Today, Xiao Fei received 281 guests again, obtaining 281 demon corpses in addition to spirit stones.
During this period, he had accumulated nearly 200,000 demon corpses. When he had time, he planned to use the jade altar for another sacrifice.
Just as he was about to close his doors and end his day's work, he saw Green Bean Eyes approaching with his son.
Green Bean Eyes was now in close contact with Meteor Island, sometimes residing there.
"Welcome, two fellow Daoists, please come in!"
Xiao Fei quickly ushered the two inside.
"Are you two also parasitized by demon seeds?"
Xiao Fei was a little puzzled. He had discovered recently that a very small number of demon races in the East Sea were also parasitized by demon seeds. Could these two have been infected?
"Pah, pah, pah! Nothing of the sort! We are both fine!"
Green Bean Eyes spat several times.
Over the years, this father and son pair of rats had earned considerable wealth. The elder rat had acquired many resources, nurturing the younger Golden Fur Rat to the Nascent Soul stage.
The current Golden Fur Rat had transformed into human form. Tall and slender, with golden hair and a delicate face, his round little eyes could focus light, making him quite handsome.
"I am looking for you for another matter.
Do you remember that I once made a pact with you, that after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, there would be a great opportunity!"
Xiao Fei naturally remembered this. However, he had been busy and hadn't sought out Green Bean Eyes. Today, Green Bean Eyes had come to him.
"May I ask what fellow Daoist is referring to?"
Green Bean Eyes stroked his sparse beard and said.
"By chance, I stumbled upon an ancient map. Following the clues, I consulted a vast amount of ancient literature.
From this, I discovered an ancient secret realm, likely the ruins of a large sect from ancient times.
According to the clues recorded in some texts, there may be a great opportunity within that could help break through to the Soul Transformation stage."
In the current cultivation world, while Soul Transformation cultivators existed, they were extremely rare.
Firstly, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, every small step forward was incredibly difficult. During the peak of the Lu Kingdom, despite having over a dozen Nascent Soul experts, none could break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Cultivating to the late Nascent Soul stage was even more challenging. The great general of the Qin Kingdom, with his late Nascent Soul strength, had nearly annihilated the entire Eagle Mountain Kingdom.
Even after twenty years of seclusion, with the abundance of pills from Xiao Fei, Old Ancestor Jin and Old Ancestor Jiang still failed to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Besides the difficulty of cultivating in the Nascent Soul stage, another crucial point was that even after reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, there were no opportunities to obtain treasures that could aid in advancing to Soul Transformation.
Currently, whether on the East Continent or among the East Sea demon races, treasures that could assist in breaking through to Soul Transformation were extremely rare and were held by a few major powers.
For instance, on the former East Continent, only the Great Qin Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and the Chu Kingdom possessed such treasures.
Cultivators from other forces, even if they reached the late Nascent Soul stage, would not have the chance to advance to Soul Transformation.
It was the same in the East Sea; treasures were controlled by a few major races. Vermin like Green Bean Eyes would never have a chance to rise.
Therefore, many Nascent Soul cultivators who harbored a slim hope for Soul Transformation could only search for ancient ruins, hoping to find a sliver of opportunity.
The ancient era of this cultivation world was exceptionally prosperous, boasting numerous cultivators above the Soul Transformation stage and vast quantities of rare treasures.
Xiao Fei had witnessed this firsthand in the small world he visited previously. Even the bathwater he had soaked in could help people break through.
It could be said that the wars between the human kingdoms on the East Continent were also triggered by the emergence of treasures from that small world.
These benefits were indeed enticing, but Xiao Fei still had a point of confusion.
"If there are such benefits, why doesn't fellow Daoist go quietly and claim it all for himself?"
Anyone who learned of such news should first react by wanting to monopolize it! Yet Green Bean Eyes wanted to tell him and bring him along.
"Heh heh heh! If I could enter alone, I would have already gone and swept it all clean, where would it be your turn, kid!
This matter is a long story..."
It turned out that the secret realm had a powerful natural formation, and he had tried every method but couldn't enter.
After exploration, he discovered that this natural grand formation had a brief period of weakness every sixty years, but he still couldn't enter.
Opening this natural grand formation required the simultaneous casting of five elemental forces: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
Green Bean Eyes cultivated wood elemental force, and his son cultivated metal elemental force. To gather all five elements, they needed to find three more cultivators.
When he sensed that Xiao Fei had cultivated the five elemental forces, he immediately identified his chosen person.
Xiao Fei alone could replace three, or even five, people. For treasure hunting, it was naturally better to have fewer people.
"There are still 30 years until this matter. I'm giving you advance notice. If you're unwilling to go, I can find someone else."
Xiao Fei pondered for a moment and agreed.
He used to think that his spatial realm had everything, but after his previous experience in the small world, he realized that many treasures left in the ruins of ancient powerful beings were treasures extinct in the current cultivation world.
"Good! It's a deal. Fellow Daoist, make your preparations in advance."
Green Bean Eyes stood up, intending to leave with his son, who had an extraordinary aura.
However, just as they walked out of the grand hall, a large black mist suddenly surged outside, enveloping an area of more than ten li.
Green Bean Eyes flinched, thinking that he had come at the wrong time and gotten into trouble!
"Jie jie jie..."
"Hei hei hei..."
Within the black mist, demonic figures loomed, their numbers unclear, all targeting Xiao Fei.
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Fei refused to back down. When it came to laughter, he, who mastered the Law of Laughter, was the most authentic. No one could be arrogant and laugh in front of him.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..."
With his hearty laughter, the black mist covering over ten li rolled violently. Following this, the black mist also emitted laughter identical to his.
Then, everyone saw this vast expanse of black mist rapidly shrink and condense amidst violent rolling, finally transforming into a nine-eyed demon, clutching its stomach and rolling around in foolish laughter.
The demons who had been hidden in the black mist all revealed their forms.
"Good heavens!"
Green Bean Eyes gasped, realizing he hadn't checked the almanac before going out today; he was unlucky!
At this moment, a large area around them was filled with one to two hundred demons, the weakest of whom were at the Golden Core stage.
With a casual glance, he spotted over ten demons at the Nascent Soul stage.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..."
The numerous demons present collectively turned their heads to look at the nine-eyed demon still rolling on the ground in foolish laughter, feeling somewhat embarrassed. The solemn atmosphere was completely ruined.
"Slap!"
"Shut up!"
The leading black-scaled demon fiercely slapped the nine-eyed demon across the face.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..."
"Slap, slap, slap..."
The black-scaled demon used both hands, but how could he contend with the power of the law?
Finally, he had no choice but to casually toss the unlucky creature into the sea.
"Gulp, gulp... Hahaha... Gulp, gulp..."
Affected by the law, the nine-eyed demon continued to laugh even as water choked its mouth. However, the scene finally returned to a solemn state.
Xiao Fei stood with his arms crossed, seemingly not taking the demons before him very seriously.
"You've finally arrived!"
"I have come to take your dog's life!"
"You shouldn't have come!"
"Kid, stop the nonsense. Let's see where you can escape this time!"
The black-scaled demon was an old acquaintance of Xiao Fei. This time, he was determined to kill Xiao Fei.
