Faced with Assaki's invitation, Pan Long thought about it for a while and agreed.

Seeing Pan Long's kind attitude, it seemed that there was no need to fight, Shilu "Xiaoqing" breathed a sigh of relief, and turned into a black-haired shawl girl, if it weren't for a pair of blue-black antlers on the top of her head, she would look like an ordinary person.

Pan Long couldn't help but look at her horns twice, Xiaoqing naturally noticed his gaze, his body shrank slightly, and explained: "I am not good enough, and I can't completely become a human for the time being......

"Most of the monsters in the world will choose to refine things like minions and horns into magic weapons, why didn't you do it?"

"I ...... This isn't a horn. ”

"Huh?"

"I just look like a deer, but I'm actually a rock. ”

Pan Long was stunned for a moment and smiled dumbly.

He found out that he had a preconceived notion that although this guy had always maintained the appearance of a deer, he was only a stone sculpture after all. Is a stone deer a deer? But at least biologically, a stone deer is not a deer, but a rock.

Just like Sun Wukong looks like a monkey, he is actually not a real monkey, but a so-called Lingming stone monkey of a strange species in heaven and earth, which does not belong to the list of beasts at all. Strictly speaking, Brother Monkey is actually a stone into a spirit, not a monkey into a spirit.

After a small episode, the three entered the house.

Misaki's house can indeed be regarded as a "humble house", obviously it is winter, but there is not even a heating stove in the house, and there is a faint musty smell in the house.

After the three of them were seated, Misaki used his mana to make a pot of tea and made a cup for everyone.

Pan Long was not in a hurry to drink tea, but Xiaoqing hurriedly picked up the teacup and drank it all. Obviously, the water in the cup was steaming, and she knew it was hot at a glance, but she didn't feel it at all, just smacked her lips and said, "This time there is a lot of aura in the water." Misaki, have you changed the recipe?"

"A new spirit grass has recently been discovered. Misaki explained.

"That's good, isn't it?"

Misaki looked at her somewhat eager look and smiled: "It's just enough to get some tea and drink it once in a while, no matter how much it is, it's not enough for you to eat." ”

Xiaoqing sighed and hung her head.

Pan Long smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and tasted it carefully.

It's amazingly bitter!

He was startled and asked in surprise, "This tea...... That's how bitter it is?"

"Bitter?" Misaki asked suspiciously, "Isn't tea bitter in the first place?"

"It can't be so bitter, it's just a medicinal soup. ”

Misaki and Xiaoqing glanced at each other, both of them had puzzled looks on their faces, and it was obvious that neither of them felt that "bitter taste" was a problem.

Looking at their innocent and puzzled looks, Pan Long suddenly realized something.

These two are all fleshless and flesh-and-blood.

Aki is supposed to be a monster that imitates the Book of Mountains and Seas, and the body is a bamboo slip, and Xiaoqing is a monster turned into a jade deer carving, and the body is a stone.

Whether it is bamboo slips or stone carvings, there is no flesh and blood, and naturally there will be no five senses. Even if they are successful in cultivation and can see and hear like human beings, since they don't have the need for food, how can they deliberately cultivate relevant feelings?

You don't need to eat or drink, what do you want to taste?

You don't need to breathe, what do you need to smell?

(No wonder there was a faint musty smell in the house, at first I thought it was a temporary shelter, but now it seems that they can't smell it at all.) ）

He suddenly realized and asked, "None of you have cultivated your sense of taste, have you?"

The two demons nodded together.

"It is recommended that if you have the conditions, it is better to cultivate your sense of taste. Pan Long said, "All kinds of feelings are necessary for living beings. Although the feeling brings all kinds of distress, it also brings all kinds of pleasure. Taste is the root of deliciousness, and if you lose your sense of taste, you lose your sense of deliciousness. Wouldn't it be a pity that a lot of the joy of life is missing?"

The two demons looked at each other, and Asaki said: "We work hard to absorb the aura and refine ourselves little by little, often for decades or hundreds of years, before we can have a little result." I don't think it's enough to make my own spiritual veins, and it's a waste to use it to make a tongue. ”

Pan Long then understood, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Folklore often says that the path of cultivation for monsters is much more difficult than for humans. He hadn't felt that way with other youkai before. Teacher Bi Lingkong, in particular, never said that she had encountered any trouble when she was cultivating herself, so much so that he suspected that the folklore was wrong.

