Just when Pei Wende went to the Main Hall to settle accounts with Zen Master Lingyou.
A small green snake suddenly emerged from under the waterfall where he was practicing. There was a hint of human confusion in its cold eyes.
"hiss……"
As a snake demon who has been practicing for nearly a hundred years, Green Snake's perception and control of demonic energy are among the best among its kind.
It is precisely because of this transcendent talent that Green Snake dares to fight against the tiger whose cultivation is far beyond his own, and steals magic under the nose of Zen Master Lingyou.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the green snake restrains its evil spirit with all its strength, it will be no different from an ordinary little snake.
Not to mention, after the battle at Mulian Temple, Green Snake also obtained the "Thousand-faced Painted Skin", a top demon cultivation treasure, and his perception and control of demonic energy can be said to be a higher level.
"hiss……"
But now, Green Snake discovered that there was a vague evil spirit spreading near Weishan.
If Green Snake hadn't been an expert in sensing and controlling demonic energy, it might not have been able to capture the weak, almost non-existent demonic energy fluctuations.
It was very sure that it was not its own illusion, that there was some kind of "natural" monster snooping and wandering near Weishan.
"hiss……"
After thinking for a short time, Green Snake couldn't hold back his curiosity after all.
So after making sure that there was no one else around, Green Snake's body suddenly squirmed and twisted, and turned into a naked and handsome "young man"?
"hiss……"
Since most of its body was submerged underwater, it was impossible to tell the green snake's specific gender just from its vague sexual characteristics.
And this is indeed the case. For the green snake who relies on the "Thousand Faces Painted Skin" to become a human being, the gender difference between men and women has no meaning at all.
Just because of long-term contact with and observation of Pei Wende, although Green Snake has not yet realized the concept of human gender, a hint of Pei Wende can be vaguely seen on his face.
"Is this... just... a... person...?"
Imitating Pei Wende's voice, Green Snake spoke for the first time and expressed his thoughts after "transforming" word by word.
This is a very wonderful experience. Green Snake, who has never had limbs, is not used to his sudden extra limbs, but he has to admit that these sudden extra limbs are very useful.
As his hands formed a standard meditation seal, layers of delicate green snake scales suddenly began to appear on the surface of the green snake.
"No...right..., these...are not...human...'clothes'..."
Green Snake, whose voice became more and more fluent, muttered in dissatisfaction after seeing the green snake scales on the surface of his body.
So in the next second, those cyan scales turned into a green gown, but the style was no different from the gown Pei Wende usually wore.
"That's...right!"
Nodding with satisfaction, the young man in Tsing Yi, who felt that he was already almost human, imitated Pei Wende's example and tried his best to paddle his limbs and swim to the shore little by little.
"It turns out...this is...upright!"
With a slight smile on his lips, the young man in green looked back at the boulder under the waterfall, as if he saw Pei Wende meditating on it.
"You are my 'opportunity'..."
Not to mention the sermons of Zen Master Lingyou that can only be heard after Pei Wende, the "thousand-faced painting skin" that he is wearing now is inseparable from Pei Wende.
It has taken decades to reach this point. The young man in Tsing Yi naturally knows how valuable this kind of "opportunity" is.
At the very least, the young man in Tsing Yi will never allow anyone to destroy his "opportunity" until he has completely secretly learned Zen Master Lingyou's practice method.
"I want to see what kind of monster dares to peek at my 'opportunity'."
After gently swaying his lumbar spine, the young man in green, who was not used to walking on his legs, just smiled softly, and then walked straight into the deeper mountain forest.
swish swish...
He was obviously walking on two legs in a human-like manner, but from the back of the young man in green who was gradually retreating, there was a sound like a snake crawling.
From beginning to end, the young man in green is just a "snake spirit" rather than a "snake demon".
My spiritual wisdom is greatly expanded, and I started to practice only "jing".
The nine orifices have been completed, and the "demon" is transformed into a human form.
It has only been a hundred years since Green Snake transformed from an ignorant beast to an intellectual being. He is not even familiar with the veins of his own acupoints, let alone the nine apertures.
Therefore, Green Snake can transform into a human being in the body of a spirit, relying on the "transformation" ability of the Thousand Faces Painted Skin.
He was a human being in life, but because he was skinned and boned, his resentment lingered after death and he turned into a cyan human skin.
Qi pulse, nine orifices, meridians...
Except for the lack of flesh and bones, the green human skin has everything that humans have. It is the most desired treasure of all the spirits who have not yet become monsters.
Compared with the "practical knowledge" such as the nine apertures, meridians, etc. that come with Qianmian Huapi, using it to transform into a human being is just the simplest way to use it.

At the same time, on the other side of Weishan.
"Huh?"
Xuan Jue, who was walking among the mountains and forests, suddenly raised his head and stared in the direction of the young man in green with a surprised look on his face.
At that moment, he seemed to sense some kind of demonic energy that was not very pure, or was in the process of sublimation?
"Crazy Monk Lingyou also raised a monster?"
The so-called "demon energy" is actually not a special aura or energy.
It was the result of the monsters absorbing and cultivating all the Yuan Qi they could come into contact with because they had no guidance from their predecessors.
The first ray of the rising sun, the hottest rays of the sun at noon, the afterglow of the intersection of yin and yang in the evening...
The first ray of moonlight in the full moon, the gentlest moonlight in the waning moon in Mount Emei, the moonlight only when the crescent moon is full...
Different practitioners will practice at different time periods according to their own needs, thus absorbing different essences of the day and the moon.
In addition, different cultivation sects have their own unique ways of practicing Yuan Qi.
For example, Taoism’s innate energy, Buddhism’s annihilation of Buddha’s light, Confucianism’s awe-inspiring righteousness…
However, since the monsters have no specific method of cultivation, they can only instinctively absorb all the energy they can come into contact with, and thus the so-called "demon energy" was born.
Some monsters with special skills or special talents can even absorb the pure yang and pure yin energy bred from flesh and blood.
Although this can quickly improve the cultivation level of the monsters, the price is that the aura they emit is very messy, making it easy for people to identify their true identities at a glance.
But the wisp of demonic energy just now is different. It seems to be moving from chaos to purity, and it has extremely strong hiding properties.
"Weishan is really full of all kinds of weirdos."
