One day in the middle of summer.

Early morning.

The rural boundary in the suburbs of Dongxuan City.

Jiang Xun got up early and brought a fishing rod to open the door, humming a little song and walking out of his courtyard.

As a veteran angler, he had a hunch.

Today is a good day for explosives.

Gan is over!

Before Jiang Xun could sit down, a figure with a flying sword suddenly walked away against the river, causing a violent surge on the river.

“……”

Jiang Xun.

Who is this?

Flying swords in broad daylight!

No one cares about it in the countryside, does it?

Staring at the distant figure, Jiang Xun squinted.

Well?

Is it a woman?

Looks like there's a tail behind the waist?

There shouldn't be anyone playing COS in this backwoods.

So......

This girl is a half-demon!?

Half-Demon ......

Beast-eared mother!

Hiss!

Think about it!

Ah, no.

I want to get to know you.

Silently suppressing the emotions in his chest, Jiang Xun calmed down.

When he looked up again, his face was not very good-looking.

It seems that he can't continue to salt.

Since completing preschool education and officially embarking on the path of cultivation, he has been cultivating demons for more than 16 years.

But since the beginning of the entry, he has not entered the realm of any inch.

A demon heart has grown steadily, and has even reached the level of a normal demon path third realm condensation.

Due to the lack of nourishment of demonic energy for a long time, the demonic heart has been in a state of "malnutrition" for a long time, and it is more and more irritable day by day.

That's not a good thing.

Normally.

The cultivation of the Demon Dao is based on the shaping of the Demon Heart as the starting point, and the completion of the Demon Qi Shaping and the consolidation of the Demon Heart in the initial realm of the Demon as the cornerstone of one's own progress.

However, Jiang Xun was very different from ordinary demon cultivators.

His demonic heart is only available after completing the demonic qi shaping.

After that, no matter how he cultivated, the inside of the demonic heart was always a hollow, and the demonic qi could not pour in.

This is undoubtedly the crux of his inability to advance an inch.

Jiang Xun originally thought that being different was the "welfare" of being a person who had been reborn through time.

The crossing is not hanging, that is called crossing?

But more than ten years have passed, and everything is still the same.

It's just salted fish, he doesn't have a problem.

It's just a demon heart that is waiting to be fed and completely dried up, and the impact on him is too great.

The immortal path must refine the heart, and the focus is to create a state of mind without waves in the ancient well to promote the progress on the way of the immortal path.

The Demon Dao goes the opposite way, pursuing the true heart and finally achieving the true demon.

The reason why Jiang Xun chose the Demon Dao in the first place was because the Demon Dao was more comfortable than the Immortal Dao just by looking at it, and he didn't have to make himself pure-hearted.

If not.

As a Chinese from another world, he must choose the Immortal Dao.

Just ask.

Who here doesn't have a dream of cultivating immortals?

However, the real immortal path is not as good as in the dream of cultivating immortals, and there are too many restrictions.

As an office dog who was repeatedly whipped under the "996 rule" and finally died suddenly and was reborn, Jiang Xun wanted to live freely in this life.

Back to business.

Compared with the fairy road that pays attention to the word "stability".

The Demon Dao has the advantages of fast entry in the early stage, fierce means, and easy to break through bottlenecks, but at the same time, it also has fatal defects such as easy to go mad and lose its defense.

Regardless of the advantages, the key to the defects of the Demon Dao is the Demon Heart.

Only when the demonic heart is unhindered can the situation of going mad and falling into the devil be avoided to the greatest extent.

There were many sermons during this period.

But the essence is not to limit yourself.

Do whatever you want.

Follow your heart and ensure that your mind is proficient.

People in the Demon Dao often act freely and domineeringly, and the main reason is to stabilize the Demon Heart.

In modern society, how to suppress the demon heart is a "compulsory course" for every person in the demon path.

After all, the rule of law is emphasized in modern times.

If you are too self-indulgent, you will not be far from eating in prison.

Suppressing the Demon Heart can only be achieved through one's own pure Demon Dao cultivation.

Jiang Xun has not advanced an inch in his realm for many years, so naturally he cannot talk about the capital that can be suppressed.

For more than ten years, he could only rely on his relatively positive personality in his two lives to forcibly suppress him.

This is clearly not a long-term solution.

Recently, the various impulses brought by the demon heart have indeed become stronger and stronger, and they have become more and more uncontrollable.

Reliving a lifetime, Jiang Xun became a fisherman since he was a child, and the main reason is that fishing is an activity that helps to cultivate one's self and self-cultivation, and helps to keep the demonic heart calm.

Today.

He didn't expect anything else.

A very realistic thing.

