Li Dazhuang whispered to his friends.
"This demon is such a coward."
"Absolutely, they have no backbone at all."
"Didn't the ancient books record that the Demon City was extremely ferocious? Much more ferocious than monsters."
That's it?
"Could this be a fake demon?"
"The Great Sage and the others said that this is a high-level demon raising a demon, so it must be true."
"That means the ancient books recorded it incorrectly."
"It's possible that the person who wrote that ancient book had a low level of cultivation, which is why they thought the demons were so fierce and terrifying."
...
The demon keeper looked at the group of children with a mournful expression.
Could you please keep your voices down when you're whispering?
He heard everything.
What does it mean to be a fake demon?
He is a genuine, unadulterated demon keeper.
Also, what does it mean to be a coward?
That's what you call being a wise person who knows when to yield.
The little monkey's cultivation was unfathomable; he only felt a tremor in his heart but couldn't detect it at all.
And those old men, their cultivation levels are all higher than his.
The rest of the people were not as good as him.
But for some reason, he had a gut feeling.
Although those people couldn't beat him, he also seemed unable to kill them, and might even get into trouble.
So, given this situation, how should we fight?
Is it a group fight?
A group of people beat up the demon keeper.
Admitting defeat and surrendering is the only way out.
"What's in it for you?" Wukong glanced at the demon keeper and asked casually.
"Huh?" The demon keeper was taken aback, not understanding.
"If we spare you, what good will it do us?" Wukong asked slowly.
"I..." The demon keeper stammered.
"We can't just keep someone who does nothing," Wukong glanced at the demon keeper again and said, "In my opinion, we should just kill him."
“I have plenty of strength and I can work,” the demon keeper said hurriedly.
"We're all cultivators, why do we need to just use our physical strength to do the work?" Wukong scoffed.
"I... I know how to farm," the demon keeper said hurriedly.
"Having cultivated to our level, do we still need three meals a day?" Wukong twirled the golden cudgel in his hand: "He really is useless, let's just kill him."
"No, no..." Cold sweat instantly rolled down the demon keeper's forehead: "I, I can raise demons."
"Raising demons..." Wukong couldn't help but chuckle to himself, but his face remained composed: "What for? To let you harm innocent people?"
"No, no." The demon keeper hurriedly waved his hand, nervously swallowing a mouthful of saliva: "They can be used as labor."
"We can still go on adventures without worrying about injuries or fatalities."
"Moreover, I can control them and prevent them from eating people or disrupting the city's order."
The demon keeper's mind has never worked so fast.
He felt like his brain was about to burn out.
I kept seeing stars.
"It sounds alright," Wukong said slowly, stroking his chin.
"I... I can raise intermediate-level monsters after I advance in rank. The cores of intermediate-level monsters can be used in medicine," the monster keeper said hurriedly.
"Oh?" Wukong immediately became interested: "Then when can you raise it?"
"Well, well after the promotion," the demon keeper stammered.
"When will you be promoted?" Wukong asked again.
"Almost there," the demon keeper said. "After the demons I raise return from hunting, I can advance in rank by absorbing lower-level demons."
"Foraging for food..." Wukong's eyes immediately turned dangerous: "You mean, cannibalism?"
"No, no, no." The demon keeper waved his hand so fast that you could see afterimages.
"Eating some common animals and common flowers and plants is also fine, but the effect will not be as significant and will be slower."
"How many more do you need to absorb?" Yun Yue asked, stroking his bald head.
“About, about 100,000,” the demon keeper murmured.
"How many low-level monsters can you raise at a time? Are the only ones you can raise demonic frogs and demonic cicadas?" Wukong asked.
"You can also raise demonic pigs," the demon breeder said. "At most, you can raise a thousand demonic cicadas, five hundred demonic frogs, and one hundred demonic pigs at a time."
"What's your frequency this time..." Tang Qian asked.
“It can be raised once every seven days,” the demon keeper said.
“Your frequency is a bit low.” Niu Shanming frowned, not very satisfied with the result.
There are only a little over two hundred of them right now, and that frequency is still enough to feed them.
With several thousand people in the Star Moon Sect, plus the people from the Heavenly Origin Academy, there definitely wouldn't be enough food to go around here.
"Indeed." Everyone nodded, but they weren't very satisfied.
"Excuse me, may I ask a question?" the demon keeper stammered. "What do the masters need so many low-level demons for?"
“Isn’t this to give you a chance to live?” Niu Shanming snorted. “Just do as you say, use it as labor, use it for exploration, and so on.”
"Thank you so much, sir. I will do my best." The demon keeper wiped away his tears, somewhat moved.
“You really have to work hard,” Niu Hu Po said. “Don’t let our good intentions go to waste.”
"Yes." The demon keeper nodded repeatedly: "I still have about a hundred high-grade spirit stones. If I take five stones a day, I can shorten the seven days to five days."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up immediately.
Since the spiritual veins were upgraded before the new year, high-grade spirit stones are no longer a scarce commodity.
"Alright, I'll spare you for now," Wukong decided.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The demon keeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, his legs as weak as a curtain.
“But if you dare to slack off…” Wukong narrowed his eyes.
"No, no," the demon keeper hurriedly replied.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet my master." Wukong casually flicked his little paw, and a hemp rope tightly bound the demon tamer.
The demon keeper felt that his magical power was indeed being suppressed.
Just like an ordinary person.
My sense of awe grew stronger.
Bai Qingqing originally planned to come here with them.
Xiao Hao told her that the demon tamer was no match for Wukong, which is why she didn't go with him.
She is currently busy finishing "A Thousand Things".
Let's DIY together once.
Bai Qingqing chose to make water cups with Yun Zhan.
Because this thing is relatively simple.
The clay is readily available.
A bag was found inside the return gift pack.
At this moment, Bai Qingqing and Yun Zhan were chatting and laughing while playing with mud.
Wukong walked in from outside.
"Back so fast? How did it go? Did you catch him?" Bai Qingqing looked up at Wukong.
"Master, we've captured a demon tamer." Wukong immediately recounted the capture and subjugation process in detail.
"Well done," Bai Qingqing exclaimed. "Then let's keep it."
"Yes, Master." Wukong nodded.
"You just said that he can also raise demon pigs?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Mm." Wukong nodded again.
"Then let him raise some and see how they differ from ordinary domestic pigs," Bai Qingqing said, resting her chin on her hand as she habitually did.
