Vol.2 – Chapter 88 – Wood demon mountain fire


Chu Liang left in a rather disheveled state. Xu Ziyang was no child, and naturally, he wouldn’t believe the excuse of “he has a friend”. He looked at Chu Liang with a strange gaze, as if saying: The friend you’re talking about is clearly you!

Under her gaze, Chu Liang couldn’t explain much and could only leave as if he was escaping. Sigh! After returning to Silver Sword Peak, he calmed his emotions slightly and opened the book “Yin Yang Fusion Creation Technique”.

Unbeknownst to him, this cultivation method was quite ancient, even predating the establishment of Shu Mountain. It could be said to be one of the oldest dual cultivation techniques in the world.

In terms of cultivation methods, it didn’t have the various complicated paths that were derived later. It only had the simplest Yin Yang Dao, which was not complicated to operate.

The only difficulty was that all the operation routes recorded in the technique were based on the cooperation of two people.

But what Chu Liang needed to do now was to try to blend the true qi of the Golden Elixir puppet with his own. The Golden Elixir puppet could imprint a cultivation method’s circulation, and then continuously operate it.

However, you couldn’t expect it to completely mimic a real person and cooperate with you during dual cultivation.

You could only move by yourself… This was very difficult. There were indeed dual cultivation methods in the world that only required one person to operate, but only one person would benefit from that.

Such methods were usually called “Yin Harvesting and Yang Supplementing”, and only those in the demonic path would practice them. Chu Liang was arrested on the spot when he went to buy a dual cultivation method.

If he went to buy a Yin Harvesting and Yang Supplementing method, he feared that his reputation would be ruined in an instant. It was difficult. However, as he deepened his understanding of the Creation Technique, he found that this problem was not insoluble.

Because the Creation Technique did not require changing the circulation, it only required to include the other party in one’s own circulation cycle, so both parties needed to exert force together.

But the true qi of the Golden Elixir puppet was his own, and he might not be unable to drive it. After pondering for a while, Chu Liang sank his consciousness into the space of the white tower.

Two big heads sat side by side, one enveloped in misty smoke, the other shining with golden light, both working tirelessly.

Chu Liang came to the front of the Golden Elixir puppet and sat down cross-legged, his hands on its shoulders, closing his eyes and concentrating, and began to input his true qi into the puppet’s body according to the method he had just spoken.

Boom—A roar sounded from the dantian qi sea. All the meridians of the Golden Elixir puppet were copied from Chu Liang’s body, so he was naturally very familiar with them, and immediately drove the true qi to continue operating.

As expected, all the true qi in the puppet’s body was as easy to command as his own arm, moving at his command. The small circulation of a single person became the large circulation of two people, and the two types of true qi, Shaoyin and Shaoyang, merged together before they were produced, no longer consuming each other in the entire large circulation, but promoting each other’s fusion.

The two top-grade Golden Elixirs complemented each other, and the cultivation speed directly took off, with true qi cultivation pouring into his body like crazy.

Chu Liang was immersed in this kind of improvement for more than half an hour before he was interrupted by a slight noise outside.

“Hu…” He slowly withdrew his true qi, ending his first dual cultivation with the big-headed doll. It must be said that the experience was excellent.

Chu Liang opened his eyes, his gaze seemed to be a bit brighter, and his whole person exuded a refreshing aura. After a while, he stood up and pushed the window to look out, finding that there was an extra flying letter on the table.

He opened it and saw that it was from the Sword Exchange Pavilion.

“Master Shen, I’ve been busy with many things recently and haven’t visited you for a long time. Please don’t take offense.” Chu Liang came to the quiet room of the Sword Exchange Pavilion with a smile.

When he first came to the Sword Exchange Pavilion to take on tasks, he was unfamiliar with the situation. Thanks to Master Shen’s guidance, he helped him choose several good tasks.

Later, he got busy and hadn’t come over for a while. The letter he just received was sent by Master Shen.

“At your age, it’s normal to be busy striving for progress.

“Master Shen also smiled and said:

“I heard that in such a short time, you not only formed an elixir, but also a top-grade Golden Elixir? It’s really surprising.”

“Hehe, it’s just a small opportunity.” Chu Liang said.

“I just heard about it, and there happens to be a task that requires a Golden Elixir realm disciple to do.

“Master Shen said:

“I think it’s better to just let you go and test the quality of this top-grade Golden Elixir. If you do well, I will recommend you to the elders in the future.”

“I will definitely live up to Master Shen’s trust.

