Demonic Demoness Training Project

Lu Ling revealed a mysterious smile. She quietly leaned close to Lu Li's ear and uttered four words in a clear and distinct voice.

"Benefits, strengthens essence, and aids yang."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."

Lu Li coughed lightly. How come he never noticed before that this girl spoke so shamelessly?

"I don't need that kind of thing."

"I know, you don't need it, hee~"

"Hey, what are you laughing at! Hmm~"

Just as Lu Li was about to retort, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation surge from his lower body, as if a tree demon was taking root, sprouting, and slowly growing stronger. Lu Li secretly thought that something was wrong. How could he have imagined that the effects of the Pure Heart Pear would be so terrifying?

Azure Netherworld Skin Lock, suppress it!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Heavy thuds came from below. The Azure Netherworld Skin that Lu Li had always relied on was no longer effective this time.

In just a few breaths, the tree demon evolved into an ancient beast. The Azure Nether Painted Skin was like a thin film in its eyes, easily broken at the slightest touch. It only stopped growing when it reached the size of an adult's arm.

Lu Li twisted his body, pulling the hem of his clothes down as far as possible, trying to conceal the presence of the ancient beast.

Fortunately, Lu Ling wasn't looking in this direction. Her attention was drawn to the noise outside the window, and the lights outside illuminated her face, making her eyes sparkle.

"It's so lively outside today, is something happening?"

“On my way back, I heard from someone that it seemed like some venerable one was holding a Dharma assembly.”

"Shall we go take a look?"

"No need, I have a feeling they're not good people."

As she spoke, Lu Ling grabbed Lu Li's elbow and gently shook it, acting coquettishly and persistently.

"Come on, come on, just take a look, nothing will happen."

Two soft mounds pressed against Lu Li's forearm, but Lu Li remained expressionless, standing still. He suddenly glared at Lu Ling, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"Have you forgotten why Mother brought our family to such a state? Haven't you made enough of a scene?"

"You, you're being mean to me."

"I said—have you made enough of a scene?"

Lu Li flung Lu Ling away, his voice suddenly turning cold. As soon as he finished speaking, a crack appeared in the corner of his vision.

Click~ Click~ Click~

The crack gradually widened, like a spider web, covering Lu Li's entire field of vision, until at a certain moment, the scene before him suddenly shattered.

At the same time, a metallic sweetness rose in Lu Li's mouth, and it seemed that the tip of his tongue had touched something foreign. Lu Li covered his mouth with his hand and spat out what was in his mouth.

Looking down, he saw some gravel and broken teeth. He licked around his mouth with his tongue and found that one of his upper left molars was broken.

He looked around blankly and realized that he had somehow ended up on the street.

Is it a hallucination?

When exactly...?

Just as Lu Li was confused, that familiar yet annoying voice rang in his mind.

"Oh! My disciple, you're finally awake! It wasn't for nothing that I called you a thousand times. If I hadn't woken you up, you'd be..."

"When did you call me?"

"Didn't you hear me? I've been trying to wake you up."

"No."

"How is this possible? That's a third-tier Soul Dao artifact, the [Water Moon Mirror Splendor]. How could you possibly break free with just a first-tier Great Dream Profound Pivot?"

Chapter 76 In dreams, one knows one is a guest; upon waking, do not laugh at those who are merely actors in a play.

"If I had to pinpoint how to break free... it would actually be related to you."

"Oh? I told you long ago, you can't live without me."

“I just felt that in that kind of situation, you would be very talkative and gossiping, but you didn’t say a word, so I suspected that it was fake.”

Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Elder Duan immediately flew into a rage.

"Bah! You unfilial disciple! What kind of talk is that?"

“I am not your apprentice, and I have never had a master named you.”

Lu Li clearly remembered that when his brother suddenly grew bigger, at this time in the past, Elder Duan would jump out and say something strange like, "Not bad, not bad, my good disciple has grown up. Your master is very pleased."

However, this did not happen, which is unreasonable.

Besides, there was another reason why he could tell it was fake, but he didn't say it and didn't intend to.

