Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"How is it? Did you see a lot of demonic energy?" Miss Hua suddenly asked.

"Miss Hua, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi didn't know how to respond, so he could only pretend not to understand.

"You, you lied to me again." Miss Hua gently punched Jiang Shi's chest as if she were coquettishly talking to a lover.

Jiang Shi was speechless: "You old man, your real age is probably older than my great-grandfather, and you're still pretending to be a young girl. If I could beat you, I would hang you up and beat you right now."

Jiang Shi thought this in his heart, but dared not speak.

"Are you... insulting me?" Miss Hua raised her face, getting very close to Jiang Shi's face and staring into his eyes.

Jiang Shi felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze and quickly took a few steps back.

"Miss Hua, what brings you here?"

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Miss Hua pointed to the courtyard.

"There is a patient inside, a disciple of the city lord Shangguan Shuo. He was exposed to demonic energy a few days ago and cannot be exorcised."

"Since you can see the demonic energy, you must have a way to deal with it."

Miss Hua's words, though light and pleasant to the ear, revealed an undeniable air of authority.

Jiang Shi knew that his plan had been seen through, and it was no longer possible to hide it.

Moreover, since his opponent could see through his "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique," he had nowhere to run.

Jiang Shi had no choice but to agree and walked into the house.

Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is two cultivators lying sprawled on the ground, their deaths extremely gruesome.

"They are the two cultivators from last night." Jiang Shi recognized the two at a glance.

These were the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who had been temporarily summoned away by Steward Luo last night.

He also realized that the two people died from demonic energy entering their bodies.

He looked inside again and saw a young man in white sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat.

This young man's face was shrouded in black mist, and his body was trembling uncontrollably. He could only desperately circulate his magic power to protect his dantian from being invaded.

This person is none other than Ouyang Yu of the Lingxu Sect!

In the Misty Mansion, he was severely injured by a late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic puppet, and his body became tainted with demonic energy.

Later, Ouyang Yu used a trump card, which allowed him to escape with great difficulty.

However, his cultivation level at the mid-Foundation stage had been deeply invaded by demonic energy.

No matter how strong Shangguan Shuo's fighting ability is or how profound his cultivation is, he is powerless to do anything about it.

"How is it? Can it be saved?" Miss Hua leaned against the door frame and asked softly.

"This person is deeply corrupted by demonic energy; saving him will be extremely difficult!"

Jiang Shi shook his head, looking quite troubled.

"So, it's difficult, but it's still possible to save him?" The girl walked up to Jiang Shi and leaned forward to ask.

"We need to pay more!" Jiang Shi said.

Since things have already come to this, even if it means dying later, we still have to make one last profit.

"If you can save him, I'll give myself to you, how about it?" Miss Hua leaned closer to Jiang Shi and whispered in his ear.

Jiang Shi avoided Miss Hua and walked towards Ouyang Yu.

"What use are you to me? I need cultivation resources!"

He could tell that the other party had no intention of killing him, so he relaxed a bit.

"You're so annoying." Miss Hua pretended to be angry, stomped her foot, and ran outside.

She hadn't been gone long when she poked her head back in from the doorway and said, "He is Ouyang Yu, an inner disciple of the Lingxu Sect. If you save him, you'll naturally reap the rewards."

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Shi stopped waiting, sat cross-legged in front of Ouyang Yu, and began to absorb the demonic energy from Ouyang Yu's body by using the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of Demonic Source".

[Proficiency +100]

As demonic energy entered his body, Jiang Shi neutralized it, and his proficiency increased rapidly.

At this moment, Miss Hua suddenly appeared and pointed a finger at Ouyang Yu's forehead.

A petal landed on it.

Jiang Shi was startled, but seeing that it wasn't aimed at him, he didn't stop and continued absorbing the demonic energy from Ouyang Yu's body.

Miss Hua sat on a chair to the side, propping her head up with her delicate hands, looking at Jiang Shi with shining eyes.

One night passed! Jiang Shi finished his work.

【The True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source: Great Completion (130/3000)】

The demonic energy increased in proficiency at an astonishing speed; in such a short time, Jiang Shi had already reached the pinnacle of his cultivation.

If I absorb it a few more times, I'm afraid I'll be able to quickly reach perfection in my cultivation.

As Jiang Shi finished his practice, Ouyang Yu slowly woke up.

The demonic energy within him had been eliminated, and his magical power had been restored. With Ouyang Yu's cultivation at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he was naturally unharmed.

Just then, Miss Hua suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Shi and shielded him behind her.

The moment Ouyang Yu opened his eyes and saw Miss Hua, he was so frightened that his face turned pale!

"Master of Flower Valley!" Ouyang Yu cried out in disbelief.

Jiang Shi's expression also changed.

The meaning behind the three words "Master of Flower Valley" is truly frightening.

The person who can see through his "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique" must have an incredibly high level of cultivation.

The person who could make Ouyang Yu lose his composure like this, and who was addressed as the Valley Master.

In Jiang Shi's mind, there was only one person with this identity!

The Azure Valley Master's Flowers Fall Like Rain!

Jiang Shi was, after all, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and he had heard of the names of the important figures in the three major sects.

"She's actually the master of Biluo Valley." Jiang Shi's face darkened even more.

Biluo Valley has a bad reputation; its disciples are licentious and immoral, and the cultivation techniques they practice are no different from demonic arts.

Men and women often practiced cultivation together.

Liu Yue of the Liu family was captured by Chen Sisi of Biluo Valley, drained dry, thrown out, and died tragically by the roadside.

Jiang Shi, having been targeted by the sect's leader, couldn't help but want to fight to the death and escape immediately.

"Valley Master, you saved me," Ouyang Yu said nervously.

The infamous Flower Rain was far-reaching, and Ouyang Yu, being a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, knew even more about it.

"Nephew Ouyang, I used up a lot of my power to save you. How are you going to thank me?" Hua Luoyu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yu almost cried, thinking:

"Thank you? I'd rather be dead than fall into your hands!"

"Don't be afraid, I don't even look at you. I already have someone I love." Hua Luoyu said, taking Jiang Shi's hand.

Then she whispered to Jiang Shi:

"Tell my beloved what you want?"

Ouyang Yu was overjoyed to hear this, while Jiang Shi felt like crying.

"Oh no, she's after me! I'm destined to become an immortal, am I going to be drained dry right now?!"

"Hahaha, fellow Daoist, just say the word, I can fulfill any request." Ouyang Yu laughed heartily, took out his fan, and said in a very dashing manner.

"I want to cultivate pills, preferably at least mid-grade second rank." Jiang Shi knew that since things had come to this, he had no choice but to accept it. He would ask for some pills first, and then figure out a way to escape after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
