The middle-aged cultivator rolled his eyes and gently rubbed his right thumb together.
He hesitated, wondering what his chances were of killing the two demons if he suddenly attacked.
Even with a surprise attack, I don't think there's a chance to kill the two demons.
At most, we can take the opportunity to severely damage one of them, but there's nothing we can do about the rest.
In the realms below the Golden Core stage, humans often have the advantage over demons.
Because they can refine formations, create natal magic treasures, and various other formations.
With numerous enhancements, the demon race is no match for the human race in battles against other races of the same realm.
However, once the demon race reached the Nascent Soul stage, the situation reversed between the two sides.
Humans possess innate magical treasures, and demons, after transforming into human form, are no less powerful.
Compared to the physically weak humans, the demon race has a more resilient physique.
The man eventually gave up on the idea and instead bowed deeply to the group.
"Fellow Daoists, to be honest, I have some special methods that give me an extraordinary sensitivity to treasures."
The two demons were ancient monsters who had lived for over a thousand years.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood his meaning and looked down at the meteorite cluster beneath their feet.
"You mean there's treasure hidden within these meteorite clusters?"
But even they themselves weren't entirely sure about what they were saying.
The two realized something was wrong when they sensed his intention to land there, and each sensed the area.
Strangely, they didn't notice anything unusual, so they didn't think much of it.
The man nodded and said with difficulty.
"If I'm not mistaken, there's a high chance that demon-suppressing grass is growing inside this meteorite cluster."
Upon hearing the name "Demon-Suppressing Grass," the two demons' pupils constricted, and their breathing became rapid.
"What did you say? I'm warning you, this is not something you can joke about."
The Demon-Suppressing Grass is a divine medicine that every demon clan dreams of obtaining.
As its name suggests, the Demon-Suppressing Grass is a rare and precious natural treasure, and it is also used to suppress demons.
Once a cultivator refines the demon-suppressing grass, they will then consume it.
The spiritual power they wield will have the effect of suppressing evil spirits.
The benefits of fighting against the demon race are self-evident.
The older the demon-suppressing herb is, the stronger its ability to suppress demons.
A demon-suppressing herb less than a thousand years old is enough to increase the combat power of an ordinary cultivator by about 30% when fighting against demons.
The effects of the demon-suppressing herb, which is over a thousand years old, are even more miraculous.
It is no exaggeration to say that if anyone could retrieve the Demon-Suppressing Grass that had been heated for over a thousand years...
That would be enough to make cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of the Void Refinement realm risk their lives for him.
A greedy glint appeared in the eyes of the two demons.
The Demon-Suppressing Grass can suppress demons, or it can help them!
If the demon race obtains the Demon-Suppressing Grass and then consumes it...
That would allow one's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds; it's a rare and highly nourishing substance!
The man noticed that the two men's expressions were off, and silently made a hand seal with his right hand.
It was a statement that seemed both a reminder and a threat.
"As you two fellow Daoists know, my combat strength among those of the same realm is nothing special."
But when it comes to the ability to escape and save one's life, I'm afraid few can defeat me.
He couldn't defeat both demons, and he couldn't even win in a one-on-one fight.
But if he wanted to leave, neither of these two demon cultivators could stop him.
The two demons' expressions shifted, and for a moment they seemed unsure of what to do.
However, after a brief silence, they forced out an awkward smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. Since you have told us where the treasure is hidden, why would we harm you like this?"
Besides not being confident of defeating the opponent, there is another very important reason.
That is the Demon-Suppressing Grass, a medicinal herb that is prone to reversal when things reach their extremes.
It was meant to suppress evil spirits, yet it grows in places where demonic energy is abundant.
Moreover, the Demon-Suppressing Grass grows in extremely special areas and is extremely adept at concealing its form, making it impossible for ordinary demons to detect it.
Therefore, even if they knew that the Demon-Suppressing Grass was within the meteorite cluster, they couldn't find where it was hiding.
This meteorite cluster covers an area of no less than 10,000 square kilometers.
With their cultivation level alone, it would take them forever to find even a small demon-suppressing herb here.
The middle-aged cultivator remained vigilant, seemingly believing the two demons' words.
"That would be perfect. Based on my senses, there are at least three or more demon-suppressing herbs in this area."
"At that time, the two fellow cultivators will take the lion's share; I only need to receive one or two demon-suppressing herbs!"
Seeing that he was somewhat sensible, the two demons lost their desire to kill him completely.
Since we're not confident we can kill the other party to avoid leaks, peaceful coexistence and dividing the treasure equally is a good option.
It's better than a protracted and endless conflict that ends in nothing.
"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist, to find the hiding place of the Demon-Suppressing Grass."
The middle-aged cultivator smiled and nodded, releasing his divine sense to prevent the two demons from launching a sneak attack on him.
When the enemy is strong and we are weak, it's always good to be on guard.
Dividing the treasure equally is certainly better than getting nothing at all.
But if they could kill him and then take the treasure for themselves, the two demons would surely seize the opportunity to strike.
The two demons couldn't tell what kind of magic he had used.
Beside the middle-aged cultivator, a small, dark-colored beast appeared.
The little beast looked quite similar to a mouse, but it was much larger and had a round, plump body.
As soon as the little beast was released, it sniffed around and then ran straight to the north.
It doesn't run fast and is greatly suppressed in the Starry Sea.
The middle-aged cultivator was not in a hurry and quietly followed behind the little beast.
The two demons couldn't gauge his strength, nor did they know what he was thinking!
Right now, we still need this person to find the hiding place of the Demon-Suppressing Grass, so we shouldn't ask too many questions.
