"Daoist, this demoness is extremely dangerous!"
A young man dressed in luxurious clothes spoke with a frightened expression. His looks were not handsome at all, with a pale face and sunken eyes covered with dark circles, indicating signs of depletion of energy.
"It's alright."
"Just a little effort from me, and I can find out the limits of that demoness."
Beside the young man was a Daoist priest. He had a well-proportioned figure, neither tall nor short, neither thin nor fat.
Even with his robe on, it couldn't hide his strong physique. His handsome face had a hint of wickedness and there is an ominous glint in his grey eyes, revealing immense self-assurance.
"Daoist priest…"
"The five Daoist priests before were also this arrogant, but… but." The young man showed a timid expression and cautiously reminded, "In the end, they were all sucked dry by that demoness and died in a miserable state. Wouldn't you reconsider?"
"Oh?"
The Daoist priest furrowed his eyebrows, staring at the young man next to him and thoughtfully said, "That will cost extra!"
"…"
"Silver is not a problem. My father is a well-known wealthy merchant in the ten-mile radius. As long as you help me get rid of this demoness, I will naturally reward you with silver. However…" The young man paused and sighed quietly, speaking bitterly, "Forget it, forget it. Daoist priest, you should be cautious. I will find you at the inn in the morning if you are still there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man hurriedly turned his head and shouted at the many servants behind him, "Quick, let's go back!"
In a flash, the young man and his numerous servants ran away in a panic, leaving behind the handsome and gallant Daoist priest standing alone in the courtyard, holding a large sword in his hand,to hunt for the demoness.
The Daoist priest's name was Lu Xun, and he had some fame in the realm of demon-slaying.
But just three years ago, he was an ignorant young man who had recently graduated from university.
That's right, Lu Xun was not a native of this bizarre world. Three years ago, inexplicably, he crossed over to this place, a world full of demons and monsters.
At first, he had grand ambitions, believing that according to his understanding of the setting, he would surely reach the pinnacle of life and be surrounded by countless beautiful women.
However, reality dealt him a heavy slap, and he was fortunate to be saved by an old Daoist passing by before he starved to death on the streets.
He then learned the skills of demon-slaying from this old Daoist, thinking that his life would improve day by day.
But unexpectedly, the old Daoist passed away within the second month, leaving Lu Xun dumbfounded with only a smattering of knowledge.
With no other options, he resorted to swindling and deceiving people until one day, he suddenly discovered that the demons and monsters around him were all weak.
With the little knowledge he had acquired, he could easily deal with them, and a door to happiness slowly opened before him.
Of course, there was a huge secret hidden within Lu Xun. Sitting on a wooden chair in the hall of the house, his large sword placed beside him, Lu Xun was idly staring into space. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the front door of the courtyard creaked open.
"Hehe~"
"What a handsome young man."
A delicate and somewhat averagely beautiful woman slowly emerged from the darkness, wearing a faint smile. Her captivating eyes locked onto Lu Xun in the hall as she softly asked, "Is the young master here to have some fun with me?"
Lu Xun shook his head without saying a word, carefully observing the woman before him. He secretly concluded that he had the upper hand in this situation.
"What's wrong with the young master? Am I not to your liking? Or perhaps… is the young master feeling shy?" The woman covered her smile with her sleeve and looked at Lu Xun with her alluring almond eyes, her coquettish voice tinged with a hint of mystery, saying,
"Young master, don't be shy. Let me teach you. Come, follow me inside. This long night awaits your pleasure."
As she spoke, a faint green light appeared in the woman's eyes, and a furry tail inadvertently peeked out from behind her buttocks.
"Hmph!"
"A mere parlor trick. How dare you try to deceive me." Facing the illusion cast by the woman, Lu Xun said disdainfully.
With those words, the woman showed a look of astonishment, looking at the Daoist priest in front of her with a trace of a sly smile.
She said softly, "So the young master came to take my life; I misunderstood. It's a pity that such a handsome man will die like this. How about this? Young master, let me please you first, and then you can go to your death, how does that sound?"
