Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

Dragon blood trees are not only difficult to cultivate, but also grow slowly.

It's unknown how many years one must wait for them to flower and bear fruit.

However, for Dai Dai, this isn't a problem.

The monkey on its back is quite good at planting spirit herbs; it can sense the vitality of the herbs, so it might actually be able to keep the dragon blood tree alive.

Anyway, hurrying on only requires a thought, riding the water's current, so it doesn't have to exert itself to paddle.

Why not agree?

"Hehe, getting there quickly doesn't mean how quickly~" Dai Dai blinked its eyes, its limbs and head retracted into its shell.

Chasing the wind and moon is fast, going downstream is fast, riding the waves is also fast.

It's just that the degree of fastness is different.

Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi were unaware of this.

They knew that the Zijin Wind-Chasing Turtle was extremely fast when traveling through water, but they didn't know exactly how fast.

When she was the Daoist Empress, she never had the chance to ride on the back of a Zijin Wind-Chasing Turtle.

Unexpectedly, after becoming an ordinary young snake, she gained this rare experience.

Hearing Dai Dai's inner thoughts, Xu Chengxian, who inadvertently learned the truth, peeked at both sides and the rapidly receding scenery, feeling that this speed was acceptable.

Steady and stable, it doesn't affect sleeping.

Too fast wouldn't be good; speeding can easily lead to accidents.

So, he didn't say anything.

He closed his eyes and continued sleeping.

Although Dai Dai imposed a speed limit on itself, the traveling speed was still very fast.

Two days later, they arrived at the nearest spirit vein cave.

Upon reaching the shore, they encountered a small demon poking its head out curiously.

Upon asking, they learned that this was Luyang Mountain Spirit Mansion.

"So you know, esteemed guests, this is the Thousand Mile Ascending Dragon Ridge, and the head of the mountain range is Wangyun Mountain, which is where Marshal Fuli's headquarters is located."

The eloquent little demon introduced Xu Chengxian and the others, "This Luyang Mountain spirit vein cave is under the command of General Yu."

The cat-faced little demon, whose transformation was incomplete, had fur all over its human-like body, and was thin and short, with cat paws and a tail behind it.

Its eyes were bright, and its intelligence was not low.

After speaking, it bowed to them, asking if they wanted to hire it to gather information.

"The reward only requires a piece of low-grade demon beast meat."

Xu Chengxian found it interesting, and Ling Xiao asked it, "Do you know if there has been a gathering to exchange things here in the past few days?"

"Yes!" The wildcat spirit cupped its hands towards Ling Xiao, "General Yu had people organize a Multibao Sutra Lecture in the east these past two days. Many enlightened demon beasts went to listen, and they can trade treasures there."

"Good, come tomorrow and take us there," Ling Xiao said, "The beast meat will be given to you together."

"Yes, sir!"

"What is your name?"

"Cat Nineteen."

"Why ask so many questions?" Xu Chengxian asked after Cat Nineteen left.

This wildcat spirit seems very clever; it speaks human language almost like a human.

It would be good to chat a little more and inquire about more information. Why was it dismissed after only a few words?

"A group of enlightened demon beasts gathering to compete, what information is worth inquiring about?" Ling Xiao said nonchalantly, "Once we see it tomorrow, we'll know everything we need to know at a glance."

"Besides, what can a little demon who only charges a piece of low-grade demon beast meat for a reward know?"

Charging demon beast meat as a reward shows that hunting low-grade demon beasts is not an easy task for it.

Its combat power is conceivable.

And combat power almost determines everything among demon beasts.

Even if it has gained intelligence, it is still the same.

Asking it is indeed not as good as seeing for oneself.

As for being fluent in speech, there's nothing to be surprised about. As long as the people around you speak human language often, it won't take long to learn.

Ms. She Xiaocui has heard them speak a lot during this time, and now she speaks human language quite well.

"Your Majesty, how did these little demons come about?" he asked curiously. "Are they demon race?"

In the power level divisions of demon beasts and the demon race, there is no such thing as little demons.

Before seeing Cat Nineteen, he didn't even know that there was such a thing as a little demon in the demon race.

"Little demons are of course part of the demon race."

Little demons are also called half-demons.

There are many kinds of origins for them.

Some demon beasts have weak bodies, but their innate intelligence develops very early. They can give birth to a demon core at the second or third rank, but once they condense a demon pill, they will transform.

