#152 - What kind of opportunity is this! Isn't it just diverting trouble to the north?
“Tsk, little sister, don't you think that little Huang seems very hostile towards us?”
The moment they left the city, the ox cart that Jin Hong was riding in disappeared from everyone's sight like the wind. Xu Chengxian couldn't help but turn his head and say to Ling Xiao.
“It's not hostility, it's killing intent.” Ling Xiao snorted softly, “They think too highly of themselves, and they are stubborn and self-willed. Anyone with some ability and a good background will more or less have this kind of problem.”
Yu Feilong was like this, and so was Jin Hong.
Both of them are also narrow-minded, harboring anger and resentment, and like to vent their anger on others.
This kind of petty person who is vengeful will only allow him to be sorry to others, but will not allow others to be sorry to him.
“Now that we have offended them, and we can't clean them up completely, there will definitely be future troubles.”
According to Ling Xiao's previous temper, he should have struck first to gain the upper hand and eliminate future troubles.
Who has the patience to deal with these troubles?
“I also think that if we meet them in the future, they will inevitably cause us trouble.” Xu Chengxian said.
Jin Hong and Yu Feilong's actions and performance in the fighting arena undoubtedly made him very disgusted.
But he is the winner.
If these two guys learned their lesson and didn't cause him any trouble in the future, then he wouldn't mind being magnanimous and letting them go.
But now it seems that Yu Feilong is not saying much. Anyway, this Jin Hong doesn't seem like he will give up easily.
If we meet in the future, we have to be careful.
“The arena competition, the victory and defeat have been decided, it should have ended there. How can they hold grudges and even harbor killing intent? Tsk, compared to him, the Black Flood Dragon seems a bit more genuinely cute.”
Not to mention Hong Lie, who is truly a rare and commendable person who understands reason.
“Speaking of which, it's a bit strange, why didn't he expose me yesterday?”
Xu Chengxian suddenly remembered yesterday, when he had just come out of the fighting arena, Jin Hong didn't seem to be acting like this.
Although the hostility was very obvious, when he pretended to be seriously injured yesterday, providing an excuse for Ling Xiao and the others to ask the Flood Dragon Demon Marquis for flood dragon essence blood, Jin Hong, who knew the inside story, didn't say a word.
Logically speaking, the other party shouldn't have let go of this opportunity.
“Perhaps it was for the sake of face. Your serious injury means a narrow victory, which also makes him appear to have strong combat power. Or perhaps he simply didn't see through it.” Ling Xiao said.
Yesterday, Xu Chengxian's injury was at least seventy percent real.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide it from the Flood Dragon Demon Marquis's eyes.
It's just that they don't know the true details of the Flower Snake.
In terms of the wounds inflicted on the demon body, the traces of blood energy dissipation, and the consumption of his divine sense, it was indeed almost to the point where it could damage the foundation of an ordinary great demon.
“These can't be faked.”
Only Xu Chengxian, with his sufficient foundation, could withstand this kind of reckless behavior in battle.
The traces of battle are difficult to completely hide.
What's more, the Flower Snake hasn't done any concealment.
The appearance and dissipation of any power can be traced.
So when he appeared in front of the great demons, everyone could sense how much he had paid in the battle.
“With your performance yesterday, I'm afraid it will make people suspect that you self-detonated your demon core.”
The damage to the demon body and the consumption of mana were obvious.
It's just that the Lingtai Consciousness Sea is not easy to directly check.
Even the Flood Dragon Demon Marquis couldn't treat him as a prisoner and investigate him at will.
Faced with Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi's requests, and not wanting to go back on his word and lose faith, he simply gave the rewards for the competition readily.
It is also because of this that the great demons still don't know that Xu Chengxian has not transformed.
So for the time being, no one is discussing the Flood Dragon Demon Marquis recruiting a son-in-law, but instead recruiting an un-transformed Flower Snake.
But the news will spread soon.
What's more, Luyang Mountain can also inquire about it.
“Fortunately, the Flood Dragon Demon Marquis has already made a decision.” Ling Xiao said, “In my opinion, he shouldn't suddenly change his mind because of these things.”
“That's good.” Xu Chengxian smiled and said, “Anyway, I've got what I wanted, now it's up to Yunzi.”
On this trip to pick up Madam Bai Xiaocui outside the city, Ling Yunzi didn't come.
He stayed in the Demon Marquis's mansion, studying the two new pill formulas.
