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

As night deepened, a bright moon hung high in the night sky, its clear light streaming through the window and into an exquisite room, illuminating the delicate features of a young boy.

The boy was slender, dressed in a yellow robe, sitting cross-legged on a wide bed, holding a vividly colored cultivation manual in his hands, completely absorbed in his practice.

It was late, and most people in the Azure Bloom Sect had already extinguished their lights and gone to sleep. Looking out, only a few scattered lights remained in the entire sect.

And in this long night, Ning Lu kept company with an oil lamp, focusing all his thoughts and energy on cultivating the Five Elements Swordplay.

The next morning, as dawn broke, only a few faint rays of light filtered through the window, illuminating the wooden table in the room, bringing a little light to the dim space.

Ning Lu lay on his side on the wide wooden bed, sound asleep.

The previous night, the boy had spent about two or three hours successfully cultivating the Five Elements Swordplay taught to him by Hu Danian to the entry level.

The Five Elements Swordplay was an extremely sophisticated technique, requiring the practitioner to attach the power of the five elements to five different swords. Therefore, the cultivator needed to sense the five elements of heaven and earth to achieve mastery of the technique naturally.

Because Ning Lu practiced Gravitational Manipulation, he often manipulated sand and stones from the ground as his weapons, so the boy was most familiar with the earth element among the five elements.

Now, among the five flying swords, the boy could attach the earth element to one sword, turning it into a powerful killing blow.

"Dong, dong, dong."

Just then, a sudden knock sounded, echoing in the silent and empty corridor.

Ning Lu sat up at the sound, still drowsy. Looking through the crack in the door, he saw a young man with a pointy face and monkey-like cheeks standing there.

The young man also peered through the crack in the door. Seeing the boy get up, he pushed the door open and slowly said to the boy sitting on the bed.

"Junior Brother, it's time for us to depart. The Wolf Den is far from the sect. Although the sect has given us a seven-day time limit for the task, we should complete the task given to us by the sect as early as possible!"

"Alright, let's set off now!" The boy put on a yellow robe, stood up, picked up a bulging bag of spirit stones from the wooden table, and followed closely behind the young man.

Sun Hao said nothing, simply turned around, his back to the boy, and walked straight out of the room, a sinister smile on his face.

Ning Lu and Sun Hao walked one after the other in the empty corridor, heading straight out of the outer disciple dormitory.

The two walked on the stone path of the sect, slowly approaching the gate. There were hardly any disciples around, only a few scattered individuals.

Today was the weekend, and the outer disciples had no classes and could choose to rest. As it was still early, there were naturally few people in the outer disciple area.

The two left the gate of the Azure Bloom Sect and walked on the mountain path, slowly heading towards the location of the Wolf Den.

During this process, Sun Hao occasionally turned his head to glance at the boy, his eyes filled with a hint of imperceptible coldness.

Seeing the young man's unusual behavior, Ning Lu frowned and became wary, saying, "Senior Brother, is there something on my face? Why do you keep turning to look at me?"

"No, Junior Brother, you're overthinking it. Senior Brother just thinks that in the two days since we last met, your aura has become much stronger. May I ask what your current cultivation level is?"

The young man stopped turning his head, slowly walking forward, and said with a faint smile.

Ning Lu hesitated for a breath, then his expression turned cold, and he lied, "Senior Brother is too kind! My cultivation is still stuck at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. How can I compare to Senior Brother?"

"Hahaha, that's already very good. If you practice diligently, you will surely surpass Senior Brother in the future!"

Sun Hao sneered inwardly, but his face remained unchanged, pretending to praise him.

At this moment, both of them wore false masks, praising each other with insincere words, each hiding their own trump cards.

The two walked on the mountain road without stopping, completely unaware that a pair of gloomy and cunning eyes were watching them from behind.

An old man with snow-white hair, dressed in a dark green robe, was hidden in the forest, closely following the two in front.

Unknowingly, a whole day had passed quietly. The sun set, and a bright moon rose again. Countless stars hung high in the night sky, each one incredibly bright and dazzling.

After traveling for a whole day, Sun Hao and Ning Lu felt slightly tired, so they found a cave in the nearby mountains, lit a fire by drilling wood, illuminated the dark cave, and decided to spend the night there.

At this moment, Ning Lu was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his hands in front of the fire, feeling the warmth from the blazing flames.

Sun Hao stood ten meters behind the boy, multicolored light flickering in his hand. Five flying swords appeared out of thin air in mid-air. The young man slowly approached the boy, his face extremely gloomy, his tone cold.

"Junior Brother, I can't tell! You have such a small physique, but you have such good stamina. You've been walking all day, and you don't feel tired at all!"

"Why not you, Senior Brother?" Ning Lu said with a faint smile, as if his words contained hidden meaning.

Before he finished speaking, the young man flicked his finger, and a flying sword sped towards the boy's back, as if it would pierce the boy's chest in the next moment.

"Boom!"

When the sword was less than an inch away from the boy's back, a giant rock wrapped in mud and sand shot up into the sky, heavily smashing into the flying sword attacking the boy.

The flying sword was subjected to a huge impact and was immediately knocked away, heavily embedded in the ground. The giant rock was no better off, and under this sword, it shattered into countless tiny pieces.

"How did you find out?" Sun Hao's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle, obviously not expecting the boy to be prepared.

"Senior Brother, don't you think everyone in this world is as stupid as you?" Ning Lu slowly stood up, turned around, his tone cold, his face showing no fear.

"Boy, stop being arrogant! In that case, obediently hand over the treasures in your hands, and perhaps out of consideration for our fellow disciples, I can spare your life!"

Hearing this, the young man sneered repeatedly, threatening in a stern voice.

The boy said nothing, just moved his mind slightly, activated Gravitational Manipulation, and manipulated several giant rocks in the cave out of thin air, heavily smashing them towards the young man in front of him.

"Looking for death! Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, then you shall die!" The young man gnashed his teeth in anger, his voice echoing in the empty cave.

The multicolored light in Sun Hao's hand became even brighter, and the flying sword embedded in the ground rose from the ground, and together with the other four flying swords, they rapidly attacked forward.
