Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 424:
Wilderness
Small Shadiao’s home was very lively, with many wives and concubines of different levels and many children. Among them, the most outstanding were the children born by Rufu, so they received the best treatment.
He was not a good father, as he favored the children with better bloodlines and neglected the others.
Among all the children, Rufu’s offspring were the most outstanding and had the best bloodline, so they were treated the best, even by the two little Peng Birds.
It was Small Shadiao’s youngest daughter’s 300th birthday, so he prepared a grand celebration with a large cake made by himself in her likeness.
The cake was shaped like his daughter, featuring a golden Rufu soaring with lifelike details, showing great creativity.

Small Shadiao invited the Demon King and other high-ranking demons to the celebration, despite being banished from the Demon God Temple.
Lin Jiang didn’t attend the birthday party because he felt uncomfortable celebrating with the demon clan, even though he had attended human birthday parties before.
Lin Jiang was given a separate courtyard in Small Shadiao’s large home to draw spiritual talismans for his career.
While drawing, Lin Jiang sensed someone entering but continued until he finished, only to find an elder standing before him.
"Have you seen Peng Bird Demon Emperor before?"
"Do you know me?"
"My brother told me."
Lin Jiang laughed and said he hadn’t seen Peng Bird Demon Emperor before, but he could guess that besides Peng Bird Demon Emperor, there was no one else at the Small Shadiao Mansion whose strength could not be detected.
"I heard you survived the big battle in Qing State."
"Has the Demon Emperor senior heard of me as well?"
"You should know that I care a lot about the movements of the human race."
"Yes, I survived the battle in Qing State."
"Could you tell me more?"
"Okay, it’s just that I have little knowledge due to my low cultivation level."
"It’s alright, just say what you know."
"Yes, I…"
Lin Jiang slowly began to speak, of course, he couldn’t reveal everything. He only mentioned some irrelevant things. When he couldn’t explain further, he simply said he was knocked unconscious and knew nothing.
"Did Yang Luo from the Human Clan really die?"
"She should be dead. The Holy Heavenly Sect has been divided among others. If Yang Luo was still alive, she would have shown up by now."
"That makes sense."
The Peng Bird Demon King nodded. The human sects are equivalent to the demon clan. If a clan is destroyed, its territory is divided. If she hasn’t appeared yet, she is probably dead.
"There is one thing I would like to ask for your help with."
"Please speak, senior."
"I heard from Lin Cong that you are a talented maker of magical symbols. My two grandchildren want to learn how to draw these symbols. Could you teach them here?"
"Teaching is fine, but the two young masters and miss may not have reached the fourth level yet."
"They will soon, just a few more years."
"That’s fine. After they reach the fourth level, I will stay here periodically to teach them."
Lin Jiang nodded in agreement. This proposal impressed Peng Bird Demon Emperor. There are many powerful beings of the Yao clan above the fourth level, but those who want to raise descendants are truly rare.
"We can continue our previous cooperation. There are many valuable things in the Yao clan, and we can work together for a long time."
The Demon Emperor of the Peng Bird Clan continued, mentioning that there are few skilled experts in the Yao clan in Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation crafting. Their skills are lacking, and even when they possess minerals, they are useless. It would be better to exchange them for something else.
After Lin Jiang agreed to everything and chatted for a while, the Peng Bird Demon Emperor left.
"The Peng Bird Demon Emperor cares so much about the talented people in the human race, could it be that…"
After the Peng Bird Demon Emperor left, Lin Jiang secretly wondered if during the battle at Qing State, he heard the Green Emperor mentioning becoming immortal, causing destruction, and even involving the Yao tribe. It seemed like the idea of becoming immortal and causing destruction might have come from the Yao tribe. Could it be that the Peng Bird Demon Emperor also has such thoughts?

"Greetings, Uncle."
After the birthday banquet ended, the son and daughter of Small Shadiao came to pay their respects to Lin Jiang.
They had not yet transformed, their bodies had shrunk quite a bit due to magic, similar to humans, with a pair of wings folded up, bowing like humans.
"Alright, no need for so much formality."
Lin Jiang also took out his gift.
"Small Shadiao, you two are taught to be just like humans."
"I taught them from level one to three, by the time they transform, they will definitely be smarter than me."
Small Shadiao was very proud, he had put a lot of thought into these two offspring. He started feeding them Wisdom Arousing Pills since they were very young, to enhance their intelligence. After reaching level three, demon beasts can speak human language. Small Shadiao taught them human knowledge. If they were to go among humans now, being a teacher would be no problem.
"The student surpasses the master, well done, you have done this excellently."
"That is necessary, their grandfather wants to train them to become Demon Emperors."
"Is there a chance?"
"Of course, their bloodline is very pure, and they have perfectly absorbed my strengths. I dare not guarantee Demon Emperor status, but Demon Emperor is highly likely. Otherwise, I would have created a new character long ago."
Small Shadiao said, is he the type of person willing to suffer losses? With such careful cultivation, there will surely be rewards. Otherwise, he would find Rufu and have another offspring to start again.
"Brother, they haven’t been named yet, what do you think we should name them?"
"Don’t you know I’m bad at naming?"
"Do you know how my son Lin Bawang and my daughter Lin Bahua are doing?"
"·····"
Lin Jiang stared at Small Shadiao, trying to see if he was serious. If he was, Lin Jiang would go and call Big Shadiao, ready to teach him a lesson if necessary.
"Ha ha, I was just kidding, bro. My son’s name is Lin Wanli, symbolizing a bright future, and my daughter’s name is Lin Fanghua, representing beauty and talent."
Small Shadiao noticed Lin Jiang’s unusual expression and quickly said he wouldn’t take advantage of the situation.
"You can name your children however you like."
Lin Jiang was speechless and didn’t care much about this matter. He could call them anything, they weren’t his own kids after all.
While Small Shadiao was feeling proud of himself, Lin Jiang was silently thinking to himself about the two bird demons. The magnificent Big Littel Peng Bird looked very impressive with its shiny golden feathers, resembling a fierce bird of prey. It seemed to have the potential to be as powerful as a Demon Emperor.
But Lin Jiang’s mind was filled with thoughts of world destruction, becoming a celestial being, and the Demon Emperor. Connecting these thoughts with Peng Bird Demon Emperor, Lin Jiang had a bad feeling. He hoped they wouldn’t become Demon Emperors in the future, as they were his great nephews after all.
Small Shadiao wanted little Peng Bird to show off his education results. Peng Bird excelled not only in reading and writing, but also in mastering human techniques and secrets.
The monsters themselves were very skilled too. Small Shadiao didn’t let them become young masters right away, they had to prove themselves in the Wilderness first. They fought against humans and monsters, showing great strength and gaining a good reputation in the Wilderness.
"My son has the potential to be a Demon Emperor."
Finally, Small Shadiao confidently stated that he believed his children had the potential to become Demon Emperors.
