As soon as Jiang Yuebai's spiritual energy emerged from his fingertips, the first leaf broke into pieces.
For the second leaf, Jiang Yuebai reduced the amount of wood spiritual energy and let it penetrate little by little along the stem below, before reaching the first fork.
Poof! A big hole was poked in the leaf.
Li Jiuchuan reminded: "The veins of the leaves become thinner towards the tip, so you have to pay attention to the changes when controlling them."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, and plucked the third leaf from the cabin door, reducing the amount of spiritual energy again, staring at the leaf with a frown.
This time, after more than ten breaths, the leaf was still intact, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on Jiang Yuebai's forehead.
"Well, you didn't release any spiritual energy at all." Li Jiuchuan said embarrassedly.
Jiang Yuebai was stunned, "No? I clearly let him out."
Seeing Li Jiuchuan's serious expression, Jiang Yuebai's eyelids drooped, "I'll do it again!"
puff!
The leaves are broken!
Come again!
puff!
The leaves are broken again!
Come again!
Seeing that the novelty was not going away for a while, Li Jiuchuan simply sat on the mast with his legs crossed, closed his eyes and meditated, feeling the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth and experiencing the feeling of following the laws of nature.
The sun sets and the moon rises, the stars shine brightly, a lone sail sails in the sea, and the world is silent.
"Who plucked out my silver date tree?!"
The angry voice of Master Lingjun broke the silence of the night. Li Jiuchuan woke up from his meditation. He glanced at a hand pointing at him, and then quickly retracted his gaze.
Li Jiuchuan lowered his head and looked into the eyes of Master Lingjun.
Lingjun Zhenren suddenly smiled and said, "Sorry for disturbing Jiuchuan Zhenjun's meditation. It's okay, it's just two silver jujube trees. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it."
"I'm sorry. After we return to the sect, I will find a few better ones to compensate you."
"It's just a small matter, a small matter."
Master Lingjun glanced at the bare silver date trees again, his eyes twitched slightly, and he bowed to Li Jiuchuan and returned to the cabin.
Li Jiuchuan sighed, "If you want to practice, you can't just grab a tree and pull it out."
"I didn't catch one tree, I pulled up two trees."
Li Jiuchuan lowered his eyes and saw that on the other side of the cabin, where he could hardly see it, there was a silver jujube tree, which was also bare without leaves.
Li Jiuchuan: … …
"Master, haste makes waste. I won't practice for now. I still have a second question for you."
"Is it that more haste makes waste, or are there no more leaves to use?"
Jiang Yuebai pretended not to hear, "Master, when I came back to the sect this time, I read the technique given to me by my great master, and I also browsed a lot of techniques in the library. You know that I am practicing the technique of the demon race. Not long ago, I saw a technique that can barely be considered as the technique of the demon race. After reading it, I wondered what the difference is in the practice of the three races of humans, demons and monsters."
Li Jiuchuan was stunned, not because the question was difficult, but because it was so big that he didn't know where to start.
In fact, he had considered practicing the magic techniques of demons and devils because his life-saving magic weapon was shattered and he could not continue practicing.
It’s just that the orthodox techniques of demon cultivation and devil cultivation are too difficult to find. Those circulating on the market in the world of cultivation have all been modified, becoming increasingly inferior, so his understanding is also very limited.
Li Jiuchuan thought for a moment before saying, "To put it simply, humans cultivate qi, demons cultivate spirits, and devils cultivate bodies."
"Please tell me more specifically about the demon race. I have a general understanding of the human race and the monster race, but I am not clear about the demon race." Jiang Yuebai asked.
Li Jiuchuan didn't think much about it. "The reason why demons train their bodies is because they are formed from the turbid energy of heaven and earth, and are naturally formless and intangible. It may be because they have no body, so after the demons have cultivated to a certain level, they prefer to forge a strong body for themselves."
"The body can protect itself from harm, and it can also suppress the core that becomes unstable due to consuming too much energy. Therefore, many techniques passed down from the demons were divided into two schools, one focusing on body building and the other focusing on consuming energy."
Jiang Yuebai thought and asked, "How do the demons absorb so much energy that is different from their own?"
"What will happen if ink drops into water?" Li Jiuchuan asked back.
"Not really. From another perspective, it's like a big fish eating a small fish, and a small fish eating a shrimp. It's the higher level devouring the lower level. The origin of the devil is the turbid air when the world was first created. The purer the turbid air, the higher level it is."
