“You…
did you kill this?”
Qin Hu was so surprised that he was almost speechless.
Speaking of which, his eyes fell back on Chen Yuan, who was pouring wine.
“Yes indeed, this Mountain Lord in the deep mountains had formed a weather pattern, howling through the forests, truly tough to deal with.
If it were not for a bit of luck on my side, I’m afraid I couldn’t handle it.”
Chen Yuan’s words weren’t wrong.
The Mountain Lord was marrying, giving him a heavenly timing.
Originally, the demons hidden in various parts of the deep mountains gathered together, providing him a grand opportunity to harvest many Luck Points and nourish himself.
Others entering the game made the Mountain Lord lose his composure, providing Chen Yuan the chance to finally strike the opponent and seize people’s favor.
Especially at the end, when the Mountain Lord tried to forcefully pass his boundary and was bound by those golden Sanskrit scripts.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say what might have happened afterward.
He guessed, that group of golden Buddhist Prohibition probably had something to do with that Demonic Monk.
He was actually following the clues of that Demonic Monk, and that led him to this Mountain Lord.
It seems that the Demonic Monk had likely set up that tiger, and coincidentally, it helped him.
What a twist of fate!
As Chen Yuan’s thoughts wandered, a shout of admiration interrupted him.
“Bravo!”
“Great!”
Qin Hu’s eyes shone, staring intently at Chen Yuan.
“Haha, from now on, you are my brother, Old Qin.”
“Strong!”
Saying so, he gave a thumbs up.
Old Qin was not stingy with his praise, and under his boisterous laughter, there were also waves in his heart.
He could sense a demonic aura stronger than his from the tiger skin.
If Chen Yuan has actually slain this beast, how powerful is he really?
His heart was tumultuous.
But he did not ask anything.
It was enough for him to know that Chen was on his side.
“Drink up!”
He shouted again, no longer bringing up the topic just discussed.
Everything was just right, touched upon just enough.
And all of these observations were noticed by Chen Yuan, who was growing fonder of Military Officer Qin Hu.
The moment led to joyful exchanges and clinking of cups.
In conversation, Chen Yuan also learned quite a bit about the current situation in Shu and some of the forces.
In one word, chaos!
Shu was naturally surrounded by mountains, located far in the southwest corner, far from the Central Plains.
It was a haven for a group of demons, with frequent chaotic incidents.
It had become a den of corruption.
An hour later, the last of the wine was drunk.
Qin Hu moisturized his throat with the last cup of wine and slammed the cup down with a “pop.”
“I, Old Qin, haven’t had such a satisfying drink in a long time.”
“No more indulgence!”
“Time to leave!”
Saying so, he stood up.
Chen Yuan, rarely having someone to chat with, tried to keep him for a little longer, “Why the hurry, brother?
You’ve traveled over a thousand li to Qingshan County, you should rest here for a while.”
Qin Hu smiled, “You should know, our position doesn’t allow us to be away for long, and oh—.”
He stroked his beard, held up his fist, and frankly said,
“Brother Chen, our task is also complete, meeting today was worthwhile.”
“No other pleasantries,”
“Next time you come to White Emperor City, I’ll host, you must visit.”
“Take care!”
“You too!”
Chen Yuan stood up and returned the gesture with a fist.
And Qin Hu laughed heartily.
With a sway, he disappeared from the spot.
Only the door frame in the house creaked.
This straightforward man, his coming and going, is just as decisive.
Chen Yuan stood at the door, gazing for a while.
He couldn’t help but exclaim.
These people, they all seem to have this style, coming and going in a rush!
“Old Wu, can you tell me what these people are all praying for?”
He turned his head and looked at the old man who had been silently waiting by the side.
Old Wu just smiled:
“The depth of the lord’s question is beyond my understanding.”
“For survival, I guess!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan laughed heartily.
“I’m no different.”
……..
A few minutes later, the banquet was removed, and Old Wu left.
It was only then Chen Yuan realized that the two little ones had disappeared since earlier.
Looking around, he found them hiding far away.
They had run up to the roof.
Chen Yuan summoned them.
He brought down Little Hua and Little Bai.
Squirrel Xiao Hua, who hadn’t been seen for two days, was almost fully healed and lively again, but its fur puffed up as it pointed with its paw towards the house.
Chen Yuan then realized.
It must have been the Mountain Lord’s tiger skin that frightened these two little ones.
“What are you afraid of?
Being contracted demons of Chen Yuan, how can you be so timid?
In the future, I’ll use tiger skin to make your nest and Jiao bones for your pillows, how about that?”
The two little creatures frantically shook their heads.
Chen Yuan couldn’t help laughing.
“No choice, you’ll have to manage.
Maybe in the future, this lord might need you two to bolster our presence at the entrance.”
Chen Yuan joked.
Thinking of the Mountain Lord’s wedding, where the little demons registered their names, proclaiming themselves lords of various domains.
If he were to transform into a demon one day and bring a few little demons to become a Mountain King, the situation would be quite amusing.
Thinking of this, his eyes twinkled; maybe, he would really need such a transformation in the future.
Thinking about it, Chen Yuan continued to tease the two little ones for a while.
Then, he returned to the inner room.
He sat down cross-legged.
First, he took out the black Banshan Tiger Talisman.
The previous one had been his talisman.
This one was as if the “interim” prefix had been removed.
Now, he possessed a real identity!
The significance was completely different.
He pricked his finger and dripped blood into the Tiger Talisman.
The blood drop instantly absorbed into it.
Then, he put it away.
Afterward, he took out a white jade pendant.
He infused True Qi into it.
A milky white light rose from the jade pendant, then small white characters followed the True Qi’s flow upwards into the Mud Ball.
After a while,
Chen Yuan finished receiving the Divine Power Method; the white jade also shattered into powder.
This was a method called the “Demon Transformation.”
Initially, the name sounded a bit sinister, but Chen Yuan, understanding its intricacies, had a glint in his eye.
He possessed the “Earthly Fiendishness 72” Divine Power and was accustomed to high standards.
His expectations weren’t high for the method sent by the Prefecture, but he underestimated the depth of this place.
Perhaps because the Mountain Patrol Military Officer usually dealt with demons, this Divine Power cleverly proposed a way to increase combat power, using Demon Blood Tempering Body to strengthen the physique, refining nine Demon Essences in the body’s nine Profound Acupoints as a method of transformation.
Those who refine it can layer more than ten percent of a demon’s combat power onto themselves.
The stronger the sacrificial demon soul, the greater the added combat power.
And there are no side effects!
A method to transform into a demon?
Heh, just as he was thinking about it, an answer appeared right before him.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, and with a flick of his sleeve, he pinched between two fingers.
He pulled out something the size of a black bean.
Jet black like ink, yet with a mysterious feel.
This was the last remnant left from extinguishing the Mountain Lord’s soul.
Exceptionally hard!
It bore the essence of the Mountain Lord.
With a strong, mysterious aura.
He guessed that it might be because the Mountain Lord had touched the threshold of the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, causing a qualitative change in his essence.
He decided to give it a try!
(PS: Wishing everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
