Hearing Zhao Huai’s rejection, Li Yanqing felt slightly disappointed in his heart.
Zhao Huai glanced at him and slowly said, “This is the second lesson I’m teaching you: do what you can and don’t show off.”
“Because you don’t know how many enemies there are. What if you kill one and a group comes, then you kill a group and another horde comes? What would you do?”
“So the best thing to do is to avoid it.”
Upon hearing Zhao Huai’s words, Li Yanqing nodded thoughtfully, seeming to understand, and firmly said:
“I understand, Senior. I will not go to the brothel anymore.”
“As long as you understand, you can go back now. As long as the demonic qi on your body is not cleaned, it is impossible to refine qi.” Zhao Huai said with his hands behind his back.
“I understand.
Although Li Yanqing was helpless, he had no choice. Who could blame his bad luck?
“Wait.”
As soon as Li Yanqing turned his head, he was stopped by Zhao Huai.
“What’s wrong, Senior?
Zhao Huai took out three Taoist talismans from the black ring and smiled:
“Take these three Taoist talismans first. Thanks to you for today’s constable incident, with these talismans, you can repel ordinary demons and still have time to escape.”
Li Yanqing took the talismans, a sly smile flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Senior still cared about him and deliberately left three talismans for self-defense.
“You don’t have True Qi magic power, so just aim and throw them when using.” Zhao Huai reminded him again.
Li Yanqing smiled brilliantly: “I understand, Senior. If you need help in the future, just come to me. Once a teacher, forever a father. Your business is my business. I’ll take my leave now.”
Watching the departing figure, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but ponder deeply.
The demonic qi on Li Yanqing was not weak, and it should be among the top-ranked demons he had ever encountered. Though he hadn’t encountered many demons himself.
Speaking of the word “demon,” Zhao Huai carefully recalled these three years since he came to this world, and the number of demons he had seen with his own eyes should still be within ten.
As for demons, his understanding was also very limited.
At present, the only information Zhao Huai knew was the following.
First, demons like to eat humans and disguise themselves as humans, wearing human skin, hiding among mortals, deceiving and eating people. They are often ferocious, some are beasts, and some are ghosts.
Powerful demons will keep humans in captivity, fattening them up before eating.
Fortunately, they also have weaknesses. No matter how much they look like humans, there will always be flaws, and often a certain part of their body is a demon’s characteristic.
Second, demons are also graded, but he doesn’t know the specific grades. It is said that the more human-like the demon, the higher the grade, and the more similar to humans, the more difficult it is to find the small flaws in their bodies.
Lastly, magical weapons are the best tools for cultivators to kill demons. The stronger the magical weapon, the better the effect. Magical weapons are divided into one to nine stars according to their power, and nine-star magical weapons are the strongest in the world.
Every year, many Immortal Cultivation Sect disciples go down the mountain to eliminate demons, maintaining the order of the Mortal World. The human race still maintains the upper hand, and small demons dare not show their heads easily.
As for more information, Zhao Huai’s research was not thorough. He learned much of the information above from ancient books.
For example, how do demons disguise themselves as humans? Where are their gathering places located? What specific species of demons are there?
He didn’t know these questions.
When Zhao Huai first saw a demon, it was on his way south to escape. At the lakeside, a group of people was drinking water.
As he was drinking water, someone was pulled into the water by a hidden, unclear monster at the bottom of the lake.
At that time, he was just a young man who had just turned twenty. Where had he seen such a scene, his face turned pale with fright, and he fled on the spot.
It was after witnessing the tragic scenes of people being slaughtered in chaotic times that he firmly resolved to pursue Immortal Cultivation.
He cultivated his detached mentality in the face of difficulties.
Shaking off his thoughts, Zhao Huai walked towards the house.
However, after looking around for a while, he still hadn’t seen Madam’s figure.”Not in the kitchen?”
“Did she go out?”
He looked around and saw the ready-made dishes on the table, slightly puzzled.
At the same time, there was a medicine furnace in the middle of the kitchen, emitting hot air, and he didn’t know what was being prepared inside. The fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted out from it.
“Husband, I’m back.”
As Zhao Huai was pondering, a familiar voice came from the back door.
Zhao Huai saw Yu Qinghan returning with a basket of vegetables and couldn’t help but smile bitterly:
“Madam, where did you go just now? You disappeared in a short while.” Yu Qinghan put the vegetable basket in the kitchen and smiled:
“I saw that you were awake, so I went out to buy some medicinal herbs. I’m also going to start cultivating, so I thought I’d buy mine at the same time. The medicine takes a long time to boil, so you’ll have to wait a few more days, husband.’
Yu Qinghan was telling the truth. Her cultivation was progressing rapidly. Although she didn’t need pills to break through, she needed medicinal strength to stabilize her cultivation.
“Let’s eat first.”
“Alright.”
By the afternoon, Zhao Huai was idle in front of the counter, and his wife had gone to see a play.
The pawnshop’s business was still average – occasionally someone would pawn some silver or jade, but it was always small money.
Since he had some free time right now, why not upgrade his destiny and clean up the bottom-of-the-box destinies?
Zhao Huai began to check his mind and found that apart from a few evergreen destinies, many destinies still needed to be upgraded.
For example, [Light as a Swallow (Human Grade – Medium)] and [Swordsmanship Specialization (Yellow Grade – High)].
These two destinies had been with Zhao Huai for a long time, and their effects were quite good.
However, their grades were a bit low, so they needed to be upgraded.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Huai first disassembled the [Fiddle at Writing] and [Painting Technique Beginner] destinies.
The white star points in his mind all flowed into [Light as a Swallow].
Bright yellow light came, and a new destiny was born.
[Quick Mover (Yellow Grade – High)]: Your movement is very fast, the speed has increased greatly, twice that of the original.
Zhao Huai nodded in satisfaction.
With a speed that reached double the original, he could definitely dominate a large group of people at the same level.
Then, it was time for [Swordsmanship Specialization].
“Dismantle [Doctor of Classical Studies] and [All-around Gracefulness].” Zhao Huai murmured in his heart.
He had thought about this in advance. [Doctor of Classical Studies] could only enhance his academic talent in classics, which was not very relevant to him.
The other one was [All-around Gracefulness], a social-type destiny. He felt that his own brain was already enough for him and didn’t need to be upgraded. He could give it to something more useful instead.
He still planned to save [Expert Appraiser] as a trump card, since it was something to rely on for his livelihood, and he would see if it was useful in the future.
The yellow light spot disappeared in his mind, and a new dark blue destiny appeared, and [Swordsmanship Specialization] finally transformed.
Zhao Huai took a closer look.
[Sword Skill Genius (Black Grade – High)]: You possess unparalleled talent in swordsmanship, and your cultivation speed in sword skills is very fast. (Special effect) Swordsmanship Enlightenment: Achieve a state where man and sword are one for an hour, once a week.
