Bai Xiaowen made an inventory. He had gained a lot from this side mission of suppressing and eliminating demons.
He had further unearthed the ability of the Eye of Evolution to analyze and seal other people's skills, and he had also learned how to use spiritual sense. These two points were hidden improvements that did not appear on his personal interface, but they were real help to his combat strength and spirit realm exploration ability.
His friendship with Chen Rong had allowed him to obtain a gold-grade evolver equipment, the Thunderwood Sword, which was a pleasant surprise. In addition, he had also obtained two wood-type treasures.
What Bai Xiaowen was concerned about was that he had not received any notifications about Chen Rong's favorability, nor had he received any notifications about his reputation with any faction.
This meant that the evolver's plane had hidden all information about favorability, reputation, and so on. They no longer gave evolvers any notifications.
This was very fair. Otherwise, evolvers could infer some outside information based on the changes in favorability of the natives. This was extremely unfair to the natives.
After watching the Chen caravan leave, Bai Xiaowen quietly turned back and returned to the Old Scholar Town Inn. He secretly found the innkeeper.
"Immortal Elder, you … didn't you already leave?"
The innkeeper was a little surprised.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'm just sending a friend off. Innkeeper, I want to ask you something. "
"This … please speak, Immortal Elder."
"On this Cangzhou Ancient Road, other than the Ancient Buddha Temple near Old Scholar Town, where else are there rumors of demons?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
There were two reasons for Bai Xiaowen's question.
First, the townspeople kept saying that demons were rampant. After the death of the Ancient Scholar Tree Demon, it was very likely that other even more ferocious demons would come to seize territory! This meant that the townspeople of Old Scholar Town had definitely heard rumors of demons in other places.
Second, as the innkeeper, he was definitely experienced and knowledgeable. If there was anyone in Old Scholar Town who was the most well-informed, it would be none other than the innkeeper in front of him.
The shopkeeper understood Bai Xiaowen's meaning and said in surprise, "Immortal senior, are you going to subdue demons and devils in other areas of the Cangzhou Ancient Road?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and said righteously, "It is the duty of us cultivators to eradicate evil and restore peace to the human world."
The shopkeeper hurriedly knelt down and was rather moved. "Immortal Elder is truly a chivalrous person. I admire you greatly."
The shopkeeper couldn't wait for Bai Xiaowen to subdue the demons. It would be best if Bai Xiaowen could wipe out all the demons in the vicinity of the Cangzhou Ancient Road. That way, his business would be better.
Furthermore, by eliminating the fiendish demons in other territories, there would be a large number of empty territories. This would reduce the number of fiendish demons coming to fight for Ancientscholar Town's territory. This was also good news.
The shopkeeper gave him a list of locations, all of which were rumored to have demons in the past. However, the shopkeeper didn't dare to be certain. After all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Bai Xiaowen then took his leave.
For the next half a month, Bai Xiaowen wandered around the vicinity of the Cangzhou Ancient Road.
His movement pattern had already become fixed. He would travel during the day and sleep in the wilderness at night. He would study that piece of bark that recorded the "Wood Incarnation" demonic technique.
It was worth mentioning that the words on this piece of bark became more and more blurred as time passed.
Bai Xiaowen inquired about the reason for this.
It turned out that for this kind of cultivation book, the additional information was only secondary. The most important thing was the "comprehension" that the author left behind when writing the book.
For example, every stroke and stroke on this piece of bark cultivation book was soaked in the tree demon's comprehension of the "Wood Incarnation" technique. Bai Xiaowen used the Inner Sight technique to study this piece of bark. This was equivalent to experiencing the tree demon's realm.
The tree demon's demonic energy was attached to this piece of bark. As time passed, the tree demon's demonic energy would continuously decrease. Because the tree demon had already died, this piece of bark would become water without a source.
Furthermore, Bai Xiaowen's comprehension would accelerate the dissipation of the demonic energy.
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself. It turned out that using a cultivation book to learn a technique was not guaranteed to succeed. If it was someone with a lower aptitude, they might not be able to learn this technique until the tree demon's demonic energy and comprehension completely dissipated.
Bai Xiaowen's original plan was to travel day and night. During this one month of exploration in the spirit realm, he would obtain as many benefits as he could.
However, after learning about the changes in the bark cultivation book, he could only change his plan. He would travel during the day and study at night.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen's aptitude was excellent. In just a few nights, he had already learned the "Wood Incarnation" technique and entered the beginner stage.
Now that Bai Xiaowen used the "Wood Incarnation" technique and attached a strand of spiritual thought to the incarnation, he could control the incarnation to attack. However, the attack power was very weak.
Currently, the incarnation could only move freely within three kilometers of Bai Xiaowen. In addition, the existence of the incarnation would take up one-fourth of Bai Xiaowen's True Inner Force.
After Bai Xiaowen learned it, he put this technique aside for the time being.
It was fine as long as he learned it. He was not in a hurry to train it to the advanced or even proficient level. He could train it after returning to his territory. The effect would be the same. If it were not for the fact that the cultivation book had a time limit, Bai Xiaowen might not have started learning it in this evolutionary plane.
During this time, Bai Xiaowen also "visited" a few areas that were rumored to have demons. Most of them were inhabited by humans.
He did not know if it was because he was unlucky or if the demons had gone into hiding after hearing the rumors. After half a month, he did not even see the shadow of a single demon.
That night, Bai Xiaowen lit a bonfire and camped out in the wilderness.
The mutant beast jerky covered in grease crackled above the bonfire.
I'll reach Peace Town tomorrow. Regardless of whether I can find the demons or not, I'll have to go south and head to the Shangqing school.
Bai Xiaowen secretly thought that the Shangqing school's Dao Discussion Conference would definitely be a grand event. He could not miss it.
When the fragrance wafted over, Bai Xiaowen hurriedly put away the beast jerky and began to eat with clean water.
Bai Xiaowen also gave a large piece to the Wrath Claw.
The Wrath Claw lazily lay behind Bai Xiaowen like a natural sofa. It was a pity that its fur was a little hard and its rune armor was a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, it would have been a good pillow.
Suddenly, the Wrath Claw's ears perked up and it let out a low roar. "Master, someone's coming, awoo."
Bai Xiaowen also heard the sound of horse hooves. He closed his eyes slightly and spread out his spiritual awareness.
Soon, Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes and revealed a hint of joy.
"It's Cecilia! Wrath Claw, get up and help. It's time to work! "
The Wrath Claw reluctantly howled, stood up, and shook its mane.
The chaotic sound of horse hooves could be heard. In the dark night, a group of black-clothed horsemen galloped away on their horses and cursed incessantly.
"Where did this foreign girl come from? She's so ruthless!"
"I didn't provoke her. Why did I meddle in other people's business? We're done for. Losing the camp is a small matter, but the offerings that we've accumulated for a long time are gone! "
"Why are we running? There are so many people here. Let's fight her! I don't believe that she can kill all of us. "
"Good job, Old Sixth Qi. You go first. Our brothers promise to follow."
