Demon Realm School District Housing 7

Xie Guijin sneered, "You have something to rely on, but don't I?"

She was referring to the magic array that covered the entire demon's palace.

The goldfish monster couple mistook him for Xuan Tangjin and, feeling timid, involuntarily looked around.

Children are extremely sensitive to their parents' emotional changes. The three little goldfish monsters burst into tears, jumped off their chairs, and timidly hid behind their mother.

The female goldfish monster bent down and picked up a small goldfish monster in each hand, then conjured a fish tail to stroke the largest one.

The two sides are locked in a stalemate, with either the East Wind prevailing over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevailing over the East Wind.

The male goldfish bowed, revealing the usual smile of a businessman, and said, "It was all a misunderstanding. We will take the child away now, and we hope that the Demon Lord will do us a favor."

“Since it was a misunderstanding, it’s good that it’s been cleared up,” Xie Guijin said slowly, taking the opportunity offered by the golden fish monster. “If you want to leave, I will naturally not force you to stay. If your children want to come here to cultivate when they grow up, that’s fine too.”

The goldfish monster couple thought to themselves, "Who cares?" But they didn't show it on their faces and hurriedly left with their child.

Upon seeing this, the demon servant who brought them quickly apologized to Xie Guijin.

"Did you not explain things clearly to them, or did you also think I was going to give them money?" Xie Guijin asked, frowning, clearly confused.

The demon servant lowered his head in shame and said, "It was my stupidity that led me to believe that our master was going to give them money."

"Why?" Xie Guijin really didn't understand how such a misunderstanding could have occurred.

The demon slave then explained in detail.

Xie Guijin then understood and sighed, "I see. It's not your fault. I didn't explain it clearly. You've had a long and tiring journey. Go and rest."

After sending the demon slave away, Xie Guijin hurriedly sent a message to the other demon slaves recruiting students, clearly telling them that tuition fees would be charged to the students, and the fees would be doubled. Demon slaves who were willing to come were welcome to come and inspect the place, and the demon mansion would provide free accommodation during their inspection.

The recruiting demon slaves were taken aback when they received the information. They had originally thought that Xie Guijin was going to follow the example of the human world and pay money to take on disciples.

In fact, they had also secretly wondered why the demon race was different from the human race. The demon race had a much longer lifespan than the human race and could provide protection for their offspring.

Even if the Demon Palace nurtures the second generation of demons into talents, they will not have the same strong sense of belonging to the sect as human cultivators, nor will they be willing to sacrifice their lives for the sect.

Many of the demon servants felt that Xie Guijin would definitely suffer more losses than gains in the future.

However, no demon servants tried to persuade Xie Guijin, because the hierarchy in the demon realm was much clearer, and they had no right to oppose the demon lord.

Moreover, these demon servants were unaware of Xuan Tangjin's serious illness and all believed that Xuan Tangjin was simply in seclusion for cultivation.

They believe that Biluoji's previous statement that she and Xuan Tangjin intended to revive the former Demon Lord was out of fear that some demons would take advantage of Xuan Tangjin's seclusion to stir up trouble.

The Demon Lord is bored and wants to find something to do. Taking on students to cultivate is novel, but it's not a big deal.

Anyway, the Demon Palace is a large and powerful family, so this amount of money is nothing to them.

Little did they know that the demon's palace was already running out of money.

Upon receiving the new orders, the demon slaves began to promote the idea that no demon would be willing to go even if they were offered money, and even if the money was doubled, no demon would be willing to go.

Unexpectedly, quite a few demons changed their minds and were willing to go and take a look after hearing about it.

The demons who were willing to go didn't genuinely want their children to cultivate in the demon palace. Some demons were curious and wanted to see what was going on, some felt that the shrewd Bai Mudan was dead, and some wanted to investigate the truth since the capable Xuan Tang Jin hadn't shown up for a long time. There were even some who wanted to curry favor with the demons.

After confirming with the demons who wanted to go, the demon servants quickly sent a message to Xie Guijin.

Seeing that there were quite a few demons, Xie Guijin felt relieved and arranged for the demon servants to set up accommodations, banquets, and so on.

Disputes are inevitable between demons. The location of their residences, the seating arrangement at banquets, and the food are all carefully considered. Fortunately, the demon servants are reliable and everything is handled smoothly.

Xie Guijin then focused on perfecting the magic array.

Soon after, the demons who were willing to come arrived, and Xie Guijin hosted a grand banquet to entertain them, and everyone was happy.

After the banquet, some demons couldn't resist asking about cultivation matters.

Xie Guijin then personally led the way, bringing the demons who were going to the banquet to the open space where spiritual energy had been detected earlier.

The demons were puzzled when they saw a desolate open space.

Xie Guijin didn't keep anyone in suspense. She made a hand seal, and a huge magic array appeared in the sky above the open space, covering the entire open area.

The moment the magic circle was activated, the outer layer was a black and green light screen covered with runes, while the inner layer was a fusion of white and red light. Then the two layers intertwined and rotated in opposite directions, seemingly beautiful, but actually concealing a deadly intent.

"This, this," a demon with yellow eyebrows gaped, pointing tremblingly at the magic array, "Could it be the long-lost Soul Devouring Yin-Yang Array?"

As the name suggests, the Soul Devouring Yin-Yang Array has an outer layer that can absorb enemy attacks and reflect them back, while the inner layer is a solid shield formed by the incompatible attributes of water and fire. Such an array with both internal and external effects is already rare. What is even more terrifying is that the array's internal and external effects are integrated, meaning that it can attack and defend against both the inside and outside of the array.

This formation is a perfect blend of offense and defense, and is said to be the number one formation in the demon realm. Countless demon cultivators have tried to replicate it, including many exceptional geniuses, but unfortunately, none have succeeded.

