Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1392: Chapter 885: Demon Cultivator Cultivation Technique (2)

Que Lingfei thought for a moment and said, ”I want mid-grade Demon Essence Pills!”

”Sorry, I can’t refine mid-grade Demon Essence Pills yet,” Yang Zhenshan slightly shook his head.

It’s not that he couldn’t refine mid-grade Demon Essence Pills, but he couldn’t guarantee the pill-forming rate for mid-grade Demon Essence Pills.

When refining second-order low-grade Demon Essence Pills, he could guarantee a pill-forming rate of over 70%, but for mid-grade Demon Essence Pills, he had to rely on luck. If he was lucky, he could refine a mid-grade Demon Essence Pill using low-grade Demon Cores; if not, even using mid-grade Demon Cores would be futile.

”Alright then, give me ten Demon Essence Pills first!” Que Lingfei said.

Yang Zhenshan’s mouth slightly opened in surprise; this person really had deep pockets.

”I only have three on hand right now, including the one you have!”

In fact, he still had four Demon Essence Pills, but one of them had a Wood Attribute, which he wanted to keep for himself, so he could only sell three.

”Are they all Wind Attribute?”

”No, one is Fire Attribute, and one is Water Attribute!” Yang Zhenshan took out two more Demon Essence Pills.

The attributes of the Demon Clan are mostly fixed, with one tribe typically having one attribute and only occasionally producing one or two mutations.

For example, the Lark Clan is mostly Wind Attribute.

The Wind Attribute Demon Essence Pills are most suitable for them, but they can also consume Demon Essence Pills of other attributes.

”Alright then, give me these, and also put me down for ten more, one each year for the next ten years, is that okay?” Que Lingfei said.

Yang Zhenshan blinked; today he realized what it meant to meet a well-funded individual.

Each Demon Essence Pill requires four Demon Cores.

Yang Zhenshan wasn’t surprised that Yun Xiao could bring out nine Demon Cores, as it was probably something Yun Xiao had saved for a long time.

But Que Lingyu had brought out over fifty Demon Cores all at once; Yang Zhenshan looked at the Demon Cores scattered on the table like Spirit Stones, his mouth twitching involuntarily.

”Why does Cangyu Mountain have so many Demon Cores?” He couldn’t help but ask.

”After a demon dies, the Demon Core doesn’t immediately dissipate,” Que Lingfei explained.

Yang Zhenshan suddenly understood. If that’s the case, he could understand why Que Lingfei had so many Demon Cores.

After a demon’s death, the Demon Core doesn’t dissipate. For thousands of years, who knows how many second-order demon beasts have existed on Cangyu Mountain; if all those Demon Cores were kept, it would certainly be an astronomical number.

Besides Cangyu Mountain, the Yunxiao Mountain Range also has many demon beast clans, and these clans would also have some Demon Cores.

”In fact, in our Demon Clan, Demon Cores are like top-grade Spirit Stones and can be used as currency!” Que Lingfei added as an explanation.

”I see!”

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, taking all the Demon Cores on the table and putting them into the Pill Hall’s storage.

Then he said, ”Immortal, I would like to buy some demon cultivation techniques; is that possible?”

”Demon cultivation techniques?” Que Lingfei looked at him in surprise, ”Why do you want demon cultivation techniques?”

”To let the Mutant Beasts at home cultivate!” Yang Zhenshan said truthfully.

Que Lingfei’s expression became even more peculiar, ”To let Mutant Beasts cultivate?”

”Is there something wrong with that?” Yang Zhenshan felt uneasy under her gaze. Let’s not forget, she was a second-rank top-grade great demon, equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and her speed was far above that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Faced with her, Yang Zhenshan had to be on high alert.

”No, nothing’s wrong; it’s just unexpected that you are willing to cultivate the Demon Clan!” Que Lingfei said.

Yang Zhenshan looked at her in confusion.

Que Lingfei revealed a playful smile and said, ”The resources consumed by the Demon Clan’s cultivation are nothing less than those of the Human Race cultivators. Generally, Human Race forces are unwilling to cultivate the Demon Clan.”

Yang Zhenshan understood her meaning. Since the resources consumed by cultivating the Demon Clan are comparable to those used by Human Race cultivators, naturally, Human Race forces prefer to cultivate their own and are unwilling to spend resources on the Demon Clan.

This is probably why he couldn’t find any demon cultivation techniques. Human Race forces don’t want to cultivate demons, so of course, they don’t need demon cultivation techniques; thus, he naturally couldn’t find any demon cultivation techniques among them.

”So, can I buy demon cultivation techniques?”

Yang Zhenshan still decided to buy demon cultivation techniques. Although cultivating demons required a lot of resources, he still wanted to nurture them.