He didn't believe he would hit the jackpot, he didn't believe that sudden happiness existed in this world. Lost relatives returned, delicious spiritual fruits, rising ancient beasts... all of this came one after another. Lu Li couldn't believe that so many good things would happen to him for no reason.

Therefore, Lu Li concluded that there must be a trick involved.

Lu Li took off his goggles, rubbed his eyes, and the world became blurry. He put his goggles back on, and the world became clear again.

It was nighttime, yet the town was as bright as day, with a bright sun hanging high in the sky above its center, radiating a soft glow.

That thing must be what Elder Duan referred to as the Water Moon Mirror.

Recalling that he had just come down the mountain, Lu Li had seen that bright sun. Perhaps it was at that time that he was struck by the opponent's soul-path divine power.

Looking ahead, there was a square where an old Taoist priest in white robes sat cross-legged in mid-air. The old priest had lowered eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and slightly protruding pupils. He had a faint smile on his lips and behaved like a high-ranking monk.

At his feet stood many people, men and women, mortals and cultivators. Bathed in the sunlight, they swayed gently, their faces beaming with happiness.

Without a doubt, this person was the Venerable one that Qin Xiao had mentioned earlier. Seemingly sensing Lu Li's presence, the Venerable cast a glance at him and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"This junior was actually able to break free from my soul-path divine power. He must have some skill. I wonder which aristocratic family he is a descendant of."

The Venerable noticed Lu Li's White Moon Palace disciple robes and nodded slightly in greeting. The moment their eyes met, Lu Li's heart tightened, and he almost pulled out his uranium pill.

However, the other party showed no intention of making a move. He simply pressed his hands down and withdrew his soul-path divine power. The white sun behind him stopped shining and transformed into a pitch-black mirror, which was then taken into the Venerable's possession.

Lu Li was unsure whether the other party thought he was too weak to need to fight, or whether they didn't intend to do anything to him because of his status as a disciple of the White Moon Palace.

"This person has already entered the realm of creation. Do not confront him head-on. Find an opportunity to leave this place quickly. You have the identity of the White Moon Palace, and the relationship between the Tongxian Sect and the two sects is not bad. As long as you do not provoke him, he will not do anything to you."

A realm of creation!

Above the Puppet Master is the Open Source, then the Spiritual Pivot, and then the Creation Realm. This Venerable One is three major realms higher than him.

The gap between realms is like a chasm. Unless you have a high-level artifact to help you, killing enemies across realms is just a pipe dream. Lu Li experienced this firsthand when he faced the Zou family.

Lu Li forced himself to remain calm and stepped forward to bow with his hands clasped in greeting.

As expected, the old Taoist priest, known as the Venerable One, said nothing more. After withdrawing his supernatural powers, the people on the ground gradually regained their senses. Some looked at the Venerable One with excited and fanatical expressions, as if they had seen a living god. Others were still savoring the experience.

The Venerable One looked down at the crowd, his monkey mouth open, his voice hoarse yet gentle.

"Gentlemen, I just took you on a trip to the Pure Land of Bliss. What did you see?"

At this moment, a ragged, unaffiliated monk bowed deeply, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Reporting to the Venerable One, the Three Flowers Gather at the Top, achieving immortality and living as long as the heavens. Daoist Master... no, this junior has succeeded, I have truly become an immortal just now."

Immediately afterwards, a short, stout butcher licked his lips, his face full of enjoyment and ecstasy.

"I married the most beautiful girl in our brothel, and we went to the bridal chamber together. Then I married a rich young lady. Two days later, I married a fairy. Two days later, I married yet another fairy..."

Seeing that the butcher was going on and on, a member of the Tongxian Sect coughed and interrupted him.

"cough!"

Everyone chattered about what they had seen and felt, their faces beaming with excitement. The Venerable One nodded gently, his eyes filled with compassion.

Lu Li was about to sneak away when he heard the discussions behind him. He couldn't help but twitch his lips. He roughly guessed the effect of the puppet. That thing could make people see the people and things they most wanted to see.

These guys are really daring; by comparison, his dream seems far too conservative.

In this world, ordinary people and independent cultivators without connections often live very hard lives, struggling to survive every day. The illusion they just experienced was so real that it was too tempting for them.

