Chapter 1274: A Different Approach

tus flower.Du Li was still walking with Ran Miaolan. The two would exchange a few words from time to time. She instinctively didn't want Yi Lian to get close to Ran Miaolan.Unfortunately, several of t...This time, ripples transformed into a gentle breeze. Passing through the boundary between humans and demons, she entered the demon realm and released her aura, reverting to her original face. This is why Bai Shao, her old father, sensed it immediately.

"Ripples, you're back!"

Bai Shuo looked at his daughter, dressed in red, her demonic power surging. He felt a warmth in his heart, his fox-like eyes narrowed into slits, and he asked with a grin.

"Father, you must have worried. Your daughter is back."

"Just come back, I see your cultivation has improved again. It seems you have gained a lot from this trip out."

Bai Shuo looked his daughter up and down before speaking.

"This time I truly reaped a bountiful harvest, and I've brought some good things back for you. Let me return to my cave abode first and then I will give them to you."

"Okay, let's go back and talk later."

Bai Shuo was overjoyed to see his daughter return. He and his daughter turned into a beam of white light and instantly returned to their fox den.

The father and daughter sat opposite each other. Lian'er first brewed a pot of spirit tea for her father, then proceeded to tell him in detail about everything that had happened since she left the demon realm.

Bai Shu was so shocked to hear that his daughter had become a guest elder of Yuntengzong that he almost spit out the spiritual tea in his mouth. However, he couldn't bear to waste such a good thing, so he swallowed it hard and then spoke:

"Daughter, what you're doing is too dangerous! If you're caught, they'll skin you alive and cut you to pieces!"

"Father, please rest assured. If I didn't have absolute confidence, I wouldn't do this. And I'm not doing this for fun, but to learn."

As a guest elder, what profound lineage can Yun Tianzong teach you

Bai Shuo said with a disapproving look, still feeling that his daughter was a bit too bold.

"Father, please don't rush to deny me. Look at my achievements first before you say anything."

Ripple smiled and, from her own inner space, pulled something out.

“This is a talisman I drew, from first grade to sixth grade, as long as it’s available in the immortal world, I can draw it now. Talismans above the sixth grade need corresponding cultivation to assist, when my cultivation level goes up, I will naturally be able to draw them.”

Bai Duo took the talisman that was shimmering with a faint light and looked at them one by one.

“This is a pill I tried refining using the sect’s earth fire. Currently, I can refine third-grade pills. In fact, with my cultivation level, refining sixth-grade pills wouldn’t be a problem either. It’s just that alchemy requires precise heat control and experience comes from practice. I need a lot of practice. I don’t want to waste all the sect points on exchanging for spiritual herbs, so after mastering the refining technique, I haven’t continued upgrading.”

He immediately pushed a pile of pill bottles toward Bai Shao.

Bai Shuo opened a pill container, and a distinct aroma of medicinal herbs wafted out. He even took out a pill and popped it into his mouth, savoring its potency. His fox eyes lit up immediately; this was clearly a high-grade elixir. It melted in his mouth, releasing an abundant supply of energy that surged through his body, warming him from the inside out.

Ripple saw her father's face filled with enjoyment, knowing that her elixir had been successfully refined. In fact, the Red Lotus業火 also played a crucial role in refining such a high-quality elixir. Without its assistance, she could only have refined elixirs of middling quality at best.

The ripples finally brought out the formation disk she had carved herself. This formation disk, which she had spent a month carving, was a three-rank composite formation disk that combined offense and defense. It was more than enough to protect her life and trap enemies.

Bai meticulously studied the black circular disk in his hand, its surface adorned with intricate runes. He examined it repeatedly, even injecting demonic energy to test its properties. Ultimately, the results left him highly satisfied.

After a long while, Bai Shuo finally looked at Lian Yi, as if wanting to see what achievements his daughter had made.

Ripple pursed her lips and smiled.

“Father, refining equipment is both physically demanding and technically challenging. As I was brought up in the Yuntian Sect through talismanic transmission, my exposure to alchemical jade slips has been limited. My current skill level is merely at the introductory stage. To be able to refine a finished product, it's likely going to take some time.”

"Alright, no need to rush. In such a short time, you've achieved this much already, it's very good. You truly are my Bai Shi daughter."

Bai She laughed heartily, so happy that his tail was almost wagging.

Ripple blushed with a smile, accepting Bai She's compliment before continuing:

"Father, I took such a big risk joining Yuntian Sect, and it wasn't just to steal and learn arts. My purpose is to also let the demon race benefit."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Bai Tuo immediately composed himself and said in a serious tone:

"Ripple, tell me about it carefully."

"Father, the friction between humans and demons has existed for a long time, and it's constantly escalating. Every thousand years, there will be a major war. To say that it's due to long-standing grievances isn't an exaggeration. In fact, what they are fighting over is nothing more than cultivation resources and space."

Humans envy our demon clan's powerful physiques and long lifespans, while we admire humans' ability to quickly increase their cultivation using various tools and become dominant figures, founding schools and passing on their lineages.

Moreover, after transforming into human form and cultivating, one can better comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. However, both sides haven't found a balance point, so there's constant strife, openly and secretly. All in all, our demon clan is the one at a disadvantage.

The ripples now being a demon cultivator, so what they say is from the standpoint of the demon race.

"Ripples, how does this relate to what you've been learning"

Bai She still asked, puzzled.

"I learned these things with the purpose of teaching them to my kin, even the entire demon race, and then using the resources of the demon clan's territory to exchange benefits with the human race."

After some deliberation, Lian Yi said.

"Is this feasible As demons, we only need our bloodlines to not be too mixed, and we will awaken inherited memories. These things are enough for us to cultivate, and besides, our cultivation speed is slow anyway. How many would be willing to learn these things"

Bai Suo frowned.

“Father, it is precisely because our cultivation speed is slow that we need to learn more. Take our fox clan as an example. The white foxes and purple foxes have the most noble bloodlines, but there are also many mixed-fur foxes in our clan. Their probability of awakening their inherited memories is very low. Can you say that these foxes are not intelligent”

Ripples asked in return.

"So you mean these kin who are unable to awaken their inherited memories can find another way, by learning human skills to secure cultivation resources for themselves"

Bai Duo understood his daughter's meaning.

"Yes, Father, you should know better than I that the best of each race are always a minority. We believe in survival of the fittest, but that doesn't mean we abandon our kin!"

Besides, our demon clan territory has a lot of spirit plants, spirit grasses, and spirit ores. These things are valued differently when refined into finished products compared to being exchanged as raw materials.

"And that's precisely why the human race always wants to vie with our demon race for territory, after all, the temptation is too great. They only need enough courage to venture into the demon realm once and they can accumulate several years' worth of cultivation resources."

Bai Duo narrowed his fox eyes, digesting his daughter's words one by one, and found what she said to be reasonable.

"I understand and I can relate to what you're saying, but it's a bit difficult to put into practice."

"Father, to promote this in the demon realm, we need to show them results. So the first step will be taken by our fox clan."ging, she received good news from Bai Shao, learning that Lian Xiye had retreated again. She then ignored him, as the teleportation array in Zi Yue Mountain Range was already destroyed. Even if Lian X...
