It took three days. This time, Lu Sheng modified Bai Songzi. He used the Great Clear Crane Enlightened Skill's Pure Qi fused with his spirit-prompting threads and made precise adjustments with his powerful spirit.
Bai Songzi's modification process was completed successfully. He fused his spirit-prompting threads three times. Each time, he fused more than three threads.
Vast amounts of Qi and blood enveloped Bai Songzi into a red ball of flesh. It slowly expanded and contracted in the depths of the cave.
Lu Sheng made use of his free time to modify another strong white crane in the flock into a fairy crane demon.
At this point, there were three fairy white cranes in the flock. Little Yun was already close to the demon general tier.
Generally speaking, a small tribe that could possess a demon would be considered extremely powerful.
If they did not encounter some Taoist with nothing better to do, it would not be a problem for them to live peacefully for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Otherwise, how did those great demons that were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old come about?
Lu Sheng reckoned that the Clear Crane Sect's master, Longhe Zhi, and his junior brother and junior sister's cultivation base were only slightly higher than the fairy. They might have reached the demon general tier.
If he used the three crane demons as evidence to convince them, it would definitely be very effective.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. It was time for the Taoist to come and check, as the Taoist had said.
In the remaining days, Lu Sheng successfully transformed another fairy crane demon. In addition to the previous one, he had four fairy cranes in total.
In the wilderness, this could be considered as a small Demon Clan force that was not weak.
When the Taoist arrived, he happened to see Lu Sheng examining the health of the two red-crowned cranes and treating their internal injuries and ailments.
"The deadline is up. Looks like you've succeeded without the examination, Senior Brother!" The Taoist looked at the crane flock that was leisurely strolling and drinking beside Lu Sheng. There was a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Since there's no problem, I'll go and meet Master and Aunt-Master immediately," Lu Sheng said with a smile as he stood up.
"Help yourself, Senior Brother. I'll open the Formation seal right away," the Taoist said with a cupped fist.
"Alright, thank you very much." Lu Sheng nodded and watched the Daoist priest leave.
When he could no longer see anyone, he turned around and looked at the four demon cranes that walked out of the crowd.
"Little Zhen, Little Yun, Little Yu, Little Rong, it's all up to you this time."
"Father, don't worry. We will definitely do our best! " The four demonic cranes were all more than two meters tall, and they had shrunk their bodies through the contraction of their demonic powers.
On the surface, they looked about the same as ordinary cranes, but in reality, they could return to their original huge size by releasing their demonic power at any time.
"Xiao Yun, stay here and take care of the cranes. The other three, follow me." Lu Sheng thought for a while and left one of the Demon Cranes behind. He brought the other three Demon Cranes with him and rushed towards the Taoist temple.
…
In front of the Clear Crane Sect's Daoist temple, a little Daoist boy yawned as he carried a small stool and sat by the door to guard it.
The sun was setting in the west, but the light was still warm, making people doze off uncontrollably.
Just as the little Daoist boy was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from afar.
The Daoist child looked up.
With just one glance, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and his expression became sluggish.
Under the setting sun, a strong man was walking towards the Taoist temple step by step. He was followed by three tall and strong men with cranes' heads.
"That … that's …!!" Although the little Daoist boy had never seen it with his own eyes, he had heard rumors about it. This monster with the head of an animal but the body of a human was definitely the legendary Shapeshifting Demon!
"Hu-Hu-Hu-Hu-Hu-Hu-Hu-Hu-!!" The little Daoist boy stood up and yelled, his tongue tied.
Bang!
Before he could react, the other Daoist child opposite the door turned around and ran.
"Sect Leader! Sect Master! "Another little Daoist boy yelled as he rushed in.
Longhe Zhi was slowly practicing his calligraphy with his brush in hand when he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside. His hand trembled in shock, and a large drop of ink spilled onto the white paper.
"What's with all the noise!?" Longhe Zhi straightened his back and shouted.
A Daoist boy knocked on the door and entered.
"Sect Master, Senior Brother Hezhen, who has just joined the sect, has returned … He … He …"
"What him? Speak! "Longhe Zhi put down his brush impatiently.
The little Daoist boy was so tongue-tied that he could not speak clearly.
"He … He even brought … brought it!!"
Longhe Zhi was speechless. This little fellow could not even speak clearly. He tugged at the hem of his Daoist robe and strode out of the study.
Longhe Zhi's face turned pale the moment he reached the entrance of the courtyard and looked out into the distance.
He stopped in his tracks and turned back quickly. He closed the door and hurriedly changed into his Daoist robe. Then, he immediately rang the alarm bell.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!!
Soon, the entire Taoist temple was alarmed. Daoists of all ages rushed out of the temple as if they were facing a great enemy. They wielded their weapons and rushed to the main entrance.
Among them, Sect Master Longhe Zhi carried a bronze-handled horsetail whisk and wore a purplish-gold Daoist robe. He rushed out aggressively again.
Even his Third Master's Uncle Zheng Qingjian followed behind him with two swords in hand. His expression was solemn.
The group rushed to the main entrance.
"Who goes there!?" Longhe Zhi yelled.
From afar, everyone could see the three strong crane demons with crane heads and human bodies standing behind Daoist Hezhen.
Longhe Zhi had only caught a blurry glimpse of them earlier. However, now that he was closer, he could see clearly that these were three crane demons that had taken human form.
