Chapter 109: Achieving the Great Dao

This title naturally made Ginger Cloud think of a demon cultivator, and that was also the thing he planned to ask Old Black about this time. After all, Old Black himself was a demon.

"Well, this Luo family doesn't actually have much power, but it is said to be from a line of demon cultivators. Plus, every successive head of the family has been good at managing things, so they actually have pretty decent relationships with quite a few clans and sects..."

Speaking of this, Lao Hei suddenly stopped talking and shook his head: “However, the Luo family you're going to probably isn't this one, because the Lian Yao Luo family has a rather bad relationship with your asking Dao Zong.”

As for which Luo family he was going to, Jiang Yun didn't really care. What he cared about was the matter of the monster cultivators, so he asked: "Big Brother Heihou, what is a monster cultivator, and what is a celestial demon"

As soon as Jiang Yun's question left his mouth, Lao Hei's pupils couldn't help but constrict slightly. He looked up at Jiang Yun and said, "Let me ask you first, the day before yesterday, when I was in Daozong, I felt the aura of a celestial demon. What's going on"

"This…"

Although Gingercloud trusted Laobai very much, he was also aware of the hostile relationship between demon cultivators and demons. Since the Demon-Taming Brush belonged to Lu Xiaoyu, he was worried that if he told the truth, Laobai would harm Lu Xiaoyu. Therefore, he could only vaguely say: "It's nothing, just when I was exploring Baishou Peak, a trace of celestial demon aura erupted from the Illusory Beast Diagram."

After he finished speaking, Ginger Cloud’s face flushed red. Although his words weren't entirely false, for someone who had never lied before, it was extremely embarrassing.

Looking at Ginger Cloud's expression, Old Black could tell that he wasn't being truthful. However, he didn't press him further, instead feigning understanding and saying, "So that's how it is. The Illusory Beast Diagram actually contains a Heavenly Demon!"

"Demons encompass all things; their races far exceed that of humans. There are beast demons, plant demons, and even demonic manifestations in mountains, rivers, and beyond."

"As for the cultivation realms of demons, they are exactly the same as those of human cultivators, with stages like Meridian Opening, Blessed Land, and Heavenly Aperture. However, in order to better differentiate the power levels of demons, a different title is given to demons who reach a certain realm."

"A celestial demon, refers to a demon that can occupy one side of the sky, or even an entire world!"

Originally, Lao He was going to explain in more detail. However, considering that Jiang Yun's current cultivation level is too low, knowing some things too early wouldn't benefit him, so he only gave a brief explanation in the end.

However, this was enough to shock Ginger Cloud!

He never would have imagined that Bai Ze, imprisoned within the Spirit-Taming Brush, was actually the strongest being in a world of its own. No wonder even a single breath of demonic energy could instill fear in spiritual beasts comparable to those dwelling in heavenly realms.

Although Bai Ze said that the heaven he was from wasn't the same as the Heaven of Shan Hai, no matter what, a powerful being who could dominate one world, their strength was something Jiang Yun couldn't even fathom right now.

But even such a powerful being was imprisoned by the Alchemist in the Pen of Refining Demons. This naturally made Jiang Yun even more curious about what kind of existence an Alchemist truly was.

"Old Black Brother, what is that Alchemist"

“Alchemist!” At the mention of these three words, Lao Hei’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and his gaunt face wore a few expressions that Jiang Yun couldn’t understand.

After a long silence, Lao Hei finally spoke, continuing, "Demon cultivators, though they may seem like just humans opposed to demons, that's not the whole story."

Generally, cultivators can only kill demons or subdue them with force. However, demon cultivators can subdue, command, seal, and even fuse with demons through various special means! Even, refining demons into pills!

Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback and said, "Refining demons into pills"

"Well, you are an alchemist, you refine pills; and demon cultivators also refine pills, only that, the materials you use to refine pills encompass everything, while demon cultivators use only demonic creatures as materials."

"Can you imagine refining a whole monster into a single pill"

Ginger couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Though he used beast parts when refining pills, he had never heard of refining a whole beast into a pill. He couldn't even imagine it.

"What use is this pill that was refined from demonic essence"

“It's incredibly useful! A demonic pill, to put it simply, is a medicinal pill forged from the essence of a demon. Within this demonic pill lies the demon’s talent, cultivation level, spells learned, and even the path it pursued!”

Therefore, whether it's a human or a demon, if they encounter a demon pill, they will definitely do anything to get it!

Besides refining demons into pills, demon cultivators can also help demons quickly increase their power and achieve great enlightenment.

"A demon tamer fuses two demons together using a special method, allowing one demon to gain the full power and even innate abilities of the other!"

Even the lowest-level demon, as long as the demonic cultivator's ability is sufficient, he can make this demon constantly evolve in his hands!

Therefore, demons feel a mixture of hatred and fear towards demon cultivators, yet they also harbor a strong desire. To be recognized and taken in by a powerful demon cultivator would be the fastest path to achieving greatness.

Before, Jiang Yun had a basic understanding of the power of alchemists through a simple demon subduing seal. Now, under Lao He's explanation, he gained a more detailed understanding and was astonished to find that alchemists were such magical and powerful beings.

At this time, Lao Hei glanced at Jiang Yun meaningfully and said: "However, becoming a demon cultivator is not easy. After all, it requires absorbing demonic energy. For humans to absorb demonic energy is extremely dangerous. As long as there is a slight mistake, there is a high probability that they will be assimilated by demonic energy and become something neither human nor demon."

Throughout history, countless people have been tempted by the status of a demon cultivator and embarked on this path, but very few have ultimately succeeded in becoming one.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but hear the underlying meaning. This was Lao Hei's kind reminder, but after understanding the power of a demon cultivator, he felt an even stronger desire to become one himself.

Because, Ginger Village, is full of demons!

If I could become a demon cultivator, then there would be a possibility to help my grandfather and them achieve great enlightenment!

Perhaps seeing the longing in Ginger Cloud's heart, or perhaps touched by some past events of his own, Lao Hei suddenly seemed a bit disinterested. He said to Ginger Cloud, "Ginger, you do need to go out and train hard. As for alchemy, I'll say it again, I'm not in a hurry."

"You're all alone out there, so be careful with everything. After all, human hearts and demonic hearts are both too treacherous! I don't have much to give you, but here's a token I used back in the day. If you encounter any demons, take it out; it should still be somewhat useful!"

Under Lao Hei's persistence, Jiang Yun had no choice but to accept the token he handed over, made of animal bone and engraved with a single character "Hei".

At the same time, a look of surprise flashed across Gu Bulao's face on Mount Cangfeng. He muttered to himself, "What is his relationship with Lao Hei How could Lao Hei be willing to give him the Black Demon Order!"
