Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

But doing so would severely drain the three Demons’ energy, and Xu Lei wouldn’t gain much in the end.

Asking Hui Ming for help was also out of the question. After all, if you brought someone in to help, you’d have to share the spoils. It would be unreasonable not to.

Besides, Xu Lei had spent several years’ worth of Magical Power just to capture these three Demons.

Now that he had them in his grasp, it was only natural that he would keep all the benefits for himself.

There was no reason to share them with anyone else.

’I’ll just kill the small one first!’

With that, Xu Lei turned his gaze to the small Centipede Demon.

Its natural scale defense wasn’t as strong as the other two.

"Break!"

Xu Lei focused all his Power to strike the small Centipede Demon!

And sure enough, this time he succeeded.

With a SSSCCHT!, the small Centipede Demon’s scales were sliced right open.

Before it had time to use its Inner Core to repair its scales, Xu Lei snatched it away.

Without the support of the Inner Core, its hard scales were no longer so tough. They were instantly refined by the Array inscribed on the black alms bowl.

WHOOSH!

A small Inner Core flew out and landed in Xu Lei’s hand.

’If I refine this Inner Core,’ Xu Lei mused, ’I can recover all the Magical Power I’ve used up!

And even make a small profit!

As for these two big ones, I’ll just have to wait until my Cultivation reaches the next realm before I kill them!

By then, I should be able to instantly shatter the defenses of at least one of them and seize its Demon Core!

It won’t even take that long. In another four or five years, I should be able to reach the next realm.

Four or five years might seem like a long time to a mortal, but for me, it’s merely the blink of an eye!’

Xu Lei had already been cultivating for over three years, but he had expended most of the gains from that period just to capture these three Centipede Demons.

Although this small Inner Core would allow him to recover his losses and even gain a little extra, the profit wasn’t substantial.

The real prize would only be won when he could finally kill and refine the two large Centipede Demons.

「Three months later.」

There was still no trace of the Old Daoist Nun.

Let alone any information about her identity.

After all, they only had a single portrait to go on, and their target was a Cultivator. She could have simply entered seclusion, which could last for a very long time. She was not going to be easy to find.

Meanwhile, Xu Lei had already escorted Mu Yao back to the Prince’s Mansion.

After quickly handling matters there, he proceeded with the next phase of his plan.

First, he returned to his temple and secretly forged several new Monk’s Certificates for himself.

Then, under the identity of Hui Chi, he announced he was leaving to travel the world.

Next, he donned a Human Skin Mask, altering his own features.

The new face resembled his own but was still distinctly different.

Then, carrying a new Monk’s Certificate, he arrived at a temple called Guangyuan Temple.

There, because he carried a Monk’s Certificate issued by the Head Temple, Xu Lei was "parachuted in" to become the Seed Sowing Supervisor Zen Master of Guangyuan Temple.

That’s right, he was back in his old line of work!

One day, Xu Lei had just finished a secret Cultivation session.

Since the other Monks in the temple had no idea he was a Monk possessing True Magical Power, he could only practice his Cultivation in private.

"Uncle-Master Hui Yuan, a female Devotee is here, seeking help to conceive a child!"

Suddenly, a young Monk appeared at his door. "This female Devotee is dressed exceptionally well," he reported.

"If we can successfully help her, the incense money should be quite substantial!

Also, her looks and figure are quite remarkable, just as you specified, Uncle-Master. That’s why I came to inform you!"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Xu Lei nodded, rose to his feet, opened the door, and strode out. "This benefactress and I are fated to meet! Lead the way!"

"Uncle-Master, do you really know about this whole ’seed sowing’ business?

Like, what do you say to convince a Devotee who wants a child to accept the ’sowing’ part.

Do you know how to handle that?"

the young Monk asked. "Do you want me to give you some pointers?"

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei waved his hand. "Say no more. When it comes to other matters, I may not be the best.

But when it comes to seed sowing, if I claim to be second, no one in the world would dare claim first!"

With that, Xu Lei strode forward confidently.

’The second burrow of my three burrows is finally open for business, and my first act of "Charitable Giving" is about to begin!’ Xu Lei thought.

He was actually in a rather good mood.

But when he arrived at the reception Zen Room, the smile on his face froze.

He had never expected that the young, beautiful Devotee with the remarkable figure who had come seeking a child would be someone he knew—Madam Shen. Also known as... Zhi Jian’s wife!

Xu Lei’s plan was simple: leave behind a few more heirs.

By leaving heirs in enough places, he would secure his "reincarnation insurance," freeing him up to hunt down the Old Daoist Nun without reservation.

But now, of all people, Zhi Jian’s wife had appeared before him!
