Chapter 259: Chapter 253: Cultivation Hundred Skills: Enchantnt Technique
The question from the enchanting demon girl made Yang Fu realize that he had slightly lost his composure.
He looked towards the girl’s stall, which was very simple compared to the many Demon Clan shops on the comrcial street. The items within were basically only worth a few dozen low-grade spirit stones.
Among them, a large bag of night beans was the most conspicuous.
They were black and about the sa size as the coffee beans bestowed by our ancestors, emitting a faint fragrance, and just like other beans, they were edible.
“I see many from the Demon Clan eating these night beans. Are they tasty?”
“Well~”
...
The enchanting demon girl directly pinched one out and held it in front of Yang Fu.
“Try it~”
This straightforward action startled Yang Shi. Since arriving in Sunshine City, all the demons had been extrely respectful and fearful of him, not daring to overstep their boundaries.
‘This enchanting demon girl seems quite familiar… Perhaps this is the fearlessness of the ignorant.’
The night beans had a skin that could be easily rubbed off, and Yang Fu put one in his mouth… and chewed.
Just an ordinary bean flavor.
Apart from a crisp texture, there was nothing special about it.
“Not bad. Did you grow this big bag yourself?”
“I picked them myself. They’re all over the place. Eating them can fill you up and help you sleep well.”
Hearing the girl say this, Yang Fu also felt a slight drowsiness… His Mingxin Technique, which operated automatically, negated it without the need for him to use his spiritual sense.
This slight effect was only sowhat useful to demons in the fetal breathing stage… it was basically just an ordinary bean to eat.
The two Evil Eyes, noticing Yang Fu’s interest in the beans, took the initiative to explain:
“City Lord, these night beans are a special product of the Demon Clan, born from the absorption of demonic Qi and only appear in places where the Demon Clan lives in large numbers.”
“They can be found both inside and outside the city. The spiritual energy they contain is so thin compared to the spiritual barley and rice we cultivate that their value is very low. Generally, only the poorest at the bottom of society consider these as a staple food…”
The two Evil Eyes knew Yang Fu planned to find so special products from Sunshine City to sell in order to improve the living standards of its inhabitants, so they shared the value of these beans…
Upon hearing this, Yang Fu understood.
Valueless.
Spiritual barley and rice were already the lowest grade of spirit food on the Spirit Miao Continent. Moreover, due to the abundant spiritual energy of the continent, they grew quickly and in large quantities, making their price as inexpensive as that in the Danai Dynasty. Sotis, if the yield was too high, the price would even drop.
Therefore, these night beans, which had no distinctive flavor and scant spiritual energy and even induced drowsiness, had no market. They could not possibly be the specialty he was looking for.
Yang Fu asked the enchanting demon girl, “How much for this big bag of night beans?”
“One stone~ Are you buying it?”
“One stone? A low-grade spirit stone?”
Yang Fu was surprised; this big bag must weigh at least 50 pounds.
“Yeah, you an a mid-grade spirit stone? You’re so silly~~”
The enchanting demon girl wrinkled her nose, thinking that Yang Fu was not very smart.
The Evil Eyes quickly explained:
“City Lord, night bean trees can be seen everywhere and grow without any care. If you’re nimble, you can climb up and pick them, so so of the lower class demons pick night beans to stave off hunger when they have nothing else to eat.”
“She picked more than she needed and is selling so for spirit stones. Though… it’s unlikely anyone would buy them, unless they need to feed a demon beast.”
Yang Fu felt sothing was off as he listened…
He stared at the attractive enchanting demon girl, puzzled.
“Your Enchanting Demon Clan… aren’t you one of the great families of the city? Why are you selling this stuff? Surely, your pocket money is worth more than a few spirit stones?”
The enchanting demon girl said with a gleeful smile, “But if I use my family’s spirit stones, I have to do what the family arranges, and then I’ll lose the freedom I love~ Later, I might even need to serve you respectfully…”
Here, she winked at Yang Fu, “Right? City Lord?”
“You know I’m the City Lord, and you still dare to talk to like this? If I wanted you to serve , you wouldn’t have the power to refuse, would you?”
Yang Fu found this enchanting demon girl rather amusing.
“That’s because you’re a good City Lord~”
“Oh? How do you…”
“Wait! Granny, granny, co over here, I’ve picked so beans for you.”
At this mont, the enchanting demon girl walked towards the roadside, where an aged goblin with wrinkled skin was standing. The girl took out a small bag of night beans and stuffed them into the granny’s hands.
“Granny, you’re old now, don’t go picking night beans anymore. Just take them from , I pick more every day than I can eat anyway.”
“Alright~ alright~ Linlin is such a good child. I haven’t even finished eating the spirit rice the City Lord gave ; I can’t take yours.”
“Mixed in with the rice, it’ll last even longer when cooked~ hehe.”
After stuffing it into the granny’s hands, the enchanting demon girl hopped back cheerfully, her eyes glowing like sapphires.
“Helping Granny Goblin and the others, keeping them from starving… that makes you a good City Lord.”
Hearing this, Yang Fu smiled in surprise.
“So you think the standards for a good City Lord are too low?”
“Is that so? But in the five years City Lord Gongsun has been here, I have never once seen him talk to a low-ranking mber of the Demon Clan on the streets…”
At this mont, Yang Fu thought of Gongsun Taixu’s absurd diary… that man truly had not fulfilled his duties as a City Lord; apart from enjoying his privileges, he did nothing.
