Chapter 47: The Second Demon Thought

For the fisherman, it was impossible to be an air force. There were many ways to gather wild vegetables, drink some soup, and go to the vegetable market.

Lin Yu, a cultivator, was even more so. He still had a surefire move that he hadn't used yet. He could change the bait and hang a Spirit Opening Pill.

Because the technical difficulty was too low, and his junior brother was by his side, he couldn't bring himself to change it.

Lu Bei carried the fish back to the mountain gate, and Hu Qing leaned out of the window and ran to his side, chattering and asking about the reason for his overnight absence.

Lin Yu saw this scene and nodded secretly. They had a good relationship. Little Hu Li trusted Lu Bei a lot, and it seemed that he had overthought about raising a demonic pet for fun.

However, having a good relationship was one thing, and Hu Li's transformation into a spirit was another. Lin Yu felt that he should remind his junior brother that diligence was the key to success in cultivation, and indulging in beauty could lead to neglecting one's practice.

Feeling depressed about not being able to go fishing and encountering even more depression due to the explosion next door, Lin Yu, who was satisfied with Lu Bei's catch, temporarily put aside his thoughts of fishing. He remembered that he had a task at hand and greeted Lu Bei before heading towards the other peaks of Nine Bamboo Mountain.

Among the peaks of Nine Bamboo Mountain, except for Yang Fuli, the master of Azure Light Observatory on Two Virtues Peak, and Zhao Shiran, the head of Dispersing Incense Faction on Seven Coils Peak, who had not directly met Lu Bei, the other sect leaders had more or less contact with him.

The evaluations were almost unanimous: having such a neighbor would bring trouble in the future.

But they could only think this in their hearts. They definitely couldn't say it out loud. The Zhu Family Commercial Bank had pushed out the Four Channels Trading Company, and they had all benefited from it.

So not only could they not speak ill of Lu Bei, they also had to say thank you.

Upon learning of Lin Yu's purpose for coming, the sect leaders' eyes lit up. They didn't hesitate to praise him, seizing the opportunity to shower Lu Bei with compliments, exaggerating to the point of absurdity. They wished that Lin Yu would take him away immediately, as every day he stayed in the cultivation world would be a great loss.

Ding Lei was the most enthusiastic, using cheesy and exaggerated language, blowing it up with great effort. Lin Yu's face turned red from his flattery.

Ding Lei didn't want it to be like this either. Upon learning that it was Lu Bei, his senior brother who was far away in Mountain State, he had a moment where he just wanted to hug his thighs and cry.

"You finally came!"

He held back. As the sect leader, he had to consider the overall situation and take a long-term perspective.

Ding Lei knew how cruel reality could be. He praised Lu Bei with a guilty conscience, knowing that there was a possibility of Lu Bei being taken away, and there was still hope for the Lofty Brow Faction. He complained and criticized Lu Bei's misdeeds, which would further worsen the already not-so-wealthy Lofty Brow Faction.

Lin Yu collected the evaluations of the sect leaders from several peaks and obtained a description of his junior brother as a handsome and elegant person with extraordinary eloquence, who respected his teachers, was charitable, brave, and exceptional... and so on. He had to delete and modify some of the descriptions, leaving only the evaluation of being kind-hearted and diligent in learning.

Not deleting is not an option, it's too fake.

Report truthfully, don't mention his sect leader father, even the head of the Law Enforcement Court, his own mother, wouldn't believe it. To be safe, it's better to be more subtle.

Lin Yugaogao came and went, visiting the Eight Peaks in one day, gathering the evaluations of the sect leaders, and determining Lu Bei's assessment as excellent.

Remove the highest one hundred points, then remove the lowest one hundred points, and take the average to get one hundred points.

Perhaps it was the frustrating experience with the Air Force in the back mountains, or perhaps he was eager to develop a new fishing spot. Lin Yuga, who originally planned to stay for three to five days, left Three Pristine Peak overnight after setting up the formation.

Originally, he didn't even plan to eat, but when he heard about the full fish feast tonight, the silver-striped back in the deep pool of the back mountain, he stayed a little longer in anger and ate half a table of fish.

After Lin Yuga left, Lu Bei studied the new Ascension Gate mountain guarding formation. The eldest senior brother was efficient in his work and was willing to spend money. The range of the formation extended to the deep pool in the back mountain, protecting the underground palace as well.

Lu Bei kept one of the jade discs that controlled the formation for himself and gave one to Hu Qing, telling him to be more cautious. If a bad person with the appearance of a scholar comes to the door, there is no need for nonsense, just activate the formation and blast them to pieces.

With the completion of the formation, Lu Bei resolved a worry and locked himself in his room that night.

One must have aspirations in life. Just because he can dominate the Newbie Zone Nine Bamboo Mountain and beat up Du Jinglan and talk back to Pang Miaosong, he shouldn't be complacent. Lin Yuga and Bai Jin are his peers and his targets to catch up to.

