Living as a Demon Lord in the Dungeon

The dilapidated dungeon had plenty of space, easily accommodating a mere hundred or so minotaurs.

Sean even stood at the city gate to personally welcome the minotaurs.

Of course, his real purpose was to judge the cultivation aptitude of these minotaurs through contact.

As a result, most of these minotaurs were rated as having "decent aptitude," while only the young and strong individuals led by the chieftain were rated as having "excellent aptitude."

Unfortunately, apart from Minos and the Great Chieftain, there were no other individuals rated as having "exceptionally good innate talent".

Fortunately, except for a very few elderly or weak individuals, all these minotaurs can cultivate.

Sean was quite satisfied with the result.

In the early stages of starting a business, put quality aside for now and focus on building up your customer base.

After all, there is a real reward for successfully passing on one's skills to someone.

Moreover, during a break, Sean also tested the five remaining ratman guards in the escort team.

As a result, everyone was of mediocre quality and could not become a target for the transmission of teachings.

Sean was both amused and exasperated by this, and could only offer them words of comfort.

"I acknowledge the loyalty of the five of you, but your strength is still too weak to withstand the blessing of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Laws."

But don't worry, once you're strong enough, I will personally preside over the blessing ceremony for you.

The five ratmen were overjoyed to hear this and happily helped the minotaur settle down.

After settling into their lodgings, the chieftain led all his people to the city lord's palace.

Sean stood on the high platform, opening his arms wide: "In the name of the God of All Laws, I hereby welcome you all to join us."

I promise you glory! Status! Authority! Power! And all that you know and do not know!

And all you need to do is... offer your loyalty!

Sean had been tempted by empty promises before, and he was quite adept at imitating them, only now he was using the sorcerer's version.

But clearly, the Tauren were very receptive to this. With the High Chieftain and the tribe's elites leading the way, over a hundred Tauren knelt down, chanting the name of the God of All Laws.

Sean smiled slightly, immediately opened the system, and selected all the minotaurs as targets for the spell transfer.

In an instant, demonic energy surged from his body, enveloping all 140-plus minotaurs in the square.

Having consumed so much demonic energy at once, Sean was also somewhat overwhelmed and quickly took out a low-grade demonic essence pill from the system and swallowed it.

The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, and its medicinal power transformed into demonic energy within his abdomen, greatly replenishing his depletion.

"This elixir is good, but it still can't compare to innate demonic energy..."

Sean smacked his lips; after tasting the finest delicacies, this ordinary pill tasted utterly bland.

The next moment, his mind was filled with a barrage of system notifications.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully transferred the technique and automatically learned the "Bull Demon Mighty Fist". Reward: 10 Low-Grade Demon Essence Pills.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host...]

……

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the 100th transmission of the Dharma, achieving the accomplishment of "Everything Goes Well".]

Reward received: Low-grade Spiritual Weapon - Bloodthirsty Demon Blade.

"Um?"

Sean keenly caught this unusual clue and was overjoyed.

I never expected that transmitting the technique a hundred times would trigger an achievement reward! Although it's a low-grade item, it's still a spiritual artifact!

It's important to understand that before a cultivator reaches the Core Formation stage, they typically use various ordinary artifacts. Even low-grade spiritual artifacts are considered unattainable treasures!

Sean couldn't help but marvel at how generous the system's rewards were.

However, unlike ordinary tools that can be used immediately, spiritual tools need to be refined and recognized by a master before they can be used with ease and skill.

He was also very curious about what this Bloodthirsty Demon Blade was like.

"Great Chieftain, Minos, you two come here."

"Sir, you can just call me by my name Carlos from now on."

Chief Carlos, accompanied by Minos, knelt before Sean: "What are your orders?"

"Take these pills and distribute them among everyone. This is a gift from the God of All Laws, which will help you better absorb and utilize the God's blessings."

Sean took out a certain amount of low-grade magic essence pills and placed them in the hands of the two men.

"You two brothers, each of you will receive thirty. The able-bodied and elite soldiers will each receive fifteen, and the rest of you will each receive five."

You can only eat one at a time. After swallowing it, you must guide the power of the demon god to circulate within your body according to the wisdom and profound meaning bestowed upon you by the demon god.

Ideally, they should compete against each other; that way, they can digest the information much faster.

"Bull Demon Mighty Fist" is a body-refining demonic art, focusing on tempering the body, and its combat effectiveness far surpasses that of meditation and breath regulation.

"I... still have some things to discuss with the God of Ten Thousand Laws. You all should focus on your cultivation."

Remember! Only sweat will not let you down!

Carlos and Minos nodded repeatedly, extremely grateful: "Yes, sir!"

After settling things with the minotaurs, Sean immediately turned and returned to the city lord's hall.

After closing the door, he couldn't wait to summon the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, a reward from the system.

A flash of cold light appeared in the dimly lit hall, and a dark red demonic blade appeared in his hand.

The blade is long and about three fingers wide, resembling neither a sword nor a knife, and looks exceptionally sharp!

Sean fell in love with the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade at first sight and couldn't wait to sit cross-legged on the city lord's seat to begin the refining process.

He first cut his palm and smeared the blood onto the blade. Then he activated the "All Laws Return to Demonic Power Technique," using demonic energy to completely envelop the entire demonic blade.

As demonic energy and blood seeped in little by little, the demonic blade continuously emitted subtle vibrations.

And so, after a full twelve hours, with a resounding clang of the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, Sean finally completed the refining process!

He stood up, carrying the demonic blade, ignoring his exhaustion, and casually swung it downwards.

A chilling aura shot out, leaving a deep scar on the hard marble floor.

Sean stroked the blade with delight: "What a treasure! It was worth all the effort I put in!"

During the refining process, Sean had to stop and take Demon Essence Pills to replenish his demonic energy multiple times due to the depletion of his internal demonic energy.

Unfortunately, with his level three Qi Refining cultivation, refining spiritual artifacts was still quite difficult for him.

Although it consumed several precious pills, Sean felt it was well worth it.

After all, in such a strange and dangerous world, you can never have too many trump cards to save your life!

Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade cannot be considered a divine weapon, having it in hand will greatly enhance one's strength and make one more confident in dealing with various threats, whether overt or covert.

Sean calmed himself down, swiftly sheathed the demonic blade with one hand, and strode toward the palace gate.

They spent the whole night refining, but they didn't know how the minotaurs were doing or if they had made any progress.

But when he pushed open the temple doors, he saw Minos pacing anxiously. In the distance, in the plaza, Carlos was discussing something with several minotaurs.

"Huh? What's wrong with you guys?"

"My lord! My lord, you've finally come out!"

Upon seeing Sean appear, Minos felt as if he had seen a savior and quickly ran over.

"It's terrible, sir! Several children from our tribe have been kidnapped by a nearby lizardman tribe!"
