Chapter 25: Chapter 25 You're a Good Person

The little girl in the bamboo basket was incredibly surprised, astounded that Li Muyang trusted her so easily.

Li Muyang, who was hastily running through the mountain forest, just curled his lips—having died in the hands of that monster hundreds of times, how could he not believe her?

But naturally, there was no need to say such things to the little girl.

As he sprinted through the woods toward the cave entrance they had come from, he said,

"I'm not a fool, you hate Black Cloud Fort so much yet don't want to leave, and even persuaded me to go back... what you said must be true!"

"Otherwise, if you left Black Cloud Fort, why would you go back? Do you really want to stay in the fort to be the one whose blood is drained like a soulless being?"

The cultivation of most demonic arts at Black Cloud Fort requires demon blood, which is an essential material.

And the blood of the soulless beings is one type of demon blood.

So if the little girl returned to the fort, she would end up like a blood cow, frequently having her blood drawn.

If there was a chance to escape Black Cloud Fort, the little girl would definitely want to.

Li Muyang's words made perfect sense. The little girl in the basket was stunned for a moment before giving a forlorn smile.

"Yes... if I could leave, who would want to return to the fort?"

The tone of the little girl was somewhat dejected.

This big brother is really smart, figuring out so much instantly.

Her trying to act clever in front of him earlier must have looked funny to him...

The little girl in the basket curled up her body and covered her face, feeling her face burning hot.

After the little girl fell silent, Li Muyang looked up at the affection meter in the upper right corner of his field of view.

[Little Wild Grass: 23 (She thinks you are very smart)]

It had actually increased by three points...

This little girl is really strange.

The affection meter, which was so hard to increase before, started rising effortlessly now; it rose three points just by saying a couple of sentences.

Indeed, he shouldn't have followed the conventional interactive game plot routine; if he had let himself go sooner without being restricted by system choices, perhaps he'd already be at stage three.

Li Muyang, carrying the little girl on his back, was running through the mountain forest and quickly returned to that dark cave.

A tunnel deep within the cave led directly into the fort.

Following the path they had taken earlier, Li Muyang and the girl meandered through the dark underground for a long time before finally returning to Black Cloud Fort under the moonlight.

And by this time, it was already past midnight.

This secluded mid-mountain area was indeed exceedingly tranquil.

From the nearby woods came the crisp and pleasing sounds of birds chirping.

Upon exiting the game, Li Muyang took a deep breath and stood up on the ridge.

"Suddenly, I feel like this favorability isn't so hard to gain after all..."

Li Muyang stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

Could it be that this Little Wild Grass is the type who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, easily fooled once familiar?

But that's not important now; what's important is the "Remnant Cloud Movement Technique"!

He carefully studied the secret tome and discovered that the cultivation difficulty was very low, the only requirement being a sufficient amount of demon blood.

With enough demon blood to nourish it, one could succeed in cultivation within three to five days.

Standing on the ridge, Li Muyang finished reading the manual, then stretched out his body and picked up the huge water bucket placed nearby.

The bucket was filled with cool mountain spring water, which rose slowly and turned into a misty white fog as Li Muyang stood on the ridge performing the "Little Cloud Rain Technique."

This blob of white mist drifted out and sporadically dropped scattered raindrops.

The rain, imbued with Spiritual Energy, fell into the spirit field, continuously nourishing the seeds within.

The job of a Spirit Plant Cultivator was very relaxed; he only needed to make it rain once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Li Muyang was not like Xiaoshun, the workaholic, who performed the rain technique several times more each day than ordinary people.

He had no specific needs for the growth of the Spirit Rice, and after completing the basic two rain sessions, Li Muyang tossed the huge bucket into the tidied tile house and descended the mountain with a pottery jar.

Outside the gathering place of the Refinement Demon Sect's Outer Sect, there was a market.

Today happened to be the market day, and disciples from all seventeen gathering places of the Outer Sect who had needs would come to the market.

Besides the usual expenses at places such as brothels and taverns in the market, there were many lower-ranking cultivators who set up stalls.

They either sold talismans and Magic Artifacts they had crafted themselves or sold excess Spirit Rice... Everything was available in a dazzling array.

The environment of the Refinement Demon Sect was generally secluded; once the Outer Sect Disciples entered, it was quite difficult to leave easily, thus forming its own market ecosystem.

Li Muyang, flipping through the "Remnant Cloud Movement Technique" manual in his mind, walked toward the market.

This "Remnant Cloud Movement Technique" was a standard Demon technique, powerful and quick to master, but harsh on the body.

Aside from causing debuffs after use, it also inflicted damage to the body during cultivation.

However, Li Muyang did not mind, as all costs were exempted by the system.

Once he acquired the needed demon blood at the market, he would be able to rapidly master this formidable "Remnant Cloud Movement Technique."
