Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 1001

In the year 13,310 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Lingjing Star

Lingjing Star is not very strong in the Blue Star camp because it only has one continent that belongs to the Blue Star territory; the rest is all the land of the demon race.

Under the leadership of the Demon Queen, the demon race has also begun to strive for reform and strength. The Demon Queen has divided many areas in the demon race’s territory, hiring human Spiritual Farmers to grow Spiritual Herbs for nurturing the offspring of the demon race. They are also actively participating in interstellar trade, earning a lot of money, and then going to human territories to find Medicine Pill Masters to create pills beneficial to the demon race.

It is thanks to these methods that the demon race can stand in the Blue Star camp and quickly recover, even after suffering heavy losses multiple times.

"Demon Queen, please take a look at this list of students going to Blue Star."

Shenwu handed a list to the Demon Queen and said.

The internal affairs of the demon race are still completely under the control of the Demon Queen, and even the name has not changed. Since Shenwu Demon Emperor’s successful Transmigration, he has only wandered around Heavenly Court before returning, sharing control of the demon race with the Demon Queen.

"There is no problem with the list, but warn our people not to cause trouble in Blue Star. My reputation cannot always be relied upon. If anyone disobeys the order, they should not blame me for being ruthless."

The Demon Queen nodded. Each planet has students studying abroad at Blue Star or Mahayana Star, including the demon race. Anyone above level four has a chance.

However, many stories happen during their time abroad. For example, conflicts often occur between the descendants of the demon race and humans. Almost every group of students has had fights with humans. Ordinary fights are not a big deal, but serious ones can be deadly. The demon race has stepped in several times just to rescue people.

"I will keep an eye on this, and the demon race on this list is generally quite gentle."

"That’s good. Please watch carefully. Also, the resources found this time will continue to be mined by those few companies at Blue Star. As usual, let them pay first, and when the resources are finished, they must restore the environment."

"No problem."

"And one more thing, don’t let those companies bribe our Demon Kings and Demon Emperors again. If they continue to corrupt our people, I will deal with them. I will report to Lin Jiang, and those people will be in big trouble."

The Demon Queen said that the demon race has many industries, with the most valuable being the minerals. There are currently hundreds of mines producing in their territory, bringing them great profits.

However, what troubles the Demon Queen are the Demon Kings and Demon Emperors under her command. They have dealt with humans for too long and have picked up all their bad habits, like corruption and greed, which is overwhelming to investigate.

Shen Wu agreed and then left. Once he was gone, the Demon Queen stopped working, went to the tea room next door, boiled a pot of water, brewed some top-quality spirit tea, poured three cups, and picked up one cup, saying, "Friend, after watching for so long, you must be thirsty. How about having a cup of tea?"

As the words fell, two figures appeared, slowly walking towards the Demon Queen. One was a man and the other was a woman. The man had beastly horns on his forehead, probably dragon horns, while the woman had wings on her back, hidden by her clothing.

"How should I address you?"

"I am from the dragon tribe, ranked third. You can call me Long San."

"Sister, I am also from the Peng Bird Clan. I took a human name, so you can just call me Yi Yi."

"Drink tea, a guest is a guest."

The Demon Queen nodded and then used magic to hand tea to the two creatures. They exchanged a glance and then drank it right away.

"You are visitors from the Demon Domain, right?"

"Yes, sister."

"According to the Star Chart, the Demon Domain is no less than seven or eight thousand light-years from the Tiannan Star Domain. You came all the way here, not to seek family, right?"

"Sister, all the demon races are like family, and we are all from the Peng Bird Clan…"

"Stop. If you only have this little to say, we can end this conversation. You can leave; I won’t keep you."

The Demon Queen said calmly, "If they think they can win her over with just a few flattering words, then they must not think very highly of her."

"Sister, what would you like to hear?"

"I’m very busy, so please be direct. What do you want from me, and how will it benefit me?"

The Demon Queen said she was truly busy. She had to manage the entire demon race, and every day was a whirlwind of activity.

Long San and Yi Yi exchanged glances and were not surprised. They liked this straightforward way of speaking. Then Long San said, "Taoist Friend Lin, our goals are simple. First, we want the technology of Blue Star. Second, we wish for you to return to your roots. The Demon Domain is the real home of the demon race. Here in the Heavenly Court, we are just servants. As for benefits, first, we can purify your bloodline to make you a true Rufu. Second, we can offer you methods of practice after becoming immortal. Third, we can provide you with resources to ensure your gains are better than what you have here."

