Chapter 428 404: Where Did This Riff-Raff Come From?

Song Ciwan later figured that there were several reasons why Gu Peng's Malice was so "valuable."

First, his Malice had reached the standard of Qi Over Five Jin, and Qi Over Five Jin was supposed to be different.

Second, Gu Peng was, after all, a Celestial Pride Level Demon. He wasn't a pure-blooded member of the Golden Lion Race; he also possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Beast, the Suanni.

Third, it must have been related to the Ancient Divine Insect Race. After all, Gu Peng was Refining a Golden Core, and a dormant Egg of the Ancient Divine Insect Race was parasitic within that Golden Core!

When Song Ciwan sold it, she likely hadn't just sold Gu Peng's Malice, but also that of the Ancient Divine Insect Race!

And now, her Lifespan had reached 227,100 years. It seemed she wasn't far from two full epochs.

Life was truly full of surprises.

Song Ciwan had a faint feeling that she had just discovered a grand new highway to rapidly increasing her Lifespan.

She suppressed these wild thoughts and reined in her emotions. For the next three days, she didn't trade anything away.

It wasn't that she wanted to waste the Heaven and Earth Scale's trading opportunities, but she was simply too "stuffed." She couldn't handle any more and needed to properly digest her gains.

At a time like this, Song Ciwan couldn't even trade for Cultivation time to help with the digestion process.

She had to cultivate and adjust honestly in the real world to achieve unity between time, space, her Divine Soul, and her body.

There were so many good things on the Heaven and Earth Scale right now that Song Ciwan didn't dare to sell them. It was a rather absurd situation.

Three days later, Song Ciwan had mostly readjusted herself and finally opened the Heaven and Earth Scale once more.

[You have sold the demonic corpse of the Celestial Pride Level Golden Lion Demon, which was host to an Ancient Divine Insect Race Golden Core, and obtained one Demon Core Stage Fake Suanni Puppet.]

Demon Core Stage Fake Suanni Puppet: This Puppet has the strength of the Demon Core Stage. It possesses the Suanni's Divine Techniques: Devouring, Calmness, and Exorcism. Its strength can grow.

This reward felt both reasonable and unexpected to Song Ciwan.

After selling the corpse of the Golden Lion Demon Gu Peng, who was filled with Chaotic Evil Qi, she had actually obtained a Suanni Puppet possessing the abilities of Calmness and Exorcism!

'The Heaven and Earth Scale is truly wondrous.'

Song Ciwan released the Suanni Puppet from the Scale, then spent another three days to complete its Refinement and make it her own.

Although this Suanni Puppet was a Puppet, its form was like that of a living Suanni.

From its furry body to the look in its eyes, it gave off the impression of a living creature, unlike the Iron Puppets and Wooden Puppets Song Ciwan had owned before, which one could tell were mechanical puppets at a single glance.

However, this Suanni Puppet's fur was entirely white, distinguishing it from the legendary Divine Beast Suanni, which was covered in golden fur.

When it lay quietly by Song Ciwan's side, it exuded a gentle tranquility like a jade carving, a truly beautiful sight.

Song Ciwan ordered the Suanni Puppet to cast its Calmness Divine Technique and discovered that the Suanni Puppet's calming ability was far more powerful than that of the Concentration Jade Pottery.

When it came to cultivating a tranquil mind, it could be considered a first-rate item for suppressing one's Heart Demon.

Song Ciwan's mind calmed down as well, and she continued to operate the Heaven and Earth Scale.

[You have sold the Death Qi from the death of the Celestial Pride Level Golden Lion Demon, which was host to an Ancient Divine Insect Race Golden Core—five jin and nine taels—and obtained the Top Grade Magical Treasure, the Poison King Cauldron.]

Poison King Cauldron: This cauldron can raise, breed, and control insects, transforming them into Poisonous Insects for one's own use. This cauldron is upgradable. Current status: Top Grade Magical Treasure. By offering eighty-one top-tier Poisonous Insects, it can be promoted to a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact.

The Heaven and Earth Scale's description of the Poison King Cauldron was both simple and detailed. Its connection to insects couldn't help but set one's imagination running.

