He Ping heard clearly that the quarrel was between a man and a woman. He had no interest in exploring other people's privacy, but the modified "Sound-Listening Immortal Ears" was too sensitive to the surrounding sounds. Even the movements on the deck and ship could not be hidden from him, let alone the movements in the next room that were too close.

"It seems that a man and a woman are quarreling..."

After listening for a while, he gradually understood what the two people were arguing about.

"Sister Xue, why are you so angry? I can't even think of this. If we hadn't come up with this trick, how would we have had the chance to escape to Hairen together!"

"Chang Shihong, you idiot, that map is so important. If you gave it to that person, wouldn't you have leaked our..."

The two of them talked very fast, but their voices were extremely subtle, like gnats. Only these two people could hear clearly what they were talking about--

"This man and this woman seem to have escaped from somewhere and are evading pursuit by a powerful enemy."

He Ping frowned slightly. He felt a little in his heart that he could avoid complications as much as possible. Who would have expected that he would encounter such a thing after getting on the boat.

"If I had known, I would have chartered an entire ship. But if I did this, it would attract too much attention and the gain would outweigh the loss..."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed in his heart. Then, he used Sound-Listening Immortal Ears to inquire about the activities in several other guest rooms on the stern. After some exploration, he basically knew that there were six guest rooms here, and all of them were occupied by guests.

"The top floor of the stern building is used for other purposes. Only the two floors below have been converted into guest rooms. I live in No. A on the second floor. There are also No. B and C in the second floor. The first floor has the same layout."

The man and woman lived in room B on the second floor, and in the room C next to them, a pair of grandparents lived. The old man often coughed, and his granddaughter was waiting beside him...

Room A on the first floor downstairs should be occupied by a middle-aged man whose identity is unknown; room B should be occupied by two young people; and room C at the end should be occupied by a woman.

These are the information he got through "Sound-Listening Immortal Ears". This kind of information is not as good as the information that can be obtained through the use of soul sensing. However, using the soul to spy will make those monks with powerful souls aware of this kind of spying, which will arouse the hostility of the other party.

Using Sound-Listening Immortal Ears to gather information is different. Sound-Listening Immortal Ears and Puppet Eye Spirit Orb have one thing in common, that is, they do not rely on the soul, but rely on sensory characteristics. In this way, the monk's perception will not be triggered.

The role He Ping is playing now is just a little Daoist priest Pure Heart Sect who is proficient in martial arts and swordsmanship but not good at Daoism. He inexplicably uses the power of his soul to find out the reality of others. Doesn't his status as a monk mean that he has brought it upon himself?

He was not that stupid, so he didn't bother to pay attention to what was going on around him. He simply turned off Sound-Listening Immortal Ears's wide range of perception and focused on himself.

"According to the records in the next chapter of <Seed Demon Technique>, I have already refined three Seed Demon Technique species, namely Resentful Demon, Death Demon and Yin Demon. Next, as long as I refine the other five major demon species, I will be able to gather eight major demon souls, and then combine them with eight accomplished souls. The preparations for the oath-sworn demon's ascension to the altar are almost complete."

<Seed Demon Technique> The next chapter introduces the nine major demon species respectively. These nine demon species can also divide countless troubled demon species, the five aggregates are blazing, can break roots, and can also be used by all kinds of external demons to create obstacles and initiate various disruptive undertakings.

These nine demon species are: Resentful Demon, Death Demon, Longevity Demon, Plague Demon, Yin Demon, Yang Demon, Calamity Demon, Realm Demon, Son of Heaven Demon.

"Son of Heaven Demon is also called Imperial Body Demon. It is the method of Nine Refinements of Nether Demons in the first chapter of <Seed Demon Technique> that is recorded in the book. A wonderful method that can kill souls and turn demons into demons. Unless the monk Clear Void Lineage is promoted from the Daoist stage to a higher level and sees the extraordinary and the holy realm, it is possible to cultivate Son of Heaven Demon!"

Son of Heaven Demon is the supreme and noble great Divine Ability and Great Cheng. They have their own unpredictable, extremely subtle and mysterious magical thoughts.

