In the "Pansi Cave", Li Xiao was sleeping cross-legged, and Xiaoshan was lying on the stone chair next to him.

Outside the "Pansi Cave", Zhang Biao's rhythmic stomping sound is still ringing, following the advice of the old ghost, Zhang Biao is now practicing this "please Da Fa" that is enthusiastic. Without the old ghost interrupting his exercises, now Zhang Biao is interrupting by himself. Every time he felt that the "gods" were about to go up, Zhang Biao would automatically disperse the exercises, and then continue to practice. According to the old ghost, this kind of training helps him control his own spiritual force, and he is not easily controlled by evil spirits.

It has been almost three days since Li Xiao and the others came back from the Southern Underworld City, and Zhang Biao has been stomping his feet happily while reading after resting for a few hours in the middle. Li Xiao and Xiaoshan didn't know if Zhang Biao's practice like this had any effect, but Zhang Biao hadn't missed his mind in the past three days, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

The old ghost frowned and quietly floated in through the door. Li Xiao, who was kneeling cross-legged, immediately noticed it and opened his eyes suddenly. Glancing at the soul nourishing stone in the old ghost's hand in surprise, Li Xiaoqi said, "Old ghost, it looks like you have a harvest?"

The soul nourishing stone in the old ghost's hand had become only about one-third of its original size, and it was dim, looking like the most common stone on the side of the road.

The old ghost didn't answer Li Xiao's words, and suddenly said with a cautious expression: "Li Xiao, I want to do ghost cultivation." ”

"Ghost cultivator?"

Li Xiao's brows jumped slightly, and he said, "Old ghost, you have no problem, right?"

The Enchantress, unlike cultivators and supernatural cultivators, can learn magic through the inheritance of master and apprentice. But the demon clan can't, their demon methods are hidden in the bloodline, and they automatically awaken with the natural improvement of cultivation. In other words, the Demon Clan is unable to cultivate the techniques in the Cultivation Jade Slip like a cultivator.

But there are always exceptions to everything, and among some ancient classics, there is a special kind of demon clan, that is, "demon cultivation". This kind of demon cultivator is as a demon demon clan, but like a human cultivator, he practices the magic of the human cultivation realm, and cultivates in the same way as a human cultivator. It is said that there were also people who cultivated into "ghosts" with the body of a wandering spirit.

The old ghost is a hundred-year-old ghost, and if he cultivates with the techniques of human cultivators, then it will naturally be a "ghost cultivator".

"Old ghost, our demon clan is born with a powerful demon body, and due to the laws of this balance between heaven and earth, we can't learn magic like human cultivators. Therefore, practicing human magic in the form of a demon is completely ignoring the laws of heaven and earth, acting against the heavens, and often collapsing and dying of spiritual consciousness, this is what you yourself said to me. And it is doubtful whether there is a demon cultivator in the cultivation realm, this is just a legend left by the ancient world, and this is what you told me. Now you're going to say you're going to do a ghost cultivator?"

The old ghost did not answer Li Xiao's words, but raised the soul nourishing stone in his hand and said to Li Xiao: "This stone is called the soul nourishing stone, for us Meizu, it is like a spirit stone in the hands of human cultivators. However, the Soul Nourishing Stone is of no use to human cultivators, it is just a low-level refining material, so it is easy for them to mess with the Obsidian Starstone. ”

"If I hadn't absorbed the yin qi in this soul nourishing stone before I got the inheritance of the jade slip, it would only make my ghost body a little more condensed, and I wouldn't have sucked all the yin qi in it dry. But three days ago, I ran the kung fu of absorbing and gathering yin qi for meditation, and you see, I actually absorbed all the yin qi in this soul nourishing stone. It's a pity that the grade of this soul nourishing stone is too low, if the level is a little higher, there will not be even this small piece left, and it will definitely be absorbed by me. ”

Li Xiao looked at the old ghost intently, secretly surprised in his heart. The old ghost was already at the peak of the quenching period, but now, his cultivation has vaguely reached the edge of breakthrough, Li Xiao feels that if the old ghost is willing, now he can immediately break through the quenching stage and advance to the divine union stage.

Glancing at the old ghost strangely, Li Xiao asked, "Old guy, what do you want to say?"

"I mean, the 'Demon Cultivation' exists, and although I took a great risk to learn the inheritance in that jade slip, in fact, my ghost body is different from the original, and although my exercises have not changed, they are much more efficient. When I saw this soul nourishing stone, I vaguely felt that this soul nourishing stone could make my cultivation greatly increase, not just make my ghost body more condensed, if so, I felt that I could break my fate and do a 'ghost cultivation'. Now it seems that my guess was correct. ”

Li Xiao was taken aback and said, "So, you are already a 'ghost cultivator'?"