“Chu Liang smiled. This kind of thing was quite common. If a disciple who is favored by the high-level sect just breaks through, they will usually arrange a task for him to experience, and by the way, check the quality. If he does well, then in the future, if the Sword Exchange Pavilion has any important tasks, they will consider this person first. When it comes to the level of core disciples, many no longer need to come to the Sword Exchange Pavilion to choose tasks themselves. Instead, if the sect has any important matters, they will directly summon a few suitable people to complete the task. Like Jiang Yuebai, Xu Ziyang, and other Golden Elixir realm disciples, they are all like this. Master Shen’s arrangement of tasks this time seems to be planning to take care of Chu Liang more in the future, and he naturally won’t refuse.

“Here.” Master Shen handed over a task sign, which read “Help Requested from Wood Demon Mountain”.

“Although Wood Demon Mountain is a demon race, they have been peaceful for generations and have a good relationship with our Shu Mountain Sect.” Master Shen said:

“This time they asked for help, they want someone to go over and help, it should be quite urgent. If you have nothing to do, you can set off immediately.”

“Okay!” Chu Liang stood up and set off immediately. Actually, according to his own wishes, he didn’t want to leave Shu Mountain during this period.

Because the masked assassin who suddenly appeared in the Fairy Lake last time left him with a significant psychological shadow.

He had no idea where the other party came from, nor why the other party attacked him. It should still be safe on Shu Mountain, but if the other party was targeting him, once he left the mountain, there was no guarantee that the same thing wouldn’t happen again.

But there are only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against a thief. Now that he has encountered a problem, he can’t always avoid it.He could only prepare more. After picking up Jinmao from Silver Sword Peak, he set off for Wood Demon Mountain.

The Wood Demon clan, although part of the demon race, has always been peace-loving and long-lived, maintaining good relations with humans since the ancient demon god era.

They later settled in Wood Demon Mountain, never associating with other demon forces, but instead growing quite close to the nearby Shu Mountain Sect.

Chu Liang moved swiftly, and soon arrived at his destination. Wood Demon Mountain was vast, with high peaks and deep valleys, filled with ancient pines. From a bird’s eye view, it was a deep green.

But at first glance, beyond the green mountains, he saw a shocking sight of thick smoke and fire.

In the depths of Wood Demon Mountain’s valley, a raging wildfire was spreading! Was this the reason the Wood Demon clan had asked for help?

Seeing this, Chu Liang quickly descended, a golden wind landing him at the mouth of the valley. Apart from trees, there were no figures in sight.

What was going on? Where was the legendary Wood Demon clan? Chu Liang was not familiar with the Wood Demon clan, and there were no buildings in the mountain, so he didn’t know where to find them.

As he was pondering how to handle the situation, he heard an old voice ask:

“Is the young hero from the Shu Mountain Sect here?” Chu Liang was startled, and as the demon aura around him rose, figures began to appear.

The towering ancient trees around him suddenly began to shimmer, transforming into green human figures!

One, two… over two hundred green figures appeared! So that’s how it was, the Wood Demon clan lived in the mountain in this form, which seemed quite normal upon reflection.

The one in the lead was an elder with a long beard, who seemed to have a high level of cultivation.

“I am Chu Liang, a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect.” In response to the inquiry, Chu Liang introduced himself first.

“Hero Chu, thank you for coming.

“I am an elder of the Wood Demon clan, you can call me Qinghuai.”

“Elder Qinghuai.”

Chu Liang bowed and asked:

“What exactly has the Wood Demon clan encountered? What’s the deal with this wildfire?”

“Ah…” Elder Qinghuai sighed and said:

“One day, a fire meteor came from the west and suddenly landed on our Wood Demon Mountain, igniting this raging wildfire. We don’t know what happened. We tried to extinguish the fire with spells, but no matter what, we couldn’t put it out. Several of our warriors went in to investigate, but none of them came back…”

“Oh?” Chu Liang frowned upon hearing this.

“We do have strong individuals in our clan, but this wildfire greatly suppresses our Wood Demon people. Even if one has full cultivation, they might not be able to exert even thirty percent of their power in the fire, which is why we asked the Shu Mountain Sect for help.

Elder Qinghuai said:

“We just need you to go in and investigate, to see what exactly is happening inside? Then we can prepare for the next step. Wood Demon Mountain is where our ancestors lived. If it is destroyed by this fire, we will have nowhere to go!”

“Elder, don’t worry.

Chu Liang said:

“I’ll go in and take a look right now.
