Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 396 Eight Hundred Miles and Yellow Ears
Lin Jiang examined the two demon cores in his palm, momentarily speechless.

Seeing that Lin Jiang had no reaction, the demon core coldly snorted:
"Hmph! I didn't expect that even after changing masters, he's still the same person. What a pity."

A faint light swept across the surface of the demon core, and Lin Jiang vaguely felt it scanning him up and down.

"At least he looks more presentable than the other person, and he doesn't have such a shifty look."

Despite its aggressive tone, the demon's voice was unusually high-pitched, sounding like that of some shrunken little creature.

how to say,

With that voice, no matter how threatening the words were, Lin Jiang would not feel the slightest danger.

When power is so weak that even baring one's teeth and claws becomes somewhat endearing.

Lin Jiang couldn't help but take a closer look at it a few more times:

"Can you talk?"

"I am a dignified man from the Eight Hundred Li! Why can't I speak?"

Lin Jiang suddenly realized he had been taken advantage of for his ignorance, and rubbed his temples, turning to Jiang Jinyue in confusion:
"Eight hundred li... what is that?"

Jiang Jinyue didn't react for a moment: "Eight hundred li is a distance."

"I mean, this demon core claims to be eight hundred li long," Lin Jiang said, pointing to the demon core.

Jiang Jinyue then realized what was happening, and approached the demon core, examining it with a puzzled look:

"Can it talk?"

"Yes."

"Why can't I hear anything?"

"do not know."

The two of them, singing in unison, infuriated Yao Dan:
"Are you fucking crazy?! Eight hundred li is an ox! An ox, seriously?!"

"Oh, a bull demon." Lin Jiang suddenly realized.

Lin Jiang vaguely sensed that the demon core was turning slightly red.

The demon core trembled twice in the box, seemingly realizing it couldn't win the argument with Lin Jiang, before finally calming down:
“It’s normal that she can’t hear. There are very few people like you who can hear clearly. Your spiritual sense must be higher than that of ordinary people. Even the person who was holding us before could only hear a faint noise occasionally.”

Lin Jiang raised an eyebrow.

He could hear his baby's voice much more clearly than others.

Could it be because of this?
As Lin Jiang was pondering, a small head suddenly popped up on his shoulder.

Little Ginseng looked at the demon core with suspicion:

Wow! Your voice is so soft!

The demon core also noticed the suddenly appearing little fellow:

"Plant spirits?"

"I am ginseng!" Little Ginseng said, hands on hips. "I am a great hero!"

"A great hero?" Yao Dan scoffed. "A great hero following a human?"

"What's wrong with humans!" Little Ginseng suddenly hugged Lin Jiang's face, pulling half of Lin Jiang's face crooked: "I just like him!"

For a moment, Yao Dan didn't know what to say and fell silent.

Lin Jiang wasn't sure if the little ginseng was just too inspired or if its spirit nature allowed it to talk to demon cultivators. In any case, he reached out and patted the little ginseng's head, and the latter squinted its eyes in great enjoyment.

Then Lin Jiang subconsciously looked at the demon core that had been tainted by the calamity, and sure enough, a continuous stream of voices appeared above the demon core.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"

Lin Jiang: "?"

Before Lin Jiang could react, the demon core rattled off a long string of words like a machine gun:

"Heaven creates all things to nourish our essence, and since our essence has nothing to repay, we must kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"hiss."

Lin Jiang never expected that the demon core would turn into this after being corrupted.

Most importantly, this demon core spoke softly, but its words were quite frightening, yet not threatening at all.

"You heard him speak, didn't you?"

The bull demon's demon core let out a helpless sigh:

"Back then, I was traveling with this old bastard, planning to visit what you humans call the heavenly kingdom of Daxing City. But when we were crossing the Wanxie Swamp, we suddenly saw a red color. My old brother lost his mind and started fighting with me on the spot. That's how that bastard got the chance to steal both of us and turn us into demon cores."

"So, you two still retain your original memories?"

"Nonsense! Don't look down on us!" The bull demon's voice was filled with pride: "What you hold in your hand is the Primordial Chaos, a profound cultivation formed by the condensation of all living things in heaven and earth, far surpassing that of you humans! Naturally, you can condense all your thoughts into it!"

Provoked by that arrogant tone, Lin Jiang couldn't help but press further:

"You seem to look down on humans."

"Hmph, your physical bodies are too weak for me to care about. You're just easier to become intelligent sooner! Besides, many of you attacked us repeatedly back then, slaughtering countless members of our race over the years. How could you expect me to give you a friendly look?"

The bull demon was furious and showed no intention of softening his tone, acting as if to say, "I hate you so much, you might as well kill me!"

However, for this bull demon pill, its current state is almost the same as being dead.

However, Lin Jiang gleaned some meaning from between the lines, and a few doubts arose in his heart:

"Attack you?"

"Yes! Aren't there a group of you humans who call yourselves Taoists? They always like to come here in groups to challenge us!"

“I don’t know about other places, but the Taoist priests in Daxing don’t do these things anymore,” Lin Jiang shook his head. “Nowadays, Daxing has a position called ‘Hall Keeper,’ and any demon that hasn’t committed murder can fill this role.” “What?” The bull demon’s voice suddenly rose, then immediately lowered again in a rough voice:
"What good is a mere waiter? Won't those Taoist priests just give up?"

