It charged wildly all the way to the front of the Ink Studio, and the demon-faced beast roared arrogantly, "Awooo!"
"Master is back! Hurry up and welcome him, bring him some delicious food!"
Shang Xiye and Wuying and the others came out after hearing the noise, but no one paid any attention to Ghost Face.
The group walked straight to Black Owl's side.
Shang Xiye glanced at the empty space behind Hei Xiao and asked, "Why are you the only one who came back? Where are Marquis Anping and Fengming?"
“They’ve reached the North Gate and are coming this way.” Black Owl stepped forward, grabbed Shang Xiye’s arm, and whispered, “Xiao Jiu, take me to see Xiao Yao’er quickly.”
Shang Xiye: "???"
Why does he want to see his wife as soon as he gets back?
"I have something I can't explain in a few words. I'll tell you when I see Xiao Yao'er." Hei Xiao was both annoyed and amused by the unusual look on Shang Xiye's face.
Shang Xiye's expression turned serious, and he looked up to instruct the people below: "Take the Ghost Mask away and take good care of him."
"Yes, Your Highness!" the guard replied.
After that, Shang Xiye led Hei Xiao and Wuying to Hui Nuan Pavilion.
Ghost Face, who had run back excitedly, ready to boast of his achievements: "..."
Holy crap!
This unscrupulous master, a simple "take good care of him," and that's it?!
Hey! You didn't even touch me!
When Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao arrived, Ji Fengyao had just finished processing the medicinal herbs in the dark room, and had just taken a bath and changed clothes. Lin Shuang was wringing her long, wet hair for her.
Seeing Hei Xiao return, Ji Fengyao, forgetting her half-dry hair, happily stood up to greet him: "Brother Xiao Chen..."
Seeing Hei Xiao's slightly ashen face, Ji Fengyao's joyful expression froze, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Brother Xiao Chen, your spiritual power?"
"I sealed it myself. There's something in my dantian." This time, Hei Xiao didn't shy away from telling Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye in detail about how he had been implanted with a demonic seed and was almost controlled by it.
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao both noticed the change in Hei Xiao:
This trip to Northwest China made him less withdrawn than before, and his attitude towards life and his enthusiasm for life became much more positive.
But what Black Owl said weighed heavily on their minds.
Just as Hei Xiao finished speaking, Ji Chenhai and his son Ji Fengming arrived.
Seeing that Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye both had very serious expressions, Ji Fengming asked anxiously before even sitting down, "Sister, can you solve Xiao Chen's problem?"
Ji Fengyao's gaze swept across everyone's face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Is it very difficult?" Shang Xiye gently squeezed Ji Fengyao's hand to encourage her, while he himself was also very nervous.
Ji Fengyao shook her head: "If the demonic seed on Xiao Chen is the same as what I think, then this is not just a thorny issue."
"What exactly is a Demon Seed?" Ji Fengming's question was also the question on everyone's mind at that moment.
Black Owl had a vague feeling that he knew what it was, but he just couldn't explain it.
Ji Fengyao turned and glanced at Shang Xiye before saying, "The old immortal in my dream once told me that in the world of cultivators, there are cultivators of immortality and cultivators of demons."
Immortal cultivators cultivate the Golden Core and Nascent Soul, while demon cultivators cultivate the Demon Seed and Demonic Infant.
Unlike cultivators who cultivate their own unique Golden Core, demon cultivators can have many Demon Seeds, which can each reside in the dantian of different cultivators and strengthen themselves by absorbing the cultivation power of other cultivators.
Once the demonic seed has grown to a certain stage, the demonic cultivator will reclaim it, causing the host to suffer the loss of spiritual roots and die from blood depletion.
