Chapter 20 The Immortal Guides the Way to Obtain the Demon Orb
Fang Mansion.
Fang Qi lay on the couch, pondering Zhou Chongyue's interior painting.
What is an inner vision?
The spiritual world of a martial artist includes mountains and rivers, birds and fish, and even ferocious beasts like tigers.
Only when the spirit is projected onto specific objects or beasts can the spiritual world be called an inner landscape.
The theory is simple, but how difficult it is to truly control the mind and create a concrete inner world.
Even Fang Qi, a cultivator, had to ponder deeply.
As dusk falls and the afterglow bathes you without you even realizing it.
Seeing their master in such a state, Jia Si and Jia Nian silently stayed by his side.
The guards, including Lin Zhan, Lin Zhou, and Chen Qing, saw this from afar and dared to guess but dared not ask.
Fang Qi only emerged from his meditative state after the sun had completely set.
"Just as Chairman Zhou said, the understanding of inner vision cannot be achieved overnight."
"We'll have to put it aside for now and take care of other things first."
He has a lot to do now.
Earn money to buy a Spirit Gathering Array so Jia Si can practice drawing talismans... Comprehend the Inner Landscape Diagram... Refine the Spirit Seed for the "Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Control Technique"...
Right now, he plans to first figure out whether the demons and monsters in this world are related.
......
With the ocean paving the way, things progressed very smoothly.
In just two days, Fang Qi had basically found out everything and even managed to acquire two demons.
The source is still the Fellowship of the Liberation Army.
Cheng Ting of Longxing Trading Company and Zhou Wei of Tongda Shipping both have businesses dealing in demons.
However, the two businesses sell materials such as the flesh, blood, and fur of demons, which is quite difficult for Fang Qi to obtain from living demon beasts.
However, because Fang Qi had previously demonstrated the circulation route of Qi and blood in the meridians of the Dark Force using his Ming Jin strength, Cheng Ting and Zhou Wei admired him quite a bit.
Fang Qi was generous, so he agreed to the offer.
Five days later, Cheng Ting and Zhou Wei personally escorted them.
Cheng Tingyun brought a sheep demon, while Zhou Wei brought a bull demon to the Fang residence.
Lin Zhan, Lin Zhou, and the other guards were immediately subdued by the two demons.
Although they were elites of the Black Dragon Society, frequently engaged in martial arts battles, and had even eaten demon flesh, none of them had ever seen a living demon.
"You two must be tired from your journey, please come in."
Fang Qi, as usual, showed no fear when facing the two demons.
Cheng Ting and Zhou Wei exchanged glances, filled with admiration.
Although their families traded in demons, this was the first time either of them had ever seen a living demon, and they were somewhat afraid when they first saw one.
Yet this young man, facing such a ferocious creature, seemed as relaxed and carefree as if he were looking at two domestic fowl.
The two were secretly amazed, but did not enter the mansion.
"Mr. Fang, I have some matters to attend to at home. I'll come for tea another day."
Zhou Wei cupped her hands and smiled.
Cheng Ting immediately said he had something to do and would come again next time.
They did have something to do, and it was a major matter concerning the future of martial arts.
In truth, we owe this great deal to Fang Qi.
It was precisely because Fang Qi needed living demons that they came into contact with living demons, were inspired, and found the method to comprehend the inner vision diagram.
Observing living demons and comprehending their inner workings is dozens of times more reliable than mere speculation.
But not many people can do it.
How many people in the entire city of Tianjin can come into contact with living demons?
But they can.
Therefore, the two were in a hurry to go back and study it.
Walking on the main road, Cheng Ting suddenly asked, "Do you think Mr. Fang had already figured out the true method of constructing the inner landscape, which is why he came to you and me to buy demons?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei nodded solemnly: "Mr. Fang has exceptional insight, I think it's very possible, otherwise why would he specifically mention the need for living demons?"
"If you and I can understand even a little bit of this, then we really have to thank Mr. Fang."
"right!"
"Should we talk to Meng Yusen and Xu Fangjing?" Zhou Wei asked.
"As Chairman Zhou said, the world has its own rules of operation, and everything depends on fate," Cheng Ting said with a meaningful smile.
Zhou Wei understood.
Cheng Ting's fate is something that cannot be spoken of.
Even if we say we should wait until they are far ahead.
......
Fang Mansion.
Lin Zhan, Lin Zhou, and more than a dozen other guards, filled with fear, pushed the iron cage holding the two demons into the mansion.
They simply couldn't understand what the master wanted these two demons for.
It's true that warriors want to eat demon flesh, but they don't need to live demons at all; they can just buy the meat directly.
But they dared not ask any more questions. Once the iron cage was in place, Fang Qi drove them away.
Although Lin Zhan and Chen Qing were afraid, they were also worried that something might happen, so they initially refused to leave.
"Don't worry, I'm just chatting with them, nothing will happen."
Only then did the dozen or so guards nervously emerge from the courtyard.
Fang Qi drove everyone out and closed the courtyard gate.
In the courtyard, only he, Jia Si, and Jia Nian remained.
boom!boom!
The two demons were extremely agitated. Ever since they entered the mansion, they had been frantically banging against the iron cage and letting out deafening roars.
