laughed. Qingfeng, you are much better than me."

Ning Xuan looked at his elder brother who was comforting him and suddenly said, "Could it be that I'm still perceiving things wrong?"

Ugly Slave said, "Demons and monsters have abundant blood and energy; the stronger they are, the more abundant their blood and energy."

Celestial masters cannot sense this vital energy, but martial artists can.

There is a cow, a sheep, and a monkey on this mountain. The monkey can conceal its tracks, the sheep can teleport, and the cow can summon gusts of cold wind, but the specific details can only be known after fighting.

The monkey poses the greatest threat to us. You only need to sense if any powerful energy is approaching; if so, shout to let me know.

Ning Xuan nodded and said, "I understand."

As the three words fell, he took a deep breath, clearly inhaling his elder brother's scent.

He was startled and pretended to have discovered a demon, but it was just a test. In fact, he had already summoned the Heavenly Demon Talisman when he ran to the shade of the tree.

He exuded demonic energy, but it was mixed with the demonic realm, so even though he was right next to Chou Nu, Chou Nu did not notice that there was a demon beside him.

Of course, if the ugly slave reveals the truth, it's the work of the demon hiding under the tree, and he can simply use his powers to retrieve the Heavenly Demon Scroll.

'Within the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Demon Scroll may be summoned as needed.'

Ning Xuan silently noted this down.

Then, sensing his current physique of 4.7 and the "Yanhe" he had comprehended, he wondered if the leader of the ghostly monkeys could withstand his attack.

After he investigated the origins of the Ghostly Monkey's sorcery, the next step was to refine it instantly.

At this moment, he felt relaxed.

He loves taking on challenges beyond his level.

His physique is 4.7, while the Ghostly Monkey leader's physique is 3.5; this is considered a leap in physique.

Manfeng Mountain, deep in the mountains, behind a place where vines hang down.

A thick black fog hung in the air, a foul wind blew, and faint screams and wails could be heard from within.

Several oil lamps hung in the cave passage, but it was unclear what kind of oil they used.

As the dim light deepened, a stone hall was revealed inside. The throne in the center of the hall was extremely luxurious, made of animal hide inlaid with gold, jewels and gemstones. On both sides were four smaller stone chairs, one of which was empty, while the other three were occupied by a demon.

Ox head, sheep head, monkey head
On the large table in the hall, there were some gnawed remains of limbs, but they looked like those of wild animals, not humans.

In front of the hall, several little demons were fighting over a leg, their mouths turning bloody from biting.

The three demon leaders were talking as they looked at the empty seat in the center.

The sheep demon smacked its lips, drooling as it rolled around in its mouth, then sighed and said, "We eat these worthless wild beasts every day, while the real delicacies are locked up in the back mountains and can't be touched."

Niu Tou patted the stone railing and said in a deep voice, "Once that lord arrives, we can begin the banquet. If that lord enjoys the meal, he might even recite some scriptures for us to hear, or impart a scripture to us for enlightenment. At that time, we too can attain enlightenment and take another step forward."

As it spoke, it turned to the monkey demon beside it and asked, "Was that whole bear demon that crashed into the mountain really wiped out?"

The monkey demon said, "My trusted subordinate went there personally and saw it clearly. That guy killed both the Great King and the Second King of the Bear Demon. He must be a tough nut to crack."

Niu Tou said, "I had heard about the mountain bear that crashed into Black Wind Mountain before, but I didn't expect it to be such a coward. It's good that it was slaughtered, so it won't be used to divide up the food at the banquet."

As the three demons were chatting, the wall lamps on both sides of the passageway suddenly began to sway and shake.

A little monkey demon rushed in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a powerful demonic aura is coming from afar."

The bull demon was taken aback and asked, "How strong?"

The little monkey demon said, "We are stronger than the kings." In the demon realm, the sense of smell of demons is extremely keen, especially that of their clans, which can spread out "aura nets" so that they can detect any foreign demons that invade in the first place.

