The forest is full of spirits, especially those easy-to-command ones with little cultivation.
These spirits have weak cultivation and limited talent, with mixed bloodlines, unlike the formidable Great Demons residing deep in the mountains.
They live near rural villages, surviving by absorbing the mundane smokiness, not at all detached and pure.
Such low-level spirits are overlooked by cultivators, using talisman paper and spiritual power to subdue them is a waste.
Thus, in the world of the Demon Clan, survival is tough, but these little spirits live happily and freely.
They don't harm people, so they aren't considered harmful demons.
In rural areas, they might even secretly help villagers with farm work or find lost items.
Little by little, they gather a slight amount of belief power, living quite joyfully.
The fortunate thing for these small demons is that righteous cultivators don't persecute them.
