Demonic Nature Grass

"So, your memories about the Sea Dragon Vein were extracted long ago and placed on the Blood Droplet, which was then kept safe by your three disciples?"

"I secretly told them that this is a new item from the sect leader, and only by keeping it can they inherit the sect leader's consciousness. So those three wicked disciples shouldn't throw it away carelessly."

"Elder Min Man Min said expressionlessly."

Perhaps due to the influence of the demonic path, the implantation of the Three Yin Life and Death Talisman was even more effective than that on Zheng Qingbo, and the old man immediately regained some of his memories.

The good news is that the old man did not lose his memories in this regard due to the extraction of his essence and soul. On the contrary, the old man knew that he was a key figure in the eyes of Heavenly Gate and the New Demonic Path, so he had long ago split his soul and divided this "secret of the sect" into three parts, entrusting them to his three disciples for safekeeping.

The bad news is that these three apprentices were also killed and scattered by people sent by the Demonic Machine Hall, and their fate remains unknown.

In addition to the "Blood-Piercing Essence-Reversal Art", Hu Mang also finally obtained the core Cultivation Method of the Blood Demon lineage of the Old Demon Sect, the "Blood Shadow Divine Art".

However, after reading it, Hu Mang was quite disgusted.

Compared to the Devil Cultivation Method of the Azure Mysterious Realm, the Blood Shadow Divine Art is far inferior. It only has three levels, and even if one cultivates it to the top, one can only reach the Golden Core.

Considering that the five great demonic sect leaders of the old era were only at the Nascent Soul, this level is not incomprehensible.

After all, according to the old ways, the real demonic techniques at the level of a cult leader were mostly found within the cult leader himself.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the entry requirements for this "Blood Shadow Divine Art" are not high. Regardless of whether you have four or five Spirit Root, you can cultivate Root Bone, as it is a blood technique in itself.

Hu Mang suddenly had an idea and took out the Flesh and Blood Golden Core that Jiang Kuisha had given him earlier.

This thing is poisonous; if you cultivate it to a high level, you might be possessed. But if you give it to someone, it might be able to create a Golden Core level Devil Cultivator in a short time.

This side effect is a bit of a headache.

Moreover, Hu Mang suspected that this thing was related to the demonic sect of the Blood Shadow lineage. Sure enough, as soon as he took out the Golden Core, Elder Min stared at it with a blank look.

Do you recognize this object?

Elder Min spoke up, "I have a junior brother who was also a member of the Holy Cult Sect. Back then, he was scattered by the Heavenly Gate army and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. I always thought he was killed by the Heavenly Gate people, but now it seems that someone else killed him."

Hu Mang thought of the bizarre and unpredictable cyber Law Artifact of the Celestial Person Remnants and the modified prosthetic Law Artifact of the New Demonic Path. If he thought the two were completely unrelated, then he was simply blind.

He might have been killed by his own people in the demonic cultivation world, and then his body was dug up and used for experiments.

The Hu Mang continued, "After swallowing this creature, it will constantly devour a person's blood, flesh, and vital essence, and it needs to devour one living person every month. Are you aware of this?"

Elder Min took the Golden Core pill, sensed it, and said disdainfully, "Only outsiders need to do that. When you reach the third level of the Blood Shadow Divine Art, you transform into a ball of blood shadow essence, merging with the pill, without needing any external aids. As for the so-called devouring living people to increase cultivation, our Holy Cult does indeed have such a method, but after absorption, it still requires many days of refinement. What this person is doing is more like our sect's blood sacrifice method, a means of cultivating blood demon children."

So, it was CyberTech that modified the magical arts?

"After you use it, will you still need to devour living people?" Hu Mang asked.

"It's necessary for improving cultivation; if you don't improve, it's not necessary."

"Alright, go and digest the Golden Core first. Once your Golden Core cultivation has recovered, I'll have other uses for it."

Hu Mang nodded.

I just received a call from the Demonic Machine Hall; the things he ordered have arrived.

On the second floor of the Demonic Machine Hall, Sun Youcai still had a smiling face and was very easy to talk to, but combined with the Demonic Machine Hall and howling sounds coming from below, it was a bit creepy.

However, Hu Mang didn't care. He was carefully examining the seeds, which looked like copper pellets, and there were three large boxes of them.

This is precisely the "Demonic Nature Grass" seed that Hu Mang ordered through the other party's demonic channels, and this Demonic Nature Grass is the most essential herb in the Bone-Molding Pill.

Sun Youcai said:

"Seeds are easy to obtain, but the demonic herb is difficult to cultivate. Brother Hu, where do you plan to plant this herb? It can't be inside the Heavenly Gate, can it?"

Hu Mang didn't answer. After confirming the quality of the seeds, he directly put the three large boxes of seeds into his storage box, and then smiled.

"That's confidential, I'm sorry, Brother Sun."

Sun Youcai, however, was magnanimous. "Since it's a secret, I won't ask. But we're both members of the Seven Absolutes, so if you find any treasures or methods that can enhance your bloodline, please don't forget me."

"Certainly."

"And Brother Hu, you need to be extra careful when you unseal your demonic veins."

"Brother Sun, what do you mean?" Hu Mang asked, puzzled.

"Our bloodline has many advantages. Each time a demonic vein is awakened, it's equivalent to automatically gaining a new demonic talent. Moreover, we don't have to worry about our aptitude awakening and our demonic nature becoming too strong, leading to a drastic change in our character. However, there are also disadvantages. Our initial aptitude is not as good as other demonic holy sons. If we can't activate it, we will die. In addition, there is another troublesome aspect: every attempt to activate a demonic vein carries the risk of failure."

