Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

Wang Qi then took out the liver of the Fire-Hidden Bull Demon.

He took a bite, then used fire to singe the cut several times, creating a wound similar to that made by a fire knife.

He then dragged the python's corpse and trudged through the snow.

The enormous object, weighing several hundred kilograms, seemed to have become even heavier after its death, making it difficult for Wang Qi to breathe.

"With my current [Intimidation] quota, I can control two of these second-tier demons at the same time. What others see as nightmares are just two wooden stakes in front of me."

"That was awesome!"

The more Wang Qi thought about it, the more terrifying this awe-inspiring cloak seemed.

If you were to increase your [Weifu] to three thousand jin, five thousand jin, or even ten thousand jin.

Is it possible to control even the giant dragon that Master Huang killed?

Or it could instantly subdue a group of low-level demons.

This is a rare crowd control skill. As long as it appears within ten or twenty meters of you, all demons and monsters will be unable to move.

wonderful.

Wang Qi walked towards the servants' quarters while thinking about it.

Now that the green python is in hand, there's no need to drag such a large corpse back to find Sun Li.

With Li Yu, Butcher Hu Tu, and Shi Hu among the top experts present, trouble is bound to arise upon their return. If the cooked duck flies away, it will be too late for regrets.

We haven't even left the sewer alley yet.

Wang Qi then saw a middle-aged man with long hair, a kind face, and wearing yellow clothes, carrying a basket and knocking on doors from house to house.

They cracked it open and gave me an egg, while muttering something under their breath.

"The officer is incredibly brave!"

The middle-aged man in yellow walked up to Wang Qi with a basket in his hand, took an egg out of the basket, and handed it to him.

Wang Qi didn't take it, but asked with a smile, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Lao Fei, the leader of the Fragrant Meat Sect," Lao Fei said in a gentle voice.

Fragrant meat? Dog meat cult?

A question mark arose in Wang Qi's mind.

Lao Fei continued, "I have long heard that the people of the border region are suffering and tormented by demons. Therefore, I have been invited to teach the Bible to eliminate the calamities and cleanse the souls of the people of Heihe County. Tomorrow at sunset, I will be giving a sermon in the open space in Dachang Hutong, Xiashui Lane. I have come to inform the villagers..."

Oh, Wang Qi understands.

They came to preach.

"I bet Master Lao Xiang can get another egg when we get to Dachang Hutong," Wang Qi asked.

Lao Fei's eyes lit up.

"You're a real expert, officer."

"I wonder what kind of organization they're involved in?"

The Fragrant Meat Cult's missionary methods are quite advanced; they give away free eggs to people to attend their classes.

"Just a guess."

Wang Qi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, not wanting to talk any further, and dragged the green python's corpse through another fork in the road.

"Officer, would you like to join our Fragrant Meat Cult?" Lao Fei caught up with him. "I see that you have an extraordinary appearance and bearing, and you possess the true... aura of a dragon! You are sure to achieve great things."

"My Fragrant Meat Sect has a profound foundation, rooted in the Huxi Protectorate, and is no less than your local Divine Eagle Sect or Earth River Sect."

"Let me think about it," Wang Qi said politely, and then left again.

This time,

Lao Fei did not chase after him.

He watched Wang Qi's retreating figure with a smile, his hand hidden under his long sleeves constantly fiddling with the short knife.

"He has an extraordinary bearing and an extraordinary presence... I can't even tell his background."

"Never mind..."

……

Although the streets of Heihe County were not very lively in winter, Wang Qi's swaggering through the city dragging the huge green python carcass still caused a great sensation.

"Officer, your martial arts are excellent! Well done!"

Some pedestrians cheered for Wang Qi.

"It is our duty to vanquish demons and monsters for the people of Heihe County and bring peace to the region; it's nothing special!"

Wang Qi spoke modestly, but his voice was extremely loud.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

"Wang Qi, the soap maker!" Wang Qi shouted as he introduced himself.

"Young man, come up and play! We'll give you a 50% discount."

"Officer, this python is huge!"

On the upper floor, a woman wearing a red mink coat, her shoulders partially exposed, cast flirtatious glances and spoke in a soft, coquettish tone.

"Young man, I'll give you an ounce, come here!" A woman was flirting with him.

Wang Qi laughed heartily and responded to each question.

His flamboyant manner is certainly not due to vanity.

Instead, he thought of the deceased Zhou Fu.

He deliberately exaggerated his feat of slaying the green python, making it a well-known story among the people, so that everyone knew his name. Then, even if the county magistrate wanted to take action against him, he would have to think twice.

Wang Qi wouldn't just stand by and do nothing, leaving his life entirely to the other party's whim.

