The Demon God's Revelation, Bilusi's Dream

"Looks like my craft is quite profitable." Lin Xu smiled, and with a thought, a withered branch flew up, was enveloped in spiritual fire, and in an instant transformed into a sword sheath, the sheath's surface covered with dark patterns like pine needles covered in snow.

He sheathed his sword and casually tossed the Azure Light Sword to Li Yingqiu.

"W-what is this...?" Li Yingqiu hurriedly caught the sword hilt, her throat tightening, her voice trembling. "You... you want me to sell it on your behalf?"

Lin Xu nodded. "Thirty percent commission."

Li Yingqiu's fingers trembled slightly, and the Qingguang Sword hummed softly in her palm, as if in response to her suddenly quickened heartbeat.

She took a deep breath, her nails digging almost into the wood of the sword scabbard. "I... I'll definitely sell it for the highest price!"

Lin Xu nodded. "Where are you from?"

"Azure Prefecture Cloud Ridge." Li Yingqiu's voice was slightly hoarse. "Daoist Master, what is your surname?"

"Lin." He traced the flickering lamp between his fingertips, his gaze sweeping across the distance. "Go on your way. I'll contact you if I need anything."

With a flash, he had already disappeared into the woods several feet away.

For a moment, Li Yingqiu was slightly taken aback when she saw the red-robed Daoist disappear into the shadows of the trees.

"Oh, Master Lin, where should I look for you?" she asked hurriedly, but the woods were silent except for the rustling of the leaves in the mountain breeze.

Lin Xu returned to his cave and focused his attention back on the Fallen Demon camp.

Looking for Li Yingqiu was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Real people are not like NPCs in the Spirit Realm; they have real emotions, calculations, and variables.

This azure sword was merely a test—during their conversation earlier, Lin Xu had already subtly probed Li Yingqiu's sea of consciousness with his spiritual sense.

Although these were just superficial emotions and fleeting thoughts, they made Lin Xu realize that this person was kind-hearted and that he was earning money to raise money for the medical expenses of his only relative.

"Alone, without a team to support you, and with a seriously ill sister at home waiting for life-saving money... it all depends on whether you can stay true to yourself."

After surveying the area with the help of the Evil Eye, Lin Xu shook his head helplessly.

There are very few monsters that are worthy of one's attention, but this group of Fallen Demon is the most numerous, and their appearance is considered "decent," at least humanoid.

With a thought, a consciousness, aided by the vision of the Dharma Protector Evil Eye, stared at a Fallen Shaman in the monster camp.

Compared to its kind, this wizard has one more point in intelligence, reaching 9 points.

The difference in attributes is not surprising, after all, among the villagers recruited by Peach Tree Village, there are still "excellent" individuals like Chen A'niu.

In the blink of an eye, a subtle spiritual sense quietly enveloped the chosen wizard, who was exercising after a meal. The wizard froze slightly, his body standing still.

Its companions nearby gave it a strange look, then continued wandering around the campsite on their own.

These NPCs, spawned from the Spirit Realm, possess only the most basic survival instincts; very few are outcasts capable of transcending instincts and using intelligence to think.

At this moment, the chosen Fallen Shaman is undergoing a dramatic change in its short demonic life.

Its consciousness was pulled into the illusion by Lin Xu from afar. The magnificent demon palace, the majestic demon god, and the trillion-strong army that suffocated the poor little wizard made the timid creature tremble with fear.

Fear robbed it of its ability to think; it only remembered kneeling on the floor covered with bones, and the demon asking if it was willing to serve Him. The little wizard immediately chose to submit.

As Spirit Kindling entered the brain, the dark sea of consciousness was illuminated, a narrow sea of consciousness was opened up, and light shone for the first time into the depths of the demon's evil consciousness.

"I bestow upon you the name 'Bilusi.' Go forth and bring your kind into my system," the demon god declared.

When the Fallen Shaman regained his senses, he found himself back in the monster camp.

"Rakanishu!" it cried out, falling to the ground, startling the other Fallen Demon in the camp.

The wizard believed this was the power of the "Great Demon God." It never doubted the possibility of illusion. The unprecedented power flowing through its body made it firmly believe in the Demon God's teachings.

Because Bilusi's intelligence attribute did not meet the minimum standard for inheritance, Lin Xu had to repeatedly compress the Lamp Kindling Spirit Transformation Chapter to reduce the difficulty of cultivation.

Once its intelligence grows, it can unlock a more complete set of cultivation methods.

Lin Xu personally intervened, opening Bilusi's Divine Aperture and saving it the process of converting its cultivation method.

The Fallen Shaman, specializing in fire, unlocked his bloodline potential and immediately displayed formidable power.

"Brain Spirit Essence Tempering Method" is a technique created by Lin Xu based on his research in Brain Deity in his previous life to develop neural networks.

A complete set of techniques can refine the entire body's neural network, increasing both intelligence and nerve reaction speed, thus accelerating agility.

Bilusi is a magic-based professional. Lin Xu taught him only half of the skills, which could only develop his brainpower and increase his wisdom, but the cultivation difficulty was lower and the cultivation speed was faster.

The fireball burning in his hand was as big as a football. When Bilusi hurled it at the oncoming horde of wights, the exploding fireball blasted wights within a radius of seven or eight meters into pieces.

The shattered corpses were charred in the flames, and the burning ghouls howled as they fled, illuminating the awe-inspiring eyes of the Fallen Demon in the camp.

"Rakanishu!" Bilusi brandished his bone staff.

"Rakanishu!" The Fallen Demon and wizards in the camp responded immediately.

When Lin Xu emerged from his meditation, he looked at the Source Fire surrounding him with a puzzled expression. "Why does the protective Source Fire larger?"

I glanced at the Source Fire's reserves with a puzzled look; the amount there had quietly increased.

Lin Xu did some calculations, then checked the memories of the guardians, subtracted the amount of Source Fire he had gained in battles during his seclusion, and finally calculated that he still had a full 8 units of Source Fire left over.

This number is not low. In a battle, one would need to eliminate at least a hundred low-level monsters to obtain so many Source Fire Fragment.

Lin Xu frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Bilusi.

The Fallen Demon camp had changed. The campfire and large iron pot that used to be in the center of the camp had been moved and replaced by a wooden statue.

The Fallen Demon's abstract art style made it difficult for him to discern the true form of the statues, but he knew the source of this change from the shift in ownership of the camp.

"Bilusi did a great job!" Lin Xu was overjoyed. He never expected that a seed he planted casually would take root and sprout so quickly!

"I thought it would take some time to build up, but now it's all good. We don't need to worry about the outer defenses on the back of Azure Cloud Mountain."

His gaze fell on the camp's recruitment board. The recruitment fee for Fallen Demon was 100 Dharma Coin, and the recruitment fee for a Wizard was 500 Dharma Coin.

"Good quality at a low price," Lin Xu thought without hesitation, spending 900 Dharma Coin to recruit the Fallen Demon and the Wizard.

Suddenly, five more Fallen Demon appeared in the camp, and a group of red-skinned dwarves ran around excitedly in the 300-square-meter camp.
