Chapter 2, Bird Feathers

The forehead is smooth and rounded, adorned with fine white hairs; the tip of the nose protrudes, revealing a pink nose; the cheeks are sharp and slender, as if the jawbone has been sculpted away.

Manager Lu, have you been waiting long? Has Quan Di told you everything?

After a few breaths, Lu Tong let out a long sigh and collapsed onto the bed

However, the bird's nature is greedy and stingy, making it difficult to persuade it to stop

Lu Tong felt that it sounded somewhat familiar, and after thinking carefully, his expression suddenly turned very unpleasant

This is very good

However, Lu Tong has crossed over from another world

Calculate the result

The predecessor had a pair of hooves, resulting in a lack of the lower part of the meridians below the knees, making the practice twice as difficult with half the effort

In the memories left by his predecessor, he had a very close half-demon companion who was a traveling merchant

The only congenital defect consists of two hooves, which are difficult to stand on but can be compensated for with a cane

After the collapse of the primordial spirit, the perfected magical power cultivated in the dantian instantly dissipated, leaving only a trace of magical power still lingering within the flesh and blood

There is a room for storing medicinal materials, but there is no medicinal garden, nor any special formations for preserving rare herbs

The combination of the disadvantages of both results in Da Han having a low intelligence quotient, and although he possesses a strong physique, in reality, his strength is inferior to that of an average adult

The bird's feathers were somewhat excited, and the feathers on its tail fluffed up.

Whether it is the cultivation techniques of practitioners or the totems of demonic beasts, refining spiritual energy is always a case of achieving twice the result with half the effort

In the quiet room, only the heavy breathing of Da Han could be heard

After the meridians are fully formed, small luminous colored dots begin to appear around them

Lu Tong nodded and said, "Almost, but he did not say that you are a half-demon"

It seems that Ku Meiqin is not after the Wang family's estate, but rather has taken a liking to Wang Cheng himself

The sky has not yet brightened significantly, but there are already many figures on the street

Born of humble origins, he relied on dark arts to fortuitously amass a modest fortune. However, without the guidance of a master, his foundation in cultivation is quite poor

Is the bitter herbalist Ku Meiqin here

Further down is the massive body of the gray crane, with many feathers having fallen off, revealing large patches of purplish muscle.

In contrast, Lu Tong is quite fortunate

Lu Tong had just arrived in this world, and the first scene he saw upon opening his eyes was a gigantic monster with a human body and a pig's head crouching under the bed, nearly scaring him to death

Although there were many whiskers on her face, Lu Tong could still see from her wide-open eyes and trembling antennae that she was not at peace in her heart

Lu Tong sensed an increase in the magical power within his dantian and pulled out a cloth pouch shaped like a carp from his sleeve

Storage sleeve pouch, a storage artifact left by the front body

It is not just a description of a small face, but a true fox-like face

The woman turned around, revealing a fox-like face

Do you need to buy medicinal soup? What symptoms do you have

After accepting the memories left by my predecessor, seeing the big fool lying beside me instead felt very familiar

Lu Tong stood frozen in place

This pharmacy is somewhat rudimentary, with only a large cauldron for boiling medicinal soup and no alchemical furnace, indicating that Ku Meiqin does not practice alchemy

Channel the magical power and infuse it into the storage sleeve.

Lu Tong quickly changed the subject and said: "Those matters are all in the past. I came today to ask you. Wang Cheng said he is willing to leave Malanfang with you and rent a place outside. Are you willing to?"

... ...

After a few breaths, he still had his eyes closed, but he "saw" a translucent white figure sitting cross-legged in the boundless dark world, surrounded by scattered white fragments

After a moment, Ku Meiqin shook her head and said, "Wang Cheng's experience is too limited; he does not understand how difficult life outside is. Leaving Malanfang to live in the outside world is not as easy as he thinks"

The two hybrids of the pig demon and the cultivator, with the bloodline of the pig demon prevailing, yet passing down the foolishness of a pig's brain, while the bloodline of the cultivator is suppressed, leaving only a weak and frail body

There is a stone house in the backyard of the teahouse

Only half-demons are inherently flawed

Later, the hoof specifically opened a tea house to select fat sheep, while the bird's feathers pretended to be itinerant merchants, wandering through the streets and alleys in search of opportunities to strike.

Demon Transformation Spell

Quickly, Ku Meiqin covered the pot with its lid and sealed the fire.

... ...

Lu Tong pretended to select items from the cargo, casually responding: "It's alright, the family is in business, but the cultivation is not high. However, he is very strong and has abundant vitality."

A translucent figure opens its mouth, rhythmically inhaling and exhaling. Before long, a network of meridians appears within the figure.

In front of an ordinary household, a bundle of white cane orchids is hanging, serving as the sign for the pharmacy

Lu Tong had no choice but to start his cultivation anew, gradually accumulating his magical power

In fact, Lu Tong had already devised a solution long ago

Lu Tong was completely unaware of this kind of spell

Then all issues are no longer issues

On the second day, the morning light began to emerge

Inside the Ma Lan Fang

As long as it helps Ku Meiqin, to be precise, it is Ku Meiqin's pharmacy, to find a way to make money

Two half-demons grew up together since childhood, and later, by chance, they acquired a sinister spell that could take lives without anyone noticing.

