Chapter 17: There are many secrets in the grove
Just when the right protector was at a loss, in the Demon Palace, Yu Xi also fell into a problem.
How should she cultivate?
This question is really a bit over-the-top, but as a "Demon Venerable", she definitely can't ask her "subordinates" for advice, she can only figure out her own way.
Yu Xi remembered that there were many exercises in the Dragon Pattern Jade Perry, whether it was the righteous path, the demonic path, or the one suitable for different five element attributes, all of them were available.
Why don't she find a copy from it first and come out to cultivate?
As soon as he said it, Yu Xi took out more than 20 cultivation exercises from the dragon pattern jade pendant in a row, and turned it back into the wood of the big bed, and the entire bed board was covered.
As a goblin transformed into a coffin board, Yu Xi should have thought that his five elements belonged to wood, and took the lead in selecting the two wood attributes of "All Things" and "Golden Lotus Heart Method" from a bunch of exercises.
The text above is obscure, but if you probe your consciousness into it, you can understand the trajectory of the exercises, and it doesn't seem too difficult to learn according to it. Yu Xi is a liberal arts student, and he is the best at reciting, and after a while, he remembers the acupuncture points and spiritual tips mentioned in the exercises.
But it's not as easy as you imagined.
No matter how Yu Xi tried, he couldn't absorb the aura into the meridians as described in the exercises.
Maybe she's not suitable for the Wood Attribute Exercises?
Yu Xi set his sights on other exercises, and tried seven or eight different types of exercises successively, and the results obtained were all exactly the same.
She can't practice these exercises!
How so?
Yu Xi was a little anxious, if she couldn't cultivate, she couldn't gain a foothold in the cultivation realm at all, could it be that what was waiting for her was really a dead end?
No, she couldn't just throw in the towel.
Let's try something else.
Yu Xi took a deep breath, regained his spirits, and prepared to enter the dragon pattern jade pendant to select a batch of new exercises.
As soon as she put away the original exercises, her eyes fell on the bare bed board, and a thought suddenly rose in her heart.
Could it be that she is simply looking in the wrong direction? She is not a human now, so the cultivation techniques of human cultivators have no effect on her?
"Mumu, how did you cultivate?" Yu Xi asked.
"I don't know, but I feel that after following you, my cultivation speed seems to have become faster." Mu Mu didn't know the cultivation path at all, and his cultivation was accumulated over hundreds of years.
Yu Xi couldn't ask anything from it, and found Banzai who climbed back to rest by the trevi fountain and asked the same question.
The little turtle tilted his head, "Monsters and spirits don't need exercises, they just need to stay in a suitable environment and cultivate according to the inheritance." For example, I usually soak in the prayer pool, take the aura of heaven and earth while sleeping, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon! ”
Seems to make a lot of sense.
Yu Xi is not a demon beast, but the coffin plate is fine, it should also be regarded as a spirit?
Maybe she could say it in a way that says hooray.
According to the logic of soaking in water to cultivate, Yu Xi felt that the most suitable place for his cultivation might be a cemetery.
However, there is no such place in the Yuejian Valley, haven't you seen that even the one who was lying in the coffin was set up in the distant Lingzhou Mountain?
Taking a step back, a coffin board is about the same as a wooden board, and rounding it up is equivalent to a wood spirit.
Grassy places are most suitable.
Yu Xi remembered that on the hillside behind the Demon Palace, there seemed to be a lush forest, wasn't it an excellent place for her to cultivate?
The moon is dark and the wind is high, so it's a good time to go out.
Yu Xi took out the cloak that could hide his figure, took out a defensive jade talisman from the ring and put it in his hand, and with a thought, he came directly from the bedroom to the northernmost part of the Demon Palace Great Array.
From here, you enter the woods she said.
The direction of the woods is exactly opposite to the place where the left and right protectors and guards are stationed, and the entire demon palace is separated in the middle.
Yu Xi didn't meet anyone else along the way, but she didn't dare to go too far from the Demon Palace, and after going deep into the forest for two or three miles, she found the thickest tree and climbed it.
Halfway through the climb she stopped, and there was a place to sit cross-legged, surrounded by lush foliage that hid her figure.
The night is quiet.
There was no sound around, Yu Xi tightly squeezed the jade talisman in his hand and closed his eyes.
After a while, she didn't feel the aura pouring into her body, but felt sleepiness first.
This kind of sleepiness is not the sleepiness after the body is extremely tired, but the kind of sleepiness that warms the whole body after being full of wine and food.
At first, Yu Xi also beat her spirits and asked herself not to fall asleep.
Holding on, his body softened, curled up on the tree, and sank into sleep.
The warm breath seemed to come from the sea of knowledge, and it seemed to pour in from the surface of the skin, gradually spreading to the limbs, so that every inch of the body was wrapped in warmth.
This is the most comfortable sleep Yu Xi has slept in since he crossed over.
Wrong!
How did she fall asleep?
Yu Xi sat up in a panic, and it was still dark all around. Fortunately, it was still late at night, and she should have slept for long.
But the next moment, she realized that something was wrong.
How did she feel that her perception of aura had become stronger?
Moreover, there seems to be an indescribable power in the body, which is faintly circulating. If she guessed correctly, this is called spiritual power.
Her cultivation has improved?
Could it be that she really found the right way, and the spirit should cultivate like this?
Yu Xi couldn't wait to test her cultivation with the spirit stone now, but there was no safety in the woods for the Demon Palace, so she held back her eagerness and jumped down from the tree.
To be on the safe side, let's go back to the Demon Palace and test again.
The night in Tsukimidani is deeper than outside, and without moonlight, it is difficult to discern the direction. The outline of the Demon Palace was also obscured by dense grass and trees, and Yu Xi couldn't tell the direction he came from for a while.
However, she came uphill, and it was right to go down.
Gathering the cloak on his body, Yu Xi walked down along the inclined slope, and after walking more than a hundred steps, he suddenly found that something was wrong, the slope here gradually flattened, and it didn't seem to be the direction leading to the bottom of the valley.
She found a tree to climb to the top, and sure enough, the direction she had just walked was a little off, she was going east, and the Demon Palace was located on the south side of the woods.
Fortunately, the deviation is not big, and it is not far from the Demon Palace, so she can return to the Demon Palace in half an hour.
Just as Yu Xi was about to jump down from the tree, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded below, and Yu Xi hurriedly grabbed the trunk of the tree and stood up again.
Below came a man and a woman, and two demon cultivators.
She just had an impression of the two, one was the captain of the guard who had been summoned by her into the Demon Palace Array, and the other was the whitest and plump among the palace maids, Yu Xi remembered her, as if her name was Liu Yang.
"There's no one here, you name it." The captain of the guard lowered his voice.
Yu Xi on the tree tightened the cloak on his body.
There are many secrets in the grove, and the ancients did not deceive me.
