Merge with the slug immortals and lose yourself forever?

In the girl's mind, such a death is even more chilling than simply dying.

Sakura Haruno was silent.

"Maybe it's not quite right to call it dead," said the little slug's voice, which became mournful and ethereal, "because the loser is absorbed by the slug immortal and becomes a part of this great immortal entity called the slug immortal, in a sense......"

"The loser also gains eternal life. ”

Sakura felt his scalp tingle: "Eternal life?

"Huh. ”

The little slug didn't speak, but smiled meaningfully.

"Wait," Sakura Haruno suddenly realized something, her expression suddenly became strange, and her eyes flickered as she looked at the little slug, "So, you shouldn't ...... One of the losers, right?"

She looked at the slug, and the more she looked, the more she realized that her assumption was reasonable.

In fact, Sakura Haruno has long had doubts. The clone of the slugs has always called her and Tsunade "Tsunade-sama" and "Sakura-sama Haruno", but the body of the slug immortals calls them "Tsunade" and "Sakura-chan". With the status and strength of an immortal, the latter's title is normal, and it is impossible for it to call a few small characters an adult. The clone of the slug puts its status very low, indicating that in the subconscious of the split, it is not the same as the ontology. Tsunade seems to have been accustomed to this, and Sakura Haruno never asks this question because she rarely summons slugs.

So it was only at this time that she suddenly realized that the thinking patterns used by the slugs split were different from those of the slug immortals, and they probably originated from those who failed to merge with the immortals......

It's no wonder that the slug clones summoned by Tsunade are always polite and respectful to Tsunade, but the personality in front of her is quite a bit of a bad taste, think about it, their predecessors are different ninjas, right?

It's no wonder that when it first saw the slug immortal, it could see through the secret of Haruno Sakura's soul at a glance; Guy Yin, the big slug itself, was a multi-soul aggregate, and there were dozens or hundreds of spiritual cores fused together, and Sakura's three cores were completely insignificant compared to it!

"I'm just a tiny doppelganger of this great individual beneath our feet, and if it weren't for the inconvenience of the ontology, I wouldn't be in this world. The little slug shook its tentacles and said, "Maybe I used to be a good ninja, but that's from the previous life. ”

"Don't you remember anymore?"

"Why should I remember?" the little slug asked with a smile, "I'm part of the Slug Immortals, not some ninja from the past. Whether there are those memories or not, it doesn't matter to the slug. ”

The little slug's answer sounded open-minded.

Sakura Haruno listened to it very badly.

Even the thought that if she failed, she would become such a slug, she felt creepy.

Worse than dead!

If you die, you may be able to be summoned by the rebirth of the filthy earth one day, but once you fail here, your soul and body are merged into the slug's body, and you will really disappear, and even your memories will be lost, and you won't even know who you are, and you will never be able to leave your own traces in this world again......

Seeing that Sakura Haruno had an ugly face and didn't speak for a long time, the little slug urged: "Okay, let's stop the small talk about the relationship between my body and my doppelganger, Lord Sakura!

"Hmm. Sakura Haruno took a deep breath and shook her head, throwing her chaotic thoughts out of her head.

Refocus on the cultivation of immortal arts.

"Don't worry, Teacher Slug. Before the second immortal cultivation began," the girl's eyes quickly calmed down, and she looked at the little slug like a clear pool and said, "Let's discuss the reason for my failure just now." ”

"And where do you think you're making a mistake?" it asked rhetorically.

"There are ...... factors in all aspects," Sakura frowned slightly, carefully recalling the cultivation process just now, and replied, "But the most fundamental point is that natural energy is too difficult to control, and there are a lot of them. ”

"The Immortal Chakra requires me to reconcile my natural energy with my physical and spiritual energy in equal proportions. I can control the latter two precisely, but the natural energy is the first contact, and I have no experience in manipulating it or using it, so I can only let it operate in the meridians, and it is quite difficult to reconcile it with the physical and spiritual energy into the Immortal Chakra! Moreover, even if the ratio of the three energies can be adjusted well, the new natural energy will be injected in again, causing the balance that has just been established to be broken again, and then I have to start again, which is the most headache part. ”

The little slug laughed, "That's true. I don't know if you remember that when you came to the Wet Bone Forest last year, my body told you that when you became more chakra, you would be qualified to practice immortal arts. ”

"The reason is that when cultivating immortal arts, a large amount of chakra needs to be consumed in the cycle of establishing balance, a large amount of natural energy continuing to pour in, balance breaking, and then re-establishing balance. If you are a ninja with an average amount of chakra, this cycle will only go on two or three times, and the chakra will run out, resulting in the cultivation having to be terminated, and the progress of cultivation will be extremely slow, and even if it takes decades, you may not be able to succeed in cultivating!"

Sakura Haruno nodded.

"Refining the Immortal Chakra is a two-step process. Slug went on to explain, "The first step is to perceive the energy of nature. The second step is to reconcile the energies of nature. When cultivating, let's start with the second step, I will help you infuse the natural energy into your body, you just need to concentrate on practicing the harmony of natural energy and generating the immortal chakra. ”

"I'm going to keep an eye on your state during this process. So you can try and cultivate with peace of mind without worrying about the natural energy getting out of control, because until then, I will spit you out in time and drain the excess natural energy from your body. ”

"Of course, the process can be a little uncomfortable......"

Sakura Haruno couldn't help but roll her eyes at it: "It's not just a little uncomfortable!"

The slug said it lightly, but the Sakura Haruno who was squeezed and spit out in the cramped esophagus was quite uncomfortable. Coupled with the feeling of emptiness caused by the energy in her body being drained, she retched even more.

Compared to the feeling of nausea that you want to vomit but can't vomit, it may be more refreshing to be beaten up!

"How can there be anything in the world where you can easily gain strength without going through arduous cultivation? There is no special trick in immortal cultivation, it is to rely on a large amount of practice to cultivate one's ability to manipulate natural energy. So, hold on, Sakura-sama Haruno!" said the slug, shaking its head.

Sakura Haruno shrugged her shoulders in understanding.

She had been practicing the boring basic skills for seven or eight years before she had gained the unparalleled chakra control, so she knew better that this kind of basic cultivation could not be opportunistic.

Slug finally added, "When practicing reconciling natural energy, you will slowly develop a certain understanding of it as you constantly try to control it, which will make the first step of perceptual cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. When it's time to practice perceiving natural energy, you don't need to be swallowed by me and then cultivate, and then your cultivation will become much easier!"

"Anyway, let's get started, Sakura-sama!"

……

……

Haruno Sakura's immortal cultivation was soon on the right track.

Of course, the so-called right track doesn't mean that Sakura Haruno quickly mastered the knack of cultivation, so she is no longer as embarrassed as she was when she failed the first time, she just-

I'm just used to it.

Accustomed to the difficult manipulation of natural energy, accustomed to being spit out violently by slugs after failing in cultivation, accustomed to retching weakly lying on the back of an immortal, accustomed to being embarrassed by himself.

It's about the same as the first practice, the second and third,...... Until dozens or hundreds of cultivations, the final result was no different, and the same naked girl was spit out in embarrassment.

The biggest difference is that every time she cultivates, Sakura Haruno will persist for a longer time than the last time.

And the appearance of the girl when she was spit out also changed from being eroded by natural energy at the beginning, to the end except for the gorgeous purple eyeshadow, there are almost no traces of erosion by natural energy in the rest of the place.

Time passed day by day, and Sakura Haruno was also down-to-earth, slowly approaching the end of her cultivation step by step.

[Pure as me, I don't really understand what the pill swallow you send means!]
