Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 1 Demonic Cultivator
In late autumn, twisted and bare old trees with dead vines stand quietly in the autumn wind, and the rugged cliffs and valleys are filled with the chirping of autumn insects.

call!
A strong wind blew, and countless moths fluttered and trembled in the mountains and valleys, and the sky and the earth suddenly turned gray-white.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be ugly insects about the size of a thumb, with human-like facial features and plump flesh.

Haw!

Under the cover of a net bag, several monsters with human heads were covered, and their wings flapped and swooped left and right.

The sharp mouthparts spit acidic water, and the rocks creaked as they were corroded, forming honeycomb-like scars.

clap clap clap!
The glass bottle quickly caught the human-headed monster and the bottle cap was tightened.

"Three human-faced moths, so lucky."

A young man about twenty years old wiped his sweat.

He was wearing a thick rubber coat and a bee-proof hood on his head. He had regular features and bright eyes.

He knocked on the glass bottle and looked at the furious and spitting human-faced moth inside.

Su Jie put the backpack on his back to his feet, which contained about a dozen human-faced moths of the same kind.

"Twelve, plus these three, sell them in the ghost market. Even if the price is lowered, you can still get a piece of blood marrow crystal."

Su Jie's face showed the joy of the old farmer's harvest.

Ten human-faced moths can usually be exchanged for one blood marrow crystal at the exchange price on the black market.

Human-faced moths are swarms of dangerous creatures with keen hearing and a thirst for blood.

Once too much noise is made or a wound is accidentally exposed, they will swarm in and eat the person clean, leaving no bones left.

In the six months he has been here, Su Jie has seen many of his sloppy classmates end up with no bones left.

If you want to catch them, you need to lie dormant patiently, waiting for the strong wind to blow and disturb them, and take the opportunity to catch one or two.

Sometimes you are unlucky and only catch a few in a day, and you have to be prepared for the risk of losing your life.

Because it is too troublesome, the official naturalized demon cultivator will not take the time to catch it, but human-faced moths are the food that many demon cultivators cultivate like to eat.

So this kind of errand falls to new disciples, such as Su Jie.

He is the outer disciple of Ghost Ridge Palace and a specialized insect catcher.

The sound of the wind gradually died down, and the human-faced moths flying in the sky fell back to the treetops and rocks.

Su Jie put the backpack in place gently and slowly retreated away from the insect valley.

There are winding trails outside the mountain with deep winding paths. Su Jie took off his dull rubber coat and beehive and felt the clear air.

"Brother Su, it seems that you have gained a lot today."

There was a voice coming from behind, and several similarly dressed insect catchers greeted Su Jie.

"I'm just barely making ends meet. After all, the master has to do errands."

Su Jie nodded slightly, these people were also outer disciples of Guiling Palace.

The Guiling Palace is famous for its Gu insects because it controls this insect valley. This place is forbidden to the Guiling Palace and other demon cultivating sects do not dare to appear here.

As he spoke, Su Jie quickened his pace and his eyes were alert.

Although we are from the same sect, we are all demon cultivators, so there is not much friendship to talk about. It is common for the weak to prey on the strong, to rob and even to kill.

"Wait for us, Brother Su. It's getting dark today. Be careful of strange ghosts. We also have a companion together."

"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Brother Su, you are working with Mr. Qiu. You have to turn in ten blood marrow crystals every month. After you have been here for half a year, at least dozens of blood marrow crystals are gone. I really don't treat you as human beings." .”

"Who says otherwise? For example, our master only pays five pieces of blood marrow crystals every month."

Several people mentioned Qiu Laodao in their remarks. Their voices were joking and they accelerated towards Su Jie, somewhat ready to make a move.

In Guiling Palace, Su Jie has always been an unknown and transparent person, so he has no psychological burden when committing robbery like this.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense. My master likes to cast poison. Maybe I have his poison on me. If he hears it, he won't let it go."

Su Jie looked calm, but what he said made the people opposite him change their expressions slightly.

Even if outer disciples like them were beaten to death for insulting an elder lightly, no one would even say a word to them.

The original intention of snatching it faded away, and I was not sure whether Su Jie's words were true or false.

"Senior brothers, let's leave first."

Su Jie ignored the people behind him and walked up the winding path with long strides.

The sun sets, and the setting sun is like blood, staining the sky red.

Su Jie walked briskly, and the distant mountains and ridges were confused. Willow trees hung their branches quietly on the roadside, and their shadows covered the path with wild grass.

After staying away from a few people, Su Jie recalled the words of those outer disciples and thought to himself: "Yes! It's been half a year since I came to this world, and I didn't expect that I would still be a cheap insect catcher all day long."

Looking back on past memories, Su Jie felt melancholy.

Su Jie is not a stranger in this world. He comes from the modern civilized society of Blue Star.

Six months ago, Su Jie had just graduated from an ordinary secondary school and was still struggling to find a job.

