Demon Realm School District Housing 3
After taking human form, one must endure the "Three Calamities" (thunder, fire, and wind) every three hundred years until one attains immortality.
Because demons, unlike immortals, do not need to sever emotions and love, many demons form couples and have children.
Second-generation demons like Biluoji often have low demonic power at birth compared to those who cultivate demonic powers on their own, but they do not need to go through the two steps of awakening intelligence and transforming into human form.
The second-generation demons can transform into human form shortly after birth.
The laws of nature are constant; if a second-generation demon wants to overcome the trials that follow, it will have to put in a hundred times more effort than if it cultivated itself into a demon on its own.
Second-generation demons are generally unable to endure hardship and fatigue. Only a very few self-disciplined and resilient second-generation demons can become powerful demons with profound demonic power through diligent cultivation.
The vast majority, like Biluoji, lack the ability to protect themselves and are unable to survive the "Three Calamities." Some are injured, while others lose their lives.
However, unlike the tribulation of transformation, if a demon dies in the "Three Calamities," it can be reincarnated. In this respect, second-generation demons enjoy the same treatment as demons who cultivate on their own.
Xie Guijin sensed a business opportunity, but still needed to determine its feasibility.
So she summoned the maids of the demon palace and asked them one by one how they cultivated, what precautions they should take, what methods could help with cultivation, and whether there were any side effects, and so on.
Xie Guijin took the charcoal pencil and wrote down everything carefully before going to the library cave to browse through the books.
Thanks to Biluoji's mother, the original demon lord Bai Mudan, unlike other demons who liked to seek pleasure, she loved reading except for cultivation and business. She collected most of the books in the demon world, including classics, cultivation techniques, geography, travelogues, local customs, and even little demon stories, which can be described as having everything.
The system urged, "Host, what are you doing? Your mission is to sell houses. Instead of going to find suitable places to build houses, hurry up and start construction. What are you dawdling about?"
"Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood," Xie Guijin said, not at all annoyed by the system's audacity, as she frantically searched the bookshelves for the books she needed.
She found a pile of books, leaned over the table, flipped through them quickly with her left hand, and occasionally wrote and drew with her right hand until the paper was full. Only then did she put down what she was holding and stretch.
"What exactly do you want to do?" The system couldn't understand Xie Guijin's scribbles at all.
“That’s easy, of course we’ll build a school,” Xie Guijin said, patting the ink-stained papers. “These are the feasibility study reports for the Demon Realm Academy.”
The system was speechless: "Do you think I've never seen a report before? Never mind that, what made you think of building a school in the demon realm? It has absolutely nothing to do with your mission."
“How can it not be related? Once a school is built, you can collect tuition fees from students. Isn’t this just generating income from real estate within Biluoji’s territory? A school is a type of real estate.” Xie Guijin stood up, twisting her waist and neck as she retorted.
The system was speechless.
Xie Guijin continued with great interest: "I am now basically certain that although demons currently cultivate alone, in reality, cultivation methods of the same species and the same category have many similarities."
Furthermore, they all encounter bottlenecks and obstacles in their cultivation process. Overcoming these bottlenecks allows them to advance to a higher level, while failing to do so can have varying consequences. However, if they could systematically learn basic knowledge like humans and utilize the experiences of other demons, they could avoid making major mistakes in their cultivation. With these advantages, they would naturally want to attend school.
The system decided to take a roundabout approach to dispel Xie Guijin's unrealistic and fanciful idea: "Do you know how demons are usually described in other realms?"
"To bewitch people?" Although she didn't know the purpose of the system's sudden question, Xie Guijin was in a good mood and didn't mind chatting with the system.
The system said in a deep voice, "No, it's reckless and unruly behavior. How can a demon sit obediently in a classroom and listen to lessons like a weak human?"
"That's because they don't know the benefits of going to school. Once they do, hehehe." Xie Guijin was immersed in her imagination of a school overflowing with students.
As a top-performing real estate marketer, Xie Guijin knows all too well that among all the houses, only those in good school districts truly don't need marketing; they will be snapped up by parents without a second thought.
In the demon realm, where competition is equally fierce, school district housing will surely be widely adopted as well.
Xie Guijin was full of ambition and determined to make a big splash.
Time was of the essence, and Xie Guijin knew it was impossible to complete the school construction and student recruitment within seven days.
Therefore, she decided to pursue multiple projects simultaneously.
The first challenge is to select a site for the school within the Demon Palace. This is not difficult in itself. The challenge lies in allowing other demons to enter the Demon Palace without letting them become aware of its current state, especially since Xuan Tang Jin is unconscious, to prevent other demons from taking advantage of the situation.
Secondly, he ordered the best among the various types of demon slaves in the Demon Palace to write introductory teaching materials based on the books in the Library Cave and their own cultivation experiences.
Thirdly, the demon servants who focused on speed-based cultivation were sent out to find renowned wandering demons in various places and persuade them to join the demon palace's schools as teachers. Xie Guijin set a limit on the amount of payment in advance, which the demon servants could then adjust flexibly, with the primary goal of getting the wandering demons to come.
Fourth, for the surrounding demon races, different propaganda strategies were formulated according to their actual situations, and demon slaves were sent to promote recruitment.
After making the arrangements, Xie Guijin began selecting a location within the Demon Mansion.
Her method was to travel to every inch of the Demon Palace, personally investigate the Demon Palace, and try to find out the reason for Bai Mudan's sudden death and Xuan Tangjin's serious illness.