He's four out of twenty college graduates.

Rather than hoping for a plug-in that allows you to change your life against the sky, you need to solve the problem that your own demonic energy cannot pour into your demonic heart.

Otherwise, he may not even be able to guarantee his own livelihood in the future.

Although he has both parents in this life.

However, the two elders had not set foot in cultivation and were old and old, so they had already hung on the wall.

If it weren't for the fact that the second elder used to make a living by planting all kinds of spiritual plants and left a lot of legacy, he might not even be able to graduate from college.

You have to think of a way.

But you have to get the mentality right.

The problems that have not been solved for 16 years cannot be rushed.

Sitting still, Jiang Xun's fingertips surged dark black demonic qi and rubbed it on the double hook of the strand line, condensing two demonic qi bait balls and throwing them into the river.

In a world where he could practice, his target fish was of course not an ordinary fish, but a spiritualized fish with high value and a very tasty taste.

There are many ways to practice in this world.

The two ways of immortals and demons are just two more mainstream cultivation methods in Kyushu, known as the ancient country of the East, and together with martial arts, they are called the "three royal families" in the Kyushu cultivation system.

There are many relatively unpopular ways of practice.

Outside of Kyushu country, there are other systems of all kinds.

No matter what kind of cultivation system, its power presentation is based on the most basic heaven and earth aura.

Including the fighting spirit, magic, mana, and so on that are unique to the Western world.

Reiki affects not only human practitioners, but also all aliens, including beasts.

Spiritualization is the first step for beasts to embark on the path of cultivation.

If they want to transform into enlightened beings and become monsters, step into the demon path or turn into heaven and earth spirit beasts, they must absorb enough spiritual energy during the spiritualization process.

Unlike human cultivators, they know how to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use, opening the way for their cultivation.

Only by ingesting food rich in spiritual energy can birds and animals promote their own spiritualization, and then complete enlightenment.

Therefore, the demonic qi bait that Jiang Xun had just rubbed out was an irresistible temptation for the spiritualized fish.

As long as you wander around, you will basically take the bait.

That is, spiritualization will be accompanied by gradual enlightenment, and spiritualized fish tend to be more cautious than ordinary swimming fish.

But fishing!

It's a test of patience.

Even if it is an ordinary fish, some large individuals are not so easy to take the bait.

It makes sense that people can grow that big.

Holding the fishing rod and waiting patiently, Jiang Xun suddenly saw two figures on the opposite bank speeding along the riverbank, and the two of them were extremely fast and looked like ghosts.

When passing by the opposite side, the two glanced at each other and did not stop, and went straight away.

Subconsciously looking at the past, Jiang Xun frowned.

The two people who passed by just now were at least second-realm martial artists.

Looking at the clothes, it seems that he is a person who exceeds the management committee.

Super-Management Committee.

The full name is the Super Natural Disaster Management Committee, which is under the official Kyushu State.

The main function is to respond to all kinds of non-routine disasters.

Where they appear, there must be some kind of unreasonable disaster situation.

But people passing by straight, shouldn't they care?

The half-demon female cultivator in the past is estimated to be also a member of the super management committee on a mission.

Without much thought, Jiang Xun retracted his gaze, and then suddenly saw a large fish floating on the surface of the water with an obvious spiritualization nearby, looking at the mouth of the fish where he was opening and closing.

Abba'a.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xun was surprised.

Is this fish so enlightened?

I even know how to go to the surface of the water to see if someone is fishing!

It's a bit harder.

Fish that have been spiritualized to this extent do not have to expect it to take the bait.

And it has begun to take shape, and it is a natural deterrent to other fish.

There it is.

Mo said that it was other spiritualized fish that were enlightening, and even ordinary fish did not dare to approach.

Just as he was hesitating to change places and continue squatting, the big fish suddenly swam slowly to the shore.

？

Jiang Xun.

Why did this fish swim over?

Could it be that I made a mistake, and I didn't really know how to be wise?

Just as he was thinking, the big fish suddenly "poofed" and spat at him.

？？？

Jiang Xun.

Before he could react, the fish adjusted its posture and opened its mouth to squirt again.

It's still a splash.

But the strength is much greater than before, and the accuracy is also good.

Shooting raw on the shore doesn't count, almost messing Jiang Xun up.

！！！

Jiang Xun.

it!

This is a provocation, right?

It must be a provocation, right!?

Jiang Xun's demon heart was violently restless at that time, several green tendons burst out on his forehead, and he threw away the fishing rod and jumped up.

It was at the moment when he jumped.

A huge shadow suddenly appeared on the surface of the water behind the big fish.

The next second.