Having a goal gives motivation. That's enough talk, let's start cultivating.

Lu Bei lay in bed, opened his personal panel and glanced at it, pondered for a moment, and then began to work on gaining experience, summarizing the small leveling techniques from before, and first took a bottle of experience pill.

The Third Transformation Nurturing Pill cannot be taken continuously. For NPCs, it is too powerful and can lead to a lack of replenishment. For players, it has a cooldown period.

In the porcelain bottle left by Mo Buxio, there are twenty Third Transformation Nurturing Pills, which can be converted into exactly one million experience points.

After Lu Bei finished taking them, the sky outside gradually brightened. He looked at his main profession experience, filled in the twenty thousand gap, and leveled up to level 26.

When the main profession level exceeds twenty, the Free Attribute Points and Skill Points rewarded for each level up are multiplied by 2. For levels above thirty, it's multiplied by 3, and so on. As a result, he gained 10 free attribute points and 500 Skill Points.

With 840,000 experience points remaining, Lu Bei first added them to the 'Demon-Slaying Sutra' and tried to cultivate this technique to perfection. The subsequent techniques include the 'Great Wasteland's Secret Record of Monster Evolution'. If he diligently cultivates it, he won't be able to enjoy the corresponding level of benefits.

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and achieve some accomplishments. Strength +8, Speed +8, Spirit +8]

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and achieve some accomplishments. Strength +7, Speed +9, Spirit +9]

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and gain tremendous benefits: total level experience +200,000, cultivation +1,200, and health +1,000.]

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and break through the realm of the technique, eliminating a demonic thought. Your total level increases by 5.]

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and break through the realm of the technique, honing your Demon Slaying Will. All basic attributes will now increase threefold.]

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and achieve some accomplishments, strength...]

[You...]

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and gain tremendous benefits: total...]

[You comprehend the Demon-Slaying Sutra and continuously break through realms, gaining the skill [Blood Nest]. Mental power +10, endurance +8, charm +2, free attribute points +6, skill points +500.]

Spending 600,000 experience points, the Demon-Slaying Sutra levels up four times, reaching level 10. Lu Bei barely has time to be amazed by the exaggerated amount of experience this technique consumes before his attention is drawn to the threefold increase in basic attributes.

"Gudong!"

He forcefully swallows his saliva and slaps his bed board.

"It's not a dream. I really can eliminate the second demonic thought."

After the great surprise, Lu Bei thinks about Lin Yu and Bai Jin. He quickly snaps out of his daydream of punching the Extreme Monarch Sect and doesn't rush to allocate attribute points. After pondering for a moment, he continues to invest experience points into the "Meditative Breathing Technique" and the "Qi Nourishing Longevity Extending Technique."

Originally, he planned to invest all the remaining experience points into the "General Outline of the Formation Dao" and some practical skills. But now that he sees his basic attributes can skyrocket again, he decisively chooses two beginner-level techniques.

These two techniques were obtained by Lu Bei when he touched the Dao Scripture. At that time, his strength was weak, and he had a strong aversion to the cultivation world. Therefore, he neglected these two techniques, which focused on longevity and defense. With the acquisition of the Demon-Slaying Sutra, his mindset expanded and he no longer looked down on the two beginner-level techniques. He casually practiced them and left them in a corner.

Now, it's really beneficial.

Beginner-level techniques can bring free attribute points and skill points, with minimal experience consumption. The cost-effectiveness is undeniable.

Taking advantage of the fact that his main profession level is not high, he quickly raises them to the maximum level. Otherwise, if he waits until later to level them up, not only will there be no rewards, but he will also waste experience points.

[Meditative Breathing Technique Lv9]

[Qi Nourishing Longevity Extending Technique Lv8]

As expected, the upper limits of these two techniques are not high. It only took 130,000 experience points to level them up to the maximum level, and he didn't gain any new skills.

With the remaining 100,000 experience points, Lu Bei doesn't save them. He grits his teeth and spends them all. He first allocates skill points to "Blood Rage" and "Dark Tide," leveling them up to level 4. The rest is left for the new technique "General Outline of the Formation Dao" and the new skill "Blood Nest," which brings him some additional rewards.

[Blood Nest Lv4 (10/20,000)]

[General Outline of the Formation Dao Lv5 (0/50,000)]

He doesn't allocate the free attribute points for now. One must have dreams in life, so he saves them for later. When he eliminates another demonic thought and the free attribute points increase fourfold, he will use the stored 30 free attribute points.

"Hehehe—"

"Hahaha—"

"Wonderful!"

Lu Bei rubs his hands together, his laughter particularly mischievous. Next door, Hu Qing leans out of the window, his small head filled with big doubts.

What's wrong with the Sect Master? He didn't sleep all night and is still acting strange early in the morning. Could it be that he can't bear to see Senior Brother leave?
