Naturally, Jiang Xiangwen's matter can only be put on hold temporarily.
There is definitely a huge difference between half-demon and real demon clan.
Moreover, Jiang Xiangwen has been a human being for so many years, and the instinct of the demon clan has probably been suppressed long ago. Relying on the natural awakening of instinct is obviously unreliable.
It may not be easy to awaken the bloodline of the demon clan and embark on the path of cultivation again.
But at least there is one more possibility.
Jiang Xiangwen suddenly changed from decadent to energetic.
There is really a big difference between having hope and having no hope.
The affairs in Xiyang County were basically settled, and Lin Xi and the others were preparing to leave for the Qingyun Sect.
Although he didn't accomplish anything big this time, Lin Xi's name was successfully spread throughout the Qingyun Sect, and even the elders who had been in seclusion for many years knew about it.
There is no other reason, because Lin Xi saved a lot of losses for Qingyun Sect.
In addition, it also dealt a blow to the reputation of the Sword Sect.
Given the relationship between the two sects, Qingyun Sect would not mind severely attacking Jian Sect verbally.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Xi received a large reward from the Qingyun Sect. The eight million spirit stones made everyone envious, but Lin Xi herself didn't feel anything special.
Eight million, a lot.
When he returned to Qingyun Sect, he was naturally rewarded and praised as usual.
Lin Xi first returned to her cave to prepare to settle down with Jiang Xiangwen.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to enter the Qingyun Sect in my lifetime." Jiang Xiangwen said with emotion.
I have been a casual cultivator for so long, and I am not even qualified to take a look at the gate of Qingyun Sect.
Unexpectedly, now that I have become a disabled person, I can enter the Qingyun Sect.
Lin Xi said: "You are a mortal now and there is no way to join the Qingyun Sect. For now, stay in my cave and take care of the spirit beasts and guard the gate. I will help you find any information about the half-demon."
"Thank you, senior, for not taking it personally." Jiang Xiangwen said respectfully.
"There's no need to call me senior." Lin Xi waved her hand: "I always feel like calling me old is very uncomfortable."
Jiang Xiangwen thought for a while and suddenly knelt down: "Master, please accept me."
Lin Xi was stunned.
What kind of expansion is this?
"Master first saved my life, and then tried to find a way to help me practice practice again. No matter whether I can succeed or not, I am willing to serve you as a disciple, serving tea and water. If there is even the slightest bit of disloyalty, I will be punished by heaven and earth."
"this......"
"I hope Master will not dislike this disciple." Jiang Xiangwen kowtowed heavily.
Lin Xi scratched his head.
He really wasn't mentally prepared for this.
"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it." Lin Xi waved her hand and said.
He felt that he was just a foundation-building disciple and was really not qualified to accept a disciple.
And he really has no interest in taking on apprentices.
Jiang Xiangwen was a little helpless, but he still nodded.
He is not stupid.
The important principle as a casual practitioner is to seize every opportunity.
Naturally, he was very grateful to Lin Xi in his heart, but it was impossible to say that the reason for his apprenticeship had nothing to do with Lin Xi being the true successor of the Qingyun Sect.
After approaching the cave, a huge purple-scaled snake head emerged from the cave. Its pupils were extremely cold, and the snake letter exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
"Ahhh! Monster." Jiang Xiangwen was so frightened that his buttocks urinated.
Lin Xi frowned: "What are you doing? Frighten me and turn into a human form."
The purple-scaled snake twisted and then quickly shrunk, turning into a rather monstrous man in purple, with a cold expression and a bit of arrogance.
But soon, the arrogance on the face of the man in purple disappeared helplessly and turned into humility.
He knelt down on one knee respectfully: "Master."
The purple-scaled snake was originally invited by King Lao Peng to deal with Lin Xi, but was suppressed and finally subdued by Lin Xi. Now he is responsible for guarding the cave.
"That's pretty much it." Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Xiangwen looked frightened.
The appearance of the purple-scaled snake is really scary.
Did it turn out to be Master’s demon pet?
"By the way, he will guard the cave with you from now on." Lin Xi pointed at Jiang Xiangwen.
Zi Lin was slightly startled.
Originally, he was not happy to guard the cave for Lin Xi.
But there is no way, the situation is forcing it.
But now you tell me that there is someone who wants to guard the cave with me? What do you mean? Do you think that I am not capable enough to guard the cave?
This made the purple-scaled snake feel very insulted.
Especially when he discovered that what Lin Xi brought back was actually a mortal.
unacceptable!
It's so insulting to snakes.
"Just him? Guard the cave with me?" The purple-scaled snake still couldn't hold it back. The pride in his heart did not allow him to accept a useless mortal as equal to himself.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "I made a mistake."
The purple-scaled snake felt relieved.
That's pretty much it.
"He is not only responsible for guarding the cave, but also helping me manage the spiritual beasts and insects, including you. From now on, you will obey his orders, do you understand?" Lin Xi said lightly.
The big purple-scaled snake was stunned and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Master, are you kidding me?"
Lin Xi said: "Do you look at me like I'm joking?"
"But......"
"But what!" Lin Xi's face darkened: "You are the master and I am the master?"
The corners of the purple-scaled snake's eyes twitched, and the entire monster's face was twisted together at the moment, looking quite happy.
He took a deep breath and slowly bent his knees: "Yes, Master."
Naturally, I chose to give in.
After all, my life is in Lin Xi's hands.
Lin Xi could destroy both his body and mind with just one thought.
"Very good." Lin Xi nodded, then he looked at Jiang Xiangwen and said, "Do you know?"
Jiang Xiangwen nodded hastily: "I know, I know."
Lin Xi then separated a strand of the purple-scaled serpent's soul that she had mastered and sealed it into a god-conferring talisman, and gave it to Jiang Xiangwen. As long as Jiang Xiangwen crushed the god-conferring talisman, it would cause huge damage to the purple-scaled snake.
Of course he couldn't die. Lin Xi would not put the life of the monster that protects his house in the hands of others.
But this is enough to scare the purple-scaled snake.
Zi Lin watched helplessly as Lin Xi handed the Divine Talisman to Jiang Xiangwen, with an expression of sadness and indignation on his face.
Being surrendered by the true successor of the Qingyun Sect, it was still okay.
Being driven by a mortal, he was completely unable to survive in the demon world.
Lin Xi felt Zi Lin's resentment, glanced at him, and said lightly: "The demon blood in his body may not be worse than yours. Don't be so dissatisfied. Maybe he will be better than you in the future."
The purple-scaled snake was a little surprised.
He is an ancient alien species with extremely extraordinary bloodline.
I didn't expect Lin Xi to say that.
"Half demon?" Zi Lin reacted immediately and stared at Jiang Xiangwen for a long time: "It does seem to have some smell of demon blood, but it is very weak."
Because the bloodline has not yet awakened, it cannot be sensed without careful perception.
Generally, the demon clan is very repulsive to half-demon.
But the purple-scaled serpent is different. Because it is a strange monster and does not belong to a clan, its connection with the monster clan is not deep, so it does not have much prejudice against half-demon.
"Do you know which demon clan the demon blood on his body comes from?" Lin Xi asked.
Zi Lin was stunned for a moment, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and then he asked cautiously: "Master, could it be that this person's demon blood comes from some great demon royal family?"
