Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#388 - Arrangements

After Xue Qiankun completely disappeared from sight, Zhongli Meiying slowly stood up, gently wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.

He knew that blindly confronting Li Chengfeng was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, seeking his own death.

Therefore, he decided to calm down, perfect his Taoist techniques, handle the internal affairs of the blood clan, and closely monitor Li Chengfeng's movements to maintain sufficient vigilance.

Thinking of Lou Xueyun's fall, Zhongli Meiying didn't feel much sadness, but rather a hint of unspeakable relief.

In his opinion, Lou Xueyun's schemes, although ingenious, ultimately fell into the category of third-rate tactics, which were worlds apart from Li Chengfeng's upright and open style.

Li Chengfeng used the contradictions between the major forces, standing in the open to let them kill each other, while he reaped the benefits, a wisdom and method that made Zhongli Meiying feel inferior.

Under Zhongli Meiying's careful management, the affairs of the blood clan gradually got back on track, while Li Chengfeng silently watched the dissipation of the power of the curse and the final annihilation of Lou Xueyun's soul.

He smiled, a subtle and complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

That faint wisp of soul was full of incomprehension, rage, and regret, but none of this could change the established facts.

Closing the Book of Sin, Li Chengfeng felt another surge of power within his body.

This trip to the curse not only gained him considerable power, but also further consolidated his cultivation through the consumption of the power of tracing origins.

Although he lost a hundred years of life, considering the eighty years of life returned by the Book of Sin, and the actual cost of only twenty years, he felt quite satisfied.

The evil god's method seemed increasingly reliable and tempting in Li Chengfeng's eyes.

He began to think about how to use this advantage to seek more benefits for himself.

He knew that the road to cultivation would become more difficult, and the resources required would be massive.

Fortunately, he obtained Leng Xiaoyao's pet ring, the abundance of resources inside was enough to amaze him.

Spirit stones, cultivation materials, ancient books on formations... these resources were priceless treasures in Li Chengfeng's eyes.

Especially the mountain of spirit stones, ranging from low-grade to top-grade, was enough to support his cultivation needs for a long time.

And the cultivation resources and ancient books on formations of those righteous cultivators were even more invaluable to him, with immeasurable value for improving his overall strength.

Looking at Leng Xiaoyao's storage ring in his hand, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but admire Leng Xiaoyao's generosity.

Leng Xiaoyao, on the other hand, knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. Now, his cultivation was sealed, and he was imprisoned here in the form of a three-inch nascent soul, unable to live or die.

Seeing Li Chengfeng's triumphant expression, how could he not feel heartbroken and anxious?

However, he thought again, those who go against the heavens will eventually be wiped out, and he was lucky to have a chance to survive.

What Li Chengfeng couldn't believe was that the treasures and storage rings of Nie Tian and the other five elders of the demon clan were all sacrificed to the evil god by the soul-引魂 killing explosion, which made him annoyed.

Fortunately, this Little Green Mountain had a deep foundation, enough to support his cultivation to the early stage of Core Formation, so there should be no major problems.

This time, he exhausted all his means and almost depleted all the spirit stones he had accumulated in the past, only to realize the importance of money.

Without money, it was difficult to maneuver and plan among the major forces, let alone provoke disputes.

Only then did Li Chengfeng deeply realize how difficult the road to resources was, and that he needed to plan carefully and not rush for quick success.

This harvest was quite rich, enough for him to live comfortably for decades, but he still yearned for the Xuan Guang Continent, where he could truly flex his muscles and transform the demon clan, evil dragon clan, and other forces into his own resources.

Seeing Li Chengfeng beaming with joy,

Leng Xiaoyao showed a look of disdain and questioned, "Li Chengfeng, what use do you have for keeping me? Why not just give me a quick death!"

He pleaded, "This kind of humiliation is a great shame to the Fire Demon Clan. Every time I see you so proud, my heart aches."

