Hu Le rode his donkey leisurely through the various parts of Tang Kingdom, enjoying the scenery along the way.
On this day, he came to the bank of a large river.
The river is turbulent and vast, appearing as a misty expanse. Sunlight shines on the river surface, causing the water to ripple and shimmer with golden light.
Hu Le had just arrived at the riverbank when he looked around and realized there was no dock. So he swam downstream along the riverbank.
However, before they had gone half a mile, a sudden splash erupted in the middle of the river, followed by a thick, long white snake leaping out of the water and lunging at Hu Le on the bank.
Seeing the giant snake approaching menacingly, Hu Le quickly leaped up and dodged it.
The giant white snake continued its advance, opening its blood-red maw to bite the blue donkey.
Little did they know that the blue donkey, having been nourished by Hu Le's magical power these past few days, had already undergone a complete transformation and was no longer an ordinary animal.
Upon seeing the giant snake approaching, it immediately let out a strange cry in fright, but at the same time it leaped up and raised its hind legs to kick the white giant snake hard.
With a loud bang, the kick carried more than a thousand pounds of force.
The giant snake immediately let out a whimper and fell from mid-air.
"Awoo!"
Seeing this, the donkey let out a triumphant bray and galloped off to Hu Le's side.
The giant snake crashed heavily to the ground, rolled several times, and then raised its head again.
At this moment, it was both ashamed and angry.
It should be noted that although it has not yet taken human form, it has already cultivated for three hundred years. Now, it has been kicked to the ground by a donkey, which is a disgrace to the demon race.
It doubted whether it had misread the image.
This green donkey is a powerful demon whose cultivation and spiritual attainment surpass its own.
But no matter how I look at it, there's absolutely no demonic aura about this donkey...
It also holds grudges; if it has just lost face, it will always try to get it back.
It raised its head, which was the size of a water vat, and took a deep breath towards where Hu Le and the blue donkey were.
Suddenly, a strange wind rose out of nowhere, and sand and stones flew everywhere. Several old willows on the bank were instantly uprooted and thrown into the giant snake's mouth by the strange wind.
The donkey, unable to withstand the pressure, brayed and lunged towards the gaping maw.
A strange wind swirled around him, and Hu Le's figure seemed about to fly off the ground. Fortunately, he had also cultivated some protective supernatural abilities during this time.
A flash of immortal light enveloped him, and a wisp of dark yellow mist protected him, isolating him from the swirling gale.
At the same time, he raised his left hand and pushed it forward flatly. A bolt of lightning shot out from his palm and instantly disappeared into the giant snake's gaping maw.
With a loud bang.
Divine thunder exploded in the giant serpent's mouth.
It let out a mournful cry, and half of its head exploded into pieces.
The strange winds that had been swirling between heaven and earth, no longer controlled by the giant serpent, immediately subsided and quickly dissipated into nothingness, and the world returned to its clear state.
The green donkey, which had been wrapped in the strange wind, was now free and fell to the ground with a thud from several feet in the air.
If an ordinary donkey fell from such a height, it would probably be turned into a pile of minced meat by now.
But this green donkey was no ordinary creature. After being cleansed and its fur purified by Hu Le's magic, its skin, flesh, and bones had become incredibly hard.
After falling to the ground and creating a large crater, it simply rolled over and climbed out of the crater.
Hu Le then arrived at the giant snake and saw that it had become a dead creature. He immediately circled the snake's body, and then, after finding a spot, he used his bamboo staff to make a cut under the snake's belly.
With a hiss, the giant snake's tough flesh was torn apart.
The next instant, a round object the size of a thumb rolled out of the wound.
Although this thing had rolled around in flesh and blood, it was still extremely clean, with not a trace of blood on its surface.
Its appearance resembled a golden elixir, its entire body surrounded by wisps of primordial energy, but its interior was a chaotic mess, indistinct and unclear.
In fact, this item was a primordial core that this demon had refined over three hundred years of cultivation.
All its magical power was contained within its Yuan Dan.
At this moment, the green donkey seemed to have caught a whiff of something and came running over, its eyes fixed on the Yuan Dan with a look of longing.
Although it has not yet become a demon, its instincts as a living being fill it with longing, as if swallowing this pill would surely bring it immense benefits.
Unable to resist the temptation, it poked its head out without Hu Le's permission, swiftly approached the Yuan Dan, and with a flick of its long tongue, swallowed the Yuan Dan.
After being swallowed, the Yuan Dan immediately dissolved, and streams of powerful Yuan Qi burst forth within its body.
"Awoo!"
The donkey let out a miserable cry, feeling as if it were being cut by knives all over its body, and immediately began to roll on the ground in pain.
Seeing this, Hu Le took a few steps back and laughed, scolding, "You fool, who told you to be so impatient? You deserve to suffer!"
In fact, if the donkey could resist the temptation and allow him to keep the Yuan Dan, he could open the alchemy furnace later, put the Yuan Dan into it, add a few herbs, and refine it into a pot of Golden Elixir.
At that time, not only will the primordial energy within the elixir be fully preserved, but it will also give rise to other wondrous uses.
At the very least, the primordial energy within this golden elixir is gentle, so the donkey won't have to suffer such pain after swallowing it...
The donkey rolled and howled on the ground for a while, and the violent energy within its body gradually calmed down, beginning to seep into its bloodline in wisps.
It made it feel incredibly comfortable again in an instant.
Hu Le stepped forward, tapped the creature with his bamboo staff, and transferred a stream of magical power to it, helping it to quickly integrate its vital energy into its bloodline.
After about half an hour, it finally completely digested the Yuan Dan.
It immediately got up from the ground, shook itself to shake off the dust, and its fur became sleek and shiny than before.
With the help of the Yuan Dan, not only did its bloodline change, but its intelligence also increased.
At this moment, it slightly bent its four hooves and bowed to Hu Le.
Hu Le tapped its head with his bamboo cane and laughed, "This demon has accumulated three hundred years of good fortune, and you've swallowed it whole today. You've really gotten off easy!"
If this pill falls into the hands of those cultivators, they can refine it into a golden pill or use it to craft magical artifacts.
It's just that Hu Le didn't like it, which is why this blue donkey got it...
Hu Le glanced at the giant snake's corpse, raised his hand and pointed, a spark of Samadhi True Fire shot out from his fingertip and landed on the corpse.
With a loud bang.
A ball of flame rose from the corpse, and in just over ten breaths, the dozens of feet long demon corpse was burned to ashes by the real fire.
As for Hu Le, he had already mounted his donkey and embarked on his journey once again.
As the man and his donkey rode away in the gentle breeze, their figures disappeared into the green hills and clear waters.
The Crimson Staff Immortal suddenly floated down from the sky, stood beside the ashes of the demon corpse, and took a deep breath.
"Bah! I thought you little demon could cause some trouble for that junior, but I didn't expect you to be so useless..."
