Chapter 912 - 586: Three Secret Demons Compete in Bidding, Evil Lust Bestows the Yin-Yang Treasure Pillow

Even in the Great Abyss, the Secret Demon Sect's three words are considered a golden signboard.

Not to mention the mysterious Daoist lineage, just the Secret Demon Sect's various powerful figures across realms, either Daoist Transformed or Tribulation Immortals, when combined, ordinary gods and demons can't compare.

And this frail little lad, who looks like a mortal, claims to be participating in the selection of the Secret Demon Sect Master?

If it's false, he'll be devoured in one gulp.

But if it's true, it's a great opportunity.

The three Secret Demons all had these thoughts in their minds.

Tao Qian also knew this, so after speaking, he immediately let the "Divination Worm" project scenes of his earlier fierce endeavors in the Secret Demon Main Path, including Princess Tuluo, tens of thousands of gods and demons plus the notorious Five Defilements Demon Son... Iron-clad proof, which not only proved his identity but also demonstrated Tao Qian's potential and value.

The three old demons with varied appearances saw this, dispelling their doubts, their eyes burning eagerly, wishing they could rub their hands together.

Even the blood food was ignored, as they stared at Tao Qian, exclaiming in succession:

"So it's the Demon Child Tao, no wonder, coming from the Secret Demon Ancestral Land, truly extraordinary skills, I too have left my lineage in the Longevity Realm [Divine Dice Sect], counting some karma. How about this, after I taste your offered blood food, I'll grant you ten Gambler's Source Qi, aiding you to easily enter the Energy-Introducing Realm, and three days into Qi Refinement, subsequent cultivation can be quickly regained."

"Ancestor Land Demon Child, hmm? Indeed a good child, seems I have affinity with you, I'll give you nine Chi Du Source Qi, plus a jar of Blessing Paste, with this treasure, it can assist you a bit."

"Hahaha... Interesting indeed, Princess Tuluo is also quite savage, yet you subdued her easily, calling her sister-in-law, truly a lustful companion like me, excellent, excellent, I'll grant you three Ten Thousand Desires Evil Yin Origin Qi, don't disdain it for being few, this Qi is precious and hard to refine, three can equate to thirty of Gambler's and Chi Du's brothers."

…

Upon hearing the excited tones from the Evil Lustful Lecher as if finding a kindred spirit, Tao Qian inwardly spat.

Nonsense, who's like you, a lustful and lecherous brat?

He, Great Demon Tao, is only romantic, not vulgar.

Despite feeling quite disdainful, Tao Qian saw that the one giving the best conditions first was indeed the Evil Lustful Lecher.

But if you think Tao Qian would be satisfied with this, then you'd be greatly mistaken.

He must be from the main body division as the Great Demon Child, how could he not understand the ways of extortion?

Just see this fellow, first clicking his tongue twice, rubbing his chin in contemplation, then revealing a face of difficulty:

"The three seniors are indeed as reputed, quite protective of the younger generation."

"However, I, as a disciple, cannot accept all the goodwill from you, just need one type, and can only endure one Source Qi."

"The quantity is not the key, as long as it can allow me to enter the Energy-Introducing Realm."

"What's truly troubling me is the danger here, leaving this barren village, all along the way are vicious demons and frightening anomalies, I am now a tiger fallen into a plain, my life-protecting treasures are stored in a treasure bag yet to recover, if I could temporarily borrow some good treasures, that would be secure."

"To speak honestly, my fellow one notable flaw is 'remembering favors', well-known in the Longevity Realm, I, Tao Qian, repay favors generously."

Having finished, Tao Qian looked expectantly at the three Secret Demons.

The three old demons, all speechless.

The same thought appeared in their hearts: Such a shameless brat!

The four in the scene could say they were all sharp-minded, no need for more acting from Tao Qian, in a blink, understanding his thoughts.

In short!

This fellow, is demanding benefits, besides Source Qi still asking for treasures.

Listening to his tone, recalling the Secret Demon Main Path scenes just now, it's evident that ordinary treasures don't meet his standards.

If a Demon Lord or two-generation ancestor Secret Demon Cultivators were calling them for an "equivalent exchange", that'd make sense.

But a broken-down Demon Child turned mortal, casually setting an array, offering some unappetizing blood food, performing a hand-foot Heavenly Demon Dance… just dares to demand benefits from the three gods and demons?

In other scenarios, this wouldn't be much, a transaction.

But now, it's quite different.

Secret Demon Child setting arrays, offering sacrifices, summoning Secret Demons, seeking Source Qi... This whole ritual follows rules.

The summoned Secret Demons will grant Source Qi based on the "quality and quantity of the blood food", it can be less, but not more.

If more must be given!

The cost, borne by the summoned Secret Demons.

They, clearly there to eat the sacrifices, then reward a few trifles, now have to bleed big? Who can tolerate this?

What's tolerable, what's intolerable.

Among the three Secret Demons, the Gambling Elder was the first to hold his patience, directly spoke with a laugh: "You, merely an Ancestor Land Demon..."

This old demon thought the other two old brothers would follow.

Who knew the next moment, a betrayal occurred.

That Chi Du Elder was the first to interrupt, smiling at Tao Qian saying:

"Good, a fine child."

"So, I'll give you twenty Chi Du Source Qi, and pass you a book of 'All Heavens All Beings Foolish Poison Scripture', plus a jar of Blessing Paste, a bottle of Enchanting Smoke, how about that?"

After finishing, the Gambling Elder immediately discontentedly glared over.