"Just based on your appearance?"
"Go to hell!"
Lu Xun didn't waste time with words. He picked up his large sword and swung it. The blade cut through the air, and a cold light rushed towards her.
"AHHH!!"
With a tragic scream from the woman, there was a loud 'boom,' and she exploded on the spot.
Was that a bit too much?
Lu Xun put away his sword and sighed helplessly. He walked to the spot where the woman had exploded and bent down to pick up a brown bead from the ground. It was a demon pill, unique to monsters, containing all their cultivation.
However, if a human or a monster consumed it, they would be possessed by evil spirits, lose their cultivation, and might even lose their lives. Nevertheless, for certain individuals, the demon pill was very precious.
Looking at the demon pill in his hand, Lu Xun didn't hesitate at all. He directly tossed it into his mouth, swallowed it with a gulp, and immediately closed his eyes.
A panel appeared in his mind.
[ Name: Lu Xun, Level: 51, Experience: 9900/10000, Cultivation: 742651 ]
[ Ability: Pure Yang Body (Level 2, requires two million cultivation for the next level) ]
"It seems…"
"I only gained a little experience and an additional two hundred in cultivation." Lu Xun frowned, unable to help but mutter. At the beginning, his cultivation had increased like a rocket, reaching level twenty in just one month.
However, as time went on, it became increasingly difficult to progress, and the acquisition of cultivation points became scarce, to the point that it seemed to have come to a halt.
With a sigh of helplessness, he shifted his focus to the "Pure Yang Body."
[ Pure Yang Body: An extremely rare aptitude in the world, with a recovery speed beyond ordinary, capable of delivering world-shocking power with just an ordinary attack, nearly invincible defensive capabilities, and immunity to all negative effects. ]
It was very powerful! Truly formidable!
Ever since activating this ability, he felt as if everything was as simple as cutting melons and vegetables.
"Having such power at just level two, if I reach level three… Won't I practically be soaring in strength on the spot?" Lu Xun mumbled softly.
Under the captivating moonlight, Lu Xun walked the deserted streets, carrying his sword on his back.
Since he left the mountain to make a living, he had been leading a nomadic life, staying mostly in inns, and occasionally spending the night in places filled with music and beautiful women.
The entertainment district was his only motivation to keep going in this world.
*Whooosh
As he walked, Lu Xun suddenly stopped and looked up at the rooftops. Did something just fly by?
After a brief moment of confusion, Lu Xun continued on his way towards the inn where he was staying. However, before he took a few more steps, a voice came from behind him.
"Pure Yang Body!"
"It's like finding treasure by accident when not even looking for it."
It was a woman's voice, soft and alluring, more captivating than the previous fox demoness, even a hundred or a thousand times more.
Lu Xun turned his head towards the voice and saw a graceful and mature woman, the only thing he can say is that her body and assets is the most beautiful 'S' . Her stunning appearance, paired with her bewitching amber eyes, seemed capable of stealing people's souls.
Her white cheongsam like dress fluttered in the wind, emanating a rich and charming aura.
"Tsk tsk. What a handsome young Daoist." The mature woman looked at Lu Xun and asked with a seductive smile, "Are you from a genuine Daoist sect?"
"None of your business!" Lu Xun stared at her warily, tightly gripping the large sword in his hand. His intuition told him that this alluring mature woman was very dangerous.
The mature woman smiled and carefully examined Lu Xun, sighing, "Such a sentimental and reckless young man. There are countless women in this world who will be taken advantage of it."
As she finished speaking, she softly asked Lu Xun, "Young Daoist, can I borrow your body?"
Upon hearing the mature woman's words, Lu Xun stood dumbfounded in place, his usually sharp mind almost going blank.
Quickly regaining his senses, he answered with a serious expression, "Although I possess the legacy of Wei Wu, humans and demons have different paths. Even if you have skills like changing appearances or deceiving others, you can't escape my sharp eyes. I could see that you're not human since the beginning!"
"Demoness, behold my sword!" Saying that, he raised his sword to strike.
