Chapter 25 Theory of Yokai, Bait

In the mountains.

The toad spirit, centipede spirit, and bat spirit are drinking and having fun.

"Haha, Your Majesty has captured seven Calabash Brothers, and we can refine the Seven Star Pills soon."

"If the king lives forever, we can also enjoy the blessings."

"When the time comes, the king will take us to Hangzhou City, where we will consume the blood and flesh of mortals, and we can live a carefree life for thousands of years."

"Speaking of which, our wine is really good. I felt dizzy after just a couple of sips, and I could barely hold the glass."

The three monsters were in high spirits and marveled at the power of the wine bestowed upon them by the king.

The monsters were dizzy and fell asleep immediately.

Only the most perceptive bat spirit suddenly frowned: "Something's wrong, we've been tricked!"

It tried to flap its wings and take off, but found its body stiff and fell to the ground.

At the same time, a sharp pain came from my chest!

A moment later...

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for defeating a level 12 toad demon, a level 16 centipede demon, and a level 20 bat demon. Dao Qi +48]

"Great, now I can reach level 20."

Xu Xian consumed 50 units of Qi and successfully leveled up.

[Level: 20]

[Physical Fitness: 95]

[Mana: 121]

[Divine Sense: 77]

Xu Xian checked his own condition and nodded.

"Very good, it has reached the level where it can perfectly refine the Xuanhuang Seven Star Pill."

"The seven gourd brothers were divided and disloyal. Although the snake and scorpion successfully captured them, they were unable to refine the Seven Star Pill."

"As long as the [Seven-Colored Lotus] is in my hands, I can be assured of safety."

"Next, we need to figure out how to deal with the two snake demons."

Both the snake spirit and the scorpion spirit are level 36 monsters.

The scorpion demon possesses a special innate ability called "Horse-Reversing Poison".

This poison is extremely potent; it can sting even those with great supernatural powers.

The snake spirit possesses a "hundred-fold exquisite heart," making her extremely intelligent and adept at scheming and plotting.

Besides their supernatural powers, the treasures possessed by the two demons should not be underestimated.

Especially that Ruyi scepter, which can be described as a magic weapon for controlling the scene.

Even though Xu Xian has reached level 20 and is familiar with the plot, he still needs to seek help.

Xu Xian naturally already had a target in mind.

Taurus or Bai Suzhen.

Taurus Star's foundation far surpasses that of the Snake and Scorpion Demons. Even if they were of similar level, Taurus Star's strength would be enough to suppress and kill the two demons.

Xu Xian hesitated.

Although he won over Taurus Star by making empty promises, this old ox is, after all, a celestial being, and he doesn't care about the consequences when he does things.

If the old ox gets really angry, he could swallow all seven gourd brothers and then storm the Heavenly Court.

Wouldn't that ruin Xu Xian's important plans?

Since Taurus Star is not an option, we can only rely on Bai Suzhen.

Thinking of this, Xu Xian went straight home.

At this point, Bai Suzhen had perfectly integrated into mortal life and become an extremely competent wife.

As Xu Xian gazed at Bai Suzhen's slender figure and her red lips gently blowing on the hot soup, his heart swayed with longing.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

While eating, Xu Xian talked about the strange things happening outside the mountains.

"I've heard that there are many precious medicinal herbs in the mountains south of the city. I want to go up the mountain to collect them tomorrow."

Bai Qing and his companion were startled.

Bai Suzhen picked up a piece of food for Xu Xian and said gently, "The world is not at peace, my lord, you should not travel far."

Xu Xian acted like a naive fool: "What are you afraid of? My swordsmanship is now extremely advanced."

Xiaoqing retorted sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, shameless! Don't you know there are many monsters in the mountains south of the city? If you go to gather herbs, you'll be eaten by them!"

"monster?"

Xu Xian pursed his lips, "There are no monsters in the world. I've never seen one."

Xiaoqing looked at her sister, then solemnly said, "Yes, there are monsters in our Hangzhou city."

puff!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Xu Xian seemed to be startled and coughed incessantly.

Bai Suzhen gently patted his back to help him catch his breath.

Xu Xian looked at the two of them and asked in surprise, "Are there really monsters? Hmm..."

He thought for a moment, then asked the soul-searching question: "Are all monsters evil?"

Bai Qing was taken aback.

They were demons themselves, so they didn't want to mention demons in front of Xu Xian.

After all, people are ignorant and cannot distinguish between good and evil, and they always shout to kill monsters.

At this moment, at the dinner table, the two never expected Xu Xian to say such a thing.

Bai Suzhen asked gently, "Why do you ask that, my lord?"

Xu Xian spoke eloquently.

"Don't the folk tales all say that monsters are animals that have cultivated themselves?"

"Think about it, since animals can cultivate themselves, they must have gained the approval of heaven and earth."

"Some monsters do indeed suck human flesh and blood, and everyone has the right to kill them."

"But some demons cultivate by relying on the essence of the sun and moon."

"They didn't do anything particularly heinous, so they shouldn't be condemned outright, right?"

"So I think that not all monsters are necessarily bad!"

Just like people, there are good and bad people, and there are good and bad demons.

After Xu Xian finished speaking, he looked at Bai Qing and the other person in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qing and the other person were in tears and choked up.

Uh, did I go too far?

Bai Suzhen embraced Xu Xian and murmured, "My husband is right, there are good and bad monsters too."

Xiaoqing nodded, "You're pretty open-minded, aren't you?"

"Hehe! In that case, I'll go up the mountain to gather herbs tomorrow."

Bai Qing and the other man were taken aback, and simultaneously refused: "No way!"

Although we just discussed the distinction between good and evil among monsters.

But the two snakes clearly knew that the mountains south of the city were infested with extremely evil demons.

If the official goes to collect herbs, the chances of him surviving are slim.

Xu Xian, however, remained quite stubborn: "Didn't I just say that demons can be good or evil? Besides, don't try to scare me. I went to collect herbs before, and I didn't see any demons. That's it!"

Xu Xian displayed the authority of the head of the family, leaving Bai and Qing speechless.

The next morning.

After having breakfast, Xu Xian carried his medicine basket and went out.

Bai Suzhen gently blew on Xu Xian, and a wisp of white mist adhered to Xu Xian's body.

"With this protective aura, you should be safe. If you are indeed captured by a monster, I will be able to sense it immediately."

Xiaoqing huffed, "Why didn't we keep up? And when are we going to let him cultivate? I've already brought back the cultivation manual..."

Bai Suzhen shook her head: "Fahai has already set his sights on us. He doesn't dare to make a move within Hangzhou city, but once he leaves the city, he will have no more scruples."

Xiaoqing pouted: "If we join forces, we won't be afraid of him."

"We must not cause trouble for the official."

Bai Suzhen watched Xu Xian leave, and then stayed home to do chores and be a good wife.

Xu Xian naturally sensed the aura left behind by Bai Suzhen.

He enveloped the aura with his own magical power and then flew towards Calabash Mountain.

Soon after, Xu Xian landed and went directly to the entrance of the demon's cave.

The little goblin guarding the gate immediately raised its steel fork: "Mere mortals, how dare you come here? I'm just looking to eat people..."

Xu Xian looked at the two little demons and said with a smile, "Your king is trying to refine the Seven Star Pill, but hasn't succeeded yet, has he?"

The two little monsters were taken aback: "W-who are you? How do you know about such things?"

"I'm here to help your king!"
