Scheming for the Immortal-Demon Seed

Many believe cultivators of demonic arts fight more ferociously than cultivators of immortal arts at the same level. However, it becomes extremely difficult for demonic cultivators to advance further in later stages. At this point, those powerful demonic cultivators began to ponder if they could steal an immortal cultivator's Immortal Seed and fuse it into their own demonic seed, achieving a body of both immortal and demon, thus creating an Immortal-Demon Seed.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Almost every demonic cultivator who attempted to create an Immortal-Demon Seed failed. Over time, the Immortal-Demon Seed became a legend that demonic cultivators could only dream of. It is said that demonic masters who possess an Immortal-Demon Seed have extremely stable foundations, and their future potential is beyond ordinary estimation.

"Heaven is not destroying me! By fusing the Great Dao Heart Seed Demon Technique with the Great Reincarnation Technique, not only will he not detect anything unusual, but it will also temper my body and lay the foundation for my Body Seizure! Furthermore, it has fused countless Immortal-Demon Seeds that powerful demonic masters have dreamed of! An Immortal-Demon Seed that accumulates strength for a powerful breakthrough. Although its initial progress is slow, its upper limit is naturally high."

The Undying Witch Demon muttered to himself triumphantly. However, when he thought about the future troubles the Immortal-Demon Seed would bring to his cultivation, he couldn't help but frown, but quickly relaxed.

Why worry about so many troubles? I haven't even seized a body yet! When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road. If I could escape from the Immortal-Slaying Poison Valley where I saw neither sun nor sky, what kind of cultivation difficulty could stop me?

Grow quickly, little one. The day you Sprout is the day I seize a body and am reborn!

Qin Haoxuan, filled with doubt, checked the Immortal Seed again. He found that after the Immortal Seed grew larger, there were no abnormalities. His hanging heart settled a little. He returned to his dormitory, preparing to cultivate his Spiritual Sense.

According to Elder Chu, immortal cultivators who reach the level of the Ancestors attach great importance to the cultivation of Spiritual Sense. It can not only be used for combat but also for Alchemy, talisman crafting, array formations, and more. These are things that other disciples cannot comprehend; they cannot even imagine what Spiritual Sense is. However, Qin Haoxuan, who had tasted the benefits of Spiritual Sense, was particularly attentive. Especially after his difficult progress in the Immortal-Slaying Poison Valley last night, where he could only take a hundred steps, he cared even more about cultivating his Spiritual Sense.

Lying in bed in his dormitory, it was late at night, and all the other disciples were asleep. Qin Haoxuan confidently attached his soul to the Little Snake. Although he didn't plan to go to the Immortal-Slaying Poison Valley, he discovered that attaching his soul to the Little Snake was a way to cultivate his Spiritual Sense. He decided to practice for a while every day. This way, the next time he went to the Immortal-Slaying Poison Valley, he could reach the spot where the spiritual energy fluctuated and see what treasure was there.

After meditating and practicing Qi until midnight, and then attaching himself to the Little Snake to cultivate his Spiritual Sense until the fifth watch of the night, Qin Haoxuan finally stopped cultivating. He had only closed his eyes and slept for a short while before being woken by the crowing of a rooster.

Qin Haoxuan forced his eyes open. If he hadn't planted corn in the Spirit Land yesterday and wasn't curious about how much faster it would grow with a Spirit Spring underground compared to others, he really wouldn't have wanted to get out of bed.

After a hasty breakfast in the cafeteria, all the new disciples, organized by Elder Chu, set off in a grand procession towards the farmland.

From a distance, they could see that the farmland, which was barren yesterday, was now lush and covered with green sprouts. Facing the morning sun, it was full of life and pleasing to the eye.

"Haha, my corn sprouts have germinated!" a Weak Seed disciple shouted from afar, immediately earning many glares and scorn. The entire farmland, except for the corner where Qin Haoxuan and the other two were, hidden by waist-high weeds, was covered in green sprouts. Everyone's field had sprouted small seedlings about an inch deep. Especially in the fields of Zhang Kuang, Li Jing, and Zhang Yang, the seedlings were an inch and a half deep. The Spirit Lands that Elder Chu had secretly prepared for Xu Yu and Murong Chao had even grown green sprouts nearly two inches deep.

After envying Zhang Kuang and the others, someone started a guessing game.

One person asked mysteriously, "How tall do you think the corn sprouts of Qin Haoxuan and the other two have grown?"

Another tilted his head and thought for a long time. He remembered that Qin Haoxuan and the other two had also carried a lot of Spirit Spring water for irrigation yesterday. Even if the soil was barren, with Spirit Spring irrigation, some growth should occur. So, while speaking, he gestured and said, "This tall."

He extended his finger and indicated a height as high as a fingernail.

This immediately caused a roar of laughter. Others also started gesturing, but most people, including Elder Chu, firmly believed that their fields would definitely be empty. Even with Spirit Spring irrigation, without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it would be futile.

"Why guess randomly? We'll know if we go and see."

At the suggestion of one disciple, even Elder Chu was moved. He took the lead and followed behind Qin Haoxuan and the other two. Li Jing, Zhang Kuang, and the others followed behind Elder Chu, and seeing that they were all going to watch the excitement, the other disciples also followed.

Yesterday, after being rejected by Xu Yu and Murong Chao, Elder Chu felt resentful. These two special Immortal Seed disciples did not listen to him but blindly believed the nonsense of a Weak Seed disciple who slept in class. This made him very unhappy.

Based on Elder Chu's experience, even watering such barren land with a hundred buckets of Spirit Spring water would be useless. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it was difficult to grow crops on land that was worse than ordinary soil.