These days, let alone ordinary second-level students, it is difficult to find a job even after graduate school, otherwise there would not be so many people choosing to take the public examination.

As a result, he didn't find a job. Instead, one night, an ancient mirror passed down from his family lit up and sucked him in in the blink of an eye.

By the time Su Jie reacted, he had already appeared in this practice world called Tianyuan.

And the place where he appeared was, by coincidence, the deep mountains and old forests in the Guiling Palace area.

Unable to get out of this deep mountain, he joined the Ghost Ridge Palace in a daze.

After coming in, Su Jie found that instead of the scene of the Immortal Family that he had expected, with palaces and pavilions nestled in the clouds in the mountains, he saw a scene of a devil's cave with bones growing into a forest, will-o'-wisps floating around, and poison everywhere.

By the time Su Jie realized that Guiling Palace was a demonic sect, it was already too late to regret it.

In half a year of life, Su Jie has learned some common sense about this world of immortality through constant inquiring.

For example, everyone shouted to beat the demonic monks.

To attain enlightenment and become an immortal, to live forever, what a beautiful word.

But these belong to the orthodox sect, and the demonic monks are evil beings who are spurned and killed by everyone in this world.

Just because most of the techniques practiced by demonic monks are weird and bloody, they often use living people to make blood sacrifices, draw blood, and peel off souls.

Such behavior will naturally be rejected by everyone.

After the last Dao-Demon war five hundred years ago, the Demon Dao was defeated and gradually declined.

Nowadays, most of the demonic sects can only survive in places such as deep mountains and forests, and isolated islands outside the territory. They no longer have the arrogance of killing thousands of miles before the prosperity of the demonic way.

The Ghost Ridge Palace where Su Jie is located is such a demonic sect.

In the past six months, Su Jie gradually accepted his fate and gave up the idea of ​​​​escape.

This deep mountain and old forest is full of evil things, ferocious beasts, and dangerous places, and the main roads are also guarded by disciples.

Want to escape without a pass? If you are caught, just wait for the elders of the criminal law to extract your soul and light the corpse lamp.

Fortunately, although we are cultivating the devil's path, we reach the same goal through different paths.

Su Jie hopes that even if you practice magic to a high level, you can still live forever.

but
Su Jie's cultivation skills were very poor, otherwise he would have entered the inner sect and would not have to run around catching insects every day.

As an outer sect disciple, he specially learned the Hundred Poisons and Gu Refining Manual in order to catch insects, which is the most unpopular demonic technique.

After half a year of hard training, he has only reached the second level of Yunling Realm. His physical fitness is one level higher, he is immune to some minor toxins, and he has a certain affinity for poisonous insects.

Yunling Realm is divided into ten levels. People with Su Jie's level of strength are not even cannon fodder in Ghost Ridge Palace. Outer sect disciples are weak in character and usually end up stuck on the fourth or fifth level of Yunling when they get old. They are nothing more than consumables in the eyes of the higher-ups.

The inner disciples, on the other hand, are expected to break through to the Secret Realm, and usually have the sixth or seventh level of Yunling. Only those who have reached this level of strength are considered attractive among disciples.

As for breaking through the secret realm, he is no longer a disciple, but can hold important positions such as steward, master, elder, etc. His status and strength will soar, and he belongs to the core power class of Ghost Ridge Palace.

Su Jie also understands that he has poor qualifications, but this is the only hope in his life that he can change his fate against the odds.

In the modern civilized world, he is just an ordinary migrant worker, and it is extremely difficult to find a job.

But here, he is expected to master the power to move mountains and seas, and live as long as heaven and earth.

They are all working hard, working for the boss in the real world, and working hard to buy a Ferrari for the boss.

Working for Guiling Palace, at least there is a glimmer of hope for immortality.

The sun has completely set over the mountain.

Su Jie returned to the Ghost Ridge Palace before the last ray of light disappeared.

The corpse oil bone lamp hangs high, and the gleaming ghost fire lights the blood candle.

There was an owl hooting in the branches of the trees, making a sob-like whimper.

Under the illumination of the bone lamp, dark and crude cave dwellings appeared in sight.

"Brother Su, you're back so late!"

A young man with a thin face said hello to Su Jie.

"There is nothing I can do. If I don't catch more poisonous insects and sell them for money, I won't be able to pay my master's monthly salary."

Su Jie responded with a smile. The person in front of him was Su Jie's neighbor Peng Shiwen. He entered the Ghost Ridge Palace in the same batch as Su Jie. He was also a disciple of Qiu Laodao and was at the second level of Yunling Realm.

Because the two parties are neighbors, and they entered the Ghost Ridge Palace in the same batch, the relationship between disciples is better than usual.

"Hey, I don't know when I can survive such a hard life. I am catching bugs all day long. I feel like I am turning into a bird."

"Then you will make a lot of money. Birds and beasts are the natural enemies of many Gu insects. You can go back and try to put on the right wings."

