Chapter 49 Fragrant Cold Spring
The yellow dog demon looked completely bewildered, tears still streaming down its face: "Daoist Master, what's so good about it?"
Lu Changgeng calmly asked, "May I ask you, how many years have you been cultivating?"
The yellow dog demon paused for a moment, then counted on its paws: "After I gained sentience, I wandered around and eventually occupied this cave. I estimate it's been over six hundred years."
"Do you have a Daoist partner?"
The yellow dog demon's ears drooped down, and it said in a muffled voice, "No... My magic power is weak, and I don't have any suitable magic tools. I even picked up a decent Taoist robe... The female demons in the clan don't even glance at me when they pass by, let alone find me a Taoist partner. I've been living alone for the past six hundred years."
After hearing this, Lu Changgeng casually conjured a water mirror and hung it in front of the yellow dog demon, saying, "Look."
The yellow dog demon stared at its own reflection, momentarily mesmerized.
Do you think you look beautiful right now?
"beautiful……"
"Do you rank among the top in your clan?"
"She's more than just on the list; I even think she's more beautiful than the female demons in the clan." The yellow dog demon stared at his face in the mirror again and again, and an absurd thought surged into his mind: he wished he could find himself as a Daoist partner.
"That's right! Your cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm before. In this Xiniu Hezhou, you're nothing but a fart. Without resources or foundation, how can you compete with others? Are you really willing to spend the rest of your life in this cramped stone cave, alone and miserable?"
If one cannot overcome the approaching end of their lifespan and encounters the Five Signs of Decay, wouldn't a demon simply die here in despair? Even in the underworld, they would be a pathetic ghost.
"What the Taoist priest means is..."
The yellow dog demon stopped crying and looked at its own watery dog eyes in the water mirror, feeling that even looking at a dog was full of affection.
"Now that you have such beauty, you should make good use of it. Which demon king wouldn't take a second look at you? Those demon kings have handfuls of spiritual fruits and magical artifacts, guarding mountains upon mountains of cultivation resources, but what do they lack? Beautiful women. Just stand there, smile, and call out 'Your Majesty,' and they'll feed you spiritual fruits right away. Cultivation resources will be within your grasp!"
Lu Changgeng spoke with great enthusiasm, adding, "We cultivators defy the heavens, prioritizing the path to immortality and the foundation of immortality. How can we be hindered by the distinction between male and female? Besides, if one becomes a Great Luo Immortal, one can even reshape their golden body!"
Of course, Lu Changgeng was just making things up, but his words still left the yellow dog demon completely bewildered.
The latter's eyes gradually lit up as he listened, and he became very interested.
She looked down and suddenly realized that the two heavy things in her chest weren't so awkward anymore.
"Taoist Master, you're right!" The yellow dog demon was excited, but then suddenly sighed as if he had thought of something.
Seeing this, Lu Changgeng assumed that the other party had realized he was talking nonsense and thought to himself, "It seems this dog demon is not easy to fool."
Just as she was thinking of what else to say, she heard the yellow dog demon sigh, "Alas! If only I had met you two hundred years earlier, Master, I... I wouldn't have had to deceive people here, gaining nothing and living in fear every day..."
Well! Turns out, the scam was a complete failure.
Lu Changgeng raised an eyebrow: "It's alright, it's only been two hundred years. It's not too late for us to meet now. You can leave this place and go to those great demon kings to seek... opportunities."
"Thank you for your guidance, Daoist Master." The yellow dog demon bowed deeply, then straightened up and, after receiving Lu Changgeng's approval, climbed out of the spring.
Now it was Lu Changgeng's turn to hesitate. He was considering whether to go down or not. The same source energy he sensed was at the bottom of the spring, and the demonic infant in his body was almost out of control.
"Please wait outside while I go down to take a look."
After thinking for a while, Lu Changgeng decided to go down anyway. He left those words behind and stepped into the spring amidst the dazed look in the yellow dog demon's eyes.
As soon as he entered, the chilling power of the spring water instantly surged through his body, and Lu Changgeng's magical power began to surge uncontrollably.
From the depths of the spring, wisps of pure white energy instantly rose from the bottom of the spring, as if they had found their long-lost home, rushing towards the demon infant and the chicken it was holding.
The white aura was thick and milky, emanating from it, yet it also carried the aura of the true fire of the sun, leaving Lu Changgeng completely bewildered.
After the chicken inhaled the white vapor, the fine golden scales on its three-legged body began to shimmer on and off, and a faint white light appeared on the edge of its beak.
The white light spread from the bird's beak to its neck, and then from its neck to its wings, making the outline of each spot more solid.
The basketball-shaped bulge on its head also emitted a white light, flickering on and off.
Fifteen minutes later...
The white mist continued to pour in, and the demon infant sat cross-legged, guiding the white mist into its dantian.
At this moment, Lu Changgeng was completely relaxed. He didn't know what to do, so he left everything to the demon infant, letting that power permeate into the demon infant and into every inch of its meridians.
However, at this moment, his body also began to gradually change.
The bones began to make very faint crackling sounds, the shoulders slowly narrowed, and a faint tension rose in the chest.
His limbs and bones felt as if they were being reassembled. He looked down at his hands and saw that his fingers were becoming longer, thinner, and whiter at a speed visible to the naked eye, truly delicate jade fingers.
He spread his hands on the milky white water, watching those unfamiliar hands ripple gently in the water, their fingertips rounded and their nails pink.
The changes spread from my fingertips to my whole body, making me feel like a player character, with every part of me being reshaped.
However, the feeling was not painful, and the process was very natural. Lu Changgeng found it amazing. If this spring had been in Siam in his previous life, it would definitely have been treasured.
I reached out and touched my face. My cheekbones were softer, my brows were smoother, and my eyelashes were long enough to touch my fingertips.
She looked down at her chest again; the soaked black robe clung to her body, outlining a slender curve that wasn't very pronounced, but was undeniably real.
"...It's alright, there's a C."
He then touched below his waist; it was gone, as expected.
At this moment, Lu Changgeng suddenly remembered a joke he made with his roommates in college in his previous life: What would you do if you woke up one morning and suddenly turned into a woman?
He chuckled and didn't continue studying his new appearance. Instead, he focused all his divine sense into the demonic infant and the bottom of the spring within his body.
At this moment, only one or two tenths of the white mist remained at the bottom of the spring, and the cold, yin energy in the spring seemed to have dissipated by more than half.
Only then did Lu Changgeng dare to probe the spring with his divine sense...
"I am..."
Lu Changgeng was taken aback. He suddenly sensed divine thoughts emanating from the spring, intermittently.
He immediately focused his mind and carefully sensed the lingering thoughts emanating from the spring.
"I am Xiang Leng, from the Nine Suns..."
The fall caused severe injuries, and the body's yin and yang were reversed...
What was once a scalding hot soup has now transformed into a cold spring...
"The Yang Spring transforms into Yin, hence the male enters into the transformation of the female, which is not my original intention..."
