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

"Good boy, you're very polite."

The old man gently patted Li Xiaobai's shoulder and helped him up.

Li Xiaobai was quite tall, a nine-foot man, while the old man, with his hunched back, only reached his chest.

But Li Xiaobai still felt a sense of oppression from the old man, as if he were facing towering mountains! Even though he couldn't sense the slightest bit of the old man's cultivation aura.

"Senior, may I ask who you are?"

Li Xiaobai was extremely cautious. This... could it be some kind of demon king? But it could be Tao Mu's father, or Kong Ling and Yuan Yuan's master!

"Just an old man who's forgotten his own name."

The old man looked at Li Xiaobai with a smile.

I don't know why! Although this little thing's origins are unknown, and it lowers the average quality of the entire demon race, the old man finds it increasingly fascinating!

Could it be... just as that ancestor said, that everything is predestined?

Li Xiaobai blinked, and the old man continued with a smile, "If you don't mind, call me Master Lu."

"Greetings, Lord Lu!" Li Xiaobai greeted warmly, then gently helped the old man up. "May I ask which demon king you are, Lord Lu? And what brings you to this junior?"

"Huh? You little brat."

The old man being helped was clearly pleased: "He was arrogant and domineering in the Demon Selection Grounds and didn't do anything demonic, but now he's so obedient."

Li Xiaobai gave an awkward smile and remained silent.

His own dirty tricks! They were all seen!

"I am not the Demon King." The old man glanced at Li Xiaobai and said, "Alright, stop guessing. I am the current priest of the demon race."

"High Priest?!"

Li Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat! An existence that surpasses even the Demon King!

Why did he contact me?!

There are quite a few shady things about me. First of all, I am essentially a human soul. Secondly, I have a system in my head. I hope I won't be treated as a spy and get rid of.

"Hmm, don't be afraid. All living beings in the world have their own opportunities and destinies. This old man won't make things difficult for you."

The high priest pointed to the garden: "Can you pull weeds?"

Still reeling from the shock, Li Xiaobai exclaimed, "Yes!"

Just kidding! When I was a kid in the village, I helped my grandparents pull weeds a lot. Everyone in the village said I was a sensible and well-behaved child.

This kind of farm work is a piece of cake!

"Go and pluck that patch. After you're done, stay for a meal. After that, you can stay in my garden for a while. You can also ask me about matters related to cultivation."

As he spoke, the high priest's cloudy old eyes reflected Li Xiaobai's face, as if... he wanted to see right through Li Xiaobai!

But in the end, nothing was discerned.

It's just a demon with an eighth-grade bloodline, but its intelligence is exceptionally high! And its physical body is also remarkable.

This species of snake has never appeared on the entire Divine Continent. Could it be... a new species?

"Okay!"

Li Xiaobai was happy.

I transmigrated into a snake! I became the disciple of a top-tier expert!!!

Those demon kings, who would dare mess with me now?! Wuhu, take off!

But Li Xiaobai happily ran to the spot that Master Lu pointed to, squatted down, and started pulling weeds with great effort.

The high priest continued to hoe the ground, working hard, while wondering to himself.

What exactly is this?

He searched through his memories and ancient texts of the demon race, but there was no such snake!

Now, face to face, he was certain that Li Xiaobai was not some immortal soul undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm; his soul contained no immortal energy and was perfectly clean.

Li Xiaobai was not a spy for the human race! His soul did not contain any trace of the human race from the other side of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Moreover, his fate is no different from that of ordinary demons, but there must be something strange about him!

Otherwise, how could a snake with a bone age of less than two years possibly reach the late stage of the third rank, how could it hold so many spiritual herbs, and how could it have such high intelligence?

A wisp of divine soul energy, unnoticed even by Li Xiaobai, gently seeped into Li Xiaobai's sea of ​​consciousness, while Li Xiaobai was still diligently pulling weeds in the herb field.

I'll definitely do a great job on something the chairman personally assigned me! A junior employee who hasn't even started yet has already caught the chairman's eye. If I do this job well, even if I'm just a clerk or a driver, I'll be set for life!

Unbeknownst to Li Xiaobai, at this moment, wisps of digital light flickered in his sea of ​​consciousness, and this light... easily interfered with the divine sense that Master Lu was probing.

That is the most powerful being on this continent, surpassing the tenth rank and above the Tribulation Transcending stage!

Ten breaths later, Master Lu withdrew his divine sense, his old eyes already understanding.

"I see."

Under his detection, Li Xiaobai... was indeed a native, clumsy snake, and his divine sense could even trace back to when Li Xiaobai was formed inside the snake egg.

But... he didn't see Li Xiaobai's two older brothers and sisters.

He only saw that the place where the mother snake laid her eggs was very special, a naturally formed and blessed place! He could still find this place with his vast divine sense.

The mother snake laid a lone snake egg. During the incubation process, the earth's energy continuously nourished the snake egg, and there was also stalactite above the snake egg that would drip onto it every few days.

"So this is the bloodline mutation caused by such circumstances. No wonder I have never seen this kind of snake before. Nourished by the earth's warmth and tempered by the selenophore, it's not surprising."

"There is no trace of him practicing any martial arts techniques, and we don't know where he picked up that sword. Although this child is exceptionally intelligent, he has never practiced any martial arts techniques. It is truly remarkable that he has managed to do this."

Lord Lu withdrew his divine sense and stopped paying attention.

System: "x∧x"

The high priest, having figured everything out, was somewhat disappointed.

He... originally thought Li Xiaobai was a celestial soul undergoing trials in the mortal realm, but who knew he was just a little snake with mutated bloodline!

However... it's alright, at least the demon race has gained another prodigy.

"Little Bai, I intend to take you as my second... Hmm?!"

The next instant! Master Lu's eyes widened in horror! In just a short while, Li Xiaobai had uprooted two acres of land!

That area was filled with the spirit herb seeds that I had just sown, all of them at least grade five or higher! But what about Li Xiaobai?

Damn it, not a single weed was pulled out, and not a single herb was left! How are you so good at pulling them out?!

Li Xiaobai was working hard when he heard Lu Ye's voice coming from afar. He quickly looked up, only to find that Lu Ye was right in front of him.

"Hehe, Master Deer, do you think I've pulled them clean?"

Li Xiaobai proudly displayed his handsome face, eager to claim credit.

This area is so easy to pick! Those herbs, which are at least grade three in efficacy, must be spiritual herbs, even though he doesn't recognize them.

As for those little seedlings? They were very tender, and he even secretly ate some. They had no taste, so they must have been weeds!

Deer Master's face darkened: "From what you're saying, you're very capable, very good at pulling things out, huh?"

"Just kidding! I'm super good at it, okay? I'm amazing at pulling..."

Suddenly! Li Xiaobai stared blankly at the "weed" seedling in his hand. Wait a minute, this thing... seems a bit like the spiritual medicine he'd eaten before, the taste... is the same...

Wait a minute! I pulled it out myself…

"Gurgle~"

Li Xiaobai's Adam's apple bobbed: "Deer, Master Deer..."
