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

"Yuan Yuan, have you gone mad?"

Tao Mu's eyes turned completely cold.

"Are you crazy? You think you can make me hand it over with just a few words?" Yuan Yuan sneered.

He believed he had a close relationship with both of them, and that he would even give up a sixth-grade spiritual medicine with reluctance!

But... but this is an eighth-grade spiritual medicine! A single Cloud Evening Grass can greatly enhance the physical body and soul, an effect that all demon races dream of.

The Thousand Moon Flower can even purify the bloodline of living beings! For the demon race, who possess the bloodline of exotic beasts, it is almost a supreme sacred object!

The High Priest can send something like this to the Demon Selection Grounds, so it must be for them! We are all clan-level prodigies, why should I give way to you?

Not to mention that I have worked my way up to my current position since I was a child. In terms of strength, you are no match for me, and in terms of ruthlessness, I am far superior to you!

Seeing the two of them about to clash, Kong Ling rolled her eyes and continued to admire Li Xiaobai sitting there cross-legged.

Wow, it's so beautiful!

"And you! Kong Ling, stop pretending! Do you think you can just stand aside when faced with such an opportunity?"

Yuan Yuan's powerful demonic aura, accompanied by a terrifying pressure, began to surge: "In the Demon Selection Grounds, you cannot kill members of your own kind above the third rank, but you can freely seize opportunities and fortunes! Use any means necessary!"

"Are you perhaps planning to take advantage of our struggle, to snatch up the spoils while you're at your peak?!"

Kong Ling, who was admiring the handsome man, was stunned. She pointed to herself and said, "Me?"

"That's right, Kong Ling. You didn't put in enough effort when you were nourishing the spiritual herbs earlier. It seems that even without these two Rank 8 spiritual herbs, you had this intention all along." Tao Mu had also calmed down completely.

Kong Ling: "????"

Are you guys fucking crazy? I was just watching for a bit, what did I do to deserve this?

"Fine, fine, you want to keep it all for yourself, huh?"

Kong Ling shifted his gaze from Li Xiaobai: "Let's be direct, men! Let's get to work! Those standing, take the elixir; those lying down, go eat your ass!"

Tao Mu, Yuan Yuan: "!!!!"

"The heart of a vixen is the most venomous! I knew you, Peacock, were up to no good! Come on then!"

"Heh, young master... I've been wanting to test my skills against you two for a long time!"

The ship of friendship capsized instantly! In that vast cavern, the three major clans' top talents instantly clashed in battle!

Tao Mu made sure to keep the battle group away from the spiritual herbs they had been nurturing for so long, Yuan Yuan made sure to divert his spiritual power to protect the two rank-eight spiritual herbs, Kong Ling...

Kong Ling didn't forget to use a gentle touch to send Li Xiaobai out of the cave...

Two demons: "..."

Damn it, we've been trying our best to please you, even though you're just average-looking, but... is this how you treat us differently?

Could it be that the demon race's aesthetic sense has really changed? Has the world progressed that fast?!

Then, they began to use lethal force.

Smelling the fragrance of the eighth-grade spiritual medicine, the three clan-level prodigies fought a battle that was both highly entertaining and lethal!

As the battle intensified, the three demons, having exhausted themselves and suffered considerable injuries, failed to notice...

A giant snake, 39 centimeters long, stealthily crawled in through a crack in the cave.

And then, with a thud, it bit into the herb containing the true dragon's marrow, swished its short tail, and turned to crawl away.

"Where did this little brat come from, stealing the elixir!"

Yuan Yuan panicked; this was what he wanted to present to his master!

"Pfft!!" In his haste, Kong Ling slapped him squarely on the chest.

That's nothing but a precious medicine tainted with dragon energy; it's useless to her! What she wants is the Cloud Dusk Grass! Oh, and now, the Thousand Moon Flower too!

Tao Mu didn't care at all. Seeing his good brother injured, he decided to kick his good brother out first, and then have a showdown with this crazy woman who valued women over friends.

But... as Li Xiaobai left, the system's disguise began to fail.

Not only did the fragrance of an eighth-grade spiritual herb and the vitality of an eighth-grade spiritual herb vanish without a trace, but it also emitted an extremely pungent smell of inferior rubber.

The three demons stopped fighting and, panting heavily, began to stare intently at the eighth-grade spiritual herb…

With reddened eyes, Yuan Yuan grabbed a "Thousand Moon Flower" and took a bite. Before Kong Ling and Tao Mu could react, Yuan Yuan's gaze faltered: "Fake...fake?"

Three Demons:

"what?"

"Um??"

Holy crap!!!

Then, the scene from before unfolded.

Li Xiaobai transformed the pheasant into his true form, rode on its back, and swallowed the spiritual herb that was the incarnation of the True Dragon Marrow in one gulp!

[Ding~ Host detected consuming True Dragon Marrow, Apocalypse Points +1!]

Li Xiaobai: "Woo~"

A violent power began to surge through his eight extraordinary meridians! The blood of Li Xiaobai's entire snake was boiling!

Logically speaking, with his cultivation level... let alone the True Dragon Marrow, even if a True Dragon spat out a mouthful of phlegm, he would drown if he soaked in it!

Especially since it was a snake, something of a true dragon, for such a creature it was both a blessing and a curse.

But Li Xiaobai is a snake with a cheat code!

This is mainly reflected in the process of him absorbing the True Dragon Marrow... most of his power was stolen by his cheat, and without his knowledge.

Of course, the system retains the essence of the true dragon marrow. It believes that it is intentional to retain some of it, and that preserving the essence will not affect the original flavor of the true dragon marrow.

Li Xiaobai: "Spicy."

It burns my throat and my stomach! Wait, it smells so good, why is it so spicy!

However, the surging power within him erupted, forcing him to begin cultivating again—something Li Xiaobai hadn't anticipated...

Three more clan-level prodigies, whose anger levels had reached their peak, were chasing after him!

They've already escaped to the outskirts, and they're still chasing them! Li Xiaobai saw it; the crocodile he encountered in the Ten Thousand Mountains had just met Yuan Yuan's gaze when Yuan Yuan stomped it into a pulp.

That's fucking unreasonable! Poor egg I left outside, it lost its mother right after it was born. I should have eaten it all.

"Brother Bai! They're catching up! Let's fight all three of them!"

The pheasant was full of fighting spirit.

"Hey! Brother Bai, don't cultivate right now!"

The pheasant looked as if it had lost its parents!

He's really not as fast as those three; he can't outrun them...

"You beasts! You've all conspired to rip me off!"

"Beast! Hand over the elixir, or I, Yuan, will skin you alive! How dare you steal the Demon King's possession?!"

"You...you beautiful beast! To commit such petty theft, what a waste of your face! I'll tear you apart!"

The pheasant's feathers were all standing on end.

No, this can't go on. If those three bastards catch up, Brother Xiaobai might lose his life!

Little White Brother ate that elixir! He didn't share a single drop with him! If Yuan Yuan finds out, he'll really kill Little White Brother.

Even if they broke the rules and killed Brother Xiaobai, they wouldn't lose their lives because of their identities, but Brother Xiaobai is just a wild snake!

Thinking it over, a resolute look appeared in the pheasant's eyes.

Damn it! I'll give it my all!

At worst, we can hold out until Brother Xiaobai wakes up and let these three bastards see just how big a snake they've offended!
