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

Xi also seriously raised a finger and pointed to the north: "That's north."

In Xi's eyes, she saw a faint moon-white light emanating from Li Xiaobai's body, and a similar light flashed in her eyes.

Then, the handprint on that handsome face began to heal...

It probably only took three to five breaths.

Li Xiaobai grabbed the pheasant's feathers and tugged at them. The pheasant immediately woke up and raised its big head to look at Xi.

That's so damn cool! Even though he sensed Li Xiaobai's meaning, the pheasant was still wary after transforming into human form, with a hint of fear in his wariness.

He has always been very confident in his strength, especially his natal demonic fire. With the support of spiritual power far exceeding that of others of the same level, even ordinary fourth-level beings dare not easily provoke its power!

And then! This female demon waded through his natal demonic fire.

That's right, we waded across!

She could wade through that level of natal demonic fire without her skirt getting ruffled.

And there's Brother Xiaobai! With just those few sword strikes, the sheer speed that Shanji couldn't comprehend, and the immense sword energy that erupted, even though it wasn't aimed at Shanji, made Shanji feel pain all over his body!

He couldn't hit the banshee even once. When he finally managed to hit her, oh ho! Little White Brother flew out of the way and lay there for a long time, unable to recover.

The pheasant is really numb!

"Brother Bai, don't be afraid, she wouldn't dare kill us!"

The pheasant held its head high, and Li Xiaobai quickly used his body as a crutch for it. Just now, the pheasant reverted to its original form and tried to stomp on Xi with its claws, but was grabbed by its claws and whipped dozens of times.

If I didn't help myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand up.

"Say less. It's just a little bit of resources. We can make up for it from other places."

"Um... Fellow Daoist, we're leaving now, farewell."

Xi slightly raised her chin. After Li Xiaobai gave her another deep look, he helped a group of limping pheasants walk away into the distance.

Only Xi left a slight upturn of her lips.

What is so special about this snake that would make the teacher go to such lengths? Why wouldn't she even investigate the fact that she snuck out?

And what is that thing? It's a drop of True Dragon Marrow! Countless demon prodigies, even the Demon King Jiao Han, begged their teacher to give it up, but he wouldn't part with it! Now, for a third-tier snake, he's thrown True Dragon Marrow into the Demon Selection Grounds.

Did you make a whole pot of dumplings just for a clove of garlic?

"That's enough."

Xi's smile widened.

Compared to other demons, her visit to the Demon Selection Land was more like a relaxing outing. She didn't care about many things, including that drop of true dragon marrow and that snake.

Li Xiaobai, on the other hand, helped the pheasant run a long way before finally sitting down on a shady hillside, panting heavily.

When he was at level two, he met this girl! At that time, he was powerless to resist.

Now that we're at level three, plus a pheasant, it's not that much of a difference! Li Xiaobai even felt that Xi wasn't taking it seriously at all.

"Who exactly is she?" Li Xiaobai took out a medicinal herb from his emptied leather bag and stuffed it into the pheasant's mouth.

The demonic aura emanating from Xi was so faint that it was almost negligible! If she thought she was human, it was because she had a human soul inside her head.

What about Ke Xi? She's the one who truly seems human.

"I really don't know!!"

The pheasant painfully tugged at a lock of hair on its head: "I've heard of all seven young prodigies in the demon race, including the two who are known as the Twin Jewels of the Demon Race."

"Brother Xiaobai, you have to believe me! I hatched in the Demon Forest, and I remember almost everything that those powerful demons talked about in front of my egg about their clans!"

"But no one has ever mentioned this banshee before."

"Is she really a demon?" Li Xiaobai still had doubts about this matter.

"Seriously! I can't tell what kind it is, but it's definitely a demon!" The pheasant was very certain. "However, she's definitely not at the third level of cultivation. Among beings of the same level, there's no one who could take on both of us at the same time and defeat us!"

The pheasant stole a glance at Li Xiaobai.

Wow, that's impressive! Although he appears to have a ninth-grade bloodline, Little White's actual combat strength is no less than that of the seven great prodigies!

With his own help, their combined efforts were excellent! If they were of the same level, how could they have beaten him to that state? He wouldn't believe it even if you stripped him naked!

"Fourth rank?" Li Xiaobai was still not quite convinced. In his perception, Xi Mingming was clearly at the peak of the third rank.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken action.

Moreover, judging from what the pheasant said, the high priest is choosing demons, and there shouldn't be any beings of the third rank or higher in this demon-selection area.

"Not necessarily." The pheasant felt better after eating the elixir: "Cough, Brother Xiaobai, you must have been cultivating in the Hundred Thousand Mountains before. As for me, I have only recently hatched, so there are some things I am not very clear about."

"But I'm good at finding treasures! I'll definitely help you snatch that True Dragon Marrow!"

"No rush, take a break." Li Xiaobai stretched.

The injuries weren't serious, but that girl definitely left me with some psychological trauma.

Such a terrible personality is such a waste of such a beautiful face.

After nightfall, the snake and the chicken finished off the remaining spiritual herbs in the deflated bag. Li Xiaobai checked his system panel and found that his cultivation level could not be improved for the time being, nor did he intend to.

The plus sign reappeared after the options for 【Cultivation Techniques】 and 【Bloodline】, but subconsciously it told him that obtaining the True Dragon Marrow before breaking through the bloodline would definitely bring much greater benefits than breaking through now.

only…

Judging from Xi's words, that True Dragon Marrow is probably not easy to obtain.

"Brother Chicken, of the seven prodigies you mentioned, how many are there in this Demon Selection Grounds?"

After spending this time together, Li Xiaobai completely let down his guard against the pheasant. Strangely enough, this seasoned veteran of the workplace, a seasoned office worker, and a salted fish, was completely unguarded around this pheasant.

They always speak their minds directly.

"Three."

The pheasant replied without hesitation, "Those are the pride of their clan. Of those seven demons, only three are at the third level of cultivation. They will definitely be brought in, but the others won't be able to."

"They say he's a prodigy of his kind, but in my opinion..." A smug smile crept across the pheasant's lips, completely forgetting the beating he'd suffered during the day.

"It's really not that great. It's been under construction for so many years, and it's still with us. If I ran into it, I'd go to its side!"

Li Xiaobai leaned against the earthen slope, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"To be called a clan-level prodigy, one must possess bloodline, talent, cultivation level, and potential—all three are indispensable. They should not be underestimated."

"Cheer up! I really need your help this time. I'm determined to get my hands on that True Dragon Marrow. Consider it a huge favor I owe you, brother!"

"What are you saying, Brother Bai! What are you talking about, all this talk of human relationships? You're making it sound like we're from the human race. We don't care about that!"

"Well..." Pheasant scratched his head sheepishly, "...I have a question I'd like to ask you."