Xie Guijin, still patting her chest, said to Dai Biluoji, "This is because I had no choice but to start recruiting students and collecting tuition fees before I was fully prepared in order to complete the mission within seven days. After you take over, you must follow my plan and prepare everything before starting school. Don't worry, I won't recruit many demons this time. You can gradually expand the recruitment process."
As Xie Guijin spoke, she continuously scanned the area with a magical artifact in each hand.
These two magical artifacts were made by Biluo Ji. Although Biluo Ji disliked cultivation, she loved crafting artifacts.
Bai Mudan was not skilled in this art, so she sent Biluoji to the home of a master weapon refiner in the demon realm to learn.
Because the current trend emphasizes the importance of a master-disciple relationship, and Bai Mudan wanted Bi Luoji to learn the strengths of various schools, she changed Bi Luoji's identity and appearance many times to go to different schools to learn.
These weapon-refining masters, whose cultivation was not as profound as Bai Mudan's, were all deceived.
Therefore, although Biluoji's cultivation was not profound, she was quite knowledgeable about magical artifacts. However, she made artifacts for her own amusement, and outsiders had no idea about it.
At this moment, Xie Guijin held one in her hand to detect the magic array of the demon palace, and another to detect whether the demon palace was a suitable place for cultivation.
In the Six Realms, depending on the different cultivation methods of the various demons, the places of cultivation can be divided into those that are worldly and those that are otherworldly.
The so-called "birthplace" is a place abundant with spiritual energy, yin energy, and blood energy, mostly in the wild.
In the secular world, there is the presence of incense offerings; for example, demons often cultivate near temples and monasteries where Buddhism and Taoism reside. Some demons are born from the desires of the six realms and cultivate by devouring and refining desires; they are mostly found in places with abundant desires, such as brothels and casinos.
Finally, there is the absorption of the Heavenly Dao's energy. The rulers of the Six Realms are all protected by the Heavenly Dao, and cultivating with them can greatly enhance one's cultivation. Among the Six Realms, humans are the weakest, so in the human harem, demons often disguise themselves as human men or women to bewitch the rulers with their magic. Usually, virtuous and wise rulers remain unmoved, while rulers of fallen kingdoms have their dragon energy drained, leading to the downfall of their empires.
There is certainly none in the Three Qi Demon Palaces of the mortal world.
All three types of spiritual energy exist in the world, but their concentrations vary. Xie Guijin only wanted to find a place with abundant spiritual energy. In her view, those who cultivated using yin energy and bloodthirsty energy were bound to have poor character and were not suitable for inviting into the demon's palace, like inviting wolves into the house.
However, the Demon Palace was a barren land that Bai Mudan had specifically chosen. Xie Guijin searched for a long time but could not find a place with spiritual energy. Not only was there no spiritual energy, but there was also no yin energy or blood evil energy.
Undeterred, she planned to explore the entire demon's palace in one go.
Suddenly, a demon servant staggered towards her in mid-air, shouting, "My lord, something terrible has happened! There's trouble in the Library Cave!"
Xie Guijin instinctively ran towards the library cave, clutching two magical artifacts in her hands.
The demon slave, who was descending, lost control and nearly collided with Xie Guijin. Fortunately, the demon slave reacted quickly, drifted past Xie Guijin, and landed on its own, rolling several times before coming to a stop.
Xie Guijin was startled and quickly asked, "Are you alright? Where are you hurt?"
The messenger demon servant, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, sprang to his feet, clutching his back and grimacing, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, Master, let's hurry over there."
Xie Guijin put the magic weapon into her bosom, checked the demon slave over to make sure it was alright, and then turned and ran away.
The demon slave twitched its lips. It knew that the demon lord was not good at demon magic, but surely he didn't have to run around on two legs like a human who had no magic power.
It didn't doubt Xie Guijin's identity, only assuming that Xie Guijin had forgotten for a moment in her haste. The demoness quickly stepped forward, helped Xie Guijin, and used her magic to float towards the library cave.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, a group of demon servants stood guard outside. Xie Guijin lifted her leg to go inside.
The demon servants hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Master, you can't go in. The demons inside have lost their minds and are going mad."
"What's going on?" Xie Guijin paused, her brows furrowed as she asked.
“We don’t know either. We were originally ordered to serve tea inside when suddenly a demon went berserk and attacked us. We fought back while retreating from the cave. Fortunately, our lord set up a barrier, which saved our lives.”
The demon servants chattered amongst themselves, and Xie Guijin, seeing that they were all injured, quickly ordered a doctor to examine their wounds.
Xie Guijin stepped forward and, through the barrier, saw several demon slaves attacking haphazardly inside.
Many more demon servants were seated in meditation, seemingly in a deep state, oblivious to the outside world.
“I have a master-servant contract with them, so I should be fine going in,” Xie Guijin thought. “Even if they attack me, their attack power will be reduced because of the contract. I have to go in and stop them.”
With that thought in mind, Xie Guijin reached out and broke the barrier, then entered the cave alone.
The demon servants, who were healing their wounds outside the cave, realized what was happening too late to stop it and cried out in alarm.
Xie Guijin entered the cave and carefully approached the crazed demon slave. Before she could activate the contract to stop him, the nearest demon slave noticed her and raised his hand to strike her.
A large cluster of willow leaves transformed into sharp blades, forming a fan shape, and struck Xie Guijin's face.
