Today it was the turn of the Queen of the Night to guard the Qilin egg. She encountered Song Luo on the way and lingered for a while.
"Kid, open your mouth."
"What?" Song Luo asked instinctively, and something was immediately flicked into her mouth.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
"It won't do you any harm, just keep practicing."
After Ba Wang Hua finished speaking, she left. Song Luo felt her dantian and meridians begin to heat up, so she immediately sat cross-legged to meditate.
The spiritual energy flowed along the meridians, and the damaged meridians were slowly repaired, becoming even stronger than before.
Song Luo dared not waste a single bit. What he didn't know was that the cultivation method of the Overlord Flower was very domineering, but the seedlings were very weak. Therefore, over thousands of years, it had developed its own method of nourishing the body, which was very similar to his current cultivation.
That's how the demon race is; they can appreciate or dislike things very casually. Since they've accepted Song Luo, they're generous with their guidance.
After a while, the Wolf King took over, bringing his son Wu Xing with him. Ostensibly, he was there to instruct Wu Xing, but if Song Luo made a mistake, he would demonstrate it again.
Unbeknownst to him, under the guidance of the demon kings of various races, Song Luo had mastered many techniques. Although his cultivation progress was not particularly fast, his attack methods were used very flexibly. When Bai Hu was instructing him, sometimes he could even injure Bai Hu by simply comparing skills.
"That's right, your mother will be very happy when she wakes up."
Song Luo bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
"No need for that. I just hope you can remember that your home is in Sunset Forest."
"This junior understands." Song Luo had never felt such a sense of belonging as he did now. He even deeply disliked his partner's human bloodline. He would forever remember everything he had experienced in the Tianyuan Sect and use it as motivation to move forward.
The demon race, who were seen as nothing but killing and cold-bloodedness by humans, gave him the warmest affection. They not only did not discriminate against him, but also taught him with their hearts.
Song Luo vowed that he would never allow the human race to disrupt the peace and tranquility of Sunset Forest.
"Awoo!" When the wolf cub got tired of cultivating, it would lean against Song Luo's leg to rest. Occasionally, it would run out and bring him some wild rabbits and pheasants that had not yet developed spiritual consciousness so that he could roast them. Then the two of them would enjoy the meal.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. In fact, Song Xia woke up once during this time, but was persuaded by Baihu not to go see Song Luo.
"He's doing well now and has found the right cultivation method. What you need to do now is recover as soon as possible. Our demon race will inevitably have a great war with humans. Aren't you worried if Song Luo faces that Sword Master in the future?"
It's impossible not to worry. Qin Taiming's title as the number one swordsman wasn't something he just boasted about. No matter how fast Song Luo improves, he won't be a match for Qin Taiming in the short term, not to mention Qin Xiuyang is also there.
Song Xia knew how talented and lucky Qin Xiuyang was. If she hadn't come, even the little Qilin would have been recognized as Qin Xiuyang's master when he accidentally entered the Sunset Forest, and in the future, the inheritance of the Qingyang Immortal would have been fully inherited by Qin Xiuyang.
Qin Xiuyang is probably already at the Nascent Soul stage by now!
That's terrifying. Keep in mind that he's only twenty years old. For ordinary cultivators, at this age, they're at most at the Golden Core stage, a small number of talented ones can reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and most can't even break through to the Qi Refining stage.
His son, Song Luo, had tried countless methods and suffered countless hardships before, but he only managed to stay at the Qi Refining stage. Now that he has found the correct cultivation method, he has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Don't be fooled by the mere two-level difference. Every step forward in cultivation is extremely difficult. The higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to advance further. Throughout history, countless cultivators on the Qingyang Continent have been stuck at the Golden Core stage, unable to reach the Nascent Soul stage until their deaths. But this obstacle seems to be nonexistent for Qin Xiuyang.
Although her appearance has changed many things, Qin Xiuyang's fortune has not been greatly affected.
"Brother Bai, we absolutely cannot let humans know of his existence before the little Qilin grows up."
"Don't worry about that. We are already making preparations and will never allow the Qilin and the demon race to end up like they did before."
"Perhaps we can also place our own people among the humans."
"What did you say? Humans and demons have been at odds since ancient times. They have their own way of identifying us demons. How can we plant our own people?"
"But humans are greedy. Sometimes they will do anything for cultivation resources. Brother Bai, do you believe me? I have a plan that I would like to discuss with you all."
"What exactly is your plan? Old Bai is actually listening to you so much." Before long, Bai Xiao summoned several idle demon kings to the tomb to hear Song Xia's advice.
"I want to use the resources in the forest to open a trading post in a human city."
"Isn't it just making things easier for humanity by giving us resources?"
"Seriously, what kind of lousy plan is this?"
Song Xia took a deep breath. These demon clan compatriots were just too impatient and thought too simply.
"Listen to me slowly. The resources in the forest I'm talking about aren't the most important ones, but rather some that we don't need but that are useful to humans. With the quantity in the forest, I believe we can soon control the market for a certain resource. Through that, we can slowly infiltrate other aspects of their cultivation resources. If there's a war someday and we blockade the resources, do you think it will affect their actions?"
After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Ba Wang Hua patted her on the shoulder: "No wonder the little Qilin likes you so much. Among the demons, you are the smartest."
Song Xia smiled awkwardly. This method wasn't clever at all. It wasn't that she was smart; it was just that these people were too simple-minded.
She has never admitted defeat in business, especially with the resource-rich Sunset Forest behind her and no fear of being betrayed by her partners. It would be a waste of her business talent if she didn't stir up trouble among the humans.
The Sword Master is incredibly powerful and revered by everyone, but being the heir to the richest man in the world doesn't seem so bad either.
Song Xia made up her mind. Whether it was for the future safety of Sunset Forest, for her son's future status, or for her own better life after the crisis was over, she was going to fight for it.
Nowadays, most cultivators look down on businessmen, feeling that they waste too much time on worldly affairs and that they are too worldly and destined not to attain the Great Dao.
But cultivators don't seem to realize that without these people maintaining the operation of the Qingyang Continent, would they be able to obtain as many cultivation resources as they do now?
Every profession has its own logic. Some achieve enlightenment through literature, some through martial arts, and some even ascend to heaven after painting a single picture. There's no reason why they can't succeed in business! If you do business well, you'll become a god of wealth!
