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

At this moment, Li Xiaobai also "struggled" to get up.

Most male cultivators of the demon race are strong and powerful with resolute faces. Even if they can shed all their original characteristics and resemble Yuan Yuan and Tao Mu, they are still absolute macho men.

It's really rare to see someone with Li Xiaobai's style!

Sure enough, Li Xiaobai's handsome face was sickly pale, with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. Coupled with his disheveled clothes and dark hair, the brokenness of the little white flower was simply overwhelming.

Especially when he spoke, his voice was six parts aggrieved, three parts powerless, and even a little bubbly: "Thank you for saving my life, Senior Kong."

Kong Ling's eyes widened instantly! A blush crept onto her face, which, while not stunningly beautiful, was nonetheless pleasing to the eye.

Not counting the time she spent in the egg, she was just a young female peacock in her twenties or thirties!

"Ahem...ahem! No need for such formalities."

Tao Mu and Yuan Yuan, however, glanced at Li Xiaobai with some disdain.

This thing is probably someone's pet that has become sentient! Look at how weak it looks, even though it's only at the third rank, it keeps calling people "senior". This kind of thing is the easiest to be looked down upon in the demon race!

"Fellow Daoist, what exactly did you obtain that makes him relentlessly pursue you?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Yuan Yuan's eyes.

He's just a wild demon after all. Even if he's reached the third rank, he's not very promising! He's probably willing to fight to the death over a mere third-grade spiritual herb.

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan's voice became sarcastic: "Could it be a third-grade or fourth-grade spiritual herb?"

Li Xiaobai glanced at the water monkey. It looked quite human, so why couldn't it speak human language? What the hell are you talking about?

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, not all beings of our demon race are born into the Demon Forest!"

Kong Ling gave Yuan Yuan a warning look, and the water monkey fell silent.

These two things! One is the Demon King's personal disciple, and the other is the Demon King's own son! Are they talking about me?

And that Kong Ling, he's a damn love-struck bastard! What's so interesting about that pretty boy?

Li Xiaobai then gave Kong Ling a grateful look.

At this moment, Brother Xiaobai clutched his chest warily, but facing the gazes of the three great geniuses from the three major clans, he finally seemed unable to withstand the pressure and sighed softly as if resigned to his fate.

"Seniors, I know that some opportunities are beyond the reach of a wild demon like me with no background or strength, but you three! Not only did you not crush me the moment we met, but Senior Kong even protected me."

"I'll take this thing from you, I accept it!"

Even Tao Mu gave Li Xiaobai a deep look.

It's just one fourth-grade spiritual herb, why make such a big deal out of it? Is life really that hard for wild demons?

"No need, you..." Before Kong Ling could finish speaking, her slightly emerald-green eyes widened instantly!

Even Tao Mu and Yuan Yuan, who were initially full of disdain, instantly stood up. What did they see?!

A mass... enveloped in essence blood, which is why it didn't emit any aura! A spiritual herb that's no more than a fourth-grade rank, and he's going to such lengths?

But in the next instant, as the essence blood dissipated, an aura that seemed to contain endless creation rushed towards us!

Even the most knowledgeable and experienced clan-level prodigies were completely devastated at this moment! Rank 8! Rank 8 spiritual herbs! And there were two of them!

"This...this...!!" Yuan Yuan pointed incoherently at the elixir in Li Xiaobai's arms.

As the aroma of the medicinal herb wafted towards them, they could clearly see Li Xiaobai's injuries rapidly healing. What vitality, what medicinal power!

No wonder that chicken was chasing you so much!

That chicken still has no backbone; it went soft when it encountered the three of us.

Damn, this is an eighth-grade spiritual herb! If it were me, even if three fourth-tier demons came, I would still have to touch it!

"Cloud-Evening Grass, Thousand-Moon Flower! Grade Eight! Grade Eight spiritual herbs! Such quality, such age! Even the Demon Emperor would be reluctant to part with them!"

This is an eighth-grade spiritual herb, and it can directly temper the body. Cloud Evening Grass can greatly enhance the physical body and has a miraculous effect that can be described as a complete transformation.

Needless to say, the Thousand Moon Flower, if properly refined, can even directly enhance the bloodline purity of demon race beings! This is a true treasure, rarely seen even once in a thousand years, no, ten thousand years…

Faced with such a treasure, Kong Ling instantly felt that Li Xiaobai wasn't actually that good-looking; he was just average and uninteresting.

The other two, however, were already filled with murderous intent!

But the killing intent vanished in an instant.

Li Xiaobai carefully held the two spiritual herbs, took off his outer robe, spread it on the ground, and then placed the herbs on the blood-stained robe with a look of reluctance and care.

He murmured to himself, "This is my final act of protection."

After saying this, he glanced longingly at the two spiritual herbs that were exuding vitality and medicinal power without restraint, took a few steps back, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Three seniors, these two treasures... I obtained them with my life on the line! Now, I entrust them entirely to you."

"I ask for nothing more than the protection of the three seniors, that they may... allow me to enter the Demon Forest and no longer suffer this pain of being helpless and alone."

As he spoke, Li Xiaobai tilted his head back at a forty-five-degree angle, his cheek meeting the shimmering light of the stalactites. A tear slid down his perfect jawline, carrying a hint of helplessness and resentment, yet also a touch of otherworldly grace.

Especially from Kong Ling's perspective, the angle is even more tricky!

Kong Ling's watery eyes flickered. Hmm! This demon is fine; he's sincere!

Tao Mu's Adam's apple bobbed.

Hmm, no problem! What are they doing with a heavily injured mid-stage Tier 3?

Li Xiaobai is no longer important; what matters is…

Tao Mu's gaze swept over Kong Ling and Yuan Yuan, and suddenly, a soft laugh broke the silence.

"Fellow Daoist Kong Ling, you are Lord Chi Li's personal disciple, and you were the one who saved this fellow Daoist first. This eighth-grade spiritual herb... should include one of yours."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan turned around and glared at Tao Mu, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Hey? Aren't you my best brother?

Then Yuan Yuan felt Tao Mu pat him on the shoulder: "Brother, as your older brother, I shouldn't argue with you, we're like brothers!"

"But you've already taken that precious dragon medicine, and I didn't try to take it from you, right? And I didn't ask for an exorbitant price either, right? So, I'll share some more spiritual herbs with you, and I'll gladly accept the Thousand Moon Flower."

Kong Ling glanced at Tao Mu, secretly pursed her lips, but said nothing.

The Thousand Moon Flower is not as useful to her as the Cloud Evening Grass, but it's different for Tao Mu! If he takes the Thousand Moon Flower back and carefully cultivates it for thousands of years, it might really be able to recreate the ferocious power of the Taotie!

Forget it, let him win.

But Yuan Yuan wouldn't have it, and he swept the hand off his shoulder.

"Brothers? Brothers would want half my fortune?"

"Such a great opportunity is right before me, and you think you can make me give it up with just a few words, and settle this dispute with a single sentence?! Let alone you, Tao Mu!"

With reddened eyes, Yuan Yuan stared at the two Rank 8 spiritual herbs: "Today! Even if Lord Tao Cheng himself comes! I, Yuan, will not easily give up this opportunity!"
