Immortality System: Cultivating with Girls

The group walked towards the city at an easy pace.

"What is that black bead?" Wen Zhixing, however, had an unusual look in his eyes; he stood at the very back of the team.

Unlike the others, his gaze seemed to scan the surroundings but was in fact taking every opportunity to watch Hua Yourong. In what appeared to be a casual glance, he caught sight of the black bead.

As I thought, she's up to no good. Wen Zhixing turned his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Although I don't know what that black bead is for, her expression says it all. This demoness is plotting something wicked.

His mind immediately became extra vigilant. He would crush the jade talisman given by Elder Wu at a moment's notice.

"This junior brother, you seem somewhat unfamiliar; did you just join the sect?" Just then, noticing Wen Zhixing seemed to be somewhat distracted, someone chuckled lightly and spoke up.

Wen Zhixing focused and looked at the person. The man wore the robe of an outer sect disciple of the Righteous Sun Sect, and his bald head would've been blindingly shiny if not for the dim light here.

A scar ran across his left cheek, meandering upwards from his earlobe. His eyes were as large as copper bells, and his appearance was fierce, looking like a natural-born bully at a glance.

"My name is Wang Shouzhen, I just joined the sect recently," Wen Zhixing gave a salute, seeing for the first time someone who looked so much like a villain.

"I'm Li Mingde." The scarred man smiled slightly, introducing himself.

While it was obviously a friendly greeting, that smile was ferocious and terrifying.

The others turned their heads to glance at the two but said nothing.

Wen Zhixing was also taken aback, thinking, Perhaps you shouldn't smile; it's kind of frightening me.

"Junior Brother Wang, there's no need to panic." Li Mingde thought Wen Zhixing was a bit nervous and reassured him, "We have completed this mission many times; there won't be any problems. If you're scared, just hide behind me."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Wen Zhixing was slightly startled, then nodded.

The cultivation of these outer sect disciples isn't high. They all seem to be around the third or fourth level of the Qi Movement Realm. They don't carry any decent Spiritual Instruments, mostly wielding mortal soldiers. Still, this level of strength is already quite formidable among outer sect disciples; otherwise, they wouldn't dare come here to hunt devil beasts.

KEKEKE! Suddenly, a strange laugh echoed from ahead once more.

Unlike before, the devil beast that appeared this time was not like the previous devil spirits but was a humanoid devil beast. It had a pair of blood-red eyes that flickered with a cold and eerie light. Its body was devoid of flesh and blood, consisting only of bone, yet it gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Are there other types of devil beasts? Wen Zhixing was somewhat surprised.

"Iron Demon clan!" Li Mingde, at his side, showed a look of delight and said fiercely, "Fellow Junior Brothers, be careful! This iron demon's entire body is a treasure, kill it!"

Before Li Mingde finished speaking, the iron demon had already lunged toward them.

"I'll do it!" With a loud shout, a muscular disciple of the Righteous Sun Sect sprang into action first, a large sabre sweeping out from behind him.

WHOOSH!

An airstream carrying the faint sound of a tiger's roar rapidly approached.

CLANG!

The sabre struck the iron demon's head but was blocked by its tough skull.

The muscular man felt a powerful force transmitted to him, and the sabre was directly shattered. The broken blade skimmed past his cheek, leaving a bloody mark, and blood immediately flowed out.

"How is this possible!" The muscular man was shocked, his body retreating explosively.

However, the iron demon was faster and in almost an instant was upon the muscular man. Its deadly claws aimed straight for his throat. The muscular man's face changed drastically; it was already too late to dodge.

"Take action!" Just then, someone shouted lowly, releasing Spiritual Qi and casting a spell.

"Thunder Summoning Talisman!"

BOOM!

A thunderbolt descended, crackling with golden arcs.

The iron demon couldn't dodge in time and was instantly struck, sent flying backward. Its body trembled slightly, emitting scorching heat waves, as it let out a painful roar.

The disciple who was previously in danger had been pulled to safety by someone, thus escaping the perilous situation.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for the rescue." At this moment, the muscular man's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he gratefully addressed Li Mingde.

"Iron demons cannot be pierced by blade or spear; continue using talismans!" Li Mingde nodded and then shouted loudly.

None of them had stepped into the Mysterious Might Realm, so they could only utilize talismans to cast spells.

The group exchanged glances. Several talismans fluttered in the wind and once again summoned thunderbolts, striking the iron demon.

BOOM!

The iron demon issued a series of agonized roars. In no time, it was blasted into oblivion, both body and divine soul completely destroyed.

"We did it!" The crowd rejoiced; this iron demon was one of the more troublesome devil beasts in the Devil Sealing Cave. But the reward was substantial.

If this corpse was brought back, at least several Spiritual Instruments could be refined. If they could kill a few more, each person could end up with their own Spiritual Instrument.

The crowd was immediately excited, but Wen Zhixing showed little interest. His gaze turned to Hua Yourong.

He saw that the moment the group finished off the iron demon, she reached out her hand again. In the air, threads of black Devil Qi converged into her palm, eventually forming a small black bead. On the black bead, a ferocious image flashed by, then was absorbed in an instant.

What exactly is this? Wen Zhixing's heart tightened. Anything that Si Nanyan personally collects mustn't be simple.

"Junior Brother, this is for you." Just then, Li Mingde passed a severed arm to Wen Zhixing, which had been disassembled from the iron demon.

"Senior Brother, I didn't take action; I don't deserve a reward for no effort." Wen Zhixing shook his head in refusal.

"Take it, it's a team mission. You didn't make a move, so you'll get less," Li Mingde said with a smile.

Wen Zhixing looked at the others, and seeing no objections, silently accepted it. The people from the Righteous Sun Sect, it seems, are quite simple and honest.

Straight away, a thought struck him, and he leaned closer to Li Mingde, asking in a low voice, "Senior Brother Li, do you know of any other uses for these devil beasts besides crafting them into Spiritual Instruments?"

"Other uses?" Li Mingde was startled, thought for a bit, and then said, "Of course, there are. For example, consuming a devil spirit can enhance one's spiritual sense's power. However, the Devil Qi in them is too intense, and they also contain the remnant souls of these beasts, making it impossible for us to absorb them."

"Devil Qi, remnant souls?" Wen Zhixing's eyes flashed and he continued, "Is there a way to refine them?"

"That I do not know." Li Mingde shook his head.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Wen Zhixing's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not ask any further.

When he turned his head to look again, Hua Yourong was nowhere to be seen.

Huh? Wen Zhixing was startled. Where did she go?

The others, not noticing this detail, continued forward. Wen Zhixing frowned and followed. Soon, several more devil beasts appeared. With the cooperation of the group, they were all smoothly dealt with.

During this time, Wen Zhixing also made a few moves. Although the others had suffered some injuries, they were still delighted. Only Wen Zhixing, completely unharmed, had a deep frown on his face.

Hua Yourong had not returned.

What had she done?

「At this time, inside the ancient city.」

Hua Yourong's figure slowly emerged. This place was filled with Prohibitions, yet she moved as if they were nothing. Ahead was an enormous cage. Several figures were bound by massive chains, unable to move. Even so, their powerful auras still rushed forth. Hua Yourong smiled faintly. This is an unexpected surprise.