The more chaotic the times, the more prevalent scams become; and the more impoverished people are, the more they place their hopes in vague and illusory beliefs.

Not to mention, these people also possess magical artifacts like the Water Moon Mirror Flower to use their supernatural powers to bewitch people.

If you're not involved, you might just think these people are foolish and ridiculous. But if you're in the thick of it, how can you tell the difference between truth and falsehood?

Lu Li discovered the trickery because he was used to keeping himself out of the situation and had seen too many scams in his two lifetimes.

A moment later, the Venerable One pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet and sit down. As soon as he did this, the once noisy square became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"What you just saw was not an illusion, but the blessing you will surely receive after you have achieved enlightenment. Qin Xiao, tell me, what is the purpose of our Tongxian Sect?"

"Reporting to the Venerable One, our Tongxian Sect aims to enable all people in the world to become immortals and attain enlightenment, freeing them from the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death, and allowing them to ascend to paradise."

"good."

"Venerable One, how can we attain enlightenment?"

"Only by giving up material possessions and donating to my teachings can one attain enlightenment."

Upon hearing that they were to donate money, everyone immediately felt disheartened, and the excitement on their faces quickly faded. Many even looked doubtful, but considering what they had just witnessed, they couldn't make up their minds.

Halfway there, Lu Li was suddenly confronted by a woman who was running towards him. The woman had disheveled hair and looked like she was insane. She brushed past Lu Li, rushed into the square, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Venerable One, thank you so much! My daughter is cured! Everyone, my daughter recently fell ill with a strange disease. Thanks to the Venerable One for sending someone to treat her and curing her. I am deeply grateful for the Venerable One's great kindness and virtue. I have no way to repay you. I wish to be a slave to the Tongxian Sect in my next life, no, starting from today."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and saw the woman kowtowing, making a clanging sound. She had a young child on her back. She put the child down, grabbed the child by the neck, and pressed the child's bewildered face to the ground.

"Little girl, call your benefactor."

The child, who looked only five or six years old, seemed timid upon seeing so many people around him. He stammered for a long time, unable to speak. The woman, seeing this, immediately panicked. She grabbed the child's ear and screamed:

"Go ahead and call me that! Call me your benefactor, and listen to me."

Under the woman's pressure, the child burst into tears. The Venerable One waved his hand and said calmly:

"It's alright, it's good that the child is alright."

At that moment, Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine. The scene before him seemed familiar. He was reminded of his own broken home by the mother and daughter.

The difference is that Lu Ling's illness was never cured by anyone from the Tongxian Sect.

He has never cried since he was born, not even once.

Chapter 77 Sincerity Moves All

"Venerable One, how much money do we need to donate to ascend to immortality?"

"Money is not about how much, but about your heart and whether it is sincere enough. As the saying goes, 'Where there is sincerity, even metal and stone can be moved.'"

The Venerable One's expression was one of indifference and lack of desire, but Lu Li silently rolled his eyes in his heart.

This sounds reasonable, but frankly, it means donating whatever you have. Back then, his mother donated all of their family fortune in this way.

These guys...

Lu Li remembered that when he faced a cultivator at the Open Source Realm, he swallowed the Uranium Pill, and it took a while to take effect.

The cultivators at the Creation Realm are too terrifying, especially since they are skilled in the Soul Dao. Lu Li was worried that he would be detected and killed by the opponent before he could even take out the Uranium Pill and swallow it.

He was quite certain of this, because he had truly experienced what it felt like to be a cultivator in the Creation Realm—spreading out a wisp of divine sense, he could control an area of ​​a hundred feet in radius, and unleash a punch from afar, instantly annihilating a cultivator in the Open Source Realm.

Moreover, he wasn't familiar with his own power at the time, and the punch he threw was completely overkill. If he really wanted to kill someone in the Open Source Realm, she would only need to move her finger.

Regardless, we still need to leave here first.

What does it have to do with him that these guys got scammed?

However, Lu Li couldn't understand why Lu Ling's illness was slow to improve, even though these guys clearly had the ability to cure the disease and his mother had donated so much money.

Following the unfamiliar streets, Lu Li found the inn, the furnishings of which were quite different from those in his previous hallucinations.
