What is a Demon Veiner?

This is the first question that Lu Jiu asked Hu Sanniang, that is, the old woman in front of him, after thinking about it.

Although he wanted to ask why he was still alive without his heart or what that dark golden heart came out of nowhere, this kind of question, whether it could be answered or not, it had already exposed Lu Jiu's most important secret.

You can't tell someone that you're asking for a friend, right?

"Your question is too broad, if you really want to talk about it, it can be related to a day and a night, I don't have time to talk to you here, so just pick some things that are most important to you now, what do you think of the strength of this beast?"

Hu Sanniang said as she brought back the bamboo cage that Lu Jiu had just set aside, and pointed to the weasel inside and asked.

"It can only be said that it is average, but if you accidentally get hit, it will be a little troublesome. ”

This is indeed the case for Lu Jiu.

"Then if ordinary people encounter it, what chance do you think it will survive?"

Hu Sanniang then asked.

"Twenty percent. ”

"That's right, it's almost twenty percent, so if I tell you, this beast isn't even an ant in front of those lowest-level in-stream demon beasts. ”

The weasel in the cage looked up at Hu Sanniang, as if she felt that she was offended, so she immediately lowered her head and continued to pretend to be dead, without waiting for Lu Jiu to speak, she continued,

"Tens of millions of years ago, there were no firearms now, city defense artillery, if there were monsters raging in a certain place, often corpses were everywhere, these monsters had strong bodies, ordinary weapons did not play any role in them, and they could soar through the clouds, ignite fire and lead water, all kinds of abilities are difficult to guess, so some people began to think, where is the gap between humans and demons. ”

Lu Jiu didn't speak, but the scene in his mind came to mind when the mourning crow showed the pair of wings in the alleyway.

"Suffering is always the best driving force for progress, through a long period of observation and experimentation, and finally people in ancient times found that the special energy that prompted the demon beast to continue to obtain various enhancements in the growth came from the demon bloodline, they called it the demon spirit, but a few years ago, some people in the official family Qin Tianjian had already put forward a more definite statement, gene theory: that is, the bloodline of any demon beast contains a unique evolution or mutation gene. ”

"The so-called demon vein is to snatch this bloodline gene from the demon beast, not to imitate or turn himself into a demon race, the key is to use the demon race's ability to continue to evolve to break the bloodline shackles that bind the human race. ”

"There was once a poem that praised: Heaven and earth are made of furnace demons, and they become immortals in the morning and alchemy pills!"

"Since that's the case, I might as well give you a reminder, maybe most people don't care, but the 'Demon Veiner' is actually an insulting title in the eyes of some people, a hundred years ago, there were only cultivators in this world who crisscrossed the heavens and the earth!"

The palm of the hand holding the wooden staff tightened slightly, as if remembering something, and the old woman in the twilight showed a terrifying momentum for a while.

"However, there is also a great risk in doing so, as I said earlier, there are very few people like you who can obtain the evolutionary gene by drinking demon blood, and most people who want to obtain this ability must rely on the pills handed down from ancient times or the potions researched by the doctors of today...... And this is not even the beginning, it can only be said that you have the possibility to get rid of the shackles. ”

As she was speaking, Hu Sanniang suddenly raised her eyes to stare at Lu Jiu, and the latter, who was thinking about it, immediately felt numb as if she had been overpowered, and looking back, a pair of pupils seemed to bloom two dark green lotus beast pupils in a flash.

The strong sense of crisis made Lu Jiu almost unable to control himself, and instinctively wanted to retreat.

However, at the moment when he raised his feet and retreated, his body suddenly became hot, and a high-pitched chirp sounded in his ears, and he did not retreat but advanced in the next second, standing straight in front of the counter, and there was an ice blue light in his eyes.

It won't allow him to retreat!

Returning to its original state in the blink of an eye, Hu Sanniang looked surprised, looked Lu Jiu up and down, and said,

"All those who want to become demon veiners will have to face an extremely severe test at first, and the rebellious demon spirits will never simply submit to the human bloodline, which I think you have just felt...... Let them surrender and then fuse their own bloodlines, so that the bloodlines of ordinary people can complete the initial evolution and obtain extraordinary potential, which is the first stage that the demon veins must go through, awakening, if this step fails, it will cause the demon blood to backlash, and the consequences are needless to say. ”

"You're really telling you by your words. ”

Finally recovered from the irritable state just now, Lu Jiu said with a wry smile.

But just now, he felt the spirit in his body deeply, and he also figured out what the spirit of the mourning crow meant in the alleyway and before he died.

"Your potential is not bad, you should be able to help me a lot, so the news about the awakening in the end is an extra reward I gave you, if there is nothing to do now, you can go, come over by eight o'clock tomorrow night, I don't have time to talk to you about what the assistant has to do now, and there will be things to be busy later." ”

After answering a question, Hu Sanniang began to send people.

"I still want to buy some demon blood, I don't know if you have it here. ”

Thinking that Hu Sanniang's daily question should only be about the demon veiner, Lu Jiu hurriedly said what he wanted to ask, for fear that the former would turn around and leave.

The key to this trip is the demon blood, and Lu Jiu doesn't want to go back empty-handed.

"There is not much demon blood in the store, I keep it useful, you go to someone else to buy it, but don't blame me for not reminding you, the demon veiner may have a bloodthirsty desire because of the demon spirit in the body before completing the awakening stage, and the most taboo thing in the awakening stage is that the body is mixed with a large amount of xenomorph blood, which will only cause a riot, let alone complete the awakening, your own life will not be saved...... Tsk, this is an additional piece of information to tell you, to prevent you kid from becoming a ghost without a human or a demon before he can help. ”

For a while, she said other information, which made Hu Sanniang look a little impatient, and said with a frown.

She's not right, at least not in her own situation!

The information revealed by Hu Sanniang's unintentional words undoubtedly made Lu Jiu's mind mixed up for a while,

You must know that Lu Jiu not only drank the demon blood in the bamboo tube, but also drank the blood of the gray feather crow.

If it is said that the bamboo tube is not xenomorphic blood, so there is no problem, at least Lu Jiu can be sure that the gray feather crow is not the same as the black falcon he saw at all, and he poured the blood of the gray feather crow into his stomach in the alley at that time!

The bloodline riot seemed to have been generated, but it turned out to lead to the black falcon, which not only recovered from its injuries, but also improved its sense of smell.

Hu Sanniang doesn't need to deceive herself in this kind of place that can be verified at any time, it can only be that some kind of abnormality in herself has changed this rule.

What went wrong?

Under the pressure of the chaotic mind, Lu Jiu still changed his face as usual on the surface and continued to ask: "I see, I accidentally got a bottle of healing medicine before, and the pills in it seem to be mixed with demon blood, and I have been injured recently, so I have the idea of getting some demon blood, and I want to try if I can rely on this blood to recover my injuries...... I wonder if you know how to get to Lingzhi Hall?"

"Ask the guy downstairs and he knows you can go now. ”

"Thank you. ”

Lu Jiu lifted the bamboo cage and thanked him, but when he looked down, he saw that the weasel in the cage was turning his head to look at him, and he was still a little expectant.

When the iron gate was closed again, the old woman behind the counter listened to the sound of the elevator running.

Suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief, then raised his eyebrows again, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he lifted the wooden staff in his hand and strode towards the back room of the room.
