Record of a Demon’s Cultivation

Upon returning to his cave residence, Song Wen began examining the contents of the jade slip.

 

In the past five years, the Corpse Demon Sect had produced a total of seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, among whom four were direct disciples. Song Wen ruled out these four immediately.

 

Direct disciples, once they advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, automatically become Devil Sons or Devil Daughters, who are key targets for the Sect’s cultivation. They are likely to have the opportunity to advance to the Golden Core stage, making them high-risk targets.

 

Among the remaining three, there were two women and one man, all of whom achieved Foundation Establishment as inner sect disciples.

 

Of these three, the man’s experience in Foundation Establishment was the most unusual.

 

This man was named Chen Feihe. The jade slip contained his likeness—a very handsome man with a somewhat feminine appearance in his attire and demeanor.

 

Chen Feihe was actually the favored concubine of a Golden Core ancestor of the Corpse Demon Sect. Thanks to the ancestor’s favor, he received a continuous supply of resources and precious Foundation Establishment pills, allowing him to achieve Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty-seven.

 

Relying on his relationship with the Golden Core ancestor for his Foundation Establishment was not unusual in the cultivation world, but the key point was...

 

The Golden Core ancestor named Ban Yu was a robust man with a full beard.

 

The other two female cultivators had more straightforward experiences. They relied on their own hard work to break through to the peak of Qi Refining, repeatedly teetering on the edge of life and death, making great contributions to the sect, and were rewarded with Foundation Establishment pills to achieve Foundation Establishment.

 

These two female cultivators had fought their way up from the very bottom, displaying exceptional skills and resilience.

 

In contrast, Chen Feihe was just a soft target.

 

However, with a Golden Core ancestor as his backing, he was not someone to be underestimated.

 

After careful consideration, Song Wen decided to focus on Chen Feihe.

 

The two female cultivators were either deeply immersed in their own cultivation or performing sect tasks, making it difficult to contact them.

 

Chen Feihe, on the other hand, was relatively easy to approach. Because his cultivation was entirely dependent on the pills given by the Golden Core ancestor and he didn’t need to perform sect tasks, he had plenty of time to wander around every day.

 

To maintain the Golden Core ancestor’s favor, Chen Feihe often strolled through the market, buying cosmetics, clothing, and other things to ensure he remained fresh in the ancestor’s eyes.

 

Occasionally, he would also visit the brothels in the market to learn some flirtatious gestures from the women there, hoping to please the Golden Core ancestor.

Five days later, in the evening.

 

A graceful figure strolled through the market, wearing a green robe and holding a folding fan, moving lightly and elegantly, surrounded by a fragrant aura, exhaling like orchids.

 

With a seductive charm and graceful demeanor, he outshone many women in the market.

 

Song Wen looked at the enchanting Chen Feihe and couldn’t help but marvel. It was clear that someone who could captivate a Golden Core ancestor had his exceptional qualities.

 

Despite being a man, Chen Feihe carried a feminine allure, causing many people in the market to look at him with sideways glances.

 

Chen Feihe, indifferent to these looks of disdain, disgust, or contempt, walked with composure, swaying his waist as he browsed one women's clothing and cosmetic shop after another.

 

Regardless of how others viewed him, he had truly become a Foundation Establishment cultivator whom many lower-level cultivators looked up to.

 

He could fly with his sword, soaring freely between heaven and earth, feeling the freedom of the wind.

 

With a lifespan of over two hundred and fifty years, those who scorned him would eventually turn to dust, while he would still be enjoying the scenery.

 

He smiled lightly at others’ slanders and ridicule.

 

The path of cultivation is vast and varied; regardless of the methods used, as long as one can survive in the cultivation world and gain a longer lifespan, it is the correct path.

 

Chen Feihe wore a proud expression, watching the passersby who clearly looked down on him but dared not show it, instead putting on a respectful front. This made him feel very pleased.

 

As he exited a cosmetics shop, he encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator approaching him.

 

The newcomer cupped his hands in greeting, his expression carrying a hint of respect, and spoke.

 

“Zhang Cheng greets Elder Chen of the Corpse Demon Sect.”

 

Chen Feihe looked at the man before him.

 

This middle-aged male cultivator had only recently entered the Foundation Establishment stage and was a newcomer among Foundation Establishment cultivators. He was certainly much stronger than Chen Feihe, who had achieved Foundation Establishment solely through the aid of pills and had never experienced real danger.

 

Chen Feihe felt no particular wariness toward this self-recommending middle-aged cultivator.

 

After all, in the territory of the Corpse Demon Sect, who didn’t know that Chen Feihe was close to a Golden Core ancestor? He had been with the sect for over ten years, and since aligning himself with the Golden Core ancestor, no one had dared to provoke him.

 

On the contrary, Chen Feihe felt a faint sense of familiarity with the man claiming to be Zhang Cheng.

 

This was because Zhang Cheng also wore light makeup and carried a touch of a feminine aura.

 

“Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?” Chen Feihe asked with a calm expression.

 

Song Wen said, “I’m a newly arrived rogue cultivator here. I’ve heard that Elder Chen has a fondness for cosmetics, and since I share this interest, I hoped to make your acquaintance.”

 

Chen Feihe was intrigued. It was the first time he had met someone with a similar interest.

 

He raised his eyebrows, examining Song Wen with a seductive gaze.

 

“Oh? You also have an interest in cosmetics!”

 

Song Wen felt somewhat uncomfortable under Chen Feihe’s alluring gaze and quickly responded.

 

“This place is too crowded and noisy for conversation. Elder Chen, would you be willing to discuss this further at the Spring Breeze Pavilion ahead?”

 

The Spring Breeze Pavilion was the largest brothel in the market, known for its seductive female cultivators and strong, robust male cultivators.

 

Upon receiving Song Wen’s sudden invitation, Chen Feihe’s brows slightly furrowed, and he felt a twinge of caution.

 

However, thinking about the power behind the Spring Breeze Pavilion and the strong Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed there, he relaxed his guard.

 

“Since Fellow Daoist Zhang is so warmly inviting me, let’s go to the Spring Breeze Pavilion.”

 

“However, it must be in the main hall.”

 

One must always be cautious!

 

Chen Feihe, after agreeing to Song Wen’s invitation, added this precaution.

 

Song Wen smiled, stepped aside, and gestured, “Elder Chen, please!”

 

The two then went to the main hall of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.

 

Song Wen, in a generous manner, ordered two pots of high-quality spirit tea.

 

Chen Feihe took a sip of the spirit tea, his movements elegant, like a refined lady.

 

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, you’ve gone through the trouble of inviting me to the Spring Breeze Pavilion and offering me this fine spirit tea. What is the purpose of this meeting? Please speak plainly.”

 

Song Wen’s gaze sharpened. It was clear that Chen Feihe, who could captivate a Golden Core ancestor, was not just relying on his appearance but was also quite astute.

 

He smiled and said, “Elder Chen, you are overthinking it. I genuinely wish to befriend you. I have a set of items to enhance romantic activities. I’d appreciate it if you could evaluate them.”

 

Saying this, Song Wen presented a storage bag.

 

Chen Feihe looked somewhat suspicious but took the storage bag and used his spiritual sense to probe inside.

 

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face, his eyes gleaming with amazement, and his mouth slightly open as he exclaimed.

 

“These intimate garments are so exquisite and novel. Where did you acquire them?”