It doesn't matter if Son of Heaven Demon doesn't come to the world. Once he comes to the world, Jiuxi will be incarnated, which is one of the highest achievements of Sanyuan Clear Void Lineage, known as "Heavenly Demon Nine Bestowals".

He Ping sighed in his heart. He knew very well that even if he succeeded in entering the Dao with the help of <Eight Lives Eight Deaths Demonic Secret Art>, it would still be too early to achieve the real Dao.

"Now, I have refined three demon species. Next, I only need to refine the fourth demon species 'Yang Demon'. Then I can use demons to breed demons, and use the four major demon species to breed the other four Seed Demon Technique species!"

He Ping, Resentful Demon, Death Demon, and Yin Demon have all been refined, so it is very easy to get started.

The Seed Demon Technique method requires absorbing the five turbid auras from various physical, mental and soul thoughts. In order to refine the demonic seeds, he usually lodges the demonic seeds in the souls of the four captured monks, and from time to time burns them with Yin fire to torture these five living souls, thereby stimulating the auras of Yin, darkness, death and death.

"It's almost time, so the fourth Yang Demon species should be able to be refined!"

He closed his eyes tightly, and a pure thought penetrated into the shadow on the ground. A huge space was formed in his shadow. In the dark space, there were sixteen black magic flags specially refined.

This is the space in the shadow of He Ping. After he made Chixinzi into his own living puppet, the spaces in the shadows of both parties were connected together and became much larger than before. Moreover, during this time, his fourth Shadow Deity "Chifu" also awakened, and the space became extra spacious.

In this dark space, there are many items stored, among which the sixteen newly-refined demon flags emit a faint light. Each flag is pitch black, embroidered with gold and silver edges, and all kinds of ugly and ferocious devils are drawn with bone powder on the long flags, as well as countless mysterious runic restrictions.

The souls of the five monks captured by He Ping were all sealed on the five magic flags, including the soul of Moxiuluo who became an idiot, and Fragrance Sect The souls of the four people are controlled by him. Every day from the time of You to Hai, they will be roasted by demonic flames and tortured with various Secret Method by the demons to condense the dark energy and strengthen the demons.

He Ping's thoughts swept over several long flags, and the sounds of cursing, begging for mercy, and crying came from those long flags.

"Don't be too noisy!"

His cold will was transmitted through his mind.

"I want to practice a great art, and I need the help of your soul. If you recognize each other, after my Secret Method is completed, I will protect your souls to return to reincarnation. Otherwise, if you stay on my banner, you can preserve your soul and have a chance to be reborn. If you continue to be impatient, you will be refined to death by the devil's fire!"

He Ping then used demon seeds to create all kinds of delusions and pains to inflict on these living souls. After a while, the monks who had been tortured no longer dared to tremble anymore, and they all became as silent as cicadas and stopped making a sound.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he secretly pinched Method Formula and recited a spell, and a ball of black energy was drawn out from the shadow, spiraling into a ball of black smoke in the palm of his other hand.

He Ping's palms are as white as jade, holding this black smoke. This black smoke is very light, if you don't look carefully, you will think you are dazzled.

"Yang Demon Seed is finally here!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the black smoke in his palm suddenly jumped and turned into the shadow of a golden-armored god who was less than an inch long.

"This is the Yang Demon species... I remember Chixinzi said that Sanyuan Devil Palace used to be called Sanyuan Daoist Palace, and there was a Troop Altar Divine Art under the sect., set up a divine list, and summon the art of war from all directions. After Three Yuan Lineage's disciples are taught the rites, they will be able to deploy the protective soldiers and horses and the altar-suppressing divine weapons. It seems that these so-called soldiers and horses were created based on the practice of magic..."

Sanyuan Daoist Palace, once tried to build its own Shinto system, with the Three Officials as the center of belief, and established a three-realm system integrating heaven, underworld, and water palace. This system includes civil and military positions, as well as Heaven Official generals, the upper, middle and lower altars, and the complete Shinto structure. All the "gods" in these three realms are illusory, and they are all summoned and given laws.

"Resentment, death, longevity, and epidemics are the life and death of mortal desires; Yin, Yang, calamity, and realm correspond to the internal and external demon examinations of monks. There is also the emperor's body Son of Heaven Demon, the head of the nine demons, sitting motionless in the middle of the sky, symbolizing the head of the three officials who control all spirits and examine the sins of all living beings..."

