Chapter 31: Mutated 1,000 Years Old Vermillion Fruit
His realm rose to the 30th level?
Lu Li’s eyes lit up when he heard the system notification in his mind.
His Heavenly Blood-Devouring Technique originally only had 20 levels and could only be cultivated to the peak of foundation stage. Now, if he cultivated to the 30th level, he could cultivate to the peak of Jin Dan stage.
Moreover, his progress increased by 80%!
That was really a pleasant surprise!
If he went back and cultivated with all his might for a day or two, he would probably be able to directly break through to the fifth level.
He would also be able to break through to the fifth level of qi refinement realm!
The Indestructible Divine Technique could also be upgraded!
Lu Li was eager to give it a try. He wished that he could immediately return to his pavilion to train.
However, he still could not return at the moment.
In the sky, the huge bird that devoured the lightnings soared into the sky. It suddenly swooped down and it rapidly shrank. In the end, it transformed into a white, fat, and small man.
However, the small man just looked like Demonic Devil. His features were all the same.
A demigod!
Then, Demonic Devil moved and entered his cave.
“Hahahaha, Master has successfully advanced to the Demigod stage! Quick! Senior Sister, take us back to congratulate Master!”
Bai Jinfei, who was at the side, could not contain his joy and laughed loudly.
However, Second Senior Sister’s expression was still as cold as ever. With a wave of her white sleeve, a demonic wind swept up.
Whoosh!
The demonic wind blew them, and the 3 of them appeared in front of the damaged black cave.
Without any hesitation, the 3 of them walked in and immediately saw Demonic Devil sitting on the white bone chair with his eyes shut.
At that moment, Demonic Devil’s aura was surging, and his divine might was like that of a mountain.
His might was immeasurable, and they did not know how strong he was.
A circle of black light flashed behind his head, and a small blood-red fish was swimming in it.
“Congratulations, Master! You have passed the test and became a demigod! Congratulations!”
They cupped their hands and congratulated Demonic Devil in unison.
A demigod could live up to 1,000 years. Before becoming a demigod, they would only live until 800 years old. It could be said the demigods were the ruler of the human world.
“Yes!”
Demonic Devil slowly opened his eyes when he heard them.
In an instant, lightning flashed in his eyes, and powerful electric currents swept in all directions.
They felt a sharp pain all over their bodies as if they had been struck by lightning. They felt numb and powerless.
“Fret not! I just swallowed the heavenly lightnings and haven’t completely controlled it. So, it overflowed a little just now.”
Demonic Devil opened his mouth and explained.
With a wave of his hand, he removed the power of lightning that pervaded the his cave.
The numbness on their bodies instantly disappeared.
However, Lu Li’s expression was still a bit strange.
When Demonic Devil spoke, his voice was a little different from before. It sounded strange and a bit uncomfortable.
At that moment, Second Senior Sister took a step forward and cupped her hands. “I offer you a 3,000 years old spiritual herb. Congratulation, Master! You’ll advance to the Immortal stage shortly.”
As she spoke, she flipped her hands and a jade box covered with golden talismans appeared on her palm.
“Oh?”
Demonic Devil grabbed the jade box. With a flick of his finger, he opened the jade Box. After taking a look at it, he nodded and praised. “Excellent! It’s a 3,000 years old spiritual herb. It’s rare and can be used to refine a soul-repelling pill. Yao Yao, thank you.”
After finishing his sentence, the blood-red fish suddenly darted out from the black light and appeared in front of her. It opened its mouth and spat out something.
A golden, round bead fell onto her palm.
“Yao Yao, this Dragon Bead is a gift to you. Refine it and try to activate your bloodline as soon as possible to turn into a dragon,” Demonic Devil said.
“Thank you, Master!”
She looked thankful as she held the golden bead and bowed deeply.
Her name was Yao Yao?
Was she a demon?
Lu Li pondered.
At the same time, he also understood why Bai Jinfei was so eager to find a congratulatory gift.
It was a rare opportunity to exchange a small gift for a big one!
While he was thinking, Bai Jinfei took a step forward and took out a wooden box from his sleeve. He then said loudly, “I offer you a hairpin. I wish Master a long life and good health. Our Master is invincible and the best!”
“Hmm… this box?”
Demonic Devil saw the beautiful pattern on the wooden box, and his expression froze.
The next moment, he raised his hand and took the wooden box. When he opened it, a nostalgic look immediately appeared on his face.
“It’s from an old friend. Jinfei, thank you.”
Demonic Devil nodded and put away the wooden box.
Then, the blood-red fish swam in front of Bai Jinfei, opened its mouth, and spat out a yellowish ancient book.