Sun Youcai probably saw through Hu Mang's intentions and said meaningfully, "Seven demonic veins. Awakening each one is several times more difficult than the previous one. Failure is even more troublesome, as the damage to the bloodline is not an injury that will last for just a day or two."

"So, how many demonic veins have you awakened?"

Hu Mang had only asked casually, not expecting an answer, but to his surprise, the other party actually did.

"Two, Shrimp Swimming and Cauldron Boiling, but they failed to activate the third Yanyuedao Devil Meridian and haven't recovered yet."

So honest?

Hu Mang looked at the other person in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the other party continued, "The Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians are divided into four lower veins and three upper veins. Among them, Shrimp Swimming, Cauldron Boiling, Roof Leak, and Unraveled Rope are the four lower veins, while Fish Soaring, Stone-Flicking, and Yanyuedao are the three upper veins. The difficulty of unlocking the three upper veins is far greater than that of the four lower veins. In fact, each unlocking is a life-or-death test!"

"However, once even one of the three upper meridians is unlocked, one can possess demonic aptitude comparable to all others except for the 'Big Dipper Devil Fetus.' If one can unlock seven demonic meridians, even the 'Big Dipper Devil Fetus' would be a formidable opponent."

Brother Sun, what do you mean?

No wonder my magical aptitude skyrocketed after unlocking the "Stone-Flicking Devil Meridians".

But what is the origin of this "Big Dipper Devil Fetus"? It requires the full release of all Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians to be comparable to it.

Besides, I didn't find unlocking the "Stone-Flicking Devil Meridians" that difficult.

Hu Mang's mind raced. Could it be the stimulating effect of Buddhist Cultivation Method?

"It's precisely because we suffered losses when Unlocked Devil Meridian that we don't want you to suffer the same fate, brother. In such cases, we usually share our unlocked demonic vein information with others to prevent the other members of the Seven Greats from suffering from a lack of experience when Unlocked Devil Meridian."

Sun Youcai paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, we also encourage other practitioners of the Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians to share relevant information about their demonic veins with us. This mutual exchange will greatly increase our chances of unlocking our demonic veins."

Hu Mang now understood why a demonic cultivator would be so friendly to him, a "spy from the Heavenly Gate," and he also somewhat understood why a small circle of "Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians" had emerged.

"If I may ask, Brother Sun, do you know anyone from the upper three branches of the Liberation Army?"

Sun Youcai said, "Yes, but they all failed. I failed to liberate the 'Yanyuedao Devil Meridian,' while the Old Xue I know failed to liberate the 'Stone-Flicking.'"

"Legend has it that once the 'Stone-Flicking Devil Meridians' is unlocked, Devil Cultivator like us will automatically possess the highest level of demonic aptitude. Therefore, among the seven demonic veins, the 'Stone-Flicking Devil Meridians' is the most sought-after, but also the most difficult to unlock."

"I wonder which demonic meridians Brother Hu has unlocked?"

Sun Youcai's eyes were fixed intently.

"As for me," Hu Mang pondered for a moment, finally revealing part of the truth, "I unsealed the two demonic veins Cauldron Boiling Unraveled Rope."

"So enthusiastic! I should have known better than to tell the truth."

In the evening, after finishing his business, Hu Mang returned to Zheng Family Garden and looked at the fiery sunset in the distance, muttering to himself.

He hadn't expected that simply revealing two demonic veins Sun Youcai to become ten times more enthusiastic. If he hadn't insisted on leaving, he might have been forced to stay overnight.

"If the other party isn't lying, they also possess 'Cauldron Boiling,' so what they value is 'Unraveled Rope Devil Meridian'?"

Unraveled Rope Devil Meridian: The veins open up the entire body, the knots untie the vital energy, like untying a tether, allowing one's vital energy to surge dozens of times, shattering the shackles of the physical body, and freeing one from all stagnation.

"Do those in the demonic path value vital energy so much? Are they planning to return to the Devil Cultivation Method of dual cultivation?"

Just as Hu Mang was wondering what was going on, a lane owner jogged over, whispered a few words in his ear, and handed him an invitation.

Hu Mang didn't even glance at it, and asked directly, "And who is this Zheng Qingyuan?"

"The boss's fifth son, after the eldest and second sons were whipped, this one has the most momentum."

How did he get the letter to you?

The alleyway owner rubbed his nose. "My wife was asked to do this, and I couldn't refuse, so I brought her over."

"Oh, have your wife prepare some medicine later."

"Ah?"

"Go and collect ten lashes from the Datuk Gong himself. The next time you bring them, it will be one hundred lashes, then a thousand. I'll see who's thicker, your face or your backside."

"Ah!?"

Hu Mang casually tossed the invitation into a nearby trash can. He thought to himself, "I'm a man who wants to be a loyal subject; associating with the descendants of the Zheng family would only damage my reputation."

Hu Mang didn't care about this small detail and quickly went to Demon-Subduing City to plant Demonic Nature Grass.

Meanwhile, in a large restaurant in Java, the fifth son of the Zheng family waited until it was completely dark, but the person he was waiting for never appeared, and his expression became quite unpleasant.

"Haha, it seems the rumors are true after all. That Heavenly Blood Python is indeed loyal and devoted, refusing both beauty and wealth. I wonder where Boss Zheng gets his charm to recruit such a talent."