I only heard a bang, and a big mouth of blood enough to swallow an adult rushed to the surface of the water.

！！！

Jiang Xun.

The change came so suddenly, he was unprepared.

Attract mutations.

There is no doubt that it is a fish demon that has completed its transformation, and its body has shown demonic energy.

But that's not the point.

The point is that the fish demon "mocked" him with a mouthful of big fish, and even calculated the angle, waiting to swallow him who was jumping into the river.

!

Are the fish so shrewd now!?

Jiang Xun scolded secretly.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

His eyes shone with a dazzling red glow, and the demonic energy around him surged and in the blink of an eye, he condensed a harpoon composed of pure demonic energy in his hand, and then threw it with his hand.

This one is thrown.

The demonic harpoon suddenly became like a sharp arrow off the string.

Just listen to the sound of "poof".

The fish demon was deeply throated on the spot, and let out a strange cry like a baby's cry.

The fish demon who ate the pain immediately realized that Jiang Xun was not the object he could deal with, and decisively gave up devouring people, and turned his head to return to the water.

How can Jiang Xun make it come true?

It's all here, why don't you stay hehehe?

With a kick in the air, Jiang Xun turned back to the riverbank in a way that was enough to make Niu X lift the coffin board, and turned around with both hands in fists.

At the same time as he exerts his strength.

A thin line that was almost invisible to the naked eye was instantly covered and strengthened by demonic energy, connecting from his hands to the end of the demonic harpoon that had deepthroated the fish demon.

Before he could get back to the surface, the fish demon was immediately dragged into the air.

Visually, the huge body of two or three hundred catties drew a parabola, and fell on the riverbank with a "snap".

The fish demon goes ashore.

Jiang Xun's eyes were like lightning, and he turned his hand and condensed a demonic qi long knife, and he stepped forward and raised his hand to make a knife.

"Poof!"

Blood.

The fish demon's hard skull was chopped alive.

The brain flower flowed to the ground, and he lost his voice on the spot.

Killing the fish demon, Jiang Xun's restless demon heart was calmed.

That's just at this time.

A transparent dialog box appeared in front of him.

"Demon Qi +5."

？

Jiang Xun slowly typed a question mark.

Immediately after, he clearly felt that a drop of liquid demonic qi had generated in his demonic heart, which had dried up for more than ten years.

The liquid demonic qi was generated, and in the blink of an eye, it volatilized into an incomparably pure demonic qi that filled the demonic heart.

And with it.

Jiang Xun saw several transparent dialog boxes pop up one after another.

"Realm ascension, mid-stage of enchantment, disposable talent points +1."

"Please choose a talent to add points, once a talent is selected, it cannot be modified and will affect the subsequent talent branch selection."

"Optional talent in the middle of enchantment."

"True Demon Will: Completely lose the suppression of the Demon Heart before condensing the Demon Fetus, and triple the combat power during the Demon Heart Restlessness."

"Killing is the Way: Increases the transformation efficiency of killing sanes to gain transformation efficiency, and the effect increases with the increase of the Great Realm."

"Gou also has a way: losing the ability to kill sentient beings to obtain demonic qi is transformed into self-cultivation, and the effect depends on the quality and realm of demonic cultivation methods."

！！！

Jiang Xun.

After seeing several dialog boxes in a row, he suddenly felt that he could do it again.

As a time-traveling reborn.

I really have someone to hang!

System.

He's familiar with this!

So.

Have you always mistaken the "correct" way to open it?

Summoning system.

Jiang Xun tried various postures, but never got anything to gain.

I thought that the system didn't exist at all.

Now he killed a fish demon but jumped out.

It seems to be quite rich in functions, with the existence of a talent tree.

Take a closer look at the three distinct optional talents, Jiang Xun blush.

Three options, like three different branches.

It is also clearly written in the tooltip that you cannot regret choosing a talent and will affect subsequent options.

After careful examination, Jiang Xun first ruled out option one.

The Ten Realms of the Demon Dao: Entering the Demon, Building the Heart, Condensing the Fetus, Quenching the Spirit, Demon Baby, Refining the Gods, Transforming the Dao, Calamity, Winning the Crown, and True Demons.

Condensation is the third realm.

Choosing the True Demon as He Likes also meant that he completely lost his self-control before the Three Realms, which simply required him to embark on the outright Demon Leader route.

Not to mention that this path is impossible to live in a civilized world with a high degree of rule of law, he chose the devil's path just to be able to live a freer life, and he didn't want to completely let himself go.

In comparison, killing is more fragrant.