Even if this resistance is insignificant to the county constable...

By the time Wang Qi had taken a long detour and arrived at Zhengyu Street, his deeds had already spread throughout half of Heihe County.

The entrances to each hospital were already crowded with taxi drivers.

Zhang Yuan, Liu Zhuangtou, and Wu Zhuangtou were prominently listed.

"A second-tier demon actually died at your hands!" Wu Zhuangtou was shocked.

"Zhang Yuan, you've revealed all your hidden skills?" Liu Zhuangtou glanced at the wound on the green python's head and gritted his teeth, "You really want Wang Qi as your son-in-law!"

"Anyway, you have no chance." Zhang Yuan rarely smiled.

What this apprentice did is truly a source of pride!

At his age, to be honest, his martial arts career had reached its limit.

The few things that can make such a person happy are nothing more than their children getting married and their apprentices bringing honor to the family.

Wu Zhuang asked, "Even with a powerful move, you managed to kill a second-tier demon without sustaining any damage. It's truly miraculous. How did you do it...?"

"I really hit the jackpot."

As Wang Qi spoke, his legs gave way and he fell forward.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan reacted quickly and caught Wang Qi, who was almost falling.

"Go back and rest well."

Zhang Yuan said seriously, "You should eat as much of this highly nourishing food as you can... Remember to practice your exercises twice after you finish eating it, otherwise the medicine will be too strong and could harm your health."

As he spoke, he called out to Madam Zhang in his courtyard.

"Bring me my deer blood wine, and pluck a petal from that six-eared flower."

"Tsk tsk..."

Liu Zhuangtou and Wu Zhuangtou, standing to the side, could only look on with envy at the scene before them.

"If I had this apprentice, I would also bring out all my treasures."

Wang Qi, who was feigning composure, secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had passed this hurdle.

Fortunately, I had scabbed over three times before, which made my skin snow-white... I didn't need to dress up to look sickly.

Now, feigning weakness is flawless.

Wang Qi was helped back to a guest room in the Zhang residence by Zhang Yuan to rest.

I lay down and pretended to sleep for about an hour.

Then I heard the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling from afar, until it reached the bedside.

The cries shook the heavens!

"Wow..."

Wang Qi opened his eyes and looked at Sun Li, whose eyes were filled with tears, and was deeply moved.

"I'm fine..."

"My hundred taels!" Sun Li wailed.

Wang Qi: "..."

"I'll give you 30% of the profits," he said.

"I, Sun Li, do not accept charity!" Sun Li sobbed, but remained resolute.

"Then why are you crying?"

"I just feel so heartbroken... I can't help but want to cry, what can I do?"

Sun Li choked up.

Wang Qi was speechless and let her "mourn" for her money by the bedside.

After what seemed like an eternity, Sun Li finally stopped and got down to business.

"You've really gotten yourself into trouble this time. Do you know what everyone's calling you now?"

Sun Li said, "The Great Python King Qi."

"This name sounds a little strange..."

Wang Qi frowned slightly.

Sun Li chimed in, "Be content with a nickname. Do you know that there's an unquestionable rule in the martial arts world of Heihe County: only those who are at least strong internal martial artists can have nicknames? And they have to be truly skilled strong internal martial artists."

"You either need to be a young talent or someone who has been famous for a long time."

"If others don't recognize it, they'll come knocking on our door to challenge us..."

"And your nickname has been out for half a day now, and no one has come out to object yet, which means that everyone acknowledges your strength on the surface."

"This person has a nickname even before he has achieved internal strength. This is unique in the history of Heihe County."

"Be secretly happy."

"It's just an empty reputation," Wang Qi waved his hand dismissively.

"A nominal title?" Sun Li laughed. "With this nominal title, your affiliation fee will increase significantly, and the higher-ups and even the military government will take notice of you and register you."

"You will be considered in advance for future promotions and benefits."

Do you still think it's just empty fame?

Wang Qi smiled and said nothing more.

It seems that my goal has been achieved by accident, and I've even gained something extra.

Previously, because I wasn't short of money, I wasn't in a hurry to find someone to work with, but now it seems that has turned out to be a good thing.

"Once you get your hands on this green python, you won't have to worry about resources to cultivate to the Inner Strength realm..."

"Just watch, your killing of a second-tier demon in your training is truly astonishing. This isn't over yet; Fourth Master Huang of the military government will surely reward you further..."

"What a powerful demon! May its fortune extend for many years!"

Sun Li sighed, her voice starting to tremble with emotion again.

He was clearly thinking about something sad.

Wang Qi's mood also improved, and he patted Sun Li on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
