## Details

### Alias

Demon/ic race

The **demon race** are denizens of the demon realm, who as utilize demonic qi in contrast to the spiritual qi of normal cultivators.[?] Not to be confused with Heavenly Demons, who do not originate in the demon realm. Sha Hualing and Mobei-jun are sometimes depicted with the zuiyin mark, though this may merely be a fashion statement and status symbol similar to huadian; An attempt by demon realm's blue blood nobility to imitate the heavenly demons.

Noble demons tend to appear more humanoid.

## Demonic Rulers

The Demon Race attaches very much importance to social class and lineage. As Luo Binghe is of mixed heritage, the pure-blooded demons with the title of Jun had opposed him strongly.

The ***Jun*** (君) title can be translated to monarch or lord in English.[?] It cannot be taken by demons of common or lowly lineages, including mixed bloods like Zhuzhi-lang, despite undoubtedly belonging to the heavenly demon bloodline. Furthermore, it seems like *Tianlang-Jun* (天琅君) is a title given to the lords or kings of the demon realm with ancient/heavenly demon blood.[?]

The **lang** title can be translated to official. It can be assumed that those with this title weren't all slumming it in caves, but at least were not of extraordinary origin.

## Demonic Culture

The demon clan looks at emotions with cold contempt, much preferring good food, influence, and power. This sometimes gives them what Shen Qingqiu describes as a “couldn’t care less” attitude towards things such as past lovers that a human might have an emotional bond towards.

### Demonic Names

Names given to ordinary demons appear to be consistently practical names. Furthermore, family names do not exist in demon culture and the names they chose are incredibly unrestrained and imaginative. For example, the demon Six Balls was said to weigh a mere six balls when born, hence the name.

If the demon is of noble heritage they have a slightly better naming convention, such as Sha Hualing, or even Tian Lang-Jun

## Bartering

The demonic race didn’t have a common currency and mostly barters. If something looked pleasing to the eye then they’d exchange for it—if not, then they would leave it. They appear to place great stock on crafts and little value on special crystals which are thought to be tacky and omnipresent in the demon world. (The complete opposite of humans)

## Craftsmanship

Demons appear to have very little talent for craftsmanship and art. It is said that a piece of ordinary embroidery is equivalent to high-quality handiwork, so the various little trinkets of the human world are always enthusiastically received.

## Demonic Food

Due to geographical and racial reasons, many demonic creatures have peculiar physiological needs, such as the consumption of rotten things. The more rotten it is, the more nutritious for the demons. It is nigh impossible to obtain so many rotten items and hence the need for a specific type of demon, a sower.

### **Sowers**

Sowers are a type of demon that carried demonic plague that causes rot. In the Demon Realm, a sower could be considered akin to a farmer or wholesale distributor of food. In the past, there was a popular feeding spot that utilised sowers. The lord that ruled that place would grab hundreds of people and put them in an enclosed space before releasing the sowers to spread the rot. In a matter of days the humans would be ready for consumption. However, Sowers are too dangerous and the cultivators launched a campaign to suppress them. They were successful as within ten years, Sowers became almost extinct.

It must be noted that the elite nobles of the ancient demon bloodlines do not seek this so-called exotic flavour in their food, while the poorest demons of the borderlands cannot afford this luxury.

## Trivia

* 魔 (mó) can be translated as devil or fiends. They are evil spirits/creatures of remarkable power and cruelty, similar to those found in Western mythology. "In some novels, evil cultivators emulate them by practicing devilish cultivation methods and committing atrocities in their pursuit of power. Some novels consider Demons and Devils to be a single species (妖魔 Yaomo), others as distinct species (妖族 Yao race / 魔族 Mo race). 魔 is sometimes translated as "Demon", which can be confusing at times (particularly when 妖 is also used in the novel)."