After killing the fish demon, the liquid demonic qi generated inside the demonic heart is called demonic qi, and its purity completely crushes the demonic qi obtained from serious cultivation, and it is not difficult to see that it is a more advanced form of power manifestation from the fact that it can be volatilized into demonic qi to fill the demonic heart.

More critically.

The acquisition of Demon Qi was obviously directly related to his realm ascension.

Killing as a way can increase the efficiency of killing the Demon Qi of the sentient beings, which is equivalent to an experience buff.

Look at Gou again.

This talent......

It doesn't look bad either.

Avoiding killing, as long as you practice hard, you can generate demonic qi on your own.

When reading novels in his previous life, Jiang Xun had seen a lot of systems that made a way out, but this was obviously not suitable for him.

Cultivation itself is a very torturous process.

Killing for the Dao provided him with a path to upgrade by killing monsters, so why did he have to choose a ten-year cultivation?

You don't have to think about it.

Cultivating step by step, his entry will be very slow.

At present, he also has a relatively basic Heavenly Demon True Solution as a cultivation method, which can be found on the Internet is basically the same, and the more advanced ones are in the hands of some cultivation families and portal forces.

After careful consideration, Jiang Xun raised his hand and clicked on the killing path.

Then, a dialog box pops up in front of you.

"Talent chooses success, and killing is the way."

After that, another status bar panel pops up.

Host: Jiang Xun

Demon: 5/55

Realm: Mid-stage of enchantment

Talent: Killing is the way

Seeing the status bar, Jiang Xun frowned slightly.

This.

It's a bit too concise.

With his experience in reading online texts for many years in his past and present lives, I'm afraid there are still many hidden functions that have not met the display conditions.

After staring at the 5/55 displayed behind the Demon Qi, Jiang Xun deduced that the 55 displayed in the rear was the threshold for him to enter the late stage of entering the demon.

From 5 to 55, the tenfold span has to be said to be a bit large.

However, the direct correlation realm is also understandable.

There are thousands of cultivation paths in the world, which one is not one realm and one heaven?

The difference between the great realms is like a moat, almost impassable, and only those who can be called demons can cross the border.

Waving his hand to dispel the status bar, Jiang Xun turned his head to look at the fish demon with a cracked brain.

The description of killing for the Tao clearly told him that as long as he killed a living being, he could harvest the Demon Qi, not just killing demons.

All things have spirits.

It's a secular way of saying it.

However, it is clear that the spirit mentioned in the path of killing refers to the physical practice.

After spending twenty-four years in this world, and living in the countryside, Jiang Xun has killed chickens, ducks and fish.

Among them, there are many fish that have been initially spiritualized.

However, it wasn't until today that he actually gained the power of the Moqi.

So.

Killing eight or nine out of ten humans who have embarked on the path of cultivation can also obtain Demon Qi.

Hiss.

Gasping, Jiang Xun silently dispelled the thoughts that filled his mind with judgment.

At this time, he suddenly felt something.

Subconsciously turning his head, Jiang Xun raised his eyes and saw that the female correction of the previous Edgeworth "bombing the river" had turned back.

This female cultivator is really an extremely rare half-demon.

Kyushu is the first country in the world to achieve peaceful coexistence between humans and demons.

As early as a thousand years ago, the Kyushu Kingdom ended the battle with the shape-shifting monsters that had begun since ancient times, and worked together.

The shapeshifting monster even established a city with autonomy in the area of the 100,000 mountains of Kyushu Province.

As a result, the 100,000 mountains, which were originally difficult for humans to set foot in, were gradually developed, bringing abundant resources to Kyushu and giving rise to a well-developed tourism industry.

It needs to be emphasized.

Only shapeshifters who are mentally mature and have a sense of law-abiding will be accepted as citizens by the Kyushu Kingdom.

The naturally awakened demon transformation is usually in the fourth realm.

Such a threshold.

The main reason is that even if the monsters complete the enlightenment before the transformation, most of them follow their instincts, do not distinguish between right and wrong, and are more aggressive.

There are, of course, exceptions.

Whether the offspring born from the combination of the transformation monster is born with a transformation or not, the level of wisdom is no different from that of ordinary people.

Let's talk about half-demons.

This group is a product of the coexistence of humans and demons.

To put it simply, it is the "crystallization of love" produced by the combination of human beings and shapeshifting monsters.

However, due to the reproductive isolation that exists between species, only humans above the five realms can give birth to offspring if they combine with monsters.

The threshold for the birth of a half-demon is destined to be rare.

And without exception, they were born with a golden key.

Don't look at the Five Realms as only the fifth realm in the realm division, but in fact, most cultivators in the world don't have the opportunity to enter the Five Realms.

