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

"And you still say it's not a defective product!!"

Despite being writhing in agony, Li Xiaobai continued to thrash about. The gratitude he had felt for the bowl of noodles his grandmother had just given him vanished completely: "They're all dead! I'm not a host anymore, I'm a survivor!!"

[Please watch your words, host. This system does not wish to self-destruct on your birthday.]

Li Xiaobai: "…………"

After an unknown amount of time, the excruciating pain gradually subsided and receded like the tide.

Where Li Xiaobai used to sit cross-legged, now only a pile of black robes scattered on the ground remains.

The clothes moved slightly, and a round little head peeked out from the collar, its big, watery eyes full of confusion.

"All my Awakening Points are gone after just one bloodline upgrade?!"

Li Xiaobai's big eyes revealed shame and indignation.

Most importantly! Get your evolved bloodline ready! How long has it been?! Even pheasants have grown so big by now, while my true form is still less than forty centimeters long!

[Bloodline] Purple Moon Dragon Python (Mutant)

Whose python is that?! A giant python! The size of that!

To be fair, Li Xiaobai, who is 39.7 centimeters long, completely emerged from the collar, and his appearance is indeed quite good.

Its slender and powerful body is covered with crescent-shaped purple scales, adorned with gold and black patterns, adding a touch of nobility and dominance!

On its back, there were small, pointed protrusions resembling dragon fins! Li Xiaobai turned its head, flicked its pink tongue, and stared blankly at its own body.

How cool would it be if I were ten or even dozens of meters tall...

"Knock knock knock!!"

"Thump thump thump thump!!! Boss Snake! Something's happened, something really bad has happened!!"

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

Li Xiaobai quickly swung its tail and burrowed into the clothes.

"Come in."

The demon hurriedly pushed open the door and saw a demon cultivator in black robes sitting cross-legged in the simply furnished room.

Her long, dark hair, tinged with purple, was casually tied up. Her face was fair and handsome, and although she was not large in stature, and even her bloodline was of a lower rank than his, she gave him a suffocating sense of oppression!

He had been nervous, but the moment he saw Li Xiaobai, he calmed down.

Li Xiaobai appeared calm as a snake, but his heart was pounding! Thankfully, he transformed quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to maintain his image as a large snake...

If this guy's true identity is revealed, won't Chicken and his gang laugh themselves to death?

"Ma Chang."

A faint smile appeared on Li Xiaobai's lips: "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

Ma Chang was a henchman under Ma Hu, with a mid-stage third-tier cultivation level, which was not particularly remarkable.

He was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Boss Snake would actually remember his name.

"Boss Snake! Didn't you send demons to cultivate the land? The crops are almost grown! That thing that looks just like the grains that mortals eat actually has effects comparable to a fourth-grade spiritual medicine!"

Ma Chang speaks extremely fast.

A fourth-grade spiritual medicine! That's not low.

And that's a huge patch of Grade 4 spiritual herbs!

"Donkey Boss, Chicken Master, Turtle Master, and Cat Master also valued it highly, but this morning, a group of demons rushed over, determined to steal the spiritual herbs from the ground! Donkey Boss rushed over as soon as he received the news."

What?

Li Xiaobai's eyes turned cold.

He hadn't expected that the God of Agriculture's rice could be comparable to a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, but that didn't matter. He planned to use the rice to brew wine and sell it, which was a more lucrative way to make a fortune than selling his cave dwelling.

Is there someone, or some demon, cutting off Master Bai's path to wealth?!

Ma Chang continued, "But those demons were incredibly powerful, and in just over two months, Boss Donkey's injuries hadn't even healed before they injured him again."

"A significant amount of those medicinal herbs were also stolen. If Master Turtle and the others hadn't arrived in time, our losses would have been enormous!"

"Master Chicken told me to come find you right away and ask you to make a decision."

Li Xiaobai stood up, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

It's been over two months already? Besides, Ma Hu is extremely strong! Even if he was hit by me and isn't fully recovered yet, it shouldn't be this bad.

It seems... the visitors are definitely up to no good!

Damn it! On the territory of a third-tier demon, there's still a demon who dares to touch my things, Li Xiaobai's! Don't they even bother to go to the east and find out what Master Bai does?!

"Boss Snake, those are all fourth-grade spiritual herbs..."

Ma Chang looked dejected; he had never seen so many spiritual herbs in his life! Several acres of them! Each demon tended only a small patch, nurturing them exceptionally well!

The rice ears were heavy, and those beasts stole so much of them.

"I don't care, I'll make them throw it all up."

Before Li Xiaobai could finish speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Beside the rice paddy, Ma Hu was sitting cross-legged, healing his wounds.

Gan An, Gong Baiwan, and the three pheasant demons stared grimly at the flattened corner of the mountain. Several of the demon workers hired by Li Xiaobai had also been injured.

Even some of the most prominent thugs from Happy Forest arrived, all looking on with heartache at the lost rice.

They originally thought that Boss Snake was just messing around with farming, but who knew that what he grew was as effective as a fourth-grade spiritual medicine! Why didn't Boss Snake tell them earlier?

If they had known this stuff was this important, they wouldn't have bothered guarding the restaurant! They should have been watching the herb field!

Even Gong Baiwan and Gan An looked extremely grim.

They originally thought Li Xiaobai's promise to help them make money was just empty talk, and Gong Baiwan was even ready to leave! Who knew that Li Xiaobai would actually produce such a large batch of fourth-grade spiritual herbs.

"C!!"

The pheasant cursed fiercely, but before he could say anything, he felt a blur before his eyes.

Li Xiaobai appeared out of thin air. He looked around with a gloomy face, and finally his gaze settled on Ma Hu, who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the field, healing his wound with a hideous gash on his chest.

"Who did it?"

Li Xiaobai turned his head.

"Brother Bai! It's that group..."

"Pheasant!"

At this moment, Ma Hu suddenly interrupted Shan Ji. His face was pale, and he stood up with weak steps. He looked at Li Xiaobai with a hint of shame on his face.

"It's my fault. We arrived early enough, but we still suffered significant losses."

"I'm asking you, who did it?"

Ma Hu remained silent, but Shan Ji quickly interjected, "Brother Xiao Bai! A bunch of bastards! I'm telling you, Old Donkey, what are you afraid of? Some old codger who can't even survive in fourth-tier territory is being their backer!"

"With the few of us together, do you think we're afraid of them?!"

Fourth-tier support?

Li Xiaobai's expression grew even more somber.

He stepped forward and, without saying a word, stuffed the healing pill he had won in the lottery into Ma Hu's mouth.

Feeling the rich medicinal power flow down his throat and into his stomach, his injuries were healing rapidly.

Pills! These are pills! And quite precious healing pills at that! He... just ate them himself?

Only after his injuries improved did Li Xiaobai breathe a sigh of relief, and he looked up at Ma Hu.

Do you know where you went wrong?