"Yes and no. The old ghost said: "I accepted the inheritance of that jade slip, so now I am a little different from ordinary Meizu, no matter how I advance in the future, I am afraid that the possibility of awakening the demon skill will be infinitely low, because I have inadvertently broken some rules of this world." So from this point of view, I can say that it is a 'ghost cultivator'. But now, if I learn human magic, the impact of Zhihai is no different from other Meizu, so I am not considered a 'ghost cultivator'. I have to learn at least one technique and one technique in the cultivation realm, and this can be regarded as a 'ghost cultivation'. When I officially became a ghost cultivator, I was able to learn the magic at will like a human cultivator. ”

Li Xiao understood a little, and said with a cautious expression: "According to what you say, if you want to do ghost cultivation, you must also go through two life and death tribulations?"

"Yes. ”

"Then you still have to do this? Isn't it good to be a ghost honestly? As long as you cultivate to the top, you will also have the opportunity to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and it is not impossible to break through the Heavenly Dao with a ghost body in the end, so why take such a risk. ”

"The period of the five decays of our wandering soul clan is five hundred years, I am already more than two hundred years old, if I don't reach the period of knotting, my longevity will not increase. Do you think that if I just rely on instinct to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, it is possible for me to break through the Divine Combination Rank Formation Pill in less than three hundred years?"

When the demon clan breaks through the third heaven of qi accumulation, they will 100% comprehend the technique of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. However, the efficiency of this kind of exercise is extremely low, and in fact it is just like an "instinct". The old ghost has lived for more than two hundred years, and only then has he reached the edge of advanced "divine harmony", although it is not too slow to say. However, the demon clan can only be regarded as entering the house after entering the Jinshen Combination, and their ability has also been greatly improved. But it is also because of this that it is extremely difficult to ascend above the gods.

The old ghost has cultivated to the peak of quenching with a lifespan of more than two hundred years, which is actually an outlier. If it weren't for the fact that he had encountered a rare liquid aura in the spirit realm, and his blood charm had devoured the body of a primordial infant by chance, he would never have had his current cultivation. You must know that on the earth, for more than two hundred years, he is only the fourth heaven of qi, and the efficiency of his "instinct" can be imagined.

Therefore, if there is no other chance, the old ghost will be promoted to the Yudan in three hundred years, which is actually a fool's dream.

Seeing that Li Xiao was silent, the old ghost knew that he also understood this truth, and continued: "The effect of the cultivator's exercises to absorb the force of heaven and earth is far beyond the instinct in our bloodline, once I really learn the exercises of the cultivation realm, don't say three hundred years, even if it is only fifty years, I am also confident that I will break through the divine harmony and advance to the Dan stage, at that time, my longevity will be greatly increased." In the end, he broke through the Yuanying Catastrophe and proved that the Avenue of Heaven and Earth is not a dream. ”

"If you become a ghost cultivator, you can marry Dan in just fifty years?"

Li Xiao looked at the old ghost a little shocked, he really couldn't believe it. What is the concept of fifty years? Nothing. When he was on Earth, Li Xiao had lived for thousands of years, and his cultivation for thousands of years was only the Fourth Heaven of Qi Accumulation.

"Yes!"

The old ghost nodded, and said slowly: "Have you forgotten? I still have the power of the Natal Essence in my body, but if I don't learn the human exercises, I can't use these powers at all." You are the same as Xiao Shan, you have the highly toxic force of the Colorful Poison Horn Jiao in your body, and Xiao Shan has devoured a Yuan Infant with great power, and most of the power is also stored in its body. ”

Li Xiao was stunned. Only then did I think about it, the natal snake saliva of the multicolored poisonous horned Jiao seemed to have been reduced to a highly poisonous force stored in the bodies of the five corpse locusts, but with his natural awakening technique, even the spiritual sense could not invade it, let alone strip it out.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiao finally sighed and said, "Have you thought it through?"

The old ghost said tragically: "After thinking about it clearly, to peek through the avenue of heaven and earth is to act against the sky, if you don't have the courage to break the boat, where will you achieve anything?"

Li Xiao looked at the old ghost strangely, and said in surprise: "You're not afraid of death?"

If an old ghost wants to become a ghost cultivator, he must learn one of each of the exercises and techniques, that is, he has to go through two life and death tribulations. With Li Xiao's understanding of him, this old guy can be scared half to death as long as he makes a little fuss, where did he have the courage to challenge the catastrophe of life and death, and twice?

Looking at Li Xiao's suspicious eyes, the old ghost's tragic expression collapsed instantly, he looked at Li Xiao flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Isn't there still you? Am I not your puppet now? Even if I die due to learning magic, a trace of spiritual sense will be preserved in your sea of consciousness." As long as you take good care of your body, I will sleep for a hundred years at most, and I will naturally come back from the dead, and I will not really be gone. ”

No wonder! Li Xiao glanced at the old ghost angrily, daring to love this old man with such determination, it was because the so-called "life and death calamity" was not really dangerous to him. However, according to what the old ghost said, becoming a ghost cultivator is a good choice for him. Both himself and Xiaoshan are high-level demon clans, and Shouyuan is naturally not an old ghost that can be compared. They can afford their time, but the old ghost can't.

The old ghost smiled and said, "Isn't the auction in the Southern Underworld City ready to start?" Since it is a large-scale auction once every two years, there will definitely be no shortage of cultivation techniques and exercises, why don't we go and take a look? But before that, we have to get some money first. ”