Now it seems that folklore is probably not wrong, at least not entirely.

There are some monsters, and their cultivation path is indeed very difficult.

He stopped persuading and silently took another sip.

The tea soup is extremely bitter, but in addition to the bitterness, you can also feel the strong aura. I want to come to Asaki to make this kind of tea, but what I pursue is just a strong aura.

After a cup of tea was quickly drunk, Asaki asked, "This fellow Daoist, your bracer is so similar to mine, I wonder if you know its origin?"

Pan Long nodded and said, "As far as I know, this thing is a treasure refined by the Great Xia Emperor, and it can accommodate a piece of space in it, and it may have other uses - for example, this one in my hand, if it cooperates with the formation, in addition to storage, it can also create an environment similar to the real world, trapping the enemy in it." ”

Of course, he won't use this ability.

The ability to imitate the trapped people of the mountains and seas is not strong, unless someone helps contain the enemy, otherwise even if it is just an ordinary innate master, carefully observe and test carefully, it will not take long to find the flaw and get out of the predicament.

If you want to trap the enemy, it is only right to find a magic weapon such as a special array disk.

Misaki nodded slightly, and said, "What is my essence?" Who refined me? I don't know. I have cultivated into a monster for more than 800 years, and I have been living in Tianwu County and have never left. And my ability, in addition to being able to contain all things, is the ability of the spirit. Over the years, I have enlightened many living beings, but only Xiaoqing has completely preserved the aura and truly become a living thing. The other ignited creatures all changed back to their original ways after the aura was exhausted. ”

Only then did Pan Long understand that the relationship between these two monsters was similar to that of "mother and daughter" or "master and apprentice". It's just that Asaki, the "master", knows very little about himself, and he is a little ignorant, and he can naturally teach Xiaoqing even less.

These two monsters, among the monsters, are probably relatively barren.

But it's strange to say, these two monsters are so poor, how can they still live so comfortably?

He didn't ask the question, just a little pleasantry, and then left.

Before leaving, he asked the two monsters about a different feeling in him.

"You might have cultivated something to refine as well. Relatively Xiaoqing's dazedness, Asaki had some of his own opinions, "According to you, the Great Xia Dynasty has existed for thousands of years. Among them, I don't know how many treasures like mine have been manufactured. Maybe you are one of those things that you have cultivated and then reincarnated as a human being, but you have been reincarnated and forgotten about your future. ”

"Well, that's right!" Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly, "That's why you give me a bit like Aki!"

Pan Long smiled and didn't explain.

He couldn't have imagined that the two monsters would regard him as the reincarnation of the imitation of the Mountain and Sea Sutra after cultivating to become a refinement.

But when he thought about it, he felt that this identity seemed to be good.

There is a lot of inventory in the world of imitation of the Sutra of Mountains and Seas, and since there is Asaki, who has been cultivated, it doesn't hurt to have one more. It's not particularly uncommon for a monster to be reincarnated as a human, and it doesn't hurt to have one more.

If he uses this identity as a cover for himself, it doesn't seem to be bad.

Not only that, assuming that he uses this identity, then the bracer in his hand can be interpreted as refining it from his own body, which is in line with the consistent practice of the monsters.

Teacher Bi Lingkong once said that those monsters who choose to reincarnate as adults often arrange everything before reincarnation, and the most important of them is the arrangement of their original body.

If he really imitated the Mountain and Sea Sutra and then reincarnated after cultivating to perfection, it was also reasonable for him to try to hand over the original body to the reincarnation.

Thinking about it this way, this identity seems to be very appropriate, and there is no problem at all.

“...... Not only is there no problem, but it can solve a big problem!" When he came to the Dragon Slaying Treasure and talked to Wen Chao about this idea, Wen Chao also greatly appreciated it, saying, "Isn't the most distressing thing about you being afraid of being harmed by your family? If you become a monster reincarnated, then your family has nothing to do with you." If others want to trouble you, they won't look for ordinary relatives that you don't care about at all - because most of these reincarnated people only take moral care of their ordinary relatives, and few really care. ”

"Without this concern, your actions will be much easier!"

Pan Long nodded again and again, deeply convinced.