As the magical power gradually flowed in, he distinctly felt a fish-shaped space of one zhang in length within his sleeve pouch

Lu Tong handed the teahouse over to Da Han and, leaning on the cane sent by the nearby blacksmith shop, walked towards Ma Lan Fang

Lu Tong walked directly through the door, where a strong aroma of medicine filled the air

Engaging in acts of murder and robbery should not be done excessively

Da Han is also a half-demon, raised since childhood by his predecessor

Moreover, Ku Meiqin is an outsider, lacking the care of relatives and friends, and her social standing does not match that of the local residents

This half-demon has a head the size of a gourd, with a slender neck measuring two feet in length beneath it

Niao Mao raised an eyebrow at Lu Tong, his small eyes glancing sideways at the nearby alley.

Lu Tong closed his eyes and sat still, concentrating his attention at the point between his eyebrows

The neck is completely bare without a single feather, resembling a human neck that has been elongated directly

Please wait for my message

The master's method of cultivating the soul involves the operation of Qi Gong to refine spiritual energy into magical power; while the demon beasts construct totems using flesh and blood to absorb spiritual energy as demonic power

The room is not large, and it contains a bed, a wardrobe, a table, and a chair

Opening my eyes, it is already dark outside, and the room is also pitch black.

The light points enter the meridians with the flow, and after circulating for several cycles, they disappear at the dantian location

He only stopped his practice when his forehead began to swell

Ku Meiqin is currently seeking assistance from Lu Tong, and without holding anything back, she earnestly explained: "It is a spell of the Zong family. Demonic beasts are born with bloodline abilities, and the transformation spell can seize the abilities of the demonic beasts"

Practicing the same technique, his cultivation speed is more than twice as fast as that of his predecessor

She then explained, "My late husband once served the disciples of the Yi family, and it was he who requested this spell for me."

Ku Meiqin immediately threw the herbs in her hand into the cauldron and welcomed at the door, "Manager Lu, please come in and have a seat. The medicine in this cauldron will be ready shortly."

Lu Tong sat on the bench under the eaves, surveying his surroundings

Lu Tong asked again, "Then he left the Wang family to run the pharmacy with you?"

With a fortune acquired through unscrupulous means, Ti Zi, at the age of twenty-five, has achieved the perfection of the Qi Refinement stage

Entering the Spirit World, Lu Tong began to practice the technique "Six Qi Method of Spirit Nourishment"

This is the third time practicing the technique, and Lu Tong observes the speed at which the light spots appear while cultivating.

The physical forms of half-demons are varied and peculiar, and their souls are equally strange and unusual

This is the hand drum played by itinerant merchants as they walk through the streets and alleys

I am.

The Wang family looks down on Ku Meiqin, merely because they disdain her for having been married before

Starting from the dantian, first communicate with the head, then spread throughout the torso, and finally extend to the hands and feet

Yesterday, Wang Cheng spoke at length about how gentle and kind Ku Meiqin is, yet he did not mention that she is a half-demon

His spirit still retains a human form, and after practicing the "Six Qi Method of Spirit Cultivation," he can generate complete meridians, unleashing the true power of the technique

Ku Meiqin's round, glistening fox eyes narrowed as she smiled and said, "Manager Lu has misunderstood; I have practiced the art of transforming demons. This is the mouth and nose of the采蕊灵狐, which can discern the properties of medicinal herbs"

Kumei Qin did not respond immediately

Not far from the teahouse, a sound of "thud, thud" came from behind.

After the duration of an incense stick, he finally reached a conclusion

Go to sleep first

Speaking of her deceased husband, Ku Meiqin's emotions were somewhat subdued

As I walked into the alley, the bird flapped its wings a couple of times to lighten its load and shrieked, "Tui Zi, what have you been doing these past few days? It's been almost half a month, and you still haven't chosen a fat sheep!"

Lu Tong observed for a while and gained a general understanding of Ku Meiqin's skills in medicine preparation and her family assets

It is still possible to stop now, as long as the bird feather agrees.

A woman stands in the center of the yard, stirring the medicinal ingredients in the cauldron with a brass rod, appearing somewhat strained

However, his congenital defect is quite severe

Half-demons rarely have decent names

Half-demon, bird feather

neither poor nor rich, far inferior to the vegetable-selling Wang Cheng and his son

Lu Tong understood its meaning and beckoned with his hand as he walked towards the alley

I have already told him that although this pharmacy does not make a lot of money, it is sufficient to get by. However, he just cannot let go of his family.

It is indeed it

Moist droplets emerged from the pink tip of the nose

Even if this matter is accomplished a hundred times, as long as it fails once, all previous efforts will be completely in vain

Which family, what kind of cultivation, is there wealth at home

Lu Tongpan sat on the bed with his hooves crossed

However, these things are powerless in the face of money

Hooves and bird feathers are both discarded half-demons

Hurry up and take action. If we complete two more jobs, we will have enough money to purchase the foundational cultivation technique. At that time, we can enter seclusion together

Lu Tong pondered alone for a long time, and finally stamped his hoof with determination, walking towards the newly risen sun

Ordinary people selling breakfast, monks patrolling the city, demon beasts pulling carts and carrying burdens, half-demons begging for alms

I am Lu Tong, the owner of the Good Demon Teahouse. Yesterday, Wang Cheng came to see me

Inside there are magical artifacts and silver, but unfortunately, Lu Tong cannot open it

Thinking of the sinister dealings involving hooves and bird feathers, Lu Tong felt extremely anxious and forced himself to remain calm, saying: "What’s the rush, it will be decided soon."

Da Han is lying on the floor in front of the bed, soundly asleep

Not in a hurry

Lu Tong turned back to look at the past, and a few steps behind him, there closely followed a half-demon peddler with a crane-like neck carrying a load on his shoulders

Cannot open

Hoof, a term for the forepart of the body

Lu Tong stood in the dim alley, a multitude of thoughts surging within him

The bird feathers picked up the burden and departed
