The leading Tiger Demon was just about to distribute the small porcelain bottles in his hands, but he was attracted by the conversation between Ye Kong and the others. He immediately raised his head to look, and his face was filled with anger. It was obvious that he didn't like people interrupting him.
However, when he saw the clothes and cultivation levels of Ye Kong and the others, the tiger monster became respectful at once. He hurriedly put on a humble smile, trotted over, and saluted with hands folded in front of his chest. He said in standard human language, "Greetings, seniors. Welcome to the village …"
Halfway through his words, he saw the tokens of Black Dragon City hanging on the waists of Ye Kong and the others. He narrowed his eyes and changed his words at once. "My lords, please go to the village and have a rest."
Ye Kong and the others didn't feel restrained. No matter where they were, those with high cultivation levels were seniors. The leading tiger monster was only in the middle stage of the Building Foundation Realm. Of course, he had to be very polite to the three Formation Core Cultivators.
However, Ye Kong didn't dare to follow them into the village. He asked, "Who are you?"
The tiger monster hurriedly said, "I'm a small guard captain under the command of General Huang Yaolong of Huatian Village."
Ye Kong didn't stand on ceremony. He put on airs and asked again, "What's your name?"
A trace of doubt flashed in the tiger monster's eyes. "Lords, I thought only monster cultivators above the Core Formation Stage could have a name? I'm only in the Building Foundation Realm. How could I have a name? "
The Core Formation Stage was one of the realms for monster cultivators, equivalent to the Core Formation Stage for human beings.
There was such a rule. Ye Kong nodded. "I haven't come out for a long time. I forgot. Then let me ask you. What's the small bottle in your hand? "
The tiger monster was surprised. "My lord, this is the Water of Transformation. Don't you know that?"
Cao Junfeng was honest, but he wasn't stupid. He knew that the tiger monster regarded him as one of them, so he shouted, "My lord is testing you! Answer the questions honestly! "
The tiger monster was stunned. Testing me like this? Weren't these questions too retarded?
He was confused, but he didn't dare to say more. He nodded immediately. "Yes, my lord."
Ye Kong looked at Cao Junfeng with satisfaction. This kid was quite quick-witted. He then asked, "Then let me test you again. What is the use of the Shapeshifting Water?"
The leader of the tiger demons answered honestly, "This Water of Transformation can transform demon beasts after drinking it, and it also has the effect of improving their cultivation. For us demon cultivators, this is an invaluable elixir. That's why these dogs are so obedient."
The puppies mentioned by the tiger demon leader were naturally those ragged beasts.
Ye Kong and Cao Junfeng exchanged glances. They did not expect the small bottle to contain a potion that could increase one's cultivation base. Back in Cangnan, they had never heard of the Water of Transformation. However, they did not know if it would be useful for human cultivators.
Ye Kong asked again, "Since the Water of Transformation is so important, why did you give it to these beggars?"
"Beggar?" The leader of the tiger demons couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "Sir, these are not beggars, they are farmers."
Ye Kong fainted. These beasts, each and every one of them were so poor they didn't even have the money to buy a pair of pants, and they were actually farmers... Sigh, it seemed that the days of the beasts were also very hard.
"Oh, my eyes are bad." Ye Kong snorted. "These farmers can get the Water of Transformation just by working, it seems that the Water of Transformation is not so precious."
The leader of the tiger demons laughed, came forward and said, "To tell you the truth, they are adding water here."
Ye Kong was stunned again. No wonder people say that all crows in the world are black. It turned out that in the demon beast region, the landlord and the rich were also black-hearted. Such a small bottle the size of a fingernail, and there was water inside? Shameless, too shameless!
Ye Kong rolled his eyes, and pretended to be angry. "This is your general's idea?"
The leader of the tiger demons was indifferent. "Yes, how can the little amount of points given by the City Lord be enough? Which village doesn't do this? If it weren't for the City Lord's birthday this year and needing them to plant flowers, this small bottle wouldn't even be given to them! "
Ye Kong turned his head to look at those "farmers" again. Tragic, indeed tragic. No wonder they all looked so strange. It turned out that Sanlu had drunk too much.
But this had nothing to do with Ye Kong. He wasn't noble enough to care about the life and death of these beasts.
He asked again, "Is this place far from Black Dragon City?"
The tiger demon nodded. "Far, 500,000 miles. I've never been there."
Ye Kong fainted. He had heard from the Sun Village Chief that it would only take a few days to get out of the Spirit Devouring Poisonous Miasma. How did it become 500,000 miles all of a sudden?
Cao Junfeng opened his mouth again. "How can it be that far? Don't talk nonsense. Be careful of your dog head... tiger head! "
The tiger demon was startled and hurriedly explained, "The City Lord controls a radius of one million miles outside of Untainted Land. Black Dragon City is in the center, and our Flower Field Village is at the edge. Of course, it's 500,000 miles. My lord, did I calculate wrongly?"
Cao Junfeng blinked. It seemed that this tiger demon was quite good at math. But why did the Village Chief say it would only take a few days to get there?
Probably seeing their confusion, the tiger demon captain said again, "My lords, if you want to go back to Black Dragon City as soon as possible, you can go to a nearby town. It'll only take a few days. There's a teleportation formation there to Black Dragon City."
