Chapter 320: Chapter 186: Corn I Can Understand, But Isn’t Durian Going Too Far!

"I never thought the world could be home to such a fool, you actually spread the Heart Demon disaster voluntarily, one day..."

"Hehehe..."

"Damn, shut up, I don’t laugh like that!"

"Cough, sorry, sorry, I just thought I’d play along." Gu Shanhai looked bashfully at the Heart Demon that bore his likeness, chuckling a bit himself earlier thinking it’d fit the scene—rarely had he seen such an odd version of himself.

"So you mean to say I’ve spread one person’s calamity among nine others?" Gu Shanhai asked curiously.

The Heart Demon disdainfully glanced at Gu Shanhai but did not answer.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai’s expression darkened before he said, "You’re pretty tough, huh? Do you want to experience the ultimate insult?"

Saying this, Gu Shanhai retrieved an assortment of tools from his pocket.

"Wait, why is there a durian?!!" The Heart Demon swallowed hard. It wanted to dodge but was tightly restrained by Gu Shanhai.

"Oh, guess what it’s for." Gu Shanhai fiddled with the durian, then took out a drill and turned it on, "Speak up, or starting tomorrow, your fart sounds will change to laughs."

Gu Shanhai stated that a mere Heart Demon, no matter how aloof, would still have fiery intestines.

This was still considered mild; Huang Yanshan’s antics against Dugu Tiansheng back in the day were even more bizarre, and Gu Shanhai was merely making verbal threats at the moment.

The Heart Demon’s face shifted, and while one says its internal calamity was intangible and formless, being captured meant it couldn’t avoid whatever Gu Shanhai would do.

Its growth over the days gradually humanized it, meaning it naturally acquired human psychology.

"I am you, after all. Doing this to me is no different from doing it to yourself," the Heart Demon hastily said.

"What nonsense are you spouting, how can you possibly be me." Gu Shanhai said with a look that read ’Don’t try to fool me’: "A parasite is a parasite, and how could it ever fancy becoming the host."

Gu Shanhai fitted a corn cob onto the drill and immediately turned it on. The cob rapidly spinning made the Heart Demon’s scalp tingle.

"Come on, I’ll give you three seconds to think it over. I believe you’ll cooperate, right?" Gu Shanhai grimly prepared to count down.

"I’ll say... I’ll say... what you’re doing does indeed spread out the Heart Demon, but heaven and earth cannot be deceived, and the calamity itself is an attack by heaven and earth on cultivators. It can’t possibly be weakened so easily."

"The weakened force of this calamity will accumulate in the next one, and those nine who helped will also be implicated."

The Heart Demon quickly spoke out.

Gu Shanhai put down the drill, his brows gradually knitted into a frown. Whether this was true or false, it would be judged later.

But he noticed the Heart Demon seemed more human now, and its strength was growing.

"Seems like you’re growing alongside me?" Gu Shanhai quickly began to inspect, during which the Heart Demon almost went rigid, fearing that Gu Shanhai would do something bizarre.

The inspection confirmed an increase in strength, but it wasn’t tied directly to his own growth but rather to his Qi Refinement Realm, and there’s a difference in that. Had it been the former, the Heart Demon’s strength would have seen a significant boost, but the latter meant only limited development with the world’s cultivator system.

Naturally, compared to when it was first captured, it was worlds apart.

The Heart Demon hesitantly nodded with a weak smile, not daring to conceal anything from Gu Shanhai.

"Interesting, after you took form, you haven’t drawn mana from me for growth. So where is your energy coming from?"

"Looking at you, you probably don’t know either, but I have a guess. It’s probably from the Qi base."

"Even though I altered the Qi base, my achievement of the Qi base still uses the refinement of heavenly and earthly qi as a carrier, so... there must be a port left here."

"And this port, it’s probably the area used by the calamity to analyze data and pinpoint targets."

Gu Shanhai quickly deduced the reason while the Heart Demon looked utterly baffled, unable to grasp what Gu Shanhai was talking about.

Ports, data, these were utterly foreign to him, not being a true living entity and lacking relevant memories. All its growth and strengthening relied on Gu Shanhai.

"I’ve found a once-and-for-all solution, though the cost seems a bit high," Gu Shanhai said somewhat helplessly.

He further studied his own Qi base, as his focus on the Qi base’s development hadn’t been very intense these days. Thus, he was still at the early stage of Qi Refining, and the Qi base and surrounding Yin Yang Qi Jade Belt also felt rather insubstantial. Whenever it was completely filled with mana, he could begin to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Give the natural channel a try." Gu Shanhai immediately thought of the natural channels.

This talent, derived from the Marked Druid, had helped him greatly, not just for accelerating evolution but rather for use on Spirit Plants, among other things. Natural channels became various tools for him, such as transporting his own energy or remotely providing aura supplies, among other effects.

As he connected the natural channel into the Qi base, Gu Shanhai kept analyzing, and even drew out the mana accumulated over the days, but still, no discovery was made.

The Heart Demon, meanwhile, rolled its eyes as it hung there. Just then, it received some good news—that the man was exhausted, providing an ideal chance to seize control of his body.