However, because their strength is insufficient, their transformation is incomplete, and they can only become half-human, half-demon.

Such little demons are not strong in combat power before or after transformation. They hardly exist outside the spirit mansion, because they simply won't survive long enough to transform before being eaten.

"There is also a type that is a ninth-rank demon beast that failed to transform, but didn't die, or was transformed after being interfered with by other forces."

The former is easy to understand.

When a ninth-rank demon beast transforms, success means becoming a great demon, failure means that ninety-nine percent will die in the lightning tribulation. But there is also a chance to survive as a half-demon.

The latter is more complicated.

There are many interfering forces, such as accidentally eating natural treasures or spirit pills, or being enlightened into a demon by a strong person.

Or, forced by other pressures, they have to start transforming early.

"The last type is those who are born as half-demons."

Both demon beasts and the demon race can give birth to half-demons.

The children born from humans and the demon race may also be half-demons.

Half of the children born to half-demons may also be half-demons.

"In fact, little demons are the most numerous existence in the demon race," Ling Xiao said, "The royal city of the demon race has hundreds of thousands of little demons."

There are also many little demons in the various marquis mansions, marshal mansions, and spirit vein caves.

Little demons also have high and low combat power, and they obey orders, making them easier to manage.

More importantly, if little demons continue to cultivate, they may not be able to advance to become great demons.

"Although the hope is slim, and secondary transformation is also full of dangers. But in cultivation and advancement, which one isn't dangerous?"

Demon beast transformation is a narrow escape from death.

If a great demon fails to advance to become a demon general and exhausts its lifespan, it will also die before your eyes.

Above this, it will only be more difficult.

"So, now you know how amazing it was that I could sit on the throne of the Empress, and that Little White Brother cultivated to become a Daoist Lord, right?"

"...Am I worse than you guys?" Xu Chengxian immediately decided to enrich his personal persona, "Back then, millions of people fought to cross the river, and I crossed it with a reed, successfully landing on the other side!"

He was talking about the college entrance examination.

"When I was young, I went through several ten-thousand-level selections, passing through every stage, never timid!"

Junior high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, junior college to university...

Only saying never timid, not saying how the grades were, whether it was successful or not, this is the art of language.

"The sect where I am located, even ordinary people can travel thousands of miles a day, and the magic weapon in their hands can observe the affairs of the world," Xu Chengxian said, holding his head high.

People can't always think about how much they fail, they have to think about how powerful the group is, so that they can also appear more awesome!

"...A magic weapon that can observe the affairs of the world?" Ling Yunzi, who was meditating, couldn't help but open his eyes and look over, "Spirit Moon Treasure Mirror? Sky-Observing Compass? It can't be the Haotian Mirror of the Heavenly Realm, right? No, a magic weapon in the palm of your hand, could it be the Heavenly Eye Technique?"

"Ha! This, this of course isn't." Xu Chengxian laughed and said, "It's a magic weapon refined by a lineage within the sect. I don't know how to refine it."

He also plugged the loopholes by the way.

"I see." Ling Yunzi nodded, "Traveling a thousand miles a day is simple, learning escape techniques, or flying techniques, such as earth escape or sword control. But this requires the Foundation Establishment stage to be able to practice. That everyone in your sect can do this is truly amazing."

"...Uh, haha, actually it's possible to rent large-scale flying artifacts."

"Willing to rent flying artifacts to ordinary people, your sect must be very powerful." Ling Xiao sighed and said, "Only the powerful and wealthy in my Holy Dynasty can enjoy such treatment."

"...Hehe." Xu Chengxian thought, this topic can't be continued.

Although he really wanted to see if he could encourage the Empress sister to overthrow the imperial system.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Cat Nineteen came.

It cupped its hands first and then spoke, saying: "Esteemed guests, if you want to listen to the scriptures, or want to set up a stall, you need to go early to reserve a spot."

"Don't worry, we'll go over when there are more people."

"Give you this fish first, eat your fill and wait on the side."

Ling Xiao emerged from the water, threw a half-meter-long fish to it, and said. "Wait for us to eat, then we'll go."

"Yes, sir!" Cat Nineteen took a bite and grabbed the big fish, overjoyed, rolling several times on the ground.

Xu Chengxian's tail was itching to move.

Half an hour later, they were full and headed to the Multibao Sutra Lecture.