Li Chengfeng smiled without answering, and only said, "Leng Xiaoyao, you don't need to blame yourself.

If you weren't still useful, I would have killed you long ago.

Don't even think about relying on the remnant soul of the Fire Demon Clan to possess you, that's absolutely impossible.

You should know that I, as a Celestial Diviner, have the ability to directly curse and kill your remnant soul, just like I did with Lou Xueyun. Do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Leng Xiaoyao couldn't help but shudder, and the light in his eyes dimmed sharply.

He suddenly realized that Li Chengfeng did have the ability to kill his remnant soul, and fear arose spontaneously.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must live, even if it meant lingering on his last breath, he would try his best to please and flatter, appearing harmless to humans and animals.

He smiled flatteringly at Li Chengfeng and said, "Fellow Daoist, why not consider a cooperation? Killing me is just a matter of lifting a hand,

but what's the point? You and I have reached this level, why be trapped by the small benefits in front of us?

Our goal is the future. I am of great value in your hands, such as the Fire Demon Clan's defense, the Evil Dragon Clan's secrets, and the weak points of the Xuan Guang Continent, all of which I have mastered."

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Are you willing to betray your clan?"

Leng Xiaoyao chuckled and replied, "Of course, a man dies for wealth, and a bird dies for food.

Our demon clan doesn't care about trivial matters, we only live for ourselves, living openly and honestly.

As long as Fellow Daoist spares my life and promises to eventually let me live, I am willing to help Fellow Daoist drive the demon clan and evil dragon clan out of the human world."

He chuckled, glanced at the old demon beside him, and said, "This senior is my role model, even a remnant soul in the Tribulation Transcending stage respectfully calls him master, what's wrong with a character like me calling you master?"

He comforted himself.

The old demon glanced at him disdainfully and said, "How can you compare with me? What realm am I in, and what realm are you in?

Do you think my master will casually accept people as subordinates? You should take a look at yourself, it's ridiculous."

The old demon hated Leng Xiaoyao's attempt to ingratiate himself, and if Li Chengfeng hadn't found him useful, he would have devoured his soul long ago.

Leng Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Even if I'm a dog, let me have a way to live! I still have value, your master won't kill me.

If I have a chance, I will definitely make you regret it."

Frog Saint interrupted, "Stop arguing, it's giving me a headache, I'm going to cultivate."

He hopped away, excited that he learned that the little fox demon Yao Qi was also cultivating the 精挑万妖变, mistakenly thinking that he could be compared with her, but in fact, they were far apart. But this instead inspired his enthusiasm for cultivation.

Li Chengfeng glanced at Leng Xiaoyao contemptuously and said, "You think you're invaluable, but that's not the case.

I have a detailed plan to go to the Xuan Guang Continent, even without you.

However, since I have free time, Old Demon, you will be responsible for training him for a while and let him recognize reality."

Hearing this, the old demon's eyes lit up, and he quickly responded, "Master, don't worry, I guarantee that he will know everything and say everything when he gets to me, hehe."

The old demon's sneer made Leng Xiaoyao's nascent soul tremble, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging, "Master, Master, I would rather accept any task than be tortured by this old demon. Please give me a chance!"

Li Chengfeng was too lazy to pay attention and turned to leave. He wanted to focus on deducing the late-stage Foundation Establishment techniques to prepare for going to the Xuan Guang Continent and breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

The demon clan and evil dragon clan there would be valuable resources for his advancement.

The old demon chuckled, easily grabbed Leng Xiaoyao's nascent soul, and took him away, laughing as he walked, "Junior, now you understand why my master is so powerful and resourceful, right?

How can you easily fool him? If you don't know what's good for you, you may be wiped out at any time."

Leng Xiaoyao cried with a sad face, cupping his fists and begging for mercy, "Old Demon, Senior Old Demon, please don't torture me,

I will definitely obey your orders and recognize you as my master, okay?"

The old demon chuckled, ignoring his pleas, leaving only a series of pig-like screams.