Thinking of this, a narrow smile appeared on his face as he imagined Qin Haoxuan and the other two being utterly humiliated amidst the ridicule of the other disciples. It would be as satisfying as eating a Ginseng Fruit!

Hearing the chaotic discussions, Qin Haoxuan's expression remained as usual. He, who had attached himself to the Little Snake last night, walked towards his Spirit Land tiredly. Xu Yu and Murong Chao, following behind him, did not feel as confident as Qin Haoxuan. Their hearts began to pound, imagining how they would face others, especially Elder Chu's mocking gaze, if no crops grew.

As special Immortal Seed disciples, being openly ridiculed by those Weak Seed disciples would be unbearable for them.

When they reached the weedy land, Qin Haoxuan, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly stopped. He, who had been daydreaming all the way, suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen how others' crops had grown yet. He specifically looked at the two Spirit Lands planted by Elder Chu, smiled, and then turned to lead the way without a word.

This Elder Chu was indeed holding a grudge against him. The two plots he planted were clearly intended for Xu Yu and Murong Chao. He had used the Spirit Rain Technique yesterday, equivalent to watering one mu of land with a hundred buckets of Spirit Spring water, and the corn seedlings had grown two inches deep. His underground Spirit Spring had nourished it all night, so it should be stronger than his Spirit Rain Technique, right?

In the eyes of Elder Chu and the others, Qin Haoxuan's behavior was a sign of humility. With playful smiles, they followed closely behind Xu Yu and Murong Chao, ready to witness their three-person spectacle.

The few lackeys of Li Jing, who had been driven away by Qin Haoxuan yesterday, followed them from a distance, already preparing their taunts, just waiting for them to make fools of themselves.

Walking past the weedy ground, they were greeted by a patch of vibrant green. Each corn seedling looked like it had been meticulously carved from the finest jadeite. The quality alone was much better than that of Zhang Kuang, Li Jing, or even Elder Chu. Moreover, each corn seedling was three inches tall, much taller than the corn seedlings planted by the others. Even Elder Chu was stunned speechless by this sight.

The lackeys of Li Jing, who had been driven away by Qin Haoxuan yesterday, saw Xu Yu, Murong Chao, Zhang Kuang, Li Jing, and Elder Chu at the forefront, all frozen in shock. They thought their expressions were because Qin Haoxuan and the other two's land was completely barren. In their opinion, it would be a miracle if crops could grow in such hard, stone-like soil.

Immediately, they couldn't help but start mocking, "I knew nothing would grow in this piece of junk land. Let alone Elder Chu and His Highness's fields, which have at least inch-and-a-half or even two-inch deep seedlings, even our fields have grown about an inch deep. It's a pity that Xu Yu and Murong Chao wasted a whole day! Serves you right for not listening to Elder Chu!"

Their words immediately drew laughter from the other disciples who were equally unaware. Some disciples began to flatter Elder Chu, Zhang Kuang, Li Jing, and even Zhang Yang, praising how well their crops had grown.

The louder their flattery, the more it was equivalent to slapping Elder Chu and the others in the face...

"Shut up!" Seeing that they were endless, Elder Chu, ashamed and with nowhere to hide, let out a roar from his throat. He formed a hand seal, transforming his spiritual power into countless fireballs, which accurately struck the mouths of each flattering disciple, burning them until they cried out in pain.

At this moment, those flatterers felt something was wrong. When they gathered around to look again, they saw the three-inch-tall corn seedlings in Qin Haoxuan and the others' fields, as exquisite and beautiful as jade carvings. They were all stunned into silence.

Even setting aside the height, which was a full inch taller than the corn seedlings in Elder Chu's field, the quality alone was far superior to those in his field. If the quality of the corn seedlings in Qin Haoxuan's three fields was only average, then the corn seedlings in Elder Chu's field couldn't even be considered crooked melons and split dates. As for those in Zhang Kuang and Li Jing's fields... they could only be considered weeds.

How... how is this possible! This question flashed through everyone's minds, including Elder Chu.

Looking at the dry, black, and hard soil beneath the jade-carved corn seedlings, they saw that this land, which looked worse than inferior, had produced corn seedlings that surpassed even those in the best Spirit Lands.

Qin Haoxuan's crops grew better than Elder Chu's, earning him envious glances, but more so, jealousy and hatred.

If Li Jing and Zhang Kuang, as Purple Seed disciples, had their crops grow well, it would be considered natural in the eyes of others. After all, they were Purple Seed disciples. But how could Qin Haoxuan, merely a Weak Seed, have his crops grow better than others, and even surpass Elder Chu?

Not only could these disciples not understand, but even Elder Chu himself, with a face full of shame, was completely baffled. Could there be something special about his land?

Elder Chu looked at Qin Haoxuan, who appeared unfazed by praise or criticism, as if he were looking at a monster. He wondered how Qin Haoxuan had found these three plots of land. Could it be that a god had appeared in a dream while he was sleeping in class?

Facing Elder Chu's piercing gaze, Qin Haoxuan's expression remained as calm as ever, as if his crops growing better than Elder Chu's was not a rare occurrence and nothing to be surprised about. The after-effects of attaching himself to the Little Snake began to take hold, and waves of sleepiness washed over him. He no longer cared about the astonished gazes of others and fell asleep on the ridge of the field.

Elder Chu, his accumulated frustration bubbling, quietly left the scene. He sought out the other elders of Spirit Field Valley, and together they delved into the mystery of these three plots of land. Their discussion grew heated, with arguments erupting. After a full hour spent scrutinizing the surrounding mountain terrain and ley lines, they finally concluded that residual Spirit Spring water lay beneath the surface.