“That's why I say, looking good is advantageous.”
“The Demon Marquis is so unhappy, but he is still willing to give him two more pill formulas.”
“What's so strange about this?” Ling Xiao said disapprovingly.
Whether in the human race or the demon race, a good appearance is a manifestation of strength.
In the human race, to look good, there must be ancestors with good looks in the bloodline inheritance.
Only those with money and power can marry and have children, and have room for choice.
Isn't that so?
Furthermore, if you eat poorly and have to work, no matter how well you are born, you will inevitably have worn and protruding teeth, withered and yellow hair, and a hunched posture after a few years.
How good can you look?
Therefore, to maintain a good appearance and physique, you must either have a family to rely on, or have some real skills.
In the demon race, anyone who has a bit of a human appearance after transformation can get a lot of care, which is the same principle.
It's even more direct.
This perfect transformation means talent for cultivation and a future prospect.
“Tsk.” Xu Chengxian suddenly didn't want to continue this topic.
… …
After winning the championship, the flood dragon essence blood obtained.
The first one to use it for cultivation was Bai Xiaocui.
Allowing her to visualize the flood dragon aura within.
So that she can step into the Great Demon realm as soon as possible.
Visualizing the flood dragon essence blood consumes very little of it, and does not affect its subsequent use.
After bringing Bai Xiaocui into the royal city in the Marquis's mansion's carriage, their family moved into the Flood Dragon Marquis's mansion.
At this time, it was in one of the cross-courtyards of the Marquis's mansion.
However, Dai Dai was unwilling to come, so it, Dasheng, and the little demons were still outside the city.
“The lifespan of demon beasts is too short.” Ling Yunzi said.
The peak state of a great demon can only be maintained for two hundred years at most.
If you advance within two hundred years, you can have another five hundred years to squander at will.
“Didn't you say that the lifespan of a great demon is only two hundred years?” Xu Chengxian asked.
“For cultivators, after the peak period, the physical body will decay, the soul will dissipate, and the demon power will decline. It is just lingering on.”
What is the point of those days being included in the lifespan?
“… … Tsk, they are all quite strong-willed.” Xu Chengxian said with emotion.
Actually, thinking about it, this is not impossible to understand.
On the contrary, it is quite easy to empathize with.
In the previous life, ordinary people who have a little power or a little skill have to adjust their mentality when they retire.
To accept aging frankly, to adapt from calling the wind and summoning the rain to peeing and wetting your shoes, feels a bit desperate.
Having mastered powerful power, and then losing it.
The gap between them is even greater.
Of course, the two hundred years and five hundred years mentioned here are all approximations.
The state of each great demon will be different. The decline comes sooner or later.
Just like ordinary people, there are individual differences from adulthood to old age.
Some people are energetic and can still walk as if on flat ground and take care of themselves at the age of eighty or ninety.
But some people suffer from back pain and constant minor illnesses at the age of twenty or thirty, and only seek to survive every day.
Xu Chengxian couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
In his current state, he is unlikely to get sick. Although he is also lingering on, as long as he doesn't die, he will become stronger and stronger.
It's great to have a system plug-in!
“That is to say, after becoming a great demon, it would be lucky to cultivate to a demon general within two hundred years?” he asked.
“That's right.”
“Then how long will it take to cultivate from a demon general to a demon commander, a demon marquis?”
“A demon commander has a lifespan of eight hundred years, and a demon marquis has a lifespan of at least one thousand five hundred years.”
“What about demon kings and demon emperors?”
“Among the current four demon kings, the longest-serving Eastern Lord has been in power for eight thousand years. Even if the demon emperor cannot achieve righteous longevity, he should have at least one hundred thousand years.”
Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi did not mention demon saints.
Because when the cultivation reaches that level, it is not something they can talk about rashly.
“It is said that even if you mention a word or two, the Supreme can sense it.”
“… … Whoa!” Xu Chengxian was surprised and suspicious. This is probably even more awesome than big data monitoring.
… …
After another half a month, Ling Yunzi refined the Spirit Replenishing Pill with the flood dragon essence blood.
As before, Xu Chengxian, as the elder brother, must be the first to taste it.
After such a taste, two months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, he obtained the opportunity that the Demoness Moxuan said when she agreed to help.
“What opportunity!” Xu Chengxian shouted, “Isn't this just diverting trouble to the north?”