Because currently, in the Spirit Source Land, cultivating demons is easier than cultivating Immortals.

There are many second-order Mutant Beasts in the Spirit Source Land now, and these second-order Mutant Beasts could become second-order demons within ten or twenty years if they have demon cultivation techniques.

This means that the Spirit Source Land could produce over a dozen second-order demons, equivalent to Foundation Establishment cultivators, in just a few decades.

Regarding the resources consumed by demon beasts, the Spirit Source Land is actually not short of resources right now because Yang Jizhen and others have not yet fully matured, and their resource consumption is almost negligible for Yang Zhenshan.

As for Martial Artists, compared to Immortal Cultivators, Martial Artists consume relatively fewer resources.

Therefore, the Spirit Source Land currently has sufficient cultivation resources; supporting the cultivation of over a dozen second-order Mutant Beasts is not an issue.

Furthermore, power is the foundation of everything. Once the Spirit Source Land possesses over a dozen second-order Mutant Beasts, its strength and status will be incomparable to now.

”Sure, I’ll give you a demon cultivation technique!”

Que Lingfei immediately took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan looked a bit surprised, then picked up the Jade Scroll to examine it.

”Taichu Transformation Skill!”

”Re-forge the body with the laws of heaven and earth, to stabilize the Dao base with one’s true nature!”

”The Transformation Three Realms: Body Refinement, Mind Refinement, Truth Refinement!”

”When a demon first gains spiritual intelligence, it must shed its bestial body, refining a human form and a magical body.”

Yang Zhenshan felt enlightened as he read the cultivation technique; this is how demon beasts cultivate for Transformation.

The Body Refinement in the Transformation Three Realms isn’t the same as a Martial Artist’s Body Refinement; it refers to the process of refining meridians and acupoints within the body, simulating the meridians, acupoints, dantian, and Qi Sea of the Human Race.

This cultivation method is completely different from Immortal Cultivation techniques, and humans cannot cultivate this way.

”There are many kinds of demon cultivation techniques, but they all revolve around the concept of Transformation, just like Human Race’s Immortal cultivation techniques are about Foundation Establishment, Golden Core!”

”However, aside from Transformation, demons also need bloodline cultivation. Our attributes come from our bloodline, not related to the cultivation techniques!”

”Therefore, the cultivation techniques of our Demon Clan don’t have the attribute differences like your Human Race techniques!”

”As for bloodline cultivation, you don’t really need a cultivation technique for that; when your cultivation reaches a certain level, you’ll naturally understand how to cultivate the power of the bloodline!”

Que Lingfei was very amiable to Yang Zhenshan, even taking the time to explain the differences between demon and Immortal cultivation techniques.

”So, does this mean a demon cultivation technique can be used by any demon beast?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

Since there’s no attribute discrepancy, and only the Transformation aspect is involved, a single technique should suffice for any species of demon beast.

Be it birds or beasts, aquatic beings, plants, and the like, it should work for all of them.

”That’s not incorrect to say, but for Transformation, ancestral experience is more important than the cultivation technique itself.” Que Lingfei explained.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly; he figured there was a reason Que Lingfei was so generous in giving him the technique, realizing its content might not be of great importance to the demons. What matters are the Transformation experiences passed down from their ancestors.

This is normal; in many areas, experience is more valuable than the cultivation technique itself.

Just like when Martial Artists cast the Spirit Base and forge the Golden Body, the process is similar for all Martial Arts techniques. Success doesn’t depend on the technique, but on whether there’s experience from others to draw upon, higher-grade Spiritual Objects, and adequate preparation.

Similarly, it’s the same with Immortal cultivation Foundation Establishment, which is why current Immortals take Foundation Establishment Pills—a practice born of countless ancestral experiences.

”Thank you, Immortal, for your guidance!” Yang Zhenshan said, bowing in thanks.

He didn’t further request the experience of Transformation, understanding that Que Lingfei is a straightforward person—no, a straightforward lark. Since she didn’t offer the Transformation experiences, it’s likely that such information is a secret of Cangyu Mountain and cannot be shared.

With the cultivation technique in hand, the Mutant Beasts of the Spirit Source Land can start cultivating. Whether they succeed or not will depend on themselves.

Yang Zhenshan could guide them on the path of demon cultivation but would not support them throughout their journey!

Between humans and demon beasts, he would still prioritize humans.

Because demon beasts are not only foreign but also outsiders; the people of the Spirit Source Land are either his offspring or relatives related to the Yang family. Even if they’re not relatives now, they likely will be in the future.

So, everyone living in the Spirit Source Land is considered his own, but Mutant Beasts are different; no matter how exceptional they are, they can’t become relatives of Yang Zhenshan.

Unless someday someone from the Yang family marries a demon beast!
