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

"Hey!!"

Li Xiaobai quickly took out the snacks he had put in his storage ring and handed them to Master Lu.

"You mean to knock me out after trying to straighten my bones? This student has a high pain tolerance!"

Lord Deer, meanwhile, munched on his snacks with a contented air: "I've never seen a swordsman among the demon race before in all my years of life. This is of no help to you."

"You may ask me about your cultivation."

Li Xiaobai didn't stand on ceremony and began asking about some minor problems he had with cultivation.

Actually, he wasn't too troubled, since his cultivation level was almost entirely raised using Enlightenment Points. He asked some questions, and then subtly hinted at things he didn't quite understand.

Those things... are naturally from the Dragon's Origin Manual!

The high priest patiently and softly explained these things, which were quite obscure even to him, but which he happened to know.

His answer truly benefited Li Xiaobai greatly.

Here Li Xiaobai sat cross-legged in front of the high priest.

He still exuded the demonic aura that belonged to him, carrying the pure spirit of the mountains and fields, but upon deeper comprehension, there was also a wisp of Daoist charm, like a gentle breeze from beyond the heavens.

The high priest began to grit his teeth.

You freaking demon! What kind of cultivation do you practice? Tell me, what kind of cultivation do you practice?!

It seems to be even more orthodox than those ancient human Taoist priests, a true orthodox Taoist practice! No, how can a demon like you cultivate such a thing?

And yet, he actually mastered it, and it perfectly matched his destiny, aura, and even his physical body! Has a traitor emerged from the demon race?

If he hadn't been certain that this little guy wasn't a human spy, he probably would have sent the little thing away by now.

As for why he knows some of the Taoist techniques and even their core code?

Because those Taoist priests have been hunting down and harming the demon race since ancient times! Their control over the demon race, the ghost race, and even the corpse race is truly unparalleled…

But those ancient Taoist priests were also strange; most of them only killed demons and ghosts entangled in evil energy, but they had a strong desire to convert ordinary people.

Moreover, those ancient Taoist priests did not participate much in tribal conflicts, but when the continent suffered calamities, they would carry their swords and leave the mountains to protect the lives of the continent with their own flesh and blood.

They are even willing to risk the extinction of their lineage, a quality that all living beings admire.

He, Lu, once swallowed his pride and followed an ancient Taoist priest, all for the sake of a fortuitous encounter! He wouldn't want to lose face as a demon.

But you're just a little snake...

That's it.

Finally, the high priest packed Li Xiaobai up and took him to his senior sister's place.

The high priest, who hadn't broken down in a long time, rubbed his face, and... a smile actually appeared on his face.

"I am certain that this child... is a blessing in disguise."

...............

It wasn't until Li Xiaobai was completely sent out of the herb garden that he finally recovered.

"A single conversation with a wise man is worth more than ten years of study... I used to think this was just bragging, but today I truly understand it."

Li Xiaobai's eyes were clear and bright.

That feeling of sudden enlightenment was truly incredibly comforting!

However… he shamelessly asked Master Lu for resources, but Master Lu not only refused but also told him to get lost…

Soon, following a very pretty bunny-eared girl, Li Xiaobai arrived at Xi's territory.

It was very close to the Ancestral Demon Cave, and Li Xiaobai originally wanted to go and take a look at the Ancestral Demon Cave, but the rabbit-eared girl kept calling him "Little Martial Uncle" and kicking him.

"Junior Uncle, taking action was a last resort, but even though you are the High Priest's personal disciple, you are not allowed to enter the Ancestral Demon Cave without permission!"

"Otherwise, I really will kill you."

Li Xiaobai: "..."

"Junior Uncle, this is where I'll see you off. You are a true member of the demon race, and you will surely surpass the young lady. Don't embarrass the High Priest."

The bunny-eared girl stared intently at Li Xiaobai.

Li Xiaobai scratched his head: "Why do I have to surpass her?"

"Because Miss is not a demon." The rabbit-eared girl glanced at the small courtyard surrounded by the stream in the distance, her voice carrying a tone that Li Xiaobai disliked.

"Even if she received the High Priest's personal instruction, she was destined not to inherit the High Priest's mantle. Let alone that she is not a demon, even if she were a human who had defected, we would accept it. But alas... she is a bastard."

"Junior Uncle, you must live up to his expectations. You... are the High Priest's only disciple."

Suddenly, Li Xiaobai turned around.

He looked down at the rabbit-eared girl: "Senior."

"This servant dares not," the rabbit-eared woman quickly bowed.

Li Xiaobai didn't even look at the ravine. The rabbit, probably several hundred years old, must have been mated with countless male rabbits and had countless litters of baby rabbits before it became a spirit.

He wasn't interested.

But a gentle smile still curved his lips: "So, you did know you were a servant girl."

"Wh...what?"

The bunny-eared girl was dumbfounded.

But Li Xiaobai grabbed her ear, and even though he was only a peak third-tier cultivator, she dared not resist in the slightest because of his status…

She was once the High Priest's virgin, and because of that, she could even discipline Li Xiaobai when he broke the rules.

But! As long as Li Xiaobai doesn't break the rules, no matter what he does to her, she wouldn't dare to have the slightest thought of resistance.

"To put it nicely, you're the teacher's virgin; to put it bluntly, you're just a slave. Who gave you the audacity... to speak ill of the high priest, your eldest disciple?"

Li Xiaobai's smile grew even gentler, but his grip was very strong.

Blood was already seeping from the soft, long base of those ears.

"And who gave you, a mere servant, the audacity to sow discord among the High Priest's disciples?"

"I am your junior uncle, my senior sister... what should you call me?"

Suddenly! Li Xiaobai's gentle smile turned completely cold and fierce!

His head contains a human soul, but... aren't humans living beings too? The difference between them and demons, or even wild beasts, is that they have a little more intelligence, and that intelligence tells them the difference between intelligence and human intelligence?

Li Xiaobai, in order to survive, once ate raw meat and drank blood in the Hundred Thousand Mountains! In a short time, the blood on his hands was incomparable to that of those geniuses; he truly fought his way up from the very bottom.

Moreover, he didn't approve of Xi's character, but... he sympathized with Xi's plight.

From what Master Lu said, he could tell that even though Xi possessed great power, even though she was persecuted so much, and perhaps almost became the medicine or even the furnace for those powerful people, she... never took anyone's life.

Surely a person like that isn't inherently bad?

Such a person shouldn't be called a bastard.

"What's your name?"

Li Xiaobai pressed further, "Should it be called a bastard?!"

"Snap!!"

One of the rabbit's ears was forcibly ripped off.

Blood gushed from the rabbit-eared girl's head, yet she could only kneel gracefully. Li Xiaobai couldn't even see a trace of resentment in her eyes, only fear.

She even started slapping herself: "Junior Uncle, please forgive me! Junior Uncle, please forgive me! It was my fault for being so talkative..."

Tsk, isn't it said that a rabbit will bite when cornered?

Li Xiaobai wiped his hands with his rabbit ears: "Sorry, senior, I don't want to hear anything like that again."

"Huh? How did you get your ear in my hands?"

The bunny-eared girl looked up and stammered, "It was...it was my mistake that I tore it off..."