Song Ciwan quickly took out the Poison King Cauldron for Refinement. With her current Cultivation, refining this Top Grade Magical Treasure only took half an hour—a world of difference compared to before.

The Poison King Cauldron was completely empty; there were no insects inside it yet.

Her discarded Five Poison Jar, on the other hand, was full of insects, but she had given it to the Big White Goose to use as a granary. She had no intention of collecting the Black Insects from the Five Poison Jar for her new Poison King Cauldron.

'No rush. There will be plenty of opportunities to fill it with all sorts of insects later.'

After finishing the Refinement of the Poison King Cauldron, Song Ciwan put it away and continued to operate the Heaven and Earth Scale.

[You have sold the demon's heart—the terror, fury, and fear of the Celestial Pride Level Golden Lion Demon which was host to an Ancient Divine Insect Race Golden Core—three jin and eight taels—and obtained the Demon Race Cultivation Technique, the Celestial Demon Suppression Record.]

A Demon Race Cultivation Technique, the Celestial Demon Suppression Record!

In an instant, countless diagrams descended upon her from the ether.

They were accompanied by all sorts of Qi Blood circulation paths, methods for channeling Demonic Power, ways to activate Divine Techniques, and means of tracing bloodlines...

The most important part, however, was the various images within those diagrams.

There were flying birds and running beasts; a mountain lord leaping through the forest; a spirit fox breathing in the moonlight; a fish jumping from the water; a divine eagle soaring across the sky.

In the natural jungle, beast fought beast, and demon fought demon.

It was kill or be killed, the weak prey for the strong—an ancient, savage world filled with a grim, ferocious aura.

Song Ciwan had never received a Cultivation Technique like this before. Never!

She was Human, not a Demon.

'Even if the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting can simulate all the Cultivation Techniques of the Human Race, could it really allow me, a human, to cultivate a Demon Technique?'

Song Ciwan had thought it impossible, but as the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting began to operate, she suddenly had a moment of enlightenment: she could cultivate the Demon Technique. She really could!

She watched as the path of True Qi in her body began to change, as if it were about to forcibly learn the ways of some eagle-type Demon Beast. Suddenly, a jolt went through her, and she snapped out of her shocked stupor.

She let out a breath and opened her eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. 'For the first time, I feel like my comprehension being too strong isn't necessarily a good thing.'

'It's not like I'm short on Cultivation Techniques. I can't even get through all the Human Race ones, so why would I bother cultivating one from the Demon Race?'

'It would make more sense to teach it to the Big White Goose!'

Song Ciwan stood up, put away the Han Guang Glaze Residence, and walked out of the Cultivation Room with the Suanni Puppet.

Outside the Cultivation Room, the world within her cave abode was still one of flowers, hot springs, and the chirping of birds.

The Big White Goose had its wings tucked in and was taking stately strides, patrolling the area. It held its neck high, looking proud and full of spirit, with a flock of chattering Cyan Feathered Birds trailing behind it. The sight was incredibly smug.

Seeing this, Song Ciwan laughed from a distance.

The Big White Goose was extremely sensitive to her voice. It immediately turned its head and came running wildly toward her, flapping its wings.

A gust of wind behind its wings lifted it up. The Big White Goose half-flew, half-ran, honking with joy, "HONK HONK HONK! GACK GACK GACK!"

But halfway through its calls, the Big White Goose's gaze suddenly met that of the white-furred Suanni by Song Ciwan's side.

"HONK!"

"GACK!"

The honking instantly turned shrill, piercing the heavens.

It scared the Cyan Feathered Birds that had been following it in an orderly fashion, causing them to flap their wings and scatter in all directions.

For a moment, it was chaos—birds flying, the goose hopping, and goose feathers flying everywhere.

"HONK HONK HONK!"

"GACK GACK GACK!"

The Big White Goose was filled with indignation. Its already puffed-out chest looked like it was about to explode with rage.

It stomped its goose feet and charged straight at Song Ciwan, "GACK GACK GACK!" No words were needed; its honks clearly expressed its thoughts: 'Aaaah! This goose is so mad! Where did this little furball come from, daring to steal Wanwan from me?'