Celebrations filled the City Lord Mansion every night—what did the deaths of countless demons have to do with him?
In that instant, Yang Fu felt that Gongsun Taixu’s aged body might also be a punishnt for him…
Since he had accepted the task from the sect, it had to be done well; this was Yang Fu’s code of conduct, and it was also included in one of the 24 ancestral teachings of the Yang Family set down by the old ancestor:
Dedication.
Yang Fu, who had received the sect’s nurturing grace and enjoyed its resources until reaching the Foundation Establishnt Stage, absolutely had to complete this task exceptionally well.
He could not tarnish the na of the acting Pavilion Master of the Earth Spirit Pavilion!
He smiled at the Enchanting Demon girl.
“During my tenure, I will not let another demon die of hunger.”
Having said this, he left. He was determined to manage Sunshine City well in his own way, complete his task, lead the demon race to be self-sufficient, and eliminate hidden dangers in the city.
“Hey!”
Behind him, the crisp voice of the Enchanting Demon girl reached him, and Yang Fu turned around.
“My na is Erin, and I believe in you.”
Yang Fu’s lips slightly curled, and even though he didn’t say anything in response, his mood was greatly uplifted for the entire day.
After patrolling the comrcial district, Yang Fu discovered that the demons of Sunshine City did indeed have a unique racial trait that human cultivators did not,
Enchantnt Technique.
This was a magic that infused magical treasures with Magic Power, granting them a special ability of the demon race that surpassed their own level.
Moreover, this foundation skill was as essential as the human clan’s talismanic technique; every mber of the Demon Clan mastered at least the basic Enchantnt Techniques of their own race, each with their unique characteristics.
Yang Fu asked a demon craftsman nad Yan Demon Sheep to enchant his Glazed Fire Bottle.
“Wow~ A treasure! Lord City Lord, your generosity is indeed extraordinary!”
Yan Demon Sheep held the Glazed Fire Bottle in his hand, and he could not put it down.
After playing with it for a while, he then asked,
“Which kind of enchantnt would the Lord City Lord like?”
He pointed at the talisman papers posted on his doorstep, indicating the three types of enchantnt techniques he could perform and their respective effects.
[Blazing Demon Fla: Change the Five Elents of the magical treasure to Fire Elent. If it is an offensive magical treasure, enhance the power of Fire Elent Techniques. If it is a defensive magical treasure, improve resistance to Fire Elent Techniques.]
[Yama’s Eye: Grants the treasure the racial skill of the Yan Demon Sheep, allowing it to see through illusions and lock onto the enemy’s soul.]
[Evil Spirit Punishnt Device: Causes great pain to the souls of living beings and is often used on punishnt devices.]
All three enchantnts were quite distinctive.
Yang Fu was seeing these Enchantnt Techniques for the first ti and was imdiately fascinated by them.
The [Blazing Demon Fla] had little effect on the Glazed Fire Bottle, given that it was already a pure Fire Elent Magical Treasure, and its Five Elents did not need changing. rely augnting its power was not very noticeable.
‘The [Evil Spirit Punishnt Device] enchantnt sounds like… Uncle Hu would love it.’
Thus, there was only one most suitable choice left.
“Enchant it with [Yama’s Eye] for . I want to experience the Talent of the Yan Demon Sheep race.”
“You do have good taste, Lord City Lord! Even the Demon Lord cannot stop praising the Talent of my Yan Demon Sheep race!”
His sheep horns atop his head glowed slightly red, and symbols of the demon race appeared in the air, complex and indecipherable, impossible to discern their anings.
These symbols were imprinted one by one onto the Glazed Fire Bottle, and purple-red sigils started to appear on it, with its quality continually improving…
Listening to old Yan Demon Sheep blow his own trumpet, two Evil Eyes began to educate Yang Fu.
“The Yan Demon Sheep race is notoriously petty… Once soone provokes them, they are bound to rember your soul with Yama’s Eye and thereafter, even if they have to chase to the ends of the earth, they must have their revenge.”
“Therefore, in the Demon World, the Yan Demon Sheep are known for holding grudges. If you don’t want the entire Yan Demon Sheep race to bear a grudge against you, it’s best to just kill them outright.”
After listening, Yang Fu chuckled.
“Interesting… If I had this enchantnt, I could also pursue my enemies to the ends of the earth.”
This item, Yang Fu thought, would be best sent to his father and the others. If they encountered the Demon Clan from the Night Demon Palace again, they could use Yama’s Eye to lock on, leaving no place to escape. When searching for a specific demon, it would be more useful than the Demon Seeking Technique.
‘At this year’s ancestor worship, I’ll have my father send so magical treasures here to be enchanted, and I’ll send them back at next year’s worship.’
As ti went by, Yan Demon Sheep also carved out one demon race symbol after another.
A full half-hour later… the Glazed Fire Bottle flashed with purple light, and its Spiritual Power rose.
“The enchantnt is complete, Lord City Lord!”
Yang Fu took back his Glazed Fire Bottle. Holding the bottle, the demon race symbols shimred faintly, and a tinge of purple appeared in Yang Fu’s eyes.
Boom!
In that mont, all the demons around him looked like skulls with ghostly flas flickering in his sight.