Su Jie and Peng Shiwen joked a few words, and then said goodbye to each other.

When he came to a grotto, he took out the key and unlocked the door. This was Su Jie's residence in Guiling Palace.

It is about thirty square meters inside, with beds, futons, desks and a few other things placed there.

The most precious among them are the bottles and cans that are sorted into categories and placed on the shelves.

Inside were all the poisons he had found on Ghost Ridge Mountain, including blue-tailed demon scorpions, rainbow-blooded snakes, evil scissor spiders, Kuva fire ants, etc., all of which were of inferior grade.

Seeing the appearance of living people, these extremely violent and ferocious poisonous creatures flapped their wings and screamed.

Only one of the poisonous creatures was quiet when he saw Su Jie appear.

This is a red and black centipede with long and short arms.

The strange thing is that the densely packed joints and limbs under its abdomen are actually pale human hands, which look extremely scary.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede mostly lives in damp and dark environments. It lies dormant during the day and emerges at night. Its hands and feet are highly poisonous.

This is the natal Gu insect cultivated by Su Jie.

Although it is not of high quality, after more than half a year of cultivation, it has grown up a lot now.

When I first got it, it was just as long as my fingers.

"Little guy, he's done his job. It's a big meal today."

Su Jie opened the cover of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, took out five human-faced moths harvested today, and fed them in with a look of pain on his face.

Click.

The originally peaceful Thousand-Handed Centipede suddenly moved.

The mandibles bit a human-faced moth into two pieces, chewing and devouring it.

The other human-faced moths neighed, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede stood up half-erectly. The human hands under its belly spread out, easily crushing several human-faced moths.

After more than half a year of cultivation, the Thousand-Handed Centipede has been cultivated to be very powerful. Well, it is only counted among the unqualified poisons.

"Zi Zi, Zi Zi."

The Thousand-Handed Centipede finished the human-faced moth in several mouthfuls, and then turned to swing its tentacles at Su Jie as a sign of continuing to beg for food.

"No, there's only so much food for today."

The Thousand-Handed Centipede refused to let go and crawled around in the culture tank.

"That's all, let me drink some blood for you."

Su Jie had no choice but to take out the blood collection equipment specially provided by the sect and draw out half a tube of blood.

The dripping blood was collected into a small bowl and placed in front of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, where it quickly drank it clean.

"It's really gone."

Su Jie looked depressed after knocking on the Thousand-Handed Centipede, which was still trying to beg for food.

The Hundred Poisons and Gu Refining Manual he practiced focused on the poisons fighting and devouring each other, and ultimately improving the quality of the poisonous insects.

The natal Gu insect is bound to Su Jie. The stronger the Gu insect is, the more feedback it will give Su Jie to cultivate, which can greatly speed up his cultivation.

Unfortunately, the poisonous insects he obtains every day are limited. In addition to feeding the Thousand-Handed Centipede, he also has to hand over ten pieces of blood marrow crystals to his master every month, and he also needs to use the blood marrow crystals for his own cultivation.

This also led to the fact that in half a year, the Thousand-Handed Centipede could only grow by 40 to 50 centimeters, causing severe malnutrition.

Su Jie has seen those inner disciples who have money and resources and feed a lot of poison to their natal Gu insects.

Some Gu insects that mainly grow in size are generally several meters long, and Su Jie is far behind.

Due to the embarrassment of lack of resources, as the Thousand-Handed Centipede grew, more and more poisons were required every day, so Su Jie had to feed it with blood.

But this can't satisfy his appetite, so how can he be so miserable?

Putting the Thousand-Handed Centipede, which was still begging for food, on his arm, Su Jie closed his eyes and started running the Hundred Poisons and Gu Refining Manual.

The next moment, Thousand-Handed Centipede tightly hugged Su Jie's arm, its breath consistent with Su Jie's.

There is a surge of breath in the meridians, and external spiritual power is intermittently absorbed into the body.

According to Su Jie's own estimation, if he continues to practice normally, it will take another year for him to reach the third level of Yunling.

After some practice, Su Jie was not in a good mood, and the road to immortality was far away.

Two hours later, after completing his practice, Su Jie slowly opened his eyes and was suddenly dazzled by a flash of light.

Turning around, he saw that the ancient mirror he had placed in the room was blooming with light, illuminating the grotto clearly.

"Damn it, you can still use it. I thought you were a disposable consumable."

Su Jie was shocked, stood up quickly, and picked up the ancient mirror with surprise and joy.

I saw red light flowing on the ancient mirror, and a void portal quietly opened on the mirror.

Through this door, you can vaguely see a modern house opposite.

Su Jie's mouth opened wide, he was very familiar with this environment.

Because that was the rental house he had before he traveled through time.

He was sleeping in the house when he was brought to this Tianyuan world by Gu Jing.

Seeing this scene, Su Jie understood something. He couldn't hold back his excitement and stepped through the door.