"The higher level can suppress and subdue the lower level. The part that can be assimilated and absorbed will be used for its own use, and the part that cannot be assimilated will be expelled from the body. This is how I understand the demon race's devouring method."
Jiang Yuebai scratched his head. It sounded like if something could be digested after eating it, it would be digested, and if not, it would be excreted as feces. It turned out that demons could also poop. How novel.
"Do the human race's demon cultivators also practice in this way? How do they ensure that they won't degenerate into true demons?"
Li Jiuchuan thought Jiang Yuebai was still worried about Lu Nanzhi, and sighed, "Although most demon cultivators do not have a good end, either killed by enemies or killed by heavenly punishment, there are still a few who are strong-willed and will use the great aspirations to protect their hearts."
"Great aspirations?"
"This is actually the Buddhist method. At the beginning of practice, you set a great aspiration and constantly deepen your obsession with the aspiration. If the obsession is deep enough, even the devil will find it difficult to disturb you."
"Isn't this just drinking poison to quench thirst?"
For practitioners, obsession is a very scary thing.
Li Jiuchuan smiled and said, "The great aspiration of Buddhism is nothing more than saving all living beings. Taking this as an example, this aspiration is fundamentally impossible to achieve, but saving one person can also be considered as fulfilling a little bit of the aspiration."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly realized, "You are just playing tricks on yourself, right? You made a wish that can be fulfilled but not completely fulfilled to keep yourself awake and not be lost in the evil spirit. What if, by some chance, your wish is fulfilled?"
Li Jiuchuan looked into the distance, "If it is the great aspiration to save all living beings, I am afraid he will become a Buddha right away. If it is a demon with a similar aspiration, I am afraid he will become an almighty demon. The specific situation depends on the size of the aspiration. The Buddhist sect will naturally be Buddha-oriented, and the demon clan will be demon-oriented."
"What about the door? Can't it be the same?"
"Buddhism emphasizes the reincarnation of merit, self-sacrifice for others, and giving up this life to cultivate the next life. Taoism emphasizes cultivating oneself in the present, seeking the supreme and infinite, and being pure and inaction. How can one use obsession to bind oneself?"
Jiang Yuebai held her chin in her hand and thought deeply. Her master's words made her understand more about practicing magic, but she didn't want to practice magic, nor did she need to make any great aspirations.
More useless knowledge!
"Master, let's not talk about this. I'm actually curious, after dropping ink into water, is there any way to make the water clear again?"
Li Jiuchuan looked at Jiang Yuebai, wondering if she had considered this step for Lu Nanzhi? Unfortunately, once you are possessed by the devil, it is difficult to turn back.
But he couldn't discourage her, as this kind of kindness was very rare.
"You ask this because you have thought of something?" Li Jiuchuan asked back.
Jiang Yuebai took out a demon pill, "Take this demon pill for example, demons also cultivate spiritual energy, which is pure energy in theory, but can the violent aura in the demon blood be considered turbid energy?"
"Then according to the law that when the world was first created, the pure air rose and the turbid air sank, the two should be able to be separated. As long as an external force can be added to the center of the demon pill, such as a vortex, that is, high-speed rotation..."
Li Jiuchuan frowned. He had seen similar things in several magic techniques before. It seemed that he had the same idea, but he did not take it seriously and never verified it.
Li Jiuchuan sucked the demon pill into his palm, and as soon as he thought about it, the demon pill immediately began to spin at high speed in his palm.
"Hey hey hey? Master, please be careful, this is my..."
Before he could finish his words, the demon pill exploded into powder in Li Jiuchuan's palm, and the strong airflow directly blew Jiang Yuebai off the mast.
Jiang Yuebai climbed back up, and Li Jiuchuan stretched out his hand, "Give me another demon pill."
Seeing that his master seemed to have realized something, Jiang Yuebai gritted his teeth, took out another magic pill and handed it to him.
The demon pill once again spun at high speed in Li Jiuchuan's palm, becoming hot and smoking as if it was burned to extreme, and a faint red airflow was gradually thrown out from it.
Jiang Yuebai held his breath nervously, but the next moment, the demon pill suddenly exploded without any warning.
The air flow hit her face, and she felt that what exploded was not the demon pill, but her bloody heart.
Li Jiuchuan's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to Jiang Yuebai again.
Jiang Yuebai was immediately furious, "You are a Nascent Soul cultivator, how can you not even have a demon pill?"
"No."
Jiang Yuebai: (▼ヘ▼#)
Jiang Yuebai placed the last magic pill in her master's hand and swore that if it exploded again, she would kick him off the mast!