He Ping was thinking in his head, and he seemed to have a glimmer of understanding. As soon as he closed his right palm, the golden-armored god disappeared in his palm.

After the Yang Demon seed was refined, it would continue to grow and be ready for use. He continued to close his eyes, concentrate on the exercises, refine his soul, and use the Four Limbs and Five Senses method recorded in <Body Cultivation Furnace> to open the five senses.

Five days have passed.

During these five days, he did not leave the house and studied silently.

He Ping works extremely hard on weekdays and spends most of his energy on cultivation. He practiced Immortal Puppet Sect's <Formless Secret Treasury>. Later, he also practiced the Sanyuan Palace's <Seed Demon Technique> technique. Through the Undead Abomination heart, he realized the power of Three Yang Calamity.

Later, he mastered some Outer Dao methods, and obtained the fragment of "Pituoluo Corpse Liberation Canon" from Indaluo, one of the "Thirteen Golden Generals". He usually had to spend energy to study different techniques, and he was much more pressed for time than ordinary monks.

In the past few days, he had made some small gains in cultivation, so he simply stayed in seclusion on the boat and concentrated on cultivating.

He refined Law Technique, made puppets, and could control his own telekinesis in the shadow space.

The guests and sailors on the ship all felt a little strange about the Daoist priest Mo Wenmo. He almost lived in a snail's nest on the boat. In such a big house, the Daoist priest could just stay in the house and not go out. He could still bear his temper.

Naturally, outsiders don't know that He Ping is practicing secretly. Of course, if someone investigates, they won't be a little strange about his behavior.

After all, he was able to do two things at once. On weekdays, he would hold a book in the house and pretend to be as close to an "ordinary person" as possible. In addition to eating three meals a day, he would pace back and forth in the house, or drink some tea or something. He tried his best to give people the impression that his personality was quiet but not active, and his daily life was very monotonous. He did not reveal the habits of a monk.

He spent five days like this and found it a bit boring, so he asked Chixinzi when he could get there near Flying Ray Island.

"This route is going to a deep-sea island among the islands in the outer sea. In another day, it should be close to the sea area of Flying Ray Island."

Chixinzi stayed in the shadow. He could not see the outside world and was not familiar with the waterway. He could only make rough guesses.

"If we really reach Flying Ray Island, it will be out of the outer sea of Great You's national borders. Great You will often send navy ships to patrol its own coastal waters to protect the merchant ships at sea, but when it comes to the outer sea area, the situation is different."

"When entering the open sea, there are a large number of pirates, the three major chambers of commerce, Four Island Heroes, and the Seven Overseas Survivors. Without strong strength and ships, it is very dangerous at sea. However, this ship is Baocanghong's ship. It carries the flag of the company and has some influence in the outer sea. Ordinary pirates will not take the idea of this company."

"Junior brother, don't be too anxious. Things are not as good at sea as on land. Anyway, if nothing happens, you will be able to see the island when it passes near Flying Ray Island. This ship must be close to Flying Ray Island for supplies. It is not too late to make plans after we get the things."

"That makes sense!"

He Ping Hearing what he said, he nodded slightly.

This Flying Ray Island used to be a small fishing village. Because it was close to a newly developed route to and from the open sea, it gradually developed. A port was built from the fishing village to provide fresh water and food to passing sea ships, and the business gradually grew.

However, Chixinzi told He Ping a secret. Rogue Cultivator Lineage, who occupies Flying Ray Island, has the patriarch's surname Sun. This Rogue Cultivator surnamed Sun, as well as Sun Family on the island, are all Chixinzi's former subordinates.

"Hey, this is not a strange thing. The maritime forces are chaotic, and most of them are mixed with good and evil, good and bad. For example, Divine Wind Kingdom's fleet is sometimes a merchant ship, and occasionally a guest pirate, but it has converged a lot over the years. As for the three major chambers of commerce and Four Island Heroes, they can make a fortune overseas, mostly by means of robbery, which is not surprising!"

Just as He Ping was communicating with Chixinzi, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

"Pirates, pirates are coming!

!"

Such a sound came from the deck.
