Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

However, there was a significant gap in their Cultivation levels.

As a result, the Donkey Demon swatted her Flying Sword away with a single blow.

The Donkey Demon was no longer thinking about escaping through the window.

It figured that even escaping through the window wouldn’t guarantee its survival.

Seeing that there was an even weaker Human Cultivator present,

it immediately realized that Zhao Xin must be Xu Lei’s accomplice.

So it decided to capture Zhao Xin and use her as a hostage to survive.

Thus, it lunged violently at Zhao Xin.

As the Donkey Demon charged,

Zhao Xin stood rooted to the spot.

It was unclear if she was scared stiff or if she had a Protective Magical Treasure.

But Xu Lei couldn’t just stand by and watch.

’What if she really is frozen in fear?’

So Xu Lei immediately rushed over.

He wrapped an arm around Zhao Xin’s slender waist, pulling her into an embrace.

Holding her, he leaped into the air.

He spun twice before retreating,

landing under the protective light shield of the black alms bowl he had thrown out moments before.

"Uncle Hui Chi!"

Zhao Xin froze for a moment. She glanced down at her waist, where Xu Lei’s arm was wrapped around her.

Then she lifted her slightly blushing, delicate face, her beautiful eyes gazing at Xu Lei.

In truth, she hadn’t been frozen in fear; she had a protective item.

But now that Xu Lei had acted, she naturally had no need to use her precious protective item.

BANG!

At that moment, the Donkey Demon’s attack slammed into the black alms bowl’s shield of light.

But naturally, it failed to break through.

The poison was already causing its Demonic Power to circulate poorly.

With its strength compromised, it was no match for Xu Lei.

Xu Lei didn’t waste any more time.

He released Zhao Xin.

Then, with one hand, he turned the black alms bowl to shine its light upon the Donkey Demon.

With his other hand, he formed a Dharma Seal, sending the Lotus Drill shooting forward to pierce straight through its body.

The Dharma Seal changed again.

The Lotus Drill transformed into the Lotus Hand.

It directly grabbed the Inner Core and pulled it out.

As for the Donkey Demon’s remaining corpse, the black alms bowl directly refined it.

By now, some of the brothel staff had gathered in the corridor outside the two rooms.

When they had only heard the two girls screaming earlier, the brothel’s security guards paid it no mind.

After all, sometimes the girls would play some rather perverted games with the clients.

They only started to take it seriously when they heard what sounded like a fight.

But the door was locked from the inside,

and the brothel staff were currently trying to ram it down.

"Are you alright?"

"Uncle Hui Chi, I’m fine."

"Let’s go."

"Mhm."

Then, the two of them jumped directly out of the window.

They were on the fourth floor.

An ordinary mortal would never dare to jump from such a height.

But Xu Lei and Zhao Xin were not mortals.

Naturally, it was no problem for them.

The night wind blew.

Their robes billowed in the wind.

They descended slowly, landing gently on the ground.

The night was dark and deep.

Most of the common folk were already asleep.

So no one saw Xu Lei and Zhao Xin.

「Ten minutes later.」

Xu Lei and Zhao Xin had already arrived outside the city.

"Didn’t I tell you not to get involved?"

Xu Lei said. "That was dangerous, you know?"

"I just wanted to help,"

Zhao Xin said with aggrievedly, puffing out her fair, tender cheeks. "I didn’t expect this Demon to be so strong!

Even after being poisoned!

It was still able to send my Flying Sword flying!"

"So you just stood there?"

Xu Lei said. "Couldn’t you have dodged?"

"I didn’t react in time, hehe,"

Zhao Xin said. "But I’m fine, aren’t I?

Thank you for saving me, Uncle Hui Chi!

You’re the best!"

"Let’s head back to the temple first."

Xu Lei gave a helpless smile. "We’ll talk more when we get back."

「An hour later.」

The two had returned to the courtyard where they were staying.

Xu Lei lived alone in his own courtyard.

Zhao Xin was posing as Xu Lei’s Lay Disciple.

So she also lived in Xu Lei’s courtyard.

Their rooms were across from each other.

They were now gathered together.

Xu Lei had already cut the Donkey Demon’s Demon Core in half.

"Half for you, half for me."

Xu Lei said, "I didn’t expect it to be a Donkey Demon.

The energy in this demon’s Demon Core is much more potent than that of most other demons.

The effects after refining it should be even better!

But the Demon Core of a Donkey Demon has... other properties.

You can’t refine it directly. Otherwise, you’ll be overwhelmed by lust.

At your current stage, it’s not suitable for you to refine it directly.

Of course, this half is still yours.

You can trade it with other Cultivators for resources.

Or you can choose other methods.

In any case, how you deal with it...

is your decision to make."

"Uncle Hui Chi, I actually know about the... special properties of this Demon Core."

Zhao Xin accepted the half Demon Core, her pretty face slightly flushed. "The moment I saw it was a Donkey Demon, I knew.

I’ve actually been wondering how one would refine it!"

"Is that so?"

Xu Lei nodded. "That’s good then.

I was afraid you didn’t know and would refine it improperly.

As long as you know, it’s fine."

After speaking, Xu Lei prepared to return to his room.

"So, Uncle Hui Chi, how are you planning to refine your half?"

But Zhao Xin asked again, "You don’t have a Dao Companion right now, do you?"

"I haven’t thought it through yet."

Xu Lei paused, stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Why are you asking that?"

In truth, Xu Lei had, of course, already thought about it.

The reason ordinary Cultivators seek a Dao Companion of the opposite sex who is also a Cultivator...

...is that during the act of yin-yang union, both partners can refine each other’s energy.

This allows both parties to avoid significant losses after the act.

Having children, of course, is a different matter.

Giving birth always requires an expenditure of Essence Qi.

That’s why one could have a child with either a fellow Cultivator or an ordinary mortal.

However, Xu Lei possessed the Phoenix True Flame. For him, being intimate with a mortal woman would have almost no negative effect.

After all, he could replenish his energy just by eating a bit more meat.

But if he found a mortal woman, she would then definitely know that Xu Lei was a True Monk who possessed Magical Power.