"But...... This is still not enough, the difference between the original Classic of Mountains and Seas on your body and the imitation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas still exists after all. Wen Chao thought for a while and said, "But this difference is not big anymore, and it is much easier than my original idea to want to be confused." ”

He took out a formation disk, on which the rune spells were densely packed and looked dazzling.

"This thing is what I said last time, the treasure that can cut off the induction of the Shan Hai Jing and the Kyushu Great Array. It's just that it's a bit of a hassle to make, and it's still only a half-finished product. It would have taken three or five years to make it completely successful. ”

"But now, according to this new idea, I can modify it a bit, so that all the inductions of the Mountains and Seas Sutra on your body will be transferred to that imitation of the Mountains and Seas. In this way, even if you are the person who presides over the Kyushu Great Array, you will only think that you are imitating the Mountain and Sea Sutra and cultivating to become a refined ......"

"Hmm...... There is still a little difficulty to be solved in the middle, and you must be integrated with the breath that imitates the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the two sides will sense each other. It's like the relationship between the original body and the reincarnation...... It's not that hard, I'll think about it......"

He sat at his desk, his chin in his hand, lost in thought.

Pan Long was not in a hurry and waited with peace of mind.

After waiting for a long time, Wen Chao finally had inspiration.

He took some ingredients, refined them, and finally turned them into a potion as red as blood.

"You first take out all the things in the imitation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and then soak it in. He said.

Pan Long did as he said, and saw that after the bracers were soaked in, bubbles immediately kept popping up, and some of them even had shadowy patterns swaying and fluttering, looking like phantoms.

After a few moments, the bracer was completely dissolved in the potion, and the cup of potion became crystal clear.

"Drink it, and then cultivate according to the normal method, refining the aura contained in it. ”

Pan Long looked at the potion, hesitated slightly, and drank it anyway.

A powerful aura surged in his body, and he didn't know how long it took him to completely refine this aura. I just feel refreshed, and the whole person is much more energetic. The cultivation has increased significantly, and the subtle earth shatters that were not completely digested before have been completely fused.

Probably after going out this time, I will be able to refine Tiangang again.

The Heaven and Earth are refined, and the difficulty increases with each turn. This difficulty is reflected not only in the need to find more powerful evil qi and gang qi, but also in the need to refine more heavenly and earth evil qi.

The Tiangang Earth Demon that needs to be refined is stronger and more powerful, not only is it more difficult when refining the body, but the water grinding kung fu that is refined after the body is quenched will also be more difficult.

The first quenching body, if it only takes a few months to complete the thorough refining, the second time may take a year or two, and the third time and even later, it will take more and more time.

Although the Nine Transformations Xuangong technique can directly point to immortality, if you can't find enough suitable Tiangang Disha and delay too much time along the way, you may die of old age before you can cultivate for longevity.

Looking back now, maybe this exercise is actually more suitable for monster cultivation. Especially those monsters with an extremely long ontological lifespan, they can withstand the difficulty of "not finding a suitable heaven and earth".

The reason why Shi Dang was the patriarch did not accept apprentices may also be considering this aspect, right?

After Pan Long completely refined that aura, under the guidance of Wen Chao, he began to cultivate a special technique.

It took him a long time to master the technique. With the help of this technique, he re-manifested the imitation of the Sutra of Mountains and Seas that had been absorbed into his body before, turned it into a bracer again, and put it on his hand.

This bracer can still hold all kinds of things as before, and as long as he wants, he can take it into his body at any time, just like the secret method of the sword immortal "human and sword unity", people and magic weapons are one, regardless of each other.

"With such an effect, it is no different from the reincarnation of a magic weapon. Wen Chao saw that he had fused the bracer several times in a row, and smiled with satisfaction, "Now even if you go to the side of the Kyushu Ding, unless Wen Chao is not dead and personally controls the Kyushu Ding, no one will want to see that you have actually fused the real Classic of Mountains and Seas, and they will only think that you are the reincarnation of the imitation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas." ”

"Very good! Very good! In this way, your greatest danger will be solved!"

He smiled very happily, as if he had received some great benefit.

After laughing, he asked Pan Long to do him a favor.

——When Pan Long has succeeded in cultivating, please go to the Shendu to check, what was the final outcome of Wen Chao and Zhao Sheng?
