The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

"Budu's head?!"

Immediately, many cultivators gathered around.

That was Budu, a wicked cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage! This guy was infamous, yet extremely powerful. I never expected that one day his head would be delivered here.

That evil cultivator who would slaughter an entire family at the drop of a hat, and even use mortals to refine their souls—he's finally met his end!

Surrounded by onlookers, the young man carrying Budu's head wore an air of arrogance.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon Li Xiaobai, who was drinking tea not far away, and a look of doubt flashed across the young man's eyes.

This guy... I've never seen him before.

A member of a prominent family? Why are there no guards? And I've never seen this person before.

Why does this poor, rogue cultivator possess such an air of refinement? The storage ring he wears... is even better than mine!

At this moment, the two old men behind the display case had already examined the still-wet head and, after confirming that there was no problem, directly gave the young man 10,000 high-grade spirit stones.

The young man tossed his storage ring aside and smiled smugly.

He glanced disdainfully at the person behind him. Tsk, someone actually thinks they can collect a bounty just by bringing a severed arm?

joke!

A bunch of losers!!

At this moment, he spoke up: "Everyone, please don't rush. I see that gentleman has been waiting for quite some time; he arrived earlier than any of us! How about we let him collect his reward first?"

The young man laughed loudly, but a shadow fell over his eyes.

If this person can't produce anything decent, he must be a self-proclaimed rogue cultivator putting on airs!

Surely this thing can't stay in the ancestral city forever, right? It'll have to leave eventually, won't it? And then, what about the storage ring on his hand... hey!

If he can produce something, he might be the young master of some hidden family. I can take this opportunity to befriend him and profit from both sides!

"Yes, Young Master Xu is right!"

"Yes, yes, I also see that this fellow Daoist has been waiting for a long time. I suppose he is being modest."

"Fellow Daoist, Young Master Xu has spoken up for you! Come here, come here!"

Li Xiaobai: "..."

This is one of the reasons why he felt that the demon race was more comfortable.

People are always more united than ever when facing external enemies, but when facing their own people... they can always inexplicably, even without any reason, spread some malice.

"OK."

Li Xiaobai stepped forward.

He's here to exchange money! A large sum of money! And he certainly won't be able to leave the human race safely with that large sum of money.

But... my brother and sister are in the ancestral city! Both of their sects live here.

Surely you can't refuse to help your younger brother with something as small as this?

Therefore, Li Xiaobai had no intention of keeping a low profile at all. After all, when it comes to favors... how can using my own brother and sister's face be considered a favor?

As he spoke, Li Xiaobai directly took out a divine soul from his storage ring.

A heretical cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!

Why is it so charred black?

A soul... is far more valuable than a head! This is practically a capture alive...

The entire room erupted in uproar! Even Young Master Xu's face turned extremely grim.

Budu's head was obtained by him leading more than twenty powerful guards in a siege! Many of his elite troops were seriously injured in the process.

In reality, the benefits far outweigh the losses, but it brings fame! How can you survive on the right path without public support?

But this guy… his first move was against a heretical cultivator of the same caliber as Budu! And it was their soul! You know, capturing the souls of those heretical cultivators is much more difficult than taking their heads.

The two old men examined it carefully. Then, he took out a small soul banner and put the evil cultivator's soul into it.

Before he could retrieve the spirit stone, another evil cultivator's soul was taken out.

Both had their mouths sealed shut, both were listless, both were... charred black...

and also!

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Li Xiaobai changed.

Two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who were evil cultivators? This guy… the power behind him is definitely not small! Otherwise, how could he kill evil cultivators and obtain such a complete soul at the same time?!

The third, the fourth...

Young Master Xu plopped down on the ground.

The fifth, the sixth... the tenth!

Everyone in the Treasure Pavilion crowded around, but the entire pavilion was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After the eighteenth one, one of the old men rubbed his face.

"Young friend, how much more do you have? Take it all out at once."

Li Xiaobai's fingertips brushed against the storage ring.

The souls of twelve evil cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage twisted and crawled on the counter.

The temperature in the entire Treasure Pavilion dropped...

A chorus of swallowing sounds filled the air! Twelve Nascent Soul stage cultivators! Twelve complete Nascent Soul stage evil cultivator souls!

This...this is...

Then, Li Xiaobai took out the souls of eight evil cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage...

One of the old men was verifying the documents. The other... was calculating the accounts while making a much larger soul banner.

Then… with an expressionless face, Li Xiaobai extracted the souls of seven more evil cultivators at the clone stage…

In an instant! Even just the divine soul! The entire Treasure Pavilion was enveloped by an intense pressure from a powerful figure! Even a dead tiger doesn't lose its might? These evil cultivators, their faces contorted in rage, were all gagged…

Li Xiaobai appears as calm and collected as an old snake.

In my heart…

"Ah, this feels amazing! This is even better than going to a prostitute!"

[Please show some self-respect, host!]

"Fellow Daoist... this..."

"Isn't that enough?" Li Xiaobai smiled gently.

The moment the souls of the two evil cultivators at the Integration Stage appeared, the entire protective array of the Treasure Pavilion immediately activated on its own! A terrifying array light enveloped the souls of the two evil cultivators at the Integration Stage!

Everyone was numb...

Even under the oppressive aura of the old monsters in the Fusion stage, many people covered their heads and knelt down.

"That...that's Xie Yang Sanren!"

"My god! Xie Yang Sanren is a Nascent Soul stage expert! This... just how terrifying must the power behind this senior be!"

"That's right, I heard that Xie Yang Sanren escaped into the Hundred Thousand Mountains! This family or force actually managed to beat a ruthless person like Xie Yang Sanren to the point of leaving only his soul in the demon realm!"

"What the hell is this demon territory! We humans could go there too!"

"Then why don't you go and capture a heretical cultivator? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew!"

"And that other one... that's Zi Ding! He's been disguised as a righteous cultivator and infiltrating the Righteous Path Alliance for over seven hundred years! It was Young Master Li Wuyai who exposed him!"

"Yes! I heard that this old monster also fled to the Ten Thousand Mountains, this..."

At this moment, the two old men had turned deathly pale.

Then, a somewhat familiar fragrance wafted by.

A woman in white appeared behind the two old men at some unknown time, and gently waved her jade-like hand.

Instantly! The array of light, along with the oppressive aura and resentment of those evil cultivators' souls, were all suppressed and returned!

"Thank you both for your hard work. Let me do it."

The female cultivator's phoenix eyes trembled slightly the moment they met Li Xiaobai's gaze, but quickly returned to normal.

Li Xiaobai's smile was warm but tinged with bitterness.

Isn't that my sister? My own sister! I thought being a mid-stage fifth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator was awesome enough, but it's only been a few years! Not even five years!

You... you're about to break through to the Fusion Stage, aren't you?

However! Even though the person in front of him no longer shared his bloodline, Li Xiaobai still felt a sense of familiarity.

They all came from the same nest!

He cupped his hands in greeting and said with a gentle smile, "Senior Su, it's been a long time."
