“This way.”
He Xiuyuan quickly calculated with his fingers and immediately figured out where the other party had gone. After determining the direction, He Xiuyuan led Songfeng and immediately headed in that direction.
After the two walked through the mountain forest for about half an hour, they soon saw a figure in the distance.
Looking at the figure, it was surrounded by Demonic Qi, which was almost identical to the Demonic Qi on the animal skin Songfeng had given him. It was likely the Superior Songfeng had mentioned.
However, to confirm whether it was indeed this demon, He Xiuyuan turned to look at Songfeng.
Seeing He Xiuyuan’s gaze, Songfeng immediately understood his meaning and nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed the one.
Upon seeing this, He Xiuyuan stood still, watching the Weasel not far away.
The Weasel was enveloped in Demonic Qi, appearing to have some cultivation.
Knowing that such demons have extremely keen senses, the two of them only watched from a distance and did not speak or communicate, so as not to be noticed by the Weasel.
The Weasel sat in place, quietly Cultivating, absorbing all the surrounding Spiritual Qi into its body.
“Hmm?”
He Xiuyuan’s gaze fell on the Weasel, then paused slightly, as he noticed a large rat not far from the Weasel.
Looking at the faint Demonic Qi on the rat, it was also a demon with some cultivation.
Two demons?
He Xiuyuan’s eyes flickered slightly, then he calmed down and watched carefully.
After waiting for about half a day, the Weasel finally got up and ended its session.
The Rat spirit, which had also been Cultivating nearby, also ended its session and stood up.
The Weasel glanced indifferently at the Rat spirit, then walked to a nearby stone and sat down.
“Have you found the spiritual herb I asked you to find earlier?”
The Rat spirit quickly nodded, “I’ve found it!”
With that, the Rat spirit immediately burrowed into a nearby hole. A moment later, it crawled out, holding several spiritual herbs in its mouth.
The Weasel looked at the spiritual herbs the Rat spirit brought out, nodded in satisfaction, casually took the spiritual herbs in its hand, and then planted them nearby.
Seeing this, the Rat spirit quickly hid to the side, seemingly knowing what was about to happen.
After running a few meters away, the Rat spirit finally stopped, then looked at the Weasel with some awe.
“Superior Immortal, why don’t you wait until that little Taoist Songfeng has fully comprehended the key points of the Qi Gathering and Spirit Nourishing Method before you ask him? You haven’t fully grasped the profound mysteries of this Dao method yet, and if something goes wrong, it might damage your foundation.”
The Rat spirit was somewhat trembling.
Earlier, it had seen the Weasel try many times to learn this Dao method, but it always failed.
It even almost harmed itself during the attempts.
In such a situation, seeing this naturally made it fearful.
The Weasel nearby heard this and looked at the Rat spirit with displeasure.
“It’s not without reason that your cultivation is so low. If Cultivating the Dao relies entirely on others, and you don’t know how to diligently Cultivate yourself, do you truly believe you can achieve Dao one day?”
“As for little Taoist Songfeng, I did give him the Dao method and asked him to help comprehend it, but whether he can truly grasp the mysteries of this Dao method is still uncertain.”
“If I rely entirely on that Taoist Songfeng, and he can’t comprehend the mysteries of this Dao method, then what?”
“Not to mention, the Dao method I gave him was jumbled, which probably increased the difficulty of his comprehension significantly.”
The Weasel snorted twice, showing extreme disdain for the Rat spirit’s behavior.
Listening to this, the Rat spirit’s small eyes moved, but it didn’t know what to say to refute.
The Weasel was amused to see the Rat spirit still looking unconvinced.
“Back then, you dug up and found these Taoist classics, but in the end, it was I who succeeded in Cultivating them. Isn’t it because I directly chose to comprehend these Taoist classics that I have my current cultivation?”
“It is precisely because I have this cultivation that I can keep that little Taoist Songfeng in check and have him help us comprehend these Dao classics. In the end, the method he comprehends will help us.”
“If I hadn’t comprehended this method myself, would you and I be in this current situation?”
The Weasel looked at the Rat spirit’s expression and couldn't help but speak continuously.
The Rat spirit blinked its eyes, a hint of confusion in them.
The Weasel sighed upon seeing this. Forget it, this Rat spirit had only recently gained intelligence, how could it be as smart as it was?
However, it was precisely because of this that it was willing to teach this fellow a bit of the Qi Refining Method.
Otherwise, when it needed to Cultivate or do anything, it wouldn't have a subordinate to help out.
Having such a not-so-smart Rat spirit by its side, teaching it a bit of cultivation, and using it for its own purposes was quite good.
“Alright, stand further away. I’ll try this Qi Gathering and Spirit Nourishing Method again.”
After a few casual words with the Rat spirit, the Weasel took out a yellowed ancient book, looked at it intently, comprehending what was written in the ancient book while attempting to Cultivate.
He Xiuyuan and Songfeng, who were not far away, heard the conversation between the two demons clearly.
He Xiuyuan listened to the Weasel’s words and then looked at Songfeng beside him.
At this moment, Songfeng’s face was somewhat grim, filled with embarrassment, and a hint of regret and unwillingness.
A moment later, this hint of regret turned into a long sigh from the bottom of his heart.
When Songfeng opened his eyes again and looked at He Xiuyuan, his expression was complex.
This time, if it weren’t for He Xiuyuan, he might not have known how long he would have been toyed with by this demon.
The reason this demon gave him the Taoist ancient texts to comprehend was to use his hands to understand them.
He had previously thought that this demon was truly willing to teach him these Spells.
Except for the initial Qi Refining Method, which was to gain his trust, all the other Taoist magic were given to him after being jumbled by the other party.
No wonder, no wonder those things made him dizzy just by looking at them, and he had no idea where to start comprehending them.
He Xiuyuan stood aside, and seeing Songfeng’s gaze, he gently nodded back at him, then shook his head, signaling him not to take it to heart.
The other party was just too eager to do something for this world, which was why he was deceived by this demon.
What's more, this demon had indeed provided the Qi Refining Method earlier.
If the old He Xiuyuan had encountered this, he would probably have believed the Weasel implicitly.
After all, the authenticity of the Qi Refining Method was beyond doubt.
This made it even more understandable that he was deceived.