"Return to your roots? Do you know how many Demon Kings and Demon Emperors I have under me now? Can you guarantee they will all return to their roots? As for the benefits you mentioned, those are just empty words. How can I be sure you will keep your promises if I go to the Demon Domain?"

The Demon Queen wasn’t swayed by promises of wealth. She calmly replied to Long San that no matter how many grand plans he painted, it wouldn’t matter, especially since his plans weren’t very promising.

"Dear Friend Lin, as I know, in the Heavenly Court, the Demon Immortal is not valued, still treated like a servant, but in the Demon Domain, you are of our kind, like brothers and sisters; demons are meant to be with demons."

"I admit, the Demon Immortal’s status in the Heavenly Court is indeed low, but I am special, and you should understand this well."

"Dear Friend Lin, your special status comes from the respect of the Blue Star camp’s immortals, but the Blue Star camp is not strong in the Heavenly Court, and even in this Tiannan Star Domain, they are not considered powerful."

"Dear Long San, you can use your divine sense to see how many Demon Kings and Demon Emperors there are on my Lingjing Star; I ask you, which planet in the Demon Domain has such a scene?"

"I admit, the planets in the Demon Domain, that are similar in size to your Lingjing Star, have fewer Demon Kings and Demon Emperors than you, but…"

"Stop with the ‘but.’ Lingjing Star is what it is because of the Blue Star system; without Blue Star, I wouldn’t be here today."

The Demon Queen interrupted him, saying coldly, and Long San’s face suddenly turned grim.

The demon race planets in the Demon Domain have reached a peak level, the pinnacle of demon race civilization, very hard to surpass, but compared to Lingjing Star, there really is no comparison; it seems his conditions hold little appeal for the Demon Queen.

"Sister, I know we are being a bit bold today, but our Demon Domain is very sincere; we treat all demon races equally. This is our gift for meeting you; it is a demon essence left by an ancestor of our Peng Bird Clan, at the Demon Immortal level, which is very beneficial for you; please accept it, sister."

"It is fine, guests are welcome. Please have some tea."

The Demon Queen nodded. She did not have any negative feelings towards the two; she accepted them with a positive attitude.

Long San and Yi Yi stopped talking about serious matters and instead changed the subject to discuss things about Lingjing Star. The Demon Queen was also very interested in this topic and eagerly joined the conversation with the two Demon Immortals.

The Demon Queen systematically introduced the current situation of the Lingjing Stardemon race to the two, discussing the population numbers, their distribution, and the levels of strength. She also talked about the speed of growth in strength within the demon race. Now, there were about five hundred Demon Emperors equivalent to the Tao Achieving Realm under the Demon Queen. Even those equivalent to the Transmigration Stage numbered over forty. In just a few hundred years, these over forty Demon Emperors would likely begin their Transmigration.

After talking for a while, two days passed in Lingjing Star. Only then did the Demon Queen end the conversation and invite the two Demon Immortals to stay at her palace. The palace was a modern villa, a very large one, even more luxurious than Lin Jiang’s, with a full range of modern facilities.

"Brother Long San, what does this little Peng Bird mean?"

Once the environment was safe, Yi Yi spoke to Long San.

"Yi Yi, why do you think the Heavenly Court wants to keep the Demon Immortals?"

"This must be because of enemies like us. If the Heavenly Court kept the Demon Immortals, they would not be completely blind to what is happening in the Demon Domain."

"Now do you know why Lin Fanghua wanted to talk to us so much?"

"Brother Long San means that the little Peng Bird did not refuse us?"

"If she had refused, then we would be facing the Heavenly Court’s soldiers right now, and we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the benefits of Blue Star technology, nor would she give us a detailed introduction about the demon race here."

"So does she want to cooperate with us or not?"

"It’s hard to say; it depends on what offer we make. Right now, our offer doesn’t tempt her much."

"Brother Long San, this little Peng Bird seems a bit ungrateful; these offers are already very high!"

Yiyi was somewhat unhappy. These offers were quite high; if it weren’t for the little Peng Bird’s special status, how could they ask for such a price?

"You don’t understand; she has her own value. Right now, we are asking her, so it’s normal for her to show a bit of attitude."

"So what should we do now?"

"You sent a secret message back to the Demon Domain. Please let the Dragon Ancestor decide what price can be offered. We will stay here to investigate. This Blue Star has truly caught the attention of the Heavenly Court’s higher-ups; there is indeed something extraordinary about it. We should gather more information to take back."

Long San said that over the years, the Demon Domain has received many messages discussing the technology and civilization of the Blue Star. They know a lot, and now that he is here, he certainly cannot miss this opportunity.