Lin Zhan and the others outside the courtyard were terrified.
That thing, can you chat on it?
If you really want to chat, go find them; you're sure to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.
......
In the courtyard.
Although Jia Si and Jia Nian have grown a lot, they were still terrified and turned pale when faced with such a monster.
Fang Qi told the two women to stand further away, while he strolled leisurely to the iron cage to observe the two demons.
One was a sheep demon, and the other was a bull demon. They were several sizes larger than normal cattle and sheep, with thick fur that looked like willow branches hanging upside down on their bodies. Their eyes were blood red, as if they had mad cow disease.
When people stand at the forefront, they can only be described as insignificant.
No wonder Lin Zhan and the others were afraid.
Fang Qi was naturally not afraid; on the contrary, he was somewhat surprised.
Just as he was observing the two demons, he suddenly thought of the fierce tiger in Chairman Zhou's interior painting and felt a sense of unease.
"Observing demons helps in understanding the inner vision..."
"But it seems like it's still not quite there yet."
These two demons lacked the ferocity of true beasts. When Fang Qi tried to comprehend them, he found the results to be mediocre, only slightly better than wishful thinking.
In reality, the time required to comprehend the inner vision is still difficult to estimate.
"However, this method is a direction."
"The cattle and sheep demons are less ferocious, but what if they were replaced by mountain beasts like tigers and leopards?"
Thinking of this, Fang Qi's eyes lit up.
Assuming that ferocious beasts are more effective, what if it were demonic beasts from the cultivation world trying to comprehend the inner realm?
Wouldn't that be even better?
Fang Qi immediately wanted to go back to the cultivation world and find a demon beast to try his luck with.
But he quickly suppressed the thought.
Things need to be done step by step.
Right now, let's deal with these two demons first.
He raised his hand and cast a detection spell to check on the two beasts.
Disappointment appeared on Fang Qi's face after only a moment.
These two demonic creatures looked like the monsters from the cultivation world—frenzied and savage—but...
"I can't sense any demonic power at all."
Yes, neither of the two demons possessed any demonic power.
If it doesn't possess demonic power, then it's not a demon beast.
"It seems impossible for demons and monsters of this realm to cultivate the 'Myriad Beasts Spirit Control Technique'..."
"Roar! Roar!"
Fang Qi was already annoyed, and seeing the two great demons acting wildly and violently, making the cage rattle loudly, his killing intent surged up immediately.
Swish!
With a flick of his finger, the "Immortal's Guidance" spell shot out, instantly piercing the Bull Demon's chest.
Although these two demons are not monsters, they were bought with a lot of money. If they are dismantled and taken to the cultivation world, they can be sold for a few spirit stones to recoup their costs.
Adhering to the principle that since they had already killed him, they might as well take his heart's blood while he was still alive to see what would happen.
Fang Qi, clinging to a sliver of hope, extracted the heart's blood from the bull demon's mouth.
Sure enough, although it wasn't the blood of ordinary livestock, it also lacked demonic power, only possessing the evil aura of the demons of this world.
Just as Fang Qi was feeling disappointed, a faint light flickered at the location of the Bull Demon's heart, as if there were a bead there.
bead?
A demon core?!
He quickly took the beads out.
The beads are dark in color but have a smooth surface, resembling brown pearls.
It has no demonic power, but it contains a violent energy, just like the demonic power contained in a demon core.
Fang Qiduan measured the beads, secretly delighted.
If this thing can be confirmed as a demon core, then why bother with procuring secret medicines? We can just resell this demon core directly!
A single demon core can cost hundreds of spirit stones for a low-quality one and several hundred for a high-quality one!
Fang Qi raised his hand and killed another sheep demon. Using the same method, he used the "Immortal's Guidance" spell to pierce its heart and obtain its heart's blood and the bead.
However, the Sheep Demon's bead was very small, only half the size of the Bull Demon's.
But it also contains manic energy.
Fang Qi suppressed his excitement and carefully examined the two beads.
But before he could investigate for long, he realized something was wrong.
After the two beads were separated from the body, their internal energy began to dissipate.
And it dissipates very quickly.
At this rate, the bead will probably turn into a roadside object in half a day!
Fortunately, Fang Qi was a cultivator, and he immediately used his spiritual power to restrain the escape, thus preventing it from dissipating.
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued his research.
But less than ten minutes later, Fang Qi's expression changed again.
The spiritual power did prevent the bead's energy from dissipating, but the consumption of spiritual power was terrifying.
In just a short while, the spiritual energy in his dantian was reduced to 30%!
"If spiritual energy can be prevented from dissipating, then in the cultivation world, where there is spiritual energy, wouldn't it also prevent dissipation?"
Fang Qi put away the two beads, and then called Lin Zhan, Lin Zhou and other guards to come in and dismember the body.
Lin Zhan, Chen Qing, and the others were secretly anxious because they suddenly couldn't hear the demons' frantic cries, but when they came in, they were all stunned.
The two demons are dead?
Is this how you chat?!
The group felt a chill run down their spines, realizing their earlier assumptions had been hasty. Such a candid conversation was something only demons would dare to have.
"Hey, Head Nurse Lin and Head Nurse Chen, come here. I need to talk to you about something."
"??"