The bull demon leader said, "Brothers, please sit down while I go and take a look."

Having said that, it snorted, raised its hand and grabbed, and incense smoke billowed from its left hand, quickly condensing into a gray banner. It looked at the banner and said, "If it is willing to join us, that would be best. If not, my Yin Wind Banner is not to be trifled with."

Immediately, it picked up a large, ghost-headed sword, held the sword in one hand and the banner in the other, and strode out.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, it stood on a high ground and gazed into the distance.

Although it hadn't seen it yet, it could already sense the approach of that powerful demonic aura.

However, what puzzled it was that there was also a human scent next to this demonic aura.

Just as it was wondering, it finally saw two figures walking towards it in the canyon.

A Taoist priest in purple robes and a ghost-faced man, and a martial artist in tight-fitting clothes and a ghost-faced man with a sword at his shoulder.

Just as it saw the two people, they seemed to notice it as well.

The two people vanished in the next instant.

The bull demon leader was taken aback, but it reacted quickly, hurriedly sticking the Yin Wind Banner in its hand into the ground, then looking left and right, trying to find the other party's location so that it could use the treasure's power.

Just then, it suddenly felt the demonic aura appear abruptly behind it.

It waved its hand.

Suddenly, a chilling wind swept through, like tiny knives flying backward.

The Yin Wind Banner suddenly billowed, and with this billow, the Yin Wind unleashed by the bull demon suddenly intensified, causing sand and stones to fly up in an instant, and even stones the size of a human head were lifted into the air.

The eerie wind, capable of tearing flesh apart like a thousand cuts, is extremely deadly to the Taoist priests here; once unleashed, they are unable to move forward.

If they were to perform their skills in an open space, the Taoist priests could only hope that their young disciples could withstand the attack; otherwise, they might die before they could even use their abilities.

If the Yin Wind Banner is added, it will be even more deadly.

Immediately, the bull demon leader turned around.

But sure enough, the two people were behind it.

The masked warrior stood in front of the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest closed his eyes and raised his hand.

A large golden seal appeared in mid-air and in his hand at some unknown time.

With a loud thud, the large seal was violently thrown out.

The bull demon leader tried to dodge, but found himself as if he were under a spell. He wanted to run but couldn't, and his limbs were completely out of his control. He was hit on the spot by the golden seal.

It felt dizzy and cried out in pain before collapsing to the ground.

This time, it felt the nightmare even worse.

It's like you can see everything, but it's as if your soul and spirit have left your body; you can see, but you can't do anything.

The Yin Wind Banner lost control and stopped abruptly.

The masked warrior took three steps in two, appearing in front of the fallen bull-headed man in an instant, and beheaded him with his sword.

Bang!
The leader of the bull demons is dead!

Ning Xuan raised his hand and dipped it in the cow's blood.

【Yinfeng Ox】

[Heavenly Demon Destiny, Class Ox, Common Family, Yin Wind Species (Constitution): 3.5]

[Heavenly Demon Talisman: Observe the arrival of the Heavenly Demon, trace its essence and blood, observe the root of its life, and forcibly refine the talisman. Failure to refine the talisman will result in death and the dissipation of one's cultivation; success will allow it to be used by oneself.]

[Should I practice talismanic cultivation?]

Ning Xuan recalled the bull demon's behavior just now.

A cold wind arose, and then, with the help of the gray banner, the cold wind was amplified.

However, in the nightmare, the treasure cannot be brought in.

He had already understood the sorcery, and when he was refining the talisman in the nightmare, time outside stood still. He had experienced this twice before. The first time, he was still confused, but the second time, he had confirmed it.

That being the case.
'Refine.'

Ning Xuan closed his eyes.

I spun around in my dream.

then
She opened her eyes again.

A new talisman has appeared in his [Heavenly Demon Talisman].

The Yin Wind Bull Demon was instantly refined.