“This is the Ghost Sword Technique you want. When you reach level 3, you’ll be able to break through to the Jin Dan stage,” Demonic Devil said.
“Thank you, Master!”
Bai Jinfei’s face was immediately filled with excitement and gratitude, and he bowed deeply to thank him.
It was Lu Li’s turn.
Lu Li took a deep breath and took a step forward as he said in a clear voice, “I offer you a low-grade spirit ghost and an ancient spiritual too. Master, your power is immeasurable. You’ll easily win against the Daoist and Buddhist sects. You’ll dominate the overseas islands, and unify the 10 great Demonic sects. You are the one and only one!”
As Lu Li finished his sentence, he took out the low-grade spirit ghost and the Thousand Spirits Banner.
As soon as he said that, Yao Yao and Bai Jinfei looked at Lu Li strangely.
How could he say such words?
He had no shame!
“Hahaha. Excellent!”
However, Demonic Devil seemed to fancy his words. He laughed and looked at Lu Li’s hand. Then, he asked in surprise, “Eh, a low-grade spirit ghost? Where did you find it?”
“I was lucky enough to find one.”
Lu Li answered respectfully.
“Master, Junior Brother Lu was very lucky. Within a month, he found 2 low-grade spirit ghosts.” Bai Jinfei interrupted.
“Oh? Really?”
When Demonic Devil heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Lu Li with a sharp gaze.
It was as if Demonic Devil wanted to see through Lu Li’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Lu Li replied with a serious expression, “Yes, perhaps I’m too handsome, and the spirit ghosts love me very much, which is why I was extremely lucky to find 2 of them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jinfei’s eyes widened as he stared at Lu Li in disbelief.
On the side, Yao Yao opened her eyes widely and stared at Lu Li too.
“…”
Demonic Devil was also at a loss for words. After a long time, he said, “Damn it, this is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person like you.”
“Thank you for your compliment, Master,” Lu Li replied to Demonic Devil frankly.
“…”
Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes turned cold. “Hmm? Where’s the Ghost-Raising Tower that I gave you? You lost it? Also, why does this banner of yours look like that b*stard Hell Master’s Thousand Spirits Banner?”
“Master, it’s indeed the Thousand Spirits Banner.”
Lu Li cupped his hands and answered in a serious voice, “Not long ago, I found a spirit ghost in the Demons Cave. I didn’t expect that someone would try to steal it from me. That person was Li Fei. He’s Li Jing’s younger brother, and Li Jing is Hell Master’s last disciple. We argued, and I had a battle with Li Fei. In desperation, I had no choice but to detonate the Ghost-Raising Tower. However, I was able to win against him with great difficulty.”
“Is that so?”
Demonic Devil’s expression suddenly turned sinister as he looked at Bai Jinfei.
“Master, it’s true. Moreover, Li Jing’s younger brother seemed to have spoken rudely to Master. In order to protect Master’s dignity, Junior Brother had no choice but to accept the challenge,” Bai Jinfei cupped his hands and replied to Demonic Devil.
He was helping Lu Li.
As expected!
Demonic Devil snorted coldly. “Hell Master has always looked down on others! His disciples are dead now. Excellent! Lu Li, you’ve done well this time! You’re ruthless! You’re bold enough! You protected my dignity as well!”
As Demonic Devil spoke, the blood-red fish swam in front of Lu Li. It opened its mouth and spat out a Vermillion Fruit, which landed in Lu Li’s hand.
The fruit was like a lychee. It had bumpy skin on its surface.
It was also emitting waves of hot air, which was quite hot when Lu Li touched it.
“This is a mutated Vermilion Fruit.”
Demonic Devil said coldly, “The cultivation method of the demonic technique is fast and fierce. You need to take shortcuts to advance faster. With that, your fundamental skills are basically unstable. Therefore, it’s not appropriate to consume spirit fruits and spirit pills to increase your cultivation. You’ll go mad if you train too fast. However, this is a 1,000 years old Vermilion Fruit produced by a mutated spirit plant in the secret realm. If you consume and refine it, it can increase your cultivation level and stabilize your fundamental skills. I’ll give it to you!”
“Thank you, Master!”
Lu Li’s face lit up. Without saying anything else, he opened his mouth and ate the mutated Vermilion Fruit.
He did not even taste anything, but the effect was very strong!
Ding!
A clear sound immediately sounded in his mind.
[You have consumed the mutated 1,000 years old Vermillion Fruit.]
[Mystical Devouring Technique is beginning to refine it… It’s expected to finish refining after 10 minutes.”
[Mystical Devouring Technique. Progress increased by 1%]