Ye Kong and the others suddenly understood. They didn't expect beast cultivation to be so advanced. It was even more advanced than the Cangnan Continent.
"Oh, I see." Ye Kong waved his hand. "Then continue to distribute things."
"Okay." The tiger demon captain was about to distribute the porcelain bottles in his hand, but he turned back and said, "My lords, would you like to go to the village? My general is holding a treasure presentation today. It's very lively."
"A treasure presentation?" Ye Kong smiled, but he was calculating in his mind. His general already had a name. He must be a cultivator above the Core Formation Realm. Let's go. With our strength, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Ye Kong and the others were bold. They stood up and said with a smile, "Then let's go to the village and meet your general."
"This way, please." Immediately, a tiger-headed guard led Ye Kong and the others to the village.
When they came to the village, they saw green brick walls and clean roads. Although it wasn't magnificent, it was neat. They didn't expect the environment of the village where the monsters lived to be so good.
Ye Kong followed the tiger-headed demon and asked, "What's the cultivation of your general? How should we address him when we meet?"
The tiger-headed demon said, "My general, Huang Yaolong, is in the middle stage of the transformation realm. He has the highest cultivation in this area."
Ye Kong and Cao Junfeng looked at each other and complained inwardly. They didn't expect to meet an old monster in the middle stage of the transformation realm. They didn't know what would happen next.
As the saying goes, those who are not of the same race must have a different heart. Ye Kong couldn't leave now, so he had to be careful.
Fortunately, these tiger-headed demons were silly. It was better to ask them for more information. Later on, they could pretend to be on the same side as General Huang Yaolong.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be in a hurry." Ye Kong grabbed the tiger-headed demon and stuffed a few low-grade Spirit Stones into his hand.
When the tiger-headed demon saw the Spirit Stones, his eyes lit up. However, he didn't dare to accept them. He hurriedly declined. "Lord, I can't accept it. You're a lord. How can a little tiger demon like me dare to accept your Spirit Stones?"
Ye Kong said, "It's fine. Just take it as a reward from me."
The tiger-headed demon looked around and put away the Spirit Stones. He smiled and said, "Lord, what instructions do you have?"
Ye Kong said, "Although we're all lords, we're still a little weaker than your general …"
The tiger-headed demon despised him in his heart. You're a realm lower than my general. How shameless!
However, since he accepted the Spirit Stones, he was too embarrassed to say anything. He could only pretend to listen attentively.
Ye Kong continued, "We've just arrived here, and we're not familiar with the situation here, so we'd like to find out some information from you. We'd like to know what Great General Huang likes and what he's afraid of, so that we don't offend the General and make everyone unhappy."
The tiger-headed demon hurriedly smiled. "Lord, I know. Actually, my general's favorite is …" The tiger-headed demon moved closer to Ye Kong's ear and whispered mysteriously, "It's chicken. The general likes to eat chicken. Tonight's banquet will be a hundred chicken banquet!"
"That's a special hobby." Ye Kong nodded and asked, "What's his taboo?"
The tiger-headed demon continued to whisper, "The general hates it when people mention his true form. Don't say it. He'll turn hostile on the spot!"
Cao Junfeng also moved closer and asked, "Your general's true form is …"
"Weasel."
Ye Kong and Cao Junfeng looked at each other and said in astonishment, "No wonder … no wonder he likes to eat chicken."
Ye Kong asked again, "Then are there a lot of human cultivators on your side? Do you demon cultivators dislike human cultivators?"
The tiger-headed demon hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no. We all like human cultivators. I heard that the castellan always says that he likes human cultivators the most … However, we're in a remote area and there are few human cultivators here. Lords, you're the first human cultivators I've seen. I heard that there are many human cultivators in the Black Dragon City, including both adults and civilians."
Ye Kong said again, "Let me test you. How do you distinguish adults from civilians?"
"Milord, your exam questions are too easy." The tiger-headed demon laughed and said, "Those with a sign are adults. Those without a sign are civilians. Those in the straw huts outside are untouchables. You'd be an idiot if you don't know this."
You're the idiot. Ye Kong touched his nose and said again, "Your answer is good. Let me test you again. How do you become an adult? What are the benefits of being an adult?"
The tiger-headed demon said with a silly smile, "Lord, the more you ask, the easier it is. If you have a high cultivation level, you can become an adult. If you transform into a core and become an adult, you can choose a name, open a cave residence, travel around freely, earn spirit stones, and be respected. When you transform into a human shape and become a general, you can govern a region and enjoy the Transformation Water issued by the castellan regularly. Your cultivation speed will be greatly improved! "
Ye Kong nodded and asked the last question, "What about the Treasure Presentation Conference? Who are the guests?"
The tiger-headed demon answered, "This year is the castellan's 200,000 birthday, so he wants to have a big celebration. The general doesn't want to stay in this small village anymore. He wants to take this opportunity to present a treasure to the castellan so that he can be transferred to the Black Dragon City. That's why I invited my friends to come over and exchange treasures for one or two rare treasures that could catch the attention of the City Lord. Among the guests were General Flower Demon, General Bai, and many Core Transformation Stage cultivators. "
"I see. Lead the way. We'll go and have a look." Ye Kong took off his storage ring silently and hung a storage bag on it. Then, he followed the tiger-headed demon to the biggest courtyard in the village.
