Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

Within the space of the ancient Honghuang cauldron, spiritual energy swirled, and a dazzling starry river spanned the sky.

A young man in a yellow robe sat cross-legged upon the cascading Milky Way, his gaze fixed on the crimson furnace intensely blazing before him.

After a moment, the scarlet flames beneath the furnace extinguished, the burning process complete. Three streams of blood-colored gas emerged from the furnace, heading straight toward the young man.

The young man didn't resist, allowing the three streams of blood energy to enter his body.

Instantly, a piercing pain swept through the young man's entire body, causing his veins to bulge and beads of sweat the size of soybeans to appear. Yet, he clenched his teeth, enduring the blood energy as it coursed through him, constantly refining his meridians and bones.

After a while, the pain subsided. The young man felt a significant improvement in his blood and energy, mental strength, and physical power, reaching an unprecedented level.

"I didn't expect that under the refinement of the Honghuang cauldron, two handyman disciples at the initial stage of Body Tempering and a mortal would help me break through to the peak of Body Tempering in one fell swoop!"

Ning Lu clenched his fist, a slight smile on his lips, feeling incredibly delighted and invigorated.

At the same time, three souls flew out of the giant crimson furnace, heading straight towards the sky. They were without consciousness, aimlessly wandering in the sky, keeping company with the previous Ning Dashan.

The young man looked up at the sky. Including the newly added three souls, there were now four souls in the sky within the Honghuang cauldron's space, giving the sky a faint bloody hue.

As time passed, the young man had established an inseparable connection with the Honghuang cauldron, gaining an increasingly profound understanding of it.

The Honghuang cauldron could refine others, turning their cultivation and Taoist practice into essence, thereby transforming it into Ning Lu's cultivation resources, greatly accelerating the young man's cultivation speed.

Moreover, the Honghuang cauldron seemed to be an object not belonging to this plane, possessing an extremely terrifying suppressive force on cultivators' souls, as if it could annihilate all souls in the world.

The young man clearly sensed that if he were not the owner of this Honghuang cauldron, then when his soul encountered the ancient cauldron, it would be like a mayfly seeing the blue sky, a drop of water seeing the ocean. His soul would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.

At that moment, the refinement was completely finished, and the young man slowly stood up, his figure moving at will, leaving the fairy-like space within the Honghuang cauldron.

The scene before the young man's eyes changed, and he returned to the pitch-black deep mountains and forests. The surroundings were silent, with only streaks of bright moonlight filtering through the layers of leaves, scattering in the mountains.

Ning Lu, by the moonlight, picked up the fragrant Green Bamboo Wine beside him, slowly stood up, and planned to return to the Canglan Sect the way he came.

Just as the young man stood up, a white, plump little bug appeared before him, like a silkworm, hanging on a small sapling's branch, staring eagerly at the Green Bamboo Wine in the young man's hand.

"This is? A Wine Worm! Why would a Wine Worm appear in these deep mountains and forests?" The young man was greatly shocked, exclaiming as he stared at the little bug before him.

The Wine Worm is a precious Gu worm, with a market price often as high as ten or more spiritual stones. It can help low-level cultivators refine their true essence and forcibly break through a small realm. Therefore, this Gu worm is a rare treasure in the eyes of low-level cultivators. Its appearance in these deep mountains and forests is truly abnormal!

This cultivation world is strange and wonderful, with countless kinds of Gu worms hidden between heaven and earth, closely connected with humans, and of considerable value to humans!

In other words, to put it simply, humans are the spirit of all things, and Gu is the essence of heaven and earth.

"It seems to be because of this jar of Green Bamboo Wine. Good luck is unstoppable. Today, no matter what, I must bring this Wine Worm into my possession. With the help of this Wine Worm, I should be able to step into the Qi Training Realm in one fell swoop!"

Ning Lu stared at the white and plump Wine Worm hanging on the branch, and looked at the Green Bamboo Wine in his hand, unable to conceal the ecstasy in his heart at this moment.

The Wine Worm's preference is just like its name, with an extreme obsession with wine, but at the same time, it has extremely high requirements for the quality of the wine. Fortunately, the Green Bamboo Wine in the young man's hand is of high enough quality to attract this Wine Worm.

But the young man was not in a hurry to catch the Wine Worm. Instead, he planned to feed the Wine Worm with the Green Bamboo Wine in the jar. This was because the Wine Worm was not a mortal object. Its sudden appearance in the deep mountains and forests proved that there might be even greater opportunities hidden behind this Wine Worm. The young man wanted to maximize the Wine Worm's benefits and unearth the opportunities behind it.

The young man's hand flashed with a faint blue light, using the Art of Attraction to transform the Green Bamboo Wine in the jar into small droplets of water, feeding them to the Wine Worm hanging on the branch.

The Wine Worm was very small, not even the size of a human little finger. Therefore, although it extremely craved wine, it couldn't drink much each time.

In this way, the young man could both feed the Wine Worm and ensure that there was enough Green Bamboo Wine in the jar to return to the sect.

After Ning Lu fed the Wine Worm three small droplets of water transformed from Green Bamboo Wine, it showed a satisfied expression and began to escape from the branch into the distance.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly hugged the jar of Green Bamboo Wine in his hand, his figure rising from the ground, following at full speed.

But even if the young man tried his best, he could only barely keep up with the Wine Worm's speed. After all, the Wine Worm was not a mortal object, but a precious Gu worm, so its movement speed was naturally extremely fast.

Thus, one person and one Gu worm, under the illumination of the night, chased each other, their figures flashing in the mountains and forests.

After a while, the young man chased the Wine Worm all the way to a secluded waterfall. Under the waterfall, there was a narrow stone crevice, which looked unnatural, as if someone had deliberately dug it.

Seeing the stone crevice, the Wine Worm immediately showed a comfortable and natural expression, its figure escaping into it, crawling inward along the stone crevice, as if the inside was the Wine Worm's home.

Seeing this, Ning Lu, with a vigilant mind, used the Art of Attraction to manipulate a small stone from the ground, throwing it into the crevice.

"Da, da, da."

Echoes came from the stone crevice, appearing particularly conspicuous in the empty and silent night, as if there was a spacious and vast space inside.

After thinking it over, the young man finally squeezed into the stone crevice, slowly moving forward step by step along the narrow stone crevice.

The stone crevice was extremely narrow. Fortunately, the young man was thin, so he could barely squeeze into the stone crevice. If it were the two strong young men who had followed the young man before, they would definitely not be able to squeeze into this stone crevice.