Three of them!?
Longhe Zhi's heart fluttered. In terms of cultivation base, he could handle two of the crane demons. However, it was hard to say for sure in actual combat.
This was especially true for demons. Although they had many weaknesses, once they took human form, their weaknesses would be made up for, and their strengths would be greatly enhanced.
Usually, demons who took human form would transform the skills that they were once best at into a demon technique that they were best at.
Such demon techniques were usually very practical.
Hence, if they were to really fight, victory could not be determined based on cultivation base alone.
Longhe Zhi carefully glanced at his Junior Brother Zheng Qingjian beside him. Now, he could only hope that his Junior Brother could take on one of the crane demons. Otherwise …
He clearly remembered that there were only a few small demons in this 500-mile radius. It would be good enough if there was even one Demon Spirit.
However, now that there were three such huge Demons standing at the door … why had he not heard anything about them?
Lu Sheng looked around him. An apologetic smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, Esteemed Master. These three aren't enemies. Your disciple has something to discuss with Esteemed Master in detail. I wonder if we could talk in private."
Just by looking at the situation before him, Lu Sheng knew that these people had misunderstood him. However, he could not expose his ability to create demons. Hence, he could not explain himself so openly.
Longhe Zhi stared closely at Lu Sheng for a while. After a long while, he waved his hand to let them pass.
Lu Sheng had the three crane demons wait outside. He entered the study with his Master to discuss in detail.
The three crane demons stood obediently outside the door. They guarded the place strictly like door gods.
At this moment, many Taoists recognized Lu Sheng's identity. He was Hezhen, the direct disciple who had just been taken in by the sect master. He was also the Moon Prince Mansion's crown prince. He had a noble status.
Everyone saw that the three crane demons were obediently following Lu Sheng. Currently, they were guarding the door and forbade anyone from entering or leaving. Their hearts were filled with anxiety and doubt.
They entered the study and closed the door.
Longhe Zhi glanced at Lu Sheng.
"You're not hurt, are you? Do you know what intentions those three Crane Demons have in finding this place? "
Lu Sheng smiled.
"Esteemed Master, I've personally nurtured these three crane demons."
"Don't joke around! Time is of the essence now. It's not the time to joke around, "Longhe Zhi said solemnly.
"Esteemed Master, it's true that I had a moment of inspiration. When I was cultivating the Clear Crane Enlightened Skill, I had a slight deviation in my Qi. I didn't expect that a new and better Clear Crane Enlightened Skill would appear!" Lu Sheng began to make up stories.
He started with how he had a flash of inspiration and coincidentally diverted his Clear Crane Enlightened Skill. After that, the Pure Qi he cultivated was even more perfect and pure.
Then, he swam in the lake and accidentally ate a strangely shaped herb at the bottom of the lake. After that, his Pure Qi increased exponentially.
Then, he told how he cultivated the Twin Spirit Zheng Yuan Mantra with his Pure Qi and formed a Twin Spirit relationship with a few cranes. This led to the cranes mutating and turning them into Crane Demons!
Longhe Zhi was dumbfounded after listening to his nonsense.
Entertainment was scarce in this world. Lu Sheng stuffed a few scenes from novels into his story in one go. He made it sound convincing. The details were not something that an ordinary person could come up with in a short amount of time.
Longhe Zhi could not help but believe him when it came to the details.
"There's such a godly herb in this world?!" Longhe Zhi's eyes burned with passion. However, when he remembered that his disciple had already consumed the godly herb, he immediately felt discouraged.
"In other words, those three crane demons are now your companions? They're completely under your command? "Longhe Zhi's voice was trembling slightly.
Those were three crane demons!
Once the Clear Crane Sect joined the ranks of the three crane demons, it would be equivalent to doubling their strength out of thin air. They would no longer be as constrained as before when they were searching for herbs and resources in the surroundings.
"No, Esteemed Master, there are actually four of them. There's one crane demon left. I've asked it to watch over the flock, "Lu Sheng said with a straight face.
"Four …" Longhe Zhi sucked in a breath of cold air.
How many days had it been? In just a few short days, this new disciple of his was so blessed. Not only had he perfected the Enlightened Method in one go, but he had also brought out four crane demons out of thin air?
This was almost like a myth.
However, the truth was right before his eyes. Longhe Zhi had no choice but to believe it.
He had Lu Sheng lead him out immediately to check on the three Crane Demons who had gathered together. Very quickly, he matched the identities of these three cranes. They were all white cranes that Longhe Zhi had seen in the Taoist temple.
Now, they had leaped several ranks and entered the Shapeshifted Demon tier.
Zheng Qingjian was shocked when he found out about this. After verifying it with his Senior Brother, he was overjoyed despite his envy. He was overjoyed that his sect's strength had greatly increased.
Lu Sheng noticed that although Longhe Zhi and Zheng Qingjian were envious that he had consumed the godly herb, they were not jealous. After all, many godly herbs could not be completely digested within a short period of time after they were consumed.
If he encountered a ruthless person, he could ambush the person and refine him into a Human Pill. He could still obtain most of the medicinal properties of the godly herb.
However, Longhe Zhi and Zheng Qingjian's eyes were clear. They did not harbor any evil thoughts.
This made him feel slightly more at ease.