I never expected to see you here today.

The demons were astonished. Some of them misunderstood, thinking that Xie Guijin was going to wipe them all out, and they became secretly on guard.

Although they knew they had no grudge against the Demon Palace and that harming them would not benefit Xie Guijin, they still couldn't help but overthink it.

Xie Guijin smiled but did not answer. With another wave of her hand, many barriers appeared on the open space, dividing it into hundreds of small squares, each only large enough for a human figure to sit in meditation.

If a demon is in its original form, most of them cannot bend down.

The demons guessed that this was the cultivation place Xie Guijin had mentioned, but demons generally cultivate in their original form, as it is more comfortable and effective.

Cultivating in human form is much less effective.

Furthermore, demons do not have the consciousness of group cultivation. They prefer to find places rich in spiritual energy, yin energy, blood energy, incense energy, desire energy, and heavenly energy, and choose a place to cultivate alone in seclusion.

This open space, with its mysterious magic array, lacks the six elements, making it unsuitable for demons to cultivate.

Xie Guijin removed the barrier from the nearest square, then grabbed downwards with her left hand, breaking the ground magic array and unleashing a surge of spiritual energy.

The demons that came were all selected by Xie Guijin in advance, and their cultivation method was to absorb spiritual energy.

At this moment, the demons were bathed in spiritual energy, feeling completely refreshed and invigorated.

Xie Guijin did not explain the source of the spiritual energy, but only said, "If you cultivate here, you will definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort. If you are willing, you can pay to cultivate here. Space is limited, so the highest bidder wins."

......

After a brief silence, the mature and composed tiger demon standing to Xie Guijin's right spoke up: "The Demon Lord didn't say that before, and besides, this spiritual energy is coming from somewhere strange..."

“None of you have ever seen such surging spiritual energy before,” Xie Guijin took three steps forward, stood in the center of the square, turned around and interrupted with a smile, “You are all powerful beings. Can’t you tell whether this spiritual energy is harmful or not? If you still have doubts, you can leave. There are always people in the vast Six Realms who are willing to come.”

"Is it alright for the Demon Lord to divide this place into hundreds of sections, each one like this?" The beautiful cat demon raised the corners of her eyes, her pupils narrowing into thin slits as she surveyed her surroundings.

Xie Guijin smiled slightly upon hearing this, waved his long sleeve with his right hand to remove all the barriers, and swung his left arm from right to left, changing his left hand from a palm to a fist, thus removing all the formations on the ground that sealed the spiritual energy.

The entire open space was filled with spiritual energy, surging up from underground, but it was all blocked by the Spirit Devouring Yin-Yang Array and could not dissipate.

All the demons fell into a dreamlike state.

"How is this possible?" The mandrill, now in its true form, trembled with black fur and muttered to itself with its enormous mouth, "I've never heard of this place being a gathering place of spiritual energy."

Xie Guijin once again worked on sealing the spiritual energy and setting up a barrier. She then politely addressed the demons, saying, "Have you all seen clearly? Those who do not wish to stay can leave now."

Xie Guijin had previously intended to establish a school in the demon realm, so most of the demons who were invited this time brought their families, and there were also relatives and friends among the demons.

They immediately began to whisper among themselves.

They sensed the pure and harmless spiritual energy and were naturally moved.

They discussed and speculated that Xie Guijin had somehow discovered a large amount of spiritual energy that had been sealed here for countless years.

It is very likely that the seal has already loosened, and the demon palace is unable to stop it.

Blindly refining excessive spiritual energy will cause one to explode and die, and the entire demon palace will inevitably be unable to enjoy all the spiritual energy.

Once the spiritual energy leaks out, it will be known to the Six Realms. Even if Xuan Tang Jin is powerful, the demons of the Demon Palace cannot protect this place. They will surely lose the great foundation that Bai Mudan built, or even their lives.

Therefore, Xie Guijin sent demon slaves to lure them here. With the Soul Devouring Yin-Yang Array in place, at least they wouldn't be afraid of them taking the opportunity to steal the treasure.

If they refine the spiritual energy of this place to cultivate, they will have a karmic connection with Xie Guijin and the Demon Palace. Even if they cannot become henchmen in the future, they should at least show their support when the Demon Palace is in danger, so as not to be discovered by the Heavenly Dao and have their inner demons planted.

Moreover, with their small number of demons, even if they joined forces, they could not possibly survive after the Soul Devouring Yin-Yang Array was activated.

The tuition fee was probably demanded by Xie Guijin because she was forced to send them spiritual energy cultivation and felt resentful.

In fact, they would rather spend money to cultivate here, which would be a way of repaying a small portion of their debt.

They made a fortune, and their only concern was that Xie Guijin might have ulterior motives, but they couldn't figure out what else she might be after.

Amidst the cacophony of voices, a group of bright red fire rat spirits stepped forward. The leader, with wide, impatient eyes, said, "Demon Lord, we are willing to cultivate here. This square can accommodate all the demons present. In my opinion, there's no need for a bidding war, lest it damage our harmony. Do you think this amount of money is enough?"

“What you say is true, Rat Master,” Xie Guijin said, taking the gourd full of money from the Fire Rat Spirit and scanning it with his divine sense. “It was my oversight. This money is enough for you for six hours. Please, Rat Master.”

The money in the magic gourd was enough to buy the entire demon palace, which had no spiritual energy, but the fire rat spirit did not object to the right to use it for six hours. It immediately called the remaining fire rat spirits and went straight to the nearest square, where they each went inside and sat down.

Xie Guijin made a hand seal and removed the spiritual energy sealing array from the square where the fire rat spirits were located.