“If a Taoist priest dares to beat a waiter, the authorities will arrest him.”

"Hiss—" The bull demon gasped, "Then... is there any other way?"

"If you are willing to work for the government, you can also get some salary every month."

"Salary? What's the use of silver?"

"Buy food, buy clothes, buy many other items."

"Such a good thing? You're not kidding me, are you?"

The bull demon twitched its ears, its voice tinged with a hint of dazedness.

Why should I deceive you?

“It doesn’t seem like you’re lying to me… In that case, Daxing really is a good place.” The bull demon muttered, then suddenly sighed, and then sighed helplessly: “It’s a pity that the two of us couldn’t reach Daxing back then, and he, I suppose, will never be able to regain his senses again.”

Lin Jiang silently raised his hand and sent a wisp of Qi to the demon core that was still roaring "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

As Lin Jiang's Qi flowed in like a wisp of silk, the dense aura of calamity that had been clinging to the demon core quietly dissipated, eventually disappearing completely.

The frenzied "killing" cries from within the demon core also subsided.

After a moment of silence, a slightly sharp yet utterly bewildered voice trembled as it spoke:

"What happened? Where am I...?"

"?" The other bull demon core was immediately startled and its spiritual light trembled wildly: "Yellow Ears? You... woke him up?"

Lin Jiang nodded calmly: "It's just a little trick."

"A minor skill?!" The Bull Demon Pill's round halo suddenly contracted: "So many years have passed! I thought he would stay this mad forever, and you call this a minor skill?!"

Lin Jiang smiled faintly, remaining silent.

"Eight hundred... li?" The demon core called Yellow Ears flickered a few times, seemingly finally regaining a sliver of consciousness: "How did I become a demon core? And how did we end up in... the palm of a human's hand?"

After a long silence, Niu Yaodan finally spoke in a deep voice:

"This is no ordinary human being, this is our eldest brother."

……

Niu Yaodan told Huang Erduo the whole story, and Huang Erduo was stunned for a long time after listening.

Compared to the bull demon who had already transformed into a demon core, Yellow Ears found it harder to accept his sudden change.

He sank into deep confusion and remained silent all day.

The bull demon tried to reason with him gently for a long time to no avail. Huang Erduo's heart was sealed shut as if by stone, and he remained silent.

Niu Yaodan could only sigh inwardly.

However, when he spoke to Lin Jiang again, his tone was completely different:
"Brother, your skills are truly divine! From now on, I will follow your lead without question!"

"Given your current state, you can't find anyone else," Lin Jiang shook his head and said, "Do you still have any tricks up your sleeve?"

"Our cultivation is contained within our demon cores. Now that our bodies are gone, we can no longer use our techniques. Fortunately, our knowledge is still intact. If you trust the ginseng beside you, elder brother, we are willing to impart all our demon cultivation methods to you."

Lin Jiang originally wanted Shan Shen to take pills to improve his cultivation, so upon hearing this, he naturally had no objection.

Now that Xiaoshan Shen has already achieved a high level of skill, it would be good for him to learn more skills to enhance his abilities.

So he summoned Little Ginseng, handed him the box, and warned him not to eat the contents of the box.

Seeing Xiaoshanshen leave with great interest, Lin Jiang did not completely trust the demon core. He still listened attentively to their lesson, lest the demon core mislead Xiaoshanshen.

However, Lin Jiang was also somewhat curious about the situation in the south.

I had heard that there was a vast swamp there, behind which stretched a magnificent mountain range, where many monsters roamed, and it could be regarded as a country.

However, due to the great distance, news from the other side rarely reached Daxing, and the monsters and spirits of Daxing had their own management system and rarely communicated with the other side, so the two sides knew very little about each other.

Lin Jiang's only worry now is that a large-scale disaster might occur on the other side of the mountains.

If calamity were to attach itself to a demon like the Yellow-Eared Demon, causing it to lose its mind, it would then launch a massive attack on Daxing to the north, inevitably causing considerable trouble.

I just hope everything will stay peaceful and stable until Lin Jiang finds a solution to the emptiness outside.

……

As Li Fuqi watched the pieces of flesh slowly being pieced together, his already drooping lips twitched downwards even further.

He stared at the piece of meat and asked:

"What did you encounter? You went to capture a thief who turned out to be a robber, but one of you died and another was forced to use a stealth technique?"

The meat chunks solidified for a long time before finally sticking together, forming a miniature one-eyed man.

The one-eyed man was swaying unsteadily, seemingly unable to stand, but he still quickly spoke:

"They're a group from Daxing! Very impressive! They have three stars!"

"Three stars?"

Li Fuqi couldn't help but recall some rumors he had heard when he returned, and he turned his head to look at Donkey Head:
"These guys from Daxing are pretty good fighters. Do you know them?"

“Of course we know each other.” Donkey Head shook his hood a couple of times. “I have some connection with some of them.”

"What are they doing here? Do they intend to ruin the foundation of my Dust Kingdom?"

"Probably not."

The donkey's head is looking south:
"Perhaps...they came here looking for answers."