Pity this one who just was backstabbed by second brother, and promptly first brother Evil Lustful Lecher also spoke:

"You and I are of the same path, an instant familiarity, how could I not show anything?"

"I'll grant you a full ten Ten Thousand Desires Origin Qi, as long as your mortal body can endure, tomorrow you'll enter the Qi Refinement Realm."

"I'll also pass you the Great Book of 'Ten Thousand Desires Evil Scripture', you should know, for those of us indulgent and lustful, this scripture is the supreme treasure."

"As for life-protecting treasures?"

"I have many fine items, but most are for amusement and pleasure, not suitable for Protecting Dao and fighting."

"What if, I have a clan under my command called the 'Yin Yang Demons', I can gift you one. Their strength is not inferior to the Great Strength Demons, their Dharma Body is nearly undying, and their divine power techniques are all-encompassing. More importantly, each one is hermaphroditic, able to protect your life and serve your amusement."

The Evil Lustful Lecher proposed this condition, and the Gambling Elder immediately became anxious.

Only then did he realize he was still too thin-skinned. Clearly, there's an opportunity ahead, offering something that barely counts as rare benefits to them would allow him to curry favor with a potentially future Secret Demon Sect Master.

This deal is truly too advantageous to refuse.

As for the price? Previously, he was blinded, no price can compare to the benefits gained after betting on the right treasure.

If this child truly becomes the Secret Demon Revival Master, that would be a great fortune.

Upon realizing this, the Gambling Elder immediately swallowed the rebuke at his lips and, with a smiling face, began to speak:

"Don't be anxious, Demon Child, listen to my words."

"I can gift you a hundred paths of Source Qi and further teach you the 'Heavenly Game Secret Scroll', practicing this, one can calculate precisely, gambling on fate and the heavens."

"As for the life-protection treasure, it's also well-spoken of. In my early years, when I cast and refined the supreme treasure 'Nine Heavens Divine Dice', I had refined a spare one, although its equivalent power is somewhat lacking, it's sufficient to protect your life."

"After obtaining the treasure, if there is any danger, this treasure will proactively alert you."

"If you encounter a thorny enemy, throw this treasure out, as long as it's not the worst side among ninety-nine, you can escape safely."

...

In the blink of an eye, under Tao Qian's inducement, the Three Secret Demons all presented conditions.

In a certain sense, this was already a bidding competition.

If a cultivator who just entered the Secret Demon path saw this scene, they would surely be astounded.

An Undying Demon Child not yet at the Energy-Introducing Realm, receiving such treatment?

Of course, they wouldn't know, even though Tao Qian has already transformed into a mortal, he can still fool the god and demon species, stuffing a big pancake into the mouths of the Three Demons, they must eat.

Who made them all take the wrong path, Tao Qian's "big pancake" as long as there is the slightest chance of becoming real, the Three Elders are willing to try it.

Certainly, the benefits offered are not much for them.

A normal Demon Child would be satisfied by now.

But Tao Qian's appetite wouldn't be so easily satisfied.

Purposely showing a hesitant look, inadvertently he tossed out a bait:

"Three seniors, to be honest, although I entered the Search God Realm, I'm merely passing through, my elders had pre-arranged the path for me long ago, the sect master position is actually... destined."

"However, this realm is dangerous, I need to make a shocking achievement quickly to complete the trial goals, otherwise, there may be variables, and ordinary life-protection items are unlikely to assist me in achieving my desires."

While speaking.

Tao Qian again communicated with the Divination Worm, projecting some scenes that happened earlier in the inferior demon world.

At key points, naturally, Master Xu Yu Zi's blatant favoritism towards him and the indifferent attitude of other masters.

For effect, Tao Qian also deliberately instructed the Divination Worm to cut off the "explanation" after Xu Yu Zi.

The Three Secret Demons, unaware of the inside story, seeing those scenes, immediately felt they have witnessed insider information, all showing a look of sudden realization.

Simultaneously, they understood the subtext of Tao Qian:

The benefits are not enough!

Give more!

This time, those caught in a dilemma were Gambling, Chi Du, and Evil Lustful Lecher, the three elders.

The previous benefits already far exceeded limits, all the costs were paid by them, although not painful, it was uncomfortable.

Now they are asked to raise their stakes again, all three demons hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Tao Qian promptly added: "No worries, three seniors, I only need one to assist me, the kindness of the other two, I will surely remember."

With these words, the Three Secret Demons felt urgency.

Especially the Gambling Elder, he couldn't resist gambling, and this was clearly a gamble, a bet.

After hearing this, his head heated up, he hurriedly wanted to place another bet.

But at this moment, Evil Lustful Lecher interrupted again, taking the lead to say:

"Listen closely, boy!"

"In addition to the original conditions, I will grant you the 'Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow'."

Upon hearing this, all in the field, the two demons and Tao Qian were shocked, turning to look at him.

Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow!

This item is the first companion magical treasure of Evil Lustful Lecher.

Born with him from that Innate Yin Yang Qi, it is indestructible and exquisitely useful.

Such a treasure is not given to others, generally, no one can touch it or sleep on it.

"Big brother, are you mad?"

"Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Can that treasure be given away?"

Not only Gambling and Chi Du, the two god demons felt it was absurd and unbelievable.

Tao Qian was also surprised, despite Gambling Elder previously promising a 'Nine Heavens Divine Dice', but he was full of lies, claiming it to be a backup treasure, was clearly a defective piece, taken to fool Tao Qian.

The Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow is completely different.

The power of this treasure probably already equals the Toad God Tile of his main body, even surpassing it in some marvelous uses.