The Five Realms is an important watershed on the path of cultivation, and it is the end of the path of cultivation for most people.

The half-demon "guarantee" has a pair of parents who are at least the five realms.

You taste.

You savor it.

Over there.

The goal of the half-demon female cultivator was very clear, and she went straight to Jiang Xun's side.

Edgeworth is also worthy of being the fastest mode of transportation in the world other than flying vehicles, and in the blink of an eye, people are near.

Falling lightly in front of Jiang Xun, the half-demon female cultivator stood still and first glanced at the fish demon who had passed away "peacefully" on the side, and a pair of cat ears on the top of her head trembled and looked over.

"Hello sir, I'm Chen Xiaoyu, a field agent of the Super Management Committee."

The half-demon nun opened her mouth, took out her own documents, and opened them to show them.

"Let's make sure, this fish demon ...... But sir, you killed it? ”

The half-demon girl who calls herself Chen Xiaoyu is very good-looking.

The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the delicate facial features on the face of the melon seeds are like works of art.

Silently straightened his mentality, Jiang Xun spoke.

"I killed the fish demon, so there shouldn't be any problem with that?"

"Ah, of course there won't be a problem, and I have to thank you, sir, for this."

Chen Xiaoyu responded, saying.

"Earlier, I was informed by my superiors that a high concentration of demon miasma had been found in the upper reaches of the Dongxuan River, which may affect the aquatic life in the river and accelerate its demonization and metamorphosis, so I and two colleagues were instructed to carry out patrols and investigations along the river."

"We have just inspected the nearby river section, and we have not found any real thing, so I think this fish demon has a very high degree of wisdom and knows how to hide itself. Thanks to the presence of Mr. You, it is not difficult to judge through the residual breath of this fish demon that it has become a climate in the middle of a realm, and if ordinary people encounter it, it is inevitable that there will be casualties. ”

After some talking, she cleared her throat.

"I will report this matter truthfully, and the follow-up super management committee should give it a certain commendation. In addition, I would like to purchase this fish demon on behalf of the super management committee, the specific time of the demon miasma is not accurate for the time being, we need to confirm the time of its transformation by dissecting this fish demon to calculate the approximate time of the appearance of the demon miasma. ”

Without waiting for Jiang Xun to speak, she glanced quickly in the direction she was going back and forth, and looked back and lowered her voice.

"Sir, the price of the fish demon is easy to say. I can personally bid you 20,000 spirit yuan, and I'm afraid it won't be such a good price when my two colleagues arrive. ”

Jiang Xun originally heard that Chen Xiaoyu wanted to buy the fish demon, and he was full of words and had to agree.

He is on official business, and it is his duty as a citizen of Kyushu to cooperate with the work.

Besides, the price is very high.

The value of a normal realm monster will not exceed 10,000 spirit yuan, and the value above the second realm will have a real qualitative change.

But Chen Xiaoyu's last sentence made Jiang Xun raise his eyebrows.

Two lives as a man.

How could he not see that the other party wanted to avoid the two companions and try to monopolize the credit of discovering the fish demon?

Looks like.

From the discovery of the demon miasma to the present, the super management committee has not found anything in the river patrol for the time being, and whoever finds the affected monster first is the first achievement.

Although I don't know why Chen Xiaoyu, a half-demon born with a golden key, ran over the management committee to go on an errand, and was so eager to make meritorious contributions.

But if there is demand, then there is room to talk about conditions, right?

Looking up and down at Chen Xiaoyu, whose tail was slowly swaying, Jiang Xunmo's heart was restless.

"The acquisition is good, it is a civic obligation to cooperate with the work of the Super Management Committee, and the price of 20,000 Ling Yuan is also very fair."

Saying something nonchalantly, he cleared his throat.

"But ......"

"But?"

Chen Xiaoyu probed over, his big eyes full of eagerness.

Jiang Xun looked at his demeanor, and a little red light appeared in his eyes.

"It's the first time I've seen a half-demon, can I touch your tail?"

？

Chen Xiaoyu slowly typed a question mark, then glared at the beautiful eyes, and then withdrew with a shocked face.

She sincerely bought and offered a high price, and she was greedy for her body!

Can the tail be touched indiscriminately?

For her, who is a half-demon, this is pure X harassment!

Counting her status as a member of the super management committee, how bold is this thing in front of her!?

After the initial shock, Chen Xiaoyu's pretty face became gloomy.

"Sir, you ......"

Before the words came out, Jiang Xun's mouth "tsk", and he couldn't bear to stretch out his hand.

"Don't ink! Hurry up! Otherwise, when your two colleagues come, the credit will not be yours alone, and you don't want to share the credit among three people, right? ”
