I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"You are familiar with those people from Taicang, so just continue to deceive him by using this as a reference for strength. What's the point of seeking my advice for your childish fun?"

As a Taoist Ancestor, Li Xuan naturally couldn't instruct Tian Zi on how to trick people; doing so would tarnish his image as a Taoist Ancestor.

However, he still provided Tian Zi with some ideas.

Deceiving the Blood Demon was to delay the actions of the Imperishable Temple and buy more time.

"You should be wary, he is summoning more Blood Souls."

Li Xuan issued the reminder.

"Don't worry, I am Heavenly Dao, not just anyone can summon Blood Souls at will."

Tian Zi chuckled.

The Dao Principles of the Taicang Domain are very powerful. The Blood Demon had smuggled a weak Blood Soul into it, and that was why he succeeded.

If his true self tried to summon more Blood Souls, it wouldn't be so easy.

The true strength of the Blood Demon's avatar certainly wasn't comparable to that of Taicang.

"Aren't you supposed to be curing him? Reach out to my third disciple then, but she's currently in closed-door cultivation aiming for a breakthrough. Once she's done, let her give you some advice."

After speaking, Li Xuan disappeared from the spot.

Su Lingxiu would undoubtedly be very interested in the Blood Demon and eager to study him.

A light went off in Tian Zi's eyes as he suddenly came up with an idea. Unable to think of many tricks alone, he realized he could seek others' advice.

So, he directly went to Canglan Island and found Xu Junhe.

It just so happened that Kou Ruozhi was also there.

Having interacted with Tian Zi often, Xu Junhe knew that while this incarnation of Heavenly Dao had a youthful nature and was quite playful, he nonetheless did not interfere with the Heavenly Dao Rules and managed to remain impartial.

Now, having trapped an external strong figure, Tian Zi wanted to toy with him and asked for ideas. Xu Junhe naturally wouldn't refuse and proposed a few ideas after a moment's thought.

Then, looking at Kou Ruozhi, he said, "Kou Ruozhi, you are rather cunning and have many bad ideas, why not share some?"

Kou Ruozhi's mouth twitched. How was it that he was considered cunning, and Xu Junhe was not?

With Kou Ruozhi's involvement, Tian Zi immediately became excited. Having people suggest ideas was truly different.

"Understood, I know what to do now."

Tian Zi immediately left, transformed into the appearance of a Herb Collector, and returned to his hut with a basket on his back.

Meanwhile, the Blood Demon was still at the poolside, staring at the two Golden Dragons.

"Those are Little Gold Dragons; I've had them for some time now. Once you recover and need to cultivate, I'll catch a few more from outside, kill them, and stew them for your nourishment."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon's heart thrummed with excitement and fear. True Dragons as powerful as Ao Hong were casually caught and made into stew?

However, the thought of having an opportunity to eat dragon meat comparable to Ao Hong's excited him immensely; his eyes almost burst with bloodlight.

"Senior, are there many dragons in the Great Wilderness?"

"Not many, there should be hundreds of thousands of them. Like these two, with excellent qualities, they are rare. But, there are still quite a few with power like these two.

"Of course, making dragon stew cannot be done ostentatiously as some of the old dragons are very strong, though they guard a place and can't come out temporarily."

Tian Zi bluffed on the fly.

The Blood Demon was inwardly shocked and became more resolved to stay and seize this great opportunity.

As for the mission from the Taicang Domain?

That wasn't important. What mattered was seizing this opportunity, since overtaking Taicang wouldn't allow him to advance further.

But, this opportunity could indeed enable him to progress even further.

"If I cultivate to the Establishing Dao Realm, I will surely surpass Taicang, and even surpass that one!"

Thinking of this, the Blood Demon almost knelt down to kowtow and beg to become a disciple.

But since the Herb Collector did not intend to take him as a disciple, he had to restrain himself and wait until he was "cured" and the Herb Collector imparted the Cultivation Technique to him, then find an opportunity to become a disciple!

Tian Zi placed a Great Ding in the courtyard. This Great Ding was transformed from the Heavenly Dao Rules, and naturally, the Blood Demon could not see through it. He just felt that this Ding was truly extraordinary, a Supreme Treasure he had never seen before!

Under the Great Ding, flames roared fiercely as Tian Zi threw some "herbs" into the Ding. These herbs looked extraordinary, naturally all were transformations from the Heavenly Dao Rules.

Thus, each time Tian Zi threw in a type of herb, the Blood Demon's heart trembled. These herbs were beyond his knowledge, far more mystical than any Divine Medicine he had ever encountered.

The medicinal liquid in the Great Ding boiled, emitting no scent but possessed an indescribable charm swirling within it.

"Alright, get into the Great Ding,"

Tian Zi looked solemnly at the Blood Demon, "Your illness is quite severe, deeply influenced by that one's Dao melody, from flesh to Divine Soul, It calls for strong medication to cure, but once cured, you will also turn misfortune into a blessing and thus transform yourself.

"However, all this is predicated on your ability to endure it. You should know this process is extremely painful and arduous, not just physically but also spiritually."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon understood, "If I endure this, a transformation will occur, my natural talents will greatly improve, I'd succeed in cultivating to the Establishing Dao Realm, and even surpass it.

"This is a great opportunity; I must seize it. What kind of entity is the Blood Demon? A little pain, how could I not bear it!"

The herbs in the Great Ding were extraordinarily mystical; even a fool would know that the liquid in this Ding was precious. As for the pain it entailed, the Blood Demon didn't care at all.

To him, what was a bit of pain? He wasn't new to Martial Arts; what kind of pain couldn't he endure?
