Chapter 200: Chapter 149: The Devil Emperor Possesses a Body and Becomes a Venerable

Gu Wen bent over and searched the eight-meter-long fox demon carcass, and he realized that the Devil Clan’s method of storing items was similar to Ao Tang’s, both involving the transformation of certain body parts into storage spaces.

This was related to their cultivation methods, as the Human Race practiced Qi Cultivation, while the Devil Clan practiced Body Refinement. Humans used myriad Daoist Skills, absorbing the universe and turning it into magic. Devils cultivated Innate Skills, envisioning the ways of Innate God Demons.

But if you were to ask which was better, Gu Wen felt the Qi Cultivation method of the Human Race was superior.

Because within the Human Race, the Demon Sect’s Divine Blood faction was just a branch, and the mainstream was the Qi Cultivation that was the orthodoxy of the Mystical Sect.

Truth comes from practice, and it is not that the Human Race cannot contemplate the Innate, but the fact that it has not become mainstream to this day illustrates the point. In the Cultivation World, where the weak are prey to the strong, nature naturally eliminates the weak.

Where was the storage space of the fox woman?

Gu Wen searched up and down, and because it was a demon body, he did not shy away, suddenly realizing a very interesting question.

Foxes are also mammals and have four organs physiologically, while she appears to have two on the outside after her transformation. However, observing the tiger demon, he found that, despite having a human body and a tiger’s head, it had more than seven or eight mammalian organs.

Chi Yu Zi came over and saw Gu Wen pondering over the fox demon’s carcass and asked, "What’s wrong? Can’t bear to part with a beautiful fox?"

All people have emotions and desires; lust is a natural instinct, let alone facing Tushan Xue, a genuine Saint Daughter of the Fox Clan.

Enslaving such a demon is a matter of great face for some people when walking outside; for example, some great powers like to collect powerful demons as mounts. There is no record in the Cultivation World of anyone ever using a member of the Tushan Clan as a Pill Furnace.

Gu Wen being tempted, she understood; as long as he wasn’t soft-hearted at the crucial moment, that would be fine.

She patted Gu Wen’s shoulder and comforted, "The fox demon might be good, but if you really take her back, the Heavenly Girl could twist your head off, so let her go with the wind."

"Actually, I’m curious why the fox demon transformed into a human without preserving their features, while the tiger demon did, and why they need to transform?"

Gu Wen explained his curiosity to Chi Yu Zi.

Chi Yu Zi frowned and didn’t answer, instead, she pointed at herself, showing her sharp tiger teeth with a murderous look, and asked, "Although I don’t dress like a woman, you should know that I’m a woman, right?"

"Of course, I know."

"Then why did you speak to Granny about these things, you rogue!"

"Never mind, we’re all brothers."

Chi Yu Zi was so angry that she wanted to give him a kick, but feared she might cause harm, as her physical strength was now comparable to that of a Taoist Soldier. Just as Daoist Skills must not harm people, she couldn’t strike others casually.

Otherwise, if she got injured from fighting as a front foot, and people came to kill her as a back foot, it would just be stupid.

Gu Wen persisted, "So why are the transformations different?"

Chi Yu Zi answered, "Transformation involves flesh, skin, and bone, with the bone being the hardest to transform, hence the creatures with beast heads and human bodies. A truly accomplished transformation is indistinguishable from humans on the outside, and I’ve even heard there’s a type that can mate and reproduce with humans."

"What comes out, human or demon?"

"Half-human, half-demon; a thing neither human nor ghost, generally doesn’t live very long."

At that moment, the hair on the fox demon’s carcass swelled, and various items began to appear.

Deprived of Tushan Xue’s mana supply, the items hiding among the fur started to emerge.

Chi Yu Zi used a Taoist Sword to cut off the skin around the waist, saying, "This is the material for making a Qiankun Bag. Generally speaking, Artifact Refiners refine it themselves, but it’s best to use the parts of a demon clan."

"That’s truly beneficial for both parties."

Gu Wen bent over to gather the loot, putting whatever it was straight into the Qiankun Bag, and along with the original herbs, it quickly filled up.

A Qiankun Bag the size of a big fish tank is not enough.

Previously, when collecting herbs in the secret realm as well, stuffing in a few tens of pounds was all it could take; excessive compression would damage the Spiritual Medicine and result in a loss not worth the gain.

Seeing this, Chi Yu Zi considerately offered, "Do you need me to refine this skin into a Qiankun Bag?"

"How much?"

"Talking about money with Granny, as if you’re willing to pay."

Chi Yu Zi rolled her eyes; he still owed her for the Pill she had been conned into before!

Moreover, for her, refining a Qiankun Bag was not difficult, especially since this skin had already been refined and had a certain storage function.

Upon hearing this, Gu Wen immediately understood, "Could you also make me a piece of clothing using the fox demon’s fur? Otherwise, after an intense fight, I’ll need to change into new clothes."

With the intensity of the magical fights, even armor couldn’t withstand it. Now the clothes he wore were bought by Yu Hua in Luodu, and he saw that there were not many left.

"Scram!"

"I’ll give you another Taoist Sword."

Once Gu Wen said this, Chi Yu Zi’s expression improved somewhat, clamoring, "Hmph, for the sake of your Taoist Sword, I’ll help you one more time."

-----------------

Gu Wen and Chi Yu Zi each carried a demon carcass and returned to the Grotto Heaven of the secret realm, where the Rat Demon shrank into a corner, staying quietly.

Ao Tang saw the body of the White Fox they were carrying, and his eyelids twitched at the aura.

"Is this from the Qingqiu royal family?"

Gu Wen answered without hesitation, "Probably, she called herself Tushan Xue."

First, he had killed the nephew of the Angri Cave Heaven Master, and then he had killed a member of the Tushan royal family; this was like turning the world upside down.

Ao Tang stared blankly, then said nothing more.

Because their current situation was such that killing inheritors of the Buddhist, Taoist, and Demon sects didn’t matter, he was fond of maintaining personal relationships but also knew their importance.

However, this Second Ancestor was a bit too fierce. These devil geniuses weren’t roadside dogs; how could they be killed just like that?
