Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 274 - 202: This Treasure is Destined for Me!
Tao Qian was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered.
A complex expression appeared on his face as he recalled that indeed, many who had come from Southern Yue had said similar things.
Like the Evil Cultivators he had slaughtered, as well as Master Xiao, Bai Qin, and others.
As for the Devil God Princess Yin Susu, whom he had thoroughly defeated, she was utterly convinced that he was the Secret Demon Dark Child.

Clearly, the issue lay with the cost.
Usually, it would be very difficult to use the Secret Demon Sect's Method like Tao Qian did unless one was a true inheritor of the Secret Demon Sect.
At this thought, he found himself in a difficult position. It wouldn't be appropriate to say, "I, Great Master Tao, am unreasonable; all costs can be exempted."
After pondering for a moment, Tao Qian didn't waste any words.
Suddenly, with a thought, he saw a giant Innate Dao Seed leap out of his crown, revealing the presence of the Taishang Treasure No-leak Body. The borrowed Immortal Spiritual Qi swirled around him.
In an instant, he created an extraordinary presence around himself, convincing anyone looking at him that he must be a True Practitioner of the Daoist Path, a Talent among men.
Especially in the next moment, when Tao Qian solemnly said with the Nine True Spirit Sound,
"Aunt, look at me, do I look like a Secret Demon Dark Child?"
As soon as he asked this, Tao Qian himself realized something was not right.
Listening to these words and looking at the scene,
Those in the know understood that he, Great Master Tao, was vindicating himself; those unaware might think he was up to something else.
As expected, Pan Si Immortal, who was originally just talking to herself, responded nervously to his counter-question, "No... you don't!"
After she spoke, the two fell into silence.
Well done!
This conversation sounded more like Tao Qian was bullying the immortal in the sect.
About to say something to lighten the mood, Tao Qian opened his mouth.
However, it was Aunt Pan Si who spoke first. From the depths of the Pan Si Cave Mansion, where silver light spider silk wove in and out, her gentle voice came again—unhurried, but with more content.
"Don't be anxious; I was just asking casually."
"If you say you're not, then let's leave it at you're not."
"Inside the Spirit Treasure Scripture Hall, indeed, many secret methods of the Secret Demon Sect are recorded. This sect fell apart after a great battle hundreds of years ago."
"It was originally thought that the Secret Demon inheritance had been severed, but in recent years, it has been discovered that the sect had a contingency, spreading many methods among the Demon Thoughts of the Outer Realm Demons, concealing only the key method to eliminate the cost, seemingly waiting for a true inheritor to retrieve it and restart the Secret Demon Sect."
"Because this was discovered too late, the Secret Demon Sect's methods have already spread throughout the Cultivation World and all the Great Sects are unable to stop them, they can only let it be."
"Our Spirit Treasure Sect has also preserved many, even compiling them into 'All Heavens Secret Demon Scripture Fragment.' There are seven or eight types of appendix volumes collected, but these fragments do not contain key methods. If someone were to practice them, they might fall prey to the Secret Demon, ruining our sect's disciples, hence the Sect Master has ordered them to be sealed."
"If you want them, you must first go find Brother Duobao. If he vouches for you, perhaps you'll be allowed to take the complete volumes."
After Aunt Pan Si finished speaking, Tao Qian instinctively shook his head.
What a joke?
He had only come wanting to freeload some Divine Skills, hoping to cultivate a bit during the five days to enhance his counters, never planning to actually convert to practicing the Secret Demon Sect's methods.
If he truly went to ask, and if Duobao Daoist also came forward asking if he was the Secret Demon Dark Child, wouldn't that be a big trouble?
If he wasn't worried about the trouble, he could completely Summoning Demon refine demons by himself, forcing Demon Heads to merge and extract various methods from them.
If he was lucky!
Maybe within five days, he could coincidentally extract the methods he wanted.
The act of drawing lots was indeed addictive.
If it weren't for a sudden whim, he might have already started drawing in his own Spiritual Resonance Cave.
With this thought, Tao Qian was about to refuse when suddenly,
within the Pan Si Daoist Field, a beam of white light shot out abruptly. After the brilliance dispersed, an odd item appeared before him.
This item looked like a small clay figure.
Crafted into an impressively tall middle-aged Cultivator wearing white clothing with a hat, and red eyebrows that soared into his temples, his face was naïve unlike modern people, almost as if he wasn't even from the Human Clan.
The clay figure was so lifelike that for a brief moment, Tao Qian thought there really stood such an astonishingly evil middle-aged man before him.
Before Tao Qian could even take it and ask, the voice of Pan Si Immortal came through again.
"This object is called the 'Yuan Gong Statue.' If you hadn't mentioned Brother Duobao just now, I would have almost forgotten about it."
"As it happens, this is perfect for your use; it contains a complete set of 'Secret Demon Sacrifice Body Sword Technique,' and this object is involved in an old incident related to your Master."
After hearing these phrases, Tao Qian immediately realized that Aunt Pan Si, who seemed to be a social recluse, actually had a rare willingness to talk.
Without waiting for his response, Aunt Si continued,
"Presumably, you are aware of the Secret Demon Sect going mad hundreds of years ago, and continually battling with the Daoist and Buddhist."
"However, our Spirit Treasure Sect was not involved in this."
"Only Brother Duobao was once invited to the final battle, perhaps to loot treasures."
"I heard that day when Brother said 'This treasure and I are fated,' it drove countless Secret Demon Cultivators and fellow Daoist and Buddhist practitioners mad, but due to his strength, they could only tolerate it."
"Until he completely angered a Secret Demon Sword Cultivator named Yuan Gong, who drew his sword to battle with Brother, and even managed to suppress Brother for a while, only in the end to be defeated."
"When Brother returned, he placed this object in the Scripture Hall, claiming it contained an entire set of Secret Demon Sacrifice Body Sword Technique... However, if one wants to cultivate it, they must first pass the test of that strand of Yuan Gong's will within the clay figure."
"Give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you can just return it."
After Aunt Pan Si finished her speech, Tao Qian immediately understood.
