"This technique is quite rare!"
After browsing through the contents in detail, Zhao Meng discovered this Paternal Bloodline Pressure Technique, while it was written in demonic language, its usage was not limited to the demons.
Even humans could use this technique.
However, compared to the demons who were more clueless in self-awareness, there was a limit to what this spell could do to a human.
"Unfortunately, it's useless!"
Zhao Meng kept the animal-skin scroll in his pocket.
Then, he looked at the other animal-skin pouch.
He picked up the animal-skin pouch and took a look. He realized that it was mostly gold inside. Other than gold, there were also some gems.
"Strange, what kind of gems are these?"
Zhao Meng reached out and took out a green gem from his animal-skin pouch.
The gemstone was translucent, and in its center, some kind of liquid could be vaguely seen sloshing around.
"Wait, this is a demonic stone!"
Looking at this strange stone, some memories of his predecessor surfaced.
Through the memories of his predecessor, Zhao Meng learned that this was a currency popular in the demonic realm.
As for its value, the predecessor was not very clear.
"This fox is interesting. Did it give me all its valuables? But what's the use of this demonic stone to a human like me?"
Just as Zhao Meng was muttering to himself, the demonic stone in his hand suddenly changed.
The strange liquid in the middle of the demonic stone slowly disappeared.
Then, Zhao Meng felt an inexplicable aura travel along his arm and rush to the top of his head.
Sensing the appearance of this aura, Zhao Meng was shocked.
Just when he thought that he had encountered something dangerous, the expression on his face changed from shock to surprise.
"This demonic stone can actually speed up the condensation of the phantom!
"In other words, this demonic stone can make the simulation cycle shorter!"
Zhao Meng observed how condensed the phantom was.
Not long after, the phantom's condensation began to slow down, and the acceleration effect brought by the demonic stone disappeared.
Compared to the previous condensation process, Zhao Meng silently estimated.
A demonic stone shortened the cooldown period by at least ten days.
"If I had eight more of these demonic stones, I would be able to start the next simulation immediately!"
Zhao Meng came back to his senses.
Looking at the demonic stone in his hand, he noticed that the green demonic stone in his hand had already turned to dust.
He searched the animal-skin pouch left behind by the mixed-fur fox and realized that there was only one demon stone in the animal-skin pouch.
"That's it!"
Zhao Meng muttered.
He also found a few unknown gems in the animal-skin pouch.
After taking turns to experiment, he found that those were just ordinary gems. They did not have the same strange effects as the demonic stone.
"I don't know where I can get this stone!
"Where is the mixed-fur fox?"
Zhao Meng suddenly thought of Qing Xuan.
With his current status, he would probably bring misfortune to himself if he frequently interacted with the demons.
"Forget it! I'll leave it to fate!
"I can still wait for two months and 20 days!"
…
At this moment, in another valley not far from Zhao Meng, a green light landed in front of an ancient Taoist temple.
When the green light dissipated, the figure that appeared was Taoist Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan was about to enter the temple when he noticed a group of people waiting for something.
Qing Xuan looked around.
He realized that the people who came were all servants and guards. Seeing this, he understood something.
"I think we have guests!"
When the guards at the door saw Qing Xuan, some of them seemed to recognize him and did not stop him.
They bowed and watched Qing Xuan enter the Taoist temple.
After Qing Xuan entered, the guards at the door discussed in low voices.
"He is Serene Immortal Qing Xuan!"
"It should be him!"
"I heard the 17th Prince is under his watch."
"Based on this Exalted Immortal's attitude towards the demons, that prince probably won't have an easy time!"
"That's right! I heard that this Exalted Immortal built a dilapidated straw hut for the prince halfway up the mountain. That prince is really desperate!"
"Shut up!"
"This is not something we can discuss!"
A person who looked like an officer interrupted the guards' discussion.
"At least don't gossip here!"
The officer glanced at the open door.
The scene inside was unobstructed.
Emerald stone and white jade were enveloped by incense. A majestic hall could be vaguely seen with cranes dancing in front of it.
It looked like an immortal land, but it gave people a chill down their spines.
The other guards followed the officer's gaze and looked at the Taoist temple.
Everyone seemed to have recalled a rumor. For a moment, everyone was silent.
After some time, two figures walked out of the Taoist temple.
One of them was wearing a Taoist robe, and the other was wearing the official uniform of Zhao.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries in front of the Taoist temple before parting ways.
"Lord Wu!" A guard hurriedly went up to welcome the official when he saw him.
"Yes! Prepare the mounts. We'll set off back to the capital immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Taoist in front of the Taoist temple, seeing the official leave in haste, shook his head silently.
"Is our Demon Subduing Temple that terrifying?"
With that, he returned to the Taoist temple.
And the normal scenes that originally appeared, dissipated immediately as the Taoist entered.
There seemed to be something in the Taoist temple that blocked the sun, turning it dark.
And in this dark environment, there was a large number of saber and sword weapons stuck in the ground.
These weapons were engraved as if they were offering sacrifices to something.
As the Taoist entered the saber and sword array, an invisible aura enveloped him.
The Taoist seemed to have adapted to the auras and walked straight into a hall. As soon as he entered, he heard discussions.
"Master, why are you absolving the Prince of Zhao?"
"I have my own plans for this!"
"Qing Xuan, why did the fox want to see the prince?"
"It's like this…"
"I see. That fox has a seal on it and can't attack humans."
"This Prince of Zhao is quite bold. He actually discovered this and extorted it!"
"But Master, I don't think it's that simple!"
"Forget it! There's no need to investigate this matter."
"But Master…"
"Qing Xuan, we need to monitor the Prince of Zhao!"
"Yes!"
…
Zhao Meng did not know what had happened in the other valley.
At this moment, he was trying to open up a new field.
After half a year, he had almost adapted to life in this world.
In his previous life, he had spent most of his time guarding Empress Nuwa's palace.
As a 5A scenic area built in the forest, the environment there was not much different from here.
The only thing that Zhao Meng could not adapt to was that this world did not have phones or the Internet. This made him lack the necessary means of entertainment.
"It's a pity that I haven't found a way to protect myself yet, nor have I found a way to cultivate. Otherwise, I can take a look at this world!
"After all, this is an alternate world. Moreover, it's an alternate world where humans and demons coexist. There might be some beast ladies with unique styles…"
Zhao Meng sighed silently.
"The hope now lies in the simulation system!
"But this simulation system's messages!"
Thinking of the two messages he had obtained today, Zhao Meng was a little helpless. He could not rely on such messages to explore this world.
